Getting to Zero Update28 July 2009http://www.basicint.org/about.htmPlease note, BASIC and Crisis Action have a bi-weekly update devoted solely to diplomatic developments related to Iran's nuclear program, which may be found at the following web address: www.basicint.org/update/iran.htm.Previous editions of BASIC's GTZ Update are available here.To subscribe or unsubscribe from this update, please visit the following page: www.basicint.org/contacts/index.php.IN THIS ISSUE:* BASIC and Getting to Zero (GTZ)* Commitments to Disarmament and Arms Control* Country Reportso United Stateso United Kingdomo Irano North Koreao Russiao Indiao Pakistan* Missile Defense* Additional PublicationsBASIC and Getting to Zero (GTZ)BASIC is delighted to announce the appointment of its new Program Director in Washington, Anne Penketh. She has a distinguished career as an international journalist, and was most recently Diplomatic Editor of The Independent (London). Anne began her reporting on nuclear weapons issues at the Geneva and Reykjavik Summits in 1985-6 between Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev. In recent years she has continued to work on disarmament and non-proliferation issues, including covering diplomatic maneuvers at the United Nations over Iran's nuclear program. Anne will start in August. For more information, please see BASIC's Media Advisory.Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament were on the agenda of both the G8 Summit meeting in L'Aquila, Italy and the U.S.-Russia Summit in Moscow. Two weeks later, U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown released his Road to 2010 report on nuclear energy and weapons, which was quickly followed by private briefings indicating that the design contract for the Trident nuclear weapons submarine system would be delayed until after the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference in May 2010.

The "reset" summit included both leaders signing a Joint Understanding for the START Follow-on Treaty, which commits the two nations to an agreement that will reduce the number of strategic nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles to a range of 1,500-1,675, and 500-1,100 respectively. Negotiating delegations are led by Rose Gottemoeller, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, and Anatoly Antonov, Russia's Chief of Security and Disarmament Issues. The 1991 START agreement, which expires on December 5, allows for a total of 6,000 warheads on 1,600 strategic delivery vehicles, and the 2002 Moscow Treaty - Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (SORT) - set limits between 1,700-2,200 operationally deployed strategic warheads by 2012, but without verification. U.S. and Russian negotiators met again on July 22 and 23. Reports from Geneva were positive, but had few details.G-8 Summit in L'AquilaLeaders at the Group of Eight (G8) Summit in L'Aquila, Italy (8-10 July) issued a statement on non-proliferation which declared, "We are all committed to seeking a safer world for all and to creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons, in accordance with the goals of the NPT." The leaders supported U.S. President Obama's desire to seek ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), and called for bringing the treaty into force. The statement urged Iran to engage diplomatically with the international community, and sharply criticized the May nuclear test in North Korea. At the G8 Summit, U.S. President Obama presented his plan to host a Global Nuclear Security Summit on March 9 and 10, 2010, which would provide a platform for multilateral discussion on such issues as cooperatively combating international nuclear smuggling and nuclear terrorism.IAEA selects new chiefOn July 2, Yukiya Amano was selected by the IAEA Board of Governors to be the next Secretary-General. He replaces Mohamed ElBaradei, whose term will end in November 2009. Amano has been the favored pick of the United States and Europe, and will be the first East Asian to serve as Director General of the IAEA. The alternative candidate, South Africa's Abdul Samad Minty, was supported by the representatives of countries of the developing world who perceive tighter non-proliferation rules as undue limitations to their development of peaceful nuclear energy whilst nuclear weapon states avoid their own responsibilities to disarm. After the election, Amano asked for the "solidarity of all the member states," and assured developing countries that the IAEA is not just a "nuclear watchdog."Further Reading* Test Ban Monitoring: No Place to Hide (Summary - full article requires subscription)Daniel Cleary, Science, Vol. 325, no. 5939, pp. 382-385, July 24, 2009http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/325/5939/382* Talking About Nuclear Weapons Policy: Lessons from Recent Public Opinion and Messaging ResearchU.S. in the World (USITW) presentation, summary and link to report available on the website of the Connect U.S. Fund, July 2009http://www.connectusfund.org/resources/talking-about-nuclear-weapons-policy-lessons-recent-public-opinion-and-messaging-research* Rebutting the standard arguments against disarmamentGeorge Perkovich and James M.

Analysts have gone so far as to suggest that arms control is a fundamental part of his Presidential strategy, and that it is part of an emerging "Obama Doctrine." The New York Times ran a major story on Obama's activism as a senior at Columbia University in 1983 on issues of nuclear disarmament, and argued that Obama has long been committed to a world without nuclear weapons.Clinton says she considers disarmament a priorityAt a presentation at the Council on Foreign Relations, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "We want to reverse the spread of nuclear weapons, prevent their use, and build a world free of their threat." Clinton reiterated that the United States stands ready to engage diplomatically with Iran, although she said that opportunity will not last forever, and also affirmed that the United States was pursuing "complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

The report announced the creation of a ?20 million Nuclear Centre of Excellence in the United Kingdom that would develop proliferation-resistant nuclear technologies, a meeting of major donors to discuss the future funding and capabilities of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and recommitment to hosting a Nuclear Weapons States conference in September. For more information, also see BASIC's analysis of the Road to 2010 report.Government officials signal Trident delayLater on the same day, British officials indicated explicitly the government's intention to delay signing off on design contracts for the Trident nuclear system replacement until after the NPT Review Conference in May 2010 —a signal of the importance the U.K. government attaches to its success. This "initial gate" phase was scheduled to happen this fall. The following morning a government spokesperson said that the timetable for the project remains unchanged. Analysts speculated this was possible as the timetable had always included significant flexibility within it. The move to delay may have reflected concerns about tight defense budgets and the looming General Election.Poll shows public support waning for TridentJust before the release of the Road to 2010 report and news about a delay for Trident replacement, The Guardian published the results of its poll with ICM that showed 54% of U.K. voters were against renewing the U.K. system, and 42% were in favour. The results are in contrast to findings from two years ago that had 39% opposing and 51% in favour.Further Reading* Sense on TridentFinancial Times, July 19, 2009http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/17c3aa72-748b-11de-8ad5-00144feabdc0.html* Gordon Brown delays Trident workThe Telegraph, July 17, 2009http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/defence/5844275/Gordon-Brown-delays-Trident-work.html* Trident poll: Disarming opinionsEditorial, Comment is Free, The Guardian, July 14, 2009http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jul/14/editorial-trident-nuclear-poll* Voters want Britain to scrap all nuclear weapons, ICM poll showsJulian Glover, The Guardian, July 13, 2009http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jul/13/icm-poll-nuclear-weapons* U.K. Willing to Reduce Nuclear Arsenal, Brown SaysGlobal Security Newswire, July 10, 2009http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20090710_1911.php* Talks could lead to cut in UK's nuclear stockpile, says Gordon BrownPatrick Wintour, Larry Elliot and Julian Borger, The Guardian, July 9, 2009http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/09/britain-nuclear-stockpile-summit-obama* The Road to 2010: Addressing the nuclear question in the twenty first centuryPresented to Parliament by the Prime Minister, Cabinet Office, July, 2009http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/224864/roadto2010.pdf* Shared Responsibilities: A national security strategy for the UK (Executive Summary available)Ippr Commission on National Security in the 21st Century, June 30, 2009 http://www.ippr.org.uk/publicationsandreports/publication.asp?id=676* Experts urge government to reassess Trident decisionDeborah Summers, The Guardian, June 30, 2009http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/30/trident-nuclear-disarmamentIranUncertainty over future of P5+1 talks with IranThe continued post-election crisis in Iran has thrown the future of multilateral negotiations on Iran's nuclear program into doubt. The United States and the European Union have pledged to continue to pursue diplomatic engagement on the issue of Iran's nuclear program. Leaders at the G8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy issued a joint statement reiterating their commitment to a diplomatic solution with Iran and strongly encouraging Tehran to comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions and to cooperate with the IAEA. In an apparent reaction to the G8 focus on Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki had announced on July 13 that Tehran was preparing a political package to present to the west.On July 16, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Gholam Reza Aghazedeh, resigned. Although the reasons for the resignation are not entirely clear, Aghazedeh had been a long-time supporter of opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appointed Ali Akbar Salehi, former Iranian envoy to the IAEA, to be the new head of Iran's nuclear energy agency. In Salehi's first public announcement, he declared that the West needs to close the case on Iran's nuclear activity.Clinton's remarks on Iran spark Israeli concernSpeaking in Phuket, Thailand on July 22, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that if Iran pursues a nuclear weapons program, then the United States may extend a "defense umbrella" over allies in the Middle East, and said that "... it's unlikely that Iran will be any stronger or safer, because they won't be able to intimidate and dominate, as they apparently believe they can, once they have a nuclear weapon." Dan Meridor, Israel's minister of intelligence and atomic energy, reacted negatively to the comments, which he saw as suggesting that the United States has already accepted a nuclear-armed Iran. Clinton subsequently sought to dispel this notion, saying that she was simply reminding Iran that pursuing nuclear weapons would lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. On July 26, Clinton warned Iranian leaders that any search for a nuclear weapon capability would be futile and that Obama's administration would not allow Iran to produce its own nuclear fuel, even under safeguards. On a visit to Tel Aviv a day later, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates again reassured Israel that the United States was not about to compromise with Iran.Further Reading* U.S. Juggles Two Iran TimetablesGerald F.

