Press Release: Scotland Yard to investigate Tony Blair and ex-Attorney General Peter Goldsmith for war crimes
Press Conference, Room C, ... all » 1 Parliament Street Tuesday 15th January 2008 3pm
John McDonnell MP, Chris Coverdale: International War Law Expert and Annie Machon of the Campaign to Make War History brief MPs and the media on allegations of war crimes committed against the people of Iraq by Britain’s former Prime Minister and former Attorney General.
Officers from Scotland Yard have commenced a criminal investigation into the deaths of Iraqi citizens killed during the armed invasion and occupation of Iraq. The Metropolitan Police are acting in response to crimes reported by peace activists from We Are Change UK and The Campaign to Make War History. In an unprecedented step, the case was handed to the War Crimes division of the Counter Terrorism branch who are now investigating allegations of 14 criminal offences committed by Tony Blair, Lord Goldsmith and others. The offences are under the International Criminal Court Act 2001, which came into effect under English common law, just two days before 9/11.
Two Members of We Are Change UK and a representative from the Campaign to Make War History were interviewed for six hours at Belgravia Police station on the 20th December 2007. Evidence was provided to the police relating to the crimes of:-
• genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and conduct ancillary to these crimes under Sections 51 and 52 of The International Criminal Court Act 2001. • a crime against peace and complicity in a crime against peace under Articles 6 and 7 of The Nuremburg Principles. • murder, incitement to murder and conspiracy to murder under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. • conspiracy to commit genocide, a crime against humanity and war crimes under the Criminal Law Act 1977.

Hardly surprising but still worthy of note: this parliamentary press conference was ignored entirely by the British MSM which is itself deeply complicit in the war crimes committed by the UK’s political leaders and military. Blair continues to be feted by a fawning press.
We must assume that his reason for converting to Roman Catholicism was to afford himself the convenience of confessing his crimes, a desperate attempt perhaps to wash the blood off his hands. And what of earthly laws?
The Rule of Law recognizes that no one is immune from the law. Everyone is supposedly equal before the law ... except in reality, in the Animal Farm that is Britain in 2008, some remain more equal than others.
So it remains to be seen just how far this police investigation will be allowed to progress before being quashed from on high.

So you think it is some kind of coincidence that Blair "converted" to Roman Catholicism?

As usual, AP, you don’t get the point. As Roman Catholicism is the only Christian denomination which allows one to confess one’s sins and receive absolution, I was speculating that Blair’s becoming a Catholic might have been a desperate attempt on his part to obtain a divine pardon for genocidal crimes.
I was, if you hadn’t noticed, being sarcastic!

Hmmm,,
Why does England still have resemblence to monarchy?
Monarchy similiar to dictatorship..
Why would the people of England except this?
Maybe because there bribed with days off from work,,,to continue supporting the monarchy...
Only in name only,,ha
If we pull back the curtain will we see Englands richest family,,the Rothchild?
It appears the supposedly non working monarchy is really the front company for the Rothschild’s..
In some perverted way the rothchild’s see themselves as King and Queen..of England...
With there little servants,,Prince Charlie’s sending his boy to play army..
We know the Rothschild’s love war and are part of New World Order..
Let’s hope the people of England realize this and take down the monarchy,,,
For the longest time I fell for,,,"Tony Blair is only the puppy to Bush"..
That he along with a few others suckered England into war..
But this is a crock,,the power in England allowed Blair to play a part in Bush’s Illegal war,,the Rothchild’s..because they wanted this war..
Blair and his side kicks didn’t pull the wool over the British governments eyes..
The British government was very involved,,from the company front(monarchy) to the Rothchilds’..
Otherwise when the Downing Street Memo’s where exposed,,showing how Blair and /Bush preplanned the Iraq war,,they would have screamed bloody murder and took steps to end this ILLEGAL WAR..
Prosecute Tony Blair and sidekickes..
I hope my Brit friends are seeing threw this,,and take down the front company of the Rothchilds’..
This ILLEGAL war is brought to us by the Rockfellors(USA),,Rothchild’s(Britian),,,Lockheed (lacing weapons of death with generational death-depleted uranium),,,connected from the USA to Britian...
Part of Bush’s selling this war to the people was praying on our trust of the Brits’...
Maybe the USA led the pack,,,but the Brits are just as guilty...
There appears to be a link in both countries that is helping in Illegal war and many other Illegal activities...the Media’s...
ALL LIES ARE BROUGHT TO US AND SOLD TO US BY THE MSMEDIA’S..
England was very involved in this ILLEGAL Invasion of Iraq,,,
Now lets all bow down to the King and Queen of England,,the Rothschild’s...

