UN: US Should Return Lands to Native Americans
2012-05-06 03:57:00 by G.A. Stewart III A United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return some of the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination. James Anaya is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and plans to present a report on his findings to the UN in September: Anaya said he would reserve detailed recommendations on a plan for land restoration until he presents his final report to the UN human rights council in September. "I'm talking about restoring to indigenous peoples what obviously they're entitled to and they have a legitimate claim to in a way that is not devisive but restorative. That's the idea behind reconciliation," he said. This is a classic example of the victimization mentality where instead of someone taking responsibility for their actions and actually worki...

Analysis of Presidential Security Directive-10
2012-04-03 01:04:00 What follows is a piece I wrote on March 25, 2012, concerning a Presidential Security Directive from last year that addresses mass atrocities. I recently came across the Presidential Security Directive on Mass Atrocities (PSD-10) issued August 4, 2011, which was issued because the current Administration believes that: Preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States....America's reputation suffers, and our ability to bring about change is constrained, when we are perceived as idle in the face of mass atrocities and genocide. (1) Genocide in other nations does not, in general, impact the core national security of the United States. It impacts security and stability in other nations. For each instance of genocide, we must make a deliberate decision whether or not it impacts our true national security. We cannot make a blanket statement that...

Arrest of Ratko Mladic
2011-07-13 11:13:00 For Global Voices: Ratko Mladic, former Bosnian Serb military leader was arrested today by police in Serbia, the country's president, Boris Tadic, confirmed on national television. General Mladic has been on the run since 1995 facing charges of genocide for his role as Bosnian Serb military commander during the 1992-95 civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Mladic will now most likely be extradicted to face charges at the UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague, Netherlands. Initial blogger reactions are mostly jubilant.It is with a sense of relief and disbelief that many Bosnians and Serbs alike today learn about the arrest of Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic, charged with genocide and war crimes during the 1992-95 civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The arrest of Ratko Mladic may come as a surprise to many, but international pressure has been building in recent years that Serbian authorities finally bring the general to justice.Living with the memory of loved ones massacred or mutilated by w...

Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers
2009-10-04 01:11:00 Concerning Attempts To Contact Former Sathya Baba Followers In the case of these approaches, carefully vetting is performed so as to screen off the proven attempts of Gerald Moreno and others to infiltrate or otherwise undermine former devotee work to bring about proper third party investigation of Sathya Sai Baba and core components of his international Sathya Sai Organization. It has been important for us to take advice from outstanding abuse professionals, lawyers, and so on. The temerity, and in some cases the naivity, of some requests to us for even the most sensitive information might stagger those who had not become used to it.

Sathya Sai Fails To Save Satyam
2009-01-14 00:57:00 The massive Satyam corruption scandal engulfs India in a sad and chilling way somewhat remindful of WorldCom, Parmalat, and Enron. Sad, for example, because of the tens of thousands of talented workers whose future is under heavy cloud, and chilling because it reveals but a small part of the disordered ?backyard? that Sathya Sai Baba famously said he would first ?clean up? before transforming the rest of the world prior to quitting it circa AD 2022. And, again sadly, because such scandals can also obscure many instances of probity and quality of service.

This govt not only failed to bring the 2006 war against Hizbullah to a successful conclusion --due to the lack of the right strategy, ignorance of the enemy, ignorance of how that enemy was supplied [they knew that the weapons came from Iran to Syria to the Hizbullah across the Syrian border but acted as if they did not know]-- but failed on the very important diplomatic front. Security Council Resolution 1701 did not provide for forceful supervision by international forces of the Syria-Lebanon border nor for Israeli action if international [UN] forces could not or would not stop the Hizb's import of weapons from Syria.So we are now faced with a rearmed Hizbullah on the northern front --a Hizb more heavily armed than 2 1/2 years ago. ...

Bob Barr Says U.S. Must Cut United Nations Role and Budget
2008-06-26 19:19:00 Bob Barr Says U.S. Must Cut United Nations Role and BudgetOn this day in 1945 the U.S. and other countries signed the United Nations Charter. Unfortunately, “the UN has been an enormous disappointment,” says Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr. “The U.S. should push to roll back the UN’s functions and slash America ’s financial contribution.”Expectations for the UN initially were high: before the signing, President Harry S. Truman said “At no time in history has there been a more important Conference than this one.” Obviously, “President Truman had no sense of history,” notes Barr. “ America ’s constitutional convention always had a much better claim to that honor.”Nor was President Truman much of a prophet. “The United Nations has turned out far different than expected,” says Barr. The budget is bloated. “The UN has become a huge, bloated and costly bureaucracy, constantly seeking ways to ...

INTA Recap: Our Own United Nations
2008-05-29 03:42:00 Meet the Bloggers IV: Trademark law bloggers of the world unite!It’s hard to recap a four-day conference involving thousands of trademark lawyers from around the world. Despite my nagging jet lag, I’m still energized. For me, this year’s INTA transcended the usual meeting and greeting. Maybe it’s because I’ve gone to a few of these now and the folks I met for the first time three years ago in San Diego are now becoming good friends. But I started thinking that INTA’s annual meeting could be something of an agent of peace. Take the Meet the Bloggers event (photo above), for example. That night, I met folks kind of like me from England, Italy, Spain, South Africa, the United States, and many points in between. Our own United Nations. The night ended, quite late, over burgers and beer with old and new friends from the States, Holland, and Australia. I thought: this is what it’s all about. Sure, INTA is about m...

Thailand is the "Wolrd Center of Buddhism"
2008-05-28 06:44:00 The Buddhist Channel reports that the "[United Nation] declares Thailand as 'world centre of Buddhism'". This is a truly great honor for Thailand; but with it comes responsibility. The people of Thailand embrace their religious history fully. However, our globalizing world places the future of Buddhism into a realm of uncertainty. How will Buddhism evolve as it continues to spread in the West? Is Buddhism more of a philosophy or a religion; and what are the implications? What does it mean for a nation to be considered a Buddhist nation? And, perhaps most importantly, how can/should "the world center of Buddhism" help to promote the real and original teachings of the Buddha to the rest of the world?These are important questions for all people to think about when addressing their own spiritual paths. I look forward to visiting Thailand again in the future, and hope that the vibrant Buddhist culture that I was able to experience will never fade.
