Private donations and volunteer efforts are pouring into Haiti from all over the globe—especially from the United States. This is a good thing, right? So, why am I troubled?

War Criminals: Arrest Warrants Requested Pravda
Professor of Law Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois College of Law in Champain, United States of America, has issued a Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court against the above-mentioned for their practice of “extraordinary rendition” (forced disappearance of persons and subsequent torture) in Iraq and for criminal policy which constitutes Crimes against Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute which set up the ICC.
As such, the Accused (mentioned above) are deemed responsible for the commission of crimes within the territories of many States signatories of the Rome Statute, in violation of Rome Statute Articles 5 (1)(b), 7 (1)(a), 7 (1)(e), 7 (1)(g), 7(1)(h), 7(1)8i) and 7(1)(k). Despite the fact that the USA is not a signatory State, the ICC has the jurisdiction to prosecute under Article 12 (2)(a) of the Rome Statute.
This Article stipulates that the Court may exercise its jurisdiction if one or more States in which the conduct in question occurred has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court. Furthermore, the forced disappearance of persons and torture in deemed by the Rome Statute as a Crime against Humanity, one which is still ongoing.
The Exercise of Jurisdiction may be activated under Article 13, with respect to a crime committed under Article 5 if the Prosecutor has initiated an investigation. Professor Boyle, in his issue of complaint, respectfully requested that such an investigation be initiated.
The issue of complaint states “about 100 human beings have been subjected to enforced disappearances and subsequent torture by the Accused”, adds that some of them could still be alive today, and that an investigation could save these lives. Regarding those whose enforced disappearances led to their deaths, the Complaint requests a process of explanation and clarification for what would be a murder investigation.

Oliver Stone: Hitler was 'enabled by Western bankers'... BANGKOK, Thailand — Adolf Hitler was a psychopath and a monster but rose to power thanks to big business leaders and other supporters who appreciated his vow to destroy communism and control workers, Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone said Monday. Stone, who is working on a 10-part documentary on the 20th century titled "The Secret History of the United States," said the German dictator was "enabled by Westernbankers" and managed to "seduce" Germany's military industrial complex. "Hitler is a monster. There is no question. I have no empathy for Hitler at all. He was a crazy psychopath," Stone told reporters in the Thai capital. "But like Frankenstein was a monster, there was a Dr. Frankenstein. He is product of his era." Stone was in Bangkok to give a lecture to high school students on the role of film in peace-building as part of a visit organized by the Vienna-based International Peace Foundation. He said the aim of his documentary, which two historians are helping him with, was to offer a fuller understanding of the 20th century and how some of those lessons may be relevant to President Barack Obama in 2010. "What has America become? How can we in America not learn from Germany in the 1930s," the Oscar-winning director asked. Earlier in the day, Stone told about 300 students that his 1991 movie "JFK," was his most controversial to date and that the United States remains in denial over the possibility that someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald could have assassinated John F. Kennedy. Stone said exploring alternative theories over the JFK assassination remains too sensitive for those in the media or academia who "would be endangering their careers and their position." "To this day, many key Americans in power are in total denial about this story," Stone said. "They don't even want to know about the possibility that he was killed by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald. It is a national fairy tale." "JFK" ridicules the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald acted alone and suggests a massive conspiracy. Stone's film centred on a theory by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison that a CIA-led mutiny killed the president and the plotters walked away unscathed. Garrison's theories went to court in 1967, but Clay Shaw, the alleged "evil genius" behind the assassination, was acquitted. Stone said Monday he thought it was "a good thing" to revisit the JFK assassination. But he came under fire from the historians and film reviewers who contended Stone had fudged facts, invented characters and elevated speculation to truth to support his burning belief that the killing was a high-level government conspiracy. "It's an amazing story and I did it," Stone said. "I thought I would be respected for it, and I was lambasted in the establishment press. I was called a myth-maker, a propagandist. I didn't see it coming. I thought the Kennedy murder was safe." Stone is famous for several other movies, including the Vietnam War films "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Platoon," which won four Oscars, including best picture and best director. |

