(Biden) would not tie military assistance to Israel to any political decisions that it makes. Period. Full stop. He said it; he’s committed to it. And that would be the policy of the Biden administration.-Anthony Blinken, 2020
On May 20th, 2024, something unprecedented happened. The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, applied for warrants for the arrest of Benjamin Netayhau and Yoav Gallant, the Prime Minister and Minister of War of the Zionist entity. Although the ICC has no real power to enforce it’s decisions, this is still a notable event. It is the first time that the leaders of an American proxy state have faced any repercussions for their crimes, even theoretically.
It seems that the world is finally awakening from it’s slumber. The bandits who have spent the past decades slaughtering the Palestinian people and lying to our faces about it are finally forced to imagine a world where they may be held accountable for what they’ve done.
Their reaction is predictable.
As Biden once told his constituents at a reception in the five star Salamander Hotel in Washington DC:
We’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel in the process. Not a single thing.
Biden would not have made it so far in politics if he lied to his bosses. The words he said to his wealthy donors and wall street paymasters still hold true today, even as the Zionists face sanction from one of the pillars of America’s “rules based international order.”
Before the ink had even dried in the Hague, the Biden regime set about violating the rules which they force on the world at gunpoint with such gusto that even their tame propagandists in the media are horrified.
Of course, the ruling class are not only concerned with their beloved proxy force in Palestine. The maniacs who turned decades of endless war and killing into decades of endless profits for Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing and General Dynamics can see the writing on the wall. If the ICC starts doing it’s job and prosecutes criminals, it won’t be long until they come for the criminals who lurk the halls of congress.
Lindsay Graham, a senator from South Carolina and demagogue so unhinged that he has openly called for Gaza to be flattened without regard for civilian casualities (a clear and unambiguous call for genocide), did not mince words when he warned Congress that if the ICC prosecutes the Zionists, they’re next. For once in his life, Graham may have been telling the truth. As Graham defended NATO’s atrocities during their 20 year occupation of Afghanistan, his fellow war criminals interrupted his speech with raucous applause.
Even the slightest hint of consequences for their crimes has these bandits so afraid that they have forgotten to lie about it. The forthcoming destruction of the ICC, one of the pillars of America’s vaunted “rules based international order,” serves as much to protect them as it does their triggermen in Tel Aviv.
Within a day of the ICC’s press release, Biden’s minister of war Tony Blinken, has indicated that he is willing to work with the far-right to punish the ICC. Given as these lunatics have already written and signed into law a bill which would require the United States to invade it’s NATO ally the Netherlands if any American or their vassals ever went before the courts, it is not likely that this will be a symbolic sanction. One of the senators who voted yes on what became known as the “Hague Invasion Act” was the senior Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden.
Since the beginning of the Zionist entity’s war of extermination, Blinken has been taking point on the Biden regime’s propaganda offensive against Palestine. Even before the ICC warrants, Blinken was already threatening to defund the UN and specifically the World Food Program, if they accepted Palestinian membership. In closed door meetings with Palestinian-American journalists, community and business leaders, Blinken repeatedly said “the world will have to starve like Gaza” if the UN recognizes Palestine.
Even from a wealthy American bureaucrat who has lived his entire life shielded from any consequence, this sort of threat is mind boggling. As he tore away the mask of civility to reveal the fangs of capitalism, Blinken also admitted something that millions of people around the world have learned the hard way over the past decades. America uses starvation as a weapon to further it’s foreign policy goals. Once again, this is a clear and unambiguous admission of genocide.
If Blinken is willing to commit an act of genocide by starving the world for simply acknowledging that Palestine exists, to what lengths would he be willing to go protect the Zionist leaders from their well deserved date with the hangman?
This is nothing new for Anthony Blinken. Even a cursory look at his history shows a man who has dedicated his entire life into furthering murderous American imperialism. He was one of the fiercest advocates for America’s illegal, unjustified, full-scale invasion of Iraq, a nation which had no weapons of mass destruction and was violently opposed to Al-Qaeda.
