Iranian general suggests Saudi tragedies orchestrated by Israel


The deputy chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces suggested Monday that the deadly Mecca crane collapse and hajj stampede were orchestrated by Israel and Saudi Arabia.

At least 107 people were killed and 238 injured when a crane collapsed on the Grand Mosque during a storm on September 11. The head of Saudi Arabia’s civil defense directorate said high winds caused the incident, which also led to the death of a top Iranian scientist. Last week, over 700 people were trampled to death during the annual hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, including some 150 Iranian nationals.

UN group calls for more Internet rules


A recent United Nations report calls for more international rules for the Internet, especially with respect to how nations treat each other.

"Making cyberspace stable and secure can be achieved only through international cooperation," said the report, published last week, "and the foundation of this cooperation must be international law and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations."

Among its findings, the report said state actors "should not conduct or knowingly support" cyber crime "that intentionally damages critical infrastructure or otherwise impairs the use and operation of critical infrastructure to provide services to the public." To that end, it said, there should be "effective cooperation among States to reduce risks to international peace and security."

It additionally suggests that nations should respect human rights, suggesting that they "comply with their obligations under international law to respect and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms."

The group recommended that the UN play "a leading role in promoting dialogue" on "the application of international law and norms, rules and principles for responsible State behavior" in the field of cybersecurity, and asked that the UN General Assembly schedule the group to reconvene in 2016.

The statements in the report echo those made by Secretary of State John Kerry in a speech in South Korea this year. Kerry suggested that countries not be permitted to damage or impede critical infrastructure, or prevent emergency teams from responding to cybersecurity incidents; refrain from cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property; take accountability for cyberthreats emanating from their soil; and do what they can to assist other countries that have been victimized in cyberattacks.

"I guarantee you if those five principles were genuinely and fully adopted and implemented by countries, we would be living in a far safer and far more confident cyberworld," Kerry said.

The report, which took more than a year to compile, was the product of a 20-nation working group founded in 2004 titled the "Governmental Group of Experts," or GGE. It's an unwieldy assemblage, and includes nations that stand in varying degrees of compliance with the principles of its non-binding documents.

China, for instance, has reportedly charged 197 people for spreading "online rumors" in recent years, and engaged in cyberespionage against the U.S. for both commercial and political purposes. Spying conducted by the U.S. on citizens around the world, meanwhile, may violate what the documents call "the right to privacy in the digital age" and "full respect for human rights."

In addition to China, members of the working group included Belarus, Colombia, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Ghana, Israel, Japan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Brazil sat as chair.

Though the report was finished in July, it was not made public until late August. Russia's ambassador to the UK was quick to issue praise, saying that any agreement was valuable as "information and communication technologies" were "being increasingly used for unlawful and hostile purposes" that were "inconsistent with the basic principles of international law." He also voiced support for the creation of actionable treaties, adding, "Russia would prefer to launch a discussion on a legally binding international convention … though we understand that our partners are not ready for this yet."

He went on to liken cyberwarfare to the Cold War, stating, "As in the nuclear weapons story, some still hope to maintain a permanent edge over others."

Creating a multilateral regime to govern cyber policy is an old refrain for Russia. The country and its economic allies — Brazil, India, China, and South Africa — called on the UN to develop a "universal regulatory instrument" for combating cybercrime at their summit this year. China and Russia have been particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of creating multilateral bodies over the years. The U.S. has avoided binding documents and sought to impose multistakeholder governance where applicable, involving participation from the private sector rather than restricting it to state actors.

The GGE report was written after two meetings in 2014 and two more in 2015 at the UN's headquarters in New York. It was predicated on previous reports the group published in 2010 and 2013. The largest breakthrough for the group made may have been in 2013, when it finally determined that international laws on sovereignty should apply to the online space.

Fetus Video Referenced by Carly Fiorina Released in Full


The video that Carly Fiorina graphically described at the last Republican presidential debate, depicting a moving fetus on a table following an apparent abortion, was released online in its entirety Tuesday morning, according to Gregg Cunningham, the founder of the Center for Bioethical Reform, who collected the footage.

