‘ICC is the enemy of liberty’
“The ICC is the enemy of liberty as understood and practiced by the Western institutions since the Enlightenment onwards. The moral absolutism at the core of the ICC is immoral.”
Srdja Trifkovic, foreign affairs editor at the Chronicles magazine
Trifkovic argues that the accusations are a fig leaf which is supposed to hide the essence of this project – which is to treat Assad and his government as members of ‘joint criminal enterprise.’ “‘Joint criminal enterprise’ is an all-embracing quasi-legal term used by the Yugoslav war tribunal to indict everybody within the hierarchy and lower down the scale,” he added.
The view is supported by journalist Neil Clark who fears that what's happening here is a political move to put more pressure on Damascus.“If there are war crimes being committed on both sides, let's prosecute both sides. All we're getting again is talk about indicting President Assad and leading Syrian officials. It's all wrong. If there's evidence of war crimes against rebel commanders, let them be indicted,”

"Provocative" Blast Tests International Law's Limits
North Korea's latest nuclear test highlights the limits of what the United Nations and its member states can do when an outlaw nation is determined to run roughshod over existing international laws.
Policymakers and diplomats in Washington, DC and at the UN are scrambling for a way to respond to the young dictator Kim Jong Un's latest delinquency.President Obama called the detonation a "highly provocative act" following North Korea's December 12 ballistic missile launch which "violates North Korea's obligations under numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions... and increases the risk of proliferation."*
That North Korean 'tantrum'

That
North Korean 'tantrum' is the act of a nation which has been victimized
for decades - first by splitting it up by force, then the killing of
30% of its population, then interference with domestic power production
on terms agreed to by 140 nations in the NPT * by unilateral economic
sanctions of ever increasing severity...and by abrogation of the
agreement which would have allowed North Korea to alleviate its energy
shortage by other means in 2003. The best response to accusations was
made when the UN Security Council was chastising their ambassador for
nuclear tests some years ago. "There have been 2054 nuclear tests. We
have made 2. You have done the rest. Yet WE are irresponsible? What
hypocrisy." So we have managed to cut off the Third Pillar of the NPT*,
run a blockade ( an act of war ) for decades, and chastise them for
being unreasonable while starving and without the means to better their
lot. Nuclear Detonation Timeline "1945-1998" ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lquok4Pdk

![3 Ingredients To Stop Feeding You and Your Kids
@[189886954390218:274:Wake Up World]
A front label might say ‘all natural,’ or ‘packed with vitamins and minerals,’ but that doesn’t mean it isn’t filled with toxic and potentially harmful ingredients. It’s up to us to educate ourselves and vote with our dollars – if enough people do, manufacturers will be forced to listen.
These three ingredients are a great place to start:
1.) High Fructose Corn Syrup
It’s hard to find a processed food without High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), although it’s easier than it used to be.
The Corn Growers Association and other special interest groups that have a direct monetary stake in the continuance of turning genetically modified corn into a sweetener that populates seemingly every product on every grocery store aisle are constantly insisting that HFCS is the same as sugar or any other sweetener – except that it’s not.
Part of what makes HFCS such an unhealthy product is that it is metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar, and, because most fructose is consumed in liquid form, its negative metabolic effects are significantly magnified.
HFCS has been linked to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, HFCS is made from genetically modified corn, which brings on a host of other issues.
2.) Aspartame
Aspartame (NutraSweet, Spoonful, Equal-Measure, and Equal) is 180 times sweeter than sugar. It’s composed of three primary ingredients – phenylalanine (50 percent), aspartic acid (40 percent), and methanol (wood alcohol – 10 percent). Discovered accidentally when a G.D. Searle chemist testing an anti-ulcer drug licked his finger after spilling one of the chemicals he was using.
The problem is not so much the amino acids in aspartame, but the ratios and chemical manipulation involved, which causes the body to break them down into free amino acids. Unable to recognize them in that form, it tries to metabolize them anyway, causing the central nervous system to flood and (potentially) causing brain neurons to fire excessively. This condition, called ‘excitotoxicity,’ can cause a whole host of physical and neurological problems. Additionally, the menthol in aspartame, having no natural binder (in nature, menthol is bound to pectin), turns into cancer-causing formaldehyde in the body.
3.) Monosodium Glutamate
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), another excitotoxin added by the ‘big-food’ manufacturers as a ‘flavor-enhancer’ designed to mask the lack of ‘real’ ingredients in processed food, has been linked to brain damage, migraines, ADD, ADHD, obesity, and other health issues. MSG is well known for its prevalence in Chinese food, but it’s also found in certain processed soups, snack foods, and even infant formula and baby food! MSG can be tough to avoid because the ingredient labels aren’t always clear.

Climate Craziness of the Week: Harvard’s McElroy: ‘Bridges may be in the wrong place’ for climate change
the author, Michael McElroy, goes on to connect the long debunked “climate change caused the Arab Spring uprising”, when it was actually local politics and food prices resulting from those politics caused it. The stupid, it burns like a supernova in this article which is chock full of coulds, maybes, and might be’s. And, get this line:
“We don’t have definitive answers, but our report raises these questions, because what we are saying is that these conditions are likely to be more normal than they were in the past,”Your comment is awaiting moderation.
As you say “Teh Stupid, It Burns”
Certainly Australians are no fan of an energy tax imposed on them
against their will ( reporting resistance is verboten ). And one
unbelievable consequence of carbon sequestration flogging is shutting
down of farms. http://www.cleanenergyfuture.gov.au/carbon-farming-helps-australian-agriculture-power-ahead/
Sidebar to that is interesting when one thinks of G Dubya Bush’s
vacation antics in Texas : it seems brushing is penalized in both
Australia and the U.S. on the basis of sequestration concerns : so there
are no firebreaks and homes are lost. But that’s caused by global
warming causing drought. Yikes.
