On Biden's pardons -- the criminality of Fauci and connections to Jan 6 -- as I've said before, Jail Fauci, Free Palestine. And of course jail Blinken et al.... First off, while many on the right have been unwilling to recognize Blinken/Biden/Israel criminality regarding Gaza, many so-called liberals have been unwilling to see the criminality of Fauci regarding the pandemic. The is how the establishment has divided the public.

The Life of Martyrdom

I arrived in New York City a week ago. I immediately went to a protest in Astoria, Queens. It started in “Little Egypt” and weaved through the immigrant neighborhood there.

It ended with a banner — “Glory Glory to our Martyrs” held up before a memorial in a waterfront park with Jesus Christ’s words etched in stone: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Above was a figure with sword in hand. ... ...I remember my dad telling me how Nasrallah, prior to his son Hadi’s being killed by Israel, would recount how he felt a measure of embarrassment when he would meet with the families of martyrs. His own son’s killing seemed to focus him. ...

Robert Kennedy Tried to Make the American Zionist Council's AIPAC Register as a Foreign Agent

Sen. Fulbright "uncovered a massive network of financial 'conduits' moving funds directed by the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem to lobby startup groups across the United States." AIPAC has spent more than $100 million on the 2024 campaigns. The White House recently condemned Rep. Cori Bush for attacking AIPAC after the pro-Israel group spent $9 million to unseat her. In 2022, The American Prospect reported: “AIPAC Has Taken Over the Democratic Primary Process”

CNN now blares: “Biden administration announces major actions to tackle Russian efforts to influence 2024 election.” Reuters proclaims: “Russia, China, Iran trying to influence US election, intelligence official says.” See my past piece “"Russiagate’ Was Israelgate”.

Grant Smith is author of How Israel Made AIPAC: The Most Harmful Foreign Influence Operation in America and other related books. He was interviewed earlier this year about “Why AIPAC is still Israel’s foreign agent.”

In 2009, he wrote the piece “The Kennedys vs Israel’s Lobby” published by Pulse. The piece as a standalone only seems to only be available via WayBackMachine now, so I have republished it below. He summarizes the issue in this video from a few years ago:

🧵 Me: Isn't Biden saying without Israel, no Jew in the world is safe actually false and antithetical to the First Amendment?

Watch State Dept response (🎥:

🧵 Quite. A. Con.

The US government has attempted to set up a fake legal "narrative" without ever stating what the narrative is.

That is, they pretend the Fourth Geneva Convention doesn't apply to Gaza but completely obscure that position from the public. ...

https://twitter.com/decensorednews/status/1782858423651971345

As @decensorednews compilation shows, I've been working to expose this for months. Now, other reporters have gotten into the act. @APDiploWriter asked if State claims there are exceptions to the Conventions and they reply they believe in the "principles" -- an empty statement...

🧵 Get. This. Deceit.

On Wed, Matt Miller, in response to a question from me about if the State Dept recognized that the Geneva Conventions applied to the occupied Palestinian territories, proclaimed: “We of course accept the Geneva Conventions” -- I said thanks and moved on... The next day, I raised my hand the entire briefing (as I usually do) and he didn't call on me.

I went up to him after and asked why he didn’t specify occupied Palestinian territory, he said: “I said exactly what I meant”.

NEW: State Dept says they wouldn't “support” the UN General Assembly suspending Israel under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, but fails to answer my question about what they'd DO if it’s invoked 🧵

Video by @decensorednews: The point I tried to make amid the crosstalk is that Israel is still bombing Gaza depite the UNSC Resolution and ICJ Order.

That's why Uniting for Peace is needed. Obviously he cut off my follow-up completely.

#InvokeGenocideConvention

My latest --

To Save Gaza, Invoke the Genocide Convention

The ICC is a "puppet institution". What's needed is a country to invoke the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice. Here's how, with argument, phone numbers, addresses and emails.

Some of the greatest successes in recent human history have combined protest movements with strong diplomatic moves.

In February 1998, the Clinton administration seemed poised to inflict a massive attack on Iraq, but vocal opposition from the US public, especially at a CNN town hall meeting in Ohio, combined by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan going to Iraq, repelled the US government attack.

The following year, in the Battle of Seattle, combined protests in the streets and delegations from the global south finding their backbone resulted in the World Trade Organization’s plans collapsing. This was a major setback for global corporate interests.

There is now effectively a global movement, largely based around mass protests, to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Several countries, including South Africa, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Comoros, Djibouti as well as Colombia and Algeria and Turkey have moved for the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israeli officials.

