Today as I write we are experiencing the effort by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabba and CIA Director John Ratcliffe to retrieve American law from its weaponization against President Trump by the Obama Five–John Brennan, James Coney, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama himself, all of whom have been referred to the Attorney General on criminal charges. These people created the false “Russiagate” charges against President Trump in order to cancel his election and presidency and his intent to “normalize relations with Russia,” which was a threat to the profits of the US military/security complex.

A large percentage of Americans are outraged by the corrupt Democrats’ use of law against Trump as a weapon in order to trample on the democratic process that elected Trump. But the weaponization of law occurred 80 years ago at the Nuremberg Trials.
The person responsible was the least likely of all. It was former US Supreme Court Justice and former US Attorney General Robert Jackson.
Until I read some years ago David Irving’s book, Nuremberg, I was a great admirer of Robert Jackson. I still am for his previous positions, but he blew it at Nuremberg.
World War II was a disaster for many reasons still unrecognized. The victims were not only the millions of lives, the destruction of economies, the loss of European countries’ national confidence and sovereignty, but also truth and justice as values that must be defended.
At Nuremberg the British, Americans, and Soviets, who had committed worst war crimes than the Germans, sat, immune from accountability, in judgment. “The winners write the histories” and hold he trials.
As David Irving documents in his histories, Churchill’s War and Hitler’s War, Hitler regarded the bombing of civilian cities as a war crime. When Churchill kept secret from his cabinet Hitler’s generous offer of peace, which included Germany’s promise to use its military power in defense of the British Empire, which Hitler regarded as essential to the continuation of vastly outnumbered white ethnicities, Churchill kept the document secret from the British Parliament and ordered the British air force to commence bombing civilian German residential neighborhoods.
Churchill ordered that the air force focus on workers’ housing, because it was closer together and the fires would spread quicker. He ordered that first the British bombers use incendiary bombs, then when the fire trucks showed up to again hit with high explosives. He ordered that the British air force add poison gas to the bombs. At this point, the Air Force high command, already concerned about war crimes, flatly refused.
In Germany, the generals told Hitler that the British would not stop bombing German civilians unless Hitler replied in kind. Once Hitler was pressured into this response, Churchill, who had kept secret from the British that he was firebombing German cities, said: look, the barbarian Hitler is bombing civilians. We must fight on and continue the war.
