This is all a perfect example of how the 'moral' authorities that we allow to govern us have collapsed into their own corruption and decrepitness in favor of their own self-serving doctrines.

When we stop abdicating our own responsibility to govern ourselves, we will begin to move in the direction of ousting these false authorities, these figureheads, and return to a civil society once more in which we are our own authority.

Slobodan Milosevic's major crime was not selling off his country to be strip mined of all treasure by "the West" fast enough. The IJC has even less moral authority than the UN, if such a condition is possible.

And, God save the Queen, those bloody Kikuyu were squatting on land the crown had a more profitable use for.

The Mau Mau killed 32 white British people, giving the UK justification to set up concentration camps, kill over 20,000 Kikuyu and ethnically cleanse them from the most desirable agricultural lands in East Africa- Which the Brits took for themselves, of course! How many more died from deliberate starvation is highly debated to this day, most put the numbers higher than 50,000, several over 200,000, the British destroyed their records to prevent any proving how many- But the British can be shown to have legally executed more than twice the number as France did in the Algerian wars.

Echoes of this deliberate provocation and response are seen in "the October 7th excuse" for ethnic cleansing, the Israelis always were quick to learn from the UK.

What records of the Mau Mau suppression the Brits did not outright destroy are still sealed, just as the British records of their ethnic cleansing and concentration camps/genocide from the 2nd Boer War are to this day. Winners don't get tried for crimes against humanity.

Excellent discourse Kit, thank you. Britain has always adopted dual standards from time immemorial. It's the 'Rules-based Order' - their rules - our orders. It has ever been so until now, 2024 has some rather interesting Black Swans to come as the elites begin to run scared. They know that they are outnumbered hundreds to one. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/01/13/warmonger-britain-yemen-epstein-uk-flood-brain-power-unlucky-13-davos-cop-28-smart-meters-energy-kwh/

Exremely informative, as to ICJ procedure and to prior cases. All the Western, especially US, media told us was "Slobodan Milosevic genocide war criminal crimes against humanity" and, of course, rape, which always seems to be committed only by "the other guys."

Question: was there any filing with the ICJ about the violence against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine 2014-2022, or current actions by Ukraine against Russian Federation prisoners and/or ethnic Russians/speakers, especially Orthodox clergy and believers?

How would YOU describe massacre of 7000+ unarmed civilians at Srebrenica?

Also - is US Congress anti-Semitic?

Are Palestinians Semitic people? (Question to an AI chat)

The short answer is yes, Palestinians are indeed considered Semitic people.

Now, let's dive into the long answer. The term "Semitic" refers to a group of people who speak or are descended from people who speak a Semitic language. These languages include Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic, among others. Palestinians primarily speak Arabic, which is a Semitic language. So, in terms of language, Palestinians are indeed Semitic people.

But wait, there's more! The term "Semitic" is also used to describe a group of people who share common ancestry, originating from the Middle East and parts of North Africa. Palestinians, like many other groups in the region, have a rich and diverse history that includes various migrations, conquests, and cultural exchanges. This means that genetically, Palestinians are a mix of different ancestral groups, including Semitic peoples.

In conclusion, Palestinians are considered Semitic people both linguistically and ancestrally.

Unfortunately Kit didn't touch on the 8000 number. The ICTY concluded that bodies were dug out from elsewhere and brought to the various areas of Srebrenica to be buried again. There is 0 evidence that Serbs did this. There is, however, evidence that Izetbegović repeatedly mentions a "need for 5000 killed" (paraphrasing). Watch "Srebrenica, a town betrayed" on YouTube.

You seem to have a counter argument Boris, let's hear it. For your convenience, here is Srebrenica chief of police on camera testifying about Izetbegović' quota:

How did the US/NATO political and corporate media elites come up with the mythical 7,000 to 8,000 number of supposedly "unarmed" "Muslim men and boys executed" to exploit and manipulate Western audiences' emotions in order to justify their perfidious dismemberment and destruction of Yugoslavia and its peoples?

[Former BBC reporter Jonathan] "Rooper points out that the 40,000 inhabitants the UN used in July of 1995 before the capture of Srebrenica roughly matches the number of former residents accounted for in the aftermath. A commander of the Muslim-dominated Army of BiH (Bosnia-Herzegovina) later confirmed to parliament in Sarajevo that 5,000 BiH troops escaped largely intact to Tuzla while the UN registered some 35,632 civilian survivors."

