The List of Charges
NOSTRADAMUS
1999 PROPHESY
· A section of Nostradamus 1999 Prophecy (line
4)
A War that need not of happened
· Before ground forces deployed in Mid June is
11,334 deaths from (Clintons declaration of war) the war. Carla del Pante,
Chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia,
told the United Nations Security Council on November 10, 1999.
· We have the Terrorist-King beginning his
"wag the dog" war March 24, 1999 just how Nostradamus says. FACTS:
Bill Clinton caused Killing 11,334; most are innocent civilians. FACT: No
ground troops so errant bombs kill indiscriminately.
· May 16: Defense secretary William S Cohen
suggested an estimates " We now seen about 100,000 military-aged men
missing." This was a lie, having been ordered from the White House,
Cohen told CBS-TV's ' Face the Nation,' " They have been murdered."
· FACT: The work of forensic teams have
uncovered as of October 31, 1999 2,108 bodies, 195 graves sites, according to
the report.
· At 16 of the sites where tribunal forensic
experts were told by UN and USA government to go find the bodies; A total of
1,400 bodies were buried- investigators found NONE!
· History: The Battle of Kossovo in 1389 The
Serb Kingdom was extinguished by the Turks; from That date to early 19th
Century the country formed a Turkish pashalik. 'From Messages & Papers of
the Presidents 1899-1917'. That made this a civil war. And this was against the
founding fathers beliefs to be involved with any civil war anywhere.
The After Math of The King of Terrorist War
· The Peace keeping force says more than 135
Serbs have been killed in Kosovo since the war ended! The Serb National Council
a group that represents Kososvo Serbs but opposes Milosevic group, says the
total is at least 357 dead. The council also says another 450 were kidnapped
between the arrival of NATO- led troops in mid-June and the start of September.
· As the death toll rises, (back in 1999) so
does the number of Serbs and others fleeing Kosovo. The U.N. refugee agency
says the total is close to 240,000, have become homeless and left their homes.
Of that number 60% are children. The Beast caused this. Not the American
public.
· FACT: 11,334 deaths from the March 24, 1999
War campaign 240,000 forced from their homes.
· Summery: Nostradamus line four completely
described exactly what this Beast accomplished by War. The total destruction of
that region; All to cover up his a ledge crime for selfish reasons. caused by
the King of Terror in 1999.

B. The Charges
1. Planning and Executing the Dismemberment, Segregation
and Impoverishment of Yugoslavia.
The United States, Germany, NATO and
other defendants engaged in a course of conduct beginning in, or before 1991
intended to break the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia into many parts, segregate
different ethnic, religious and other groups among and within newly balkanized
borders, weaken the Slav, Serb, Muslim and other populations by causing and
prolonging internal violence and by direct assaults by the United States and
certain NATO members. As a consequence Yugoslavia, which had 25 million people
in an integrated society and economy, is now comprised of many small nations,
the largest of which is Serbia. Defendants intend to divide Yugoslavia until
all parts of Yugoslavia have fewer than 5 million people, each to be
overwhelmingly of a single ethnic origin and religion, to have severely
impaired economies largely dominated by foreign interests, in which two groups,
Orthodox Christian Serbs and Muslims suffer severest casualties, most extensive
property damage, a vast reduction of productivity now down by three-quarters or
more, and a generation of impoverishment.
UN Charter; Declaration on the
Inadmissibility of Intervention in the Domestic Affairs of States and the
Protection of their Independence and Sovereignty (Non Intervention Decl.), 1965
USGA Res. 2131.
2.Inflicting, Inciting and Enhancing Violence between
Muslims and Slavs.
The United States and other defendants
engaged in a course of conduct beginning in or before 1991, to cause Muslims and
Orthodox Christian Slavs to engage in protracted fratricidal violence, in wars
of attrition, similar to conflicts in Afghanistan and Chechnya between Muslims
and Russian Slavs, which caused death, destruction and division in Bosnia,
Kosovo and elsewhere between the groups and dangerous frictions and enmity
between two major enemies of the U.S., Slavic peoples and Muslims, in other
regions, weakening both. Tactics included both providing and depriving select
Muslim groups of arms to attack others, or adequately defend themselves in
Bosnia; motivating, training and supplying KLA with arms to attack Yugoslav
police and military to seize control of Kosovo during NATO occupation and
attack Serbs and others; preventing outside efforts to prevent and control the
violence; committing, causing and condoning violence against persons displaced
by U.S. and NATO bombing campaigns, and by KLA and Yugoslav police and military
ground actions; causing and supporting clashes between Yugoslav
military/police/civilian groups and KLA/paramilitary/civilian groups; condoning
and failing to prevent assaults on displaced persons returning to and persons
who remained in Kosovo, both before and after the NATO/U.S. occupation of
Kosovo. In 1999, the U.S. caused the largest numbers of deaths, injuries and
destruction by aerial and missile assaults against all elements in the
population and its life support systems.
