LONG LIVE the United Nations -
Ethiopia hails UN sanctions on Eritrea
(AFP) 1 day ago
ADDIS ABABA — Ethiopia hailed the UN Security Council’s decision to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on Eritrea as “just and appropriate”.
“The arms embargo and the other sanctions from by UNSC against Eritrea’s government are an appropriate and just decision,” Shimeles Kemal, a government spokesman, told AFP.
The UN Security Council passed the resolution on Wednesday, accusing Ethiopia’s arch-foe of “efforts to destabilise or overthrow, directly or indirectly” the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Somalia.
The text also presses Eritrea to withdraw troops immediately from disputed territories along its frontier with Djibouti, and engage in diplomatic efforts leading to “a mutually acceptable” settlement of their long-running border dispute.
“The international delinquent state of Eritrea has for long been pursuing a strategy to destabilise the entire Horn of Africa and has been promoting and abetting terrorist forces in the region,” Shimeles said.
In a statement, the Eritrean foreign ministry slammed the decision as “a shameful day” for the United Nations.
“As Eritrea has strongly emphasised in the past weeks, this brazen act is neither based on fact nor on the provisions of international law. It constitutes a travesty of justice and amplifies the dangers inherent in a unipolar world,” it said.
Some 80,000 people died in a 1998-2000 border conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, many in brutal World War I style trench warfare.
A UN-backed boundary commission charged with demarcating the border handed the disputed town of Badme to Eritrea but Addis Ababa has refused to recognise the ruling.

This is the most heavily suppressed video on Youtube. In it, Dr David Ayoub provides mountains of factual medical evidence to prove autism is caused by thimerosal mercury in the baby vaccines. In one chart, David shows how the vaccine companies could be forced to pay $100 billion in lawsuit claims if this evidence is brought into court.
$100 billion is a vast sum of money. Now we wonder, what would these vaccine companies do to try to protect that $100 billion?

Service animals enrich the lives of many disabled Americans by performing vital tasks that increase their owners’ safety, mobility and independence. These animals are not a luxury, but a necessity. By denying a disabled person with a service animal access to your business, you’re exposing yourself to lawsuits and serious penalties. So please join us in welcoming disabled guests and their service animals into your business. It’s the law. And it’s the right thing to do.
“We Welcome Service Animals” is a national campaign created by the California Hotel & Lodging Association Educational Foundation and made possible by funding from the American Hotel & Lodging Foundation and the American Express Foundation to teach people in the hospitality industry and law enforcement how to improve service to disabled guests who depend on service animals for assistance. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), hotels, motels and restaurants are required to treat disabled customers with service animals like all other guests, providing them with the same service and access to all areas where other guests are allowed. Violating the ADA can lead to serious penalties and costly lawsuits. Also denying access to disabled people with service animals is a crime in every state.

So, what did President Obama mean?
Fred K – Just a note: Dem Congress and House did not pass the budget, waiting for Obama to get in office. President Bush never saw the final product, you cannot sign what never crosses your desk! They knew Obama would just sign it.
He meant that he had no intention of doing so but is so arrogant that he does not care about lying and doublespeak.

1. they have limited ability to raise funds needed to finance growth.
2. their stockholders would rather receive dividends than have earnings reinvested to finance growth.
3. government regulations limit their ability to expand into new areas of business.
4. the owners often disagree about the need to take on additional risk associated with growth.
