Could Nuremberg-type trials be held to prosecute Covid ‘criminals?’

Sadly, probably not. My Reasons this swamp-draining scenario almost certainly won’t happen.

Would a President DeSantis be more likely to push for serious tribunals?

If you peruse reader comments at alternative media sites, you’ll quickly find numerous posts where readers lobby for a Nuremberg-type tribunal to prosecute the key figures and organizations who perpetrated “crimes against humanity” in our Covid times.

However, the probability such tribunals will ever be held is probably close to zero.

For starters,  a Nuremberg-type tribunal would have to involve prosecutors and investigators from at least several leading nations, including the U.S.  This means presidents, prime ministers  and a majority of legislators from a variety of governments would first have to push for such tribunals. It’s almost impossible to envision a scenario where this would occur, probably because of Reason No. 2 …

If such trials were held - and were led by honest, talented and truth-seeking prosecutors and investigators - the facts that would emerge would reveal corruption, malfeasance, cover-ups, deceit, fraud and crimes on a scale so epic - crimes committed by perpetrators so callous and brazen - that even many of the most zealous vaccine supporters would be left aghast.

It’s certainly possible the masses might wake up from their stupor and realize their benevolent and infallible leaders might actually be evil (and/or clueless).

Indeed, Average Joes and Average Karens might find the nearest barn, grab all available pitch forks, and march on their nearest Capitol. It might turn out that the greatest risk to “national security” comes from our nation’s own citizens uttering two words: “Enough already.”

Rulers probably aren’t too worried ….

My guess is that the powers behind the curtain aren’t losing much sleep over this scenario. Their peaceful sleep is explained by the fact that for decades they’ve steadily captured any and every organization that might expose their true nature.

Another reason no Covid-type tribunal is likely to ever occur is that our rulers have yet to fully implement their true Statist agendas. This means the “Powers that Be” must, above all else, remain in power.

If legitimate, the results of Covid tribunals could actually “drain the swamp.” Potentially every leader in government who helped perpetrate “crimes against humanity” would be in peril. The same goes for the Sycophant and Crony Classes presiding at the top of the organizational charts of hundreds of organizations outside of government.

That is, the Green New Deal, digital currency, “social credit” passports (already tested via vaccine passports) and all their other radical initiatives would almost certainly NOT be implemented.

A key question regarding a hypothetical Covid Tribunal would be where prosecutors stopped their indictments. It’s a given that top policy architects like Fauci, Birx and Collins would get the most headlines. But what about the Big Pharma executives, and all the colleges that made their students get vaccinated? What about the governors and mayors who shut down businesses, churches and kept family members from visiting sick and scared loves in hospitals and nursing homes?  And so on and so on.

The main charge would be ‘crimes against humanity’

One of the novel features of the original Nuremberg trials was that organizers created a new crime - “Crimes Against Humanity.”

According to Wikipedia, “Crimes against humanity are certain acts that are purposefully committed by a state, or on behalf of a state, as part of a widespread or systematic policy, typically directed against civilians, in times of war or peace.

“… They are not isolated or sporadic events but are part either of a government policy … or of a wide practice of atrocities tolerated or condoned by a government or a de facto authority. “

Another novel development at the original Nuremberg trials is that that prosecutors indicted certain organizations (like the SS). Prosecutors could expose toxic organizations without condemning the entire population. The precedent - go after cancerous organizations that have rotten cultures - would also seem to apply in our Covid times.

I’m sure most “experts” would say that Covid policies/mandates do not constitute “crimes against humanity.” Indeed, the argument would be that government policies “saved millions of lives.” (I’d like to see defense lawyers prove that one).

At the original Nuremberg Tribunal, at least 10 defendants were convicted and executed. However, none of those convicted criminals had million-dollar book deals awaiting them and were in line to be feted on the speaker circuit. So if Anthony Fauci was identified as Defendant One, prosecutors might be seeking the death penalty for one of the most popular men in America.

Certainly, EVERY elected Democrat in America would fight to stop any kind of narrative-exploding and truth-revealing Covid tribunal. So too would EVERY mainstream news organization. After all, if the truth was revealed, the “watchdog” Fourth Estate would also be thoroughly discredited (or so one would hope).

Will Republican legislators do the job Democrats did not?

