'ICC Refuses to Investigate Israeli War Crimes in Gaza' "World criminal court says it has no jurisdiction because Palestine is not a state"
"The International Criminal Court refused on a Tuesday to consider a war crimes tribunal against Israel for its military assault on the Gaza Strip in 2009 or for other possible criminal acts in occupied Palestine. Israel welcomed the news, but human rights groups condemned the announcement, including the legal justifications used by the ICC in its decision.
"This dangerous decision opens the ICC to accusations of political bias and is inconsistent with the independence of the ICC. It also breaches the Rome Statute which clearly states that such matters should be considered by the institution’s judges,” said Marek Marczyński, Head of Amnesty International’s International Justice campaign.
The attack on Gaza in late 2008 and early 2009 killed nearly 1,400 Palestinians and devastated vital infrastructure. Palestinians last year petitioned for full UN membership, but that effort has been blocked so far with the most fierce resistance coming from the United States and Israel.
"...It also breaches the Rome Statute, which clearly states that such matters should be considered by the institution's judges..."

BEIJING - Five people in southern China have been charged with intentional injury in the case of a Chinese teenager who sold a kidney so he could buy an iPhone and an iPad, the government-run Xinhua News Agency said on Friday.
The five included a surgeon who removed a kidney from a 17-year-old boy in April last year. The teen was from Anhui, one of China’s poorest provinces, where inhabitants frequently leave to find work and a better life elsewhere. He bought an iPhone and iPad, and when asked by his mother where he got the money, admitted selling a kidney.

Apple products are hugely popular in China, but are priced beyond the reach of many Chinese. IPhones start at 3,988 yuan, and iPads begin at 2,988 yuan.
Only a fraction of the people who need organ transplants in China are able to get them, leading to “transplant tourism”where patients travel overseas for such operations, and to a black market for human organs.

It has been long-known that the 'Great Firewall Wall of China' has attempted to block citizens from using the Tor network, by blocking access to some IP addresses or using HTTP header filters to weed out suspect traffic. Chinese authorities have recently increased the sophistication of their filtering tools, making it more difficult for citizens to browse the web freely, by blocking so-called Tor bridges.

Police capture “the most beautiful boss” after she fled with $79 million
'A woman dubbed ”the most beautiful boss” in East China’s
Jiangsu province hasbeen captured in Shanghai by police, local
authorities said on Thursday.'
'Police allege the woman fled in early March to escape loan debts
totaling 500 million yuan($79 million).'
'Gu Chunfang was arrested on Tuesday night while harboring in a rented
residence inShanghai, and she is now in criminal detention on charges of
illegally absorbing publicdeposits, the public security authority of Changshu,
Jiangsu province, said at a newsconference.'
I wondered how illegally absorbing publicdeposits works? But the last part made me wonder if it is 'Extortion and hostage taking' as the norm.
'Some lawyers said high-interest loans bring not only economic threats, but
also social harm,because they are often connected with illegal tactics.
“They sometimes take extreme approaches, such as taking control of
people’s personal freedom, illegal detention, and intimidating their families,
instead of legal proceedings,” said LiBenjin, a lawyer at Jiangsu Xuanbo Law
Firm.
He said high-interest loans are common in Shanghai and Jiangsu, but the
crackdown is not strong enough as some officials could be involved.'

Anonymous Hacks Chinese Government Websites
An update...
An Anonymous China Twitter account said more than 400 Web sites were hacked, including the sites of government bureaus in several Chinese cities, including the city of Chengdu.
Internet freedom is a major problem in China, where government censors delete thousands of messages online, social media networks require users to use their real names, and the online media is often stifled.
Chinese Web site has not recovered from Anonymous hack -
Anonymous And The War Over The Internet.
Hackers pledging allegiance to Anonymous claim to have launched a large cyberattack campaign against sites in China, and they're urging more hackers to join their cause. "One of the most interesting things about [the hacks] is the degree to which they undermine the conventional wisdom about the technological prowess of China's government," said Pund-IT's Charles King.
Hackers purporting to be members of the nebulous online hacker community Anonymous have reportedly hit almost 400 websites in China."China is seen by many as a repressive regime that severely restricts human rights and suffers from governmental corruption on a multitude of levels," Randy Abrams, an independent security consultant, told TechNewsWorld. "This sounds exactly like the type of target that Anonymous historically professes to engage in hacktivism against."

