- saving Haitians from their beloved US kidnapped priest-President;
and after 9/11 when as Rev. Jeremiah Wright noted "Chickens have come home to roost." repeating Malcolm X saying so after JFK's assassination:
- everyone remember saving Iraqis from a murdering CIA aided dictator, and then saving a million Iraqis from a peaceful death;
- saving Somali from having a humane non-war lord Islamic government,
- saving Yemeni from overthrowing their brutal US backed dictator,
- saving Pakistanis from America hating Pakistanis;
The list goes on and encompasses nearly every non-white complexioned nation on earth, updating to the present saving of Syria from any possible peaceful existence uncontrolled by Western investment banks.
All these hundreds of bombings, invasions, occupation wars, covert overthrows, engendering of violence, false flag stimulating of civil wars and other acts of war like dis-stabilizing sanctions have all taken place under three names of high appointed officials forced upon presidents from Truman through Obama. All three are close confidants of David Rockefeller. Either the Dulles brothers, Henry Kissinger or Zbigniew Bzrezinski have overseen each the heinous taking of lives in illegal wars from Korea through the latest covert genocide in Syria.
Those who really rule and are in charge of these infinite unjust investment opportunities, which imperialist military criminally enforce with the inhuman horror of war, are neither capable of self-restraint nor respecting boundaries. The simple business amorality of the unchained power of money created as a false commodity, once released over humanity, flows downhill like water seeking its own level, covering every place possible everywhere, whether great or tiny. *
Morality, civility, humaneness, nobility, appreciation and respect for the lives that will need to be taken in wars to stimulate capitalist economy in the face of new production technology lowering profits, is not part of the business ethic.
The profits from investing in wars of conquest of natural resources and from rebuilding afterwards renew the private accumulation of capital that assures the continuing rule of those long ensconced in power for the wealth and resources previously stolen from the commons and commonwealth of the planet.
For a few days, in Chicago, militarized politicians of wealthy nations pretended to sit in discussion of how much more death they will deal to poorest nation on earth before they are allowed by their dominating investment banking community's ruling elite to desist. How many of our observant honest journalist and peoples historians doubt that these uniformed and fine suited men who met in Chicago are merely going through the motions of diplomats and politicians and are in reality absolutely powerless to do otherwise.
At the same time, and by contrast, these militarized politicians, both elected and appointed, are legally responsible for the deadly war crimes they feel themselves above the law in committing their signatures to, though they do so for the investment community they are beholden to. This politicians, and not the war requesting investment community, sign orders for generals to pass on down through the chain of command to those who are actually pull the triggers. Will there not eventually be consequences for those responsible for illegal and undeclared wars - crimes against humanity?
The answer to this question, as Bob Dylan sang, "is blowin' in the wind." Former presidents, secretaries of state and defense feel forced to cancel trips abroad apprehensive of ugly citizen reaction and dangerous encounters that can require police protection, even temporary protective confinement. They best avoid a certain town in Vermont for fear of arrest under an local ordinance in effect.
Though Spain has reined in the strong willed judge who was frightening a lot of high officials involved in dirty wars, no one can be sure that judges elsewhere will not rise up to bringing the law to bear on crimes against humanity individually filed in national courts that international courts will not accept, as in the case of General Pinochet, who found himself arrested and in held in limbo between England, Spain and his own Chile for extradition charges filed.
This month saw the conviction by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal of former President Bush junior and many of his appointees as guilty of the torturing they presided over. This tribunal of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission is no lightweight, being founded by an internationally respected anti-imperialist, for twenty years Prime Minister of Malaysia, notoriously outspoken and tough on Western media when it slandered his nation or his administration.
In Cape Town, South Africa, the Bertram Russell-Sartre War Crimes Tribunal has been reconstituted for prosecution of Israeli crimes against Palestinians and an second panel to prosecute Barack Obama is being considered by another group.
A few weeks ago, a former president of Veterans For Peace had an indictment read at the gates of the Hancock, NY Drone Air Force Base indicting military and personnel along with their chain of command up through and including President Obama.

The Campaign for International Awareness that Martin Luther King Condemned US Wars and the "unjust predatory investments they are meant to maintain." has been gathering endorsements from all major anti-war organizations and celebrities from all walks of life.

King's condemnations, once well known, will arouse widespread desire to prosecute all who were and are criminally involved in illegal undeclared wars since 1945. When it becomes fashionable to be moral and decent rather than depressed and self-centered, the wealthy, investing in and arranging wars, instead of ruling us, will find themselves in prison until no longer a danger to society and themselves.
Finally, the new campaign Prosecute US Crimes Against Humanity Now, featuring country-by-country histories of US crimes following in the footsteps of peoples historian Howard Zinn and Martin Luther King teaching of honest history since 1945 and exposing how corporate media disinforms (1967 Beyond Vietnam sermon. The campaign is dedicated to promote awareness of the ever more meaningful important work of the National Lawyers Guild and the Center for Constitutional Law. click here
