Freedom report 4-29-09
Check out our new news landing site, newstweeters.com- the home for the Freedom Report. Our inaugural Freedom report is on the Bill of Rights, the violations that have already occurred and the efforts to strip us of more rights. This is our line in the sand. If the progressives, and the other central planners, want us to continue to build their businesses, to take care of their churches, to design the latest ipod, to cure the next great disease, then you MUST agree to our terms. Now, let’s define our terms. This is the start.

By Canadian Press 

NATO has imposed tough new restrictions on foreign journalists covering the war in southern Afghanistan, changes that could affect how much Canadians see and hear from war-torn Kandahar.

The new measures, imposed in early March, mirror the way the U.S. military manages reporters in Iraq.

The restrictions make it virtually impossible for Canadian journalists to leave Kandahar Airfield on their own to interview local Afghans and return unimpeded to the safety of NATO’s principal base.

Last month, Canadian soldiers were required to escort newly arrived journalists everywhere on the airfield, including to the dining hall and showers. A photographer from the Reuters news agency and a handful of Canadian journalists were escorted between buildings and confined to their sleeping quarters when not working.  For the rest of the story, click here… http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2009/04/29/afghanistan-media-restrictions.html

By Michelle VuWhile international attention is focused on North Korea’s rocket threat, a citizen living inside the country raised another concern that often is overlooked.

According to a letter from a Christian in North Korea to Open Doors USA, the current living conditions in the reclusive country are “very bad.”

“The price of rice continues to increase,” the person (who was not identified) wrote in the letter recently received by the Christian ministry. “Recently five women from our neighborhood were publicly executed; the youngest only age 28… Their crime? Trying to survive by looking for food. After their execution, we were no longer allowed to trade at the market.”

North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world with about 9 million citizens needing urgent food assistance, according to the World Food Program. The country has depended on food aid since the 1990s when a devastating famine resulted in the death of as many as 2 million people.

But despite widespread hunger, the North Korean government recently refused to accept future U.S. food aid and expelled all five relief groups that distribute American aid in the country.  For more, click here…http://www.christianpost.com/Intl/Persecution/2009/03/n-korean-christian-situation-inside-is-very-bad-30/index.html

By AINA Baghdad, IRAQ — What many Chaldeans have feared in the U.S. Presidential debate has come true.  “We know if America leaves they will come and kill us. They think we have something to do with them and they think we have money. The Iraqi government is happy if all Christians leave. They say they want us to stay, but they don’t mean it. If they mean it, then they would protect us more,” says Masoud Gallozi.  In the past few days Iraq Christians have been targeted for slaughter. The murder of four Christians across Iraq in just two days is raising concern among churches there that another round of religious cleansing has begun. Chaldean Monsignor Sako warns that US troop pullout is likely to plunge the country in a “civil war.” Between 31 March and 4 April five Christians are murdered in Kirkuk, Baghdad and Mosul. The prelate calls on the faithful to pray during Holy Week so “that the blood of our martyrs may restore peace.“Chaldeans in America are frustrated over President Obama’s handling of the Middle East issues.   “There were many Chaldeans fooled into believing the new administration would pressure the Iraqi government to get serious about properly protecting Chaldeans. These Chaldeans sent an e-mail of a letter by Obama and his people showing he was concerned. It was just another lie from this man. A lie that is leaving our people vulnerable. Those who supported him are partly to blame,” a frustrated James Selmu declares.  For more on this story, click here… http://www.aina.org/news/20090427183433.htm
