Everyone at the Hague hopes Charles III will cheerfully go into all details for the Hague Courts about what he remembers talking with the indicted pharmaceutical genocidists, Bill and Melinda French Gates, when Elizabeth II gave Gates in 2005 the accolade of KNIGHT COMMANDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE as well as all subsequent discussions about Bill Gates' London Patent Office Patent for Weaponized Coronavirus # WO 2016 012793 A1

First, in today's discussion, the nations supporting and endorsing South Africa's case versus Israel are: Egypt, Somalia, Qatar, Belize (the first in the western hemisphere), Slovenia (the first in Europe), Bangladesh, Jordan and Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest number of Islamic Moslems in the world.

As Founder of United Nations Santa Fe, I encourage more to step forward as participants, litigants, and not just in an "amicus curiae" capacity (Friends of the Court) to both of the Hague's older court and the newer court, the International Criminal Court, in the striking modern architecture by Schmidt, Hammer, Lassen, the Danish firm in 1986 in Aarhus, Denmark, with three offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus, as well as Shanghai, China.

Second: Mahayana Buddhism means "greater vehicle," the Buddhism inherent in politics and in war, whereby victims and potential victims are protected, and those victims gone are brought justice, retribution, and a kind of delayed retribution.

Theravada (from Pali, literally "School of the Elders") is Buddhism's oldest extant school. The school's adherents, termed theravadins, have preserved their version of the Gautama Buddha's teaching in the Pali Canon.

The best personal example that comes to my mind, was what Morris Udall did about the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, and what it cost him in terms of a shortened life.

_______________

When President Kennedy appointed Stewart Udall as USA Secretary of Interior, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors scheduled a special election in which Morris was elected to the House of Representatives.

As a Mormon grandson of Ella Stewart Udall, the first telegraph operator in the Arizona Territory, Congressman Morris was disturbed by the reports of the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam, in which hundreds of women, children and elderly (504) were gunned down next to trough/ditch, then the corpses were shoved into the ditch, by order of Lt. William Calley, later convicted, still alive and lives in Miami.

Morris was later a leading contender for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination, which went to James Earl Carter Jr., the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, who had been Governor of Georgia.

In the Electoral College, Carter then bested Leslie Lynch King of Omaha, Nebraska, whom you may remember as "Gerald Rudolph Ford" of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

_____________________

Morris was so angry about My Lai that he stubbornly and compassionately persisted in convening hearings in a committee to expose the grim details. As a result, the Pentagon's "Masters of War" didn't like Morris doing that!

[Masters of War is one of the songs by Robert Zimmerman/Bob Dylan of Hibbing, Minnesota, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. You really ought to listen to this song frequently on YouTube, maybe not as frequently as I do, which is usually about 4 times daily....

Bob Dylan - Masters of War (Official Audio)

.youtube.com/watch?v=JEmI_FT4YHU

Lyrics: Come you masters of war

You that build the big guns

You that build the death planes

You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls

You that hide behind desks

I just want you to know

I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'

But build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a gun in my hand

And you hide from my eyes

And you turn and run farther

When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old

You lie and deceive

A world war can be won

You want me to believe

But I see through your eyes

And I see through your brain

Like I see through the water

That runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch

When the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansion

While the young people's blood

Flows out of their bodies

And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear

That can ever be hurled

Fear to bring children

Into the world

For threatening my baby

Unborn and unnamed

You ain't worth the blood

That runs in your veins

How much do I know

To talk out of turn

You might say that I'm young

You might say I'm unlearned

But there's one thing I know

Though I'm younger than you

That even Jesus would never

Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good?

Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could?

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die

And your death will come soon

I'll follow your casket

By the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered

Down to your deathbed

And I'll stand over your grave

'Til I'm sure that you're dead

So, therefore, let's return, to the Udalls of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado!

When I worked on Tom's first campaign for the House of Representatives, I gathered signatures of registered voters to meet the requirements to be on the ballot, in New Mexico which have to come from 30+ counties. I gathered 25% of his requirement from Santa Feans in all walks of life in organic grocery stores, in galleries and among officials. As New Mexico's Attorney General, voters were enthusiastic.

