The US Government Is The Most Complete Criminal Organization In Human History
Unique among the countries on earth, the US government insists that its laws and dictates take precedence over the sovereignty of nations.
Washington asserts the power of US courts over foreign nationals and claims extra-territorial jurisdiction of US courts over foreign activities of which Washington or American interest groups disapprove. Perhaps the worst results of Washington’s disregard for the sovereignty of countries is the power Washington has exercised over foreign nationals solely on the basis of terrorism charges devoid of any evidence.
Consider a few examples. Washington first forced the Swiss government to violate its own banking laws. Then Washington forced Switzerland to repeal its bank secrecy laws. Allegedly, Switzerland is a democracy, but the country’s laws are determined in Washington by people not elected by the Swiss to represent them.
Consider the “soccer scandal” that Washington concocted, apparently for the purpose of embarrassing Russia. The soccer organization’s home is Switzerland, but this did not stop Washington from sending FBI agents into Switzerland to arrest Swiss citizens. Try to imagine Switzerland sending Swiss federal agents into the US to arrest Americans.
Consider the $9 billion fine that Washington imposed on a French bank for failure to fully comply with Washington’s sanctions against Iran. This assertion of Washington’s control over a foreign financial institution is even more audaciously illegal in view of the fact that the sanctions Washington imposed on Iran and requires other sovereign countries to obey are themselves strictly illegal. Indeed, in this case we have a case of triple illegality as the sanctions were imposed on the basis of concocted and fabricated charges that were lies.
Or consider that Washington asserted its authority over the contract between a French shipbuilder and the Russian government and forced the French company to violate a contract at the expense of billions of dollars to the French company and a large number of jobs to the French economy. This was a part of Washington teaching the Russians a lesson for not following Washington’s orders in Crimea.
Try to imagine a world in which every country asserted the extra-territoriality of its law. The planet would be in permanent chaos with world GDP expended in legal and military battles.
Neoconned Washington claims that as History chose America to exercise its hegemony over the world, no other law is relevant. Only Washington’s will counts. Law itself is not even needed as Washington often substitutes orders for laws as when Richard Armitage, Deputy Secretary of State (an unelected position) told the President of Pakistan to do as he is told or “we will bomb you into the stone age.”http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5369198.stm
Try to image the Presidents of Russia or China giving such an order to a soverign nation.
In fact, Washington did bomb large areas of Pakistan, murdering thousands of women, children, and village elders. Washington’s justification was the assertion of the extra-territoriality of US military actions in other countries with which Washington is not at war.
As horrendous as all of this is, the worst of Washington’s crimes against other peoples is when Washington kidnaps citizens of other countries and renditions them to Guantanamo in Cuba or to secret dungeons in criminal states such as Egypt and Poland to be held and tortured in violation both of US law and international law. These egregious crimes prove beyond any doubt that the US government is the worst criminal enterprise that has ever existed on Earth.
When the criminal neoconservative George W. Bush regime launched its illegal invasion of Afghanistan, the criminal regime in Washington desperately needed “terrorists” in order to provide a justification for an illegal invasion that constitutes a war crime under international law. However, there were not any terrorists. So Washington dropped leaflets over warlord territories offering thousands in dollars in bounty money for “terrorists.” The warlords responded to the opportunity and captured every unprotected person and sold them to the Americans for the bounty.
The only evidence that the “terrorists” were terrorists is that the innocent people were sold to the Americans by warlords as “terrorists.”
Yesterday Fayez Mohammed Ahmed Al-Kandari was released after 14 years of torture by “freedom and democracy America.” The United States military officer, Col. Barry Wingard, who represented Al-Kandari said that “there simply is no evidence other than he is a Muslim in Afghanistan at the wrong time, other than double and triple hearsay statements, something I have never seen as justification for incarceration.” Much less, said Col. Wingard, was there cause for a litany of multi-year torture in an effort to force a confession to the alleged offenses.
Do not expect the Western prostitute media to report these facts to you. To find out, you must go to RT https://www.rt.com/usa/328329-kuwaiti-detainee-guantanamo-transfer/ or to Stephen Lendman http://sjlendman.blogspot.com or here to this site.
The presstitute Western media are part of Washington’s criminal operation.

Bullshit article.
I wish I had scrolled down to see who wrote it before wasting 5 minutes of my life. Isn’t there other things to hate besides the US? Sure, there has been lots wrong, but not everything.

paulo1, 99% of the problems in the world today are caused and supported by the Empire. All that is said above is true and if you don’t like it, shooting the messenger does not change the message.
The US is the plague on the planet and the sooner it goes down, the better for all, including those in the Empire itself. The sooner it’s economy fails and it cannot afford to man 1,000 foreign bases, and maintain 12 carrier fleets, the better for the rest of the world. The Chinese and Russians are working at this Achilles heel and will take down the USD as soon as they can.