Cunningham, an anti-abortion activist, declined to identify the date, location or authors of the video in an interview with TIME Monday night, saying his group makes agreements of confidentiality in an effort to acquire images of abortions. He also made no claim that the images shown in the video had anything to do with Planned Parenthood, the organization that Fiorina and others have targeted for federal defunding. “I am neither confirming or denying the affiliation of the clinic who did this abortion,” Cunningham said.

During the debate on Sept. 16, Fiorina denounced the images on videos that had been produced by a separate group, the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). “As regards [to] Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes,” she said. “Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, it’s heart beating, it’s legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”

No video released by the Center for Medical Progress showed the image Fiorina described, but one of the CMP videos does include a brief edited clip from the video Cunningham released on Tuesday, showing a fetus on a stainless steel background with its leg moving.

David Daleiden, who created the Center for Medical Progress videos, edited in the Cunningham footage to illustrate a story that he had been told on camera of a medical technician witnessing an abortion that resulted in an extracted fetus with moving legs and beating heart.

The full source video, which is extremely graphic, lasts about 13 minutes, and shows a fetus being extracted from the mother, placed in a metal bowl, prodded with medical instruments and handled by someone in the room. At times the fetus appears to move, and at other times it appears to have a pulse. There are no images on the full video of any attempt to harvest the brain of the fetus, and there is no sound. Cunningham said the jump cuts in the video are the result of the camera being turned off and on.

You are not powerless. Get in touch with lawyers FIRST, before they start running. As soon as they are stopped from doing anything or attacked, push the speed dial. Pro bono publico.

I believe you are missing the point why bitointalk.org was created by who you know...

If we let black lives matter attack international runners and have them, the runners, arrested, this could be a very good thing to accelerate their demise. Who would be left standing to fight for blm? Play their games and create total chaos. Then start a class action lawsuit against the organizers for a total lack of protections and security. Use the tools they use all the time against them.

Oil is a natural resource that is easy to recycle and has a zillion times less impact than nuclear energy. We all should welcome any future Deepwater Horizon oil spill like event a zillion times over because we can calculate premiums.

Also, we should all love the saudi's oil because we can calculate the ratio human rights/make me feel good to hate nuclear energy and conclude that some humans, especially saudi women, are not worth fighting for...


 

Muslim parents face court in Germany after murdering daughter for shoplifting condoms to have sex with forbidden boyfriend








A MUSLIM father has admitted to strangling his 19-year-old daughter to death after she was caught shoplifting condoms to use with a man she had been forbidden from dating.


Asadullah Khan, 51, used his bare hands to strangle his daughter Lareeb because she had brought “dishonour” to the family, the court in Germany heard.

His wife Shazia Khan, 41, is also on trial for their daughter’s murder as she did not attempt to stop him.

The couple, originally from Pakistan, then dressed their daughter in her dental assistant work attire and used a wheelchair to transport her to their car. They used the car to relocate her body from their high-rise apartment in the city of Darmstadt to a forest, where they disposed of it by rolling her down the hill.

Mr Khan said the family’s honour had been jeopardised after Lareeb had started dating a man despite attempts by her family to stop it.

The situation then escalated to a fatal level when Lareeb was caught attempting to steal condoms from a store.

Mrs Khan told the court that she did not stop her husband as she feared him.

But the couple’s youngest daughter 14-year-old Nida said in court that Mrs Khan “was not suppressed” by her husband and “could do what she wanted”. She also said she wants nothing more to do with her parents.

Lareeb’s boyfriend Raheel said they had planned to get married but her parents threatened him, Picture (Bild) Newspaper reported.

He added that Lareeb had told him that her mother, Mrs Khan, had repeatedly abused her with a stick and pressed her hand on a hot stove.

Mr Khan had also tried to strangle Lareeb on a previous occasion.