The problem is that ICC has been dragging its heels for years on prosecuting Israelis. It has been called a “white man’s court” after only going after Africans, and, after letting Israel off the hook during an earlier assault on Gaza, “a hoax”. Some of these nations have called Israel’s war crimes “genocide”. They should act on their words and invoke the relevant treaty. Other nations that have been especially critical of Israel are Pakistan, Brazil, Chile, Belize, Jordan, Chad, Honduras, Bahrain, Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba.

The International Court of Justice, also called the World Court, in contrast has ruled against Israel. But so far these rulings have been advisory opinions. It ruled against Israel in a case regarding its wall in 2004. In another case before it, is expected to rule against Israel’s long term policies.

But what can be done now, Prof. Francis Boyle, who successfully represented the Bosnians before the World Court, argues is to use emergency processes to give more teeth to the World Court. This can be done by invoking the Genocide Convention. This is outlined by Boyle, noted by UN whistleblower Craig Mokhiber, backed by Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire, and written about by myself. And most recently by Craig Murray, now a human rights activist who was the British ambassador to Uzbekistan and Rector of the University of Dundee.

Murray just wrote the piece “Activating the Genocide Convention” which states: “There are 149 states party to the Genocide Convention. Every one of them has the right to call out the genocide in progress in Gaza and report it to the United Nations. In the event that another state party disputes the claim of genocide — and Israel, the United States and the United Kingdom are all states party — then the International Court of Justice [also called the World Court] is required to adjudicate on ‘the responsibility of a State for genocide.'”

Murray quotes from the Genocide Convention and cites evidence that Israel is conducting genocide and that the US and British governments are at minimum complicit in that. He then states: “The International Court of Justice is the most respected of international institutions; while the United States has repudiated its compulsory jurisdiction, the United Kingdom has not and the EU positively accepts it.

“If the International Court of Justice makes a determination of genocide, then the International Criminal Court does not have to determine that genocide has happened. This is important because unlike the august and independent ICJ, the ICC is very much a western government puppet institution which will wiggle out of action if it can. But a determination of the ICJ of genocide and of complicity in genocide would reduce the ICC’s task to determining which individuals bear the responsibility. That is a prospect which can indeed alter the calculations of politicians.

“It is also the fact that a reference for genocide would force the western media to address the issue and use the term, rather than just pump out propaganda about Hamas fighting bases in hospitals. …

“I am afraid the question of why Palestine has not invoked the Genocide Convention takes us somewhere very dark. … It is Fatah who occupy the Palestinian seat at the United Nations, and the decision for Palestine to call into play the Genocide Convention lies with Mahmoud Abbas. It is more and more difficult daily to support Abbas. He seems extraordinarily passive, and the suspicion that he is more concerned with refighting the Palestinian civil war than with resisting the genocide is impossible to shake. By invoking the Genocide Convention he could put himself and Fatah back at the centre of the narrative. But he does nothing. I do not want to believe that corruption and a Blinken promise of inheriting Gaza are Mahmoud’s motivators. But at the moment, I cannot grab on to any other explanation to believe in.”

Thus speeches from Abbas and allied Palestinians figures should be viewed extremely skeptically. It is also very odd, to say the very least, that Francesca Albanese , Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, and other officials put out a statement “Gaza: UN experts call on international community to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people” — but make no mention whatever of the Genocide Convention.

As Murray writes: “Any one of the 139 states party could invoke the Genocide Convention against Israel and its co-conspirators. Those states include Iran, Russia, Libya, Malaysia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Brazil, Afghanistan, Cuba, Ireland, Iceland, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey and Qatar. But not one of these states has called out the genocide [by invoking the Convention]. Why?

“It is not because the Genocide Convention is a dead letter. It is not. It was invoked against Serbia by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the ICJ ruled against Serbia with regard to the massacre at Srebrenica.” Murray notes that this helped lead to prosecutions.

He adds: “Some states may simply not have thought of it. For Arab states in particular, the fact that Palestine itself has not invoked the Genocide Convention may provide an excuse. EU states can hide behind bloc unanimity.

“But I am afraid that the truth is that no state cares sufficiently about the thousands of Palestinian children already killed and thousands more who will shortly be killed, to introduce another factor of hostility in their relationship with the United States. Just as at [the recent] summit in Saudi Arabia, where Islamic countries could not agree [on] an oil and gas boycott of Israel, the truth is that those in power really do not care about a genocide in Gaza. They care about their own interests.

“It just needs one state to invoke the Genocide Convention and change the narrative and the international dynamic. That will only happen through the power of the people in pressing the idea on their governments. This is where everybody can do a little something to add to the pressure. Please do what you can.”

What can you do? Urge countries which have been critical of Israel to invoke the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice. Get groups and influential people to make this a primary ask.

Protests in NYC should include visits and vigils to the missions of those countries. Activists who have been arrested for protesting against Israel’s slaughter can ask UN officials from countries critical of Israel to invoke the Genocide Convention.

