      '''Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case By Jill Starr

      http://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa

      (The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images)

      https://sites.google.com/site/jillstarrsite/irrefutable-proof-icty-is-corrupt-court-irrefutable-proof -the-hague-court-cannot-legitimately-prosecute-karadzic-case

      This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr Karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.

      Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states having a substantial conversations, and, openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others.

      I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.

      Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its decisions.”

      ((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked! The idea was “let’s discuss it.” "It’s a great topic to discuss."

      Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is, bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate topic instead of an illegitimate topic which it is in the meeting that I attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

      In particular., since “Spain” was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, “Spain” must have already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was “socially acceptable” for conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.

      SPAIN’s diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is, disgusting morally!SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN “INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.”

      I represented the state interests’ of the Former Yugoslavia, in Diplomat Darko Trifunovic’s absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.

      What It’s Like to Chill Out With Whom the Rest of the World Considers As The Most Ruthless Men: Ratko Mladic, Goran Hadzic and Radovan Karadzic (+) Confessions of a Female War Crimes Investigator By Jill Louise Starr NJ USA

      https://sites.google.com/site/jillstarrsite/what-it-s-like-to-chill-out-with-whom-the-rest-of-the-wor ld-considers-as-the-most-ruthless-men-in-the-world-ratko-mladic-and-radovan-karadzic-confessions-of-a -female-war-crimes-investigator

      Retrospectively, it was all so simple, natural and matter of fact being on a boat restaurant in Belgrade, sitting with, laughing, drinking a two hundred bottle of wine and chatting about war and peace while Ratko Mladic held my hand. Mladic, a man considered the world’s most ruthless war criminal since Adolf Hitler, still at large and currently having a five million dollar bounty on his head for genocide by the international community. Yet there I was with my two best friends at the time, a former Serbian diplomat, his wife, and Ratko Mladic just chilling. There was no security, nothing you’d ordinarily expect in such circumstances. Referring to himself merely as, Sharko; this is the story of it all came about.

      Scheur is not ideological but he has strong and controversial religious convictions. There is no question that his views about the Israel are a reflection of these convictions. For Scheuer and for Pres. Carter, another religious man, it always comes back to the Jews. It's always about them, always their fault. One can't argue with religion and they are entitled to their views. Nonetheless, Scheuer seems to be a patriot and, unlike Carter, he does not shrink from the stern measures that might be necessary to protect this country. ["Ed" posted a comment of which one of the few comprehensible parts is some absurd slander about genocide against the "Palestinians." The Israeli Arab population grows at a faster rate than that of Jewish Israelis and the former constitute an ever-increasing percentage of the Israeli population. Some genocide!\

      Excuses were not made when Iraq was bombed infact every single bomb dropped that estimated potentialy killing more then 35 people president BUSCH had to sign of on it.Why same practises were not used in case of Osama.

      How long are we going to wait capturing rest of the War criminals Radovan Karadzic,Ratko Mladic and others.

      Israels injustice towards Palestinian small genocide as"first PM of Israel"called it is not helping us to resolve other issues in region.

      Alienating moderates such as Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens who put so much effort in peace in Islamic countries and denying enterance to U.S gives wrong message to those that are on same corse as Yusuf Islam.

      "Anonymous" is the CIA's Chief of the Bin Ladin Unit. His real name is Michael Scheuer.

      He has written many articles for the JamesTown Foundation, AntiWar.com, and the Washington Times.

      His views aren't based on party loyalty. He has valid criticisms of both Democrat's and Republican's.

      And neither are his views based on ideology. He has valid criticisms of the ACLU as well as the Neo-Cons.

      Whether Ralph Nader was President, or George Bush...Scheuer would still be a true patriot. He would speack truth to power.

      And I am glad he was on Charlie Rose at least once.
