... against humanity,” alleging that the United Nations Population Fund ( UNFPA ) “whitewashes” millions of abortions in Communist China, many of them forced abortions. Rep. Smith’s remarks came in the context of a discussion on China’s population-control policy , which he described as “the longest running and most far-reaching violations of human rights the world has ever seen.”. “In China today,” the congressman said, “abortion has been used as a weapon of mass destruction. Hundreds of millions of lives have been exterminated.”. (Photo: Center for Medical Progress, screenshot). The U. S. Department of State estimates that roughly 23 million abortions are performed in China annually. As of 2013, 336 million abortions and 196 million sterilizations occurred in China since the implementation of population-control policies in 1971, according to Chinese government statistics reported by the Financial Times. The UNFPA, Rep. Smith added, “has been complicit in China’s population-control policies right from the beginning. They not only turned a blind eye to these abuses, but helped facilitate and to fund them.”. In failing to acknowledge or confront the Chinese government’s “barbaric” ...

Un Complicit In Saudi War Crimes In Yemen

... the UN, Yemen would not be starving,” Director of Programs at Shafaqna Institute for Middle Eastern Studies Catherine Shakdam from London said in an interview with the Tasnim News Agency. “…The United Nations is not only enabling but actually acting complicit to odious war crimes as it continues to entertain and orchestrate Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian blockade on Yemen,” she noted. Shakdam is an expert commentator and political consultant. Her writings have appeared in Foreign Policy Association and the Guardian among many other media outlets. Catherine is also the co-founder of Veritas Consulting. The following is the full text of the interview. Tasnim: According to media reports, Maldivian opposition parties protested Friday a planned visit by King Salman following reports that Saudi business interests were buying ...

Broadband Providers Are Complicit In Fraud Over Speed Claims, Says Mp

... allowed to promote speeds that are achievable by just ten per cent of their customers. While he acknowledged it is normal for a company to highlight the best aspects of a product in its adverts, Mr Warman said the fact broadband providers can "misrepresent what's on offer to most consumers" means something is "broken" in the market. "It’s like walking into a supermarket and choosing the best apple only to have it exchanged at the checkout for the most shrivelled," Mr Warman commented. "Broadband providers are complicit in this fraud on 90 per cent of consumers, but it’s the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) that needs to get a grip on it.". In November last year, the ASA confirmed new rules on advertising broadband speeds are likely to be introduced in 2017. The watchdog stated that allowing broadband providers to promote speeds that are achievable by just ten per cent of customers is potentially misleading and means the majority do not get the speeds they expected. However, Mr Warman is among ...

Saturday Night Live' Makes The Case That Ivanka Is 'complicit

... platforms) acknowledges what news reports long have: that Ivanka Trump is part of her father’s administration, directly if unofficially. The decisions the White House has made about women’s health care and immigrant families ? Trump the daughter, as a seemingly trusted advisor to her father, has been part of them. It’s an argument SNL makes, cannily, via the less political side of Ivanka’s public image: her status as a fashion icon, as a brand, as a person known both for her looks and for her Look. As the ad’s sultry voice-over explains of the Trump daughter, “She’s beautiful … she’s powerful … she’s … complicit.”. And then. She’s a woman who knows what she wants, and knows what she’s doing. Complicit. She doesn’t crave the spotlight, but we see her. Oh, how we see her. Complicit. A feminist. An advocate. A champion for women. ...

... in the strikes of military forces. GAROWE, Puntland- Senior officials of Somalia’s semi-autonomous state of Puntland are reported to be complicit in the continuation of protest by military forces in the past weeks, Garowe Online reports. Garowe, the state capital of the region has witnessed surge in mutiny by military forces who are complaining of lack of salaries and poor welfare during the current administration led by President Abdiwali Mohamed Ali “Gaas”. This coincides with previous report published by GO revealing that President Ali was advised to relocate to Bosaso city, the commercial hub of the region, till the end of his term in January 2019.

"Puntland government has ignored resolving the complains of the military forces or punish the commanders of the military forces who staged mutiny, which indicates lack of government willingness to restore order, but instead sought to blame former ...

