Oh, I pray that you will be safe, Angie.

What a great inspiration. You go Girl!!! You deserve RESPECT from the media

I am so proud to be BA fan.

I am so proud of Angie. Happy for her, Brad and the kids, too. Have a safe trip, Angie!

A beautiful woman and a beautiful soul. Please be safe Angie and you rock!

Thanks JJ for another wonderful thread. Go Angie go! a beautiful person inside and outside.

She is an inspiration to all! I’m sure this type of work helps her deal with her own grief. Truly an amazing woman!

This woman is just so amazing. I truly love everything she does. I’m happy we have her around.

OK, now I’m leaving. Good Night Real Deals!!

Thanks JJ for the new thread specially this kind. Angelina is really a wonderful person. I’m proud to be her fan.

Good night Maria. it’s a good day.

Omg she never ever stops surprising me..she is so wonderful..

Karma really is real!

She has done so good for so long damn it she deserves the beutiful life she has now!

Fearless, when it comes to helping others! She deserves every ounce of respect and more that comes her way!

Jared thanks, your the bomb!!

thanks JJ for the inspirational thread.

Guli- I will celebrate with my water!

Thanks Jared for this. As I said before she really is an inspiration to me with all that she does and I just love her fearlessness in going to these places and bringing awareness. May God bless you Angie and don’t ever let anyone bring you down. Have a safe trip back home.

anjelina jolie is so fake and steals husbands. Ya she does good but she’s also evil!

ok…who hates angelina jolie ????? I LOVE YOU ANGELINA YOUR THE BEST :)

Thank you Jared for this wonderful new thread and the article with the details of what she did there.

This woman is so devoted and dedicated to her mission. Nothing will stop her. I hope that she will always be strong and healthy to carry on and all these people who suffer every day to benefit from her great efforts. Way to go Angelina Jolie!

And now that her mission is over I wish her a safe return back to her family in NOLA!!

Someone I know must have missed her a bit.. ;)

Wow, I just opened up the old thread now there is a new one, I will just skip the old one. Thanks JJ, you’ve been working hard today.

Angie, we are praying for your safe return home.

Thank you so much Jared!!!! I was wondering how Angie was in Africa. Thanks for keeping us informed. I too wish her a very safe journey home.

As usual, Angelina never ceases to disappoint us. I am very proud to be a fan, and will toast to her!

It is no surprise as Hollywood celebrates itself with the overflow of materialism, Angelina is in Chad.

She is amazing.

I hope she comes back with an orphan from Chad. That child would be so lucky. Angelina you are my inspiration. What an incredible woman. Be safe! I hope all of us can learn a bit from your generosity of spirit - especially the rich and famous.

JJ thank you for this….
I love and admire Angie more and more.

im really happy for her.

Jared, many many thanks and you know you are the best!

Susie water or sprite is fine :lol: Hey I was asking Medi do you remember how your kids were at 9 months. It’s been so long for me I forget :-( I know they are teething and love trying solid foods and are crawling or walking and exploring all the time. :lol:

BTW- E! has an Angie bio (old one)

I just love our Angie what a courageous, giving kind hearted woman. She really is an inspiration as her Bradle says.

If Shiloh is just getting to trying solid foods, it is probably the reason why in recent the photos, she is eyeing Z’s cracker with such intensity. Shiloh probably hasn’t been given crackers yet since the adults are afraid she’s not ready for them so she’s perplexed why Big Sis Z appears to be chomping on something that Shiloh has never had. :lol:

Oops–time to go home. Goodnight all and have a good time on the new thread!

Hello to all, especially to:

- Alexanderina (belated happy b-day),
- Guli (saying hi before you go for your hiatus in Turkey),
- Curly (curious about your project that you mentioned in previous threads),
- African Girl (always a big fan of your post),
- MF (how’s your grandson?),
- 4Q (how are you coping so far with NY winter?)
- And others (long day at work working with psychotic patients – I tend to get a moment of dementia myself!!!!).

Anyway, today I thought I will unlurk, (if that’s even a proper term) - just one post to share my two cents opinion about the controversy among the fans here at JJ.

Let me make a leap here – I am assuming that majority of the Jolie-Pitt fans that are posting here are adults and mature individuals. So, I just thought that perhaps, we all need some breather, and come to our senses, so that we can remind ourselves that as adults, there are certain expectations on how we should behave in public, especially in stating our opinion. Yes, this is a public blog, which is more reason why we, as adult should observe proper decorum in handling ourselves. Just because we are all hiding under a made-up names, under the privacy of our own space, it still does not justify our “hysteric attacks” against each other over “trivial” things (I’m using the word “hysteric” and “trivial” as a matter of perception).

I must say, that I respect and understand everyone’s opinion here, although I may not agree to some at times. The reality is, we all stand by our conviction, and we can all argue until the end of time, that our individual opinion is correct. But at the end, no one will win (after-all, this is not a contest).

Ultimately, it is really up to us, as individual thinker, to decide what position we take (depending on our values and philosophy). And at some point, there has to be some individual accountability in maintaining boundaries and conduct of appropriateness. I will spare everyone here of my tedious lecture (which I tend to do, considering that in my line of work, it’s what I do all day).

But seriously, the only way that we can all agree, is to focus our energy, more on the positive that this family (the Jolie-Pitt) inspires us - not just because their talented artists, and they have beautiful children, but because they are great human beings (who are also like us, who goes through challenges and disagreements, and hopefully, are able to sort it out, like any mature grown ups) – that’s why we adore them.

As fans/admirers of this beautiful family, we should all unite, and be proud

Good Post

Love the pic (org Ruth says) how true!!!!!!!!

in this pic, Z is not there .

because it’s the same clothing as the last pic when Z was in her mother’s arm, i wonder if may be they dropped off Z to a neighbor for play group. if that’s the case, Angie must have plenty of time with Shi. so instead of her carrying Shi, she is letting Brad have his turn.

Lola actually she did get her cracker right after Z did, I’ll send the link where grandma goes to Shi after Z and offers her one. Isn’t it amazing how alert all of them are.

