Transparency International–Hillary Clinton

 

Transparency International is a NGO that monitors political and corporate corruption. There are chapters in 100. There are none in the United States. In March of 2012 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was given this nation-states award for Integrity. Hillary Clinton is the chief diplomat representing this country vis a vis with over 200 nation-states. She has violated her office as the United States is a hub in a clandestine Chemical Assault – Scorched Earth.

This attack has been in continuo since President Ronald Reagan in June 1987. President Obama has won and campaigned in two elections  2008 and 2012 while the Salton Sea and Colorado River were despoiled.

The Colorado River also is drinking water for areas of Mexico.

Remarks

---

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well, I am very honored to be here and delighted to be supporting the work of Transparency International-USA. Before government officials spoke as openly and loudly about these issues, Transparency International was already bringing corruption out of the shadows, sunlight being the best disinfectant. And so I am really here, first and foremost, to thank all of you.

I want to thank Alan for his years of service to our country and the foreign service; thank you so much. I want to thank you Claudia for assuming the reins of this very important organization. And I, of course, want to congratulate Coca-Cola. And Sonya, thank you for that very stirring description of the commitment that Coca-Cola has to the values represented by Transparency International-USA.

I know that the former – the predecessor to Claudia Dumas is Nancy Zucker Boswell who was just recognized, and I have a special reason for recognizing her again because she is here with her husband, Eric, who also happens to be the Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security at the State Department. So don’t try any funny stuff because Eric and his team are well-prepared. But I wanted to thank both of them for their service.

As you heard Sonya say, she was really accepting the award on behalf of the 700,000 associates of Coca-Cola. Well, I am accepting it on behalf of the people across the United States Government, not only from the State Department and USAID but from Treasury, from Commerce, from the SEC, from Justice – represented by our Assistant Secretary for Criminal Law, from representatives to the OECD, the United Nations, the G-20, and so many other dedicated public servants who serve you by waking up every single morning trying to figure out what more we can do to reduce corruption, to create transparency, accountability, and better governance. They will never receive an award like this and their names are not likely to be known. But they are fighting the fight day in and day out.

Now Al said we have made this a high priority, and indeed we have. We’ve tried to put it right at the center of the work that we do in diplomacy and development. And why? Well, very simply, we have an interest in reducing poverty and sparking economic growth around the world, in creating greater security, prosperity, and even peace. And we know that corruption and the lack of transparency eats away like a cancer at the trust people should have in their government, at the potential for broad-based, sustainable, inclusive growth. Corruption stifles entrepreneurship, siphons funding away from critical services, poor fiscal transparency makes it impossible to hold governments accountable. And if these problems go on long enough, if they run deep enough, they literally can and have been shaking societies to the core.

The vegetable vendor that Al mentioned certainly is a prime example of that. But we so much evidence of the increasing awareness and rejection by people of the corruption that has been for the millennia just taken for granted.

Anyone who doubts the power of frustrated citizens to rise up need not only look at the Middle East and North Africa, but increasingly across the globe because social media has given every citizen a tool in order to report and literally post in the matter of seconds the kind of abuses that have been, up until now, just taken for granted. So this is an integral part of national security.

We also know that corrupt practices contribute to the spread of organized crime and terrorism. They underwrite trafficking in drugs and arms and human beings. And we have a major stake in building up partners who can work with us to take on these transnational threats and to promote stability, who will work with us to champion an international standard of behavior that gives more people in more places the opportunity to fulfill their own God-given potential.

The second priority for us is that the United States needs to spark growth not only abroad but right here at home. I’ve often spoken about what I call economic statecraft. It’s how America’s foreign policy can be the best advocate for U.S. businesses abroad, which will in turn drive our own recovery, and so we are seeking ways to more effectively use economic tools to strengthen America’s global leadership.

American workers and businesses remain the most innovate and productive anywhere in the world. I believe they – we can compete with anybody, anywhere, but it’s very difficult to do that if you don’t have that proverbial playing field being level so that your competition has a shot of winning.

And I know that with all of the businesses represented here tonight, you understand how unfair it is when competitors pay the bribes, pass the money under the table, prey on public officials in other countries to force or extort them to do their bidding. And oftentimes, it prevents American businesses even from making investments in certain places where clearly they should have a competitive advantage.

Now, of course, for every one of those officials who are taking cash under the table just to do his or her job, there are many who are refusing. There are leaders of integrity who are trying to look powerful people in the eye and say, “No.” But they need our admiration, but more importantly, our support.

So we have made it a priority to fight corruption and promote transparency, and the United States has been at this for quite a number of years now. In 1996, the United States played a major role in developing the first legally-binding commitment by governments to fight corruption. And we’ve led on many important fronts since then. But I’d like to just briefly describe what this Administration is doing.

First, we’re expanding and mobilizing a global consensus in support of greater transparency – a global architecture, if you will, of anticorruption institutions and practices. Along with Brazil, we launched the Open Government Partnership. It is a network of support for government leaders and citizens working to bring more transparency and accountability to governments.

Already, it’s helping to shape best practices like Indonesia’s innovative method of involving even small villages in decisions about how government funds should be spent. All told, 53 countries and dozens of civil society organizations are committing to these efforts. And I know that many of TI’s country offices, including TI-USA, will be represented at the Open Government Partnership high-level summit in Brasilia that I will co-chair with the Brazilian foreign minister.

We’re building this anticorruption consensus in other ways as well. In what is called the Deauville Partnership, we are working with our Arab partners on anticorruption, open government, and asset recovery efforts. At the OECD, we were pleased to welcome Colombia and Russia into the Working Group on Bribery last year. It will be an important milestone when both have become full parties to the Anti-Bribery Convention.

