Holding China Accountable for Crimes Against Humanity the World Over
It is becoming ever more obvious that the government of the People’s Republic of China has perpetrated crimes against humanity across the entire world and ultimately must be held to account for these crimes, just as high-ranking officials of Germany’s National Socialist Party were held accountable for their own crimes against humanity.
Following the end of the second world war, an international military tribunal was convened in Nuremberg, Germany, in order to hold prominent members of the political, military, judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany accountable for war crimes perpetrated against humanity. Presiding over the prosecution in the case was Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson. The trial began in November 1945 and the ultimate verdict was rendered on September 30, 1946. Twelve of the twenty -four defendants were sentenced to the gallows and ten were ultimately hanged, as Reichsmarschall Herman Göhring was found dead in his cell, having swallowed cyanide, on the morning of the execution (Nazi party secretary Martin Bormann was convicted and sentenced to death in absentia, as he had died while attempting to escape Berlin in May of 1945).
That coronavirus COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan Province of China, and from there spread across the world, is without question- save for anyone stupid enough to believe the outright lies and attempts at blame-shifting coming out of that country. The Chinese communists, well-practiced in the arts of deception and media manipulation (WHO, anyone?), have lied since the inception and initial spread of the virus, with changing stories and outright fabrications related to its origins, its spread and its death-toll within that country. They allowed the coronavirus to escape the Wuhan Institute of Virology- a laboratory which had received $ 3.8 million from the Obama administration- where a zootrophic virus originating from a non-regional bat was engineered to become even more virulent and deadly. Yet, the Chinese have repeatedly lied about this, too.
The very fact that their government halted all airplane traffic from and to the Wuhan Province within China and yet allowed international flights from that province to continue, shows the People’s Republic of China- at very least- has committed criminal and contributory negligence in doing so. Evidently, they did this to give that country requisite time to hoard and corner the market on personal protective equipment, including the N95 disposable respirator masks needed to protect people from spreading the disease. Assuming that this biological, weapons-grade and re-engineered virus was accidentally released, speaks of a government-operated lab lacking the requisite security and safety measures… again, assuming its release and spread was accidental. If found to be intentional, then the Chinese have deliberately killed more people outside their country and around the world, than any such pandemic in as short of a period of time, and thirteen times more Americans than the number of Americans killed in the September 11th and Pearl Harbor attacks, combined.
As of the morning of May 6, 2020, we know that almost four million people in the world have contracted the coronavirus, including more than 1.2 million Americans, and that more than one quarter million people worldwide, including 72,000 Americans, have perished as the result of becoming infected. While the spread and death-toll of this pandemic has reached across the entire world, we may never know the true death toll from the virus, because the numbers of infection and death being reported out of China seem to be revised daily and yet remain impossibly low, given the virulence and communicability of this invisible enemy.
What we do know is that the government of the People’s Republic of China must be held accountable for what they have perpetrated on the entire world. That may well happen once the effects of this virus have subsided, and once the Trump administration concludes its investigation on the origin and spread of the virus.
In the unlikely event that President Trump isn’t re-elected, then all bets are off on holding the Chinese accountable, since the Democrats and the mainstream media would rather blame Trump for the outbreak, instead of blaming those who are truly responsible for these biological war crimes against humanity. To them, hating Trump and preventing his re-election is more important than even the death of so many and the destruction of a worldwide economy.
