On Universal Jurisdiction...
Or how a judge thousands of leagues distant thinks he or she is fit to sit in judgement over someone outside of their hegemony.
What a horribly wretched sign of the cancer that is globalization.
If a person feels they are wronged, let them find laws that apply to the person who wronged them to try them under.
I for one don't accept that some strange creature far removed from my home has any right to judge a person under laws originating outside of the accused's homeland. The sole exception being if the accused traveled somewhere and broke their laws there. Then let the justice fall on their head.
But I say this, A Spanish judge has no more right to sit over an American who's head has never been in Spain, than American congresses have the right to legislate traffic laws in India.
I'll not even begin to bring up the host of injustices that these ministers aught be seeing to in their own back yard.
If someone wants jurisdiction, let them become a judge where they wish to lay their judgement.
I am an American, for all the failings of my nation and her people, we are free.
Never submit, never bend knee, not domestically, and especially not to the baying of foreign dogs. My ancestors shed blood over this matter already. We will not be ruled without consent. We will not show throat to foreign powers.
If you want jurisdiction over me, come and when you have driven the lat spark of life from my body, then, and only then, will you have authority over me. I will never submit. All they can do is give me the even greater freedom of death.
This protection extends to all my countrymen and women.
I may hold some in utter contempt, and feel the flame of justice rage as an inferno for them... But they will burn by our justice, not that of some spiteful third party who wants to look important.
Tell me, where were you craven invertebrates when the actual injustices were being done?
Why didn't you take action then?
You think you can sit by on the sidelines with your strongly worded disagreements and count those as real opposition?
The simple truth is, you were too cowardly to risk your own blood then, and now you are so ashamed that you seek to ameliorate it by shedding someone else's.
