Nuremberg War Trials

Ivan the Terrible, Hitler, Saddam, Stalin, and many others are historic evil figures

Nuremberg Principles

“This album shows the killers as ‘human,’ and thereby challenges our comfort level.  It forces us to ask, How is it that ‘ordinary’ people in ‘civilized’ nations can become killers and accomplices to mass murder?” –Sara Bloomfield, Museum Director, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

WARNING!  In [America’s] Black’s Law Dictionary (6th Edition) the word Sovereignty is defined as “… The power to do everything in a state without accountability,- to make laws, to execute and to apply them, to impose and collect taxes and levy contributions, to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or of commerce with foreign nations, and the like.” The key issue here is: WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY  which explains the runaway corruption upon this American Nation. “Communism is power based upon force and limited to nothing, by no kind of law and by absolutely no set rule.”  –Lenin’s Collected WorksVol. XVIII, page 361. Absolute sovereignty belongs to God only.

The Nuremberg War Trials at the end of WWII (notes from the History Channel presentation Oct 1, 2006):

It was clearly determined that “Civilization cannot tolerate them [Crimes against peace/crimes against humanity] being repeated (emphasis added).

These trials occurred to render justice to the numerous Nations and peoples adversely affected by the Nazi War machine. The Nazi War Machine plundered material wealth, and plundered the economies of otherwise peaceful nations.  The war also caused the destruction of cultural heritage.

When asked about the blame behind causing the war, politicians blamed soldiers, and soldiers blamed politicians– both of which were “only doing their duty.”

The Nazi (German) Officers who were subdued were forced to give account for their actions. The High German Officials responsible for the war were charged with “war of aggression-” bending the minds of children and perpetrating crimes against humanity.  Some either committed suicide prior to the trials as did Adolf Hitler, or those Officials who were apprehended and put on trial gave pleas of “not guilty” as if they were not doing anything wrong. Despite the “not guilty” pleas, most were hung or executed by firing squad.

Those who pulled the strings that led to war was not acceptable. It is precisely this situation that the U.S. chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trial, Robert Jackson, had in mind when he said in his opening speech on November 21, 1945:
“Let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, the law, if it is to serve a useful purpose, must condemn aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression by those in power against the rights of their own people only when we make all men answerable to the law.”

A SERIOUS ETERNAL REBUKE

It is written:

Why does the wicked man revile God?  Why does he say to himself, ‘He won’t call me to account’?”  -Psalm 10:13

  “The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming,” -Psalm 37:12, 13 

“The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.  They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  He who has ears, let him hear.” -Matthew 13:41-43

“Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?” Ezekiel 18:23

“But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.”  -Mark 3:29