[Since there were 35,632 civilian survivors registered by the UN *after* the enclave fell, +5,000 troops admitted by the Izetbegovic faction to have made it safely through Izetbegovic’s Muslim lines to Tuzla, then if we add 8,000 to that we get 48,632. There is no way in hell - even according to the UN’s and the US/NATO owned ICTY’s own figures - that the population of Srebrenica was 48,632 people in July 1995 prior to the Izetbegovic orchestrated “fall” to the Bosnian Serb VRS army. Nobody, not even the Izetbegovic Islamists or their supporters, can seriously claim with a straight face that Srebrenica had a July 1995 population figure of 48,632 people before it fell. See the documented evidence cited in the International Strategic Studies Association’s report “Defense & Foreign Affairs Special Analysis” Volume XXIII, No. 62,Friday, June 17, 2005]

"While the capture of Srebrenica was reported in July 1995, as it unfolded, an international outcry only took place **a month later**, after Madeleine Albright, then US representative to the UN, held up a photo which she said provided evidence that thousands of Muslim victims had been buried at field near Nova Kasaba, 19 kilometers from Srebrenica. Excavations which took place following the war, however, yielded 33 bodies at Nova Kasaba. Two years after the event, a total of 400 bodies had been found at 20 sites near Srebrenica, an area which had seen bloody fighting over a three year period."

The New York Times itself informs that:

“Some 3,000 to 4,000 Bosnian Muslims who were considered by UN officials to be missing after the fall of Srebrenica have made their way through enemy lines to Bosnian government territory. The group, which included wounded refugees, sneaked past Serb lines under fire and crossed some 30 miles through forests to safety.”

And the Times of London wrote:

“Thousands of the ‘missing’ Bosnian Muslim soldiers from Srebrenica who have been at the center of reports of possible mass executions by the Serbs, are believed to be safe to the northeast of Tuzla. Monitoring the safe escape of Muslim soldiers and civilians from (…) Srebrenica and Zepa has proved a nightmare for the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross. For the first time yesterday, however, the Red Cross in Geneva said it had heard from sources in Bosnia that up to 2,000 Bosnian Government troops were in an area north of Tuzla. They had made their way there from Srebrenica ‘without their families being informed’, a spokesman said, adding that it had not been possible to verify the reports because the Bosnian Government refused to allow the Red Cross into the area. [1]

Even those of the 5,000 who went to defend Zepa were also accounted for:

“The wounded troops were left behind, and when the Bosnian Serbs overran the town on Tuesday, the wounded were taken to Sarajevo for treatment at Kosevo Hospital. Many of them had begun their journey in Srebrenica and fled into the hills when that ‘safe area’ fell to the Bosnian Serbs on July 11. These men did not make it to Tuzla, where most of the refugees ended up, but became the defenders of Zepa instead. ‘Some 350 of us managed to fight our way out of Srebrenica and make it into Zepa,’ said Sadik Ahmetovic, one of 151 people evacuated to Sarajevo for treatment today. (…) They said they had not been mistreated by their Serb captors.”

In a previous text I asked the reader to simply use logic: “It might seem strange that the Muslim soldiers of Zepa would abandon their wounded comrades and that 5,000 Srebrenica soldiers would abandon their women and children to an enemy with a reputation – at least in the media – of being sadists, and rapists seeking to commit ‘genocide.’ Could it be that these Muslim soldiers knew that they need not be particularly worried about their women, children and wounded comrades falling into the hands of their Serb countrymen? The Serb forces had the wounded Muslim soldiers evacuated behind Muslim lines to their Muslim hospital in Sarajevo. Is this how one goes about committing genocide? Is this the military force compared to Nazis? What a trivialization of Nazi barbarism! Even the fact that the Serbs provided safe passage to women and children is interpreted as sinister, when it is proof that ‘genocide’ was not happening.”

Western democracies are ALL complicit in this genocide they see alive in front of their eyes yet they denying it. Even the blind can see and hear what's going on! How much more evidence they need? Only recently we saw daily ticktockers IDF Child killers dancing and singing about killing babies and they say clearly that they looking for babies to kill, even their criminal leaders are talking about carper bombing and ethnic cleansing, other entering the ONLY hospital in Gaza, disguised as women and medical staff and killing civilians Palestinians, one of them was in a coma! over 25000 people are massacred in form of the world, all over the social media yet the Hague, the fake democracies, the International community, Human Rights organizations are still deliberating whether this is genocide or not! Remember this hasn't started on 7th October as they pretend, it's been going on since 1948 but actually the massacres started in 1936 when the terrorist groups Irgun and Haganah massacre thousands of Palestinians and ordered over 200.000 to leave or die! Occupation, oppression and Apartheid State must End!

Talk about an essence of the western "rules" based order - all of its ICT'ies and ICTY's and future ICT'ees - bending over backwards so the rules remain for thee but not for me.

A smashing piece, Kit. Bravo!

You deserve more reader comments, K.K.

On related themes . . .

The long and rich history of the contemporary genocides of the cultured, cultivated Europeans, The Americans and the Brits., to nominate yet a few.

And first, of Washington's lost Ukrainian Proxy War to weaken Russia and pillage its resources, perhaps the greatest and most feckless imperial play, something of a progress update.
