UN Security Council Votes Unanimously to Cover Up Obama-Saleh Yemen War Crimes, Maintain Murderous Regime, Help Dictator Escape Justice — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)
In this video from this morning’s Democracy Now!, newly crowned Nobel Peace Prize recipient Tawakkul Karman pleads for New Yorkers/Americans to join her protest at the UN at 3pm today. As one can read in the CNN link below, the Security Council passed the cover-up measure despite her protest.

The UN cover-up appears to be aimed at protecting dictators Ali Abdullah Saleh and Barack Obama from international prosecution for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity they committed which were revealed by Wikileaks, which exposed separate direct communications wherein Saleh Criminally Conspired with Barack Obama, US Secretary State Hillary Clinton, and then-Secretary of Defense David Petraeus (who is now director of the Central Intelligence Agency).

Karman in the Democracy Now! video above decries the frequent Murders of peaceful protesters by Obama Death Squad (ODS) snipers still going on, and the ODS political Assassinations of Yemeni Journalists in the past two days and the past two weeks. Without mentioning Obama by name, she asserts that these Murders are atrocities.
In what looks like a direct threat against Karman in revenge for her winning of the Nobel Peace Prize last week, two days after the award, an ODS sniper Murdered a 20-year-old woman who was peacefully protesting at a large demonstration in Karman’s hometown Taiz. This marks the first time in Yemen that ODS has Assassinated a woman (though Obama Death Squad Assassins in Mexico routinely Murder women).

Speaking of cover-ups, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner Tawakkul Karman came on Democracy Now! this morning calling for people to come protest this outrage with her: This UN agreement prevents the investigation. It helps Saleh escape now; it helps Obama, Clinton, and Betray Us escape later. It keeps the same dictatorship in power, but changes the figurehead.
Here’s the cover-up: No US news source covered the protest, with the new Nobel laureate protesting the UN covering up our President’s War Crimes at the United Nations building in New York City. If it’s not in the news, maybe we can pretend it never happened. I’ll venture a guess that there was a demonstration, maybe even including Occupiers. I may never know.

At the end of WW2 the winners/victors/triumphants — the Allieds — set down the post war tribunal regime(s) for Japanese and German losers/vanquished/defeateds — this Victors Justice was for years afterwards paraded by WashingtonDC as the mark of American Exceptionalism for legal and juris prudence,martial tribunal and Why Americans Were The Good Guys of WW2.
Of course the real story was much more complicated and often much more gray and murky as to done rights and wrongs of WW2 but The Atomic Victors wrote the last chapters and words on/about WW2.
Korea undermined this American WW2 narrative and Vietnam actually defeated WashingtonDC — a feat the Japanese had failed at in WW2..
Now some 65 years after WW2 ended,after the 1980′s and 1990′s and this first decade of the 21st century the Americans are going to assign Victors Spoils to themselves despite all the evidence,facts and truths of what has taken place since Saddam attacked Iran,failed at it and then began his descent into WashingtonDC’s disfavor. He failed to take out Iran and that was a failure WashingtonDC still is brooding over and not letting the War Drums of the Pentagon/CIA go silent over.
Bush got away with his warcrimes. Obama plans on doing so too.
It still is Victors Justice as far as WashingtonDC is concerned.
Plenty of evidence pointing that way.
This Drone War that WashingtonDC is now so taken up with will open upon the time when everyone will have figured out how to get,fly and do Drone War death dealing and mayhem delivery.
One can anticipate the howls of WashingtonDC when it comes to be so.
Whatever just fell on Libya likely is the prototype and model for what Iran can expect and Pakistan already is tasting.
SoS Clinton now talking and acting like it is 1947.
The Americans killed lots of innocents during the War On Vietnam but got away with it. Clearly Iraq and Afghanistan are going to get the same and if/when Iran gets it or Pakistan falls down deeper they will too.
For those of us who are/were Star Wars fans it was obvious who the Bad Guys were — lets just say we Americans are not the Rebel Alliance guys in any Star Wars film. Americans are now the guys in the big Corellian Star Cruisers who send out Drones and KillerBots.
Victors Justice works both ways. Americans should think more carefully about what happens/will happen when the Other Side is the Victor and a defeated WashingtonDC has to/must yield and then kneel and prostrate itself. Who will be looking for mercy then?
I would not mind seeing G.W Bush,R.B.Cheney,Obama,Albright,Rice and Clinton,Rumsfeld,Gates,Panetta and several more pages worth of warcriminals,facist imperialists and deathdealers WashingtonDC has produced since 1946 kneeling and seeking the mercy they would not give,did not give during their time when they could have.
Victors Justice may/will not always be run by WashingtonDC.
Barack Obama is going to do more of what he is doing and it would be progress if the O -Bots and D -Bots acquired clearer thinking about and over this being so. Doubtful of it but hope must hope.

Saleh has been responsible for at least as many deaths as Gaddafi,but he will be allowed to go free because his fate is tied with that of Obama.
The US Congress will give its blessing to enrich War profiteers and their wealthy Wall Street investors, many of whom are members of Congress, by stamping its approval on the sale of $53 million of arms to Bahrain–a nation like the USA that is controlled by a minority whose government suppresses and abuses the majority.
