Image via WikipediaThe empire and its minions could not get rid of Ghaddafi by staging a revolt under the utterly absurd cloak of "peaceful protests" ("We are losing the information war" - Hillary Clinton. Ms. Clinton lies do not work when people are searching for truth) so they had to resort to bombs, violence, brute force.
Now comes to light another utter embarrasment for them and the UN, this one they can NEVER LIVE DOWN.
It just so happens that the United Nations Human Rights Council was scheduled to take another important vote. What was that vote?
The Council was about to vote on a report that affirmed and praised Libya and Colonel Ghaddafi for THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS RECORD. The report said that the Ghaddafi government protected "not only political rights, but also economic, educational, social and cultural rights," and praised it for the nation's treatment of religious minorities, and the "human rights training" received by security forces.
ICE Formalizes Policy to Deport Haitians During Humanitarian Crisis
Groups Denounce Policy as a Death Sentence, Cite Human Rights Violations That Will Result From Deportations
The first plane of deportees was sent to Haiti on January 20, 2011. The deportees were held in a facility with no access to clean water or food, with no working toilets and with feces and vomit on the floor. One of these men, Wildrick Guerrier, died less than two weeks later after exhibiting cholera-like symptoms. His death was a predictable result of the Obama administration’s decision to resume deportations to Haiti. A second man was released from jail with similar symptoms without receiving any medical care.
Libyan rebels: McCain's babes
The Republican party Senator visited Benghazi, the hub of the Islamist terrorist "unarmed civilians/rebels" supported by NATO just like the Albanian terrorists a decade ago, this Good Friday and declared that these brigands are "my heroes".
Well they would be would they not? They serve the neo-con plan rather well - destroy civilian structures just like in Iraq then dole out billionaire rebuilding contracts to White House cronies - and what has changed? After all those who surround Obama are the same ones responsible for the banking crisis.
McCain, obviously, was one of those backing a military strike against Libya. Yet this failure backed the losing side, again. The US military opines that a stalemate has been reached, with the country divided in two.
Nice one, NATO. Another foreign policy disaster, another act of interference into the affairs of a sovereign state, and another long, protracted act of murder and destruction.
Let us be honest - if McCain is involved, something reeks. Stand by for added military intervention and the sudden shifting of the game plan, called "Mission Creep". United Nations Organization - HELP! Yet another assault upon the precepts on international law. And another good pointer towards how Obama has been assimilated by the system.

The Big Business of power generation kills
for every terawatt / hour (terawatt is equal to one trillion [1012] watts) of energy produced by the use of coal, 161 people die
oil. For each terawatt / hour of energy produced, 36 human beings perish.
natural gas, Each terawatt/ hour produced, 4 persons lose their life
( Um. Hydrofracking a poisonous gas...sounds ridiculously understated. )
every terawatt / hour generated by solar panels installed on roofs of houses corresponds to a mortality of 0.44.Humanity has also lost many because of the hydropower. This is exemplified with the 230,000 dead in China in 1975, due to flaws in the reservoirs. For the sake of comparison, the Chernobyl accident resulted in 9,000 victims. Statistically, for each terawatt / hour generated in hydroelectric plants, the mortality rate reaches 1.4.
( Figures don't lie, but liars do figure. Hydraulic warfare uses dams extensively. It's a major ignored risk covered by International Rivers, Levees.org...and me. )
the use of so-called "wind" also kills. In this case, mortality is 0.15 for each terawatt / hour generated
( Do you think this counts the abysmal mess of toxins in China caused by mining rare earths for magnets ? )
14 funny and 14 not so funny statistics about 'economic recovery'
unemployment is rampant, a million families were kicked out of their homes last year and hordes of American families are drowning in debt. The gap between the rich and the poor is bigger today than it ever has been before. In fact, this article is not so much about "rich vs poor" as it is about "the rich vs the rest of us".
New nuclear arms control treaty is a trap for Russia
prior to START-3, NATO did not have the decisive superiority over Russia on the number of warheads. The USA and its allies were 30 percent ahead of Russia at this point, which was not a critical situation. Now the state of affairs will be different. NATO will have a considerable superiority on the number of warheads - 2 or 2.5 times. The real disbalance will be larger, because the US has preserved the so-called breakout potential. It goes about the warheads that were removed from duty and deposited. It will not take long to have those nukes back on duty again. Therefore, NATO will be eight times superior over Russia on the number of nuclear warheads in total.

Zuma Must Not Follow Companies into Nuclear Trap
Greenpeace reiterates its call to President Zuma not to fall into the dangerous trap of nuclear energy. Instead South Africa should be exploring investments in renewable because of the opportunities it creates for jobs, energy security and the climate.

Analysis: Shandong postcard: big changes sweep rural China
The virtual absence of any farmers under 40 speaks to China's urbanization. Youngsters decamp as soon as they can to work in towns near and far, leaving their aging parents to till the soil. Many households are leasing out their smallholdings, resulting in bigger, more productive farms.
The chasm between town and country is part of a broader pattern of inequality, which, as measured by the Gini Coefficient, has increased to around 0.48 from 0.16 in 1978. The figure would be zero if wealth were perfectly shared out and 1.0 if it were in one person's hands.
Li Shi, an economist at Beijing Normal University and a prominent expert on the issue, said survey samples undercount poor rural migrants and the wealth of China's elite. He put the true Gini Coefficient at 0.53.
"Although these estimates may still have some room for improvement, our findings nonetheless show that China's levels of income disparity have already reached alarming levels, and that they continue to grow," Li and his co-author, Luo Chuliang, wrote in China's Economic Research Journal.