OK I am sure you have all seen this but Jared;s new thread reminded me of Angies video on UNHCR…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ApKymqaWaQ

Guli, we posted the same thing at the same time!!!

So what…she’s always scribbling in some f*&*ing spiral notebook.

Still doesn’t touch Oprah’s 40 million and lifetime commitment to education nor Paul Newman’s 120 million so far to charities nor Bill Gates $258 million to fight malaria nor Bono’s 724 million funding for AIDS in Africa.

Thanks Jared.

Angie mades me proud to be her fan. She is truly amazing and I admire her more and more each day.

Bless her and her family along with all the people she tries to bring a small measure of comfort. He have a wonderful person on their side with that big hear of hers.

Rock on Angie, rock on!

In one of the pics Jane Pitt is actually giving Shiloh a piece of a cracker, but the baby doesn’t seem to be interested.
Maybe she wants just Z’s cracker, no other one will do.

where can I found this cute pic ?

____________________
Your point of view lacks perspective. Angelina is only 31, and I suspect that by the time she reaches the age of Oprah, Paul, Bill and Bono she will have accomplished as much, if not more, than what they have.

But what you really seem to miss is that this isn’t a competition and that each contribution is just as valuable, regardless of the dollar amount.

Also, I’ll think you’ll find that many people who travel to do this kind of work take notes, not just Angelina.

Since you’re so high and mighty, what have YOU done lately?

brit brit SAYS:
You must be about 12 years old. PEOPLE CAN’T BE STOLEN, OK. A GOOD WOMAN IS A GOOD WOMAN, I KNOW YOU ARE JUST TOO YOUNG AND LACK THE KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THIS.

Just wrap your little mind on wishing well for brit brit, she needs it.

ANGELINA IS AWESOME!!

Sorry party people mom is on the phone, talking and talking and talking. I’m just happy she can talk!

In the future Says:
Great comment.

A WISE PERSON KNOWS THAT IS NOT THE SIZE OF THE GIFT BUT THAT YOU DO GIVE.

Angelina, keep doing what you’ve been doing. You have a lot of fans.

Stay safe and looking forward to to hear your reports on television (maybe CNN) on this trip.

E had on True Hollywood Story with Angelina. It has been updated to include footage of her, Brad & Matt at TGS premiere and included the death of Marcheline Bertrand.

We planned this awhile ago. We missed Princess Z’s Birthday. We just felt we all needed a party!

I think JV does the _ PR manipulation. He needed some press so he threw his daughter under a bus. Notice when she and Brad got together then Shiloh was born, he was at every opening wishing them well, not remembering Maddox or Zahara’s names and trying to gain public sympathy. He is not a healthy man to have around kids. Angie is right!

I just think about how there would be so much many of us wouldnt be aware of without the Bonos Angelinas Scarletts, Oprah’s. Like these people or not AS people, but please always give them their propers for using the celebrity they’ve been blessed with to shine a light on those who’s plight may not have been known to us so personally as it has since those who didnt have to bring it to our attention chose to.

So funny. If Angie had been in the photograph she would have been accused of denying her birthed baby in favor of the adopted one!

Someone wanted the pics of Shi being offered a cracker, my computer is being slow right now but the link is at the end of AJ’s foriegn realtions thread, they are from eastwest news, sp maybe try that site too.

Never mind. got the post. Here are the pics with Shiloh being offered a cracker and more of them on their walk.

****************************************
Too true. Some folks are really stretching and desperately searching for any reason to vent something negative and critical where Angelina is concerned. The pixs of the beautiful baby girls were a bitter pill, but to see grandmom Jane Pitt loving her granddaughters has driven some over the edge. Remember, some of the deluded its still think that Jane Pitt communicates on a regular basis with _____ even after _____ went negative on Jane Pitt’s son in a misguided attempt to make his life miserable. Jane Pitt loves her son, wants him happy, and sees how happy he is now. _____ does not know and cannot relate to how a mother feels about her children because she has no children.

I posted the link for the pictures of the girls and it dissapeared.

More power to Angelina Jolie. All that she’s doing for the poorest, most oppressed people in the world is commendable. Good luck and Godspeed Angelina. I’ll always pray for your safety.

I hope this one posts. I’m trying for the third time. Pics of the girls where Shi gets offered a cracker.

http://eastnews.com.pl/news/wyniki.php?fraza=brad%20pitt&strona=1

Can we just not compare Angie and Oprah? Like one poster said, both are doing great things to help people and both should be applauded for their efforts. Helping is helping, no matter the methods used.
+++++++++++++++
I agree, all people who dedicates their time and money to help people are good in my book. I don’t care if is Oprah, Angie, Ashley Judd, Scarlett, Bono..etc.

Shoot, I lost my post when I switched from one computer to another. It probably will appear soon, but here is the link when grandma offers Shi crackers right after Z gets hers …I know I have bigger pics somewhere, I’ll find it.

http://www.eastnews.com.pl/news/wyniki.php?fraza=brad%20pitt&strona=1

Lagy G-ITA, it just breaks your heart to see so many people living under these circumstances. Thanks to people like Angie, Bono and others at least it wakes us up and make us thank our lucky stars instead of complaining about small trivial things to do something to help out. My sons always worked for habitat for humanity when they were in high school, now they are hooked and continue it.

KT22— ITA, that is the whole point to bring attention and she does it so well.

Hiya KK1,kmillz, vanessa,GB to AJ and the rest, hello I am trying to catch up.

Sheri and Izzie, I am on my second glass, hey Susie are you on your second glass of water yet :lol: This is a pseudo-party since we didn’t really let everyone know in advance, just wait till May27th I’ll be joining in from Turkey:lol:

AG-where are you, sure miss you, I left you a post at the other thread and a message, join us with your insightful and very humorous posts.

Estelle are you back yet?