In response to these recent actions and the May 25th nuclear test, the U.N. Security Council expanded its sanctions against the country. New targets of sanctions include North Korea's General Bureau of Atomic Energy, trading companies, and individuals involved in the nuclear program, associated businesses and also weapons-related materials.During her visit to Thailand for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum on July 22, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for a revival of the Six-Party Talks and urged ASEAN members to enforce the U.N. sanctions imposed against North Korea. Clinton said that the United States would be willing to offer North Korea a "comprehensive package" should it choose to denuclearize. She also mentioned concerns over the possibility that North Korea might be sharing nuclear technology with Myanmar (Burma). According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations, Sin Son Ho, said that Pyongyang would be willing to engage in direct dialogue with Washington, but rejected the possibility of agreeing to any package deals that would involve the resumption of North Korea's participation in the Six-Party Talks.Further Reading* North Korean Missiles Defy U.N.

The Bulava missile is an upgraded design of the land-based Topol M, and is designed to both survive a nuclear attack and penetrate anti-missile defense systems. Despite 6 out of 11 launches of the Bulava ending in failure, Vice Admiral Oleg Burtsev of the Russian Navy stated, "We are committed to this missile flying." Since its commissioning in 1998, a great deal of domestic political capital has been invested in the Bulava, promoted by Mr. Putin as the new core of Russia's modernized nuclear forces.The first Borey-class strategic nuclear submarine Yury Dolgoruky, designed to carry 16 Bulavas, completed its initial sea trials with more later in the year. Two more Borey class nuclear submarines, the Alexander Nevsky and the Vladimir Monomakh, are still under construction. Russia plans to have eight by 2015.Further Reading* Russian Weapon Is in Need of RescueMichael Schwirtz, The New York Times, July 15, 2009http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/16/world/europe/16missile.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=bulava&st=cse* Analysis: US, Russia have different views on nukesRobert Burns, Associated Press, July 6, 2009http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gjji-FgUACu8zwhs2JFUzNrjpN0AD9996A700* After the Reset: A Strategy and New Agenda for U.S. Russia PolicySamuel Charap, Laura Conley, Peter Juul, Andrew Light, Julian L.

Officials agreed on two sites for U.S. nuclear reactors. India will also purchase advanced U.S. conventional weapon systems, including fighter jets, raising concerns over the impact on the strategic balance with Pakistan.On July 26, India ran a sea trial of its first domestically-produced nuclear-powered submarine, capable of launching nuclear ballistic missiles. The submarine is due for at least two years of testing before becoming operational. India would become the sixth country, after the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China, to make nuclear-powered submarines.Further Reading* Obama jeopardizing nuclear deal with IndiaHarsh V.

Back in May, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmoud Qureshi, had said that France was going to agree to an arrangement like the one struck between India and the United States. However, Idrac said on July 23 during a press conference in Islamabad that France would not establish a new nuclear reactor in the country and that any aid related to nuclear energy would be for securing and enhancing the safety of Pakistan's existing nuclear sites. France did agree to provide other types of assistance, including high technology military gear and weapons, such as combat helicopters.Further Reading* The deal that wasn'tDAWN Editorial, July 25, 2009http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/pakistan/14-the-deal-that-wasnt-zj-01* Nuclear Security in Pakistan: Reducing the Risks of Nuclear TerrorismRolf Mowatt-Larssen, Arms Control Today, July/August, 2009http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2009_07-08/Mowatt-Larssen* Nuclear Security in Pakistan: Separating Myth From RealityFeroz Hassan Khan, Arms Control Today, July/August, 2009http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2009_07-08/khanMissile DefenseU.S. missile defense in Eastern European sites were seen to be a principal sticking point in START follow-on negotiations prior to the Obama-Medvedev summit on July 6. At the summit press conference, Obama stated, "I believe that it is entirely legitimate for our discussions to talk not only about offensive weapon systems but also defensive weapon systems." The United States plans to finish its review of European missile defense by the end of the summer. Obama and Medvedev agreed on a special Joint Statement on "Missile Defense Issues," which iterated their commitment to seek out ways of cooperation on dealing with ballistic missile proliferation. The statement also noted that experts are again discussing the establishment of the Joint Data Exchange Center (JDEC), a project which has languished since the initial Russian-American memorandum of 2000 on the Center's establishment.After the Obama-Medvedev summit, 22 intellectuals and former leaders of Central and Eastern Europe published an "open letter" to President Obama in the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza.

#616 Creepy crawly perp tactics

Posted by treelaw45 TI on July 28, 2009 at 8:56pm
#616 Creepy crawly perp tacticsIf you ever look up police of FBI surveillance they can work in huge teams and appear like normal people. I've read where they can have 50 or 60 people involved. I'll give you one example. Police got the brother of two x-police officers to move into my second floor apartment. Where ever I went in my apartment he went above me. It was unnerving and meant as harassment. It also showed he knew where I was at all times.I soon learned that he had other people up there with him. I had a chair hanging from the ceiling. The layout of the kitchen, dining and living room had no walls it was open so I could tell people were walking around up there even when he had left the house. The area was 26 ft by24 ft almost so I was hanging from the surface of a large drum. when I would fall asleep at night I would be woken by many people coming and going with supplies. He went on with the pretense that he was living alone, the f--n prick. This guy practically grew up at my uncles house two blocks away from where I grew up and where I had built my house.When I first noticed I thought someone had broken in. I called the police and about 20 cops showed up with guns drawn on my house. They were way over playing it to embarrass me so I would shut up about it. They let me see in the apartment and said see know one is here. But hey wouldn't let me see in the back bedroom. They were hiding them and then made me leave. About three cops were up there for another 5 minutes talking with the people up there. It is surveillance in your face.charlie Manson and his "family" used to break into homes and just crawl around getting a cheap thrill. I some how think they get off on the fact that they are deceiving us so much with coordinated groups working in tandum.We hear V2K as torment but for law enforcement they can use it to silently coordinate a surveillance. Someone could be on the other side of the wall telling all of the operatives what to do via V2K. At the same time they can be recording your heart and breathing rates to see if it is having an effect on you. they know where you are going as you make plans and they are already there when you get there. People tend to do what authorities ask of them we are taught to do this. The Jews walked right to the concentration camps and into the ovens. We have a hard time seeing a covert attack for what it is until it is to late.Creepy bastards, they have no clue how much I really know about what they were doing. This brother of two cops also had dogs rip open his trash and he had drug paraphernalia. So law enforcement is screwing with us while breaking all the laws they want. with these surveillance operations they are digging up dirt on people to hold over their heads and control them. Thank that creepy bastard Hoover who ran the FBI. We are a surveillance society.This tenant was so surprised at how much I knew that he and police wrote up a complaint that he thought I had tapped his phone line. When I evicted him the hallway outside the court room was full of police congratulating him. Sick world.Then they started up later across the street and it started all over again. the problem as my father says it is," your problem is you are to good". He has said this twice now after a few drinks. Maybe it would have been better if they caught us doing something they could have held over our heads.Peter Rosenholm

Organ Harvesting taking place in USA..mind controlling entire hospitals- University of Michigan Hospital Ann Arbor

Posted by ron on July 28, 2009 at 1:30am
DNA DATABASES are torture/Murder- NO TO CHILDREN DNA DATABASES and DNA organ matching.. TORTURE/MURDER/TREASONWilliam J Rigby hated University of Michigan. He also told me on numerous occasions liberals should be tortued, killed, murdered. Daniel J Rigby said that liberals should be organ harvested back in 1996. Daniel J Rigby said he could smoke and drink and that he would be getting a new pair of lungs and a new liver and heart. Daniel J Rigby also runs Humana Health of Illinois, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois- out of Naperville Illinois.The nurse on the streets of Ann Arbor Michigan in the Summer of 2007 told me the screams of the children were unbelievable. There may have been some form of sulfuric acid placed in the water supply.. burning childrens eyse and skin... to cause massive massive crimes against humanity. Or the children and parents were directed energy victimized. Dr. Gunn is a mind control scientist at the University of Michigan- Ann Abrbor.

