(file under 'Atrocity Management') White Man Expected to Plead Guilty: No Other U.S. Soldiers Charged in Methodical Massacre of 17 Non-White (Afghan) Sleeping Civilians (9 children)

By and large, in their relations with non-whites, white people function as psychopaths"Behavioral scientists generally agree that the outstanding characteristics of the psychopathic personality are the almost complete absence of ethical or moral development and an almost total disregard for appropriate patterns of behavior. This characteristic has led to a misunderstanding of the psychopath as someone who does not know the difference between right and wrong. This belief is not true; psychopaths simply ignore the concept of right and wrong.

By ignoring this trait in the White race (the lack of ethical and moral development) Blacks have made and are still making a tragic mistake in basing the worldwide Black liberation movement on moral suasion. It is pathological for Blacks to keep attempting to use moral suasion on a people who have no morality where race is the variable." [MORE]

Although the U.S. Government has isolated Robert Bales as a "rogue soldier", many believe as many as 20 US soldiers were involved in the Afghan massacre. [MORE] "Americans are fascinated by the Mafia, but very few citizens of this country believed until recently that the brutalities and deceptions of organized crime were also characteristic of government operations. We can be thankful, I suppose, that the United States government is not yet as efficient as the Mafia when it comes to hiding the traces of their crimes, cutting short the investigative trail, and screening out the occasional honest and principled operative." [MORE] and [MORE]

From [HEREStaff Sgt. Robert Bales, the white U.S. soldier charged with killing 16 Afghan civilians in what is considered the deadliest war crime by a single American soldier in the post-9/11 [itself a US war crime] era, will plead guilty to avoid the death penalty, his lawyer said Wednesday. In a brief interview as he rushed into a meeting with Sergeant Bales, John Henry Browne, the lawyer, said military prosecutors at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Wash., had agreed to the plea, which could be made before a military judge next week. 

Sergeant Bales, 39, has been charged with walking off a small outpost in the Panjwai district of Kandahar Province early on the morning of March 11, 2012, and shooting or stabbing to death 16 people, most of them children as they slept. Some of their bodies were set on fire in two villages. He was apprehended as he returned to his base. He was captured on surveillance video running out of the darkness with the blood of his victims smeared on his face and soaked into his clothes, a prosecutor said.

Racism as Policy: Court Rules Arizona Sheriff Targeted Latinos based on Skin Color

From [HERE] amd [HERE] Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio,  a racist suspect, relied on racial profiling and illegal detentions to target Latinos, a federal district court said today. The ruling comes following a three-week trial in July and August over a pattern of unlawful practices by Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on immigration sweeps and traffic stops.

"This is a victory for everyone," said Cecillia Wang, director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. "Singling people out for traffic stops and detentions because they are Latino is unconstitutional and just plain un-American. Let this be a warning to any agency trying to enforce the 'show me your papers' provision of SB 1070 and similar laws — there is no exception in the Constitution for immigration enforcement."

Section 2(B) gives police too much discretion when stopping or detaining persons while “checking” their citizenship status.  Sec. 2(B) cannot be implemented without racially profiling non-whites in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. 

(That is, police stops and detentions of persons based on physical characteristics or persons who look Latino (brown skinned persons or darker skinned persons who appear to be African, Cuban, Dominican, Hatian or West Indian immigrants to the police are "reasonable" under the Arizona law = any stop and detention of a non-white person). Even lawful detentions and arrests become unconstitutional when the detention becomes prolonged or unreasonable. If officers rely on profiling characteristics such as a person’s ethnicity in determining whether a person should be detained for an immigration check, Sec. 2(B) becomes an unconstitutional “stop-and-identify” law repugnant to all citizens. [HERE] and NACDL amicus curiae brief

Supremes Vote to Keep Genocide Cost Effective: No Liability for US Corporations Complicit in Human Rights Atrocities against Non-Whites Abroad 

From [HERE] The Supreme Court on Wednesday limited the ability of U.S. courts to hear civil lawsuits that allege corporate complicity in human rights atrocities committed abroad, but the justices did not agree on how tightly to shut the door. The justices were unanimous in stopping a case filed by about a dozen Nigerians living in the United States. They allege that a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Petroleum, the parent company of Shell Oil, aided and abetted the Ni­ger­ian government in torturing and killing people protesting the company’s operations in the Ogoni region in the 1990s.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote that one of the “oldest laws on the books” — the 1789 Alien Tort Statute — did not sanction such a suit, and that “relief for violations of the law of nations occurring outside the United States is barred.”

