POPSConvert The UN Building Into NYC Homeless Shelter
wallowing in desperate poverty, with crime so rampant and violent that the police won’t even venture into them. And you have the nerve to come here and investigate us ? The United Nations has become nothing less than a shabby podium used by corrupt third-world demagogues to do what they could never do in any other way - attempt to destroy and bring into disrepute the United States. We’re being nibbled to death by ducks. And we’re letting it happen. Not only that, we’re paying for it. I’d like to see the Obama Administration tell the U.N. to pound sand (but they won’t). Take your investigation to somewhere that needs it, and that list is endless. North Korea, Darfur, Tibet, Cuba….I could go on almost ad infinitum about third world hell holes where people have no rights whatsoever, where food is something that may or may not come your way today - or tomorrow. Where “housing” consists of whatever you can scrape together to try to keep out the cold, where women . .

POPSIn April, 2008, Obama Says Bush Should Boycott Olympics If.... What goes around comes around.... I guess Candidate Obama told Bush to use the Olympics' opening ceremony as a diplomatic pressure point against the Chinese. Wasn't it Bush that got Chicago on the short list to begin with? The Olympic committee isn't going to give President Obama a chance to take his own advice in 2016..

POPSPeace in the Congo - When? The Congo is blessed with wonderful people and resources that ought to enrich them. Greed by corrupt corporations and individuals over those resources has driven political instability since the 1960's. That instability allowed terrorists from Rwanda and Uganda to fuel violence in the border areas. Like Darfur in the Sudan, if we look aside, the violence picks up again. Please don't look away until the world agrees to stay the course and end the violence.

POPSKatrina Woes Fatigue Syndrome Why is it so difficult to stay on course? Why can no one in power keep their promises? Why does everyone keep blaming someone else? Why, I ask myself, does this seem to be related to the Congo, Darfur, Burma, Gaza, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador?

POPSThe Other Ongoing World Shame: Darfur As the author indicates, when you have lots of "show," there is often very little "go." Take away all the glitter and false starts and Darfur is still one of the leading killing grounds in the world. Is Sudan's oil worth that much?

POPSAnother brilliant move by Obama.... Changing one word in its name, the Human Rights Council instantly resumed its former practices: ignoring massive human rights violations around the globe and condemning Israel.

POPSThere is Iraq, Darfur, and Afghanistan and Then There is The Congo! The genocide of Rwanda-Burundi ended there and moved next door into the Congo where there has been ongoing wars and rebellion over its riches since the 1960's - yes, the 1960s. As per usual, it is about money and the power that lets the money flow into the hands of North American and European companies. The latest real driver of child soldiers, rape as war policy, thousands being killed weekly? Uranium and chromium are still important but the rare earths and minerals that have been powering cell phone were the latest and greatest. So who has been paying for the deaths and rapes in the Congo? You and me, texting, web surfing and twittering on our phones keeps the wars going!

POPS Protocols Of The Elders Of __________? Add this ado to earth's other hot spots like Darfur, "Palestine," Iran, South Lebanon, Afghanistan, Chechen province in Russia, Côte d'Ivoire, Mindanao Island (Philippines), Somalia, et. al., and you start to notice a pattern. One, no Jews in sight. And two, while the NY Times may not want you to know, adherents to Islam are so often an essential part of the mix. A mere coincidence, or could it be true: The Protocols of The Elders of Islam? Allah Hallavah!

POPSsexual violence as "a tactic of war to humiliate, dominate, instil fear in & disperse"
Amnesty International says women and girls are being targeted in conflicts around the world while the authorities do little or nothing to prevent it. In a report called Lives Blown Apart, the organisation says these crimes persist because those who commit them know prosecutions are rare. Despite promises, treaties and legal mechanisms, governments have failed to protect women and girls, Amnesty says. The human rights group says its investigations have found that violence against women is not just a by-product of war, but often a deliberate military strategy, with women particularly targeted in ethnic cleansing campaigns. "By attacking the women you are attacking the honour of your enemy, you demoralise the men, you scare people into running away," she said. "It's a very effective weapon, because the communities are totally destroyed." The question is whether those in conflict zones who use rape in war will be deterred.

POPSHumanitarian crisis in Somalia Mogadishu civilians have been fleeing intense fighting. Radical Islamist militia groups, Hisbul-Islam and al-Shabab, have been locked in see-sawing battles in the Somali capital with pro-government forces that have displaced more than 60,000 civilians since 7 May.

POPSAfter Wars, Mass Rapes Persist
Of the 275 new sexual violence cases treated between January and April by Doctors Without Borders in Liberia, 28 percent involve children aged 4 or younger, and 33 percent involve children aged 5 through 12. “The rape of little children is common,” said Oretha Brooks, a social worker at the excellent Duport Road Clinic in Monrovia. “It happens on a daily basis.” She introduced me to Wynnie, a 9-year-old girl in her waiting room who had been raped twice. Yet there are signs of progress. Liberia’s president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman elected a president in Africa, has sent strong signals that rape is intolerable. Aid groups like the Carter Center are working to promote the rule of law and punish the rapists… Maybe the greatest reassurance came from Jackie, the resilient 7-year-old. She appeared to have overcome the stigma of rape, for she explained that she wanted to grow up to build shelters for abused girls, adding, “I want to be president for Liberia.”[/qu

POPSThe International Criminal Court on Dafur The International Criminal Court is accepting supporting evidence of children's drawings of the alleged crimes committed in Darfur. Adam, 15, wrote: "Look at these pictures carefully, and you will see what happened in Darfur. Thank you." Bakhid was eight years old when he saw his village being attacked and burned by Janjaweed forces on horse back and Sudanese forces in vehicles and tanks. One young artist named Aisha said: "It is very kind to send us food, but this is Africa and we are used to being hungry. What I ask is that you please take the guns away from the people who are killing us."

POPSDoes Ki-Moon have paymasters? It would seem that Ki-Moon's priorities are completely skewed, so one has to ask why. He's intelligent, but does not make intelligent statements, so something or somebody must be holding the reins. Mike

POPSLouis Vuitton sues Darfur Artist I wanted to title this clip " The Truth Hurts ", ....I think the lawsuit is bringing more attention on peoples values than the t-shirt. Louis Vuitton should have donated that money towards the Darfur Project if they wanted to portray a better image.