Following the N.J. corruption money trail: Money laundering splintered into political probe

by The Star-Ledger Continuous News Desk

Thursday July 23, 2009, 5:21 PM

download?mid=1%5f993996%5fALrFtEQAAMtjSm3idA4Km0%2beXII&pid=2.2&fid=Sent&inline=1&stationery=1Mitsu Yasukawa/The Star-LedgerLevi Izhak Rosenbaum, who is accused of attempting to broker a $160,000 deal for a kidney donation, is taken into the back of the federal courthouse in Newark on corruption charges.

NEWARK -- What began as a federal investigation into money laundering by Syrian Jewish community leaders in New Jersey and New York two years ago spawned into a broad web of political corruption that enveloped two N.J. assemblymen and three mayors.

At the heart of the probe was the money. The politicians are accused of taking bribes. And five rabbis are accused of laundering it through their non-profit religious institutions, while keeping a cut for themselves. One Brooklyn man, who was among the 44 charged today, was even accused of trying to broker a $160,000 deal for a kidney transplant.

Full Star-Ledger coverage of the New Jersey corruption arrests

In the last two years alone, a confidential witness --identified by sources close to the investigation as millionaire real estate developer Solomon Dwek -- laundered $3 million through the rabbis, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which declined to name the witness.

"He openly discussed with targets that he was in bankruptcy and was attempting to conceal cash and assets, and told them he wanted to launder criminal proceeds in increments ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to $150,000 or more at a time, often at the rate of several transactions per week," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement announcing thecharges.

In addition to the 44 arrests, federal authorities today seized 28 bank accounts in the names of those charged with laundering money.

The key players, according to federal authorities, include Eliahu Ben Haim, of Long Branch, the rabbi for Congregation Ohel Yaacob in Deal. He is accused of taking payments as large as $160,000 made payable to his charitable, tax-exempt organization and laundering it for a 10 percent fee, authorities said.

Saul Kassin, a prominent rabbi in Brooklyn, and Edmund Nahum, the leader of a synagogue in Deal, orchestrated similar money laundering rings, according to the federal complaints. Brooklyn rabbis Mordchai Fish and his brother Lavel Schwartz were also charged with laundering money.

The money was laundered, in part, through cash houses in Brooklyn, as well as an Israeli named Levi Deutsch, who traveled frequently between New York and Israel. According to the complaint, he told the cooperating witness that his source of cash was the diamond business, and a Swiss banker.

The connection to New Jersey politics, however, came long after the initial investigation began. In June 2007, the expanding money laundering probe led the cooperating witness to be introduced to Jersey City building inspector John Guarini, who is charged with taking $40,000 in bribes from the witness, according to the federal charges.

That launched a wave of meetings where the cooperating witness bribed other officials with envelopes stuffed with cash during dinners in restaurants from Atlantic City to Staten Island, according to the complaints.

The bribes, according to federal authorities, to the key politicians included:

-- Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano $25,000
-- Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith (D-Hudson) $15,000
-- Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini $20,000 (in campaign contributions)
-- Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell $10,000
-- Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez $10,000
-- Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt (R-Ocean) $10,000

Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell led in handcuffs into FBI building

I can't believe this. Years of reading the nj.com comments and I was brainwashed into believing Newark was the problem, and that without its inner cities NJ would be a utopia of morals and law abiding citizens.

This has probably been going on for many many years, yet it took the canary Solomon Dwek to bring it to the attention of the FBI.
Why wasnt this investigated sooner? too many powerful people behind it? nobody wanted to take on the Jewish Communities in Deal & Brooklyn and Israel for that matter?

The joke is on all hard working new jersey residents.

Corruption is a given in NJ politics. A system of pay to play, favor banks and appointing friends/relatives to no show jobs with long term state funded benefits. The level of distrust of politicians is greater than I've ever seen, and I'm no youngster. The head of the FBI white collar crime unit calls us "the worst" state for corruption. Great! We're #1!!!

Wait...only $130,000 in bribes to all those pols?? That would hardly pay for one of those flashy cars parked in their Deal driveways. Must only be the wholesale price. As to the Cooperating Witness, what about his crimes and those of all the developers who have run rampant through Hudson County. Let's see the probe widen to take in the crooked builders, bankers, and NJ agencies thatlooked the other way or were just too incompetent to stop this rampant rapingof our real estate and tax dollars.

"The connection to New Jersey politics, however, came long after the initial investigation began."

In other words no one in NJ was doing a thing about the corruption. Christie and Milgram did absolutely nothing. I am tired of people portraying this as great for Christie. The truth is he was willing to let things continue because he just intended to put his people in bribe taking positions. Both Christie and Milgram continuously ignored complaints in NJ. Neither deserves credit for thework done by the Feds.

Since Peter Cammarano was sworn in, I became a curious reader of the bloggers' postings on this website by all parties. Rarely was there an exchange about this recent Mayoral election that lacked provocative and instigating commentary that often veered away from the original subject matter and context of the posted article. The central themes of the post exchanges seemed toalways lead back to adversarial and confrontational viewpoints rooted in 'us'versus 'them'. (Note these references are intentionally vague so that you maychoose to consider yourself a member of either group). What I always foundfascinating was how some of the viewpoints expressed were based in such adiscernable sense of entitlement. While it is obvious to see how those whoopposed the Cammarano contingency have these recent events to demonstrate thevalidity of their prior criticisms, what is most fascinating is the deafeningsilence from those who were the most ardent advocates of not only Cammarano butthe historical operation of govenrment that he apparently represented.
What now can be said of the man, the officials, the way that things have beenfor so long?
Could a new beginning actually be happening?
Time will tell and I believe there are many individuals who are questioning themselvesand their actions and whether or not they have reason to be concerned for theirown expectations of priviledge.

baligirl Have you even read the newspaper articles? The investigation has been in place for ten years. Christie at least has a record of 134-0 in idicting and jailing corrupt officials. He has just recently left the office as the Fed prosecutor. That connection to NJ politics came during Christies tenure. It is evident where your sympathy lies but going after campus gossipsites and mislabled footpads and Ticketmaster (which sort of petered out onceit was discovered that Corzines friends from the NJSEA may have receivedfavorable treatment) is not exactly where the 'meat' lies. Where has Milgrambeen on Encap or Xanadu or gang activity in the prisons? When will Neil Cohenactually be processed? Maybe he's ready to give up the rest of the legislature.What about pushing Codey on the Christmas tree slush fund.

Here's Corzine's response after a member of his cabinet, Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joe Doria, resigned:

"My administration will not tolerate, nor has it tolerated, the kind of public corruption
unveiled today," said Corzine, who called the charges against 44 people announced today "outrageous."

Corzine is essentially saying, "now that other people have found out about the corruption in my administration, I'm outraged!"

Hmmmm.....what about $100+ million of "special municipal aid" that was doled out through Doria and the DCA to a bunch of these towns, without any explanation of how they were chosen to receive this "aid."

Does this maybe have anything to do with the so-called MAC accounts, essentially legislator controlled slush funds, that the Corzine Administration setup with Codey, Bryant, et al.?