Now we know business cultures do not change overnight, but moves like this at least establish beachheads for reform. And through our bilateral diplomacy and at the G-20, we are encouraging major economies such as China, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia to join the convention as well. We support the follow-through that’s necessary to enforce anticorruption norms such as the new review process that promotes implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption.

Yet even as we work to build this international consensus and the tools to implement it, we recognize that there’s a lot of work ahead. How do we produce the concrete changes in people’s lives? So we’re working to help countries build institutions and create tools to promote good governance. Now sometimes it’s as simple as cutting down the opportunities for an official to exact a bribe in the first place – for example, by reducing the number of forms you have to fill out, or by encouraging countries to move toward e-Government, electronic government. In Afghanistan, officials have cut down markedly on corruption by paying members of the national police force by mobile phone instead of by cash.

In many countries, we have seen a lot of the security difficulties with their militaries and their police forces, due, in large measure, because the members either don’t get paid at all or get paid sporadically or get paid less than they should because large amounts of cash are transported, and every officer along the line takes his share. So we’ve been pushing militaries and police forces to move to mobile banking as a way to combat that.

Next month, we will launch an innovative fund to encourage countries to be more open about how they spend their revenues. It’s part of a larger effort we’re calling Domestic Finance for Development, an initiative to help developing countries increase their own sources of funding so they can meet more of their own needs. It’s really quite difficult in many countries when we see that they either don’t have any modern tax system or they don’t collect what is owed with the result that they are often unable to meet the most basic needs of their own people.

And so we’re trying to help not only governments, but civil societies get the tools and training needed to hold their governments accountable. I’ve been working for three years to try to improve tax systems and collection efforts in a number of countries, and I was very impressed with the quick work that President Perez Molina in Guatemala has shown in creating a tax system aimed at beginning to collect taxes from the elites in that country.

Corruption is a key focus for our strategic dialogue with civil society, and we encourage them to get educated about what more they can do. When I was in Kenya in August of 2009 and I spoke at the University in Nairobi, I was very struck by a sign at the entrance to the university which read, “You are entering a no-corruption zone.” And the young people who we’ve been working with in Kenya and elsewhere have made efforts against corruption one of the centerpieces of their organizing politically.

Finally, because our credibility depends on practicing what we preach, we are trying to up our own game. We recently announced our intention to implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative in the United States, which will require disclosure of payments made by companies to the government and of payments received by the government from companies. Additionally, the Cardin-Lugar Amendment requires extractive industry companies registered with the SEC to disclose, project by project, how much they pay foreign governments. Now I know this has been a difficult issue, and the SEC is still working on the regulations, but we do think it will have a very profound effect on our ability to try to help manage some of the worst practices that we see in the extractive industry and in the relationships with governments at local and national levels around the world.

We’ve also launched groundbreaking efforts to make our development work more transparent. Go to the website foreignassistance.gov, because there, you can see where we are investing our development funds, and you can see that we are very committed to the global effort known as IATI to report our data in a timely, easy-to-use format.

And of course, this Administration, like those before us, has taken a strong stand when it comes to American companies bribing foreign officials. We are unequivocally opposed to weakening the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We don’t need to lower our standards. We need to work with other countries to raise theirs. I actually think a race to the bottom would probably disadvantage us. It would not give us the leverage and the credibility that we are seeking.

So we’re looking to approach the issues that all of you here tonight are both interested in and committed to, and it does take everyone working together and it does take a lot of persistence and perseverance, but I am absolutely confident that we will make progress. We are so aided by social media now. We have tools at our disposal in the hands of literally billions of people that were never even dreamed of before. And we have worked through our 21^st Century Statecraft Initiative to get those tools into the hands of more people to make them more usable, to encourage channels for people to be able to report corrupt practices – anonymously if necessary – as well as criminal activity of other sorts.

So we know old habits die hard. Human nature is what it is. But we think we have the potential to make even greater progress in the years ahead, and I’m very grateful to all of you and pledge that we will continue working closely together. Thank you very much. (Applause.)

Child Soldiers in Use In Kenya

An externality to continued land disputes in Kenya has forced unethical forces to abduct children as young as ten years of age to do their henchwork. The practice of coerced child soldiers is a modern horror that approaches and is slavery. There is no way of gauging the amount of damage that this practice is creating for these youthes and the future.

By KATHARINE HOURELD Associated Press Writer
BUNGOMA, Kenya — Dozens of scared children filed silently into the bare room, their eyes on the cracks in the floor. One by one, in low voices, they told of being tortured by the Kenyan army because they were suspected of aiding rebels. They told of being beaten and made to shake hands with corpses. They told of being forced to crawl through barbed wire tunnels and of genitals squeezed by pliers.

Then the children took off their shirts. White scars crisscrossed the dark skin on their backs like grains of rice. Some were still bleeding.

These children are among hundreds in western Kenya who have been terrorized, many twice over, first by a militia in their villages and then by the army sent to fight it. The militia forced children as young as 10 to become soldiers. In a widespread crackdown, the army then rounded up the children and thousands of adults and tortured them, human rights groups say.

The Associated Press interviewed some of the children in a detention center, brought in by a human rights advocate without the knowledge of government officials or the military. The children have been held since April on charges of promoting warlike activities. Their identities and location are withheld to protect them from reprisals.

March, the Kenyan government sent its army to crack down on the Sabaot Land Defense Force militia, which is named after the Sabaot region. But instead of hunting down militia fighters where they hide in the forests of Mount Elgon, the army swept up thousands of men and boys from the surrounding villages.