UN Charter, Art. 2; Non Intervention
Decl.; Resolution on the Definition of Aggression (Res. on Aggression), 1997
UNGA Res. 3314.
3. Preventing and Disrupting Efforts
to Maintain Unity, Peace and Stability in Yugoslavia.
From the beginning of its efforts to
implement its plans for dismemberment and destruction of Yugoslavia, the U.S.
acted to prevent any interference, negotiation, or other efforts within
Yugoslavia, or by other nations, leaders, or individuals to prevent the
accomplishment of its intended purposes. Its techniques included political,
military and economic threats and control of highly publicized peace
negotiations much like those at Dayton, Ohio, during the Bosnia struggle, at
Rambouillet, France, in 1999, which created an appearance of earnest peace
negotiations, but offered Yugoslavia only two choices, agree to foreign
military occupation, or expect a devastating military assault.
UN Charter; Non Intervention
Declaration; Resolution on Aggression; Pact of Paris 1928, Art I and II.
4. Destroying the Peace-Making Role of the United
Nations.
The United States acted and coerced other
nations to act to block the United Nations from performing its duties under the
UN Charter to prevent conflict, control violence and maintain peace in
Yugoslavia in violation of the Charter of the UN and threatening its viability
as a international institution capable of maintaining peace and ending the
scourge of war.
UN Charter; Non Intervention Decl.;
Resolution on Aggression, Pact of Paris 1928, Art I and II.
5. Using NATO for Military Aggression
against and Occupation of Non-Compliant Poor Countries.
The United States acted and coerced other
nations to act to cause NATO to authorize direct military assaults on
Yugoslavia in violation of the UN Charter and the North Atlantic Treaty relying
overwhelmingly on U.S. weaponry and military technology and to cause NATO
members to provide and finance the majority of the military forces to occupy
Kosovo for the foreseeable future thereby employing the wealth and power of the
rich former colonial powers of Europe against the poor and defenseless people
of Yugoslavia.
United Nations Charter; North Atlantic
Treaty 1949, Art. I.
6. Killing and Injuring a Defenseless
Population throughout Yugoslavia.
Beginning on, or before March 24, 1999,
the United States, without a declaration of war by the Congress, aided and
abetted by certain NATO members, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey,
Spain and the Netherlands, as well as Hungary, Croatia, Italy and others,
commenced a war of missile and aerial bombing assaults, often indiscriminate in
its targeting, against the populations of Yugoslavia, intentionally killing and
injuring many thousands of Serbs, Albanians, Romas, Muslims, Orthodox
Christians, Roman Catholics, foreign nationals throughout Yugoslavia with
malice aforethought.
Hague, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1949,
Art. 19; Nuremberg, Principle VI a, b and c; U.S. Constitution, Art. I, Sec. 8,
cl. II.
7. Planning, Announcing and Executing
Attacks Intended to Assassinate the Head of Government, Other Government
Leaders and Selected Civilians.
The United States planned, announced and
carried out missile and aerial bombardment attacks intended to assassinate the
Head of Government of Yugoslavia, members of his family, other government
leaders and selected civilians to destroy existing government leadership and
terrorize it and its closest personal support into submission. U.N. Charter,

Geneva Conventions 1977, Protocol I Additional (Geneva 1977), Art. 48, 51.
8. Destroying and Damaging Economic,
Social, Cultural, Medical, Diplomatic and Religious Resources, Properties and
Facilities throughout Yugoslavia.
Beginning on, or before March 24, 1999,
the United States, aided and abetted by certain NATO members, including United
Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Spain and the Netherlands and others including
Croatia, Hungary and Italy, commenced a systematic missile and aerial bombing
assault on resources, properties and economic, social, cultural, medical,
diplomatic and religious facilities intentionally destroying and damaging them
throughout Yugoslavia to crush the productive, economic, social, cultural,
diplomatic and religious viability of the whole society.

12333; Geneva 1977, Art. 48, 51; ICESCR.
9. Attacking Objects Indispensable to
the Survival of the Population of Yugoslavia.
Beginning on or before March 24, 1999,
the United States, aided and abetted by others, for the specific purpose of
depriving the population of Yugoslavia of food, water, electric power, food
production, medicines, medical care and other essentials to their survival,
engaged in the systematic destruction and damage by missiles and aerial
bombardment of food production and storage facilities, drinking water and
irrigation works for agriculture, fertilizer, insecticide, pharmaceutical,
hospitals and health care facilities, among other objects essential to human
survival.

