Are ICC snipers targetting Bashir sympathisers?

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has escalated its attack on Africa in the wake of the African Union’s (AU) rebuff to it on July 3.

The ICC and its ‘Persecutor in Chief’, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, are targeting Kenya in their campaign to strip African nations of sovereignty. If the assault is allowed to succeed, the British Empire is all but certain to achieve its goal of throwing the Greater Horn of Africa into war and chaos.

Moreno-Ocampo — backed by the highest levels of the Anglo-Dutch oligarchy, dedicated to world depopulation — is leading an effort to pick off nations from supporting the AU against the ICC.

Botswana and Uganda have already reportedly distanced themselves from the AU resolution; pressure is mounting on South Africa.

The AU summit in Sirte, Libya, on the evening of July 3, passed a resolution rejecting the ICC arrest warrant for Sudan’s President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Less than a week later, on July 9, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan forwarded to Moreno-Ocampo a secret list of prominent Kenyans alleged to have been responsible for the horrific violence that followed the December 2007 elections.

This step, following an unpublicised visit by Annan to Washington, was a surprise. He has reportedly admitted that his action resulted from outside pressure.

Meanwhile, Moreno-Ocampo began a tour in Africa to try to undo the AU-inflicted damage to the ICC.

The possibility that Annan might at some point give the secret list to the ICC, had forced two Kenyan Cabinet ministers and the AG to make a pilgrimage to the Hague, on Annan’s recommendation, to grovel before Moreno-Ocampo on July 3, and negotiate over the conditions under which the ICC would prosecute Kenyans.

secret list

While the summit in Libya was preparing its stroke against the ICC, Moreno-Ocampo was demanding that the three accept a clause in their agreement with him that ICC could prosecute if the Kenya Government did not. In yielding to that demand, "the three are said to have gone outside their mandate" from President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Dr Annan shocked Kenya by sending the secret list to Moreno-Ocampo without warning, claiming there had been sufficient delay. The ICC announced the next day, July 10, that it had set up a team of 14 professionals to investigate the suspects. Moreno-Ocampo was interviewed on KTN shortly after Annan’s action.

All of this, despite a timetable, which the Government had agreed with the ICC, to demonstrate Kenya’s commitment, by September 30, to try the suspects itself, and to hand the case to the ICC by June next year, if Parliament has not reached an agreement by then on a specific judicial mechanism.

As if these developments were not enough, 25 European Union members, Canada and the US — that is, the British Empire and its British-system supporters in the US — informed the Kenya Government on July 16, in a collective letter, that they were watching its every move; that the Government must establish a tribunal that meets their standards by September, or they would cut off aid.

Why do Kenyans think that Moreno-Ocampo’s hijacking of Kenya’s sovereignty will have a better outcome than the havoc he is trying to impose on Sudan? Such seizure will almost certainly lead to new violence and chaos by stirring up ethnic divisions.

Moreno-Ocampo and the ICC have claimed that the social and economic consequences of their actions are not their concern; their mandate is simply to achieve "justice".

true national identity

However, the founders of the ICC — global financier George Soros and his friend Lord Mark Malloch-Brown (Annan’s former deputy at the UN) — and the Anglo-Dutch empire they serve, care, perversely, about the consequences: They can scarcely be expected to repudiate the Global 2000 study, which considers a two-thirds reduction in world population beneficial. Africa is most vulnerable.

Kenya’s problems will not be solved by those who invented them in the first place. The British must be kicked out of Africa so that Kenyans and other Africans can begin to create a true national identity.

The AU resolution rejecting the indictment of Bashir was a sound first step, but much more is required for Africa to achieve sovereignty.