Very good article by Mr Roberts. The US only recognizes other nations, or peoples laws or rights, when the US has no interests involved. And even in those cases, they still like to interfere. Mr Roberts could have also mentioned how during the Fukushima disaster, the american Nuclear rubber stamp agency, (NRC) was pretty much running the show-not Japan. OR how the US uses ‘free-trade’ agreements, NAFTA, TPP etc, to give (mainly) US corporations the ability to violate other nations sovereignty and laws at will. ‘Legally’. The citizens of countries subject to US FTAs *never* get a chance to have a say on whether they want them or not.
Endless examples of how a lawless united states, uses the cover of the ‘law’, to violate the law abound.
Davy on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 5:22 am
The US is only part of the problem. We are the real problem. Humans and our disposition to governance and control of our environment. Do you really think things would be better without the US? They might be for a very short time then the same problems would occur and maybe worse.
The world is now in a multi-polar world of paralysis. No nation can dominate anymore including the US. Increasingly the US is being marginalized by this multipolar world economically, politically, and militarily. The US is a “has-been” empire. The day we entered Iraq it was over. It is the hearts and minds of the world that make you an empire not guns. The US is hated by many in the world. Others are more opportune and use the US and global institutions in their own self-interest.
One thing has changed in the last month and that is the Brics being the next new power base. The Brics are in a free fall lead by China. Russia is facing serious economic issues with oils route and a quagmire in the Middle East. Brazil is in the big “D”epression. South Africa currency dove 10% last night. India well India is another planet. What about the Bric bank? I haven’t heard about China’s development bank. These were things spoken so highly of by the board extremist. The dollar was going to crash and burn. Show me something that worked with that narrative. It was more like a wish upon a star of fantasy by extremist for anything that could change the status quo.
What is happening is a frog boil of collapse of a system that is not capable of much change. Interconnection is is highly efficient but it is also brittle to change and adaptation. Things connected do not just grow and change in isolation and when they do it is called cancer. We are likely going to collapse as peers like Tainter talks about.
The US is an example of an empire at diminishing returns at all levels. I know of nothing in the US now that is a positive trend. At all levels we are disgusted with events. Yet, this is the same trend in the rest of the world with pockets of much worse. Environmentally China is off the charts in bad. Asian overpopulation is in a class all its own.
I am not here to apologize or protect the US image. I am disgusted with what the US has become. What bothers me is hypocrisy and distortions of a band of extremist. The lies that there is an alternative. The hypocrisy of winners and losers and right and wrong. This is not Hollywood with the Avatar people and the evil fascist corporate mercenary army destroying all that is good. We as humans are doing that. Look in the mirror.

I think the point by Davy that the world has been linked together and is now being dragged together down thus, is a very salient point and cannot be over emphasized. It is also I think a point most of us here agree on. The problems at the core of the world-wide system ie. Globalization and thus reinforce each other in an interrelated manner. Of course the biggest being environmental degradation and ruin which stand to exterminate not just civilization but many more species including us.
onlooker on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 5:51 am
I would also like to make a point and that is while the resources of the US have been used in this wholly unsustainable pursuit of economic conquest and growth at any cost, it is not really helpful to describe it by a country ie. the US. What it is in fact is an international cabal of highly wealthy and powerful individuals/families especially within the banking system who have from their lofty perches orchestrated a carefully thought out series of events and policies over time designed to put finance/money well above in power anything or anyone else. It is raw power and wealth. They care no more about Americans than about Hondurans or Iranians or whomever else. They have subverted the ideas of freedom, democracy, justice and equality in order to have an unopposed international regime that can best be described as a Plutocracy or rule of money.
makati1 on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 7:06 am
The US is an Empire in decline. That the manipulation is by the Elite is not new, just the methods that the Us is using to achieve it is. The Us is now everything it used to condemn and Americans are not only allowing it, they are cheering it on. What goes around, comes around. What is coming to the Us will not be mourned by the rest of the world, but cheered by most. The sooner the better.
Cloud9 on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 8:46 am
We are at peak government. The standoffs, the black lives matter, the incredible fire arm purchases, the popularity of Trump, the push back by western states against federal land claims, and the Governor of Texas calling for a constitutional convention all point to government’s waning influence. The majority of Americans see their own government as corrupt. This is a phase shift of epic proportions and we are not even over the event horizon of collapse.
Dredd on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 8:53 am
The empire was once an enterprise composed for the common good.
It still is, but the “common” is only 1% now … it used to be 99% (The Common Good – 11).