"One of the most interesting things about [the hacks] is the degree to which they undermine the conventional wisdom about the technological prowess of China's government," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld. "The country has been fingered repeatedly for sophisticated cyberattacks on foreign governments and corporations and the systematic theft of state secrets and intellectual property, all of which it has repeatedly denied."
The "thorough PWNing" by what appears to be "a loosely organized group of young hackers suggests that the country may be far less technologically bulletproof than has been supposed," King continued. -

Lithuania: Father Kills Pedophile Judge and Senior Politician
Horrified Drasius Keyds, 37, gunned down the perverted pair on Monday after police turned a deaf ear to his pleas for justice for his tortured tot.
Lithaunian newspaper has reported on the 22 Jan 2010
that Europol (which employs 620 staff and is based in Hague)in years of 2007-2008 have passed over information to their Lithuanian collegues of over 5 thousand IP addresses that were downloading child abuse videos . However this information was left to rott because the heads of Lithunian justice system have seen that the pedofiles links lead to the courts, parliament and presidency palace.
Europol doesnt have any direct rights to arrest. LL sources state that this information contains evidence of sexual abuse of Ked’s daughter. However newspaper sources state that instead of getting that evidence the courts will try to gather evidence against judge Mrs Neringa Venckiene and her husband judge Aidas Venckus to plot the murder of Jonas Furmanavicius and Violeta Naruseviciene.

'Internet addresses in Lithuania who downloaded child abuse images, but this information was not used because the prosecutor's managers saw that the thread goes even pedophilia to justice, the president and parliament'
Google tanslate.Duke wrote:All the story, about the pedophile scandal in Lithuania.
The investigation was soon initiated; however, when it turned out what men were being accused of the paedophilia, the investigation was discontinued abruptly and illegally. One of the named persons was Jonas Furmanavičius, the judge of the Kaunas Regional Court, the second – businessman and politician Andrius Ūsas, and the last one was not identified and was referred to as Aidas by the girl.'
Criminal Code (on the sexual abuse of young children) had to be made against those suspected in this criminal case long time ago. This resolution of the Seimas and the conclusions were announced publicly throughout Lithuania and were also presented to the President. These documents of the Seimas were never disputed or appealed against. This means that the conclusions and the resolution of the Seimas are lawful, valid and can be ignored neither by law-abiding officers nor by the citizens of Lithuania.
'The story goes something like this: A 3 year old girl was pr0stuted by her own mother, to 3 sick men, for 4k Euro per month. Those 3 men just happened to be High ranking members of the LT Goverment.
When the Father found out, he went to the authorities, but ran into a wall. To make the story short, he was framed, several people got killed hit-style, and he was blamed for all of it…
Then in early April, his body was found tortured, and dumped in Mud… To make matters worse, the “Court” awarded the custody of the little girl BACK to her Pimp mother, in order for her to be either killed or pr0stituted again…' -

“We must ensure online video game systems do not become a digital playground for dangerous predators. That means doing everything possible to block sex offenders from using gaming networks as a vehicle to prey on underage victims,” said Schneiderman in a statement. “I applaud all the companies participating in this first-of-its-kind initiative for taking online safety seriously and purging their networks of sex offenders.

Dominic Raab MP, who made public the Information Commissioner's report, said it was "a plan to privatise Big Brother surveillance".
He said it "fundamentally changes the nature of the relationship between the state and the citizen", and turns every individual "into a suspect".
Even if the move is announced in the Queen's Speech, any new law would still have to make it through Parliament, potentially in the face of opposition in both the Commons and the Lords.
The Internet Service Providers Association said any change in the law must be "proportionate, respect freedom of expression and the privacy of users".Duke wrote:The hacking group Anonymous is alleged to have blocked the Home Office website, apparently in response to government plans for email surveillance.

From there, find a suitable space such as a garage or workspace to collect the computers and to use the space as an upgrade/installation center. “Internet access at these locations is a must.”
Training class would be necessary to teach volunteers. With enough support, this idea could educate the masses, targeting those that do not have the means or ability to educate themselves.
While reading through this it may sound complicated, but it’s not. Collect computers that need repair, bring them to the acquired space, then download the necessary software — then distribute the repaired computers to the needy.

