US War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and “Change”
The brutality with which the US government exercises its war of terror is condemned both by the court of international public opinion and by the principles of international law governing human rights. Wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan and the torture of detainees are clearly defined as war crimes by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions, the Convention against Torture and other treaties to which the United States is a signatory. Under the cover of "national security," other countries in the region are being drawn into the on-going wars.
The Principles of International Law, recognized in the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal, provide no defense for war crimes. Similarly, the Convention Against Torture, which defines torture as a war crime, provides that no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat or war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
The prohibition on war crimes is absolute, not relative, meaning that there is no justification for war crimes despite the particular circumstances in their respective countries. U.S. Justice Robert Jackson proclaimed at Nuremberg: “No grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy. The same applies to other war crimes as well. The war crimes of one’s opponents are no justification for one’s own.”

The handling of the Christmas Day bombing suspect: the scandal grows
By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, January 29, 2010
The real scandal surrounding the failed Christmas Day airline bombing was not the fact that a terrorist got on a plane -- that can happen to any administration, as it surely did to the Bush administration -- but what happened afterward when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was captured and came under the full control of the U.S. government.
After 50 minutes of questioning him, the Obama administration chose, reflexively and mindlessly, to give the chatty terrorist the right to remain silent. Which he immediately did, undoubtedly denying us crucial information about al-Qaeda in Yemen, which had trained, armed and dispatched him.
We have since learned that the decision to Mirandize Abdulmutallab had been made without the knowledge of or consultation with (1) the secretary of defense, (2) the secretary of homeland security, (3) the director of the FBI, (4) the director of the National Counterterrorism Center or (5) the director of national intelligence (DNI).

Pinging is currently not allowed. USAfrica Special report: $180 million bribery scandal, Nigeria tangles with U.S former VP Cheney.
Dick Cheney, former VP of the U.S
By Chido Nwangwu, Publisher of USAfricaonline.com and Nigeria360 e-group
USAfrica, Houston, Texas.
December 1, 2010: Richard Bruce ‘Dick’ Cheney, the controversial former Vice President of the United States is expected to be hit with charges regarding a $180 million bribery scandal in Nigeria, a carry-over of his roles as CEO at the oil and gas corporation Halliburton.
The allegations and case against him are expected to involve 5 others from key oil services corporations.
Cheney led the formation of Halliburton’s former subsidiary, the bribery-tended KBR Inc., which is based here in Houston, Texas.
The man who served as the 46th Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under President George
W. Bush will likely hear charges by the first weekend of December 2010 from Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
USAfricaonline.com understands that part of the charges will deal with KBR and Halliburton agreeing to pay $579 million in February 2009 as punitive fees for their bribing and underhand payments to Nigerian officials and businesses during the rulerships of retired late Gen. Sani. Abacha, retired Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, the transition regime of Chief Shonekan and especially the presidency of retired Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo’s very close aides/assistants have faced prosecution for their roles in taking huge bribes which are hinted and believed to have benefitted their boss.
USAfrica notes that, significantly, the U.S Justice Department and the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission have spearheaded the aggressive efforts against the bribe givers and takers. With the key bribe givers including Cheney’s Halliburton/KBR, Saipem, Technip who aggressively sought to win the lucrative and plum $6 billion liquefied natural-gas contract by giving away a whopping $178 million in bribes to Nigerian officials, former soldiers and influential types. There’s another major level to the dealings, under the umbrella name of TSJK. TSJK stands for Technip, Snamprogetti, JGC of Japan and KBR. In short a coalition of oil and gas services heavyweights operating inside Nigeria, onshore and off-shore.
On the other hand, the very popular Panalpina made what seems to be bribe and illegal payments largely to Nigerian customs officials on behalf of the more influential and powerful Royal Dutch Shell Plc in Nigeria.
USAfrica and USAfricaonline.com recall that during the contentious battle against Obasanjo’s failed quest for an unconstitutional 3rd term as President of Nigeria, we reported about the oil money pool involving the co-joined interests of Obasanjo, his then embattled VP Atiku Abubakar, Obasanjo’s business associate Otunba Fasawe and others. Some of those funds, apparently, were part of the slush fund for their major political and operations for their ruling party, the PDP and personal interests.
The potential entanglement with Cheney will highlight the international connections and underpinnings of bribery and corruption in Nigeria. But Nigerians wonder why its feared and mixed performance EFCC has lacked the will and record to fully follow and tackle ALL the leaders of Nigeria who steal monies and take bribes to ruin the access of millions of Nigerians to steady power supply or even basic fuel/kerosine and gas.
A torn on the side of current President Barack Obama, Cheney was born on January 30, 1941, and has faced several heart-disease conditions and political conflicts. But I know that the usually formidable and hard-charging Cheney has never had a slippery, embarrassing public money dance with displeased Nigerians and the EFCC. Remarkably, while Cheney’s about to face the reaches of Nigeria’s international law, Nigeria’s president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is facing allegations of having provided bribe (“transport money”) of US$50,000 (in American dollars, not his country’s Naira, to a political group of activists invited into the seat of the presidency in Abuja).
For Cheney and others facing potential prosecution, the issue remains: how, when and where technical matters of law, jurisdictional and tenure considerations play in this oily matter?

Enter Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and his ridiculous “underwear bomb”.
Now, all this time after the terrorist attack on Flight 253 (and I will call it that because whether it was done by one “lone gunman” or the state, it’s still an attempt to effect change through the use of fear so it is terrorism) what do we really know about Abdulmutallab? Well, we have been told by an agency that has lied to us many, many times that he has “confessed” to the attack because he was “radicalized” and that he received help from terrorists in Yemen. All too convenient of a story isn’t it? Billions on the line in Yemen, Obama tries to assassinated a guy there killing scores of innocent people instead, and ALL OF A SUDDEN we have this guy coming out of the woodwork with his silly “underwear bomb”.
After scouring though all his emails (I told you they keep every single comment and email forever) the only “radical” thing the media can say about him… is he’s lonely. Imaging that; a lonely student.
Well, what isn’t the MSM and President Obama telling you about Abdulmutallab that is relevant to the story? Let me fill in some blanks.

Needed: Mole Detectors at NSC, CIA, Defense
The paradigm of false flag “Islamist terrorism” deployed once again on Christmas Day by this rogue network which cuts across the top echelons of the executive departments and agencies of the US government is now frayed, worn, and threadbare. It is rent with gaping holes. The inherent disadvantage of false flag terrorism as a strategy of mass manipulation lies in the diminishing returns which this method is capable of producing: the more it is repeated, the more people begin to suspect that it is a fraud and sham. The flying patsy routine has been repeated ad nauseam, from the retarded Richard Reid the Shoe Bomber of December 2001 to Mutallab the Knicker-Bomber of December 2009. Over the past ten days, the genuine exasperation of columnists and editorial writers over this latest blatant failure to connect the most elementary of dots has suggested that all the naïve cover stories are about to collapse in a shock of recognition that networks infesting the US government do indeed actively create and produce terrorist events for their own evil purposes. We need mole detectors at the NSC, CIA, State Department, and Pentagon – not more harassment of the traveling public.Persons of good will should mobilize to expose the Detroit patsy operation as a crude and blatant false flag event designed to promote foreign wars and domestic repression. Call the White House. Call your Congressman. Write a letter to the editor. You never know who might catch on.