Whether or not you buy into the whole war on terrorism, it is being used to launch wars of aggression and further expand the American empire. It is also very much intertwined with the whole process of deep North American integration and plans for a continental security perimeter.  Could Vancouver 2010 be the next 9/11?January 25, 2010 WARNING: I now believe I have reasonable grounds to bring into suspicion that there may be a “false flag” terrorist attack during the Olympics in Canada, which take place in Vancouver and Whistler from Feb. 12th until Feb. 28th. I have compiled the following suspicious activity that I have found through various media sources. I’m not going to go as deep into each point as I could, and I will try to source information as best as I can, but some of it also comes from my own sources which I am not able to provide a link to. WARNING SIGNS: 1.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7k_OBjhfFs 2.) They are throwing around the term “Al-Qaeda” as if they are educated on the topic and are clearly trying to scare people by using the same methods as they always do. Explanation: The method they use works like this, first they cause people to recall a traumatic incident (9/11/01). By suggesting and even warning about the possibility it could happen again, they help to reinforce peoples’ fears of having to experience another traumatic incident. In doing this, they have their victims access their subconscious memory with the conscious mind, and it encounters resistance automatically. This happens because when a traumatic event occurs, the mind naturally attempts to figuratively construct what is sometimes called an “amnesia wall” around that event to block it out, this is a way our mind helps us to deal with fear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv-VgPil7b4 3.) The Prime Minister has also been given the sole responsibility for making the call to shoot down any highjacked aircraft, something normally taken on by other people. This is the same as before 9/11 where Dick Cheney was given control of the military air defenses for a short time and he denied the request to shoot down the planes when they had 90 minutes to do so. Strangely enough, regardless of the build-up of security and raising the threat level to “severe”, they double-think and claim to not be worried about it that much and are even allowing weaknesses in security to be exploited through the media. They’ve even been hiring people with zero background in security to help run security at the games, people who will not have enough time to train properly to do their job. http://tvnewslies.org/html/9_11_facts.html 4.) 5.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sePNNy8wjgE 6.) 7.) http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=164395 8.) 9.) http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-01/24/c_13149134.htm 10.) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/25/world/25binladen.html 11.) In addition to this, a source of my own says that the wealthiest neighborhoods of the Vancouver area (which are also the least affected by Olympic traffic) have chosen to close their schools due to traffic concerns. For those not as wealthy – those that actually live and attend school very nearby the Olympic games – school may just continue as always. My source in Vancouver speaking about school closings: “One last thing to note – speaking of the elite – the wealthy and most powerful neighborhood of Vancouver is West Vancouver, located on the North Shore next to North Vancouver. (This is the city you have to drive through to get from Vancouver to Whistler). We have many friends in this area too, due to work, and we noticed one very strange thing. The entire West Van school district has closed down for the entire games. They started school 3 weeks early in order to accommodate the Olympic break. Why, this is strange. Although traffic has to go through a small part of West Vancouver (from downtown over the lions gate bridge to Taylor Way, then on to the #1hwy northbound to Whistler), it’s not that big of a disruption to schools. Most of them are located well away from the Park Royal area and Hwy that they won’t be effected by the excess traffic. No Olympic events are scheduled to take place in West Vancouver, unlike other surrounding cities who are host venues and located much further away from the downtown village (like Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, all 30-45 mins away, while West Van is only 5-10). They feel that the Olympics will be too much for the students, and they ARE THE ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT TO BE LET OUT! No other area, even those more involved like Richmond, also home to the airport, have closed their school districts. NOT EVEN NORTH VANCOUVER, who is right beside West Van on the north shore have done this. Many of our friends kids attend elementary & high schools there, both public & private, and it is said that 85% of the students’ parents were planning to be “gone” for the games, to Mexico, Hawaii, etc. This is why the school board complied and let the whole school out, seems the kids of the wealthy will not be around during the games… this is VERY strange to all of us here. Sorry I don’t have a link, but I know at least 15 of those kids are on my FB as well as I know at least 8 of the parents personally.” 12.) http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/terrorist-who-plotted-to-kill-canadian-pm-walks-away-free_100307152.html 13.) That’s all I can remember that I’ve come up with at the moment, but I will be posting any relevant information to my Facebook group page “The Anti New World Order Group”. Anyone with relevant information is welcome to bring it to my attention through Facebook.

