This self evident lesson is never stated by our elite. This lawyer failure is in the service of the lawyer employer, the elites. This failure causes the deaths of millions of people, and $trillions in the destruction of infrastruture. This failure permits wars and democides with impunity for a small group of people. They usual greatly profit from war and from democide. Laws and rules prohibit the targeting of civilians in war. Exceptions must be added to these catastrophic rules. When people do not recognize the humanity of a group, scapegoat them falsely, and declare an intent to get rid of them, pre-emptive self defense is morally justified and mandatory. Naturally, the result of these orders is the mass slaughter of working class people of both sides. None has any beef with the other side, and most just want to go home.
This doctrine coincidentally generates income for the manufactuers of war products and services. A small elite protects the elites of the enemy, and makes $billions. Millions of military personnel are employed in government make work jobs.
Could the Jews of Nazi Germany have taken on the Wermacht (German military) to defend themselves? Obviously, no. They did not have to. Their could have tried to decapitate the Nazi hierarchy, instead. The civiliam Nazi hierarchy was a softer and more accessible target. Obviously, the earlier this defense is started, the more likely it is to succeed. Today's technology provides better tools for locating them, and for dispatching them cheaply. No one is learning this biggest lesson of the Holocaust.
A few Nazi officals were hanged at the Nuremberg trials. The families that funded the election of the Nazis remained untouchable. They made $millions from Nazi contracts, after donating to the campaign of Hitler. They escaped any accountability after the war. They were recruited by the Allies after the war to rebuild the economy of Germany. These elites made even more $millions under the Allies than under the Nazis.
Here's an expanded list of financial contributors to Hitler's rise to power:
Industrialists:
1. Alfried Krupp (Krupp AG)
2. Friedrich Flick (Flick Group)
3. Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach (Krupp AG)
4. Fritz Thyssen (Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG)
5. Emil Kirdorf (Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG)
6. Hugo Stinnes (Stinnes AG)
7. Ernst von Borsig (Borsig AG)
8. Walther Funk (IG Farben)
9. Carl Bosch (IG Farben)
10. Georg von Schnitzler (IG Farben)
Bankers:
1. Hjalmar Schacht (Reichsbank President)
2. Emil Johann Wittenberg (Deutsche Bank)
3. Oswald Rosler (Dresdner Bank)
4. Karl Rasche (Dresdner Bank)
5. Hermann Abs (Deutsche Bank)
Landowners:
1. Prince Franz von Hohenzollern (Hohenzollern family)
2. Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Ernest III, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld)
3. Prince von Maltzan (Maltzan family)
4. Count von Galen (Galen family)
5. Baron von Thyssen-Bornemisza (Thyssen-Bornemisza family)
American Families with Ties to Nazi Germany:
(Note: Some American families had business or personal connections with Nazi Germany, but not all supported Hitler's ideology.)
1. Ford Family (Henry Ford): Ford Motor Company had business ties with Nazi Germany.
2. DuPont Family (Éleuthère Paul du Pont): DuPont had business connections with IG Farben.
3. Rockefeller Family (John D. Rockefeller Jr.): Standard Oil had business ties with Nazi Germany.
4. Harriman Family (Averell Harriman): Union Banking Corporation had ties to Nazi Germany.
5. Bush Family (Prescott Bush): Union Banking Corporation had ties to Nazi Germany.
These are the people who propel wars and democides. From a utilitarian viewpoint, they should be the very first casualties of war and of planned democides. Give them notice. Attack the families. Then eradicate the persons. The hierachy consists of the entire families, targeted for kidnapping and for assassination:
Political leaders
Financiers
Top propagandists
Intellectuals providing justification for the democide
Religious leaders
Organizers and executive officials
Instead of being hanged, this elite was recruited by the Allies to rebuild the German economy and became even wealthier than under the Nazis government contract and plunder.
After World War II, the Allies, particularly the United States, recruited several prominent German families and individuals to help rebuild the German economy. Some of these families had previously supported the Nazi regime, while others had maintained neutral or even anti-Nazi stances.
Families Recruited by the Allies:
1. Krupp Family: Alfried Krupp, son of Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, was recruited to rebuild the family's industrial empire.
2. Thyssen Family: Fritz Thyssen's son, Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, was involved in post-war German politics and business.