Corzine can save his fake outrage. At the worst, he has tolerated corruption withing his administration. At best, he has blocked ethics reform that would have prevented some of this,

Kick this bum out!

madjersyan "For those Obama bashers it was a decnt mix of dems and gop."

Actually, no it wasn't. Of the 20 elected officials who were arrested, 19 were Democrats, and just one was Republican.

To be sure, both elected Democrats and Republicans alike can be corrupted. In this case, however, it's almost 100% Democrats.

There's a reason that the FBI raided the home and Trenton office of Corzine's DCA Commissioner today. Billions of dollars of Obama's stimulus money has flowed throught he DCA. Hundreds of millions of Corzine's "special municipal aid" have flowed through the DCA.

The DCA is a department in Corzine's executive branch that he directly controls. This corruption directly touches Jon Corzine.

#609 Why the Medical Communitee is Participating

Posted by treelaw45 TI on July 27, 2009 at 12:38am
#609 Why the Medical Communitee is ParticipatingI understand that doctors are cooperating and know a lot more than we think. I think they are lied to, mislead and did read something about laws on the war on terrorism or the, "Patriot Act". where doctors must conform with new laws and guide lines. they now cannot look at a patient as, "do no harm anymore", as the oath they have taken.what I read sated if they did not comply with these new laws that their license to practice medicine and their property can be seized. in essence they can be totally destroyed. I have been tortured and totally destroyed for attempting the go to a hospital to gain medical evidence. medical records were altered and like you the correct testing was denied or ignored. I would consider the medical community as also being under attack.One doctor confided in me that the prices he could charge were ridiculously low and regulated. He further said that the board of who ever that runs and over sees the operation of the hospital were politically appointed and weren't even doctors. He implied that they were organized crime much like the governor who was trying to sell president Obama's Senate seat had his wife sceaming in the back ground as they were negotiating for a politically appointed job for her. I don't believe she has any qualification other than her father was in politics and had taught her the political game. These jobs come with a huge pay, benefits and retirement. these people also owe there allegiance to the people who put them in power like who to hire, fire and what companies to purchase supplies from at twice the going price.This is happening to all supposedly non profit organizations, hospitals, Universities, Mental hospitals, commissions that determine the going price for utilities like, telephone, electric gas, cable all are monopolies and regulated.It reminds me of the communist party members in Russia and China. Like Russia in the end the communist party had all the good jobs, lived in the modern cities, where the best doctors were and lived in the best apartment and had summer homes. the store shelves were stocked while other took there pay to stores outside of the city where the shelves were empty. Welcome to the new elite and communist party members that are taking control of every aspect of our society. Passing more laws all the time that appear to be helpful but are meant to take further control.Luckily when I was rushed to the hospital with what seemed like a heart attack that was probably induced by directed energy weapons two women came into my room to tell me I was being drugged to death. Doctors never said a word. Why when they obviously new I was on far above the maximum dose of multiple medicines to cause harm. I think because they are under a similar control as we are.No wonder I had to sign a document stating that I couldn't join the CIA when I took a course in the philosophy of communism. not because I would become a communist but because I would see the sign of it's implementation in the US.Peter Rosenholm

MORET: Yes, and that’s exactly what it is. We’ve conducted four nuclear wars since 1991. Yeah, these are nuclear wars. DU is a nuclear weapon.

ICONOCLAST: From the point of view of a scientist, what needs to happen to correct this?

MORET: Well, we need to stop the use of it. We’ve built an international movement to stop the use, the manufacture, the storage, the sales, and the deployment ofdepleted uranium weapons.

ICONOCLAST: Are the munitions we sell to other countries contained with depleted uranium?

MORET: We have. In 1968 the first depleted uranium weapons systems that we found a patent for suddenly appeared in the U.S. patent office.

It was for the Navy.

It was sort of a Gatling gun style weapon system that you mounted on ships.

It rapidly fires like 2,500 bullets a minute.

It’s over 3,000 now.

They’ve improved the design.

Then in 1973, we gave depleted uranium weapons systems to the Israelis and supervised their use. They used them in the Arab-Israeli war and completely wiped out the Arabs in five days. Then the show was on theroad. That was the first actual battlefield demonstration of this newweapon system.

Hughes Aircraft developed the full-length system which is for the Navy. That’s the Gatling gun system. They still use it. That was produced in 1974 and tested. Within six months the U.S. government had sold the DUweapons system to 12 entities which included many branches of the U.S.military and other counties.

We’ve sold DU weapons systems to about — we don’t know exactly for sure — it’s been about 12 or 17 countries.

The good news is that normally such a weapons system that effective would have been sold to 80, 100, or 120 countries by now.

But because of the radiological, biological, and environmental hazard, countries were not only afraid to buy it, the ones who did buy it are afraid to use it.

Peace.
http://www.zlocinac.org/du_effects/

Only countries that have used DU as weapon are Britain, the U.S., and Israel

The only countries we know that have used DU are Britain, the U.S., and Israel.

The United Nations in 1996 passed a resolution that depleted uranium weapons are weapons of mass destruction, and they are illegal under all international laws and treaties.

In 2001, the European Parliament passed a resolution on DU.

What happened is that the NATO forces went into Yugoslavia in 1998 and ’99 and flew 39,000 bombing runs and completely bombed Yugoslavia into radioactive rubble.

Germany and the U.S. made the most money on the destruction of Yugoslavia, and they made sure that countries that didn’t know about the DU, that the peacekeepers from those countries like from Italy and Portugal, were sent to the mostcontaminated regions in Yugoslavia.

Oregon soldiers sue KBR for exposure tocancer-causing chemical in Iraq

by Julie Sullivan, The Oregonian

Monday June 08, 2009, 7:13 PM

Five current and former Oregon Army National Guard soldiers filed suit Monday against a war contractor that they say knowingly exposed them to a cancer-causing chemical in Iraq.

The suit alleges that managers from Kellogg, Brown & Root, or KBR, of Houston knew before the Oregon Guard arrived at the Qarmat Ali water treatment plant in May 2003 that the site was contaminated by hexavalent chromium, a highly toxic and long-identified carcinogen.

The plaintiffs allege the company either failed to do the required testing a month before the Guard arrived or destroyed the records to conceal the contamination. KBR also discounted soldiers' and civilians' bloody noses and other symptoms of exposure as sand allergies.

The Oregon Guard had been assigned to protect civilian employees working at the treatment plant, a key component of Iraqi oil production.

In a written statement Monday, KBR director of communications Heather L. Browne said the company appropriately notified the Army Corps of Engineers, which oversaw the contractor's work.

"KBR has provided the results of environmental testing and assessments to the U.S. Military and will continue to fully cooperate with the government on this issue," she wrote. "KBR did not knowingly harm troops."

According to the suit filed in U.S. District Court in Portland, KBR's health safety manager in southern Iraq knew in May 2003 the plant was contaminated with sodium dichromate, a corrosion fighter that is almost pure hexavalent chromium. (The military believes Saddam loyalists opened and scattered bags ofit as they fled the plant.) Plaintiffs allege that KBR managers repeatedly toldU.S. and British soldiers there was no danger, even after blood tests oncivilian workers later confirmed elevated chromium levels.

The suit says the five plaintiffs developed symptoms of hexavalent chromium poisoning and continue to suffer breathing problems, stomach and esophageal ulcers and headaches, and face a greater risk of cancer and impact on their offspring. The Oregon troops served with the 1st Battalion, 162ndInfantry Division that rotated through duties guarding civilians at Qarmat Alifrom April to June 2003.

Four of the plaintiffs -- Larry Roberta, of Aumsville, Scott Ashby of Lake Oswego. Rocky Bixby of Hillsboro and Matthew Hadley of Aloha -- completed their Guard obligation and are civilians. Capt. Charles Ellis of Junction City remains with the Guard and is deploying to Iraq with the 41st Infantry Brigade in July.

Last month, Roberta and Ashby testified before the Oregon Legislature, which is considering a bill to set up a small fund to help exposed soldiers who develop cancer.

