Genocide

(Via Pete’s Place).  Just how did the global warming myth begin?  It all started at Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, United States in 1975.  Scientists needed a way to keep population growth in check and, out of that conference 33 years ago, the global warming hoax was born.  Read the PDF linked up below for a four-page document on how, supposedly, the climate crisis was born.

Rwanda, the tiny land-locked African country smaller than Switzerland, has accused France, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, of complicity in the killing of a million men, women and children in the genocide of 1994. The accusation was made in a report prepared over two years by Rwanda's public prosecutor, Jean Mucyo, who took testimony from 166 witnesses. France has responded by cond

STOPPING the genocide in Darfur should be the No. 1 priority for anyone with a good conscience. The world community has said "not again on our watch" after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain have shown rare solidarity in wanti

Considering recent legislation in favor of reparations to blacks from corporations that have profited from financing slavery like JP Morgan Chase, Aetna and others, do you agree or disagree that modern African Americans deserve an apology for the wrongs committed against their ancestors during the slave trade in America?  Would you consider what happened to the slaves and those 6 million or more that were lost in the Atlantic during the Diaspora a genocide?

From The Centre for Research on Globalization : Rising worldwide food prices are resulting in shortages, riots and protests, promises by governments to expand food aid, expressions of concern by international bodies like the World Bank, and stress on household budgets even in developed countries like the U.S. Did this just "happen" or is there a plan? Plenty of commentators think they have it figured out and blame such factors as greater demand for high-end protein menus by the increasingly upscale populations of China and India , weather factors relating to global warming such as drought in Australia , and the diversion of animal feed crops such as corn and soybeans to ethanol production.

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has perpetuated a “genocide on the black community,” says a group of African-American pastors who claimed Thursday the birth control and abortion provider has had a racist agenda since its beginnings in 1921.

The word Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор) is the name given to the genocide of the Ukrainian people around the years 1932-1933. The name literally means "death by hunger". It is sometimes known as Ukraine's "forced famine" or called "Ukraine's Unknown Holocaust". Holodomor was a man-made famine carried out by Stalin and the Soviets to intentionally destroy the nationalistic Ukrainian people who posed a threat to the Soviet Union. The Soviets forcibly collectivized almost all of the Ukrainian farms in the "breadbasket of the world" and stole the peasant’s food, thereby creating a devastating famine. Even though the man-made famine affected other areas, such as the Volga Basin and the Northern Caucasus, the term Holodomor refers specifically to the genocide of the Ukrainians.Cause

Today is the anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide is unfortunately little known by most people in the U.S., even though more than one million Armenians died under Ottoman rule. If you are interested in learning more, watch this.

Bombs would fall under other circumstances, but when influential rabbis call for the total annihilation of the Palestinians the world watches without blinking, writes Saleh Al-Naami   "All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts." This was the religious opinion issued one week ago by Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the Tsomet Institute, a long-established religious institute attended by students and soldiers in the Israeli settlements of the West Bank. In an article published by numerous religious Israeli newspapers two weeks ago and run by the liberal Haaretz on 26 March, Rosen asserted that there is evidence in the Torah to justify this stand. Rosen, an authority able to issue religious opinions for Jews, wrote that Palestinians are

From: The Cambodian Memory Hole by Paul David Collins   The National Security Council (NSC) under Henry Kissinger's guidance put this document together in 1974. The thesis was quite simple: population growth in lesser-developed countries constitutes a threat to national security.

These countries are: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, The Philippines, Thailand, E

I know this is old news, but it was a huge story during my hiatus. At the time, I wound up stumbling upon this outstanding post by the always magnificent hilzoy at Obsidian Wings. The post itself is well worth a read because of the way in which it so utterly dispels any notion that Hillary Clinton pushed for intervention in Rwanda. But that's not really why I'm bringing this up now.I have always had something of an understanding of what happened in Rwanda, probably a better understanding than most Americans. But that understanding was extraordinarily limited to what was reported at the time in our media outlets.

This is the story of the first genocide of the 20th century â€" when more than one million Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Turks during World War I. The powerful documentary features never-before-seen historical footage of the events and key players of one of the major untold stories of the 20th century. It is narrated by Julianna Margulies and includes historical narrations by Ed Harris, Natalie Portman, Laura Linney and Orlando Bloom, among others. Filmed in the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Turkey and Syria, The Armenian Genocide features discussions with Kurdish and Turkish citizens in modern-day Turkey who speak openly about the stories told to them by their parents and grandparents.

