Texas Senator Ted Cruz has called on the US to withdraw from membership in the UN Human Rights Council after the body condemned Israel’s 50-day assault on Gaza in the 2014 conflict with Palestine. The United States was the only country that voted against the resolution passed by the UNHRC, which calls on both Israel and the Palestinians to prosecute alleged war crimes committed during the conflict a year ago. It also calls on both sides to co-operate with the International Criminal Court’s preliminary investigation.

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
