Karadzic will be in jail, but what about Bush, Blair, Clinton ... If you are a member of the Western alliance, you are free to commit genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity,  ... [according to] ... a writer and blogger Neil Clark. Attached to the "Rasa USA Today," Clark asks why are people responsible for much greater crimes than those for which Radovan Karadzic was found guilty, still at large and why will they never be criminally prosecuted. A year ago, the report "Counting Bodies", collected by international physicians, says that at least 1.3 million people died in the 'war against terrorism' led by the US in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.   US worse than Hitler This dreadful figure must be added the numbers killed during and after the NATO bombing in Libya (more than 50,000), with starvation due to lack of basic means of subsistence and famine. There are also those who died in the Iraq war and those who were killed by terrorists in Syria by armed and financed by the West and its regional allies. -------/\/\/  The evil if you are dark-skinned, or Serbs As regards this analyst, the International Criminal Court is biased as the Tribunal in The Hague. Before that court has so far indicted 36 accused and they are all dark-skinned Africans. White war criminals (unless they are Serbs) do not have to worry. -------/\/\/ - In reality, the Western neo-conservatives and their allies are responsible for a large number of deaths, destruction and human suffering, even compared with the dark days of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler. But they are not brought to trail in The Hague - said Clark and specify: - If you no one is really above the law, then we would see George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Tony Blair and Clinton in the courtroom; and not only Radovan Karadzic. What is worse, Clark believes, is that the Western war lobby is trying to use the charges against Karadzic as a justification for their own bloody interventionist policy. The war in Bosnia is not, as the neoconservatives argue, an example of "what happens when the West does not intervene." In contrast, the war in BiH has caused quite excessive interference of the West. - We should all be focusing our attention on the "evil Karadzic," but let's not go too deeply into the question of how the secessionist wars in Yugoslavia started and when he lit the fuse - says Clark. For the US and its allies, Yugoslavia of the 1990s was the "sacrificial" country. The West has supported those who aspired to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, such as the Croatian leader Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic in Bosnia, says Clark. He estimated that they were much more extreme in their policy than "official specific bad guy" Slobodan Milosevic, who [was in the way with a united or federated] Yugoslavia. During 1992, the Lisbon agreement was reached on the peaceful division of BiH and Karadzic was one of the signatories. However, the agreement has sabotaged the intervention of US Ambassador Warren Zimmerman, who asked Izetbegovic to withdraw his consent. - This does not reduce the charges against Karadzic for his later actions, but without the intervention Zimmerman, it is likely that the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina could have been avoided - Clark notes and points: ... Does anyone really can not believe that Karadzic would have faced with 40 years of imprisonment had he served US interests in the Balkans?  Indonesian dictator General Suharto committed not one, but two massacres during his career and the number of those killed exceeded one million, but he died a free man after 86 years. Unlike Karadzic, Suharto was a favorite of the US State Department, said Clark. - International Tribunal for War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia is very good on the radio judgments against Serbs, but declined to file charges against leaders and officials of NATO for war crimes committed during the illegal bombardment of Yugoslavia in 1999. When asked why the court does not consider the crimes of NATO, former Chief Prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal Carla Del Ponte replied that it was then "perfect justice". Part of the problem for indictment against Western leaders, Clark thinks, is that the International Criminal Court has not adopted an amendment to its Rome Statute to come under the jurisdiction of the "war of aggression".  [comment:   see below] - What we have now is a system of international justice, according to which those who commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, are prosecuted only if they are "official enemy" the United States, but those who start wars are protected with immunity.  So Karadzic, who, according to the indictment responsible for the deaths of several thousand people, was sentenced to 40 years in prison, while those responsible for several million dead, after initiating the wars of  aggression, remain free to enrich themselves and to begin new military conflicts. - Indicates Clark for "Rasa USA Today".  English http://archive.is/drTMu Original Serbian http://www.vesti-online.com/Vesti/Svet/561374/Karadzic-ce-u-zatvor-a-sta-cemo-sa-Busom-Blerom-Klintonom ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT If one subscribes to what is, presumably (and ostensibly), a 'universal justice' ideal -- upon which is based, the establishment  of supranational bodies with jurisdiction over the free peoples of sovereign, foreign nations in the name of the concept known as 'international law' -- then the real problem here is that this is a 'universal justice' court which has no teeth and, furthermore, that this cannot be remedied without a serious military challenger willing to invoke the threat of military might to coerce the powers that be, should they play unfair (as they do) ... so it's yet another joke institution, to be manipulated by the powerful at the expense of the weak in geopolitical terms: (a) the Western camp (effectively, under protection of the military might of USA) and Israel have 'unsigned' themselves from the Rome Statute, & USA holds financial & trade powers over less powerful nations outside the aggressive Western & Middle Eastern coterie seeking global hegemony; (b) the US has threatened less powerful nations with sanctions should they fail bow to the US (and associates') demand  for impunity to commit war crimes.    (c) more significantly, USA has threatened military action against any country that attempts to bring the US & its accomplices to account for war crimes. Finally, all things are not & cannot be 'universal' or 'equal' -- ever.  Nor should they be. Therefore this is a faulty doctrine.

