Murder Made Sexy

The sexualization of violence is profoundly sick, but it's just an extension of a pathology that permeates our society.

(OLDENBURG, Germany) - The US Special Forces is a bizarrely gendered world, as I found out when I joined it to write a book about war. This all-male bastion is sexualized in a truly perverted way, particularly in its methods for turning young men into killers on command.

Being the epitome of patriarchy, the military creates soldiers by forcing them into the role of the lowliest creatures in patriarchy: women.

The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka*

Chartering Freedom Through the Rough Seas of GeoPolitics; A Conference Organized by the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE).

(LANCASTER, PA) - The Tamils on the Island known as “Sri Lanka” have been the victims of genocide as defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

I say that because on 8 April 1993 and 13 September 1993 I single-handedly won two World Court Orders on the basis of the 1948 Genocide Convention that were overwhelmingly in favor of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide against the Bosnians.

Warm Reflections On The Cold War

I strove with none, for none was worth the strife...
-Walter Savage Landor

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - In the aftermath of World War II, there followed a strange period known as “the cold war.”

It may have been called "cold" because most threats and counter threats took place in the Canadian Arctic... a logical place to duel with nuclear ICBMs.

11 Pounds of Methamphetamine Seized

The estimated value of the seized methamphetamine is $143,000.

(KLAMATH FALLS OR) - A California resident is facing charges in Klamath County following a Sunday morning Oregon State Police (OSP) traffic stop in Klamath Falls.

During the stop an OSP trooper discovered approximately 11 pounds of methamphetamine concealed inside the vehicle. The OSP Drug Enforcement Section is continuing the investigation.

Arrest Warrants Issued Against Burmese Human Rights Defenders

Two of the activists are part of the Yangon People Service Network which campaigns for the respect of rule of law and democracy in Burma.

(YORK, UK) - Remarks over the controversial Letpadaung copper mine project in Burma led to the issuance of arrest warrants against three Human rights defenders.

The mine is a joint venture between the Burmese military's Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited and Wan Bao Company, a subsidiary of a Chinese arms manufacturer.

Hezbollah`s Palestinian Problem... and Vice Versa

Syrian government forces claim that Hamas has even trained Syrian rebels in the manufacture and use of home-made rockets.

(BEIRUT) - Many Lebanese and Syrian supporters of the region's Resistance culture, increasingly led by Hezbollah, are chastising, for a number of reasons, their former Islamist ally Hamas.

Pillorying them with accusations that the latter are ingrates who are creating a host of problems for Hezbollah and its support for the Syrian regime, during the continuing crisis.

Time Magazine Exposes Buddhist Terrorists in Myanmar

Mainstream magazine takes Burma's president by surprise, exposing the actions of an anti-Muslim monk named Wirathu who operates with near impunity.

(SACRAMENTO / FRANKFURT) - Time Magazine has outed the murderous Burmese Buddhist monk called Wirathu in this month's edition. He's the Nazi-like leader of the government sanctioned '969' movement in Burma and the ringleader in the ethnic cleansing of Muslim people there.

Of course Americans will see a different version of this month's magazine.

Death Threat to LEAD`s Director, Advoacte Sardar Mushtaq Gill

A Christian advocate's life is in danger for attempting to help women who were forcibly abused by Muslim extremists.

(PATTOKI, Pakistan) - Pakistani Christian Advocate Sardar Mushtaq Gill says he was threatened by three anonymous armed men Sunday after meeting with the victims of a heart breaking incident.

Christian women were attacked and paraded naked by a mob of Muslims...

Michael Francke Murder Mystery Solved (Part Two)

When Mike first discovered the thefts of millions of dollars, he went to the Oregon State Police and to his boss, Governor Goldschmidt. He was dead the minute he first opened his mouth.

(SALEM) - In the last installment, we explained how easy it was for Frank Gable's own attorneys, and the trial Judge, to convict Frank Gable of murder. Obviously, defense attorney Robert Abel fully never intended to let Frank testify at all.

Right from the beginning, Abel was adamant that Frank not testify. Abel knew that he was hanging his client. That is why he was appointed to represent him in the first place. He was famous for it.

Poor George, he can`t help it...

It is a superb Texas sweet-talking barbed description, dripping with sarcasm and righteous anger.

(CHICAGO) - “Poor George, he can’t help it — he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”

This memorable line from future Texas Governor Ann Richards was aimed at soon-to-be President George H. W. Bush.
