“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. Image
"When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant.
"Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.” -- Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel’s powerful words compel me to speak. After Judge Bonadio's biased and incompetent “report,” I must make my position clear because the human dignity of those falsely accused is in jeopardy. People are wrongfully imprisoned right now.
1. I, Ronald K. Noble, @RKNGlobal, never requested immunity, nor do I need any immunity to testify that neither Hector #Timerman, nor any person from the Government of Argentina, ever requested that the #INTERPOL #AMIA Red Notices be removed or suspended.
2. The corroborating evidence is overwhelming. On 12 March 2013, the highly respected French Magistrate and #INTERPOL General Counsel, Joel Sollier, stated unequivocally in writing that the validity and status of the #AMIA Red Notices remained unchanged.
3. On 16 March 2017, four years later, INTERPOL’s Office of Legal Affairs reaffirmed the same position of #INTERPOL articulated by General Counsel Sollier back in 2013. The #AMIA Red Notices remained unchanged.
4. I quote: “Los individuos involucrados han permacido siendo objeto de notificaciones rojas validas y han figurado en las bases de datos de INTERPOL como “buscados” por las autoridades argentinas. Confirmamos que esta situacion permanece inalterada.”
5. These true facts were documented by #INTERPOL in official press releases issued on 30 May & 26 November 2013. No one from Argentina, nor from Iran ever challenged the accuracy of these press releases at the time they were issued.
6. Moreover, the content of these press releases and General Counsel Sollier’s letter making absolutely clear that the #AMIA Red Notices remained unchanged and valid were widely reported in the media and never challenged by anyone.
7. On 16 January 2015, I authored an email letter to Hector #Timerman stating that on each occasion that he and I spoke with and saw one another in relation to the (#AMIA) Red Notices… he stated that #INTERPOL should keep the Red Notices in force.
8. In that letter, I specifically referred to the 30 May and 26 November 2013 #INTERPOL press releases and to the November 2014 INTERPOL General Assembly in which it was made absolutely clear by #Timerman and INTERPOL that the #AMIA Red Notices should remained valid and unchanged
9. I gave interviews to journalists in Argentina, the US and Israel making it clear that neither #Timerman, nor any person from Argentina, ever requested that the #AMIA Red Notices be removed or suspended and that they remain valid and unchanged after the Memorandum.
10. I tweeted again and again to rebut erroneous and biased conclusions drawn by Judge Bonadio in his accusatory report and to criticize the false and misleading reporting by the Clarin concerning the #AMIA Red Notices using my name but not giving me the opportunity to respond.
11. Finally, I submitted a formal request to the Argentine Court offering to provide testimony that would prove that neither #Timerman, nor any person from Argentina, ever requested that the #AMIA Red Notices be removed or suspended, but was never asked to provide testimony.
12. Where are we today? Hector #Timerman, an innocent and dedicated Argentinean civil servant, died without being given the opportunity to clear his name, and innocent Argentineans remain wrongly imprisoned -- deprived of their freedom, family and loved ones.
13. The false media stories continue unabated. I read today that immunity for me is being discussed, when I do not want or need immunity to provide truthful testimony.
14. As a matter of law, #INTERPOL cannot assert immunity or privilege to prevent a competent Argentine judge from asking me questions about statements I made as a private citizen when INTERPOL already made this information public in 2013 and 2014.
15. I completed 14 years’ of service as #INTERPOL Secretary General on 7 November 2014. I therefore was already a private citizen beginning with my email letter dated 16 January 2015, followed by media interviews, Tweets and my submission to Argentina’s judiciary.
16. But Argentine judges and prosecutors do not need to ask me to provide testimony. They can ask France to allow Joel Sollier who is a French magistrate to provide testimony. I have not seen or spoken with him since I left #INTERPOL on 7 November 2014.
17. They can also request that #INTERPOL ask any of the 13+ persons who served as Executive Committee members during 2013 and 2014 whether #Timerman or anyone from Argentina ever requested that the #AMIA Red Notices be removed or suspended.
18. They can request #INTERPOL General Secretariat to ask its staff of several hundred people whether #Timerman or anyone from Argentina ever asked that the #AMIA Red Notices be removed or suspended.

1. Petros Stathis and the Montenegrin government partnered to organize a supply chain to bring urgently needed medical supplies to protect medical staff and help Montenegro battle #Coronavirus europeanbusinessmagazine.com/business/busin…
2. The first delivery included 350,000 medical masks, 600,000 gloves, 200,000 sterile surgical masks, 110,100 N95 respiratory masks, and 3,000 goggles.
3. With only 600,000 people, Montenegro faced a huge challenge getting supplies in a market where countries like the US (population 360+ million) and France (66+ million) have placed orders of 1 billion respiratory protective face masks each.

2. How did it happen? A large man followed a frantic woman inside #Ephraim’s #Charlotte, North Carolina #karate studio claiming he was there to pick her up. She repeatedly insisted that she did not know him and that he “tried to #kidnap her. nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-…
3. The man refused to leave and tried to force himself further into the #Dojo. In #Ephraim's words: "I then went into action defending myself and got him out of the #Dojo...Once outside he attempted to attack again and was dealt with accordingly." nypost.com/2019/01/04/wou…

1. Since hundreds were killed by the #Paris #terrorist attackers at #CharlieHebdo in Jan/2015: at the #Bataclan #concerthall and the #StadedeFrance in #Paris# in Nov/2015 and on la #PromenadedesAnglais in Nice on #BastilleDay 2016, #French #police have been on #alert 24/7.
2. Each #police #investigation leads to more and more potential #suspects and those with links to #suspects being placed on #terroristwatchlists. In addition, #France has a high number of returning #radicalized fighters returning from #Iraq and #Syria and presenting real risks.
3. Consequently, #France's #terroristwatchlist reportedly grown to15,000+ names. We can't expect #French police and #anti-terrorist teams to monitor thousands of people 24/7. The best we can hope for is #citizen and #police #bravery combined as well as some luck.

Appropriate regulation would help lend the crypto field the trust needed for it to flourish.

2. While regulation regarding verifying the identities of those launching #ICOs is appropriate, @Google’s plan to ban #ICO and #crypto ads is just plain wrong!
3. In 2015, #Alphabet, @Google's corporate owner, replaced "Don't be evil" with "Do the right thing" in its code of conduct. Now, in 2018, @Google plans on "doing the wrong thing" by banning ALL #ICO and #crypto ads instead of just those found to be #scams or fraudulent.
