Re: Indonesia: Dozens of Freeport miners buried in Papua

andrew767 — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:32:01 -0000

But isn't Papua a United Nations colony? As I understand it a former Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett told Kennedy to appoint Lovett's family friend McGeorge Bundy as the National Security Adviser, then Bundy had the NSC tell Kennedy that he had to get the Dutch to trade the colony of West New Guinea (West Papua) to Indonesia. But it is illegal for UN members to sell people so Kennedy got the Dutch to surrender the colony to the United Nations which is allowed IF the UN authorizes such a deal as a trusteeship under article 85 and Chapter XII of the UN Charter.

West Papua became a UN trust territory when the General Assembly made resolution 1752 (XVII).

I believe West Papua is still a UN trust territory which the UN asked Indonesia to administer for the rest of the UN members, and the local people are correct that Indonesia has NO right to be selling mining rights to Freeport or to BP.

What is the truth? Did the Kennedy administration unwittingly get used by a Freeport director Robert Lovett to enslave the West Papuan people for the pass fifty years? Have hundreds of thousands of people been killed in a UN trust territory? Only the UN court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) can say for certain but I'm afraid the answer is yes. A Pacific people whose men risked their lives saving thousands of American soldiers during the Pacific war have been suffering a horrible foreign rule at the request of the UN.

This is a MISTAKE by the entire UN that should be corrected as soon as possible, we should ask that the ICJ give its advisory opinion so that the people of West Papua can at last have their freedom again. Please ask that this next General Assembly ask the ICJ to answer the question, is West Papua a trust territory?

Re: Uruguayan senators approve bill to legalize gay marriage

I think that there is a typo in the fourth paragraph from the end. It says:
"Argentina legalized gay marriage in July 2010, but not after a heated debate, ...."

I think that you intended to say the opposite:
"Argentina legalized gay marriage in July 2010, but not UNTIL after a heated debate, ...."

BTW, your email function seized up when I tried to send you an email.

Re: ‘Killer bees’ attack special needs school in South Africa, injuring 64

Pete Bower — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:20:30 -0000

What nonsense! African bees are of two strains, Apis capensis in the Western Cape, and Apis scutellata in the eastern inland regions. While both are more aggressive that European or North American bees, to descibe them as "killer" bees is pathetic. Beekeepers in Africa farm very successfully with both capensis and scutellata bees which, under good conditions, are just as productive and useful as the European or American "honey" bee. African bees ARE our honey bees.

Re: U.S. unemployment rate falls to 7.7 percent, lowest since 2008

Joey Crook — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:27:16 -0000

I have a feeling that this has something to do with ObamaCare. You know... Employers do not want to pay insurance for employees... so they cut them all to part time ... then they have to hire other people to cover other shifts that the other employees used to cover. I'm not saying this is the whole reason but it could be part of it.
