United States is preparing to launch a 3rd war of aggression against another oil rich country.

The United States is preparing for an invasion of Libya.  The CIA is already on the ground recruiting and arming rebel forces.   Canadian minority Prime Mister Stephen Harper is providing military support for the 3rd of 7 wars of aggression by the United States.   The Canadian navy frigate HMCS Charlottetown, along with its Sea King helicopter will join the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and the USS Kearsarge, an amphibious assault ship with more than 700 marines aboard.   The United States is planning on using a civil war in Libya as an excuse to invade.

In a previous article titled Ten days after 9/11 the U.S. government had already decided to attack Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan & Iran. General Wesley Clark. Retired 4-star U.S. Army general, Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the 1999 War on Yugoslavia revealed the United States government’s intent on invading 7 countries in the oil rich Middle East.  Iraq was the 1st country to become a victim of the United States wars of aggression.  Wesley Clark revealed “how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”  Clark specifically names Libya as one of the 7 countries that will be attacked without provocation by the United States.

With the addition of the Canadian frigate HMCS Charlottetown Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper and Defense Minister Peter MacKay have willingly participated in yet another war of aggression against a foreign sovereign state.  Both will be guilty of war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

A crime against peace, in international law, refers to “planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of wars of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing”  A war of aggression is a military conflict waged without the justification of self-defense usually for territorial gain and subjugation.  At the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, the chief American prosecutor, Robert H. Jackson, stated:

To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.

In 1950, the Nuremberg Tribunal defined Crimes against Peace, in Principle VI, specifically Principle VI(a), submitted to the United Nations General Assembly, as:

(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).

The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court refers to the crime of aggression as one of the “most serious crimes of concern to the international community”, and provides that the crime falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Before the United States attacked Afghanistan they claimed to have the right to attack according to Article 51 of the UN Charter.   According to the United States government Article 51 allowed the United States to attack Afghanistan because Article 51 states;  “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations.”  According to the United States government Afghanistan was involved in an armed attack against the United States on September 11, 2001.  However, according to the evidence there were absolutely no Afghan citizens, diplomats or military personnel involved in the attacks on 9/11.  Afghanistan did not attack the U.S. on 9/11, not prior to September 11, 2001 and not since that infamous date.  Libya has not attacked the U.S. or Canada.  Libya has not made any armed attack threats against the U.S. or Canada.  Libya is in the midst of a revolution, a civil war.  The moment the U.S. and Canada fire upon or sends troops ashore in Libya a war of aggression is being committed by the U.S. and Canada.  With the first shot, by either Libyan forces or U.S. forces, both the U.S. and Canadian government will have committed war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

Why is the United States going to attack Libya?  For humanitarian reasons?  To oust Gaddafi?  The real reason is the same as Afghanistan and Iraq – oil.  The United States’ 1st war of aggression was to take control of a Trans-Afghan natural gas pipeline that will carrying natural gas from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.   The United States’ 2nd war of aggression was to take control of Iraq’s oil reserves.  The 3rd U.S. war of aggression is being prepared now to take control of the oil reserves in Libya, the largest in Africa and the ninth largest in the world with 41.5 billion barrels as of 2007.

Why is the Canadian government assisting the U.S. in preparing for yet another war of aggression, crime against peace and inevitable crime against humanity? It most certainly doesn’t have anything to do with humanitarian reasons.  “Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society,”Stephen Harper  said in a 1999 interview with Terry O’Neill of BC Report newsmagazine.“ It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.” He went on to complain about the “bastardization” of the entire concept of rights in modern society.  The sole reason for Stephen Harper committing Canada to another war of aggression, another crime against peace and another crime against humanity is the same as the United States – OIL.

Several major Canadian companies have major economic interests in Libya. Calgary-based oil and gas company Suncor draws about 50,000 barrels of oil daily in Libya, representing about nine per cent of the company’s annual production.  Suncor has a $3.5-billion investment in Libya’s oil fields.  Calgary-based oil company Sonde Resources is working with Joint Oil, a company owned by Libya and Tunisia, to develop 768,000 gross undeveloped acres of potential oilfields off the coast of Tunisia and Libya.