The U.S. Azeris Network (USAN) joins the Azerbaijani-American communities across the country, as well as all Azerbaijanis and their friends across the globe and in the Republic of Azerbaijan, in commemorating the great tragedy that has befallen on the people of Azerbaijan through the 20th century, and specifically during the "March days" of 1918. The USAN is expressing its deep sorrow to all the victims and their families.On those tragic days in March and April 1918, the Armenian Dashnak forces have committed the biggest genocidal act of the time in the region, by slaughtering no less than 12,000 Azerbaijanis in Baku alone, and later continuing these acts in Guba, Shemakha, Shusha, Naxcivan and other cities across Azerbaijan, increasing the total of deaths to 30,000.

From Al-Jazeera : " ... This war has been too long, too painful, too costly, too evil, too inhumane and too unjust to simply be deemed an invasion, or even worse, a liberation. Today, right here, right now, I want this war to be recognised for what it truly is - a genocide against the Iraqi people. It is a corporate hate crime. It is not a "just" war. It does not have a "just" cause. It lacks legitimate authority, it was executed with all the wrong intentions, it was certainly not a last resort, the probability of success was slim and most of all the weaponry has gone beyond "smart bombs". If the international community recognises the conflicts in Bosnia, Armenia and Rwanda as genocides where human rights are replaced with the extermination of ethnic groups, then Iraq dese

Adolph Hitler and his legion of followers, better known as the Third Reich, are best known for the scores of bodies they accumulated on their path for what they considered to be Aryan supremacy. What most don’t know is that Hitler not only believed in racial supremacy, he also believed that culture, in its many forms, should also follow a certain guideline and norm. Starting January 31, 1933, the day Hitler rose to power in Germany, a massive campaign to change the face and destiny of Modern Art was undertaken. Genocide is perhaps best known as the systematic destruction of a particular race, but if you were to look up the term in the dictionary, it would become clear that genocide can also be the deliberate destruction of a political group as well as a cultural norm. In that regard, Hit

Even though Planned Parenthood celebrated Black History Month with a special feature on their web site, their commitment to the well-being of the black community is questionable, at best.Recently this guy, posing as a potential donor, gave a call to Planned Parenthood.

Of all man’s actions, little is as unsettling as genocide. All but the most concerted cynics are left in disbelief, and are forced to face inevitable questions: Why did this happen? How can so many men and women be complicit in so horrible an act? I’ve heard many rush to the same conclusion — that it’s in our genes. The methodical cruelty of an individual serial killer can be attributed to a demented mind, a screw come loose. This is an easy explanation for a society to accept. Movies, television, literature and, most importantly, the news, all confirm the fact: there are sick people who do sick things. When whole segments of society engage in mass murder, however, we extend that explanation, indicting human nature in the process. Genocide, it is argued, is but the realization of a call for death and destruction of the other. It’s said that the call comes from some dark corner of our genetic makeup. In his book The Third Chimpanzee, author Jared Diamond t

Well folks…I do know that Malaysia has a lot of dangerous pesticides and many people had used it to commit suicides but seriously, I have never heard of genocide being practiced here. Now all of a sudden, some Malaysians who probably think that they are smarter than everyone else claimed that we do have genocide in this country. What the heck!?Do they even know what genocide really means?Article 2 of United Nations Convention of the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime (CPPCG) of Genocide 1948 defined genocide as ‘any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group

Things are heating up as the Boston branch of the ADL is trying to get the company to take a more unambiguous position on Turkey's crimes during 1915.

I think it should start becoming obvious by now that Turkey isn't just going to run blood libels against Armenians now, but also against Jews, whom they added to their blame game last week: ISTANBUL (JTA) -- When a U.S. congressional committee approved a resolution recognizing the World War I-era massacre of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide, Turkey’s reaction was swift and harsh: Blame

So Nancy Pelosi was taken down a notch.It seems support for the Armenian Genocide resolution against Turkey is losing support fast among democrats. And it should.Realizing the fire they were playing with and its long term implications, democrats such as Murtha and Wexler pulled the reins on Pelosi's attempt to corner the white house into withdrawing from Iraq.I understand you want to end the war Pelosi. I want it to end too. But there is a right way and an incredibly dumb and dangerous way. Your judgment and vision is sorely lacking and you needed to be reined in.But I'm not surprised. Froth induced tunnel vision can be detrimental to one's effectiveness.