Kangaroo Court Convicts Karadzic

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/337162-karadzic-convicted-crimes-court/ Kangaroo court convicts Karadzic Published time: 25 Mar, 2016 10:11 By convicting Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic of genocide and crimes against humanity, the war crimes tribunal in The Hague is not bringing peace, reconciliation or closure – but a cynical victor’s justice, an endorsement of ‘might makes right.’ According to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Karadzic was found guilty of ten out of eleven counts of the original indictment, including the so-called “genocide” of an estimated 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica and the “joint criminal enterprise” to create an ethnically pure “Greater Serbia” on the ruins of Yugoslavia. Thursday’s verdict surprised precisely no one. The ICTY was pretty much created to prosecute Karadzic – or rather, the complete Serb political and military leadership during the Wars of Yugoslav Succession in the 1990s. The very purpose of the ad-hoc tribunal, a brainchild of the Clinton administration’s “human rights interventionists,” was to deny any legal legitimacy to the Serbs, while bestowing it on the US and its regional clients and proxies. While Germany was the principal outside backer of the governments in Slovenia and Croatia when they sought to secede from Yugoslavia in 1991, by the following year that role was taken over by Washington. Embracing the narrative of “democratic” Slovenes, Croats and others waging the righteous fight against “Communist Serbian aggression,” the US backed the Muslims in Bosnia in reneging on the power-sharing agreement with the republic’s Christian majority. Both Serbs and Croats took up arms in response. By 1994, however, the US had midwifed an alliance between the Croats and Muslims, and later arranged for the Serb leadership – civilian president Radovan Karadzic and military commander Ratko Mladic – to be indicted for genocide and war crimes. A major feature of US intervention in the Balkans was the way in which it bypassed, co-opted or sidelined the United Nations. While insinuating NATO into the UN mission until it finally took over, Washington systematically torpedoed peace talks until it could hijack the process with a self-appointed “contact group” and stage the end of the Bosnian War in Dayton, Ohio in 1995.     The Dayton miracle: Bosnia armistice, still alive at 20 (Op-Edge) https://t.co/nlH7ykhrizpic.twitter.com/ZVEHSOaCkQ     — RT (@RT_com) November 21, 2015 One key element in the process was the US-inspired creation of the ad-hoc tribunal in May 1993. Yes, it was established by the UN Security Council, in Resolution 827. However, the Security Council claimed to act under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, allowing the creation of “measures to maintain or restore international peace and security.” The very inception of the ICTY required stretching the definition of “measures” to include judicial power the UNSC clearly lacked – and therefore could not delegate. Even if the tribunal were perfectly legitimate to begin with, its pattern of indictments should have been a signal something was amiss. The ICTY and its backers clearly believed any Serb atrocities were systematic and deliberate, while those committed by anyone else were random or incidental. While every single senior Serb official in present-day Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia was hauled before the court, only a few lower-level Croat, Bosnian Muslim or Albanian officials were even indicted – and most of them were acquitted outright, or on appeal. Only Serbs were charged with genocide – by definition, a systematic crime. Only Serbs were accused of a "joint criminal enterprise," a category specifically constructed for the tribunal by a US jurist. On May 27, 1999, two months into the illegal NATO war against Yugoslavia, the Tribunal indicted Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes and genocide. In July that year, the very same tribunal decided NATO’s declaration it was not guilty of anything was good enough, and merited no further investigation. “NATO countries are those that have provided the finance to set up the Tribunal, we are amongst the majority financiers… so let me assure that we and the Tribunal are all one on this, we want to see war criminals brought to justice and I am certain that when Justice Arbour goes to Kosovo and looks at the facts she will be indicting people of Yugoslav nationality and I don't anticipate any others at this stage,” NATO spokesman Jamie Shea told reporters on May 17, 1999. Telling enough? Milosevic was arrested in 2001 by a government installed in a US-backed coup, which sent him to The Hague via extrajudicial rendition. He died in March 2006, under mysterious circumstances, before the trial could be concluded. On July 11, 2013 – a date deliberately chosen to coincide with the alleged “genocide” in Srebrenica – the ICTY rejected Karadzic’s motion to dismiss the charges. Among the “evidence” cited by US judge Theodor Meron was a hearsay claim that Karadzic had decided “in the early 1990s” to kill a third of the Muslims, convert a third to Orthodoxy, while the rest would leave on their own. While such a plan did exist, it was the brainchild of the WW2 Nazi-allied Croatian government, and its intended targets were Serbs living in present-day Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The ICTY was accusing the Serbs of doing what was actually done to them 70 years prior – and when Karadzic tried to argue the point, the prosecutors dismissed WW2 as ancient history. Wednesday’s revelation by Peter Robinson, Karadzic’s legal adviser, that the prosecution chose to share 200-plus pages of exculpatory evidence less than 24 hours before the verdict, is the perfect illustration of how the Tribunal has mocked the rules of due process.     