Whether such a tribunal is held could hinge on the priorities set by the elected leadership of the Republican Party and whether the Republicans take back control of both houses of Congress in the upcoming mid-term election. Alas, this probably  won’t happen even if Republicans prevail in a few weeks.

By my count, a grand total of two Republican U.S. Senators (Ron Johnson and Rand Paul) have consistently trumpeted their belief our government should play a prominent role in exposing Covid atrocities. (The fact Democrats have pumped more than $64 million into defeating Sen. Johnson in his re-election campaign probably tells us how much the Establishment fears this particular senator).

In the House, there might be a handful of Republican members who’ve consistently criticized the government response to Covid and demanded accountability.

In September, the Republican leaders rolled out their “Commitment to America,”  a sequel to Newt Gingrich’s famous “Contract with America” from 1984.

In researching this story, I read several articles about this proposal, which highlights the areas that Republicans will focus on if they regain control of the House. In these articles, I could’t find a single reference to holding “accountable” the people and agencies in government who, with their Covid policies, did more in two years to destroy the country than any government actors in U.S. history.

Instead, the document focusses on issues like inflation, the economy, protecting the border, energy independence, fighting crime, etc. These are all important and legitimate issues, but all pale in comparison to government and corporate activities that resulted in millions* of unnecessary deaths, tanked the economy, helped create rampant inflation and basically flushed trillions of tax-payer dollars down the toilet. (See Reader Comments for my summary of the unnecessary and preventable deaths likely caused by the policies of our leaders).

If Republicans do take back control of the House and Senate, are they going to act like Covid “crimes against humanity” didn’t happen? Should any of the guilty be punished? Should we at least try to find a few truths that three years into the pandemic have yet to be investigated by any committee of Congress?

Sen. Ron Johnson is unlikely to back down, but first he has to get re-elected.

The best people like myself can probably hope for is that Sen. Johnson is re-elected, the Republicans take back control of the Senate and Sen. Johnson gets to preside over a Committee that will examine everything every government health agency did and didn’t do during Covid.

If Mitch McConnell gives Sen. Johnson an adequate budget and enough investigators to pursue charges against people skilled at evading responsibility, the public might belatedly learn what a disaster our nation’s response to Covid really was. We might even learn if rogue elements of our own government and our own tax-payer dollars helped create this novel virus in the first place. We might learn why, and to what extent, our own “mad scientists” were partnering with the “mad scientists” of …. communist China.

I think Sen. Johnson is sincere in his pledge to perform Congress’s vital oversight and accountability role. Gov. Ron DeSantis is the other politician whose critical-thinking ability and willingness to challenge powerful forces has made him a hero to many Americans. Indeed, it’s very possible Gov. DeSantis’s contrarian approach to Covid policies will propel him to the White House.

The tag-team effort of President DeSantis and Sen. Johnson might allow our government to partially redeem itself by actually investigating itself.

Is the truth too toxic to expose?

But even I acknowledge that President DeSantis would be in a tough spot. If he pushes for and gets a real fact-finding hearing, the public would learn some of those truths many people “can’t handle.” Assuming the public wouldn’t shrug its shoulders at millions of unnecessary deaths and medical and economic injuries, the fallout might be seismic.

Would President DeSantis - or the leadership of the Senate, risk incurring this fallout by going ahead with those Hearings?

The other side of the debate is that the swamp has to be fully drained sometime. If it’s not, the country’s long-term future is going to be increasingly bleak, perhaps heading toward Dystopia.

Would the Republicans in the Senate be principled enough to defend the Constitution and perform their most important job - informing the citizens of this country that important figures and organizations in our country have gone way off the tracks?

Maybe, as they are prone to do, the politicians would try to act like they were doing something but their actions would have no bite.  Perhaps some token Hearings would be held, but they won’t be all -encompassing like the Nuremberg tribunal. The focus will be narrow; any justice dispensed will be an insult compared to the staggering scale of the crimes. That is, the Bad Guys will skate ….  not because they’re innocent but because the Powers that Be aren’t going to allow any tribunal to threaten their power.

P.S./UPDATE: I should have at least mentioned another obvious reasons such “hearings” or Nuremberg-type tribunals will not be held: Big Pharma “owns” both political parties.