1949, Art. 19; Nuremberg 1970, Principles Via, b and c; Geneva 1977, Art. 48,
54.
10. Attacking Facilities Containing Dangerous Substances
and Forces.
The United States attacked chemical
plants and storage facilities, petroleum and natural gas refining, processing
and storage facilities, fertilizer plants and other facilities and locations
for the specific purpose of releasing and scattering toxic, radioactive and
other dangerous substances and forces into the atmosphere, soil, ground water
and food chain to poison the environment and injure the population.

and 23, Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating,
Poisonous or Other Gases, Geneva 1925 (Poisonous Substances Protocol); Geneva
1977, Protocol I Additional, Art. 48, 51, 56.
11. Using Depleted Uranium, Cluster
Bombs and Other Prohibited Weapons.
The United States used prohibited weapons
capable of mass destruction and inflicting indiscriminate death and suffering
against the population of all Yugoslavia. Despite knowledge of its deadly
long-term effect on life and warnings of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, the U.S. attacked Yugoslavia with depleted uranium missiles, bombs
and bullets. These depleted uranium weapons spread radioactive matter into the
atmosphere, soil, ground water, food chain and solid objects, placing the
Yugoslav population at risk of death, genetic damage, cancers, tumors, leukemia
and other injuries for generations. Cluster bombs were used extensively,
spraying deadly razor sharp metal shards over wide areas against hospitals,
churches, mosques, schools, apartment developments and other heavily populated
places inflicting death, injury and property damage. The use of other illegal
weapons is under continuing investigation.

Art. 48, 51, 54, 55, POONA Indictment for the Subversion of Science and
technology 1978 (POONA Indictment).
12. Waging War on the Environment.
The United States aerial and missile assault
intentionally created a widespread, long-term and severe environmental disaster
in Yugoslavia. Air pollution from overflights alone multiplied normal
impurities in the atmosphere. Thousands of tons of explosives unleashed
enormous quantities of chemicals into the air, raised clouds of dust and debris
from places hit and started fires that often raged for days. Chemical,
petrochemical, oil and gas refinery, storage and transmission facilities
purposely targeted in the vicinity of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and other major
cities exposed huge populations to dangerous and noxious pollution. Depleted
uranium scattered across Kosovo and the remainder of Serbia will threaten life
for generations.
Hague, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva 1977,
Art. 48, 51, 54, 55; Stockholm Declaration of the United Nations Conference on
the Human Environment 1972; Principles I, II, (UN Conf. on Human Environment),
et al.
13. Imposing Sanctions through the UN
that Are a Genocidal Crime against Humanity to Achieve Impoverishment and Debilitation
of the People of Yugoslavia.
The United States began an economic
attack on Yugoslavia designed to break it up politically and tear it down
economically before 1989. It caused the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to
use its strongest shock therapy to attack Yugoslav productivity, add to its
foreign debt burden and expose national wealth to foreign capital by forcing
removal of trade barriers and privatizing vital public industry, commerce,
utilities and facilities. In May 1991 U.S. Secretary of State Baker stopped all
U.S. aid programs to all six Yugoslav Republics and vetoed future IMF credits,
creating an enormous economic incentive and powerful political argument for
political opposition to Belgrade to separate other Republics from Serbia. The U.S.
forced UN sanctions against Yugoslavia, but relieved Republics that seceded
from Yugoslavia of sanctions. Such sanctions devastated the entire economy of
Yugoslavia to the degree that a normal growth rate free of U.S. coercion would
require 30 years to return Yugoslavia to its 1989 levels of productivity. Per
capita production value for all six Republics of Yugoslavia in 1989 was $6220.
Today for Serbia and Montenegro, the remaining Republics of Yugoslavia, it is
$1510. Ninety percent of all trade was among the six republics before the
break-up. All former republics have suffered economically, but Yugoslavia now,
with barely 40% of its 1990 population, including Kosovo, has had a far greater
decline economically than the favored northern Republics of Slovenia and
Croatia, which are today more overwhelmingly Roman Catholic than before their
secession. The sanctions against Yugoslavia continue and Serbia, excluding
Kosovo, is barred from receiving any planned reparations and aid to rebuild
from bomb damage and economic attrition. The sanctions have had a far more
damaging effect on life, health, the economy and the quality of life in
Yugoslavia than the military assault, increasing death rates, lowering life
expectation, reducing nutrition and health care and driving production down. As
in Iraq, and elsewhere, the sanctions are an economic crime, a crime against
humanity and genocide.