I really feel Jane and her husband got a shocker when it finally did hit them that Brad’s Angie is a real life lesson in learning how you cant judge the book until you read it. Angie heart and truth about herself proved out over what they saw on the outside in the media and such and by her own mouth at times. I wont presume to know Mr & Mrs Pitts mindset about the past now but my gut saying that they finally after how they see Brad experience life now, they have seen the past more clearly and not through even the rose colored lensess they child once did maybe. You see some joy on Brad’s moms face and that got to count for something and it is telling some truths no matter how some dont want it to.

I think Shiloh looks like both of her parents. I don’t think she favors one over the the other.

You know what, believe what you want to believe and criticize Angie all you want, whatever. Just remember that you are very narrow minded and could use some time to educate yourself on matters you don’t clearly know anything about.

Guli- I tried to post that east news link 3 times and it wouldn’t go up. I’m glad you got it up as it has some cute pics. I just finished my hot chocolate. How is your wine going?

Guli, Susie I had my second glass and the wine is away! Guli this can just be one of our tastings. We really have to have a blow out in May!

I still say the thread is haunted! Things appear, disapear…

Well Susie, you and I are both having problems posting, but all of mine appeared after awhile so will yours. I am on my seocnd and final glass i need to wake up early. If TP was around I’d be in trouble she always offers me Ouzos and they knock me out :-)

Ulala- than you for that link, so cute…

Sorry folks for duplicate posts. I am switching to my sons computer which is much faster. BRB….

I think they (Angelina and whomever is travelling with her) must have left Chad and are on their way home. UNHCR does not post info on their website until it is safe to do so. I think Chad time is what 12-14 hours ahead at least of US time. Anybody know what the time difference is?

Maria!!!

I hope you are still posting/lurking! How are you, girl? I was posting this morning, then I had to go catch me some shuteye. Now I am at work, and blogging in between my actual work (how I hate it when work comes in between lurking/posting) and I found your shout-out to me.

I missed you and your insightful/funny posts. I wish you would post again, just ignore whom you don’t like/don’t agree with. I know it can be exhausting, but Jared’s is also exhilarating in its own way with the diversity/different personalities we encounter all the time, all in the name of the Jolie-Pitts.

Wow, reading all the above posts re Angie’s UNHCR activites make me so in awe of this 31 year old. And the fact that she is inspiring all the other actresses/celebrities to do good too, is beyond awesome. No wonder Brad looks so content — he has his baby girl, and such an incomparable baby momma. I betcha he can’t even remember the kind of life he had with the _. To all those delusional fanistons still hoping he would wake up one day, cart Shiloh along and go back to the _, boy, if you believe that I have a bridge I want to sell you.

Did anyone see the Oprah special last night? She built a school in South Africe for girls, 10-12 years olds who show exceptional leadership characteristics and academic performance. She has made a commitment to educate these girls from 7th grade through college! Now that is someone who is making a difference for a Nation. What change actually comes out of AJ visits? Increase in knowledge of the unfortunate…..well they can’t eat that or take it to the bank. AJ please quit jet setting and picture taking and actually DO SOMETHING if you have the financial resources!! OPRAH you are a HERO!!!

I have no doubt Oprah would turn her back to you and your hateful *** for tat comparing. IT’s not what Oprah or Angelina are about or the rest doint anything and surely more than you who dont do nothing but attempt to cause devision. People like you is what makes the world harder to get along more than anyone, people who try to divide even them trying to help long term and short term. People hungry now, women getting raped now, babys dieing now, dont you realize that.

Sheri-we will call this the practice run, OK :lol: We will have many other occasions, such as the opening of O13 in May before Shi’s bday…

BTW- can someone tell me if AMH is just Plan B/Brad production or is it a mess like the Departed ie. multiple producers and our Bradley doesn’t get credited again, since I am sure its going to be an excellent but very sad movie?

************************************************************
Guli - Thanks for the link..these are the most photos that I have seen on the girl’s day out. Gramma Pitt must be enjoying helping out her son with the babies that he wanted for so long. She has to be so happy to see her son attain the dreams he had the courage to follow. I am proud of the Jolie Pitts that they live life on their terms, and look like they are loving every minute of it.

Hi everyone.

Guli, Sheri, Susie- am I too late for the party? I have a passion fruit smoothie by my bedside. :)

I’m loving all the news coming from this family right now. Visits from grandma, the sisters in double stroller walks and Angelina’s continuing commitment to her refugee work. Hope Brad has a nice suprise for her when she gets home!

Izzie- tahnk you for defending the family. I have never looked at other sites posts because everyone says they are evil and racist. I don’t know how anyone could ever say mean things about children, that is sick beyond belief. Thank you again for “drunk blogging” (he hee)

Sheri- your posts got eaten too? :evil:

RE: Oprah comparison …

If memory serves me, it was Bono (then Ms. Jolie) that brought an “international” spotlight on countries like Africa. I happen to see Oprah’s show last night about, her new school, and I “applaud” her for all that she has done with her wealth. Not to mention, Bill & Melinda Gates. Now, just imagine if how much good all of their money could do if THEY gave 1/3 of thier earnings to the “various” organizations supported by Ms. Jolie’s income (compared to thiers).

Whatever she’s there for a few hours and then back to her fancy hotel.

What is the UN doing to stop the war?

Sheri- where did you find my posts?

bermy- get comfy, a smoothie works just fine. ITA, I love seeing them being able to live like a normal family and just be able to go on a walk. It must be so frustrating for them when they are in LA, 30 paps trying to get the shot! Yech, it must be a horrible feeling to go through that with babies.

Sorry about the double posts…it’s either the site or the wine…

Susie - I am laughing at your comment to me about “drunk blogging”… could be dangerous to my health…especially the part about going over to the Evil Sea of Perez.

It’s so hard for me to sign off. When I think I’m ready, I get pulled back in…the nature of enjoying JJ’s so much and the ever witty people I find to have a laugh with.

I just got through watching Beyond Borders. I had never seen it before. I figured tonight was a good night to watch it.

What else is being served at the party? Just bevs and cheese? I’m hungry, but guessing food is being saved for the big blowout.

I was a lurker for all the other parties, the biggest of which I remember was Brad Liberation Day.

Funny that the publication said that the girls are with their nanny, in the pic of them with their grandmother Jane.