The legislation, passed by the first Congress, has been used by human rights lawyers to sue individuals who took part in abuses abroad and corporations involved in foreign abuses, as long as the firms have some presence in the United States.

Peter Rees (a white man) Shell’s legal director, said in a statement that the decision “makes clear that the Alien Tort Statute does not provide a means for claims to be brought in the U.S. which have nothing to do with the U.S.” He added that the company denies the allegations “in the strongest possible terms.”

Between 1993 and 1995 MOSOP, a coalition of Nigerian environmental and human rights activists fighting against Royal Dutch Shell’s destructive oil development in their region, faced a violent crackdown carried out by the Nigerian government’s paramilitary forces. Over 800 people were killed, and 30,000 violently displaced from their homes. The founder of MOSOP – author, playwright and political activist Ken Saro-Wiwa – was a key figure in the protest movement, campaigning that the people of Ogoniland, one of the largest oil producing regions in Nigeria, should be compensated with a percentage of the oil profits, with the claim that the devastation to the land was ruining the livelihood of the indigenous people living there.

The Nigerian government sent in its forces and eventually arrested Saro-Wiwa claiming that the disruption of oil production was considered treason. Ken Saro-wiwa and 8 other activists, including another prominent Nigerian, Dr. Barinem Kiobel, were hanged by the military junta in 1995. [MORE

Vietnam = A Systematic War Waged by the U.S. Govt. against Civillians (a Genocide of Non-White people)

VICE: Your book documents how the American war in Vietnam was a fight systemically waged against the civilian population. How does this account that you documented differ from the Vietnam war as it’s popularly remembered in the United States today? 

Nick Turse: We have 30,000 books in print on the Vietnam War, and most of them deal with the American experience. They focus on American soldiers, on strategy, tactics, generals, or diplomacy out of Washington and the war managers there. But I didn’t see any that really attempted to tell the complete story of what I came to see as the signature aspect of the conflict, which was Vietnamese civilian suffering. Millions of Vietnamese were killed wounded, or made refugees by deliberate US policies, like the almost unrestrained bombing and artillery shelling across wide swaths of the countryside. That is, deliberate policies dictated at the highest levels of the US military. But any discussion of Vietnamese civilian suffering is condensed down to a couple pages or paragraphs on the massacre at My Lai.

Book Review of Seduced by Hitler

4th Media

This book gives some clear and telling examples and lessons of individuals (often seemingly decent until tested) participating in and fundamental to, their own repression as well as the repression of others; along with the building and maintenance of the tyrannical fascist orders and systems repressing them. Where we often look for the sources of evil in the special characteristics of the leader (charisma, ability to deceive and manipulate, psychopathy, etc), no individual, no matter how cunning, can rally millions of blind followers unless those followers also chose to? participate ?in their own blindness for their own narrow and selfish purposes and agenda.

Here we see many stories of various forms of “Faustian Bargains”, as well as stories of courage and resistance in the face of tyrannical repression. The book also illustrates clearly the wisdom of the warning of Benjamin Franklin:

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
-
Perhaps Ben Franklin should have added that those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, not only do not deserve, but also cannot, and will never, attain real liberty and safety for themselves either. That lesson comes through over and over with vivid examples and the book spares no one from scrutiny.

The authors are sensitive to the charge of “Judgmentalism” (referring those judging responses of others to situations they have never faced) and that is why their method and approach is to examine and contrast, in various examples and case? studies , the statements of those in essentially the same circumstances and in terms of the ultimate and very different choices–and consequences of those choices–they made. The authors explore various types of Faustian Bargains without fear or favor yet with some sensitivity.

For example, the? inmate ?Sonderkommandos in death camps (“Special commandos who cleaned up after executions and facilitated them by deception of those about to be murdered), who sometimes deceived their own families into going into the gas chambers quietly, knowing what awaited them, in order to trade, for a few more days, weeks or sometimes months (maximum 22 months with special rations for alcohol and brothels), the trust of their family members in exchange for their own lives and some special privileges. They examine the camp inmate Kapos or inmate overseers, who were often more brutal than the Nazis, to show their “bona fides”, in order to stay alive with special privileges.

The book examines the Germans and peoples of Occupied Territories who both turned away, and others who risked their lives not to turn away, those fleeing Nazi terror and intentions to exterminate them. It examines the narrow selfishness and narcissism of groups obsessed with “identity politics”; in which people, so proud of their group (for no other reason than the narcissism that they were born or assimilated into it), caring nothing about the issues and threats faced by others, and yet, in the end, after all their indifference and selfishness, winding up begging of others, of the other groups about which they cared nothing, help to savethemselves when they needed it. Karma comes in many forms. [MORE

The Secret of the Seven Sisters - movie about cartel that controls the world's oil.

