"an investigation... would be the fifth since the court started work in 2002 - all of them based in Africa"
Yeah, BUSH and BLIAR INVADE IRAQ on a mountain of lies and THEY are not in the dock!
ISRAEL uses WMD in GAZA last January and the WAR CRIMES are BLOCKED in Security Council.
Years of SECRET TORTURE at SECRET SITES and NOTHING!
I've said it before and I'll say it one more time: The ICC is there for SHOW only!
The prosecutions are for TIN-POT AFRICAN LEADERS who DID WESTERN BIDDING and for POOR WHITE (like Serbs) who WON'T ACQUIESCE to GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!
"Inquiry into Kenya violence sought" by Associated Press | November 27, 2009
THE HAGUE - The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor asked judges yesterday for permission to investigate Kenya’s postelection violence, which left more than 1,000 people dead.
I'm not trying to minimize it, but that seems so small compared to the MILLIONS the WEST has WASTED over the years!!!!
The the U.N. is INTERFERING in INTERNAL POLITICAL DISPUTES now, huh?
Luis Moreno Ocampo said there is a “reasonable basis to believe that crimes against humanity’’ were committed when violence erupted after President Mwai Kibaki was declared winner of the 2007 elections.

You know, you got a report sitting around about war crimes in Gaza that killed over 1,400. What are you doing about that, U.N.?
The opposition alleged the vote was rigged, and protesters swarmed the streets of Nairobi between December 2007 and February 2008. Many protesters who clashed with police were killed, but the violence also erupted along tribal lines.
All votes are rigged -- except for those in Iran and Gaza as far as I can tell.
Moreno Ocampo said Kenyan authorities believe 1,220 people were killed, hundreds were raped, and thousands forced from their homes.
Compare that to what the U.S. has done in Iraq!
MILLIONS, THOUSANDS, and MILLIONS! Where are you, U.N.?
“These alleged crimes were part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Kenyan civilian population,’’ Moreno Ocampo said. “This constitutes crimes against humanity - murder, rape and sexual attacks, forced displacement, and inhuman acts.’’
I'm not going to say it again. Readers?
If judges allow Moreno Ocampo to open an investigation, it would be the fifth since the court started work in 2002 - all of them based in Africa....
Thus the title of this post.

Oh, here is what the AmeriKan MSM WON'T REPORT about KENYA:
U.S. Sows Seeds of Wider War in East Africa Somali refugees and ethnic Somali citizens of Kenya are being recruited and trained by the thousands for a U.S.-backed offensive in Somalia, to begin next month. The Associated Press, citing numerous sources among refugees, young men who have deserted from the new militia and their families, local Kenyan officials and foreign diplomats, reports that the offensive against Islamist forces in Somalia is planned for late December, the end of the Somali rainy season. That’s the same seasonal window the Americans took advantage of three years ago, when the U.S. instigated an Ethiopian invasion of Somalia that plunged the country into what the United Nations described as the “worst humanitarian crisis in Africa.” That crisis continues, complicated by a severe drought and a U.S.