In months leading towards the invasion, Blinken played a major role in shaping the propaganda narrative emerging around the Iraq war. At the time, Blinken was the chief of staff for the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Delaware Senator Joe Biden. Hidden deep inside the labyrinthine machinery of our government, these committees are often ignored, but they actually wield great power. In this case, the Foreign Relations Committee was responsible for organizing hearings about the Iraq war and the canny veteran Joe Biden knew how to use that to his advantage.
Biden’s power meant he got to decide who was allowed to speak and for how long at televised senate hearings where the Bush regime laid out their case for war. In order to ensure that no pesky facts could derail their march towards a profitable war, Biden stacked the deck by limiting the hearings to only a half a day and only allowing pro-war speakers. His loyal lieutennant Tony vetted every choice, and made sure their loyalties were clear.
Out of the 18 speakers invited, none of them opposed America’s illegal invasion. They all repeated the same lies, about how Saddam had WMDs mere moments from launch, ready to obliterate America, or perhaps the entire world. Scholars and UN weapons inspectors who were waiting to testify that Saddam had disarmed long ago were sent home. Their testimony was far too dangerous to allow.
The war went ahead with almost unanimous support from both parties, the media, and the American ruling class. The voices of the 36 million people who protested the war worldwide were ignored or silenced by the tear gas and clubs of the regime’s security forces.
Unfortunately, the nature of capitalism means that one war is never enough. The stock market demands constant growth, and even record profits can be improved. Tony Blinken’s masters on Wall Street were not content to feast on Iraq, they demanded more. Tony is nothing if not a loyal soldier of capital, so he kept working to expand the American crusade into neighboring countries, bathing an entire region in blood and leading to the deaths of millions.
All this suffering came about for one reason, and one reason only. Profit.
Profits for the arms dealers, who need death to sustain their business model. Profits for the bankers, who scooped up the shattered remains of nations. Profits for the oil companies who violently seized resources for their own gain. Profits for the contractors, who’s work “rebuilding” was so shoddy that it electrocutes American soldiers.
After Blinken secured record profits for the ruling class, he spent almost a decade running interference for his boss, helping him whitewash his involvement in the now incredibly unpopular Iraq war. During the latter half of the 2000s, Blinken followed Biden around like a dog, fending off reporters who tried to ask inconvenient questions.
In 2017, one year after Biden ascended to the White House as Obama’s vice-president, Tony moved to greener pastures, founding WestExec, a “consulting firm” staffed with with the most promising of a new generation of criminals. Among them were 2 future CIA directors, Avirl Haines and David S. Cohen.
Understandably, Blinken’s WestExec refuses to relapse it’s client list, but it is known that they collaborated closely with the Zionist entity and it’s nascent AI firms who are today responsible for much of the massive surveillance and extermination network operating inside the apartheid regime.
Later in life, Haines was instrumental in covering up the CIA’s worldwide campaigns of illegal detention, torture and “extrajudicial” drone strikes1. As deputy director of the CIA, she ignored clear evidence and even overruled congress to decree that no CIA agents would be punished for their crimes.
Haines now spends most of her time arguing for a war with Iran, painting the nation which has bombed fewer countries in the past 50 years than America has in the past 50 days and imprisons less than half as many of it’s citizens per capita, as a regime too “totalitarian” to be allowed to exist. Given her career orchestrating and covering up some of the most monstrous crimes of our age, it can be said that Haines is an expert in totalitarianism if nothing else.
David S. Cohen is less known, but no less deadly. A former attorney by trade, Cohen was hand picked by the far-right regime of George W. Bush to head the Office of Foreign Assets Control, an organization responsible for administering America’s criminal and genocidal campaigns of sanctions. About two weeks after 9/11, Bush used an executive order to grant himself the authority to unilaterally designate various countries, individuals and companies as “state sponsors of terrorism” without evidence and without appeal. Any individual or company which dealt with these “sponsors of terrorism” was subject to automatic blacklist, permanently banning them from doing business with the US or it’s allies.
Bush used this authority to expand America’s campaign of economic warfare, already responsible for the deaths of millions, to heights previously unimaginable. The executive order has been renewed every year since, and it remains in effect today. Each subsequent president has only added to the list, starving ever more of the world to ensure no one can oppose their rule.
