The U.S. Is Trying To Ban International Officials Who Investigating War Crimes!

Trump will block the International Criminal Court investigators from coming to the United States.

Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are trying to ban individuals who work for the International Criminal Court from entering the United States. The ICC's mission is to bring to justice individuals who commit war crimes across the world.

Pompeo announced that he will take actions to protect Americans and the Israeli government from being brought to ICC for criminal charges.

"We are determined to protect the American and allied military and civilian personnel from living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation," said Pompeo.

This is a controversial move. The move was ordered by John Bolton, the National Security Adviser and regional wingnut within the Trump machine. Pompeo said that the ICC prosecutor's office has open an investigation into possible war crimes by Afghan and American forces in Afghanistan.

Bolton threatened punitive action in September to the ICC.

The U.S. has never been an active member of the Rome Statute but has been instrumental in bringing dictators and foreign generals to court. Most tried are prosecuted for war crimes.

This is a travesty.

Again, do you wonder why al Qaeda attacked the United States?

Before the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden made a decree. He said that the United States and Israel have committed criminal acts upon the Muslim world. He said that our influence on policies have brought poverty, war and economic disruption. The group vowed to cripple the government and financial markets. al Qaeda said the U.S. will waste all its resources trying to stop them. They also noted that American Muslims and those who live in Europe, Australia and Africa will come to their aid and join them. They said the U.S. will be so paranoid of a terrorist attack, they will destroy the very freedoms they're trying to protect.

Once again, we see history repeat itself. Osama bin Laden's son Hamza is looking forward to taking the helm of this group. The group is trying to plan another crippling attack on the country.

We have to understand them. We also have to protect ourselves when we see strange activity.

We must understand everyone has a place in the United States. We have to show those who "hate" us that we're better than this.

Trump, Congress and the junk food media will continue to keep us divide, distracted and angry.