After the most recent Congressional non-binding resolution, every Democrat in office needs to be drug tested. In case you missed the news, the Democrats in Congress pushed a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire. Then, just as everyone predicted, Turkey recalled its Ambassador to Washington in a stroke of outrage. The people of Turkey are also furious.Did anyone care to notice that Turkey and Israel are our only allies in the Middle East? We use Turkey for strategic purposes in the Iraq War. We also protect the Kurds from Turkey by keeping this relationship strong.Now the moronic Democrats just angered Turkey with this meaningless resolution. Moreover, it could not have come at a worse time. This will lead to one of two things, if not both: 1) Turkey will cut logistical support; or 2) Turkey will attack the Kurds and then when we tell them not to, they will point to this resolution.These Democrats need to be removed from office, drug test

Some truths will not stay buried despite the efforts of ignoramuses like our current U.S. President, George W.: A U.S. House committee on Wednesday defied President George W.

I think yes. The UN defines genocide: .any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. If you read the Wiki on the Armenian genocide, I think it qualifies. Because the Armenians sympathized with the Russians (WWI is the worst war in history), the Turks tried to eliminate them. Another interesting part of the article: Because the convention required the support of the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc, it excluded actions undertaken by those nations. As a result, the convention excludes from the definition of

Dear President Bush,Please consult your dictionary. You will find this;gen·o·cide /ˈdʒɛnəˌsaɪd/ [jen-uh-sahyd]-nounthe deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.I personally side with Turkey on the Kurdish issue, but it is time to fess up to what they did to the Armenians 90 years ago. This is in no way a criticism of our Turkish friends. We accept that our German friends and Japanese friends committed brutual war crimes in the past.On the Kurdish issue, Turkey has every right to send troops into Northern Iraq if their territory is being attacked. We were warned this may happen before we decided to do our G.I. Joe testostorone soaked invasion of Iraq three years ago, but as usual, our government did not listen.And WE are the ones preaching restraint to the Turkish? US? Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

I’m fairly certain that the most dangerous people in the world are those that nihilistically believe that their group—especially one they find essential to their identity—is under attack. Many relatively powerless people with such fears, rational or otherwise, resort to terrorism. Having no ability to defend their group through conventional warfare, they strike anything and everything they see as endangering their desired order of the world. Some people who foster this type of fear are able to carry out traditional war, Hitler was. So was Abraham Lincoln in 1861, the American rebels in 1775, and the Israelis in 1967. There are literally hundreds of examples of wars that began with fear—likely as many examples as there are wars—so I’ll move on. Additionally, many with such fears are able to systematically kill the “other” that’s they see as threatening them, this is something Hitler did, but so did Pol Pot, Slobodan Milosevic, the Rw

Foreign Minister Ali Babacan said, “The passage of a resolution in the US Congress supporting Armenian claims of genocide at the hands of the late Ottoman Empire will irreparably damage the image of the United States and make the Jews too a target of criticism in Turkey”.The US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs is due to vote on the non-binding resolution on Wednesday. The resolution is widely expected to clear the committee and chances are very high that it will be approved in the House of Representatives if it is brought to the floor by speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The ADL caused such a scandal this past week by balking at proper recognition of Turkey's genocide of millions of Armenians in 1915 that it was forced to reverse its position. But it also led to some very eyebrow raising discoveries about what kind of positions various other Jewish organizations may have on the issue, now being discussed by the Jewish Exponent: The Anti-Defamation League's

As many of you probably know, there has been an ongoing genocide occuring in Darfur. It is as complex as it is horrific - though with one thing for certain: it must be stopped. The above film was put together by an advocacy group Stop Genocide Now, who are also documenting the journey of humanitarian workers as they navigate the people and region. I highly recommend checking out their website and joining the movement. As well, Amnesty International has a dedicated campign for Darfur with further information and action guidelines. Coincidentally, the question “How do we get beyond empty promises for Darfur?” was asked at the recent Youtube debates to the upcoming presidential candidates. Here’s what they said: Why do you think the Darfur conflict has been largely ignored by the West? What do you think is the best course of action to stop the genocide?

Old habits die hard: A yellow cross fixed by German NATO to the door of a Serbian house to show that Christians live there.Hiding Genocide in Kosovo: A Crime against God and Humanity by Iseult Henry. The American Council for Kosovo says this about the book:At a time when the Western powers -- foremost among them the United States -- prepare what they hope will be an endgame for their predetermined solution to the Serbian question, now comes a searing ray of truth that cuts through the fog of lies in which Kosovo has been shrouded.While Western policymakers (the U.S., EU, UN, NATO, OSCE, etc.) delude themselves that they are buying the goodwill of the Muslim world by the sacrifice of a small Christian community in Kosovo, the perpetrators know this is yet another step toward Islamic dominance of all Europe. This is a struggle for the soul and future not just for Kosovo, not just for Serbia, but for an entire continent.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press Writer Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there. "Well, look, if that's the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven't done," Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven't done. Those of us who care about Darfur don't think it would be a good idea," he said.(snip)"We have not lost a military battle in Iraq. So when people say if we leave, we will lose, they're asking the wrong question," he said. "We cannot achieve a stable Iraq with a military.