Attorneys for the soldiers, David Sugerman of Portland and Michael Doyle of Houston, said they expect several West Virginia National Guard members who served at the Iraqi water plant to file a similar suit. Last year, 16 Indiana National Guard members who replaced the Oregon troops at Qarmat Ali and10 civilian contractors who worked at the facility also sued KBR. Under federalrules, civilians working on military bases are limited in their ability to sueemployers, and that case has been in a confidential arbitration.

Since news coverage by The Oregonian in January, more than two dozen Oregon veterans have asked to be placed on a registry and more than a dozen have reported health issues to the National Guard or VA, mostly breathing problems.

The Oregon Army National Guard is still asking soldiers who may have served with the 1-162 to contact the Guard at 503-584-2285 or the Portland Veterans Administration at 800-949-1004, ext. 52852, for more information on registering their exposure.

helpful hints for those who are remote neural monitored

Posted by jody havluck (dee) on July 23, 2009 at 9:30pm
What to do if you're being remotely neurally monitored by an operative gone bad..Here are a few helpful things that popped into my head that I figured I would share, should a similar experience occur with anyone else.1. One way to tell if this is happening to you is if you suddenly start hearing voices that weren't there the day before. They may sound like they're in the next room, the next apartment, or somewhere in the vicinity.2. Start to observe the patterns of the dialogue, the frequency of certain words and phrases, and any emotions, intentions, and "keywords and keyphrases" that you may say that trigger certain responses.3. KEEP A LEVEL HEAD! This is extremely important. Realize that you are involved with technology that no one is aware of and in the mainstream outside world, you may very well be mistaken for crazy. Also keep in mind that their techniques are designed to make you seem crazy.4. Manage your mind. Mindfully and consciously discern what's appropiate thought, dialogue and behavior for your well being in the outside world and what's not. Make a conscious effort to never let the two worlds intertwine.5. Observe the dialogue. Listen, without putting any stock into the validity of the words being said to what the team of operatives or whoever may be saying. The objective for this is mostly to try to gather as much information on the violators as possible. Gather as much data as you can think of. Make notes so you can remember.6. Publicize. The more that you tell the world about your attack, the less power and control they have over you. They will not be able to harm you as easily as if you kept this to yourself. Publicize and talk about it in a manner that is intelligent, clear, concise, and level headed. Be willing to consider psychological evaluation and open to all possibilities. Do not act irate. Process your thoughts in an orderly and stable manner and present the situation to people in the same manner. Keep internet records of what's going on and find out if the authorities (your local police dept.,FBI, CIA, NSA, etc) are open to what you are saying. Send them a level-headed email so they will have your situation on record.7. Give your important account information (banks, bills, etc) to someone you trust and have them change all passwords, security questions, etc for you, without you knowing the passwords, etc. Have them temporarily conduct business for you until the situation is over. Operatives gone bad can possibly be making money in the identity theft business and can easily extract all of your personal information through your own eyes.1. Notice thoughts and ideas that are out of character. DISREGARD ANY THOUGHT OR IDEA IN YOUR HEAD THAT ISN'T YOURS!!2. NEVER obey a command or request by voices in your head. Such things are intent on becoming your undoing and should be ignored.3. Eliminate fear. Getting hysterical, fearful, or expressing any kind of high spirited emotion is what they want you to do. Do not be intimidated by your unusual circumstance. Understand that this kind of harassment is not uncommon and start taking pragmatic, rational measures to conduct yourself accordingly. They get into your head with voices because they don't want to do anything physically. Don't let words destroy you.4. Educate yourself! Read and learn as much as possible about the processes and techniques being used upon you. There is plenty of reading material within the links on this site. The more you know and understand about what's been done to you, the less effective they will be.5. Keep a sense of humor. Although circumstances may seem dark and threatening, fear and stress will get you absolutely nowhere. Stay light-hearted. Even make jokes about your situation. This will keep your mind healthy and give you a better perspective on what you're dealing with and how to live your life.6. Replace the voices in your head with activity. Listening often to music, watching television, socializing, working and staying active will often drown out the noise in your head and render them less effective.7. BECOME VERY SOCIAL!!! It's very important that you realize that these people are intent on isolating you from others, so that they can do whatever they want to you. Make a strong concerted effort to create, build, and/or maintain good healthy relationships with friends, neighbors, partners, aquaintances, co-workers and others, so that they wont get the chance to do anything to you. Don't let them sucker you into fake romantic ideals and other tactics that they may use to keep you from actually being with real people.Copy this and spread the word. I hope I've been of some help.

This treaty is good for America, good for people with disabilities, and good for the world," says Marca Bristo, President of USICD. "By signing this treaty the US is reaffirming its commitment to basic human rights of all people with disabilities and positioning us to better contribute our expertise on the global level."The President's signature indicates the country's interest in joining this treaty and begins a process in which the Senate will review and provide advice and consent for ratification."It is fitting for President Obama to sign the CRPD this week, in commemoration of the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)," says former Representative Tony Coehlo, co-author of the ADA, and USICD board member. "When we passed the ADA, we did not imagine the impact it would have around the world by inspiring an international treaty."The drafting process was notable for the inclusion of people with disabilities on official delegations and as participants in advocacy groups with a rallying slogan of "Nothing about us, without us.""This treaty reflects the unique insights of disabled people from around the world. The participation of disabled people in decision-making about policies affecting our lives is changing the way we are regarded in our communities and by our governments," says Judy Heumann, former Clinton Administration appointee, board member of USICD, and participant in the negotiations to draft the treaty.The United Nations estimates that there are 650 million people with disabilities globally. The CRPD addresses barriers that impede the full participation of people with disabilities in their communities on all aspects of daily life. The treaty enhances opportunities for community access, employment and entrepreneurship, international exchange, and the attainment of an adequate standard of living for all individuals, children and families affected by disability.The United States International Council on Disabilities (USICD) is a federation of US-based non-governmental organizations, government agencies, and individuals committed to international disability concerns."This is a historic day in the movement for full equality, access, and inclusion of people with disabilities in America," says David Morrissey, Executive Director of USICD. "A broad coalition of Americans with and without disabilities have called for our country to sign this treaty."www.usicd.orgSOURCE United States International Council on DisabilitiesLink to this page:Link to this pageBack to Top back to topRelated Links:# http://www.usicd.orgwww.technorati.com Blogs Linking to this News Release at TechnoratiIssuers of news releases and not PR Newswire are solely responsible for the accuracy of the content.Terms and conditions, including restrictions on redistribution, apply.Copyright © 1996-2009 PR Newswire Association LLC.

Convention ResourcesThe United States International Council on Disabilities (USICD) is a federation of US-based non-governmental organizations, federal agencies and individuals committed to advocacy and action on behalf of the global disability rights agenda. Because of its unique structure, USICD’s core strength is its membership. Through its vast network of disabled people’s organizations and other NGO stakeholders, government members and individual advocates, USICD has the advocacy reach and political leverage to impact critical emerging issues both in the United States and internationally. The technical assistance resources our members bring to the table collectively are unmatched by those of any single group. USICD’s Board of Directors includes the most recognized leaders in the American disability rights movement, providing a wealth of experience and strategic guidance to USICD’s mission.We are at a very exciting time in the history of disability rights internationally. We are witnessing daily the dramatic advances being made on disability and human rights at the global level. USICD’s purpose is to catalyze and help focus the energy, expertise and resources of the US disability community and the US government to respond effectively to international issues and opportunities as they emerge. Through our policy, advocacy, and technical assistance efforts, we have to potential to improve the lives and circumstances of millions of people with disabilities worldwide. Find information about how to join USICD and become involved in the work we are doing.History and Current Areas of FocusFounded in 1988 as the United States Council for International Rehabilitation, the original purpose of the organization was to serve as the United States’ member of Rehabilitation International (RI). USICD continues to play this important role, and now also represents the US in Disabled People’s International (DPI). RI and DPI are the largest global cross-disability organizations in the world and each has been granted official consultative status by the United Nations. As the only US representative within these organizations, USICD serves as a gateway between the American disability community and the global networks of RI and DPI, bringing the US perspective and the American disability rights experience to the international disability movement and facilitating information exchange, advocacy support and technical assistance.While its original function as international representative and ambassador remains a crucial element of the organization’s mission, USICD’s scope has grown and evolved considerably since it was formed for that particular purpose. Over the past decade, USICD has become the key convener and coordinator of the American disability community on US-based advocacy and policy initiatives on a range of international disability issues. USICD has led efforts to develop and implement an official disability policy within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and to promote inclusive policies, practices and programs within the US State Department. These two federal agencies are responsible for the vast majority of US foreign assistance, post-conflict reconstruction and other international development work. Their historic lack of attention to disability issues means that billions of American dollars have been spent abroad in ways that fail to apply accessibility and inclusion standards defined in our domestic disability protections. USICD is working with Congress and decision-makers across the US government to ensure that all future efforts are fully accessible and inclusive of people with disabilities. USICD was also key advocate in the United States during the recent United Nations (UN) process of drafting a new global human rights treaty: the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.Now that the Convention is open for State signature and ratification, USICD continues to serve as the key convener within the United States as the American disability community advocates for our nation to ratify and implement this important treaty.

