JAY JANSON
Former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark has often reminded people that the Nuremberg Principles of International Law long enshrined in the UN Charter, are by Article Six of the US Constitution, an integral part of the law of the land.
Noam Chomsky, Prof. Emeritus of MIT, long considered the dean of dissent in America, warned in 1991,“Every US President after the Second World War would have been hanged if tried under the same Nuremberg Principles, which the Nazis were tried under,“ and Chomsky has continued to repeat and update his statement to include recent presidents Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama.
Chomsky has never actually called for the prosecution of the American presidents he obviously believes deserve hanging, probably because as Chomsky has often noted in his lectures, the courts, both national and international, are controlled by the very people most deserving of indictment.

In November of 2014, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark published an open letter to President Obama, Ramsey Clark to Barack Obama: Stop the War in Ukraine! The text of the letter follows:
The overwhelming majority of the population of the U.S. is against being dragged into another disastrous war. Nothing is more dangerous than the aggressive U.S./NATO troop movements right on the borders of Russia. Sending U.S. destroyers into the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea; scheduling threatening U.S./NATO war games and troop movements in East Europe; and imposing sanctions on the Russian Federation is a threat to peace on a world scale.
• We have seen the cost of past and continuing U.S. wars, which enrich the military corporations while impoverishing the targeted countries as well as poor and working people here in the U.S. The recognition of a government in Kiev that overthrew the elected government, seized power and appointed extreme right-wing groups to head the police, army and national guard in order to pull Ukraine into NATO membership makes the U.S. complicit in the complete denial of the rights of the Ukrainian people. It is also a provocation against the entire region.
• This massive U.S. intervention in the Ukraine and ever-increasing campaign to surround and isolate Russia must end. I therefore demand:
1. That the U.S. government and all its public, secret, official and unofficial agencies immediately cease all forms of intervention in Ukraine, including ceasing all material and political aid to fascist and right-wing organizations within that country;
2. That all sanctions and threats of sanctions against the Russian Federation be dropped — sanctions are an act of war;
3. That U.S. military forces immediately be withdrawn from the Eastern European region and that NATO’s expansion and provocative actions against Russia be ended.”
—Sincerely, Ramsey Clark
[dropcap]A[/dropcap]fghanistan is the one nation where the United States is engaged in major warfare with a country that is a member of the International Criminal Court. The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, said November 14, 2016, that she had a ‘reasonable basis to believe’ that American soldiers committed war crimes in Afghanistan, including torture. The international prosecutor has been considering whether to begin a full-fledged investigation into potential war crimes in Afghanistan for years. In Monday’s announcement, the prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, signaled that a full investigation was likely.[New York Times] (Over the past 15 years, we have been treated to an almost routine repetition of scandals: hunting children from helicopters, blowing up hospitals with drones, GIs photographed urinating on corpses, all fueling anti-U.S. propaganda, all brutalizing and shaming the United States. During all eight years of the Obama administration, the president has misrepresented why a coalition, which has included every nation of Caucasian population on Earth, even tiny Andorra, Monaco and Liechtenstein, fights a war of occupation in support of an imposed corrupt government of drug warlords against the former government of Taliban (‘Students’ in Dali language), who freed the nation from a catastrophic civil war between US funded war lords in 1996 after those war lords defeated the Kabul government two years after the Soviet Union stopped defending it and pulled out. (The targeted government was the popular women-liberating socialist government, which President Carter secretly authorized the CIA with Pakistan and Saudi secret services to train, fund, and arm warlord terror to overthrow in 1979. Carter’s Adviser Brzezinski would later brag about his having suckered the Soviets in [“giving the Soviets their Vietnam“] whereupon he called for jihad and invited Arabs into Afghanistan (including Osama bin Laden) to defeat both Soviet and Kabul forces. [See End Note [3] for the birth of the Taliban, supremely documented]
The Taliban-formed government in 1996 was recognized by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The US brutally invaded and occupied all Afghanistan, and allied with the chilling Northern Alliance warlords claiming Afghanistan would not turn over Osama bin Laden directly to the US (without some evidence). That was sixteen years ago.
[dropcap]R[/dropcap]egarding what Obama has taken responsibility for in South Sudan, quoting from highly regarded independent historian journalist Thomas Mountain, who lives in nearby Eritrea, “The genocidal war being waged in South Sudan today is ‘Obama’s War’. Why? Because the Obama regime is paying for it. Thanks to Wikileaks we know that the CIA began paying the salaries of what is today the South Sudanese “rebel army” led by Reik Machar in 2009. And the CIA is still paying them today. We know this because there is simply no other source of funding for this army of at least 20,000 professionals (with at least an equal amount of “militia”, little more than ethnic death squads), that anyone anywhere has been able to establish. The bill for salaries, food, fuel, equipment and ammunition runs upwards of $100 million with the source of these funds a best kept secret. Why would the Obama regime pay for this terrible crime ravaging South Sudan? It’s all about oil. The USA wants China out of its only oil field in Africa. Riek Machar’s “rebel army” fighting “Obama’s War” in South Sudan today. China supports the present South Sudanese government headed by Salva Kiir to the tune of over $8 billion in emergency aid and loans over the past 5 years and this is why the USA is determined that President Kiir must go. Today, thanks to a brigade of Chinese “peacekeepers” protecting the Sudanese oil fields, a minimal amount of oil has resumed production. But the Chinese efforts to develop the rest of South Sudan’s oil reserves have come to a complete halt, thanks to ‘Obama’s War’.[Obama’s War in South Sudan, CounterPunch, 7/16/2015.] In July of 2016 AP reported “President Obama has issued waivers that continue millions of dollars in U.S. military assistance for troubled South Sudan …The waivers circumvent parts of the 2008 Child Soldiers Prevention Act, which is meant to block certain kinds of military assistance.”
