There was more despicable hypocrisy from "American Justice" today.

The same nation which PREACHES to every other nation on Earth about "human rights", and which CLAIMS that it doesn't engage in "torture" itself has ruled that its government, and ALL corporations are IMMUNE from any lawsuits by TORTURE VICTIMS of the U.S. government. So Halliburton, Blackwater, and the rest of those mercenary thug-factories can engage in ANY atrocities it wants to with absolutely no legal accountability of any kind (as can the U.S. government itself).



However, to PRETEND that the U.S. hasn't completely abolished all responsibility for its CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY the court noted that it was at least THEORETICALLY possible to "sue individuals".

Understand what this means in PRACTICE. It does NOT mean that war criminals like Dick ("Only the good die young") Cheney can be successfully sued. Rather, what it means is that when the U.S. is caught engaging in a particularly vile atrocity that it might throw the occasional LOW-LEVEL SCAPEGOAT to the wolves. (Are you listening Robert Bales?)

I say it again: this is a THOROUGHLY evil empire whose morality is BENEATH that of Hitler. In fact the MAIN difference between the Hitler regime and the Obama regime is simply that the U.S. has a much, much better "P.R." (i.e. propaganda) machine than the Nazis.

Put another way, the U.S. has put into practice everything it has LEARNED from the Nazi propaganda machine over the past 70 years.


"Torture Suits Against Companies Blocked by Top U.S. Court"

The U.S. Supreme Court limited the reach of a law that protects American citizens from torture in other countries, ruling that victims can sue only individuals, not governments or corporations.

The justices unanimously threw out a suit filed against the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian Liberation Organization by the relatives of Azzam Rahim, an American allegedly tortured and murdered in the West Bank during the 1990s.

The ruling is a prelude to a case the court will take up in its next term, when it will consider the scope of a similar law that applies to non-citizens, the Alien Tort Statute.

Multinational companies have faced dozens of suits under the two laws accusing them of playing roles in human rights violations, environmental wrongdoing and labor abuses. Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Coca-Cola Co. (KO), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Unocal Corp., Chevron Corp. (CVX) and Ford Motor Co. (F) have all been sued.

In the Palestinian case, the central issue was a provision that authorizes suits against “an individual” engaged in torture. The Supreme Court today said that language excludes corporations or organizations such as the PLO and Palestinian Authority. The ruling upholds a lower court decision.

The case is Mohamad v. Rajoub, 11-88.