U.S. Starves Children in Somali War The United States is waging a war of starvation against the people of Somalia. According to United Nations officials, Washington has interrupted the flow of desperately needed food to Somalia, on the grounds that some of it might find its way into the hands of the Shabab, the Islamists the U.S. calls "terrorists," but who are winning the war for control of southern and central Somalia.
Commander Accuses Western Coalition of Collusion with Somali Pirates
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian commander blamed the western coalition forces deployed in the Gulf of Aden of assistance and complicity with Somali pirates in the volatile waters.
“Why don’t the coalition forces, which enjoy super hi-tech equipment, annihilate the buccaneers of the region forever and why do they provide the ground for the continuation of their activities through their suspicious supports?” Commander of Iran’s first Naval Zone Fariborz Qaderpanah asked, speaking in a detailed interview with FNA on Tuesday.
Noting that many analysts believe that there are secret hands at work which are disturbing security in the Gulf of Aden, Qaderpanah lamented that certain countries which are the root cause of insecurity in the region make suspicious statements to justify their presence.
Yeah, I've been suspicious from the start!!!!
You see? The WORLD KNOWS, readers!!!!
Another case in point:"UN cites failures on Congo; Global network still arms rebels; troops’ impact nil" by Rukmini Callimachi, Associated Press | November 26, 2009
Oh, you have to LOVE the COVER-UP aspect of this MSM article!
As it turns out ALL the KILLERS can be traced back to CLINTONITE GLOBALISTS (you know, the SAME ONES STAFFING OBAMA's administration)!!
Again, FOR RESOURCES!
CONAKRY, Guinea - One of Africa’s most brutal rebel movements relies on a vast, international network of supporters in at least 25 countries including in the United States and Europe, a United Nations report said.
Any names?
The UN findings show that the network of people help rebels in Congo buy arms and transfer money. The findings were slated to be discussed by the UN Security Council yesterday and are a scathing indictment of how little the international community has done to cut off logistical support to the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, known by its French acronym FDLR, an ethnic Hutu militia which has wreaked havoc in Congo.
The report, not made public but made available to The Associated Press, reveals that supporters in North America, Europe, and Africa have become the backbone of the group’s day-to-day operations, including in formulating its military strategy. The Congolese army has also funneled weapons and ammunition to the rebel militia in violation of UN sanctions and its own interests of eradicating the group, said the report, a charge Congolese army officials denied. “There is no army officer or soldier who’s helping and arming rebels,’’ said Colonel Delphin Kahimbi. “I don’t understand how you can help the same people we are fighting.’’
Oh, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND FALSE FLAGS and ENDLESS WAR SCENARIOS??!!!!
Yeah, I USED to THINK THAT WAY, too -- before I learned the TRUTH about 9/11!
The report also says the military operation mounted earlier this year against the rebel group has largely failed.
Because it was meant to!!
Although the militia was initially dislodged from strategic positions, it has since regained much of the lost territory and has launched reprisal attacks against civilians.
And HOW LITTLE I have read of that ALL THESE MONTHS in the Boston Globe!
I've seen enough garbage in the interim, though!
The UN Security Council met in a closed-door session yesterday for a briefing by its sanctions committee on Congo but members did not take up the report, said UN associate spokesman Farhan Haq. The council is likely to discuss it Monday, he said, but an official involved in the debate says that council members are trying to table the discussion because the findings include evidence of material support to the rebel group by member states.
Yes, and THOSE MEMBER STATES are?
Globe NEVER GOT BACK TO US, readers?!
The report says the rebel group continues to control lucrative gold mines in eastern Congo, allowing it to traffic millions of dollars in minerals through the country’s porous borders.
And they are WORKING for the WEST!
THOSE are the MEMBER STATES BLOCKING IT and FUNDING and ARMING THEM!!!!!
The FDLR is a rebel group made up of Hutu refugees from Rwanda who took cover in neighboring Congo after the end of Rwanda’s 1994 genocide of half a million Tutsis. Many of its founders and leaders are accused of having led the genocide.
Yeah, with big-time help from the French!

Meanwhile, as each day goes by 1,400 more people die, adding to the immense toll. Related: 10 Million Dead in Congo

Besides, I don't know what the West is worried about.
Cases will just get overturned and thrown out:
"Rwandan’s genocide conviction overturned" by Associated Press | November 17, 2009
ARUSHA, Tanzania - A UN appeals court overturned the conviction yesterday of the former Rwandan president’s brother-in-law....
The judge said that serious errors had been committed during Protais Zigiranyirazo’s 2008 conviction and sentencing, and ordered him to be released immediately....
At least 500,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed during Rwanda’s genocide, which began after President Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane was brought down in April 1994....
Why undersell the generally-accepted 800,000 deaths, Zionist MSM, when the inflated 6 million number is never questioned?
And that plane crash stinks!
"Kinzer, like others in recent years, takes it as a given that Habyarimana's plane was shot down, though by whom is grist for more conspiracy theories than the JFK assassination. Published accounts have blamed the United States, Canada, France, Belgium, Habyarimana's own officers, various mercenaries and, of course, Kagame. "No one investigated the crash," Kinzer writes. "Much evidence was lost or destroyed. The question of who fired the deadly missiles was never convincingly answered."
CUI BONO?
WHO wants the RESOURCES of the region and BENEFITS from TURMOIL?!
WHO is ARMING REBELS (and protecting arms shipments from "pirates")!!?
When it is the Washington Post (the CIA 's newspaper) hurling the invective, you KNOW it is the TRUTH!!!!!
In a 30-page ruling, the appeals court said it had reversed Zigiranyirazo’s convictions for genocide and crimes against humanity because the verdicts had “violated the most basic and fundamental principles of justice.’’ Judge Theodor Meron said the trial judgment had “seriously erred in its handling of the evidence.’’
And I think we know why, huh?
According to the indictment....
WHY REPEAT the FALSE CHARGES?
--more--"
"Over the years, the public-order police have been relatively tolerant, and these days, women’s fashions vary widely in the capital, from long black burkas and gloves to skinny jeans. Trousers are fairly common, but head scarves, long skirts, and wraps remain standard attire for most Muslim women here. At times, police have implemented the law arbitrarily and even bizarrely.
Did they ever ask a citizen to remove a shirt because it insulted the president?
Yeah, whatever, agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM.

Really bumming me out with the garbage you have been peddling lately, Globe.
You are getting worse, not better.
Don't you care about your business?