Completely agree onlooker. This international cabal has taken control over the US political system, and the US military industrial complex. There are only two ways that I can see this changing. Internally, through the democratic process of the American citizenry themselves, or externally, through war. This process has been repeated throughout history. The corruption always finds a way to rise to the top. This time is different however, as the repercussions are not only political, they are also environmental. What remains to be seen now, is whether this latest iteration of empire is finally brought down, or if they can achieve total and complete global domination. Either way, the outcome will be dire, their plans never included any of us.
onlooker on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 10:29 am
Yes Greg it seems they took it over sometime between the late 19th and early 20th century all of course furtively. That is past history and they have acted with complete disregard for anything even resembling rationality much less any altruistic motive whatsoever. To the contrary they have been ruthless to an astonishing degree as witnessed by all the mayhem, killings and unequal and unjust consequences. The greatest crime though is against the Earth and in that I would also place blame on every single person alive now. We shouldn’t have nor should we let them continue to make a joke of a viable future for humanity and other living species.
markisha on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 10:36 am
Makati do you honestly think that any other empire would be better , act better?
I am sure not. The so called elite must be a part of a solution to this quagmire. We must be scaled down and restricted from over populating the earth again. So called elite must lead our way from this disastrous situation, even they are guilty of the same . This time is to be or not to be
GregT on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 11:12 am
“The greatest crime though is against the Earth and in that I would also place blame on every single person alive now.”
Agreed. However, usury is a very large contributor here as well. Those who do wish to live simpler lives really do not have many options available in this system. You either play their game, by their rules, or you are out on the streets, and the higher up one gets in the game, the more they will support the system.
“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.” – The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
Quite brilliant really.
onlooker on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 11:40 am
Very true Greg, they did not leave many options open. Yes under the truly elite are wanna be elites especially of the greedy kind. The true top elite though are driven it seems by some perverse insatiable desire for power. As for brilliant yes in a deviously depraved manner.

The American Empire: Murder Inc
“Trror, intimidation and violence are the glue that holds empire together. Aerial bombardment, drone and missile attacks, artillery and mortar strikes, targeted assassinations, massacres, the detention of tens of thousands, death squad killings, torture, wholesale surveillance, extraordinary renditions, curfews, propaganda, a loss of civil liberties and pliant political puppets are the grist of our wars and proxy wars.”

theedrich on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 5:45 pm
P.C. Roberts is 100% right. The origins of U.S. government’s criminality, however, lie in the historical roots of our polity. The “Pilgrims” and “Puritans” (religious titles) were religious fanatics convinced of their election by God to sanctify the earth. Following their lead, Christianity (especially the various Protestant versions) has always provided the hypocritical camouflage for the mass murders and extortions of people and nations abroad, and now genosuicide of the White race. From Bible-reading Abe Lincoln to Victoria (“F the EU!”) Nuland, justification for our government’s crimes ultimately comes down to quasi-religious babble about how America is uniquely — indeed, divinely — obligated to determine the behavior of the rest of the world. For good measure, the elites persuade the people that “their” dictatorship is simply working for “truth, justice and the American way.” Thus we may be sure that, as long as the bread and circuses continue, the genetically and morally decaying population will go on supporting the gangland at the top.
It is virtually certain now that Clitoris Clinton will be the next POTUS. Thus the vertiginous governmental borrowing and squandering will continue. Moreover, as Gail Tverberg has made clear, they will necessarily continue at accelerating rates. This means that the imperial syndicate’s crimes will increase in scope, intensity and depravity. Paul Craig Roberts will probably run out of adjectives to describe the Dantean depths to which are about to descend.

You pretty much described the entire history of human civilization there, theedrich. You’re just obsessing over the assholes du jour. Angry much? Of course, you’re welcome to explain to the rest of us how you and yours have risen above their kin; Saints all, eh?
Apneaman on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 6:27 pm
theedrich, I actually agree with your first paragraph except for the genocidal white race obsession. Take the Chinese for example, they are not as far down the decadence path as anglo american culture and are probably more nationalistic, racist and xenophobic as a whole, yet it won’t do them any good, because everything we do now is suicidal regardless of race or culture. There is nothing to be done other than on an individual level and only for the short term.
As for the Pilgrims the lie starts with the name since pilgrims always go back home after a few days or so. Pilgrimage is a round trip.
Apneaman on Mon, 11th Jan 2016 7:01 pm
ghung, I do not believe we have risen all that much above our forefathers. I think it’s mostly the cheap abundant energy that has risen us up. It’s made it easier to exhibit the better nature of our angles, but this was mostly in the home countries. Much blood has been and continues to be spilled and it enables the easier life. Even more prevalent, is the planned structural economic enslavement of billions in other countries. This includes Canada too, although to a lesser degree. We have always cooperated with the US in ways and degrees that most Canadians and Americans are not aware of. I’m not trying to take away the credit of anyone’s good deeds and intentions, just pointing out that we lived in a unique, one time, period in history. As the net energy declines it should be no surprise that we are seeing a return to harsher treatment of the plebs in the home countries too. We meant well? Did the best we could? Who will ever know? I know we could have done worse and I’m sure we’re going to.
