Your post #76 had a couple of unsettling statements from Marc Grossman, the undersecretary of state for political affairs and some unidentified "officials":

Although nations have the authority to try non-citizens who commit crimes against their citizens or on their territory, "the United States has never recognized the right of an international organization to do so" without its consent or without a U.N. Security Council mandate, Grossman said.

This sounds like it might be OK with us if the UN Security Council says so. NOT! especially with all the trial balloons we've seen over the last couple years about removing the veto power from individual members of the Security Council and/or not having permanent seats on the Council etc.

Instead, the United States favors working with nongovernment organizations, private industry and universities and law schools to help individual countries set up tribunals when needed, officials said. NGOs, private industry, universities and law schools?! IOW Globalist princes are going to run more kangaroo tribunals like the ICTY monstrosity in the future that we would favor "working with". I suspect that this statement was just slipped in by the article's author with the hope that his saying so would make it happen. I almost didn't notice that the worst statement in there was attributed to anonymous "officials" because it was sandwiched in with sourced quotes from a couple of actual state department people.

I was also spooked by your description of the UN symbol in the emergency test...

Please ping me to where you posted the UN's symbol and the words UNITED NATIONS on RIGHT after an EBS TEST.

I was wrong. I cannot recall where I got 76 from.

The U.N. symbol was not IN the EBS TEST it was flashed a nano-second afterward the test.Last night during the David Letterman show.

The U.N. official symbol and the words underneath THE UNITED NATIONS was shown for a few seconds.It was quite strange.
