It is written: "Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the
way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your
way. For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber
until they make someone fall. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the
wine of violence." -Proverbs 4:14-17
The Nuremburg War
Trials at the end of WWII
(notes from the
History Channel presentation Oct 1, 2006):
It was clearly determined that “Civilization
cannot tolerate them [Crimes against peace/crimes against humanity]
being repeated (emphasis added).”
These trials occurred to render justice
to the numerous Nations and peoples adversely affected by the Nazi War
machine. The Nazi War Machine plundered material wealth, and plundered the
economies of otherwise peaceful nations. The war also caused the
destruction of cultural heritage.
When asked about the blame behind
causing the war, politicians blamed soldiers, and soldiers blamed
politicians- both of which were “only doing their duty.”
The Nazi (German) Officers
who were subdued were forced to give account for their actions. The High German Officials responsible
for the war were charged with “war of aggression-” bending the minds of
children and perpetrating crimes against humanity. Some either committed suicide prior to the
trials as did Adolf Hitler, or those Officials who were apprehended and put
on trial gave pleas of “not guilty” as if they were not doing anything
wrong. Despite the “not guilty” pleas, most
were hung or executed by firing squad.
Those who pulled the
strings that led to war was not acceptable. It is precisely this situation that the
U.S. chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trial, Robert Jackson, had in mind
when he said in his opening speech on November 21, 1945:
"Let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German
aggressors, the law, if it is to serve a useful purpose, must condemn
aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in
judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and
aggression by those in power against the rights of their own people only
when we make all men answerable to the law."
“This album shows the killers as ‘human,’ and thereby
challenges our comfort level. It forces us to ask, How is it that
‘ordinary’ people in ‘civilized’ nations can become killers and accomplices
to mass murder?” –Sara Bloomfield, Museum Director, United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum
A SERIOUS ETERNAL REBUKE
It is
written:
"Why does the
wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, 'He won't call me to
account'?" -Psalm 10:13
“The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he
knows their day is coming,” -Psalm 37:12, 13
"The Son of man will send out his
angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and
all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there
will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like
the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear."
-Matthew 13:41-43
"Do I take any pleasure in the death of
the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they
turn from their ways and live?" Ezekiel 18:23
"But whoever blasphemes against the Holy
Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." -Mark
3:29
Have you not
heard? Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
For many readers the First World War may seem a
senseless, disastrous conflict that had neither purpose nor justification
and that remained outside the control of political and military leaders. In
his book Cataclysm, David Stevenson offers a different view. He sees
it as a “cataclysm of a special kind, a manmade catastrophe produced by
political acts...” He also
believes “the killing was begun and prolonged through
deliberate political will.”
The “victims” of the war, he adds “owed their fate to deliberate state
policy, decided on by governments that rejected alternatives to violence …”
Thus, the war was shaped by
politicians who aimed at specific political goals and accepted the
high casualties and cost associated with accomplishing those goals. –Book
review by Colonel Robert A. Doughty (Professor and head of the Department of
History at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; 2004)

ALERT: America is
currently experiencing a serious unaccountability problem in its leadership!
The information below reflects on the Bush Administration;
however, the Obama Administration is by no means better as it heads America
towards socialism/communism. Terrorism Digest
WARNING!
In [America's] Black's Law Dictionary (6th Edition) the word Sovereignty
is defined as "... The power to do everything in a state without
accountability,- to make laws, to execute and to apply them, to impose
and collect taxes and levy contributions, to make war or peace, to form
treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign nations, and the like." The
key issue here is: WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY which explains the runaway
corruption upon this American Nation. "Communism
is power based upon force and limited to nothing, by no kind of law and by
absolutely no set rule."
-Lenin's
Collected Works, Vol. XVIII, page 361.
Absolute sovereignty belongs to God
only.

The evidence against
American high ranking officials
is not lacking; however, some "have" immunity from criminal
indictment while they are in office for acts that occurred during their
tenure. The moment their terms are over, they can join the other defendants!
This is an unusual trial
because WE the public are the court of last resort.
"It is occurring in the form of a book that lays out the
evidence that high- officials of the George W. Bush administration have
ordered, authorized, implemented and permitted war crimes, in particular the
crimes of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. We are
proceeding to build this case against what we call the “torture defendants”
in this way because at this point there appears to be no other means of
holding high Bush administration officials criminally responsible for their
war crimes. [In regards to Abu Ghraib prison in Bagdad, Iraq, and other
places through the world: Afganistan, Iraq, Guanta'namo, secret CIA prisons,
and other places presently unknown.]
The Convention
Against Torture defines torture as: "any act by which severe
pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally
inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third
person information or a confession."
The Law, International and otherwise (e.g. Geneva
Convention; U.S. War crime Statute), prohibits torture in any circumstances,
by anyone- even if ordered or committed by a head of state. These
agencies must be forced to disclose vital information to the American
people, who have a right to know about what the U.S. government is doing in
their name.
Condoning American torture emboldens other governments of the world to
continue what is unfortunately their own all-too-common practice.