Palestinians in Ramallah may be able to directly contact the representatives of various countries to Palestine.

This can be done anywhere. Protests in London can respectfully appeal to the embassies of various countries critical of Israel.

We need to keep pressing directly against the US and Israeli governments, but their hearts are like stone. If we reach other states to invoke the Genocide Convention, it may be a key stop in curtailing the slaughter.

Moreover, it could be a turning point in global relations. Should a positive emergency ruling by the International Court of Justice be forthcoming, it would dramatically isolate the US and Israel at the UN. The US would of course try to block anything at the UN Security Council. But with a World Court ruling, Boyle argues, the stage would be set for the General Assembly to assert itself using the Uniting for Peace procedure. Combined with sustained protests, like the WTO and other critical confrontations, the costs of continuing the slaughter could become unsustainable. Moreover, a World Court ruling could facilitate other legal efforts, like universal jurisdiction.

For all that to happen, a country needs to step forward and invoke the Genocide Convention.

Make no mistake; any nation that does this may well be targeted in insidious ways by the US and by Israel. Any such nation should be afforded every bit of support people of goodwill can muster.

Here's a website that seems to list all the embassies and other diplomatic missions around the world. People from anywhere can be emailing, calling and going to these embassies and missions, urging these countries to use every legal mechanism to pressure Israel to stop, including invoking the Genocide Convention: .

The best avenue to stop Israel's assault may be to invoke the Genocide Convention.

Several heads of State have charged that Israel is committing genocide including Lula of Brazil:
middleeastmonitor.com/20231027-brazi… Such countries -- including South Africa, Bolivia, Chile, Venezuela, various Arabic and Muslim countries, and certainly any country which has charged "genocide" should invoke the Genocide Convention.

Should Hamas Release Its Captives?

In 1990, Saddam Hussein listened to those advising he release captives he had. He did so. Within a few weeks, the disaster really began for Iraq. In December 1990, Saddam Hussein released Western captives he had. Leftist scholar Eqbal Ahmad would comment at a teach-in that I attended shortly thereafter as I recall that it was an act of “ridiculous generosity”.

It simply enabled the US to bomb Iraq the following month...

After not a word of criticism of Israel was uttered at the State Dept briefing for the first 15 minutes, I spoke up.

In the course of the event I asked a series of questions including:

“Does Israel have a right to kill civilians, Matt?”

"Will You Urge Israel to Not Starve and Slaughter People?"

He never called on me, but, after I first spoke up, Miller finally did call on @SMArikat who raised issue of Israeli war crimes.

Then @StateDeptSpox called on @MaxBlumenthal who asked a series of strong questions and I followed up:

“So baby killing is ok here?”

Covid Origins: Progress or Orchestrated Next-Stage Deceitful Narrative?

Lab origins is now increasingly accepted, so now a major goal of the establishment is to focus blame on China so US institutions are not scrutinized and dangerous lab work continues.... Michael Shellenberger, the lead writer on a story (with Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag) citing US government sources that the index cases of Covid worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology asks ... the US government would withhold info about lab origins of Covid.

75 Years of Israel and Zionism's Continuing Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians
Zionist forces drove out hundreds of thousands of Palestinians 75 years ago to create their state. Here's my father's story. This piece of mine was published by the Baltimore Sun on May 31, 1998 — 25 years ago. It’s about the Nakba or Catastrophe — the massacres and forced expulsions of Palestinians which enabled the creation of the modern state of Israel... My dad died in 2017.

🧵It wasn't just Bush & Cheney who lied their way into the Iraq invasion 20 years ago. Possibly the most important Dem, who had been threatening and falsifying about Iraq for years, was Biden. See clip from his war speech and my piece on his endless lies: husseini.substack.com/p/joe-biden-wo… Perhaps Biden's biggest lie was from 2007. He claimed on "Meet the Press" about Saddam Hussein's alleged WMDs: "The real mystery is, if he, if he didn't have any of them left, why didn't he say so?" Of course, Hussein repeated say exactly that, and Biden would dismiss it.

Why are they doing this now? Are they intentionally wanting to time things with US Jan 6? Would seem to me that they would have done something in accord with their own calendar, which would have been at some point during the transition.

One thing that the timing of events in Brazil would suggest is that the actual goal of the protests is not to get JB back in as president. Rather, it’s narrative control and possibly to destabilize Brazil in some way….

The #TwitterFiles is similar to the 1993 disclosures of El Mozote massacre by 60 Minutes. It happened because an arm of the establishment -- in that case the new Secretary of State Warren Christopher -- wanted it to come out. Why? Possibly partisan gain. Possibly so that the establishment could get a re-branding. The big challenges for the establishment then were to kill off the calls for a "Peace Dividend" after the end of the "Cold War" and to continue the sanctions on Iraq.
