Alert: Liberian Warlord Runs for Senate

-

 


Liberian Warlord Yormi Johnson is a Senate candidate in upcoming Liberian elections. How is it possible that Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic are being held under trial and Yormi Johnson and Charles Taylor are free?


The WAR ON TERROR is appearing more as the war against the United States and United Kingdom. The G-8 and weapons suppliers have to take their end of Universal Justce more seriously to help gain support and respect for their interests.

Here is part of the AOL-CNN reporting:

GANTA, Liberia (Reuters) -- A rebel leader who drank beer while his men hacked up the president and an infamous warlord called "Gen. Peanut Butter" are hoping to bury their pasts and be elected senators in Liberia's first post-war polls.

Tuesday's presidential and parliamentary elections were intended to draw a line under a 14-year civil war which ended two years ago after killing a quarter of a million people and uprooting almost a third of the population.

Some of the war's most notorious killers now want to reinvent themselves as elected politicians through the polls, whose votes were still being counted on Thursday.

Former rebel leader Prince Yormi Johnson watched while his men cut off the ears of President Samuel Doe in 1990 and then tortured him as television cameras rolled.

Corporate History and Human Rights

-
  TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2005 All things in material existence have a history. In this light the artificial organization of human and material resources into the corporation have enabled forces of capitalism and the state to focus their efforts on some allocative output as a good or service. As all productive forces there are externalites to the firms efforts. These are sometimes called spillover effects. In the human rights dimension this may be the marginalization of persons in the vicinity of production. The conflict with Shell and native tribes in Nigeria is an ongoing event. In the United States the last 15 years have created an unbridled culture of plutocracy which is a tyranny based on the selling of small objects in contrast to oligarchy which is tyranny of the holding of large properties. There is often collusion with the security forces and intimidation. Blackmail and extortion are part of the entry fee. Here in the United States there is an ongoing scorched earth event. LAPD i

Official Recognition:   In re: Nollmeyer In Re: David Nollmeyer  David Nollmeyer is currently seeking legal recognition by the United States, United Nations, and other non-governmental agencies as Amnesty International to officially acknowledge de-facto human rights abuses in re: Nollmeyer which have had an in-continuo status over the last 16 years. Mr. Nollmeyer has pleaded pro se a system of over 26 civil law suits in the United States Federal Courts.  Civil pleadings are not designed to replace the owed guarantees of citizens that should be undertaken by prosecutors of the state as criminal proceedings against the belligerents. The conditions include polluted air and food by agents of the law enforcement that have despoiled areas in over 44 states. Electronic surveillance on Mr. Nollmeyer has been 100% continually for the past 16 years. Mr. Nollmeyer considers the Presidencies of Ronald Reagan , George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, and George Bush III to be fictious. Cambridge Law School

Pathological Liars

-
A study by USC researchers Adrian Raine and Yaling Lang has provided structural support for the diagnostics of persons considered pathological liars. Earlier work emphasized the prefrontal cortex in ordinary liars.  Liars had a 25.7 percent increase in prefrontal white matter compared to the antisocial controls and a 22 percent increase compared to the normal controls. Liars had a 14.2 percent decrease in prefrontal gray matter compared to normal controls (Sutliff 2005). In addition to any structural component the social dimensions or triggers that differentiate a purely nativistic and deterministic antecedent need to be considered. Saddam Hussein has often been accused of manifesting himself as a pathological liar to justify his behavior.  “It’s almost mind reading. You have to be able to understand the mindset of the other person. You also have to suppress your emotions or regulate them because you don’t want to appear nervous. There’s quite a lot to do there. You’ve got to suppress