Childish logic....The Monarchy did not put us into this war......the politicians (or their backers), and the MSM (or it’s backers did).......Japan & UK & others are Monarchies and it works miracles.
The Commonwealth is a valuable family of nations the Monarchy binds .........
The Monarch would almost certainly oppose bad policy directly to the PM but they can’t do it in public....we are lucky to have someone the PM must report the "hair brained schemes" too or thing would be FAR worse...eg USA!
......their MUST BE SOMEONE who can stand up to the effective dictatorships of "one, two or 3 people" (backed by crooked MSM) that can control the Cabinet (& the whole party/Government).......... ....
...you can bet the Monarch opposes "stupid & wrongful wars".....THEY HAVE HAD 1000 yrs "FAMILY EXPERIENCE" in that business!
3 February 2008, 22:30, by Bluey Morgan
Why only the Blair government....this investigation should target EVERY country which was involved in "The Coalition of the Willing". As we have always said, "If you are not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem".
John Howard should also be placed under this investigation, so should Bush as it was these three alone which dragged all other participants to the negotiation table for a war built on nothing but LIES.
As an Australian, I am disgusted with the behaviour of these "leaders", who I would not trust ever again!!

The extraordinary legal process underway to disclose information relating to the authorship and delivery of the ’45 minute’ speech to Parliament is a necessary step towards the testing of the validity of the calls for a War Crimes and Crimes against Humaity charge on Blair and will, perhaps, challenge the legitimacy of his bid to become EU President. John Howard’s position has no equivalence (given his political death) and Bush is also nearly history. What are the implications of an EU President Blair?

Re: Blair -vs- Scotland yard. (Mr. Watson, I smell a rat and his MO is definately English!).
Pity poor Toadie Blair, with his legacy ’in the sewer’ an opportunistic lap dog Blair has spent the last year ’loading up’ on bribes and ’titles’ as a so-called special Middle East envoy for the Bush crime syndicate.
This opportunity has turned into a continuing war on the Palestinians as he does ’what he does best’ lying and deceiving in favor of the Bush crime syndicate’s efforts to, by ’hook and by crook,’ displace the legitimate democratically elected government of Palestine while pretending to be some sort of Anglo-Saxon Massiah for that 1/2 acre of Zionist hell, often referred as Eretz Ysriol (The so-called ’light unto the nations,’ vomit) by the apartheidnik ZioNazi’s of Israel.
Let us pray that with the expected defeat of the Bush crime syndicate in Afghanistan, and a NATO reeling from its endlss string of unfortunate massacres of Afghan civilians in the past 30 months, that the continuing ’surge’ in Iraq, like the war on the Taliban will be seen for what it is - an exercise in futility - and that the Bush/Blair ’blues brothers’ will find themselves unemployed and fleeing the International Crimes Court (ICC) investigators come the end of 2008 at best, or working for the Knesset hyena’s as certified nurses aids for ’veggie’ Arik Sharon, until someone has the good sense of (((pinching))) this murderous ’man fo peace’ bastards oxygen hose.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive - HSPD-10 Unclassified Version
Biodefense for the 21st Century
Release Date: 04/28/04
Pdf:

Preventing and controlling future biological weapons threats will be
even more challenging. Advances in biotechnology and life
sciences — including the spread of expertise to create modified or
novel organisms — present the prospect of new toxins, live agents,
and bioregulators that would require new detection methods,
preventive measures, and treatments. These trends increase the
risk for surprise. Anticipating such threats through intelligence
efforts is made more difficult by the dual-use nature of biological
technologies and infrastructure, and the likelihood that adversaries
will use denial and deception to conceal their illicit activities. The
stakes could not be higher for our Nation.
[W]e conducted a comprehensive evaluation of our biological
defense capabilities to identify future priorities and actions to
support them. The results of that study provide a blueprint for our
future biodefense program, Biodefense for the 21st Century, that
fully integrates the sustained efforts of the national and homeland
security, medical, public health, intelligence, diplomatic, and law
enforcement communities.
Specific direction to departments and agencies to carry out this
biodefense program is contained in a classified version of this
directive.
The United States will continue to use all means necessary to
prevent, protect against, and mitigate biological weapons attacks
perpetrated against our homeland and our global interests.
The traditional approach toward protecting agriculture, food, and
water .- focusing on the natural or unintentional introduction of a
disease — also is being greatly strengthened by focused efforts to
address current and anticipated future biological weapons threats
that may be deliberate, multiple, and repetitive.
A demonstrated military capability to defend against biological
weapons and other WMD strengthens our forward military
presence in regions vital to United States security, promotes
deterrence, and provides reassurance to critical friends and allies.
Despite the inherent challenges of identifying and characterizing
biological weapons programs and anticipating biological attacks,
we are improving the Intelligence Community.s ability to collect,
analyze, and disseminate intelligence. We are increasing the
resources dedicated to these missions and adopting more
aggressive approaches for accomplishing them. Among our many
initiatives, we are continuing to develop more forward-looking
analyses, to include Red Teaming efforts, to understand new
scientific trends that may be exploited by our adversaries to
develop biological weapons and to help position intelligence
collectors ahead of the problem.
Anticipation of Future Threats
The proliferation of biological materials, technologies, and
expertise increases the potential for adversaries to design a
pathogen to evade our existing medical and non-medical
countermeasures. To address this challenge, we are taking
advantage of these same technologies to ensure that we can
anticipate and prepare for the emergence of this threat. We are
building the flexibility and speed to characterize such agents,
assess existing defenses, and rapidly develop safe and effective
countermeasures.
Proactive Prevention
Preventing biological weapons attacks is by far the most
cost-effective approach to biodefense.
To address this challenge, we are further enhancing diplomacy,
arms control, law enforcement, multilateral export controls, and
threat reduction assistance that impede adversaries seeking
biological weapons capabilities.
The National Strategy to Combat Weapons of Mass Destruction,
released in December 2002, places special emphasis on the need
for proactive steps to confront WMD threats. Consistent with this
approach, we have improved and will further improve our ability to
detect and destroy an adversary.s biological weapons assets
before they can be used.
Attack Warning
Early warning, detection, or recognition of biological weapons
attacks to permit a timely response to mitigate their consequences
is an essential component of biodefense. Through the President.s
recently proposed biosurveillance initiative, the United States is
working to develop an integrated and comprehensive attack
warning system to rapidly recognize and characterize the
dispersal of biological agents in human and animal populations,
food, water, agriculture, and the environment.
Attribution
Deterrence is the historical cornerstone of our defense, and
attribution — the identification of the perpetrator as well as method
of attack .- forms the foundation upon which deterrence rests.
Biological weapons, however, lend themselves to covert or
clandestine attacks that could permit the perpetrator to remain
anonymous. We are enhancing our deterrence posture by
improving attribution capabilities.
Capabilities required for response and mitigation against biological
attacks will be based on interagency-agreed scenarios that are
derived from plausible threat assessments.
Moreover, we are working to expand and, where needed, create
new Federal, state, and local medical and public health capabilities
for all-hazard mass casualty care.
Medical Countermeasure Development
Development and deployment of safe, effective medical
countermeasures against biological weapons agents of concern
remains an urgent priority. The National Institutes of Health (NIH),
under the direction of the Department of Health and Human
Services, is working with the Department of Homeland Security,
the Department of Defense, and other agencies to shape and
execute an aggressive research program to develop better
medical countermeasures. NIH.s work increasingly will reflect the
potential for novel or genetically engineered biological weapons
agents and possible scenarios that require providing
broad-spectrum coverage against a range of possible biological
threats to prevent illness even after exposure. Additionally, we
have begun construction of new labs. We are striving to assure the
nation has the infrastructure required to test and evaluate existing,
proposed, or promising countermeasures, assess their safety and
effectiveness, expedite their development, and ensure rapid
licensure.

How can we get word to these MP’s that they can do much by taking private action through the courts to privately go after Blair and MPs in their PRIVATE capacity, not through regular channels. They can be held accountable in PRIVATE capacity if they have broken the law or acted outside the mandate of their office. Also, look to their oaths of office and if they are acting outside their oath, if they are bonded, can have their bond seized.
It is not until we make if financially hurtful to people that they will stop their illegal actions IMHO.
