yoda with light saberUK one of only four major Western economies identified as ‘low risk’ in new Modern Slavery Index

Modern slavery constitutes a ‘high’ or ‘extreme risk’ in 115 countries, according to a new global ranking released by risk analytics company Verisk Maplecroft. The research concludes that Asian and African commodity producers and manufacturing countries pose the greatest challenge to companies navigating new legislation on supply chain disclosure, such as the UK Modern Slavery Act. Significantly, the Asian heavyweight exporters of China and India feature in the ‘extreme risk’ category, alongside important natural resource hubs, including DR Congo, Iran and Côte d’Ivoire.

Who? Who?

Anonymous FEMA-like vans driven by anonymous FEMA-like employees dressed in anonymous FEMA-like blue jump suits are spiriting away thousands of homeless people from soup kitchens. The best case explanation is that they are going voluntarily to be used as practice subjects at FEMA internment camps. The worst case explanation is that some form of illegal organ harvesting is going on.

Popular talk show host claims homeless people are being murdered for their organs

As he began investigating, the Alabama talk radio host says he discovered that literally thousands of people over the past five years or so had gone missing, but that the “story surrounding their disappearance(s) is the creepiest part.” Coy said that as he dug, he began to find what he believes is a common denominator in the disappearances: The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. The agency, Coy said, has been working under the radar to set up random “soup kitchens” and other areas to feed homeless people, even when it contravenes local ordinances prohibiting such activity. The day after the feeding location is set up, strange unmarked vans show up with people wearing blue jumpsuits who talk with the homeless, and the next thing anyone knows, some of them go missing. While Coy said the people were wearing unmarked jumpsuits, he said they were of a type that FEMA workers generally wear. Hodges, the interviewer, noted that there could be a couple of things going on.

Chuck Spinney: Andrew Cockburn on US Complicity in Saudi Genocide Across Yemen (Let’s Add to Saudi Funding of Clinton-CIA Creation of ISIS to Take Down Syria for Saudi Pipeline…)

Below is a stunning report describing the Saudi slaughter in Yemen and the U.S. culpability in abetting this slaughter.  This story is written by Andrew Cockburn, a good friend (caveat emptor: I am biased). Yemen has a population of almost 27 million, making it the seventh largest of the 22 Arab countries, exceeding the population of Syria (23 million).   And as Andrew shows in excruciating detal, the slaughter in Yemen is on a par with that in Syria, Iraq, or Libya.  Yet this catastrophe remains little known to the average American.  Nevertheless, as Andrew also shows, the American government, acting in the name of the American people, is complicit in creating the Yemeni horror — while American arms manufacturers are reaping billions in profits and bureaucrats and generals are landing lucrative post retirement jobs. I urge readers to carefully study Andrew's devastating report. Chuck Spinney

Acceptable Losses

Aiding and abetting the Saudi slaughter in Yemen

By Andrew Cockburn, Harpers, September 2016

The best answer I got came from Ted Lieu, a Democratic congressman from California who has been one of the few public officials to speak out about the devastation we were enabling far away. “Honestly,” he told me, “I think it’s because Saudi Arabia asked.”