A Fox Orlando affiliate decribed Neo-Nazis as “a civil rights group” on a television broadcast and online. The group of Neo-Nazis, known as the National Socialist Movement, has been conducting armed patrols of the streets of Sanford, Florida, the town where Trayvon Marting was shot dead.
Fox Orlando Affiliate Calls Neo-Nazis ‘A Civil Rights Group’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyzDgsi5dIU
The National Socialist Movement (NSM) is one of the largest and most prominent neo-Nazi groups in the United States. The group is notable for its violent anti-Jewish rhetoric, its racist views and its policy allowing members of other racist groups to join NSM while remaining members of other groups. Until 2007, NSM members protested in full Nazi uniforms, now traded in for black “Battle Dress Uniforms.”
The group openly idolizes Adolf Hitler, described in NSM propaganda as, “Our Fuhrer, the beloved Holy Father of our age … a visionary in every respect.” NSM says only heterosexual “pure-blood whites” should be allowed U.S. citizenship and that all nonwhites should be deported, regardless of legal status. As Schoep put it: “The Constitution was written by white men alone. Therefore, it was intended for whites alone.”
When ridiculous becomes the norm?
Some quotes?
'This is odd...Trayvon was black, Zimmerman is Hispanic/Jewish. What makes it so odd is that groups like these hate ALL of the above. These maggots don't even know who they're "defending" here. They're just there praying for violence to erupt. I hope people don't give them the satisfaction.'
'Lemme see. Nazis are a civil rights group, climate change is a hoax, Obama is a Muslim and gayness is a choice. Got it. '
'They are a civil rights group trying to prevent racial unrest as much as my leaving lit candles and piles of gasoline soaked rags around my house would be to prevent a house fire.'
'Calling this bunch of bigot's a civil right's is about as accurate as calling the Klan an Afro-American group. The NSM was founded in 1974 after the demise of the American Nazi Party which had trouble building their membership, probably because of their name. They have around 400 members and are lead by "commander" Jeff Schoep, who discovered at 10 y/o he was a Nazi. He was arrested during a burglary attempt to steal $4000 dollars of computer equipment while having his girlfriends 4 young children in the getaway car. His group, as well as other supremacist groups throughout the country are watched closely by the DHS and FBI. They show up at many events where riots may occur mostly to promote their cause and gain new members, preferably teens with little education. No surprise there. The only people they would help on any occasion are heterosexual whites with European ancestry and not a drop of Jewish blood. These are also the requirements for membership into their perfectly legal, but sick group. Everybody else they HATE. Period.'

The bizarre case started when six cows wandered onto Rodney Brossart's 3,000 acre farm. Brossart, an alleged anti-government "sovereignist," believed he should have been able to keep the cows, so he and two family members chased police off his land with high powered rifles.

If you are a Too Big To Fail bank and you get caught with $300 Billion plus in drug money you get a slap on the wrist, but if you aren't Too Big To Fail and you get busted smoking a joint you go to jail, lose your freedom, and Wells Fargo makes a profit. Welcome to the new slavery.
Last year, Wells Fargo got hit with a slap on the wrist and a fine they could easily afford for laundering $378.4 Billion dollars of drug money for the Mexican drug cartels. If you're keeping score at home that means if you get busted smoking a joint you go to jail, but if you get busted laundering billions of dollars in drug cartel money you get a slap on the wrist. Now, here's the catch, if you get caught smoking pot and go to jail, Wells Fargo will make a profit off of that too thanks to America's growing for-profit prison system.
STUNNING! Wells Fargo launders Mexican drug cartel money, then invests in for-profit prisons
As Wells Fargo has grown over the years, using its bailout funds to gobble up rival Wachovia and expand to the East Coast, so has the U.S. prison population. By 2008, one in 100 American adults were either in jail or in prison – and one in nine black men between the ages of 20 and 34, many simply for non-violent offenses, justice not so much blind as bigoted. Overall, more than 2.3 million people are currently behind bars, up 50 percent in the last 15 years, the land of the free now accounting for a full quarter of the world’s prisoners.
These developments are not unrelated.
A driving force behind the push for ever-tougher sentences is the for-profit prison industry, in which Wells Fargo is a major investor. Flush with billions in bailout money and an economic system designed to siphon wealth from the working class to the idle rich

The cellphone photos they took, which have since ignited a social media firestorm, appear to show the former Massachusetts governor expose himself, “masturbating for all to see.” The balcony height of downtown Springfield’s Marriott exposed Mr. Romney’s public sex act, they say, to a crowd including children as young as five.

(a) something out of Philip K. D!ck's Minority Report;
(b) the subject of of a Department of Homeland Security research project that has recently entered testing;

The vote followed the debate on amendments, several of which were passed. Among them was an absolutely terrible change to the definition of what the government can do with shared information, put forth by Rep. Quayle. Astonishingly, it was described as limiting the government's power, even though it in fact expands it by adding more items to the list of acceptable purposes for which shared information can be used. Even more astonishingly, it passed with a near-unanimous vote. The CISPA that was just approved by the House is much worse than the CISPA being discussed as recently as this morning.
