Video: “The Criminalization of War”. America’s “Global War on Terrorism” is Fake. Michel Chossudovsky
From 2005 to 2016, under the helm of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad former Prime Minister of Malaysia, I served as member of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC) which coordinated the prosecution and led the indictments against: Bush, Cheney, Blair et al (May 2012).
See excerpts of the KLWCT 2012 judgment below, which were barely acknowledged by the Western media.

The following Presentation, Kuala Lumpur, March 2015 focusses on the criminalization of war and US-NATO’s self proclaimed “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT).
I should mention that during his tenure as Vice President, Joe Biden was firmly supportive of the carpet bombing of Iraq ordered by President Obama starting in August 2014 under a “Fake” anti-terrorist operation against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL-ISIS-Daesh).
On August 7, 2014: “President Obama authorises the first air strikes to protect US diplomats and aid Iraqi government forces”.
What shear nonsense. Why is this anti-terrorist operation “Fake”?
The Islamic State (ISIL-ISIS-Daesh) is an al Qaeda affiliate, a creation of US intelligence, financed and supported covertly by US-NATO.
The operation was directed against Iraqi and Syrian civilians. It resulted in extensive destruction of the civilian infrastructure of both countries. ISIS was the pretext which was heralded by the media.
And in September 2014, Obama announced the formation of “an anti-ISIS coalition” with the participation of NATO member states as well as US allies in the Middle East (including Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, etc).
The incursion of the Islamic State (IS) brigades from Syria into Iraq starting in June 2014 was part of a carefully planned military-intelligence operation supported covertly by the US, NATO and Israel.
The counter-terrorism mandate was a fiction.
The Islamic State was protected by the US and its allies. If they had wanted to eliminate the Islamic State brigades, they could have “carpet” bombed their convoys of Toyota pickup trucks when they crossed the desert from Syria into Iraq in June 2014.

The Syro-Arabian Desert is open territory (see map below).
With state of the art jet fighter aircraft (F15, F22 Raptor, CF-18) it would have been -from a military standpoint- a rapid and expedient surgical operation
The Obama administration’s carpet bombing operation against Iraq and Syria entitled Operation Resolve was carried out over several years.

In May 2012, the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal passed a historic judgment against George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, et al:
“After hours of deliberation, the tribunal, in the verdict that was read out by the president of the tribunal Tan Sri Dato Lamin bin Haji Mohd Yunus Lamin, found that the prosecution had established beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused persons, former President George Bush and his co-conspirators engaged in a web of instructions, memos, directives, legal advice and action that established a common plan and purpose, joint enterprise and/or conspiracy to commit the crimes of Torture and War Crimes, including and not limited to a common plan and purpose to commit the following crimes in relation to the “War on Terror” and the wars launched by the U.S. and others in Afghanistan and Iraq:
(a) Torture;
(b) Creating, authorizing and implementing a regime of Cruel, Inhumane, and Degrading Treatment;

(e) Violating the Geneva Convention III and IV 1949;
(f) Violating the Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention of 1949.

The Tribunal finds that the prosecution has established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Accused persons are individually and jointly liable for all crimes committed in pursuit of their common plan and purpose under principles established by Article 6 of the Charter of the International Military Tribunal (the Nuremberg Charter), which states, inter alia, “Leaders, organizers, instigators and accomplices participating in the formulation or execution of a common plan or conspiracy to commit war crimes are responsible for all acts performed by any person in execution of such plan.”