Since then, so many reports of murder and torture have emerged that Kenya's state-run human rights commission is calling for the prosecution of the defense minister and top army and police officials. There are also calls for the United States and Britain to suspend millions of dollars in aid and training to the Kenyan army.

The U.S. has asked for $7.45 million (euro4.7 million) for "peace and security" purposes for Kenya in 2009. Britain is providing more than $1.96 million this year to fight terrorism and has allocated $7.83 million for regional security initiatives based in Kenya.

Representatives of both governments in Kenya told The Associated Press they are deeply concerned over the reports of abuses and are calling on the Kenyan government to investigate. But the Kenyan government says the army has received no complaints.

The militia in Mount Elgon formed because of land conflicts, the same issue that fueled violence in Kenya after disputed elections in December. Squatters who had farmed the same fields since they were children were evicted in a government land scheme, and the rich grabbed plots set aside for the landless.

The militia flourished in the thick forests of Mount Elgon, where 166,000 people live in poor villages next to a dormant volcano. Some families encouraged children to join in the hope of securing land in the 370-square-mile (950-square-kilometer) district. Others were given a stark choice: pay the militia up to 50,000 Kenyan shillings (US$830, euro525) — far beyond the reach of most — donate their son, or die.

Change: Poetic Justice Is No Justice At All

Westwood CA
Dateline June 4, 2008

Barack Obama, on June 3, 2008 became the first African American to clinch the presidential nomination of a major political party. Obama by using a mantra of Change defeated a resurgent Hillary Clinton who seeked to be the first woman to stake such a claim. Clinton’s main policy issue was universal healthcare. It took within one hour of the close of an arduous primary campaign to cinch the nomination. A orchestrated flow of superdelegates gave Obama the needed majority at the close of the South Dakota polls which he lost. Obama won the final Montana primary which closed an hour later.

Personally, I was in Westwood, California and had just turned on my laptop after recharging such with a small battery of solar panels in the forest. This was slightly before 6:00 PST. On MSNBC, Hillary Clinton was speaking in New York City. I was able to view this live. Only recently has the modem speed on my smartphone service been able t o delivery about the equivalent of 54kbs which would permit me to watch such in real time. I normally would not watch regular television and I just left my small handheld transistor radio at the bus stop for whomever wanted it.

John McCain has already locked up the Republican nomination and Barack Obama will face this war hero for the presidency.

One of the most prominent measures of a president is the ability to identify and solve the problem and crises that the nation faces. Hence George Washington in defeating the British and being the first president is considered by many to be the greatest leader. Abraham Lincoln is gaining strongly in this measure by ending slavery.

George Bush is the crisis president. One must consider that 9-11 must have some blame placed on his predecessors. Needless to state Bush did not recognize me. I usually state such in the subject header of emails as In re: Nollmeyer. This is in conformity with the Rules For the United States Supreme Court and one could recognize such as in the styling of an extraordinary writ.

The United States or the leadership still has not recognized a chemical assault against the nation. All public officials in my cognition have no known objective remedy and records to the internal crisis which may construed as an act of war. The allegation is that Cambridge Law School is the authorship and origin. LAPD contains a Gay Militia which is leading the attack with the Delaware State Police and Baltimore Police Department as lower level co-principals.

The attack seeks to avenge LGBT treatment with me as a foil. I have survived by adhering to the teachings of my Gaudiya Vaishnava faith by following basic instruction in the original Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

An unnamed Baltimore Studio or The Studio also in involved. They are LGBT orientated. Such are involved in the mutilation of evidence. In this regards a tactic of Gay Militancy is to frame a heterosexual as a LGBT person. This is the case in the United States as over 42 states have become despoiled with no affective remedy by sworn official.

I am one day older than Barack Obama, being born August 3, 1961. Gay marriages are set to begin June 17, 2008 here in California. This is the birthday of the United States Constitution. This event became on the June 17, 1987 the 200th Anniversary of this document.

The ballot initiative to limit marriage to one man, one woman has been placed on the November ballot both in California and Florida.

I support these measures which are similar to that in 26 states.
-Persons that wish to teach from a spurious history of corrupt records will only be humiliated and defeated. This also true from those who do not even recognize objective history.

At the present date neither candidate for the president is an agent of positive real change. John McCain and Barack Obama will only prove that democracy does not lead to freedom. Such leads to totalitarianism and a Perfect Dictator. This is a democratically elected system that gradually marginalizes and enslaves it citizens.

In lieu of this on has to consider if the Democratic and Republican Parties are not RICO structures hence racketeered influenced corrupt organizations that should be dismantled and divested.

Columbia Extradites High Level Drug Traffickers

Amnesty International has reported that high level dealers are being sent to the United States.

The Colombian government's decision to extradite 14 paramilitary leaders wanted in the USA on drugs-trafficking charges should not be used as an excuse to end investigations into the role played by paramilitaries in committing human rights violations against thousands of people, often in collusion with or the acquiescence of the Colombian security forces, Amnesty International said today.

`On taking the decision to extradite them, the government is arguing that these paramilitary leaders have failed to tell the whole truth about the human rights violations they committed, have continued to reoffend while in prison, and have failed to fulfil commitments they had made as part of the demobilization process in terms of reparation to their victims.

"The paramilitary demobilization process -- by which over 31,000 members of paramilitary groups supposedly demobilized -- and the legal framework that has accompanied it, has been a complete sham which has abjectly failed both to dismantle paramilitarism in Colombia and to respect the right of victims to truth, justice and reparation. The Colombian government now appears to share this view, which it had denied for so long," said Amnesty International.