Nuremberg, Principle VI c, Crimes
Against Humanity; Genocide Convention; Geneva 1977, Art. 48, 54, 55.
14. Creating an Illegal Ad-Hoc
Criminal Tribunal to Destroy and Demonize Serb Leadership.
The United States acting through
defendant Madeleine Albright coerced the UN Security Council to create ad hoc
criminal tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda in violation of the UN Charter to
destroy and demonize enemy leaders in those two countries and threaten leaders
elsewhere. The UN Charter does not authorize creation of criminal tribunals.
The U.S. strongly opposes the International Criminal Tribunal treaty approved
by 120 nations at Rome in July 1998 and in the process of ratification by
nations now, because it does not intend to subject its leaders or military
forces to the jurisdiction of an independent international Court and the rule
of international law. By targeting individual enemies in ad hoc courts and
charging them with genocide, it achieves their isolation internationally,
pressures their own countries to remove them from power, corrupts and
politicizes justice and uses the appearance of neutral international law to
adjudicate and punish enemies as war criminals and establish itself as an
innocent champion of justice.
UN Charter, Statute of the
International Court of Justice (Statute ICJ); UDHR; ICCPR.
15. Using Controlled International
Media to Create Support for U.S. Assaults Anywhere and to Demonize Yugoslavia,
Slavs, Serbs and Muslims as Genocidal Murderers.
The United States defendants have
systematically controlled, directed, manipulated, misinformed and restricted
press and media coverage concerning Yugoslavia and the U.S. assaults on it to
gain public support for the massive bombardment of a defenseless Yugoslavia,
including Kosovo, as had been done in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and
elsewhere. The international media has supported and celebrated U.S. political
goals of further fragmentation of Yugoslavia and other areas, segregating each
region; demonizing selected government officials, other leaders, generals,
military officers and soldiers as genocidal murderers; controlling other
nations by the threat of popularly supported missile and air assaults and
crippling economic sanctions and stimulating acceptance and support from the
U.S. public for future operations against other nations and to increase
military budgets to support an expanding global role for U.S. military presence
and control.
16. Establishing the Long-term
Military Occupation of Strategic Parts of Yugoslavia by NATO Forces.
The United States has coerced defendant
NATO members and others to provide and support military occupation forces for
the occupation of Kosovo, as it did in Bosnia, in order to physically control
key parts of Yugoslavia to enforce permanent separation and segregation of
States and peoples, to further injure the populations, to create barriers to
immigration from Asia Minor, Arab states in the Middle East, North Africa, and
former southern republics of the USSR, and elsewhere; to provide a buffer
between Europe and the regions described by controlling the territory of
divided, segregated and impoverished Slavs, Serbs, Orthodox Christians,
Albanians, and others; to exploit the resources of the region; and to prepare
and condition NATO members for future participation against other nations.
UN Charter; NAT, Art. I; Non
Intervention Decl.
17. Attempting to Destroy the
Sovereignty, Right to Self Determination, Democracy and Culture of the Slavic,
Muslim, Christian and Other Peoples of Yugoslavia.
The United States has attempted to
destroy the Sovereignty of Yugoslavia, the rights of its people to self
determination, the democratic institutions it has developed and its culture
that defines the heritage, values and traditions of its people. The United
States overthrew the democratically elected Mossadegh administration in Iran in
1953, which it replaced with the Shah of Iran, who ruled absolutely for 25
years; the democratically elected Arbeny government of Guatemala, which was
followed by 40 years of brutal governments; the democratically elected Lumumba
government of the Congo in 1962, which was followed by the violent dictatorship
of Mobutu Sese Seko for 32 years; the democratically elected Allende government
of Chile, which promised health, education, social and economic justice, which
was replaced by a reign of terror and military dictatorship under General Pinochet
now sought by Spain and other nations for human rights violations. Popularly
elected leaders in Vietnam, Pakistan, the Philippines, Panama, Haiti and
elsewhere were replaced by U.S. surrogates. The U.S. has opposed, assaulted and
blockaded Cuba and its people for 40 years. The UN General Assembly voted 155
to 2 to condemn the U.S. for its blockade of Cuba in December 1998. The U.S.
has maintained repressive governments on five continents in too many countries
to name; all seeking to destroy the cultures that define the people, their
history, character, values, arts, literature, music, with commercially
exploitative products having no substantive worth and one overriding purpose —
profits from the poor. A goal of U.S. policy is to entrench the belief that
only one system works, capitalism, that only one culture has value, that of the
U.S. and western European, and that history will end with the globalization of
U.S. culture.