This grant will support expanded grantmaking in 2009 to disabled persons’ organizations (DPOs) in the Global South.“With the present economic downturn, this donation is an incredible message of support,” stated DRF’s Director Diana Samarasan. “It underscores the commitment of the British government to a rights-based approach to disability.”Utilizing the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CPRD), DRF supports the human rights advocacy of DPOs in the Global South and Eastern Europe/former Soviet Union. Through its unique governance structure, the Fund is a partnership between donors and the worldwide disability community. A global advisory panel provides recommendations on grantmaking strategies; and panel representatives also serve on the Fund’s grantmaking decision body together with donors. Panel members come from five continents and reflect a broad cross-section of the disability community,DFID representatives stated, “it is essential that efforts like the Disability Rights Fund continue their support of communities often unreached by more conventional development efforts. DRF represents a unique model of supporting community-led efforts to institute rights.”DRF’s first grants decisions, announced in November 2008, resulted in a total of $800,000 in grants to 33 organizations in seven countries. Grantees include a Ugandan organization of lawyers with disabilities, an emergent Peruvian group of people with psycho-social disabilities, and a grassroots network in Bangladesh of women-led disabled persons’ organizations. For a full list of grantees and more information about DRF, see www.disabilityrightsfund.org.Other donors to DRF include: an anonymous founding donor, The Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Open Society Institute, and the American Jewish World Service.####Readers who have not already done so may wish to explore see the resource section of the Disability Rights Fund website for an extensive collection of resources related to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD); fund raising sources; and toolkits that can help organizations learn how to raise funds more effectively.Topics: News | No Comments »How Was the CRPD Born?

This is the second in the series of the monitoring reports for NSPD and it includes the progress made during 2005-2007 by focusing on the status of progress in 2007.Participants in the Conference Deputy Prime Minister, Genc Pollo, Minister of Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, Anastas Duro, USAID Mission Director, Roberta Mahoney, Executive Director of the Albanian Disability Rights Foundation, Blerta Cani, and other representatives from governmental and nongovernmental institutions who spoke in the Conference presented facts and findings that came out in the monitoring process.The data for the monitoring report were mainly collected through six-region surveys with participants from Tirane, Shkoder, Durres, Vlore, Elbasan and Korce. The survey was conducted with participation of 113 government officials at the central, regional and local level, who provided official information on the status of progress on the measure assigned to their office, as well as representatives of four national disability nongovernmental organizations. 954 participant’s people with disabilities and family members from the same six regions were also asked to evaluate the situation in the country in regards to the five areas of the National Action Plan – Accessibility, Services(Health care and Social Services); Education, Employment and Vocational Training, Capacity Building and Legislation through a quantitative-qualitative survey.The Report acknowledges the increased awareness of the Albanian Government, its engagement in taking more responsibilities for improvement of disability legal and policy framework in Albania.Still, findings from the monitoring process revealed unrealized tasks in all the five areas of the action plan of the National Strategy on People with Disability. An analysis of all the findings revealed that there has been no progress at all in 41% of the total measures, only two measures have been completed on schedule, this means that the implementation has been delayed for 98% of the measures the National Action Plan.As a consequence, half of people with disabilities and their families participating in the survey (51.8%) consider their financial situation to be poor; the communities where people with disabilities live continue to be inaccessible to them, 4,534 children with special needs between ages of 6-18 do not receive any form of education; People with disabilities and their family members gave opportunities for employment and vocational training a failing grade. The participants strongly believe that they are not considered as equal partners in the relevant decision making process at the local, regional and central level. They believe that majority of 102,945 officially recognized people with disabilities, are not treated as equal citizens, and they are discriminated against in many fields of life.The NSPD was written to address the most basic needs of people with disabilities in Albania. The failure of the state agencies to realize the tasks according to the scheduled timelines indicates that work to promote awareness and accountability needs to be enhanced at all levels.Constant monitoring of the national disability strategy by civil society tends to hold the Albanian government accountable, increase the responsibility and engagement of responsible governmental and non-governmental agencies to place disability in the agenda of the reforms, by challenging exclusion and promoting an all inclusive society.Efforts of ADRF to monitor implementation of the National Strategy for People with Disability were enabled through financial support of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the program of “Promoting the Human Rights for people with Disability in Albania.Albanian Disability Rights Foundation is an Albanian non-governmental organization that has advocated for the human rights and people with disabilities since 1996. The ADRF empowers individuals with disabilities and their family member, provides technical and policy-level advice regarding human rights, and raises public awareness concerning disabilities.For further information you may contact:Blerta CaniTel: + 355 4 2269 426e-mail: adrf@albmail.comwww.adrf.org.alLearn more about the CRPD and also about the accompanying Optional Protocol.Learn how you can become involved with the global campaign to promote the ratification and implementation of both the CRPD and the Optional Protocol in your country and elsewhere.Topics: Disability Rights -- General | No Comments »Funding Opportunity for CRPD AdvocacyBy Andrea Shettle, MSW | February 7, 2009Are you a disability rights advocate working in a developing country? Is your organization trying to persuade your country’s government to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)? Or, has your country already ratified the CRPD–and you are now working on making sure the CRPD is fully implemented, so that all people with disabilities in your country have their rights respected and protected? Do you need funding support?The grantmaking foundation, Open Society Institute, has now established the Disability Rights Initiative that supports the efforts of disability rights advocates working on ratification and implementation of the CRPD around the world. The initiative gives priority to efforts promoting the rights of people with intellectual and psycho-social disabilities. However, OSI is willing to support a range of programs and projects that advance the CRPD.Learn more detail about this funding opportunity and how to apply for it at:http://www.soros.org/initiatives/special/focus/disability/grantsThis is an on-going funding opportunity.Advocates working on issues related to implementing the CRPD in developing countries will also want to keep checking the Disability Rights Fund web site for announcements of future, additional funding opportunities there.

