It’s been brought to my attention that the reasons WHY the USA is an Outlaw relative to International and its own Domestic Law isn’t clear enough. First we’ll begin with the UN Charter:
Article 2
The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.
The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.
All Members shall give the United Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the present Charter and shall refrain from giving assistance to any state against which the United Nations is taking preventive or enforcement action.
The Organization shall ensure that states which are not Members of the United Nations act in accordance with these Principles so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and security.
Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll.
The most common violation is interference in the internal/domestic affairs of member nations. Most grievous is violation of Article 4. Upon the Charter’s entering into legal force on 24 October 1945, the USA was in the process of interfering in the domestic affairs of the USSR and numerous other member nations. It was also providing aid to known Nazi elements in Soviet Ukraine and aiding known Nazi War Criminals to escape justice for the crimes they committed. As such, the USA was also in violation of Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5. Those violations continued unabated and others were added as time moved forward.
In relation to the USA violating its own Domestic Law of the Land, the 1787 Constitution, what’s known as the Supremacy Clause—Article VI, Clause 2—makes it mandatory that any ratified treaty becomes incorporated into the Law of the Land:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The UN Charter is a treaty signed by President Truman and ratified by the Senate on 28 July 1945 by a vote of 89-2. Thus, the UN Charter is part of the US Constitution. Upon ratification, Truman said: “The action of the Senate substantially advances the cause of world peace.” The actual truth as he spoke those words was the USA was already involved in aiding the OUN—Ukrainian Nazis—and helping Nazi war Criminals avoid being caught by helping them escape to the USA, Canada, and many South American nations, which were violations of their domestic affairs by introducing the grossest of criminal elements into their societies which enabled Nazism to remain alive and terrorize today’s world.
The actions of the United States before, during and after the legal founding of the UN Charter have made it an international outlaw and violator of its own Law of the Land, which every President swears to defend and uphold and is its primary job as Chief Magistrate. That such illegality is allowed to continue unabated makes the Outlaw US Empire a serial lawbreaker of the worst sort when we look at the millions of people its killed and displaced in its criminal behavior. Yet millions of US citizens, including members of Congress, the Executive, the Military, appear to be 100% ignorant of the fact that they abet an international serial criminal of the worst sort.
The evidence for US lawbreaking is present within the US government’s own archives and has been subjected to Congressional inquiry; yet, such inquiry avoided the conclusion that the US government is a serial lawbreaker needing serious remediation and constant monitoring of its behavior along with the elimination of the institutions responsible for the lawbreaking.

Thank you Karl. Perhaps this is the reason behind the occasional not so subtle hints that the USA might walk away from the UN. I am not sure they will actually do that but first they will rely on the 'judicial activism' of the supreme court (if I can use that term in the US case) to reject the notion that the UN treaty binds the US constitution. We are talking about a nation that excels in calling black as white and vice versa. You have made the case really well and I trust some brave souls in South America seek compensation at the ICJ for repeated breaches of the UN Charter by the outlaw USA.
I wont be waiting for Tulsi Haggard to start up on behalf of Hawaii.
While Karl is enjoying the good clean family fun I might pose a burning question. I was being entertained by shipping news from Sal at what's going on with shipping

It crossed my mind that insurance is likely hedged with collateralized debt obligations and this Baltimore bridge disaster is one humungous financial loss for the USA (at least) when one considers the ramifications for supply chain cost blowouts. I don't really have a deep knowledge of finance capitalism but I do know that all manner of debt obligations get bundled up and reincarnated as 'securities' and sold to suckers (like Baltimore bridges) then eventually a 2008 event comes along. So what is the state of play? Is Sal correct and some form of 'Titanic limitation' likely to be invoked to fix a limit or even an escape clause for insurance contracts. Would any merchant of Venice even tolerate such an escape.
Watch the video and perhaps Karl might invite some commentary from comrades Michael Hudson and associates. The outlaw US empire seems to have hit a wall in Baltimore. No pun intended ;))