Anywho, it is just good to be back with the intelligent bloggers her on JJ. I went over to Perez, and all I read ws hate and ignorance. I usually don’t go over there, I just went because I read there were some pics of Zee and Shi.

I love the way Shiloh is looking up at her grandma from the stroller.

Thanks Jared, for the new thread about Angie’s UNHRC visit to Chad. She is totally AWESOME! INSPIRING! So proud to be her fan.

BTW, what’s the occasion for the party?

Guli- oh yes, the shoe battle. My kids still don’t always wear their shoes, we go barefoot alot. It is so annoying thoughwhen they need them and for some reason it is a pain in the a– to get them on them and as soon as they are in the carseat (not a Britney either) they rip them off. Thank go for velcro and Uggs.

Lucy- I do believe Bill & Melinda Gates gave a couple of billion to their fund for helping with vaccinations,aids,water, micro loans, etc. with most of it being directed towards Africa, and lets not forget Warren Buffett who donated almost his entire fortune in conjunction with the Gates fund.

Izzie- Drunk blogging is probably safer than drunk dialing which I have been guilty of in my life. :lol:

bermy girl- I never heard of Brad Liberation day before, I like it. LMAO

181
umm…maybe my passion fruit smoothie has gone to my head. I should have said I love the BAMZS fans who post here!

Speaking of which - guli, you still here? I think of you as my jj elder since you were responsible for me de-lurking. How are you doing?

Izzie - I hope they remain in NO. I love that city. But really anywhere but LA because there’s far too much scrutiny there.

Sheri - I would love to, but have to leave at 11:30 - we have an inspection from the Feds and the State in the morning and I have to appear to be clear headed to be ready for a “record inspection”. I work at a hospital and we need to pass this inspection in order to keep our doors open. Sounds dramatic, but someone complained that we restrained a patient without cause and knew the agencies to contact, hence the Feds and State visit.

I’ll be on tomorrow from work after my part of the inspection is over. We got plans to make for our upcoming parties… Enjoy your evening. It was fun tonight, despite the low turnout…much more intimate.

Good night to my partying buds….

You just can’t be this stupid! Chad is a very poor country, war going on in and around its borders, doubt if a five or four or three or two or one star hotels by whatever your standards are even exists in the whole country. Angelina had to travel through a sandstorm to reach the remote camp. I have actually been in a few and nothing prepares you for the sand hitting you and stinging and the near sandout/blackout of light. It can be a frightening experience. She then stayed in a refugee camp, sharing the primative conditions that the residents have to live in each day. She also pays all her own expenses.

I’ve never been to FF, but have read the comments in Perez Hilton.

Dirty Denise, Izzie,Sheri and any others who venture to engage some of those people: may the force be with you!

What I find fascinating about the internet is that we’re forced to become more aware of the different types of mentalities that exist in this world. I mean let’s face it - it’s possible to live your lives whereby the people you work with, socialize with, etc. think and look and act like you.

A place like Perez forcibly reminds you that the world is filled with the good the bad and the ugly.

I honestly think that, while the regulars here obviously don’t look or act alike, there is a certain commonality or sense of values (?)(other than being BAMZS fans) that we share.

It would be fascinating if one day we had a convention (like the trekkies do). I’m sure we’d be amazed.

Susie, Sheri, Guli, Bermy Girl - Great fun tonight. You gave me a laugh about the drunk blogging versus drunk dialing, Susie. Now I’m guilty of both….

You guys are so funny, I am twenty minutes past sleep, but well worth it.

Nighty night, for real. Be safe in your travels - Peace and out….

kk1 - are you still there? Where did you stay in a sandstorm?

I usually enjoy staying on the sidelines when negative comments are being made, but tonight I cannot restrain myself from some of the criticisms levied at Angie.
To compare her humanitarian efforts with mega-rich Oprah and Bill Gates is totally ludicrous. As was so eloquently posted earlier, they all deserve to be applauded for their individual efforts. As Angie has said before it doesn’t matter if you’re a mother or a wealthy person on a local or worldwide stage everyone makes a difference in their own way.
And in response to J.H.’s #129 post. She had a school built in Cambodia for 500 hundred students including school uniforms and school supplies, in addition to funding the Maddox-Chivan Children’s Center that cares for children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. In Ethiopia she helped fund an AIDS clinic, and she plans to do more in that country. Not to mention the medical equipment for the pediatric ward in two hospitals in Nambia. Those are just a few of the concrete projects she has put her money towards. Sorry…but she does more than fly around the globe and take notes. As has been mentioned earlier, it’s criticism just for the sake of criticism without any validity.

On a lighter note…I agree with you guys (org Ruth, Angelah & Izzie) about the photo reminding you of the alternate ending of MAMS. I thought of that scene immediately when I saw the photo.

Okay…back to the sidelines.

It’s been stated someplace that most of the woman who identify with Angie are stronge independant woman. Woman who can as the song goes “bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, never let you forget your a man.” Ok stepping away from the wine glass but you know what I mean. We all know our self worth, it’s not dictated by a man. We see the world, we worry about our own corners of it, but we get the big picture. I don’t have kids but from chatting with Susie I see and understand other peoples fierce protection and love, but at the same time allowing them to be their own little people. We are not cookie cutter. Stepping off of the soap box!

Guli I’m right there with you! Thanks for the run down. Somebody said that Brad had nothing in the future (hater) that should be posted at least on every other page of a thread. If I don’t chat with you good night. It was wonderful having you here for a full evening. We are very fortunate!

Sheri, even if Brad and Angelina having nothing really on, its not because they can’t have something on if they want to but because they choose to. More then once, both Brad and Angelina have indicated that they see their professional lives taking a different turn from acting. Sure, they may still act in smaller roles, smaller films. Both want to focus on their families. As for their movie careers, I think Brad will do more production and Angelina focus on her humanitarian work.

it will take the publicity heat off them and their families and I think they are ready for that.

Ok guli I have hit the wall! Good night all you wonderful women! It has been a very good night at JJ. Safe return for Angie. Everyone have a good day tomarrow (today) !

