[Peace-discuss] Statement for Chicago Peace Rally against USA Threatened War against DPRK

Sat Nov 11 16:22:52 UTC 2017

Trump today just started his war maneuvers with 3 aircraft carrier strike forces and his Armada  off Korea on Armistice Day for World War I. Do you think these Trumpster idiots figured that one out? Do you think the Idiots of the  Illiniwaks Law School Faculty can think anything out?

Subject: Statement for Chicago Peace Rally against USA Threatened War against DPRK

At Jay’s request, I prepared the following Statement to be read at the anti-war rally today in Chicago:
Ok. Here is a Statement below dealing with the legal aspects of the situation. Thanks for doing this protest. Fab.

1.The US government threats of “preventive warfare” against DPRK are illegal and criminal. The Nuremberg Tribunal in their Judgment of 1946, which the US helped organize, condemned “preventive war” when the Lawyers for the Nazis made the argument on their behalf. This is an illegal and criminal threat in violation of international law. According to the World Court in its Advisory Opinion (1996) on the Threat or  Use of Nuclear Weapons, the legality vel non of a threat stands or falls on the same legal grounds  as if the threat were carried out.

2.The repeated US government threats to “destroy” or “annihilate” DPRK are an international crime under the 1948 Genocide Convention to which the United States is a party. These genocidal threats are also illegal and criminal under the rationale of the  1996 World Court Advisory Opinion mentioned above.

3.The United States has an absolute obligation under UN Charter article 2(3) and article 33 to open “negotiation” with DPRK in good faith in order to produce a peace resolution of this dispute. Instead, the US government has repeatedly rejected these obligations under the UN Charter.

4.The proposal by Russia and China for a “dual-freeze” is an excellent basis to produce good faith and direct negotiations between USA and DPRK as required by the UN Charter.

5.The United States is deliberately provoking DPRK, ratcheting up these provocations in the hope that they will provoke the DPRK to commit an act of aggression against the United States that the USA can then use as a pretext for war.  Pursuant to the terms of their mutual self-defense treaty, China has stated that if the US attacks first it will defend DPRK, but that if DPRK strikes first, China will remain out of any war. So the United States is trying to provoke DPRK into striking first.

6.It is an extremely dangerous situation. It is really up to the United States to take the first step down the Ladder of Escalation that it has constructed here. Instead it appears that the Trump administration is going to escalate up the Ladder of Escalation in the hope and expectation that DPRK will capitulate. This is what  International Political Scientists call a Game of Chicken-- with cosmic consequences. Who will blink first? Anything can go wrong. Thank you so much for being here today to prevent World War III.

Of course Karen! That’s why this post of mine is the Joke of the Day. Along with the Illiiwaks Law School, Dean and Faculty. Yuck it all up everyone. We need a little humor these days to keep our sanity.

VOA, an independent information source, they have got to be kidding. It’s been known for over 30 years, even by US supported Burmese rebels hiding in the jungles of Thailand, that VOA was not credible. That it is, and always has been, a “propaganda” arm of the USG.

“Amanda Bennett, the director of Voice of America, said in a statement: “The Voice of America is an independent news source required by law to be accurate, objective and comprehensive…”” Sounds like the propaganda  slogan for Fox “news.” Someone just told me that Greta Van Susteren now works for VOA. Back when Greta was polluting the airwaves for Fox, she tried to set me up as an apologist for Hamas Suicide Bombings. Smelling a RAT, I declined. So she set up some other lawyer as an apologist for Hamas Suicide Bombings. And she is allegedly a Lawyer, Member of the Bar, and Officer of the Court? LOL! Greta will fit right in there at VOA after Fox. What’s the difference?