Left Complicit In Violence Ripping Through Migrant Neighbourhoods

... has accused the left-wing political establishment of complicity in the violence raging through the country’s migrant-dominated suburbs. Mr Moutouh, who served as France’s youngest ever district prefect, slammed the left wing political class for “justifying” the rampant criminality that’s setting the suburbs ablaze , by their insistence that young thugs should be seen as victims. SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER. “Again and again the same scenes of urban violence, the same images of cars burned, attacks of police stations, Molotov cocktails launched on the forces of order,” Mr. Moutouh wrote  in a piece published by Le Figaro. According to the government advisor and lawyer, who has written extensively on how the Republic can improve its security policy, “parts of the French political class on the left” have become ...

Politicized Intelligence Reporting And A Complicit Media

... Jessica Vaughan has pointed out, even with this eye-of-a-needle constriction, a few terrorists from the seven countries have been identified. But even if there were none, as I have noted before , what hasn't happened before is no indication of what might happen in the future. If, on September 10, 2001, you had asked anyone in America, government officials included, whether an attack was imminent, they would have looked at you as if you were mad, and I'm sure the same blank response would have pertained on December 6, 1941. The document also consists entirely of open-source data, and not much of it at that. It makes no mention, for instance, of highly credible reports that have surfaced in the media about the discovery of blank-but-legitimate Syrian passports in the hands of ISIS discovered during raids; or of similar reports in the media in which an Iraqi general confirms having found Iraqi passports in ISIS safe houses in the Mosul area after liberation by Iraqi troops. How curious these omissions seem. ...

She's Complicit' Johansson Spoofs Ivanka On Snl

... U. S. attorneys. "While it's true that presidents from both parties made their own choices for U. S. attorney positions across the country, they have always done so in an orderly fashion that doesn't put ongoing investigations at risk," Schumer said.

How Wesleyan Is Complicit In Affleck’s Sexual Misconduct By Endorsing Lonergan ’84

... of the casting process. In the same interview, Affleck describes receiving a call from Lonergan asking him to star in “Manchester by the Sea.” Casey Affleck did not audition and catch the eye of a casting director; he was a specific choice that was made for the movie. Wesleyan University cannot insist on claiming credit for Kenneth Lonergan unless they also acknowledge their complicity in the success of a perpetrator of sexual violence. Lonergan essentially won Affleck his Oscar by handpicking Affleck for his movie. A famous actor’s connections enable them to continue their success, and we must be cautious about praising enablers, especially when they help sexual harassers. Wesleyan cannot have it both ways; it can either be true to its progressive brand or it can indiscriminately praise every semi-notable success from alumni (and even students who transferred out). “Moonlight” signifies an important shift in movie making. Although members of the cast like Janelle Monáe and Mahershala Ali have extensive backgrounds in film, “Moonlight” avoids drawing actors from the trite (often white) ...

Alfred Molina On His Morally Complicit Feud Character

... leaves home. Their commiseration turns into an exchange of compliments and they land in a kiss. The rest is just implied. Molina plays Aldrich with a beleaguered air, allowing him to be both fundamentally decent without letting him off the hook for his perhaps unintentionally malevolent actions. The A. V. Club spoke with him about the part and the most recent installment. The A. V. Club: How did you prepare for the role. Alfred Molina: I watched as many of his movies as I could and there were two books that were available, which were kind of analytical studies of his movies. One of them, which is very interesting, is a collection of all the major interviews that he gave throughout his life as a filmmaker. It was interesting to track through those interviews to see what he thought of a particular movie immediately after making it and what he thought about it 25 years later. He was very very discreet about the whole issue between Joan and Bette during the making of Baby Jane. I saw lots and lots of photographs and some first-hand accounts of what it was ...

Inaction Makes Government Complicit In Political Killings

... Group. On 16 February, Edweno ‘Edwin’ Catog, was shot by two men, believed to be linked to the 46 th Infantry Battalion-Philippine Army. He had previously been warned by a relative that he should go into hiding because he was on a military hit list. On 19 February, Willerme Agorde of Mailuminado Farmers’ Association Incorporated (MAFAI) was shot by suspected members of the Bagani paramilitary group. According to Cristina Palabay of human rights organization Karapatan, “There is a consistent pattern in these killings. Every political killing is justified by the military with claims that victims are members of the New People’s Army (NPA), and have been killed during ‘legitimate’ encounters’. In the cities, we are being fed a similar narrative - with the police justifying drug-related killings during ‘legitimate’ police operations. These killings are perpetrated by state ...