Hi Iylian,

ITA1 They will both have as many movies as they want to make since they are both in high demand. But, they will pick and choose depending on the script as well as alternate so that they can be together as a family. I just love how they ignore all the nay-sayers and move on with their plans. Just love them. How have you been Iylian?

Sheri, still here?

Thought I’d copy and paste this article written by ANGELINA JOLIE herself, appearing in the Washinton Post. Here is the link - one you may wish to click on as I believe we would want to encourage the Washington Post of our interest in both DARFUR and Angelina Jolie’s efforts. So glad there are people like Angelina who cares.

Justice for Darfur
By Angelina Jolie
Wednesday, February 28, 2007; Page A19

BAHAI, Chad — Here, at this refugee camp on the border of Sudan, nothing separates us from Darfur but a small stretch of desert and a line on a map. All the same, it’s a line I can’t cross. As a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, I have traveled into Darfur before, and I had hoped to return. But the UNHCR has told me that this camp, Oure Cassoni, is as close as I can get.

Sticking to this side of the Sudanese border is supposed to keep me safe. By every measure — killings, rapes, the burning and looting of villages — the violence in Darfur has increased since my last visit, in 2004. The death toll has passed 200,000; in four years of fighting, Janjaweed militia members have driven 2.5 million people from their homes, including the 26,000 refugees crowded into Oure Cassoni.

Sudanese refugees from Darfur rest near a camp in eastern Chad this month. (By Alfred De Montesquiou — Associated Press)
Sudan Official Accused of War Crimes
The International Criminal Court’s prosecutor in The Hague outlined what he called operational, logistical and command links between Sudan’s government in Khartoum and horse-mounted nomadic militias it recruited and bankrolled to carry out mass killings in the Darfur region, and he named a member of…

Attacks on aid workers are rising, another reason I was told to stay out of Darfur. By drawing attention to their heroic work — their efforts to keep refugees alive, to keep camps like this one from being consumed by chaos and fear — I would put them at greater risk.

I’ve seen how aid workers and nongovernmental organizations make a difference to people struggling for survival. I can see on workers’ faces the toll their efforts have taken. Sitting among them, I’m amazed by their bravery and resilience. But humanitarian relief alone will never be enough.

Until the killers and their sponsors are prosecuted and punished, violence will continue on a massive scale. Ending it may well require military action. But accountability can also come from international tribunals, measuring the perpetrators against international standards of justice.

Accountability is a powerful force. It has the potential to change behavior — to check aggression by those who are used to acting with impunity. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has said that genocide is not a crime of passion; it is a calculated offense. He’s right. When crimes against humanity are punished consistently and severely, the killers’ calculus will change.

On Monday I asked a group of refugees about their needs. Better tents, said one; better access to medical facilities, said another. Then a teenage boy raised his hand and said, with powerful simplicity, “Nous voulons une épreuve.” We want a trial. He is why I am encouraged by the ICC’s announcement yesterday that it will prosecute a former Sudanese minister of state and a Janjaweed leader on charges of crimes against humanity.

Some critics of the ICC have said indictments could make the situation worse. The threat of prosecution gives the accused a reason to keep fighting, they argue. Sudanese officials have echoed this argument, saying that the ICC’s involvement, and the implication of their own eventual prosecution, is why they have refused to allow U.N. peacekeepers into Darfur.

It is not clear, though, why we should take Khartoum at its word. And the notion that the threat of ICC indictments has somehow exacerbated the problem doesn’t make sense, given the history of the conflict. Khartoum’s claims aside, would we in America ever accept the logic that we shouldn’t prosecute murderers because the threat of prosecution might provoke them to continue killing?

When I was in Chad in June 2004, refugees told me about systematic attacks on their villages. It was estimated then that more than 1,000 people were dying each week.

In October 2004 I visited West Darfur, where I heard horrific stories, including accounts of gang-rapes of mothers and their children. By that time, the UNHCR estimated, 1.6 million people had been displaced in the three provinces of Darfur and 200,000 others had fled to Chad.

It wasn’t until June 2005 that the ICC began to investigate. By then the campaign of violence was well underway.

As the prosecutions unfold, I hope the international community will intervene, right away, to protect the people of Darfur and prevent further violence. The refugees don’t need more resolutions or statements of concern. They need follow-through on past promises of action.

There has been a groundswell of public support for action. People may disagree on how to intervene — airstrikes, sending troops, sanctions, divestment — but we all should agree that the slaughter must be stopped and the perpetrators brought to justice.

In my five years with UNHCR, I have visited more than 20 refugee camps in Sierra Leone, Congo, Kosovo and elsewhere. I have met families uprooted by conflict and lobbied governments to help them. Years later, I have found myself at the same camps, hearing the same stories and seeing the same lack of clean water, medicine, security and hope.

It has become clear to me that there will be no enduring peace without justice. History shows that there will be another Darfur, another exodus, in a vicious cycle of bloodshed and retribution. But an international court finally exists. It will be as strong as the support we give it. This might be the moment we stop the cycle of violence and end our tolerance for crimes against humanity.

What the worst people in the world fear most is justice. That’s what we should deliver.

That THS on E is still negatively stanted. They keep mentioning Colin Farrell having a relationship with Angie. They both denied that anything ever happened, but they continue to leave that in there. I guess they still need to paint her in a slightly negative role. I love the part where she organized the school children and protested to keep the couch, black man. She was an activist then. It is in her blood…peace.

Oh, the cover of this week’s Star is just too much.

SAME OLD LIES RE THE TRIANGLE THAT DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE! BRAD WROTE __ A NOTE, ANGELINA MAD, BRAD KISSED A HOT RED HEAD (CBLANCHETT IN BB ROLE)!! NO WONDER THE STAR IS SELLING ONLY 500,000 COPIES A WEEK OR LESS. BONNIE FULLER, EDITOR IN CHIEF OF THE STAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB, THE EDITOR OF THE STAR THAT WORKS FOR HER HAS BEEN FIRED, AND THE NEW STAR EDITOR WORKED AT THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. WHY PUBLISH THE STAR IF IT IS NOW TO BE A CLONE OF THE NAT ENQUIRER? JUST JUNK!!!