Just rec'd 208 pages of exculpatory material in #Karadzic case from #ICTY prosecution this afternoon. Seriously, prosecutors?     — Peter Robinson (@PeterRobinICTY) March 23, 2016 Ironically, the one count on which Karadzic was acquitted demonstrates that the black-robed enablers of “bombs for peace” can’t stomach some of their own nonsense. They ruled that atrocities in seven municipalities did not quite rise to the level of genocide, as they could find no proof of intent. Yet they continued to maintain that what allegedly happened in Srebrenica in 1995 met the definition – because they had to, as “Srebrenica” has become the universal excuse for “humanitarian” mass murder. “The falseness of the entire situation here defies description,” Karadzic said in his opening defense statement. Thursday, he was proven right.

Anatomy of US-Anglo & Franco 'Responsibility to Protect' Lies - Destruction of the Libyan State

Article SOURCE http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/ Anatomy of US-Anglo & Franco 'Responsibility to Protect' Lies - Destruction of the Libyan State http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/ Hillary Emails Reveal True Motive for Libya Intervention by Brad Hoff       January 6, 2016   Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention The New Year’s Eve release of over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails from the State Department has CNN abuzz over gossipy text messages, the “who gets to ride with Hillary” selection process set up by her staff, and how a “cute” Hillary photo fared on Facebook. But historians of the 2011 NATO war in Libya will be sure to notice a few of the truly explosive confirmations contained in the new emails: admissions of rebel war crimes, special ops trainers inside Libya from nearly the start of protests, Al Qaeda embedded in the U.S. backed opposition, Western nations jockeying for access to Libyan oil, the nefarious origins of the absurd Viagra mass rape claim, and concern over Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves threatening European currency. Hillary’s Death Squads A March 27, 2011, intelligence brief [archived here] on Libya, sent by long time close adviser to the Clintons and Hillary’s unofficial intelligence gatherer, Sidney Blumenthal, contains clear evidence of war crimes on the  part of NATO-backed rebels. Citing a rebel commander source “speaking in strict confidence” Blumenthal reports to Hillary [emphasis mine]: Under attack from allied Air and Naval forces, the Libyan Army troops have begun to desert to the rebel side in increasing numbers. The rebels are making an effort to greet these troops as fellow Libyans, in an effort to encourage additional defections. (Source Comment: Speaking in strict confidence, one rebel commander stated that his troops continue to summarily execute all foreign mercenaries captured in the fighting…). While the illegality of extra-judicial killings is easy to recognize (groups engaged in such are conventionally termed “death squads”), the sinister reality behind the “foreign mercenaries” reference might not be as immediately evident to most. While over the decades Gaddafi was known to make use of European and other international security and infrastructural contractors, there is no evidence to suggest that these were targeted by the Libyan rebels. There is, however, ample documentation by journalists, academics, and human rights groups demonstrating that black Libyan civilians and sub-Saharan contract workers, a population favored by Gaddafi in his pro-African Union policies, were targets of “racial cleansing” by rebels who saw black Libyans as tied closely with the regime.[1] Black Libyans were commonly branded as “foreign mercenaries” by the rebel opposition for their perceived general loyalty to Gaddafi as a community and subjected to torture, executions, and their towns “liberated” by ethnic cleansing. This is demonstrated in the most well-documented example of Tawergha, an entire town of 30,000 black and “dark-skinned” Libyans which vanished by August 2011 after its takeover by NATO-backed NTC Misratan brigades.  [comment:  they're probably mostly in Europe and otherwise dispersed, rather than all killed? ] These attacks were well-known as late as 2012 and often filmed, as this report from The Telegraph confirms: After Muammar Gaddafi was killed, hundreds of migrant workers from neighboring states were imprisoned by fighters allied to the new interim authorities. They accuse the black Africans of having been mercenaries for the late ruler. Thousands of sub-Saharan Africans have been rounded up since Gaddafi fell in August. It appears that Clinton was getting personally briefed on the battlefield crimes of her beloved anti-Gaddafi fighters long before some of the worst of these genocidal crimes took place.   