Aljazeera

In the first episode, we travel across the Middle East, through both time and space.

Throughout the region's modern history, since the discovery of oil, the Seven Sisters have sought to control the balance of power.

They have supported monarchies in Iran and Saudi Arabia, opposed the creation of OPEC, profiting from the Iran-Iraq war, leading to the ultimate destruction of Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

The Seven Sisters were always present, and almost always came out on top.

Since that notorious meeting at Achnacarry Castle on August 28, 1928, they have never ceased to plot, to plan and to scheme.

At the end of the 1960s, the Seven Sisters, the major oil companies, controlled 85 percent of the world's oil reserves. Today, they control just 10 percent.

New hunting grounds are therefore required, and the Sisters have turned their gaze towards Africa. With peak oil, wars in the Middle East, and the rise in crude prices, Africa is the oil companies' new battleground.

"Everybody thought there could be oil in Sudan but nobody knew anything. It was revealed through exploration by the American company Chevron, towards the end of the 70s. And that was the beginning of the second civil war, which went on until 2002. It lasted for 19 years and cost a million and a half lives and the oil business was at the heart of it."

- Gerard Prunier, a historian

 

But the real story, the secret story of oil, begins far from Africa.

In their bid to dominate Africa, the Sisters installed a king in Libya, a dictator in Gabon, fought the nationalisation of oil resources in Algeria, and through corruption, war and assassinations, brought Nigeria to its knees.

Oil may be flowing into the holds of huge tankers, but in Lagos, petrol shortages are chronic.

The country's four refineries are obsolete and the continent's main oil exporter is forced to import refined petrol - a paradox that reaps fortunes for a handful of oil companies.

Encouraged by the companies, corruption has become a system of government - some $50bn are estimated to have 'disappeared' out of the $350bn received since independence.

But new players have now joined the great oil game.

China, with its growing appetite for energy, has found new friends in Sudan, and the Chinese builders have moved in. Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir is proud of his co-operation with China - a dam on the Nile, roads, and stadiums.

In order to export 500,000 barrels of oil a day from the oil fields in the South - China financed and built the Heglig pipeline connected to Port Sudan - now South Sudan's precious oil is shipped through North Sudan to Chinese ports.

In a bid to secure oil supplies out of Libya, the US, the UK and the Seven Sisters made peace with the once shunned Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, until he was killed during the Libyan uprising of 2011, but the flow of Libyan oil remains uninterrupted.

In need of funds for rebuilding, Libya is now back to pumping more than a million barrels of oil per day. And the Sisters are happy to oblige. [MORE]

Crimes against Humanity on Trial: How the CIA and the Pentagon Supported the Genocide of Mayan Indians (non-white people)

Jose Efrain Rios Montt, who ruled Guatemala for nearly seventeen months during 1982 and 1983, and Jose Mauricio Rodriguez Sanchez, his then chief of military intelligence, are on trial in Guatemala City for genocide and crimes against humanity. The charges arise from systematic massacres of the country’s indigenous population carried out by Guatemalan troops and paramilitary forces during this phase of the country’s long and brutal civil war, and the related mass forced displacement.

This is the first time a former head of state has been prosecuted for genocide in a national, as opposed to an international, court. The trial is an important milestone in holding political and military leaders accountable for international crimes. [MORE]

From [HERE] In Guatemala the trial of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt and his military intelligence chief, José Mauricio Rodríguez Sánchez, proceeds with testimonies of surviving Mayan victims1 ; a soldier has given testimony implicating the current President of Guatemala, Otto Pérez Molina, a major at the time, in crimes of the Ixil area under his responsibility.2 The trial can be followed online at http://www.riosmontt-trial.org/.

The Muscatine Journal3 finds the degree of the crime horrifying, noting the U.S. military contributed 90% of the Guatemalan army’s resources. The New York Times op. ed page,4 notes that the terrible details of what was done to Mayan victims aren’t likely to dignify them. As the horror under Ríos Montt’s rule is revealed in the States, any link to the military regime’s motive is ignored. The reason for the campaign of exterminating Mayan Indians appears to be military: native communities were accused of providing shelter for a guerrilla movement.

