Rwandan woman stripped of U.S. citizenship after lying about role in genocide

Posted on by

“Witnesses described Munyenyezi conducting selections of who would die according to whether identity cards said a person was Tutsi or Hutu.  ‘If I’m checking IDs at roadblocks, knowing that person is going to be clubbed to death, I’m as responsible as if I wielded the machete myself,’ said Capin.  Prosecution witnesses included Consolee Mukeshimana who described Munyenyezi as checking identity cards at the roadblock for two hours on one occasion, and directing Tutsis to their deaths.”

Georgia rushes to complete executions before lethal drug supply runs out

Posted on by

“Georgia’s difficulties procuring execution drugs is a reflection of the gradual stranglehold that is being put on the US death penalty by authorities and companies around the world refusing to act as accomplices in the death sentence. The European Commission, following unilateral action by the UK, has imposed restrictions on the export of medicines to all US corrections departments.  One of the leading manufacturers of pentobarbital, the Danish firm Lundbeck, has introduced tough restrictions on the distribution of the drug to prevent it falling into the hands of US executioners.”

Man With Down Syndrome Killed By Police Over $11 Movie Ticket

Posted on by

“A 26-year-old man with Down Syndrome was killed in police custody after refusing to leave a movie theater or buy another $11 movie ticket.  A medical examiner in Baltimore ruled that the man, Robert Ethan Saylor, died of asphyxia while in police custody. The death has been ruled a homicide.  On January 12, the man with Down Syndrome was forcibly removed from the Regal Cinemas Westview Stadium 16 after he refused to either leave the theater after a movie ended or buy another ticket. He was handcuffed and then suffered what the sheriff’s office referred to as a ‘medical emergency.'”

Obama rebukes North Korea over nuke test and calls for ‘swift’ and ‘credible’ action

Posted on by

“US President Barack Obama said Tuesday that North Korea’s ‘provocative’ nuclear test did not make it more secure and called for ‘swift’ and ‘credible’ international action in response.  Obama also vowed in a written statement that Washington would remain vigilant in the face of the underground detonation by the Stalinist state and steadfast in its defense commitments to its allies in Asia.  ‘The danger posed by North Korea’s threatening activities warrants further swift and credible action by the international community,’ Obama said, ahead of an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council called for later on Tuesday.”

Better deterrents put Somali pirates’ business under strain

“Soaring insurance premiums and the threat to crews have forced shipowners to change their ways.  Ships have been made harder to attack by a range of measures known as BMP, or best management practice. They cruise faster and practise evasive manoeuvres.  More than a quarter of vessels now carry armed security guards. The shipping industry used to oppose this, fearing that armed guards would escalate violence. But not a single vessel with guards has been boarded. Usually a warning shot is enough to deter the pirates.  Lieut-Commander Sherrif says: ‘The pirates go to sea to make money, not die in a firefight.'”

‘Liberty Dollar’ Creator Awaits His Fate Behind Bars

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/LIBERTY-1-articleInline1.jpg

“His name is Bernard von NotHaus, and he is a professed ‘monetary architect’ and a maker of custom coins found guilty last spring of counterfeiting charges for minting and distributing a form of private money called the Liberty Dollar.  Described by some as ‘the Rosa Parks of the constitutional currency movement,’ Mr. von NotHaus managed over the last decade to get more than 60 million real dollars’ worth of his precious metal-backed currency into circulation across the country — so much, and with such deep penetration, that the prosecutor overseeing his case accused him of ‘domestic terrorism’ for using them to undermine the government.”

President Romney Can Thank Obama for His Permanent Robotic Death List

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Romney_and_Obama1.jpe

“It’s a good thing that Mitt Romney endorsed President Obama’s counterterrorism agenda. Should he win the election in two weeks, Romney will inherit an institutionalized, bureaucratic machine for using lethal robots to target and kill suspected terrorists and their allies. Killing Osama bin Laden was a one-time event; this ‘Disposition Matrix’ is Barack Obama’s real national-security legacy.  Despite bin Laden’s death and the supposed disruption of al-Qaida’s old leadership, the Matrix keeps adding names, as fast or faster than the drones drop bodies.”

Little Rock airport to be renamed for Bill and Hillary Clinton

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/clintonsx-inset-community2.jpg

“Arkansas’ busiest airport will soon bear the name of one of the state’s most famous couples.  In an unanimous vote, the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission move to rename the Little Rock National Airport to honor former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The official title will be the ‘Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.’  ‘The Clintons continue to have a major impact on our state and our local economy, and we believe renaming our airport in their honor is a fitting way to recognize their service and their position in Arkansas and our nation’s history,’ Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission Chairman Jim Daily said.”