`The organization stated that in extraditing these men on drugs-trafficking charges without reference to human rights violations, there is a real danger that tentative investigations being carried out in Colombia, especially by the Human Rights Unit of the Office of the Attorney General and by the Supreme Court of Justice, will be severely weakened.

"There is now a real danger that the full scale of human rights violations committed over the years by paramilitaries, as well as the key role played by the security forces, state officials and leading political and business figures in these crimes, will remain hidden and, as such, in complete impunity," said Amnesty International.
Amnesty International is also concerned that allegations about the involvement of US agencies in supporting paramilitary groups may not now be fully investigated. Not only has the US provided military assistance to Colombian military units operating closely with paramilitaries, but in the 1990s evidence emerged that the PEPES paramilitary structure - created to hunt down drug-trafficker Pablo Escobar - was possibly operating with the support of US security agencies. "Don Berna" allegedly had close links with the PEPES. The PEPES evolved into the paramilitary Autodefensas Campesinas de Córdoba y Urabá.

"Despite the extraditions, criminal investigations in Colombia into human rights atrocities committed by these paramilitaries, and their links with the security forces and others, must continue, if their countless victims are ever to receive any semblance of justice," said Amnesty International.

Darfur: Sexual Abuse Unchecked

The conditions of terror and intimidation continue with impunity in Darfur. I chose this selection as events of human trafficking, child molestation, and other statutory and non-consesual violations appear not to abate. This trend is alarming and the persons in Darfur are most vulnerable.

David Nollmeyer

HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

(New York, April 7, 2008) – Five years into the Darfur conflict, women and girls need protection from rape and brutal attacks still being committed by government forces and armed groups throughout Darfur, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released today.Neither government security forces nor international peacekeepers have provided sufficient protection for women and girls, who remain extremely vulnerable to rape and other abuses during large-scale attacks and even in periods of relative calm, Human Rights Watch said. Survivors of sexual violence face numerous obstacles to justice, leaving them without meaningful redress. Where the perpetrators are soldiers or militia, the chances of prosecution are still more remote.

The 44-page report, “Five Years On, No Justice for Sexual Violence in Darfur,” documents the widespread prevalence of sexual violence throughout Darfur, and details incidents of violent rape perpetrated on girls as young as 11 years old. The government of Sudan has failed to rein in the abuse, much of which is carried out by their own soldiers and allied militia. In spite of the presence of international peacekeepers in Darfur, they have to date been under-resourced and unable to protect women and girls from rape and other forms of violence.

“Women and girls in Darfur are still living under the constant threat of rape,” said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “The Sudanese government has declared ‘zero-tolerance’ for sexual violence, yet has done almost nothing to protect these victims.”

Human Rights Watch documented numerous incidents of rape and other sexual violence by Sudanese government soldiers, members of government-backed “Janjaweed” militia, rebels, and ex-rebels across Darfur since early 2007. These cases represent a small fraction of the sexual violence incidents as the vast majority of them are unreported.

Women and girls continue to suffer rape and other forms of sexual violence in the context of large-scale attacks. In February 2008, at least 10 women and girls were raped when government forces and allied militia carried out a massive air and ground attack on the villages of Sirba, Silea, and Abu Suruj in West Darfur, according to local residents.

Soldiers, militia, rebels, and ex-rebels also rape women and girls outside displaced persons camps and in rural areas. A 12-year-old girl described how an armed Arab man in uniform lured her and her younger sister into a secluded area by pretending to help them find their lost donkey. “He said if we went with him he would show us. He grabbed me and took off my clothes to do bad things to me. My younger sister ran back to the camp.”

The government of Sudan has repeatedly and publicly denied that sexual violence takes place in Darfur, but has taken some small steps to address the problem. The government has appointed a handful of additional police and prosecutors, and established committees to combat violence against women in each of the three Darfur states. However, these steps have not reduced attacks on women or girls or increased their access to justice.

“The victims of these horrific attacks have little or no hope of redress in Darfur’s current climate of impunity,” said Gagnon. “By failing to prosecute the perpetrators, the government is giving them a license to rape.”

In addition, police and judicial authorities are unwilling or unable to prosecute most crimes committed by soldiers or militia. For example, during a large-scale attack on the village of Abu Sakin, North Darfur in late 2006, government soldiers and Janjaweed militia abducted eight women and girls, brutally raped at least three, and forced them to walk back to their village naked. The suspects were identified by the victims, but to date the military has refused to hand them over to the prosecutor. In other cases, police openly admit that they cannot take action if the case involves the military. Human Rights Watch called on the government of Sudan to:

Issue a presidential decree that rape and other forms of sexual violence by government forces and government-backed militia will be promptly investigated and prosecuted, and ensure that such a decree is enforced;

Bolster the justice sector’s capacity to respond to crimes of sexual violence;

Train police and prosecutors in victim-sensitive approaches to handling criminal investigations, and ensure that properly trained female police investigators are deployed to police stations in Darfur;

Revise criminal laws on sexual violence to provide for attempted rape, and ensure rape victims are not exposed to prosecution for adultery.

Rebel forces, former rebel groups, and other non-state armed groups should issue clear, public instructions to group members that rape and other forms of sexual violence will be fully investigated and prosecuted, and perpetrators held accountable.

European Court Reaffirms Ban on Torture

European Court reaffirms ban on torture

Every Nation-state should strive to adopt verifiable universal standards on torture. The power game continues to dominate with the interests of the state trumping preserving human dignity and deferring violence to a competent court under an adversial setting where witnesses and evidence may be equally presented and challenged.
David Nollmeyer

28 February 2008
The European Court of Human Rights has re-affirmed the absolute prohibition of torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In the court's ruling in the case of Saadi v Italy on Thursday, it found "substantial grounds had been shown for believing that there is a real risk" that Nassim Saadi would be subjected to torture or other ill-treatment if he were deported, relying heavily on reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

The Italian authorities sought to deport Mr Saadi to Tunisia under the "Pisanu Law" that was originally adopted in 2005 as "an urgent measure to combat terrorism". The Italian authorities argued that he posed a security risk to Italy.