But I have no doubt that some idiots will believe these lies and repeat them.

Lylian,
Thank you so much for posting Angie’s article. How anyone can doubt her sincerity and passion is beyond me. I hope those people who think that she has scheduled this trip as a “convenient excuse” to not attend the Oscars would read this and be ashamed of themselves. I sincerely hope that the ICC would make a difference and bring these men to justice.

What Angelina Jolie Could Encounter at the Council on Foreign Relations
By GARY SHAPIRO

Staff Reporter of the Sun

February 28, 2007

During a week when a former vice presidential candidate and policy wonk strode into the Kodak Theatre and won an Academy Award, it is only fitting that a famous actress may walk through the door of a prestigious policy institute in New York. Actress Angelina Jolie, another Oscar winner, has been nominated to join the Council on Foreign Relations, an elite uptown club of policy mavens.

If approved, the star of “Tomb Raider” will join the likes of Alexander Haig, Brent Scowcroft, and Henry Kissinger at the august organization, which may be loosening its straight-laced image a tiny bit.

The brunette bombshell will add star power to a group more used to hushed halls and high-brow discussion in mahogany-paneled drawing rooms than Hollywood red carpets and velvet ropes.

To be sure, Warren Beatty, Michael Douglas, and Ron Silver are already among the group’s members, who are drawn from the echelons of business and public sectors, law government, journalism, nonprofit, and the academy. But no actresses appear among the roster of more than 4,000 members, though Glenn Close has attended briefings.

“Will members stare? You bet,” the founder of Public Affairs Books, Peter Osnos, said. He said the definition of the establishment has clearly changed. There were many ways to qualify for the Council, and being a humanitarian was certainly one of them.

Ms. Jolie grew aware of refugee crises while filming in Cambodia and has since visited more than 20 countries as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner of Refugees. A member of the council, Noel Lateef, said Ms. Jolie is someone who has a demonstrated interest in international affairs.

What might she wear at the council, whose dress code requires “business attire?” Perhaps the traditional suit she wore in an advertisement for the fashion label St. John. She may not show too many of her tattoos, though the one that reads “know your rights” could relate to policy.

Describing two layouts in Vogue, the senior features editor at Style.com, Laird Borrelli, said Ms. Jolie wore off-the-shoulder, flowing dresses that were “Grecian” and “goddess-y.”

“She has a certain panache,” Mr. Lateef, who is also the president of the Foreign Policy Association, said. “There’s no doubt she will add to the glitter of the events.” Newsweek’s editor, Jon Meacham, concurred: “I think it is safe to say that Ms. Jolie would indeed add a certain élan to meetings – though multilateralism has its own kind of sex appeal.”

“She has been nominated for term membership. The council is considering her nomination,” a spokeswoman for the council told The New York Sun. Term memberships are five-year stints for those under age 36. The nomination will be considered at the council’s next board of directors meeting, the spokeswoman said. If accepted, she may then apply for full membership at the end of her term membership.

Mr. Lateef said the council has a careful selection process and those nominated have already been vetted. The council was begun in 1921. Prominent members included Elihu Root, Averell Harriman, and John Foster Dulles. In 1922, the council launched its flagship quarterly, Foreign Affairs. Today, women comprise about a quarter of the council’s membership.

Walking up the marble staircase to the council’s traditional secondfloor rooms, the actress might encounter journalists (Brokaw, Rather, Couric, Walters) or a gaggle of university presidents (Sexton, Brademas, Oliva, Bollinger, Rupp, Sovern). She could chat about banking with Felix Rohatyn, art with Tom Krens or Glenn Lowry, or politics with a former president who especially loves Tinseltown, William Jefferson Clinton. She might talk about film with agent Michael Ovitz, Hollywood attorney Bertram Fields, or a former president of Time Warner, Gerald Levin.

“Angelina gets along with everybody,” the deputy head of public information for UNHCR, Jennifer Pagonis, said.

No daycare at the council may be a let down for Ms. Jolie, who gave birth to a child, Shiloh, last May, and is also raising two adopted children with actor Brad Pitt.

In addition to policy papers and ambassadorial addresses, the council occasionally shows documentaries with a foreign policy content. Ms. Jolie herself made a documentary about western Kenya with a Columbia professor and council member, Jeffrey Sachs.

Mr. Holtzman, who works for the firm Brown Lloyd James, said it was natural for the council to consider someone like Ms. Jolie. He said culture has become a major force in international affairs. A Newsweek senior editor, Jonathan Alter, said she is as qualified as, or more so, as other term members — many are bankers and lawyers with less actual experience overseas than she possesses.

The program director of National Committee on American Foreign Policy, Daniel Morris, gives Ms. Jolie credit for humanitarian work, but cautioned that it would take more than a Hollywood actress to effect the kind of change needed to solve complex issues facing Africa

I really feel Jane and her husband got a shocker when it finally did hit them that Brad’s Angie is a real life lesson in learning how you cant judge the book until you read it. Angie heart and truth about herself proved out over what they saw on the outside in the media and such and by her own mouth at times. I wont presume to know Mr & Mrs Pitts mindset about the past now but my gut saying that they finally after how they see Brad experience life now, they have seen the past more clearly and not through even the rose colored lensess they child once did maybe. You see some joy on Brad’s moms face and that got to count for something and it is telling some truths no matter how some dont want it to.

Thanks for the articles.
Please, give the washington post the hits, even if you don’t leave a comment.

It is important to make a point to the media that the fan base is not all about glossy pics, red carpets and movies.

We care, we get the message, we do our best to help, educate ourselves and others. Angelina’s work as a goodwil ambassador reaches us and many more, it is not a vanity crown, it is a heartbreaking job, especially at times like these, when the people who care feel powerless, not being able to cross that line.

It would be great if someone could give a link to WP’s email and/or comments section; so that we really can send a loud and clear message.

Lylian, thank you so very much for posting that link to the Washington Post.

