US Complicit in Saudi War Crimes 8-26-2018

26, August 2018          US Complicit in Saudi War Crimes


In examples of mind numbing hypocrisy, President Trump and his officials, ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, and his National Security Advisor John Bolton, like to stand in front of cameras and lecture other nations about the “need to change behavior”, while simultaneously  aiding and abetting Saudi Arabia’s war crimes in Yemen.

The 500-pound laser-guided MK 82 bomb, which the coalition dropped on August 9, killed 51 people, including 40 children. 


In May 2017, on his first stop abroad after taking office, Trump gleefully signed a $110 billion arms deal with the Saudi king in Riyadh unconcerned of the devastating impact on Yemini civilians.


British officials should also be targeted for public shaming, because of their government’s prominent role in supplying offensive munitions to the Saudi Kingdom. US economic sanctions are also responsible for the premature death of untold numbers of children around the world. This week, the UN and various civilian aid agencies warned that North Korea was facing a “food crisis” because Washington is stepping up its economic sanctions.

The medieval use of sieges on populations to starve them into submission is a heinous use of coercion and is an extreme violation of international humanitarian law.

On April 23, 2018, Saudi aircraft dropped cluster bombs made by Raytheon on a wedding in Yemen, killing 22 people, including many children. These weapons are banned by the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits all use, stockpiling, production and transfer of cluster munitions.

The Catholic Church, A criminal Enterprise 8-19-2018

19, August 2018              The Catholic Church, A criminal Enterprise

The widely publicized grand jury report in Pennsylvania on abused children has sent shock waves throughout the country and much of the world.

The real number of abused children could very well be in the thousands, since many records have been lost and many victims refused to come forward.

According to Pennsylvania Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, the history of abuse could only have been carried out without the criminal complicity of church officials in Pennsylvania and the Vatican.  

What makes these revelations even more egregious is that they are based on the dioceses’ own ‘Secret Archives,’ records.

Among the victims were vulnerable boys and girls, who were repeatedly subjected to sexual abuse. The perpetrators handed out large crosses as “rewards” to more compliant children who were then shunted around to other predator priests.

Bishops and other church officials not only covered up those crimes but they transferred accused priests to other churches and, in some cases, even promoted them.  

There is an urgent need to replicate this investigation to other states and the Catholic world at large. There is also an urgent need to lift the statute of limitations on rape and other sexual offenses to ensure that predator priests and their corrupt enablers are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The Vatican should lift the ban on ordination of women and eliminate the archaic, unnatural celibacy laws.

In the meantime children should NEVER be left alone with priests of any religion or religious demonization.

War crimes 8-16-2018

16, August 2018                                   War crimes

As many of our young kids are planning a return to school, the hopes and dreams of some kids in faraway places have been shattered forever, victims of Saudi-US-UK airstrikes.

It must have been a moment of unspeakable shock, terror and pain as 43 Yemini children travelling in a School Bus in Sa’ada, a city in northern Yemen were blown to pieces by a U.S. Mark 82 bomb. The bus was packed with young children – summer campers returning from a picnic.

So few of the innocent kids survived to talk about the horror because those that did are clinging to life, maimed or burned by the blast.

Why have aligned ourselves with the Saudi’s, the architects of the 9/11 attacks, a nation that funds terror incubators (madrassas) around the world? Why have we aligned ourselves with a nation who enslaves their women? What happened to our American values?

Monsanto & Roundup - BEWARE 8-15-2018

15, August 2018                 Monsanto & Roundup - BEWARE

California jurors deliberated for 3 days before awarding $289 million to a school groundskeeper, who developed cancer after using its weed killer, Roundup. Doctors say Dewayne Johnson, the plaintiff, is unlikely to live past 2020. The 46- year-old man was the first lawsuit to go to trial alleging Roundup causes cancer. Filed in 2016, it was fast-tracked due to the severity of Dewayne’s illness. When he first noticed legions forming on his skin he reached out to Monsanto to seek clarification whether Roundup could be contributing to his health problems.  Monsanto ignored his calls. During the legal discovery process, plaintiff lawyers learned that Monsanto had never tested the carcinogenicity of Roundup. Monsanto also released false articles in peer journals about the safety of the product. The jury at San Francisco’s Superior Court of California deliberated for three days before finding Monsanto had failed to warn Dewayne and other consumers of the cancer causing risks posed by its weed killers. Internal documents proved that Monsanto had known for decades that its products glyphosate and Roundup could cause cancer but withheld the information from the general public out of fear that its profits would be adversely impacted. Monsanto now faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States and possibly more from other countries. This is another example of a giant corporation using its financial muscle to silence critics and putting profits ahead of public safety.

Our head chopping Saudi friends 8-13-2018

13, August 2018                     Our head chopping Saudi friends

Earlier this year much of the world press gushed approvingly when Mohammed bin Salman, MBS, announced Saudi Arabia was moving out of the Stone Age and allowing Saudi women to drive without the presence of male companions. Saudi women have long suffered enormous oppression in a nation that insists they dress “modestly” with suffocating head to toe garments in the blistering desert heat. Men are excluded from this religious edict. Gender equality does not exist in Islam. 

Another of Saudi’s pastimes is to bury people in the ground up their necks and have people throw rocks at their heads in a barbaric attempt to terrify its 38 million people into total submission to the monarch’s absolute rule. Public flogging and chopping off hands (of thieves) is added to the mix to entertain the rulers of the Kingdom. Recently, Canada has lobbied for the release of prisoners languishing in Saudi’s dungeons whose only crime was to speak on out in support of human rights activists. Due process does not exist and many of these enormously courageous activists have  received savage public floggings.   Autocrat Mohammed bin Salman, MBS has much in common with wannabee autocrat President Trump. Both are thin skinned and cannot tolerate criticism. While President Trump cozies up to the head chopping Saudis (an average of 3 beheadings per week) he sought to pick a fight with Iran unaware of the history of betrayal and collusion with the UK in the theft of Iran’s oil.

Trump - twisted like a pretzel 8-7-2018

7, August                                     Trump - twisted like a pretzel

Donald and Don, Jnr Trump and his coconspirators have concocted so many false stories about the 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer with close ties with the Kremlin, that POTUS has twisted himself into a pretzel. The initially story centered on Russian child adoptions. This quickly morphed into “legitimate research” on Hillary Clinton insisting that Donald Trump was totally unaware of such a meeting. This was refuted by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who told Robert Mueller that Trump was fully aware of the meeting. Donald Trump suddenly had an “epiphany” and admitted he had full knowledge of the planned rendezvous and gave his approval.

Knocked against the ropes having visions of an orange jump suit, POTUS claimed "Collusion" isn't a crime. Collusion is a broad suite of crimes, working with a hostile enemy to affect the outcome of the American election.  The cult leader with is enablers, the Republican Party, are now circling the wagons trying to fend off the charge of the light brigade of prosecutors.

Caught with his sticky fingers in the cookie jar, POTUS is lashing out at the false media and trying to intimidate the prosecutors and witnesses and offering them bribes of a pardon.

The charges are mounting of corruption, obstruction, witness tampering, conspiracy, and treason. Why is this criminal still president?