The Court deemed the reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to be credible, consistent and corroborated by numerous other sources. Amnesty International's research indicates that torture and other ill-treatment by the security forces in Tunisia are widespread.

The practices reported, including against people charged with terrorism-related offences, include hanging from the ceiling, threats of rape, administration of electric shocks, immersion of the head in water, beatings and cigarette burns. Allegations of torture and ill-treatment in police custody are not investigated by the relevant Tunisian authorities.

"Confessions" extracted under torture may be used as the principal evidence in trials that result in long prison sentences or the death penalty. Consequently, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that sending Nassim Saadi back to Tunisia would violate the Italian government’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights.

"This judgment should serve as a reminder to all states: not only they are not allowed to commit torture themselves, but they are forbidden from sending anyone to countries where they would be at risk of torture or other ill-treatment," said Ian Seiderman, Amnesty International’s Senior Legal Adviser.

The case took on additional significance when the United Kingdom intervened in an attempt to persuade the European Court to change its long-established case-law in a way that would have significantly weakened the absolute prohibition on torture and other ill-treatment. The Court rejected as "misconceived" the arguments advanced by the UK, with which the Italian government had agreed.

While the Court acknowledged the immense difficulty states face in protecting their communities from terrorist violence, it affirmed that the danger of terrorism "must not however call into question the absolute nature of [the prohibition of torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment]."

Serbia Does Not Recognise Devotee

Serbia accused of inaction over religious attacks Friday, 8th February 2008. 12:03pmBy: Nick Mackenzie.SERBIA has been accused of doing little to prevent attacks on religious minorities in the country.

The claim comes from the Norwegian-based human rights monitor Forum 18 News Service. They cite the case of a Hare Krishna devotee who has been the subject of repeated knife attacks, but the Serbian authorities have been accused of doing nothing to help.Zivota Milanovic, the only Hare Krishna devotee in Jagodina, has suffered the attack from 2001, but Forum 18 say that the District Prosecutor’s Office has not taken any effective action in any of the cases.Because of the official inaction, he told Forum 18 that "I believe that I will be attacked again."

A lawyer familiar with the case commented to Forum 18 that "any other attack with more than three stabbings is treated as 'attempted murder'." Faced with the authorities' lack of interest in investigating and stopping these violent crimes, Milanovic has filed a case with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. The ECHR has not yet decided whether the case is admissible.

Forum 18 comment that violent attacks such as these are not common, and usually happen against property rather than people. But they add that the number of attacks in recent years has increased and members of religious minorities are especially likely to be attacked.

Democracy Attacked by Irrationalism

The United States 2008 Presidential Elections are an in continuo example of the degradation of the Rights of Man under Irrationalism and Totalitarianism. The population clamors for an elected dictator who promises to provide a benefit versus a cost.

In reality this country is being marginalized by fraud in a Bacchanalian pursuit of pleasure. The media is a willing handmaiden in the destruction as is the internet. The lack of intervention by preaching missions of all faiths and human rights groups as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch provides the present and future with a measure of how through the defection and corruption is.

Genetic man and his adaptive socialized behavior and learning are easily co-opted for his own elimination. Any alignment to the United States and the United Kingdom exposes one to this virus. The are no other real credible choices.

Has genetic humankind chosen completely to pick one’s own poison to destruction?
Democracy is collapsed here to a plutocracy/kleptocracy. Anything that was ill gained is chemically destroyed under the sanitization of freedom.

Human Rights Versus Single Issue Terror

The purpose of this blog is to advocate Human Rights which predicates that there should be a legal positive primary right that has jurisdcition in a legitmate court of venue. This is in contrast to mob rule or corrupt de facto structures of militias and secret police activities.

Terrorists are defined from Rebels in that Terrorists attack civilians. Rebels take their fight against military installations and uniformed security forces.

Hence Rebels are in limbo as to whether they will be recognised as a fighting force or as Terrorist, read Criminals.

Presently, I am in Cambria California. The chemical assault against the United States is lead by a Single Issue Terror Cell(s) of LAPD.

I do not advocate violence by any means.

I do denounce the adminstration of President George W. Bush.
This goes as well for all 2008 Presidential Candidates.

LAPD is Democratic and desires for Hillary Clinton to win the election. They will attempt to create a Strawman argument that I support the Democratic Party Platform which is false.

Thank you for your consideration.

Cambridge Law School UK: Authorship

Cambria CA
Dateline 11-29-2007

The ongoing chemical assault defies moral comprehension or recognition. Here the authorship is exposed.

The origination and authorship of this attack has now come to the forefront. One of the myths of due process or efficient prosecution is dispelled. I am contacting the FBI, state attorney generals, federal and state officials to prosecute this event. LAPD who are also a gay militia are stating that I am secular and promoting a LGBT platform when at 46 years of age I am maturing spiritually and am socially conservative.

The ruse is that I will condone drug dealers or Gay Militants. Where are any of the code enforcement now?

Descending from the point of origin, which is alleged to be a system of lawyers from Cambridge Law School UK would give and define the entire conspiracy with closure if accurate. This would involve complex jurisdiction. The United States Federal Court is corrupt and one would give grounds for a sua ponte dismissal.

So here on internet I will state that I will gather all my data on this authorship and create a separate website for this exposition. Since I am physically in Cambria, California for the winter I attempt to confront local, state, and federal officials who are in personemm.