What an amazing person! She has gone to this very dangerous part of the world to bring light to the suffering of these people, and to fight for justice for them. It’s funny, I remember once saying that I wish I had the words of a poet to describe her stunning beauty, and now, after reading her piece, I realize that I could use those same words to describe her incredible inner beauty.

Hi guys,

This is my first time blogging in justjared. I couldn’t help myself to write something, simply because this topic touches my heart dearly. Personally, I am a student who is currently majoring in Political Science: International Affairs. I am taking this route in my life because ever since I was 18 years old, I have always had the extreme passion to travel the world particularly the third world countries and reach out to people who seem to be abandoned in the world we’re living in. I have great desire to work for the UN sooner or later and be involved in numerous non-profit and humanitarian organizations.

Honestly, I have never seen any movies of Angeline Jolie, but all I can tell you is that I have quite a few clips of her documentaries of her adventures and missions to various third world countries, as a UN goodwill ambassador. I am not familiar with her work as an actress, but I deeply respect her for all the good deeds that she has been doing so far globally. Sometimes, I envy her because she has the great power to make a difference while various people like me have to put up extraordinary efforts just to make a voice in our society. I would always look forward on meeting her and working with her on humanitarian affairs if our paths happened to meet at some point.

She and jared never disapoint me… I am amazed by HER actions and committments while the group of cheap scarecrows choose to burn their vain lives and do nothing but spending money on showing off their loose-hanging asses at Oscars…

Thank you Jared for the thread. You do a wonderful job of giving we fans a place to view and support the Jolie Pitts. Love, peace, and safety to dear Angelina.

and I need to add one more part to my list of burning question on CFR and Angelina’s nomination

– so what happens when the Council vet through and ”decides against” –ok, we the council decides NOT to accept Angelina’s nomination .
– is this what’a building up to in the weeks to come?
– hopefully this nomination is not using Angelina’s name in vain for raising awareness to an almost century old council.

Thanks for all the artciles :D

And well if Warren Beatty, Michael Douglas, and Ron Silver are group’s members I really hope she gets in.

So this old article for last summer must be true. Here is the portion about Brad and his brother.

Bonner Springs Elementary School got a rare chance to help students in faraway lands this week. Since deciding to adopt a new reading series, the school no longer needs the materials from the previous one, which had been in use since 1996.

Kim Mitchell, assistant principal at the school, said she didn’t want to just throw the books away, but when she began looking for ways to give them away, it was neither cheap nor simple.

“We couldn’t give these ones away,” Mitchell said.

She said she’d hoped the books could be used by schools whose materials were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, but publishers had already stepped forward to donate books to those affected districts.

Often, Mitchell said, that publishers would gladly collect old materials to give to poor school districts, but the previous series was so old that no support materials — test forms and workbooks — were available anymore for it.

The school collected more than 4,500 books since classes ended this year, Mitchell said. She said she found nonprofit organizations that would take the books, but they wanted 65 cents per book to ship them overseas. The school couldn’t afford to pay the more than $2,900 in shipping, Mitchell said, but she soon heard good news from Karen Borg, a sixth-grade teacher at Clark Middle School

Borg happened to be from Springfield, Mo., where she had known Doug Pitt, brother of actor Brad Pitt. The brothers had founded a divisionof the Convoy of Hope, which distributes food and other resources to those in need around the world, including emergency relief services.

The books will probably go to schools in Latin America, said Kenton Moody, international director for Convoy of Hope. Moody said the organization would first send samples of the books to educators of schools that might receive the books so the teachers can evaluate the materials

so proud of her.why is the media not reporting this positive news,jus wondering

-here’s another great bit from rainy (original is in French and the Golden Globes’ shot of B&A are on the cover of today’s La Presse from Montreal):

QUOTE
Pretty Angelina and Brad Pitt in Montreal
Marie-Claude Lortie
The Press

Pretty Angelina and Brad Pitt, which form the most famous couple in the world in the category “actors with defense of humane causes”, will be in Montreal the nearest autumn to take part in the next Promesse conference of the millenium, learned the Press.

They will succeed thus the American former president Bill Clinton and the actress Mia Farrow, invited most prestigious of the first Promesse conference of the millenium, which took place last November and whose topic was the fight against the poverty of the children.

The former secretary general of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, will also count among the guests of 2007, like Muhammad Yunus, pioneer of the microcrédit in Bangladesh, which made it possible thousands of the poor to leave itself misery, which was worth the Nobel Prize of peace to him last year.

The Promesse conference of the millenium - whose next topic and the precise dates must be made public in the next weeks - is organized by Daniel Germain, the founder of the Club of the breakfasts of Quebec. It is while attending an event in company of Brad Pitt, at the time of the passage of the actor to the international Festival of film of Toronto last September, that Mr. Germain offered to the spouse of Angelina Jolie to take part in the conference of 2007.

Pitt is recognized for a long time like an engaged actor, in particular in the causes concerning peace with the Middle East and the access to the dwelling for most stripped.

Impassioned of architecture, it offers its support in particular to the foundation Habitat for Humanity of the American former president Jimmy Carter.

But it is especially when it started to attend the actress Angelina Jolie, very active near organizations fighting against the poverty and itinerant ambassadress of the High commissionership of the United Nations for refugees (HCR), that Pitt started to be largely perceived like an influential personality in the humane field.

Mrs. Jolie, it, is known universally for her social engagement and this, since many years.

Before having a baby with Pitt last spring - it was confined in Namibia, to protect themselves from the paparazzis, but also to draw a positive attention to Africa -, it adopted two children in countries in the process of development: Maddox, in Kampuchea and Zahara, in Ethiopia. Since, the two small children were also adopted by Brad Pitt, but the couple let know that it would not marry as much as the marriage for the couple of the same sex would not be legal everywhere in the United States.

Always in the humane vein, the family comes to buy a house and to settle with New-Orleans, by saying openly that was to help to draw the attention to this zone disaster victim by the hurricane Katrina two years ago. It will not be the first visit in Montreal for Mrs. Jolie, who knows well the city since it there went twice to turn The Bone Collector in 1998 and Taking Lives in 2003.

