There are International Laws which apply in all member nations of the
UN and in International Waters. The same laws the UN investigation
concluded that Israel violated when they attacked the aid convoy
headed for the Gaza Strip. There are other organizations which are
loosely attached to the UN such as WTO.
The US has been ignoring a running by WTO that the ban on online
gambling violates the Fair Trade Agreement. So, those nations being
adversely effected by this ban have been given permission to ignore US
Intellectual Property Right up to a certain amount, don't really
remember how much but it was high. And the 301 Special Report is a
joke. Its supposed to be used to fight piracy, but the US is using it
to punish nations that have companies that compete too well against
domestic US corporations. The US isn't innocent either, we still have
people locked up in Gitmo, and we have that embarrassment called the
TSA. A Federal Agency with the right to molest women and little girls
in the name of National Security. They should advertise job postings
on pedophile forums, they'll get new employees to the boat loads. LOL
Its a system that's unsustainable, and soon, very soon, it will be
impossible to sustain it. Change is coming, whether the powers that
be like it or not. They can't stop it. Wars can't stop it, laws
can't stop it. December 21st, next year, everything is going to start
changing in a positive way, and this negative shit is going to slowly
go away and become a long forgotten memory.