It is winter and I am using mobile technology now for the most part. Look for this site up in the next six months.

The Criminal Knows His Own Crime. The strongest evidence is a genuine legally binding confession from the authorship. Here we can see that Homeland Security are accomplices and the presidency and as well as all the pretenders to the office are mutual corrupt and inadequate to efficiently prosecute the law.

The Structure of Terror

The following are excerpts that pertain to the organizational features of terrorism. I find that there are no qualified candidates to the presidency regarding Homeland Security and a concrete ethic against violence in this country.

David Nollmeyer
Cambria CA

When examining the overall structure of terrorist groups, there are two general categories of
organization: networked and hierarchical. A terrorist group may employ either type or a
combination of the two models. Newer groups tend towards organizing or adapting
to the possibilities inherent in the network model. Ideology can have an effect on
internal organization, with strict Leninist or Maoist groups tending towards centralized
control and hierarchical structure. Within the larger structure, though, virtually all
groups use variants of cellular organizations at the tactical level to enhance security and to organize
for operations.

Terrorist groups that are associated with a political activity or organization will often require a more hierarchical structure, in order to coordinate terrorist violence with political action. It also can be necessary for a politically affiliated group to observe cease-fire agreements or avoid particular targets in support of political objectives. This can be difficult to enforce in networked organizations.

Terrorist groups can be at various stages of development in terms of capabilities and
sophistication. Newer groups with fewer resources will usually be less capable, and operate in
permissive areas or under the tutelage of more proficient organizations to develop proficiency.

Change in terrorist leadership, whether through generational transition or as a response to
enhanced security operations, may signal significant adjustments to organizational priorities
and means of conducting terrorism. Also, groups professing or associated with ethnic or nationalist agendas and limiting their operations to one country or a localized region tend to require fewer capabilities. Larger groups can coalesce from smaller organizations, or smaller
groups can splinter off from larger ones.

“There’s nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win.”

3-2

Section I: Terrorist Group Structure

Levels of Commitment

There are typically different levels of commitment within an organization:
passive supporters, active supporters, cadre, and leadership. Figure 3-1 shows how each successive level of commitment has fewer members. This pyramid diagram is not intended as an organizational picture, but to show the relative number of people in each category. This image
of overall density holds true for networks as well as hierarchies. Passive supporters may
intermingle with active supporters and be unaware of what their actual relationship is to
the organization.

• Leaders provide direction and policy; approve goals and objectives; and provide overarching guidance for operations. Usually leaders rise from within the ranks
of any given organization, or create their own organization from scratch.

• Cadres are the active members of the terrorist organization. This echelon plans and conducts not only operations, but also manages areas of intelligence, finance, logistics, information operations, and communications. These activities all occur in the active membership. Mid-level cadres tend to be trainers and technicians such as bomb makers, financiers, and surveillance experts. Low-level cadres are the bombers and
similar direct action terrorists in an attack.

• Active Supporters are active in the political, fund-raising, and information activities of the group. Acting as an ally or tacit partner, they may also conduct initial intelligence and surveillance activities, and provide safehaven houses, financial contributions,
medical assistance, and transit assistance for active members of the organization. They
are usually fully aware of their relationship to the terrorist group but do not commit
violent acts.

• Passive Supporters are typically individuals or groups that are sympathetic to the announced goals and intentions of the terrorist organization, but are not committed enough to take action. They may not be aware of their precise relation to the terrorist group, and interface with a front that hides the overt connection to the terrorist group.

Sometimes fear of reprisal from terrorists is a compelling factor in passive support. Sympathizers can be useful for political activities, fund raising, and unwitting or coerced
assistance in intelligence gathering or other non-violent activities.

Terrorist groups will recruit from populations that are sympathetic to their goals. Often legitimate organizations can serve as recruiting grounds for terrorists.
Militant Islamic recruiting, for example, is often associated with the proliferation of the
radical Wahhabi sect. This recruiting is conducted on a worldwide basis via Wahhabist schools financed from both governmental and non-governmental donations and grants.128 Some recruiting may be conducted for particular skills and qualifications, and not be tied to
ideological characteristics.

Of particular concern are attempts of terrorist organizations to recruit current
or former members of the U.S. armed forces, both as trained operatives, and as agents in
place.

Judge Michael Mukasey Should Not Be Attorney General

Judge Michael Mukasey Should Not Be Attorney General
Cambria CA
Dateline 11-03-2007

What appeared to be a less than acrimonious vetting for United States Attorney General became heated when the Bush nominee was questioned regarding torture and specifically waterboarding. This tactic comprises of inversion of the detainee and pretending to insert one's head into a bucket of water to extract information during interrogation. I find the faked stimulus of drowning less than credible as an interrogation tactic. I find the ticking time bomb scenario poor support or backing for torture.

Here in Cambria, California while this theatre goes on in Washington DC, there is a huge problem with the culture of impunity while acts of harassment are committed with police and authorities looking the other way. If one would stick one's hand in Santa Ynez Creek that runs through the village it would burn one's hand. All the food in stores is likewise contaminated. President Bush, Attorney General Gonzalez et al inclusive of the Democrat Senators Feinstein and Boxer have recognized the abuse here which is concrete not a future scenario.

Senator Feinstein is on the Judiciary Committee and has stated she supports Judge Mukasey. This is an act that will be part of the folly of errors that will be the future inheritance of the world.

