Subject: To mark the birth of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a former UNITED STATES Marine announces his intent to seek legal representation in order to charge the U.S with War Crimes for Human Experiments during the Gulf War (details below) and Crimes Against Humanity for its use of Depleted Uranium (DU) with absolute knowledge that its use would cause massive birth deformities and death from radiation exposure. Kenneth Nichols is currently seeking political asylum in Holland and will additionally Serve Legal Notice to the U.S. officials of his human right to Self Determination as a final action in renouncing U.S. citizenship. As a symbolic action to affirm his human rights he will Burn his U.S. Passport. For what appears to be the first time in history, a birth citizen of the UNITED STATES is renouncing his citizenship in favor of being Stateless. This action is also in protest of ongoing U.S. policies, specifically the "American Servicemembers Protection Act (ASPA)," the "Patriot Act," and most notably the blatant U.S. hostility and threats against those who support the formation of the ICC. Currently the UNITED STATES is the only Western Democratic nation opposed to the ICC. It stands with China, Israel, Libya, and Iraq, and North Korea in this position.

I invite you all to do a counter demo in the name of gently non-polarizing ways that make up . . . individual unisonic evolution . condemning each and all, even the slightest form of pyromania.
anyways, good on him
what would he do if he was totally free funded and fancied I wonder?
gotta be free totally free free as the wind
the new zappa dokuzone flick is only days old and nobody goes to see it
daar hou je dan ondanks het mooie oppeppertjes bevattende werkje een moedeloosheid aan over.
