Jordan’s Queen Noor presses U.S. to reduce nuclear stockpile

English: A crop of a photo of Queen Noor of Jo...

Insisting “every nuclear weapon is a catastrophe waiting to happen,” Queen Noor of Jordan told Yahoo News on Tuesday that President Barack Obama must make good on a pledge he made in Prague in April 2009 to reduce the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The queen said it was incumbent on the United States to work in concert with Russia to reduce both countries’ nuclear arsenals in a process that could then coax other nuclear states to begin to disarm as well.

Georgetown University Hospital Has History of Involvement with CIA Drug Experimentation

Central Intelligence Agency Seal

A long forgotten 1977 article in the New York times, reveals that the Central Intelligence Agency partnered with institutions, including Georgetown University Hospital, to test drugs on unwitting patients.  The CIA even contributed 375,000 towards construction of a GUH building.    The relationship was exposed through efforts of Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Georgetown University is also the school which the lawyer who is fighting to prevent Ariana-Leilani from getting a second opinion graduated, and also that of his own father.  A position at Georgetown University was used as cover for the father when he was in the CIA, as highlighted in his book, King’s Counsel

Childrens Rights, Not Gun Rights, Needed in USA: The Case of 9 Year Old Ariana-Leilani Falling Through the Cracks in the USA

Watch the video broadcast of PressTV, December 19, 2012, reporting on Ariana-Leilani falling through the cracks, and the US Failure to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child after 20 years.  Why does the USA give more rights to gun owners than to children?

PressTV Reporter Marjon Asi writes:
The right to health, life, identity and protection from abuse. These are some of the major rights outlined in the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Almost every country in the UN is bound to it- except the United States and Somalia.

The UN NGO Innocence in Danger organized a press conference addressing this issue, stating the potential harm this may have on children in the United States. 

One example of the effects of US non-membership to the global children’s rights treaty is Ariana Leilani King, a ten year old girl with dual German-American citizenship, who has medical problems that organizers state are not being properly addressed by the U.S. government. 

For many Americans, this is a major cause of embarrassment, including President Obama who vowed to revive efforts to join the treaty when he first came to office in 2009. But three years later, this remains to be seen. 

Many children’s rights advocates are speaking out against the US position, demanding that the government ratify the treaty.

About Severe Chronic Neutropenia

Out of concern for Ariana-Leilani, in January 2011 Dr. Dale wrote a  letter to the US State Department and the German Embassy urging that immediate action be taken to avoid unnecessary risk to Ariana-Leilani.    Dr. Dale is a co-director of the Severe Chronic Neutropenia International Registry, and an international leader in the field of diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition.   Dr. Dale has found there is a large misunderstanding of the medical community — leading to mistreatment and misdiagnosis.     The hidden dangers of SCN are explained in his January 2011 letter — namely, the “normal” symptoms of infection often do not appear and, thus, do not warn that fatal infection quickly spreading within the SCN sufferer’s body.

Here is a video produced by SCNIR to educate the medical community and others on this rare condition.