I came up with the idea to use door hangings, plastic bags with articles about Thomas' accomplishments on both sides of an 11-by-17-inch sheet, then used them in the South Capitol precincts in Santa Fe, door to door, almost every door therein, and when the votes were counted, those precincts were the highest number of voters for Udall. (It seemed far more polite and time saving to hang the plastic bag on the door, and not ring the door bell.)

As the campaign progressed to stuffing envelopes, it boiled down to me, Tom's step-daughter, and his mother, Irma Lee Udall, and Tom in a small adjacent office calling lawyers to ask for money to run against the appointed incumbent, who was from Los Alamos, and that alone compelled and galvanized me, right off the bat, to try to help Thomas win!

At one point in conversation with Irma Lee, I asked her about Morris' last years after his career in Congress and his having run for President in 1976 when Carter won the nomination and then the Presidency.

Carter's opponent was "Gerald Rudolph Ford", ostensibly from Grand Rapids, Michigan, the 3rd in line for the Presidency after Nixon was forced to resign, which was after the Vice President Spiro Agnew was forced to resign. (Etymologically speaking, the one good thing about Spiro was his referring to critics as "nattering nabobs of negativism.")

[Agnew used the phrase in the heat of the 1970 mid-term congressional campaign to refer to politicians critical of Nixon administration policies. Nothing in his speech referred to the press. Although the initial coverage of Agnew's distinctive phrase was accurate, within a year journalists began to usurp the aphorism and conflate it with Agnew's celebrated November 1969 speeches criticizing the news media. Although journalists have perpetuated other myths, the misappropriation of Agnew's alliterative phrase is distinctive because it reveals a primal journalistic need to recast criticism as a blame-the-messenger screed.]

However, President Ford's real name on his birth certificate was:

Leslie Lynch King

from Omaha Nebraska, whose mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner, quickly realized he would not go far in politics with the name LYNCH, even if she had moved from Omaha, Nebraska, to Selma, Alabama, Biloxi, Mississippi, or to Southern Indiana, which still has the highest per capita number of members of the dreaded Ku Klux Klan; therefore moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan, seemed de rigeur and better for the renamed Gerald Rudolph Ford, who lived to be 93, and therefore, on that fact alone, deserves further scrutiny from those as interested in longevity as am I.

Lynching of African Americans used to be quite common in particular states in the Confederacy, which Britain amply and secretly supported because the textile manufacturers in Britain wanted the cheapest possible source on cotton.

_______

Ford's nominee for Vice President, former Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York, was the second person to fill that office by appointment; the first was John Adams, the first of many frustrated by the "complete insignificance" of the office!

Like most Vice Presidents in the 20th century, Garner had little to do and almost no influence on the president's policies. He described the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss" (for many years, this quote was bowdlerized as "warm spit".)

Historian Patrick Cox traces the possible origin of this quote to a 1960 conversation with Lyndon B. Johnson, who consulted Garner on John F. Kennedy's offer to run for vice president.

_________

However, there really was a lot to like about Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, who at Pocantico owned the Ipoustegy Bronze Sculpture of "Alexander before Ecbatana". The Ludlow Massacres weren't Nelson's fault, and how would you have handled the Prison Riots at Attica? Nelson paid the $8.5 million to buy the present site for the United Nations!

You ought to listen to Rockefeller's conversation with Lyndon Baines Johnson, 1/7/66

[What makes this crime even more horrific was the way it was covered up by the military leadership. Without the efforts of those who failed stop to the massacre and those who fought to bring it to the public's attention, it is likely the massacre would have been far worse or remained hidden.]

Morris Udall's "official obituary" describes his suffering from "Parkinson's disease."

Parkinson's? No!

His sister-in-law, Lee Udall (whose son, Thomas was New Mexico's Senator and now USA Ambassador to New Zealand), told me that someone from across the Potomac in Arlington at the Pentagon 'slipped him a mickey,' causing Morris to collapse in front of his congressional office, hit his cranium, suffer a sub-dural hematoma, and require nursing home care the rest of his life until he died!