But the task of looking up exactly what laws, constitutions, and international treaties say about people with disabilities around the world has become a little easier in the past few years. This will be a help for people working to help countries implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Countries that ratify the CRPD must make their laws consistent with the human rights protections it provides to people with disabilities.One more resource has been launched: The Syracuse University College of Law Disability Law and Policy Program, in conjunction with the H. Douglas Barclay Law Library, has developed a comprehensive bibliographic web resource on International and Comparative Disability Law. This resource is available at:http://www.law.syr.edu/lawlibrary/electronic/humanrights.aspxPeople interested in issues related to disability, laws, and policies in general can find more relevant resources at the new collection of resource links at the Disability Rights Fund web site:http://www.disabilityrightsfund.org/resources-reports.html#global_lawsAlso see an article at the We Can Do blog on the topic of researching laws, regulations, judicial decisions, and legal case summaries related to people with disabilities around the world: RESOURCES: Finding Disability-Related Laws and Policies.A slightly modified version of this article has also been posted at the We Can Do blog.Learn more about the CRPD and also about the accompanying Optional Protocol.Learn how you can become involved with the global campaign to promote the ratification and implementation of both the CRPD and the Optional Protocol in your country and elsewhere.Topics: Disability Rights -- General | No Comments »Disabled People in China Continue to Face DiscriminationBy Andrea Shettle, MSW | January 24, 2009China has made progress in confronting discrimination toward people with disabilities–but significant problems remain, Human Rights Watch recently told the media. Human Rights Watch is a major international organization that monitors the status of human rights around the world.Sophie Richardson, a representative of Human Rights Watch, praised China for creating laws that protect people with disabilities and for ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). But the Human Rights Watch website reports her as saying, “So far these protections have meant little to persons with disabilities and their advocates in China who struggle to promote their rights and, in particular, to fairly compete for employment.”Also according to the Human Rights Watch website, their organization has called upon the Chinese government to ratify the Optional Protocol that accompanies the CRPD. The Optional Protocol can help strengthen the CRPD by giving citizens the option of pursuing justice at the international level if they are unable to address human rights abuses domestically. The Human Rights Watch also has called on China to remove restrictions that make it harder for grassroots organizations to help people with disabilities.Read the full story on what Human Rights Watch says about the human rights situation for people with disabilities in China at:http://hrw.org/english/docs/2008/09/04/china19751.htmLearn more about the CRPD by reading the RatifyNow FAQ; or learn more about the Optional Protocol.Learn how you can become involved with the global campaign to promote the ratification and implementation of both the CRPD and the Optional Protocol in your country and elsewhere.A slightly modified version of this article also has been posted at the We Can Do blog.Topics: Disability Rights -- General | No Comments »Disability Rights Fund Makes Grants to 33 OrganizationsBy Andrea Shettle, MSW | January 21, 2009PRESS RELEASEDisability Rights Fund Makes Grants to 33 Organizations in 7 CountriesNovember 3, 2008FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEBOSTON, MA – The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) – a groundbreaking collaborative to support the human rights of people with disabilities around the world– today announced funding decisions from its first request for proposals. A total of $800,000 will be gifted to 33 organizations in seven countries. The grants will support work to raise awareness about the rights of people with disabilities, build coalitions and networks, and develop advocacy and monitoring activities, in connection with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.DRF grantees share the goal of advancing the rights of people with disabilities at the country-level.

DRF Director, Diana Samarasan, added “It is an auspicious day to put money in the hands of organizations run by people with disabilities. The first Conference of States Parties to the Convention is being held at the UN; the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is being elected. The work of translating the Convention from paper to practice is before us.”Grantees were selected after a rigorous review process which included review by DRF’s Steering Committee, a committee composed of donor representatives and people with disabilities from the Global South.DRF’s donors include: an anonymous founding donor, The Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Open Society Institute, the UK’s Department for International Development, and the American Jewish World Service.A grantee list can be requested from DRF by writing to dsamarasan@disabilityrightsfund.org.

And foundations that specialize in supporting DPOs are hard to find. That can make it a challenge to find funding support for projects related to implementing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).Often, the answer is to look for funding from foundations that do not necessarily advertise themselves as having a disability focus. But if the funder has limited prior experience with supporting projects run by DPOs, or otherwise targeted at the disability community, then your worry becomes, How do you convince them that your project is exactly the kind of project they’re seeking to support? How do you overcome any misconceptions they might have about the true needs of people with disabilities or their relevance to the kinds of projects they normally support?Fundseekers wrestling with these kinds of questions can turn to a 2-page handout from the Disability Funders Network entitled “Bridging the Knowledge Gap: Working with Foundations to Attract Disability Funding” (PDF format, 110 Kb) for some of their answers.This guide is targeted at DPOs in the United States, but many of the broad principles are applicable anywhere. For example, some foundations support projects targeted at “diverse” or “vulnerable” communities. This means it can be helpful to make the case for why disability fits in perfectly with their desire to be supportive of diversity. Also, foundations usually value demographic statistics about the community that a project is meant to support. (For example, how many people with disabilities are there in the area where you want to do your project?)Download the handout for yourself at:http://www.disabilityfunders.org/system/files/attractdisfund.pdfAnd also be sure to read Disability Funder’s “Recommendations for Grantseekers“; some of the advice is similar, but with added nuances.Having trouble finding the statistics you need to write a stronger grant proposal? Browse some articles listed under “Tips and Leads for how to find more Academic Research, Papers, and Statistics.” Some of the linked articles may help point you to sources for various kinds of data, research, and other documented information.Looking for more resources related to fund raising?

MORE INFORMATION ON THE FIRST DECADEThe African Union declared the first decade of the new millennium (1999-2009) as the African Decade for Persons with Disabilities. In 2001 the African Union’s Labour and Social Affairs Commission along with its African Rehabilitation Institute (ARI) and the ILO held a meeting in Addis Ababa. In this meeting they designed a Continental Plan of Action (CPOA) to guide the member states of the African Union on how to implement the African Decade. The adoption of the African Decade of Disabled Persons (ADDP) placed responsibility on African States to implement Decade Programme activities.With this declaration, the African Union adopted a Continental Plan of Action (CPOA) with twelve objectives that African States were to implement over the period.The twelve objectives cover a wide range of themes that are of critical importance to improvement in the lives of persons with disabilities in Africa. These themes include ideas and strategies to:1. Formulate and implement national policies, programmes and legislation to promote the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities.2. Promote the participation of persons with disabilities in the process of economic and social development3. Promote the self-representation of people with disabilities in all public decision-making structures.4. To enhance support services for disabled persons.5. Promote special measures for children, youth, women and elderly persons with disabilities.6. Ensure and improve access to rehabilitation, education, training, employment, sports, the cultural and physical environment.7. To promote and protect disability rights as human rights8. To support the development of and strengthen Disabled Persons’ Organizations9.

Is there a role for people with disabilities in mainstream human rights projects? How and why should people with disabilities be included in human rights campaigns that focus on other population groups such as women, ethnic minorities, or the poor? How can including people with disabilities help everyone in achieving human rights goals for all population groups? What role can grassroots organizations, and the funders that support them, play in this process? In short: why should mainstream funders share an interest in funding projects related to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)?Organizations and grantmakers can both consult a pair of brochures that explain how and why non-governmental organizations and funders can and should take disability into account when planning or funding mainstream international human rights programs.

We can be sure that as many people as possible know about these horrendous crimes.B. We can be sure that these AUTHORITIES and ORGANISATIONS are either trying to uphold the rule of National, International and Human Rights Law, and that we will, sooner or later, be protected by these laws.C. Or that we can be sure these AUTHORITIES and ORGANISATIONS are complicit and/or acquiescent to these CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY and that National, International and Human Rights Law no longer apply - in which case our task will be to get the rule of these laws restored.Later these records should become an information source - such as the INTERNATIONAL TRACING OFFICE set up to record the fates and whereabouts of Jews (and others?) after WW11. The information collected can then be used by the appropriate people for LEGAL, MEDICAL, WELFARE, HISTORICAL etc. records.As well as being illegal the crimes being committed against us are contrary to the Principles and Values of all the major religions and ethical systems - so we will also be demonstrating to all of these people and AUTHORITIES AND ORGANISATIONS the huge disconnect between their professed Principles and Values and the reality. We will be showing their monstrous Doublespeak Doublethink Doubledo ignorance, stupidity and/or hypocrisy.It is our responsibility to record and alert the world to these horrendous crimes - and the extreme danger that these technologies, powers and tendencies pose to human rights, liberty, democracy, privacy and the mental and physical freedom, individuality, integrity, health and growth of all people – in all their “infinite?” richness, degrees, dimensions, aspects, qualities and diversity!Make no mistake these are the most horrendous totalitarian weapons and crimes imaginable and the people and organizations using them are mass-murdering conspirators pursuing totalitarian fundamentalist schemes.Beware of the brain and gene phrenologists/determinists/reductionists, and those who seek to control and reduce the range, quality and diversity of human thoughts, imaginations, senses, sensibilities, moods, attitudes, speech and psycho-physiologies – the would-be socio-economic, cultural AND PSYCHOLOGICAL/INTELLECTUAL/ PHYSIOLOGICAL monopolists, monoculturalists, police and prosecutors who are already literally and physically actively at work amongst us!! Both monstrously and criminally, and also far more insidiously.And beware of this dumbing-down, disenfranchisement, degradation and monoculturalisation caused by the paucity and total degradation of public information and discourse, and the subsequent and consequent destruction of previously autonomous cultures, professions, fields of human endeavour, memories, and intelligences.NOT TO MENTION THE NUTCASES PURSUING SUCH FRANKENSTEIN-SCIENCES AS THE TRANSGENIC, AND THE “BLENDING” OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL– EVEN AS RECORD BIODIVERSITY AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY DESTRUCTION IS DONE.It is no exaggeration to say our cases are as horrendous and urgent as people fleeing Nazi or Pol Pot concentration camps – specifically Dr Mengele-type butchers.We urgently need access to SAFE HOUSES to get protection from the directed energy and neurological weapons being used to torture, mutilate and kill US.Such SAFE HOUSES are available in Laboratories, Hospitals and Scientific/Military Facilities.PLEASE ASSIST US URGENTLY!!!PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER INFORMATION:-Yours in the search for openness and respect for universal human rightsJohn FinchMAIL: 5/8 Kemp St, Thornbury, Vic 3071, Australia, TEL: 0424009627EMAIL: tijohnfinch@gmail.com , MCmailteam@gmail.comTARGETED INDIVIDUAL and a member of THE WORLDWIDE CAMPAIGN AGAINST TORTURE, DEGRADATION AND MUTILATION USING DIRECTED ENERGY AND NEUROLOGICAL WEAPONS