Last year, nearly 3000 people attended the conference Promesse of the millenium, a concept inspired by engagements of the United Nations for the fight against poverty.

Among them, one found 750 guests having paid 1000 $ each one (what gave right a second ticket, to give to a student or a non-profit organization). For the other participants, the price of the tickets was 100 $.

Last year, only Bill Clinton and Mia Farrow were remunerated for their presence. The seal of the first - the amounts were never made public - was versed with its foundation while the seal of Mrs. Farrow was given to the United Nations.

The profits of the conference were versed with the Club of the breakfasts of Canada, an organization which allows some 200.000 Canadian children of going to the school by starting the day the full belly.

God bless her and her family. She is so sweet and caring. I wish the Jolie Pitts: great health, long life and a beautiful,loving time on this planet.

Peace~

Us Weekly is sticking to their adoption story. They are repeting that they didn’t go to the oscars because she was in Africa, he was in Nola and “Us has learned that the couple is also on the hunt for someone to help take care of the Vietnamese newborn that the pair plans to adopt”.
The good news is that are not part of the cover main 3 stories this week.

if that conference thing is true!count me in,i dont care if the ticket is 5gran.i will go for it!just to see them both.

Good Morning everyone!! The article Angelina wrote on he trip is amazing. She is so well spoken and articulate. I am very proud of her an dall she does for refugees, this woman has single handedly raised the horrible plight of refugees. Her name suits her perfectly, she is an Angel.

On Sunday, Rick Neal landed in Chad’s capital N’Djamena (via Paris) to begin a month-long mission looking at internally displaced people (IDPs) in Chad and the Central African Republic. He sent the following in today:

“Sunday was Oscar Night in Los Angeles, but there in Paris Angelina Jolie was making her way to the flight to N’Djamena, surrounded by a coterie of Air France staff. I found myself with her again yesterday morning, on the small UN plane coming out to Abeche, the humanitarian outpost in eastern Chad. She flew on to Bahai in the northeast, to shed light on the situation of refugees coming from Darfur. For a few minutes, at least, Refugees International got to bask in the light of humanitarian celebrity.

I recently finished reading a great book about a boy from Sudan who became a refugee when he was around 8 and is now “a lost Boy”. It is a first hand account of his life from the time he had to run from his village to living in a refugee camp for over 10 years to his life in America and the dificulties he has here. It is called “What is the What” and Dave Eggers(a great author) wrote it as it was told to him by Velentino Achuk Deng, I highly recommend it.

Amaya- are you there? How is Jammy?

thanks Hiya it looks like Grandma Pitt might be holding Shiloh? Hmmm can’t really tell. I hope we can see bigger ones soon.

GRANDMA PITT WAS CARRING BABY SHILOH.

Thank you Tiny Pics.
Pictures are tiny, but you can still see that Grandma Jane and the kids had a nice time together. Jane Pitt is their only grandma now, and I think she will spend more and more time with them. I hear that the love one feels for the grandchildren is very special.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW MADDOX CALL JANE AND BILL, GRANDMA AND GRANDPA?

Is that James (Angie’s brother) in the white muscle shirt?????

If he call grandma and grandpa ,he’s a very smart boy, more than I thought. And Jen aniston havent any chance with this boy in the game, now we know because she loose the match.

Jennifer Aniston is NEVER mother material

I am glad that Jen did not have a kid during the marriage. Imagine, Jen needs a whole support system around her. She would call her girlfriends on the tinest detail. How can Jen take care of a baby if she cant even take care of herself.

She should stick to the 2 dogs. Human being is a lot more complicated. Dogs are easier.

I’ve never seen Jen felt comfortable while holding Courtney Cox’s baby. Jen looked so constipated while holding Cox’s kid.

I could imagine every ones disgust at [Unknown] new bikini photos. which actually don’t look bad.

More about why Angie may be joining CFR from the Style section of today’s Washington Post

Talk About Your Serious Roles
By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts
Wednesday, February 28, 2007; Page C03

We always said foreign policy was sexy, and now here’s proof: Angelina Jolie is on the shortlist to join the power wonks at the Council on Foreign Relations, the exclusive New York think tank. The actress was nominated by council member Trevor Neilson, her pal and adviser on political and global matters. “There is no better way for someone who is involved in international relations to build a deep understanding of these issues,” he told us yesterday.

Jolie’s bid, which required two other letters of recommendation, was approved by the membership committee last week and is now “under consideration,” said council spokeswoman Anya Schmemann. If she’s voted in at the June board meeting, the 31-year-old Jolie will receive a five-year “term” membership (typical for younger applicants) and join 4,000 deep thinkers such as Bill Clinton, **** Cheney, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan , George Soros, Barbara Walters and Lisa Ling.

You’re asking yourself: Why? Jolie, currently a U.N. goodwill ambassador, can already meet with just about anyone on the planet. (And she’s influential enough to have a piece about Darfur published today on The Post’s op-ed page.) But at the council, she’ll get a crash course in global policy from the experts. “She takes learning about these issues very seriously,” said Neilson. And the wonks get a worldwide sex symbol who draws cameras every time she breathes.

We’re guessing she gets in.

I strongly am believing Colin Powell and Condileeza Rice and possible Pres Carter are the writers of letters of recomending for her. For sure I bet Colin Powell. I hope we one day learn who the true writers are.

Oh yeah. Hmmmm let’s see. Since she got with Brad she have done five trips on the behalf of UNHCR as Goodwill ambassador in Pakistan, Cambodia, India, Costa Rica, and Chad in which Brad accompanied her in three of them. She was a spoke person in Davos last winter and both Brad and Angie will be spokespersons in Montreal Canada this fall to talk against poverty and HIV/AIDS. Angie is also a well respected humanitarian and activist to even be considered as a member in the council of Foreign Relations.

And as for her carrier. TGS is doing very well in the domestic Box Office and she already has three movies that are coming out this year and next year. She recently finished shooting “A Mighty Heart” and she has another movie in development “Atlas Shrugged”.

So as I said go by a clue. It’s not that expenssive.