[International readers not familiar with USA vernacular must wonder~~~~~what does that mean? "SLIPPED HIM A MICKEY?"

[This expression dates back to the 1890s when there was a bartender in Chicago who used to doctor a drink thereby incapacitating the drinker making him unable to defend himself or remember anything when he was robbed. His name was Mickey Finn. The expression first appeared in print in 1915.]

_______________________

From the British newspaper, the Independent, here is more of the ugly truth:

"Twice in the 1970s Udall campaigned to be Speaker of the House of Representatives, and again to be majority leader, the number two leadership position, but in each case without success. He was however a genuinely serious candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976, even though he later wrote a book about his experience called Too Funny to Be President (1988).

"He was in fact a very funny man, with a dry western sense of humour and a nice ability to make jokes against himself. He was much in demand in Washington as an after-dinner speaker. When already seriously ill with Parkinson's disease he compared that horrible condition to a woman called Paula Parkinson who was starring in a contemporary sex-and-lobbying scandal: 'They both keep you up at night,' he quipped, 'and they both give you the shakes.'

"The last years of his life were rather terrible. He spent them in a Veterans Administration hospital in Washington DC, much of the time unconscious."

My Lai, Wikipedia: The following day, 28 March, the commander of Task Force Barker submitted a combat action report for the 16 March operation, in which he stated that the operation in M? Lai was a success, with 128 VC combatants killed. The America Division commander, General Koster, sent a congratulatory message to Charlie Company.

General William C. Westmoreland, also congratulated Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry for "outstanding action", saying that they had "dealt [the] enemy [a] heavy blow".

Later (like Robert Strange McNamara, whom I had the quasi privilege of meeting when I was 16) Westmoreland changed his stance, writing in his memoir that it was "the conscious massacre of defenseless babies, children, mothers, and old men in a kind of diabolical slow-motion nightmare that went on for the better part of a day, with a cold-blooded break for lunch."

Owing to the chaotic circumstances of the war and the U.S. Army's decision not to undertake a definitive body count of noncombatants in Vietnam, the number of civilians killed at My Lai cannot be stated with certainty. Estimates vary from source to source, with 347 and 504 being the most commonly cited figures.

The memorial at the site of the massacre lists 504 names, with ages ranging from one to 82. A later investigation by the U.S. Army arrived at a lower figure of 347 deaths--the official U.S. estimate. The official estimate by the local government remains 504.

From March 2018

50 YEARS LATER, WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE MY LAI MASSACRE?

.twn.my/twnf/2018/4651.htm

One helicopter gunner named Ron Ridenhour began to hear about the massacre back in base camp. After cautiously gathering information while still in Vietnam, Ridenhour wrote letters detailing the massacre to 30 government and military officials. Most were never answered, but Ridenhour's Congressman, Morris Udall, followed up by urging a formal military inquiry.

The secret investigation of Lieutenant Calley's role led to his arrest for premeditated murder. Tipped off about the investigation in late October 1969, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh interviewed Calley, Ridenhour and several soldiers who had been at My Lai.

Hersh's widely published stories along with army photographer Ron Haeberle's photos horrified millions at a time when the antiwar movement was at a peak and a majority of Americans believed the war to be a mistake. Still, from that point forward media coverage was dominated by Calley's trial and conviction in 1971.

Many on the left maintained that Calley was being scapegoated to protect the military chain of command, while many on the right attacked the mass media or hailed Calley as a hero and flooded the Nixon White House with demands for his release. Calley served only three and a half years of his initial life sentence, most of it in his own quarters.

Meadlo told the jury what happened when Calley returned a few minutes later:

He said, "How come they're not dead?"

I said, "I didn't know we were supposed to kill them." He said, "I want them dead." He backed off twenty or thirty feet and started shooting into the people -- the Viet Cong -- shooting automatic. He was beside me. He burned four or five magazines. I burned off a few, about three. I helped shoot 'em.