The United Fruit Company (Chiquita Banana) overthrow of elected President Arbenz, referred to as a CIA takeover, secured growing-land. The United Fruit Company’s motive was purely profit, which increases with an absence of local resistance, and increases again when there isn’t appropriate compensation to the peoples whose lands are used for foreign profits.

Cheney’s Halliburton Made $39.5 Billion on Iraq War/Genocide 

BlackListedNews

The accounting of the financial cost of the nearly decade-long Iraq War will go on for years, but a recent analysis has shed light on the companies that made money off the war by providing support services as the privatization of what were former U.S. military operations rose to unprecedented levels.

Private or publicly listed firms received at least $138 billion of U.S. taxpayer money for government contracts for services that included providing private security, building infrastructure and feeding the troops.  

Ten contractors received 52 percent of the funds, according to an analysis by the Financial Times that was published Tuesday.

The No. 1 recipient?

Houston-based energy-focused engineering and construction firm KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR), which was spun off from its parent, oilfield services provider Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL), in 2007.

The company was given $39.5 billion in Iraq-related contracts over the past decade, with many of the deals given without any bidding from competing firms, such as a $568-million contract renewal in 2010 to provide housing, meals, water and bathroom services to soldiers, a deal that led to a Justice Department lawsuit over alleged kickbacks, as reported by Bloomberg.

Who were Nos. 2 and 3?

Agility Logistics (KSE:AGLTY) of Kuwait and the state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp. Together, these firms garnered $13.5 billion of U.S. contracts.

As private enterprise entered the war zone at unprecedented levels, the amount of corruption ballooned, even if most contractors performed their duties as expected.

According to the bipartisan Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the level of corruption by defense contractors may be as high as $60 billion. Disciplined soldiers that would traditionally do many of the tasks are commissioned by private and publicly listed companies.

Even without the graft, the costs of paying for these services are higher than paying governement employees or soldiers to do them because of the profit motive involved. No-bid contracting – when companies get to name their price with no competing bid – didn’t lower legitimate expenses. (Despite promises by President Barack Obama to reel in this habit, the trend toward granting favored companies federal contracts without considering competing bids continued to grow, by 9 percent last year, according to the Washington Post.)

Even though the military has largely pulled out of Iraq, private contractors remain on the ground and continue to reap U.S. government contracts. For example, the U.S. State Department estimates that taxpayers will dole out $3 billion to private guards for the government’s sprawling embassy in Baghdad.

The costs of paying private and publicly listed war profiteers seem miniscule in light of the total bill for the war.

Last week, the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University said the war in Iraq cost $1.7 trillion dollars, not including the $490 billion in immediate benefits owed to veterans of the war and the lifetime benefits that will be owed to them or their next of kin.

More on Reserving the Right to Bomb Niggers: American airstrike kills at least 11 Afghan children

“Government officials might tell you that Afghan and foreign forces only have the right to use airstrikes in unpopulated areas, but in practice it is different,” said Gen. Amrullah Aman, a military analyst in Kabul. “Americans will use their air support whenever they need it, no matter where it is and no matter how many presidential decrees are issued.” More on "reserving the right to bomb niggers" [HERE]. 

From [HERE] and [HERE] An American military airstrike in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border was reported to have killed 18 people,including 11 children, have been killed in an air strike in eastern Afghanistan. Afghan officials said strikes happened overnight (while people were sleeping) n Kunar province, during a joint operation between Afghan and NATO troops against Taliban fighters.

The attack occurred Saturday during a joint mission of Afghan and American Special Operations forces that were targeting a high-profile Taliban commander in Kunar Province, Afghan officials said. After several hours of fierce fighting with insurgents, the American forces called in an airstrike to level the home of the commander, Ali Khan, officials said.

Civilian casualties (killing niggers at will) have long been a sticking point between President Hamid Karzai and his Western allies. Harsh criticism by Mr. Karzai led to stronger rules on the use of airstrikes by American forces last year, effectively halting such attacks on population centers and homes. (According to the New York Times) Civilian casualties at the hands of foreign forces have dropped dramatically since then (to a more acceptable number of dead niggers).

Hypocrite Kerry. “The folks who want to kill people, and that is all they want to do, are scared of knowledge,” Mr. Kerry said. “They want to shut the doors, and they don’t want people to make their choices about their future.” "We want to bring hope to our brothers and sisters all over the world" - yesterday. He is a professional liar. 

(Don't believe that "Afghan" children are niggers too? Understand that the only purpose of "race" is to practice white supremacy/racism. Who told you that you were Black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian or whatever? White people did. The supremacists always do the classifying.