Activists Urge Britain to Intervene In Kazakhstan

British Government Asked to Intervene in Kazakh Crisis
Asian Image (UK) on 24 Oct 2007


The British government is being urged to speak to the Kazakhstan President to stop the harassment and human rights abuse against minority Hindu communities in that country.
British MP's this week said they would pressure the Foreign Secretary to act after attending an event organized by the Hindu Forum of Europe at the House of Commons.

At the event two Kazakh human rights activists, Yevgeniy Zhovtis and Ninel Fokina made a presentation on how Hindu houses have been selectively targeted for demolition and a Hindu temple confiscated by a Kazakh Government that they claim is increasingly modeled on the totalitarian style of the older Soviet Union'.

Despite international pressure, the local Government in Kazakhstan has decided to demolish houses belonging to 100 Hindus without following any procedure, protocol or observance of human rights.

Riot police moved into Hindu properties and demolished them on 21 November 2006 and again on 15 June 2007 to render Kazakh citizens homeless simply because they were Hindu, while people of other faiths living in the same area have no problems and continue to live without any form of discrimination.

This was followed by an official order of the government to demolish the Hindu Temple and the dairy farm of the community.

The Temple continues to be under threat and the authorities could come at any time to demolish it.

Despite flagrant disregard for minority faith communities and blatant violation of human rights, Kazakhstan is seeking to Chair the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a body that safeguards human rights in Europe.

British MPs have now promised to take up this issue with the Foreign Secretary as well as the Foreign Affairs Select Committee. They plan to table an Early Day Motion to seek support from other MPs.
"The human rights abuse against Kazakh Hindus is shocking," said Virendra Sharma MP, who was one of the hosts of the event. "It is important that international institutions and world governments begin to understand the scale of abuse against minorities like Hindus and Baptists that is taking place in this country."

"Freedom to practise one's religion is an absolute right," said James Clappison MP who was also hosting the event. "We cannot just stand back and do nothing when women and children are being rudely thrown out of their homes into the streets during freezing winter conditions."
Referring to the Kazakh Government's official stand that the dispute was a legal matter, Sarah Teather MP, another Parliamentary host for the event commented, "Laws are made to uphold human dignity. If they allow minority communities to be persecuted, then it is clear that they need to be changed."

Faith leaders form the Sikh, Buddhist and Christian communities responded to the presentations made on the abuse in Kazakhstan.

Anne Noonan from the Catholic Bishop's conference said, "Catholics have also faced plenty of problems in Kazakhstan. UK has made a huge progress in dialogue between faith communities and we have a real model here which we can present."

"How can Kazakhstan bid to Chair the OCSE when its human rights record is so appalling?" asked Sudarshan Bhatia, President of the Hindu Forum of Europe.

"The judicial system of the Republic of Kazakhstan has passed rulings which do not reflect the constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and severely affects the lives of the Kazakh Hindu community. These rulings allow the government to evacuate the Hindus from their home, destroy their homes, and confiscate their properties."

"We want the world to wake up and hear what is happening to the Hindu community in Kazakhstan," declared Hari Halai, Vice President of the Hindu Forum of Europe.
"The Kazakh government is determined to grab the land belonging to the temple because of the property is now worth twenty times more than it originally was.

Human rights activist have pointed to a growing nexus between the mafia and the government in which the vulnerable Hindu community has been made a victim."

Ramesh Kallidai, secretary general of the Hindu Forum of Britain said that the Kazakh Government had set up a Commission to enquire into these issues. "But it reached no conclusion, had no representation of Hindus and collapsed without any just discussion," he added.

"The Supreme Court heard cases about Kazakh Hindus in their absence without serving them notice or allowing their lawyers to argue their case in complete viloation of their human rights.
"We hope that this discussion in the House of Commons will focus attention on the women and children who were dragged out of their lawful homes and left out in the cold winter for the simple reason that they were Hindus."

"We do need to do something more proactive," said Raj Joshi from the Society of Black Lawyers.
"An Early Day Motion is not going to achieve much. We need to ask the Foreign Secretary to consider imposing economic sanctions and political isolation on rogue nations like Kazakhstan. They will only listen if it hurts."

C B Patel, Chair of the Hindu Forum of Britain's Patrons Council requested the Members of Parliament to take up this issue in earnest. "We have seen what can be done when Hindus come together as they did for the Hare Krishna Temple Defence Movement. We must gather our forces in a similar way for this event is just the beginning of this fight."

The Defend Kazakh Hindus campaign is supported by the Hindu Forum of Europe, Hindu Forum of Britain, Hindu American Foundation, Hindu Forum of Belgium, Hindu Council of Holland, Italian Hindu Union, Federation of Hindu Temples in France, Hindu Council of Africa, Hindu Council of Australia, Hindu Conference of Canada, National Council of Hindu Temples UK, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

Cambria California Exposed

Cambria California Exposed

Currently the chemical despoliation of California has arrived to the Gold Coast of California as Cambria once again.

One has to be clear as to whom the perpetrators are. They are a cell of LAPD officers code-named for the time being the Flies. (AKA Lord of the Flies).

Through mass defection in prisoner’s dilemma an informant nation is manifest. As I move through Cambria to places as the grocery store or the post office, LAPD usually will ask people to lay in wait and harass persons.

I have called Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer about this 10-16-07.
I am religiously conservative and do not use drugs or alcohol as marijuana and the like.
The huge winery here is despoiled. This is the price that California and both heterosexual and LGBT communities will face. This is Katrina styled debacle.

LAPD sounds by speech patterns and values about the 8th grade. They are clearly irrational and pathological as far as lying is concerned.

I am here mainly to create sound irrefutable legal records that I will personally back up in a court room here under United States Federal or state law.

The tradition here for the LGBT is going to poor as a group orientation is constantly pleaded for in pathos to cover up the abuse.