Massive pain, humanitarians and not being alone

Posted by SheriGrutz on July 22, 2009 at 11:44pm
The pain to the head is thunderous, to the very top of my head and my hand burns over the site. I'm terribly ill-fitted for this world in this condition, though I've decided to spend not so much time alone. A male friend of mine suggested this to me, as a way of helping my mental condition, to be around others, to not isolate. I'm still sending emails ever so often to human rights orgs., and this is my only form of activism. It is my strong belief that we need these people to represent us as a disadvantaged group who suffer and remain kept in the shadows. I'm not looking for government to help at all. I'm frightened many times during the awful pain, very paranoid over every sound around me. I'm uncertain how long this will go on, but I wonder about death coming.

The WHO has refused to release the Minutes of a key meeting of an advisory vaccine group – packed with executives from Baxter, Novartis and Sanofi – that recommended compulsory vaccinations in the USA, Europe and other countries against the artificial H1N1 “swine flu” virus this autumn.

In an email this morning, a WHO spokesperson claimed there are no Minutes of the meeting that took place on July 7th in which guidelines on the need for worldwide vaccinations that WH0 adopted this Monday were formulated and in which Baxter and other pharma executives participated.

Under the International Health Regulations, WHO guidelines have a binding character on all of WHO’s 194 signatory countries in the event of a pandemic emergency of the kind anticipated this autumn when the second more lethal wave of the H1N1 virus — which is bioengineeredto resemble the Spanish flu virus — emerges.

In short: WHO has the authority to force everyone in those 194 countries to take a vaccine this fall at gunpoint, impose quarantines and restrict travel.

There is verifiable, clear and unambiguous proof that WHO supplied the live bird flu virus to Baxter’s subsidiary in Austria, which was used by Baxter to manufacture 72 kilos of vaccine material in Febuary.

Baxter subsequently sent this material out to 16 labs in four countries under a false label designating the contaminated product as vaccine material, so nearly triggering a global pandemic.

Because Baxter must adhere to strict biosafety level 3 regulations when handling a dangerus virus such as the bird flu virus, the production and distribution of so much pandemic material cannot have been an accident but must have been done by Baxter with criminal intent.

The Austrian police are now investigating after I filed criminal charges in April.

It is increasingly clear that WHO and Baxter are just elements in a much bigger criminal organisation that is moving forward in a synchronised and coordinated way to fulfil the “elite” agenda of global population reduction in the coming months and years whileputting in place a global government of which WHO will be an arm.

WHO, a UN agency, appears to play a key role in coordinating the activities of labs, vaccine companies and governments to achieve the goal of population reduction and political and economic take over of North America and Europe:

- First, WHO gives funds, support and cover to labs such as the CDC to bioprospect for pathogens, bioengineer them to make them more deadly, and also patent them.

- Second, WHO gives those same deadly bioengineered pathogens to companies such as Baxter in Austria, so that Baxter could use those viruses to deliberately, systematically contaminate vaccine material. If the contamination of the 72 kilos had not beendetection on time by a lab technician in the Czech Republic, millionsof people would have caught the “bird flu” from the injections.

- Third, in the event of a pandemic, WHO orders a compulsory vaccines for all 194 countries, following “recommendations” by an advisory vaccine group on which executives of Baxter also sit.

- Fourth, WHO awards Baxter, Novartis, Sanofi and other companies lucrative contracts to supply those vaccines.

Furthermore, WHO acquires new global authority on an unseen scale in the event of a pandemic.

Under special pandemic plans enacted around the world including the USA, in 2005, national governments are to be dissolved in the event of a pandemic emergency and replaced by special crisis committees, which take charge of the health and security infrastructureof a country, and which are answerable to the WHO and EU in Europe andto the WHO and UN in North America.

If the Model Emergency Health Powers Act is implemented on the instructions of WHI, it will be a criminal offence for Americans to refuse the vaccine. Police are allowed to use deadly force against “criminal” suspects.

Through their control of these special pandemic crisis committees with the power to enact legislation to be set up most countries, the WHO, UN and EU become the de facto government of a large part of the world.

Mass murder and death will also bring economic collapse and disruption, starvation and wars – and these events will lead to a further population reduction.

To sum up: WHO helps create, distribute and then release the deadly pandemic virus, and this pandemic virus allows WHO to assume control of governments in North America and Europe and also order forced vaccination on populations by the very same companies that havedistributed and released the deadly viruses in the first place and allunder under the pretext of protecting populations from a pandemic theyhave created.

The corporate mainstream media owned by the same “elite” group which funds WHO is systematically concealing from the general public the nature of the real danger of these H1N1 jabs by withholding from them key information concerning the interrelated activities of this group of organisations for their mutual profit.

As a result, most people still believe that the H1N1 virus is a natural swine flu when even WHO has officially dropped the term “swine” in tactic acknowledgement of its artificial origin.

Most people still believe the vaccine companies can deliver a cure when the vaccine companies are preparing a lethal series of shots containg live attenuated virus, toxic metals and other poisons.

The two-dose H1N1 shots are designed to disable the immune system and then load that system with a live virus in a process that mirrors the one described in two of WHO’s 1972 memoranda where the technical means for turning vaccines into killers is outlined.

The Strecker Memorandum also reveals that WHO has been actively searching for ways to weaken the immune system.

The best protection against the H1N1 virus that has now been released and that will inevtiably become more lethal as it mutates in autumn is colloidal silver and also vitamins to strengthen the immune system, face masks and other such measures.

However, none of the governments in North America or Europe have stocked up on colloidal silver or announced sensible health measures to contain the coming lethal wave.

Instead, there are growing signs, they will use the panic to terrify people into taking the toxic vaccines which are sure to cause injury or damage because of the presence of heavy metals alone.

This mass vaccination will moreover alllow ever more lethal strains to emerge and also provide a cover for a release of bird flu virus or other pathogens.

This is why steps need to be taken now to stop the mass vaccinations anticipated in autumn by taking legal action to block the distribution of vaccines and/or laws allowing govenrments to force people to take vaccinations.

An investigation into this international corporate crime syndicate has to be conducted in every country because it has its tentacles in every country, and to try to initiate this in the USA, I filed charges with the FBI against WHO and the UN among otherdefendants in June. I included President Obama among the defendantsbecause I believe the time has come to identify and isolate the coremembers of this international corporate criminal group which hasannexed high government office in the USA, and put them in prison onceand for all, and there are reports that Obama has direct financiallinks with Baxter that need to be investigated by law enforcement.

There is evidence the Austrian Health Minister and other officials have been helping Baxter to cover its tracks.

Also, there is clear evidence that elements of the Austrian media are involved in actively spreading lies and misinformation to lull people into a false sense of security concerning Baxter’s manufacture and distribution of pandemic material in Austria thisFebruary.

Vital is for individuals and local authorities need to take effective measures to protect against the coming lethal wave of the H1N1 virus to minimise its impact.

To find to out about the charges I have filed so far in German and English in Austria also with the FBI, please check the wakenews website.