US Accused of Supplying Chemicals Weapons to Extremists - 'fueling and orchestrating' war crime against people of Syria

Rt.com

Moscow has expressed its concern over the UN’s “inconsistent” and “unconstructive” approach to dealing with the charges of alleged chemical weapons use in Syria. Sara Flounders explains what could go wrong if the issue is not thoroughly addressed.

Russia has accused the UN of yielding to the pressure of “certain states” and disrupting the investigation into what Moscow says are perfectly verifiable claims, all in order to further condemn the regime of President Bashar Assad, while victimizing rebels. The attack in question took place on March 19 and has claimed the lives of 25 people, with blame being directed both ways.

Sara Flounders, who is the head of the International Action Center in New York, is adamantly opposed to the drumming up of any charges as a pretext for intervention or invasion. She recalls the lessons of Iraq and Libya – both now completely destitute and without properly-functioning governments. Finally, Flounders believes that the US is putting the region’s people in mortal danger by supplying extremists in the area with weapons for the purpose of bringing about regime change in Syria.

RT: The UN says it wants to assess all possible uses of chemical weapons, throughout all of Syria, and not just Aleppo. Russia isn’t too happy about that. Is that not the logical way forward?

SF: Well, it’s the most dangerous way forward, because the US is clearly using the UN and every possible international agency in order to continue their intervention. It’ the US and NATO that are clearly pumping arms into the region, that have orchestrated and created the crisis, using chemical weapons that are quite likely set to create a far more serious crisis, because they have not yet been successful in creating a regime change in Syria, which is their agenda. It’s the agenda of Saudi Arabia, of Turkey – a NATO member – and very much the agenda of the US, who is fueling and orchestrating this war crime against the people of Syria.

RT: The Russian foreign minister has drawn a parallel with Iraq where he says that false reports of weapons of mass destruction of course led to the invasion there. Could we perhaps be seeing something similar happening in Syria?

SF: That’s what’s so dangerous about this. The same scenario, the same playbook seems to be used now in Syria with similar charges. I mean – who has the weapons of mass destruction in the world today? It’s the Pentagon. And that’s a fact. Nevertheless, using the charge against countries that are trying to defend their own sovereignty again and again, has been an excuse for war – for occupation, for destabilization, for pumping in more and more weapons, paying mercenaries and death squads, attempting to foment civil war and sectarian warfare. It’s a very dangerous policy, and the worst and most dangerous ones are again and again, from the Sate Department, from the White House: the warnings that chemical weapons would be an excuse for deeper US involvement. So the charge is a very serious charge!

RT: What would happen if Assad’s regime collapsed – and he has allegedly got stockpiles of chemical weapons: what would happen to those? Is there a danger that they could get into the wrong hands?

SF: Of course, there’s a danger from every angle in this. There’s a Syrian government the people are defending. And the idea of outside intervention, of orchestrated mercenaries sweeping into the region and using it as one more weapons cache, is of course very dangerous for all the people of the region. They have no plan for rebuilding Syria, for providing for people’s needs. We can of course see the enormous payoffs, the loss of life the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Libya, have created. If you look at Libya today, it’s without an ounce of stability, a completely non-functional government – this is what they have in store for Syria, where already 70,000 people have died as a result of this US - NATO orchestrated war.

(genocide watch) Palestinian prisoner: ‘This hospital is like jail in fascist Germany during Holocaust’

Rt.com

Riots over the death of a Palestinian prisoner in an Israeli jail rampaged across the West Bank and Gaza this week. One of the detainees RT managed to reach said 25 of his fellow inmates had cancer and were being denied treatment.

The prisoner, whose anonymity is preserved for security reasons, believes medical assistance in the Israeli jails is withheld on purpose, “to break the will of the detainees.” Speaking to RT, he described the negligence sick Palestinian detainees are faced with.

We suffer from an incredibly low standard of medical assistance. Among those detained here, there are at least 25 people who suffer from cancer - and they’re not getting the treatment they need. They are only given painkillers,” he said, adding that the prison hospital is “like a jail, like the ones in fascist Germany during the Holocaust. It only has a small infirmary, if you get placed there for 15 hours - you leave with sick kidneys or liver, or any other kind of disease.”

Maysara Abu Hamdiyeh, a Palestinian inmate of an Israeli prison, whose death on Tuesday provoked a wave of clashes across West Bank and Gaza, had reportedly been refused release for treatment. According to Abu Hamdiyeh’s family, he had complained about his health since the summer of last year. But it was only in March, when he was already terminally ill, that prison authorities allowed him to be treated in hospital, where he died a week later.

