Consider Prior Harm and Impunity: Successive Leaders, Entities’ Relentless Ruin of Wherewithal

Unchecked Crimes against World Peoples

The Congressional Research Service, billing itself as a “nonpartisan” voice, makes an astonishing set of statements suggesting that officials in Federal Washington and their associates have the godly right to judge the fate of nations: the right to decide what is right and wrong, to determine the means and ends of other cultures and countries; to determine the form and to mete out punishment—while themselves remaining unchecked and unchastened by the proper processes of law and justice.

“In U.S. foreign policy” (subjectively defined) “‘national security’ sanctions can include (without higher authority or consultation with nations) such measures as

• · Trade embargoes;
• · Restrictions on particular exports or imports;
• · Denial of foreign assistance, loans, and investments;
• · Blocking of foreign assets under U.S. jurisdiction;
• · Prohibition on economic transactions that involve U.S. citizens or businesses; and
• · Denial of entry into the United States”

Additionally, U.S. individuals and entities reserve to themselves the godly “right” to increase the scope of harm. Acting as judge, jury, executioner, the Americans can attack any and all relations with their targeted nations and peoples.

The CRS article suggests that United States individuals or entities “can” impose “secondary” penalizing “sanctions” on any “third parties” who disobey the masters—by engaging in what hard evidence has often shown to be essential security, economic, trade, financial, or developmental activities with nations and peoples originally “targeted” by the Americans and their partners.

Categories of US Sanctions against nations

Part of the United States Treasury Department is the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) which “manages the United States government’s sanctions and embargo programs” against world nations and peoples. In addition to countries as a whole, U.S. Department and agency targets “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDNs) and “Blocked Persons” lists.