UDHR; ICCPR; ICESCR.
18. The Purpose of the U.S. Actions
Being to Dominate, Control and Exploit Yugoslavia, Its People and Its
Resources.
The long term purpose of all the acts
complained of is to dominate, control and exploit the poor nations of the world
and the poor people of the U.S. and other rich countries to further enrich and empower
concentrations of wealth and neutralize the whole population of poor,
overwhelmingly darker skinned people with fear, powerlessness, poverty, bread
and circus.
19. The Means of the U.S. Being
Military Power and Economic Coercion.
The United States with a near monopoly on
nuclear weapons, military aircraft, missiles, advanced armored vehicles,
firepower, equipment, and highly sophisticated technology continuously expands
its physical power to destroy, expending more on its military power than the rest
of the UN Security Council members combined. This year, U.S. military
expenditures will be near 300 billion dollars. The demonized People’s Republic
of China will spend 34 billion dollars, acquiring far less in destructive power
for each dollar. The U.S. sells more destructive arms to other governments and
groups seeking to overthrow governments than the rest of the arms selling
countries combined. Often the intention is that they "kill each
other," a preferred means of achieving domination. The U.S. does not sell
arms it cannot destroy without incurring significant casualties. The U.S. uses
its enormous economic power to coerce foreign governments to comply with its
wishes, without regard to the interests of the people of those foreign
countries. The threat of economic sanctions alone coerces countries to meet
U.S. demands contrary to their sovereignty and self-interest.
C. Relief Sought
1. Freedom for all Balkan peoples to form a federation of
their choice to provide political, civil, social, economic and cultural
independence and viability for all the peoples of the region.
2. Comprehensive efforts to create mutual
respect, common interests and bonds of friendship among and between Muslims,
Slavs and all national, ethnic and religious groups in the Balkans.
3. Strict prohibition on all forms of
foreign interference with or disruption of efforts to establish unity, peace
and stability in the Balkans.
4. Restoration of peace-making functions
of the UN and reform of the UN to make it effective.
5. The abolition of NATO.
6. Full accountability by individuals and
governments for criminal and other wrongful military assaults and economic
injustice, including sanctions inflicted on all the people of Yugoslavia, their
lives, resources, properties and environment to include criminal prosecutions
and reparations sufficient to place all the population in the condition it
would be in had it not suffered the wrongs inflicted on it, together with
resources with which to build a better future of the peoples’ choice.
7. Abolition of the illegal ad hoc
international criminal tribunal for Yugoslavia and reliance on a legal
international tribunal of worldwide non-discriminatory jurisdiction capable of
equal justice under the law.
8. Providing adequate media access to
inform the world of the human destructiveness of the use of high technology
weapons by the U.S. against poor and defenseless people and the practice of
genocide by sanctions.
9. Removing all foreign troops from the
Balkans at the earliest feasible moment and U.S. troops from NATO countries and
elsewhere immediately.
A broader range of relief and reform may be
found in Chapter 12 of The Fire This Time. It is drawn from the
experiences and recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry and the
International War Crimes Tribunal, which heard evidence in 20 countries
concerning the assault on Iraq in 1991, the continuing assaults on Iraq
thereafter and the genocidal sanctions that continue to this day.
Scope of the Inquiry
The Commission of Inquiry will focus on U.S.
criminal conduct, aided and abetted by NATO, because of the dominant U.S. role
in the military and other wrongful acts against Yugoslavia. The U.S. did not
incur a single casualty to itself while causing thousands of deaths in
Yugoslavia. The U.S. is also the focus because of the peril of continuing U.S.
conduct to all the people of Yugoslavia and the risk of aerial and missile
strikes against other nations in view of its recidivist record.
The Commission of Inquiry will seek and
accept evidence of criminal acts by any person or government, related to the
conflict, because it believes international law must be applied uniformly. It
believes that "victors’ justice" is not law, but the extension of war
by force of the prevailing party. U.S. propaganda and international media
coverage demonized Yugoslavia, its leadership, Serbs and Muslims to fit its
purposes, but rarely noticed the criminal destruction of Yugoslavia by U.S.
acts as set forth in this complaint.
Comprehensive efforts to gather and evaluate
evidence, objectively judge all the conduct that constitutes crimes against
peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity and to present these facts for
judgment to the court of world opinion requires that any serious fair effort
focus on the United States. The Commission of Inquiry believes its focus on
U.S. criminal acts is important, proper, and the only way to bring the whole
truth, a balanced perspective and impartiality in application of legal process
to this great human tragedy.