California is facing a 70% recidivism rate of prisoners in three years. This state releases 120,000 inmates out of 170,000. So if 30,000 persons are two strikes now in about three years another 84,000 persons could be added at this level caterus paerebus.

The Reagan Presidential Administration

Here is a public domain photo of the Reagan Administration. The damage the incompetence and corruption of these persons is unparalled in United States History.

The Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush Administrations are worse.

The culture is too much in awe of the powerful. I have been dependent in this area my self. The concrete damage to rights in the United States especially California is staggering.

The people are plutocrats and they believe that being informants to usurpations is fine.

I posit otherwise and hope that the survirors of the in continuo misdeeds recieve their day in court.

Inyo County

What to Do

It is imperative that persons begin to file complaints to the competent authorities. Under the Color of Law against code enforcement in the main are handled by the FBI. There is a contact for Under the Color of authority complaints at their website.

Currently Inyo County and the High Sierras are under serious attack. People have to begin to stand up for their rights.

Minimax - In the Case of Future's Future's

In the Case of Future's Future's - Minimax

Big Pine CA
Dateline 9-12-07

One consideration of game theory and the Constitution is Minimax. In jurisprudence this is the choosing of the least damaging outcome as a baseline. In the consideration of strategic nuclear defense this is quite evident and is built around deterrence, second strike capabilities, and diplomacy. In general, constitutions provide for the framework of the government.

In the United States Constitution the Constitution itself simply organizes the structure of the government. This is a republican federalist model. There are 34 amendments that give substantitive rights to the individual. The 10th amendment returns rights to the states.The constitution is a perpetual association that is intended to conserve posterity for future's future's. It can only be changed from within itself.

Hence if a state that is legitimate has a civil war or a coup de tat and loses. The ensuing government is de facto or illegal. Hence we see game theory or defection in various nation-states. In Somalia the Islamic Courts decisively drove the standing government into Eithiopia. Ethiopia felt threatened by the Islamic Courts and invaded and reinstalled the older government.

Fidel Castro drove the corrupt Bautista government and mafias out of Cuba and replaced such with himself as autocratic ruler. The United Nations does not accept rule ad baculum or by force. However the old Soviet Bloc and modern China accept Revolution and by defection Cuba has mixed recognition and vis a vis protocols with the democracies lead by United States interests.

In Czechoslovakia the true intent of the dissolution of the social contract was clearly demonstrated with the civil division of the country into Czech and Slovakia.Hence in a theocracy the main goal is to develop the state to return the individual back to eternity. In civil states such appears to be the upholding of the rights of the individual and state. This usually has an equivalence in preventing tyranny and bad governance.

The Collective Begins With the Individual
Big Pine CA
Dateline9-09-07

In a direct parallel ISKCON is contemplating the development of a Constitution. In the United States Constitution the Constitution itself simply organizes the structure of the government. This is a republican federalist model Hence a central government that gives rights to the states with checks and balances. The latter is that there are three executive branches. That is the presidency, judicial, and legislative branches. The constitution creates a citizen then a president. The substantitive rights are in the Bill of Rights and the Amendments.Historically it is moot that defection in prisoner's dilemma has rendered this dysfunctional. Is this a nativistic or socialized deformity? It is both. Everything at the material level must have some basis in our genetics and structure than our relationship to the environment.

Top Scientist Advocates Genocide for 90% of World Population

By Shawn Carlson, Ph.D on 26 Aug 2007

"HIV is no good, it is too slow to control human populations. Ebola zaire has potential. It kills nine out of ten humans." In late 2006, the Texas Academy of Science chose to honor one Professor Eric R. Pianka, an eminent ecologist who studies desert ecologies, with its 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist award. Professor Pianka used the occasion to champion the notion, apparently without sanction of the Academy, that the Earth can only be saved if ninety percent of the human beings alive today are purged from the planet. He championed airborne Ebola as the most efficient virus to accomplish this. And while he stopped short of calling for terrorist action to bring this result about, he clearly implied that this was a right and proper future for our species and our planet. Astonishingly, after advocating for a future in which more than 5,000,000,000 persons would die a slow and agonizing death, many members of the Texas Academy of Science stood to their feet and applauded.

I want to answer two questions here. Do academic institutions like the Texas Academy of Science have a duty to provide Professor Pianka a forum to advance these ideas? And what might the consequences be of allowing him to do so? My answer to the first question is a resounding "no." Furthermore, I am convinced that continuing to allow Professor Pianka unfettered access to impressionable students could one day lead to a loss of life that could make the Killing Fields of Southeast Asia look like a picnic ground.

Let me explain.

First, do Pianka's opinions deserve protection under the rubric of academic freedom? Well, that depends on whether this ideas are truly academic—that is, that they are consistent with the best understanding of our world that science has established.

Now consider Pianka's arguments.

Pianka claims that the natural world would be "better off" if there weren't so many humans. To see if that's true, we have to figure out just what constitutes the "natural world"? As an evolutionist, I see human beings as the products of the same natural forces that shaped all other life on earth. Our brains evolved on this planet subject to the same kinds of natural selection pressures as those that shaped peacock feathers. The same can be said of all of our social structures, our religions and every other aspect of what we are that helped us secure resources and propagate our species (the hammer and anvil of natural selection). In short, our institutions and our technology are every bit as much a part of the natural world as elk mating rituals and beaver dams. In fact, by evolving the ability to adapt the world to fit us , human beings have become better at securing resources and procreating than any other vertebrate on the planet. By this measure, we are evolution's most successful creation (amongst vertebrates). If extraterrestrials were asked to select nature's most successful vertebrate on the Earth they would certainly point to us.