3. Flick Family: Friedrich Flick's son, Rudolf Flick, continued the family's business interests.
4. Borsig Family: Ernst von Borsig's son, Ernst Jr., helped rebuild the family's engineering company.
5. Deutsche Bank's Hermann Abs: Abs, a prominent banker, became a key figure in post-war German finance.
6. Hamburg-American Line's Ballin Family: The Ballin family, owners of the Hamburg-American Line shipping company, were recruited to rebuild Germany's maritime industry.
7. Siemens Family: The Siemens family, owners of the electronics company, continued to play a significant role in post-war German industry.
Individuals Recruited by the Allies:
1. Ludwig Erhard: Economist and future German Chancellor, Erhard was instrumental in shaping Germany's post-war economic policy.
2. Konrad Adenauer: The first Chancellor of West Germany, Adenauer was a key figure in rebuilding the country.
3. Otto Wolff von Amerongen: A German industrialist and politician, Wolff von Amerongen helped rebuild Germany's economy.
4. Karl Blessing: A German economist and politician, Blessing served as Minister of Economics in the 1950s.
American Organizations Involved in Recruitment:
1. Office of Strategic Services (OSS): Precursor to the CIA, OSS recruited German experts for post-war reconstruction.
2. U.S. Military Government: The U.S. military government in Germany played a significant role in recruiting and working with German families and individuals.
3. European Recovery Program (ERP): Also known as the Marshall Plan, ERP provided economic assistance to war-torn Europe.
Their families should be the first targets. That allows the hierarchy to change its decisions. The same is justified by utilitarianism for all military conflict. It is an alternative to industrial grade slaughter of military people who come from the class of working people. The selection of the targets should follow a validated investigation, and evidence meeting standards of criminal prosecution.
These rules prohibiting such targeting.
These rules must be modified with the above exceptions.
1. Geneva Conventions (1949) and Additional Protocols (1977 and 2005): Specifically, Protocol I, Article 51(2) and Protocol II, Article 13(2) prohibit attacks on civilians and civilian objects.
2. Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907): Article 25 of the 1907 Hague Convention IV prohibits attacks on undefended towns, villages, and buildings.
3. Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (2002): Article 8(2)(b)(i) and (iv) criminalize intentionally directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects.
4. United Nations Charter (1945): Article 2(4) prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, which implies protection for civilians.
5. Customary International Humanitarian Law (CIHL): Rule 1 prohibits the targeting of civilians, and Rule 7 prohibits attacks on civilian objects.
6. International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Guidelines: The ICRC's Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law (2009) emphasizes the protection of civilians.
The United States has its own regulations.
1. War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. § 2441): Makes it a federal offense to commit war crimes, including intentionally targeting civilians.
2. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 118: Prohibits murder, including the killing of civilians.
3. UCMJ Article 119: Prohibits manslaughter, including the killing of civilians.
4. UCMJ Article 137: Prohibits conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, including targeting civilians.
5. Geneva Conventions Act (18 U.S.C. § 2241): Implements the Geneva Conventions in US law, prohibiting attacks on civilians.
6. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (implemented through Executive Order 12633): Prohibits attacks on civilians.
7. US Department of Defense Law of War Manual (2015): Emphasizes the protection of civilians and prohibits attacks on them.
8. US Army Field Manual 27-10, The Law of Land Warfare (1956): Prohibits attacks on civilians.
Basically, in the US, only an executive order stands between ending catastrophic wars by targeting civilian leaders.
Ford Executive Order 11905, issued on February 18, 1976, by President Gerald R. Ford. This executive order prohibited the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination.
Specifically, Section 5(g) of the order states:
"No employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination."
Ford's executive order was later reinforced by Executive Order 12036, issued by President Jimmy Carter on January 24, 1978, which reiterated the ban on assassinations.
Subsequent executive orders, including Executive Order 12333, issued by President Ronald Reagan on December 4, 1981, have continued to prohibit the targeting of foreign leaders, including civilians, for assassination.
A future president can modify these orders, by including the exception of self defense.
The argument against this military doctrine is that they can it do to us. The reply is, yea, so. Let war starters and democide promoters live like hunted pray. They are doing it for profit. Let the risk of being the first target of war be included in their gambling with the lives and money of our own citizens.
AI opposes this military target. Of course, AI is biased in favor the financiers that would profit from war and from democide. It cites the example of Quadaffi and of Saddam Hussein. Both were targeted by foreign invaders. The result of their eliminations were unclear about any advantage to the invaders.