  Yellowstone Volcano Observatory There have been 1,271 located earthquakes in the swarm of magnitude 0.5 to 3.8 Monday, January 25, 2010 12:27 PM MST (Monday, January 25, 2010 1927 UTC) Yellowstone Volcano 44°25'48" N 110°40'12" W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m) Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL Current Aviation Color Code: GREEN The earthquake swarm on the northwest edge of Yellowstone Caldera that began on January 17, 2010 continues. There is still no indication of premonitory volcanic or hydrothermal activity. PRESS RELEASE FROM YVO PARTNER UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SEISMOGRAPH STATIONS Released: January 25, 2010 12PM MST This release is a continuation of information updates building upon our three previous press releases on the ongoing earthquake swarm on the west side of Yellowstone National Park. The University of Utah Seismograph Stations reports that a pair of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 and 3.1 occurred in the evening of January 24, 2010 in Yellowstone National Park. The first event of magnitude 3.0 occurred at 11:09 PM and was followed by a magnitude 3.1 event at 11:21 PM. Both shocks were located around 9 miles to the southeast of West Yellowstone, MT and about 10 miles to the northwest of Old Faithful, WY. Typically, events of this magnitude are felt in and around the Park, but there were no reports of these particular events being felt. These two earthquakes are part of an ongoing swarm in Yellowstone National Park that began January 17, 2010 (1:00 PM MST). The largest earthquake in the swarm as of 9 AM MST, January 25, 2010, has been a magnitude 3.8. There have been 1,271 located earthquakes in the swarm of magnitude 0.5 to 3.8. This includes 11 events of magnitude larger than 3, with 97 events of magnitude 2 to 3, and 1,163 events of magnitude less than 2. There have been multiple personal reports of ground shaking from observers inside the Park and in surrounding areas for some of the larger events (for felt reports, please visit http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/dyfi/). Earthquake swarms are relatively common in Yellowstone. The swarm events are likely the result of slip on pre-existing faults and are called tectonic earthquakes and are not thought to be caused by underground movement of magma. Currently there is no indication of premonitory volcanic or hydrothermal activity, but ongoing observations and analyses will continue to evaluate these different sources. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The National Weather Service said snowfall ranged from 1 to 4 inches, but winds were blowing up to 35 mph, with gusts near 45 mph. Winter storm in Midwest brings fierce winds Associated Press – Mon Jan 25, 9:10 pm ET Crews in the Dakotas, Nebraska and Iowa were continuing efforts to restore electricity to about 13,000 people, mostly in rural areas. Conditions were so bad in North Dakota, that officials advised people not to travel at all. Portions of Interstate 94 were closed in the southern part of the state because of zero visibility and a multi-vehicle crash. Interstate 29 was closed between Grand Forks and the Canadian border and from Watertown, S.D., to the North Dakota border. Iowa officials closed a nearly 80-mile stretch of Interstate 35 from Ames to Clear Lake after a pileup that the state Department of Public Safety said involved as many as 40 vehicles. There was no immediate word on injuries. In northeast Nebraska and south central and southwest Minnesota, some state highways were closed. About 5,000 people in North Dakota, 5,400 in Iowa and about 200 in northeastern Nebraska remained without power. Outages were more severe in South Dakota, where about 7,900 people still had no electricity. More than 10,000 utility poles were believed to be down in the Dakotas and Iowa. National Guard To Help Minnesota Counties Hit By Storm 01/25/2010 4:43 PM - Officials in Minnesota are calling out the National Guard and closing state highways in south-central and southwestern parts of the state due to a winter storm. Gov. Tim Pawlenty activated the Guard on Monday afternoon to help counties in southern and west-central Minnesota with providing shelter and other services. Armories in Olivia, Marshall, and St. James have been opened for stranded travelers. Earlier Monday, state officials said they were pulling snowplows off roads and warned the roads would soon become impassable due to blowing snow. A blizzard warning was also in effect for northwest Minnesota until early evening and for western and south-central areas through midnight. Crashes forced authorities to shut down the interstate from the South Dakota border to Luverne, Minnesota just after noon on Monday, Jan 25. Seal Beach (Allen J.