..
(It is not the first time the USA has done this. In 1978 oil was discovered in Southern Sudan. Rebellious war began five years later and was led by John Garang, who had taken military training at infamous Fort Benning, Georgia. “The US government decided, in 1996, to send nearly $20 million of military equipment through the ‘front-line’ states of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Uganda to help the Sudanese opposition overthrow the Khartoum regime.” [Federation of American Scientists fas.org] Obama is only the most recent US president who served crime in Africa. [click on Early CIA Involvement in Darfur Has Gone Unreported OpEdNews, 1/23/2007])
In 1969, Gaddafi led a bloodless revolution taking over the enormous oil revenue formerly stolen by Britain France, which Gaddafi used to bring Libya up from the poorest country in African to Africa’s richest. The 2010 UN Index of Quality of Life ranked Libya above nine European nations, including Russia. Halfway through the destruction of Libya by US, British and French warplanes, long serving Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi confessed that “This has nothing to do with a popular uprising. The Libyan people love Gaddafi, “Powerful people decided to give life to a new era by trying to oust Gaddafi,” In July Berlusconi already had said he was against NATO intervention in Libya but “had to go along with it.””What choice did I have considering America’s pressure, President Napolitano’s stance, and the Parliament’s decision?” [Italian news agency ANSA.]

On the first day, Feb. 15, Reuters reported, “hundreds attacking traffic police stations, no deaths, 60 injured. The next day, Feb. 16, Reuters reported,“6 dead when more than a thousand protesters attacked more police stations.” Feb. 17th, the London called for Day of Rage, The Evening Standard and Al Jazeera English estimated that fourteen people were killed. BBC and Reuters apparently not yet on board the conspiracy reported that evening confirming official hospital report of total of only 26 dead including policemen. After overnight protests, the following day, 18 February 2011, a Guardian.UK report by Ian Black and Owen Bowcott, “Amer Saad, a political activist from Derna, told al-Jazeera: “The “protesters’ in al-Bayda have been able to seize control of the military air base in the city and have executed 50 African ‘mercenaries.’ BBC also reported that 50 black Libyan soldiers had been brutally executed, some beheaded. The killers proudly put out cell phone videos of the gruesome execution spectacle on YouTube, but this was never reported by CNN, the only 24 hour news channel. On Feb. 21 a bare four days after the overseas calls for “day of rage’ U.S. media’s UK counterpart, the Telegraph reported, “The International Federation for Human Rights said Libya’s second largest city [Benghazi], along with Sirte, Tobruk, Misrata, Khoms, Tarhounah, Zenten, Al-Zawiya and Zouara had all been taken by protesters. “Protesters?” For nine months thereafter TV viewers were given to see these tough hombre, heavily armed ‘freedom fighters’ in their fleets of pickup trucks with heavy weapons looking nothing at all like protesters, but hailed as bank clerks, office workers etc. ‘turned ‘rebels.’
During Obama’s tenure this amazing cartel of Pentagon/CIA fed media conglomerates, which seems to have the great majority of the basically indifferent population of the West in tow, effortlessly ran its usual cascade of disinformation, half-truths, propaganda and blacked out information, preparing justification for military intervention as previously in the cases of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iran and Somalia. And investors in genocide spokesperson Obama parroted it all during his eight pompous years as supposedly the most powerful man on earth, in reality, Rev. Cornel West repeated, “a black puppet of Wall Street”, heading up the American killing machine and proud of it.” However, the plan to destabilize Syria did not work all that well, even with the Obama administration having Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other subservient nations passing the funding and equipping to tens of thousands of hyped up Islamic terrorists to destroy spokesperson Obama’s dutifully designated enemies Assad and Shiite wherever found.[7][8][9][10][11] Obama oversaw the success of persuading public opinion that the Syria was in the grip of a brutal dictatorship, but it also welded the vast majority of the Syrian population firmly behind its government while over years flooding Europe with more than a million desperate refugees fleeing the death brought to an half million Syrian families. All of this for a regime change calculated to benefit investors in profitable genocide with Obama parroting “President Assad must step down.” Ultimately, defense attorneys will be of little use to Obama. For years even British tabloids have exposed the US being behind the creation of ISIS and other terrorist states.[7][8][9][10][11]
…
It’s impossible to know what a very probable world wide demand for justice for victims of the Western imperialist age might bring about thirty-years from now, but the citizens of Haiti can make a good case for including indictment of Obama for deaths attributed to Obama continuing US arranged proxy UN military protection of a Haitian government serving unjust predatory foreign investment forcefully isolating Haiti’s twice elected, twice overthrown and US kidnapped popular socialist President Father Aristide. And though it might be a legal stretch to indict Obama for weapons of mass destruction merchandizing, that Obama signed six billion dollar sale with India most certainly secured the grim reaper’s taking many millions of lives of India’s children through starvation and malnutrition.[see Merchant of Death Obama Sells $Billions in Weapons – Dooms India’s Starving President Obama has made himself a partner in this crime against humanity![12]
Consolation? If former President Obama lives to a healthy elderly age in a much more harmonious world than today’s, and faces charges by survivors of genocidal violence in their own beloved countries by uninvited U.S. military personnel, he might welcome at least some weight lifted from his conscience in witnessing a modicum of justice served by the expected trillions of dollars that will have to be paid out in compensation, indemnity and reparations adjudicated by that court of a new and completely reorganized United Nations.
