The International Kangaroo Court at the Hague (the ICC) has done it again. That is it has convicted regional leaders from the poorest most beaten down countries on the planet as “war criminals”.
The Khmer Rouge was born after Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger fire bombed defenseless and innocent peasants in Kampuchea.
While the behavior of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge was of course horrible, it is typical of the “world community” as it is called by Western media, that the ICC at the Hague prosecuted them for war crimes and crimes against humanity, while giving Henry Kissinger a Nobel Peace Prize.
So now in an area, (The Democratic Republic of the Congo and The Central African Republic) that has been at the very center of 300 years of uninterrupted Western resource rape imperialism, we find that the ICC at the Hague has finally found out who the bad guys really are.
No it is not the United States, Britain or France whose governments pit tribe against tribe, Christian against Muslim, region against region, to insure a weak and divided area.
And then these same governments work with their multinationals to insure that a group of corrupt elites run things while passing laws, (or ignoring laws) in favor of the looting of the mineral wealth of their peoples.
This is all to insure that the $24 Trillion of untapped natural resources, or more than the GDP of North American and Europe combined will continue NOT TO FLOW to these people pictured above. Guess who it will go to?
So when, as with the Khmer Rouge, ignorant impoverished locals, rise up form militias and do terrible things, (in this case forcing children to be soldiers and programs of institutional mass rape) then these are the people you prosecute as war criminals, not those who initiate the wars, arm the various sides and instigate them.
In this case the ICC at the Hague affirms its conviction of Thomas Lubonga in the DR Congo and then goes on to convict former Congolese vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba.
While no one is going to argue that these people are sweethearts, it is interesting that they are by international standards small unimportant people and their crimes altogether, are not in the league of the war crimes of George Bush Jr. and Tony Blair in Iraq, where more than 500 thousand people were slaughtered due to their unprovoked aggression.
And today in the face of war crimes committed by the Obama administration in the US and the Sarkozy administration in France, in Libya there are no calls for either man to go on to the docks at the Hague nor for their criminal intervention in Syria where the death toll reached 191,000 in August.
And of course we also have more than 2,000 dead in Netanyahu’s, (Israel’s) slaughter of the people in Gaza and over 4,000 dead in the Poroshenko slaughter of the people in the Southeastern Ukraine.
None of this will ever go to the ICC at the Hague. The utter hypocrisy of this institution is pretty well understood by everyone in the world outside of the countries of Empire, (The Anglo 5 + Israel first tier, along with Japan, Western Europe second tier).
Most of the people’s of the real world community know well that the ICC is in fact a Kangaroo court, set up to make it seem as if the leaders of the Empire in Washington, Paris and London have the highest of moral standards, while people in poor developing countries, the victims of Imperial oppression for centuries are in fact savages and brutes beyond the wildest imagination of civilized people everywhere.
But you who are civilized, don’t worry the ICC in the name of justice, (in these cases the protection of women and children) is there to protect you.
