The Construction of the Evolution is a project I started to work with young people and bring light to social, political, and educational issues. We are in the beginning stages of this journey, but there will be more extensive additions in the future. It is our full intention to empower young people to voice their opinions and help develop change in cities across the globe. We will also begin to work with governments to reform policy that adversely affects the interests of their residents.


Join the Cause.

CIA Drones: HALT says the United Nations

According to an article in the New York Times on May 27, 2010, the United Nations is set to ask the Obama administration to stop drone strikes of suspected terrorist. The article by Charlie Salvage goes on to say, “a report {is expected} on June 3 to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva declaring that the “life and death power” of drones should be entrusted to regular armed forces, not intelligence agencies.” This would be a huge problem for the Obama administration and future Presidents due to the growing investments the government has made in the drone program. It seems to be conceivable that the United States government has made plans to enhance the drone program for military and intelligence purposes. Due to the fact the program is ran under the C.I.A. they would be reluctant to answer any questions about the drones. If this program is proven to have broken any laws, the United Nations could ask for the program to be suspended. Thus, this will be crippling to the United States recent progress in fighting terrorist in non-war countries.