When most people think about mass genocide, they usually envision brutal dictators intentionally killing their own citizens. Few people, however, consider indirect causes of genocide, but these indirect causes are no less abominable. Without a doubt, the greatest indirect link to mass genocide is Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. Silent Spring was written in the 1960s after the use of DDT became very prevalent in America. DDT is the most effective and least expensive chemical in the world at killing mosquitoes. In fact, it once was very common for trucks to drive through neighborhoods spraying enormous quantities of the substance everywhere. However, since that time, research has proven that only small drops of DDT are needed to eradicate any mosquito problem. Nevertheless, instead of limiting the quantity of DDT used, Rachel Carson went even further. Based on faulty research, and anecdotal exaggerations, she wrote her book about the horrors of DDT and called for its total p

From breitbart.com: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the slaughter in Darfur was triggered by global climate change and that more such conflicts may be on the horizon, in an article published Saturday. “The Darfur conflict began as an ecological crisis, arising at least in part from climate change,” Ban said in a Washington Post opinion column.UN statistics showed that rainfall declined some 40 percent over the past two decades, he said, as a rise in Indian Ocean temperatures disrupted monsoons. “This suggests that the drying of sub-Saharan Africa derives, to some degree, from man-made global warming,” the South Korean diplomat wrote. “It is no accident that the violence in Darfur erupted during the drought,” Ban said in the Washington daily. When Darfur’s land was rich, he said, black farmers welcomed Arab herders and shared their water, he said. With the drought, however, farmers fenced in their land to prevent overgrazing. “F

Earlier this week, the Bush Administration spoke in favor of tougher economic sanctions for Sudan as a strategy for halting the genocide in Darfur. Skeptics of the proposal argue the economic sanctions will be ineffective without a.) UN Security Council support b.) support from the Chinese (who do big business with Sudan) or c.) because we are dependent upon Sudan’s oil exports. Yet again, it appears as if economic threats will fail in the face of business interests, lack of support from the International Community and an unnerving dependency on oil. Big business trumps diplomacy; oil trumps big business. John Ukec Lueth Ukec, Sudanese ambassador to the U.S. But, in an act of defiance, responding to the President’s threats, the Sudanese ambassador to the United States raised the stakes a bit higher: He threatened to cut off America’s supply of Coca-Cola.

The counter clerk is sweet as usual, and as she hears her named called she picks-up her coffee and proceeds to a quiet corner where she plugs in her laptop and gently sips her designer coffee in the warmth of this little piece of paradise.At the same time a women not so different from the previous cowers in a corner, covered in a blanket with her young child praying to God she won’t be heard, and subsequently found.

Source: CBS News online08 March 2007Less than ten miles from Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's mansion in Harare — the largest private residence on the African continent — Cleophus Masxigora digs for mice. On a good day, he told me, he can find 100 to 200. To capture the vermin, he burns brush to immobilize them, then kills them with several thumps of a shovel. This practice has become so widespread in Zimbabwe that, as a Zimbabwean journalist informed me, state-run television has broadcast warnings against citizens setting brush fires. Masxigora began hunting mice to support (and feed) his wife and three children soon after Mugabe began confiscating thousands of productive, white-owned farms in 2000, a policy that has since led to mass starvation. Not long ago, Zimbabwe, the "breadbasket of Africa," exported meat and produced what was widely considered to be Africa's finest livestock. Today, Masxigora tells me that each mouse nets $30 Zim dollars, about 12 cents, which makes

15 years ago, a group of students under a teacher named Tim Walz had predicted the Rwanda's genocide.  Tim taught at Alliance High School in Neb.  Tim assigned a project to his students, and the assignment was to figure out why people of the world committed the genocides.  Tim also asked the students to choose a country from the list of countries that would most likely be committing a genocide.  The students picked Rwanda, and a year later the prediction came true.  Rwanda was a genocide, and the people who were behind the killing of the Rwanda's president might have the same idea as the students in Tim's classroom.  They knew how to stir up the pot in Rwanda by killing off the president, and this allowed the Hutus committed a genocide by killing 800,000 Tut