Hamdiyeh’s funeral attracted thousands of mourners. The raging and rioting crowd blamed Israel for the 63-year-old prisoner’s death.

The accusations were dismissed at the highest level.

"The Palestinian detainees imprisoned in Israel receive excellent medical attention and are visited by the Red Cross, whereas inmates in PA prisons receive nothing," Ofir Gendelman, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said, accusing the Palestinian Authority of exploiting the prisoner's death in order to escalate tensions in the West Bank, according to Haaretz.

Hamdiyeh’s death is the second of a Palestinian in an Israeli jail this year - 30-year-old Arafat Jaradat died of a heart attack in February. Palestinian authorities claimed the he died after being tortured, citing autopsy findings revealed numerous injuries. Jaradat’s funeral also drew thousands of Palestinian demonstrators, who clashed with Israeli police.

The death of Abu Hamdiyeh had much stronger repercussions, showing increasing frustration of the Palestinians. Gaza broke the fragile four-month-long ceasefire, firing rockets into southern Israel, and eliciting an airstrike from Tel Aviv.

There is a state of wide-spread anger and indignation over what many people consider a premeditated murder by the Israelis. Palestinians think that the death of Maysara Hamdiyeh was a direct result of Israeli criminal negligence as well as moral callousness,” Khalid Amayreh, a Palestinian journalist, told RT.

More than 4,000 Palestinian inmates went on a hunger strike to show their anger at Hamdiyeh’s death. They want to draw the world’s attention to their plight.

We are demanding that the international community use the [UN] Security Council to free the sick detainees. We are talking of those who are mortally ill. I was just released from a hospital where I saw a young man suffering from kidney stones, who was only getting pain killers instead of treatment. There are people among us who have spent 35 years behind bars. We are demanding an International committee that would visit these prisons and prison hospitals. All of them,” the Palestinian prisoner told RT.

A stronger response from the international community to the situation with the Palestinian prisoners is something a Montreal based Center for Research on Globalization is calling for in its report issued April 6.  

Israel is arguably exempt from strong condemnation over its treatment of the Palestinian people as a result of certain international human rights organizations’ ability to ignore Israeli violations against the Palestinians,” the report says.

(the refinement of white supremacy) Who Polices Prosecutors who Abuse their Authority? Usually Nobody

Many non-white people have little understanding of the awesome power of prosecutors (aka district attorneys or attorney generals) or the term "prosecutorial discretion." Much of what we know comes from the media - which is controlled by white people and thereby reflects their interests in maintaining and refining the white supremacy system. The media misinformation provided and lack of information about prosecutors and what they are up to is an intentional part of your conditioning or mind shampoo process designed to confuse you and lead you to have unreal expectations of reality - mental illness.

Prosecutors (aka district attorneys, attorney generals) work for the ("State") Executive (mayors, county executives, governors and the president). These individuals pursue policies that reflect the interests of those who control them. Contrary to votary miseducation, this does not mean you. Although, the world is 90% non-white, white people control everything of value in all areas of people activity, 24/7, worldwide. White supremacists/racists are directly or indirectly responsible for everything that happens, or does not happen to non-white people. Racism is not merely a pattern of individual and/or institutional practice; it is a universal "operating system" of white supremacy and domination in which the majority of the world's white people participate.

Most prosecutors are white. Criminal defendants are disproportionately non-white. A major goal of the white supremacy system is the greater confinement of substantial numbers of non-white people, especially males. Neely Fuller explains that "in a socio-material system dominated by White Supremacists, all major decisions involving non-white people are made by White Supremacists."

No doubt, this includes decisions made by prosecutors who have the power to decide; whether a non-white person will be prosecuted (any case can be Nollied, diverted or deferred. Any case.), what charges to paper & present to the court, what kind of plea to offer, what kind of sentence to seek & recommend to the court (such as confinement, probation or to defer the imposition of a sentence), whether the death penalty will be sought and whether probation should be revoked or extended. As stated, most of these decisions are made by white people (racist suspects) about non-white people (victims of white supremacy). Of course, not all white people are racist/white supremacist - but most are. To the extent that a racist had anything to do with the prosecution of a non-white person's case, the criminal process was necessarily unjust and repugnant.

In his struggle against white supremacy, Mao Tse-Tung said, "it is well known that when you do anything, unless you understand its actual circumstances, its nature and its relations to other things, you will not know the laws governing it, or know how to do it, or be able to do it well."