Al-Qaeda and Western Special Forces Inside Libya The same intelligence email from Sydney Blumenthal also confirms what has become a well-known theme of Western supported insurgencies in the Middle East: the contradiction of special forces training militias that are simultaneously suspected of links to Al Qaeda. Blumenthal relates that “an extremely sensitive source” confirmed that British, French, and Egyptian special operations units were training Libyan militants along the Egyptian-Libyan border, as well as in Benghazi suburbs. While analysts have long speculated as to the “when and where” of Western ground troop presence in the Libyan War, this email serves as definitive proof that special forces were on the ground only within a month of the earliest protests which broke out in the middle to end of February 2011 in Benghazi. By March 27 of what was commonly assumed a simple “popular uprising” external special operatives were already “overseeing the transfer of weapons and supplies to the rebels” including “a seemingly endless supply of AK47 assault rifles and ammunition.” Yet only a few paragraphs after this admission, caution is voiced about the very militias these Western special forces were training because of concern that, “radical/terrorist groups such as the Libyan Fighting Groups and Al Qa’ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) are infiltrating the NLC and its military command.” The Threat of Libya’s Oil and Gold to French Interests Though the French-proposed U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 claimed the no-fly zone implemented over Libya was to protect civilians, an April 2011 email [archived here] sent to Hillary with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold” tells of less noble ambitions. The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: to obtain Libyan oil, ensure French influence in the region, increase Sarkozy’s reputation domestically, assert French military power, and to prevent Gaddafi’s influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.” Most astounding is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African currency. In place of the noble sounding “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) doctrine fed to the public, there is this “confidential” explanation of what was really driving the war [emphasis mine]: This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA). (Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.) Though this internal email aims to summarize the motivating factors driving France’s (and by implication NATO’s) intervention in Libya, it is interesting to note that saving civilian lives is conspicuously absent from the briefing. Instead, the great fear reported is that Libya might lead North Africa into a high degree of economic independence with a new pan-African currency. French intelligence “discovered” a Libyan initiative to freely compete with European currency through a local alternative, and this had to be subverted through military aggression. The Ease of Floating Crude Propaganda Early in the Libyan conflict Secretary of State Clinton formally accused Gaddafi and his army of using mass rape as a tool of war. Though numerous international organizations, like Amnesty International, quickly debunked these claims, the charges were uncritically echoed by Western politicians and major media. It seemed no matter how bizarre the conspiracy theory, as long as it painted Gaddafi and his supporters as monsters, and so long as it served the cause of prolonged military action in Libya, it was deemed credible by network news. Two foremost examples are referenced in the latest batch of emails: the sensational [1] claim that Gaddafi issued Viagra to his troops for mass rape, and the [2] claim that bodies were “staged” by the Libyan government at NATO bombing sites to give the appearance of the Western coalition bombing civilians. In a late March 2011 email, Blumenthal confesses to Hillary that, I communicated more than a week ago on this story—Qaddafi placing bodies to create PR stunts about supposed civilian casualties as a result of Allied bombing—though underlining it was a rumor. But now, as you know, Robert gates gives credence to it. (See story below.) Sources now say, again rumor (that is, this information comes from the rebel side and is unconfirmed independently by Western intelligence), that Qaddafi has adopted a rape policy and has even distributed Viagra to troops. The incident at the Tripoli press conference involving a woman claiming to be raped is likely to be part of a much larger outrage. Will seek further confirmation. Not only did Defense Secretary Robert Gates promote his bizarre “staged bodies” theory on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” but the even stranger Viagra rape fiction made international headlines as U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice made a formal charge against Libya in front of the UN Security Council. What this new email confirms is that not only was the State Department aware of the spurious nature of what Blumenthal calls “rumors” originating solely with the rebels, but did nothing to stop false information from rising to top officials who then gave them “credence.” It appears, furthermore, that the Viagra mass rape hoax likely originated with Sidney Blumenthal himself.

I suspected all that Viagra rape hysteria was made up. Rape is a weapon of war, but not in the way that the public thinks.  It's exploited for Western propaganda and lies. Meanwhile, Eurpean women getting raped by the foreign populations that these corrupt European leaders are flooding Europe with, and it's ignored and covered up. These politicians are disgusting. The West tells so many lies that it's probably always safe to assume the opposite of what we're being told at any time by politicians and the controlled media.