Cohen’s boss, Barack Obama, was one of the most notorious in that regard. Not wanting to be portrayed as weak on “national security” and under immense pressure from his party’s financiers in Saudi Arabia, Obama implemented one of the harshest blockades the world has ever seen against Yemen, a nation embroiled in fighting after the people rose up against their Saudi (and American) backed government.
The results of these sanctions are devastating. In Yemen alone, over 180,000 have died from malnutrition, lack of medicine, clean water and fuel and a breakdown in sanitation as a result of sanctions enforced by the United States Navy. At their peak, UNICEF determined that Obama’s sanctions killed one Yemeni child every ten minutes. This has been part of a war so savage that Human Rights Watch deems it collective punishment against the Yemeni people, an act of genocide.
All in all, over 400,000 have been killed due to the savage Saudi led, US backed intervention in Yemen and that number increases by the day as the Biden regime pummels the nation with airstrikes in support of another genocide in Gaza.
It’s not just Lindsey Graham, Joe Biden and Tony Blinken who are so afraid of paying for their crimes that they lose control and forget to lie. ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has told journalists that “senior western leaders” told him that the ICC was only made to prosecute “Africans and thugs like Putin.”
Once again they gave up too much of the game. In their anger, they cannot help themselves but to reveal the double standards of the “rules based international order.”
According to the United Nations, as of February 2024 (the last data available), over 10,000 civilians have perished after 2 years of fighting in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Around 2000 of those have been Russian citizens, killed on Russian territory by the constant terror attacks the Kiev regime carries out against people it still considers to be it’s citizens. Around 8000 of those were in territory controlled by Kiev, amounting to about 300 a month.
Each one of these deaths is tragic. Even one death for NATO’s profits is far too many, but we are told that this is an act of genocide. That Putin is intentionally targeting and killing civilians, and his intent is to exterminate all of the Ukrainian people. All the leaders and propaganda ministers in NATO repeat the same lines, over and over, as if reading off a script, and their thralls in the media repeat their claims without question.
These same people tell us, just as frequently, that the Zionist entity is not committing genocide in Gaza. That it is not targeting civilians, does not intentionally starve them and the Zionist courts, long ago couped by Netanyahu’s fascist party, should be allowed to investigate their own crimes.
According to the United Nations, in about 8 months of fighting, over 35,000 civilians have been murdered by the Zionist regime in Gaza. At least 12,300 of those are children. More Palestinian children have died in 8 months than the entire civilian death toll of Putin’s “genocidal” war.
With the invasion of Rafah, the final of Joe Biden’s imaginary “red lines”, now seemingly imminent, that number will only increase and Biden will continue to do nothing to stop them. The regime has already promised to support their beloved proxy no matter what.
How is it that one of these things is genocide, and the other is not?
Even beyond the staggering disparity in the death toll, the words and deeds of the Zionists contradict their masters constantly. They are so accustomed to the impunity provided by the “rules based international order” they can’t even be bothered to cover up their crimes. The thugs on the ground gleefully film themselves murdering, burning and looting in Gaza, laughing and cracking jokes as they destroy Palestine and brutalize it’s people.
Much like in America, their leadership is no less brutal. Fascist maniacs like Itmar Ben-Givr, the Zionist entity’s minister of “national security”, cannot help themselves but to call for genocide day in and day out, in broad daylight and on camera.
Even the people who sold us the Iraq war are having difficulty hiding the truth. As hours and hours of footage continue to emerge of Palestinians digging the bodies of their children out of the rubble of their homes after yet another airstrike by American-made aircraft, the civilized people of the world can no longer ignore the overwhelming evidence of the Zionist crimes and America’s unflinching support of them.
The institutions that the capitalists built to impose their international order on the world are slowly betraying them, appaled by both the brutality and the sheer arrogance of America’s genocidal project. As the ICC does not appear to be backing down, we can only hope that for once, Lindsey Graham’s words will be proven right.
What will happen when the people who have converted the lives of millions into lines on a chart finally know even a fraction of the fear they have inflicted on the people of the world?
A euphemism for murder.