Q: What were the people doing after you shot them?

A: They were lying down.

Q: Why were they lying down?

A: They was mortally wounded.

Q: How were you feeling at that time?

A: I was mortally upset, scared, because of the briefing we had the day before.

Q: Were you crying?

A: I imagine I was....

________

In 1976, Calley married.

In August 2009, while speaking at a Kiwanis meeting in his hometown of Columbus, Georgia, 66-year-old Calley offered a public apology for his role at My Lai:

"Not a day goes by that I do not feel remorse for what happened that day at My Lai. I am very sorry."

My Lai mattered. Two weeks after the Calley verdict was announced, the Harris Poll reported for the first time that a majority of Americans opposed the war in Viet Nam. The My Lai episode caused the military to re-evaluate its training with respect to the handling of noncombatants. Commanders sent troops in the Desert Storm operation into battle with the words, "No My Lais-- you hear?"

Ronald L. Ridenhour, the Vietnam veteran who in 1969 first disclosed the My Lai massacre of Vietnamese civilians by United States Army troops, died yesterday in Metairie, La. He was 52.

Mr. Ridenhour, who first heard about the massacre from other soldiers about a month after it happened, investigated it on his own. Home from his tour as a helicopter gunner in Vietnam, he wrote a 1,500-word letter to President Richard M. Nixon, Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird, and members of Congress, including his Congressman, Congressman Morris K. Udall, Democrat of Arizona.

Mr. Ridenhour remained bitter and disillusioned, considering it a whitewash. In an interview in 1972, he said that ''the whole thing has been handled in a cynical, Machiavellian way".

In an article published in The New York Times in 1973, Mr. Ridenhour said that he had written the letters disclosing the massacres hoping that ''it would show the American people and their Government that the policies of force abroad and deception at home were not only antithetical to the principles of a democratic society but low, mean, stupid, brutal and self-destructive as well.

''The question most often put to me was not why they had done it, but why I had done it,'' he wrote. ''In a word, justice. It was a simple appeal to justice. I was younger and more foolish then.''

In 1988, Mr. Ridenhour won a Polk Award for journalism for a yearlong investigation of a New Orleans tax scandal published in City Business, a biweekly newspaper there.

Ridenhour was born in Oakland, Calif., and grew up in Phoenix. He was drafted in March 1967 when his course load at Phoenix Junior College dropped below the requirement for an educational deferment.

Mr. Ridenhour was in a helicopter that flew over My Lai a few days after the massacre. He said he waited until he was out of the service to blow the whistle because he feared for his life.

I have written at length about what happened to Laos on which 2.5 million pounds of cluster bombs were dropped during the Vietnam War, and will do so again at OpEdNews, noting that USA Congress allocated $12 million for bomb removal and allocated $143 million to build an elaborate USA Embassy in Vientiane, the capitol of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Lao Buddhism is a unique version of Theravada Buddhism and is at the basis of ethnic Lao culture. Buddhism in Laos is tied to animist beliefs and belief in ancestral spirits, in rural areas.

Again: Theravada (from Pali, literally "School of the Elders") is Buddhism's oldest extant school. The school's adherents, termed theravadins, have preserved their version of the Gautama Buddha's teaching in the Pali Canon.

64.7% of the Lao population are Buddhist.

Final note about Irma Lee Udall, from Time Magazine, October 12, 1970!

a very funny article:

click here

About a party at the home of Ethel Kennedy, the mother of the Next President of the USA, Robert Kennedy Jr. [2024 to 2032]:

Speaking of aim--and of the Kennedy waters--Lee Udall, the lively wife of R.F.K. Trustee Stewart Udall, suddenly blurted a confession about the celebrated dunking of Kennedy Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. in the Kennedy pool.

"All these years, Ethel has been taking the rap for me," she said. "I'm the one who pushed Arthur into the pool. I was dancing by and he was standing there holding forth and looking so Arthurish, and something came over me. I just stuck out my arm and pushed him in and danced away. He never knew."
