Videos

Collateral Murder - Short Version Wikileaks - Iraq. This video released April 5, 2010 by WikiLeaks.org comes from a US military video depicting the July 12, 2007, indiscriminate, unprovoked slaying of over a dozen people by Apache helicopter in a suburb of Bagdad. Those killed included two Reuters' news staff personnel. Two young children sitting in the front seat of a van being used as an ambulance in attempts to pick up the injured were also seriously wounded by shots from one of the Apache's. The U. S. military covered up the incident and blocked Reuters’ attempts to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act. For an overview of the attacks, a time line, the full 34 minutes version of the video, evidence of the U.S. cover up and additional information go to http://www.collateralmurder.com

Charles Ferguson won an Oscar for directing "Inside Job", the first film to expose the corruption behind the economic crisis of 2008. He famously began his acceptance remarks at the Academy Awards with "Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong." The DVD can be purchased at http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Job-Matt-Damon/dp/B0041KKYBA

David Swanson website  WarIsACrime.org. has a myriad of tools and books to help with prosecutions, WAR IS A LIE thoroughly refutes every major argument used to justify wars, drawing on evidence from numerous past wars, with a focus on those wars that have been most widely defended as just and good. This is a handbook of sorts, a manual to be used in debunking future lies before future wars have a chance to begin.

 
David’s book: “WHEN THE WORLD OUTLAWED WAR,” a masterful account of how people in the United States and around the world worked to abolish war as a legitimate act of state policy. They won in 1928, outlawing war with a treaty that is still on the books. Swanson's account of the successful work of those who came before us to insist that war be outlawed points us toward new ways of thinking about both war and political activism.

David is also the author of "DAYBREAK: UNDOING THE IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY AND FORMING A MORE PERFECT UNION” and “THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AT 50"

Greetings:

Thanks for visiting ProsecuteOfficials.org.

This web site briefly outlines and provides the table of contents for the non-partisan Draft Plan to Humanely and Privately (Not Secretly) Prosecute Lawbreaker with Restorative Justice Oportunities for both Victims and Law Breakers

Draft Plan to Humanely and Privately (Not Secretly) Prosecute Lawbreakers With Restorative Justice Opportunities For Both Victims and Lawbreakers

This plan provides strategies, procedures and sample documents to initiate and follow through with humane, private prosecutions of civil and military officials, legislators, judges, corporation executives and others who have broken the law and to encourage/convince them to provide appropriate restitution to victims, be apologetic and contrite and mend their ways. These procedures use humane, constitutional, private, rehabilitation, reconciliation and restorative justice, principles and practices described in the Plan to Reform Criminal Justice Systems Using Humane, Constitutional and Restorative Justice Principles and Practices, outlined in www.HumaneJustice.org. These practices will help heal/restore both the victims and perpetrators of crimes. The idea is to use these principles and practices beginning as soon as possible in each case and during all phases of the prosecution and rehabilitation.

This Plan, item number twenty three and a key element of Attachment A: The Common Agenda of the Universal, Common Strategic Plan for a Peaceful, Prosperous, Just World:

Numerous official reports, books and articles describe the horrors, wastefulness and illegality of U.S. wars, assassinations, drone attacks, torture and abuse of detainees and massive financial crimes. Yet after over ten years of these atricities and despite numerous petitions, phone calls, demonstrations and now “occupations”, not one high-ranking official that authorized and planned these illegal acts have indicted and not one survivor of U.S. torture has succeeded in holding these officials accountable in a U.S. court for torture.

Not only has the government not prosecuted any high level officials, it is subsidizing crimes and paying for foreclosures. 

The supposed $26 billion settlement between the federal government and 49 state attorney generals with major banks to address their criminal fraud, robo signing and changing income and job history on mortgage applications without the applicants knowledge actually became mostly a bailout of the large banks.

Instead of making them pay the price for their actions, our public servants have given, loaned or guaranteed Wall Street over $37 trillion while every day Americans are still struggling to make ends meet.

By pushing bad loans and peddling risky mortgage-backed securities as safe investments, these banks aided by our public servants have cost the world economy at least $7.7 trillion. Their widespread fraud and corruption also cost millions of hardworking Americans their jobs, their homes, and their shot at the American Dream.

Charles Ferguson, Director of the Oscar winning documentary “Inside Job” and Author of “Predator Nation,” in a Huffington Post Article, describes the ingrained criminality of the financial sector:

It is no exaggeration to say that since the 1980s, much of the American (and global) financial sector has become criminalized, creating an industry culture that tolerates or even encourages systematic fraud. The behavior that caused the mortgage bubble and financial crisis was a natural outcome and continuation of this pattern, rather than some kind of economic accident.

Our public servants have not provided any meaningful responses to numerous petitions, letters, and requests for investigations, hearings, impeachments and special prosecutors to investigate and prosecute these crimes.

Refining and executing this plan will turn this around by helping to coordinate the efforts of the many individuals and organizations working on this and by providing strategies, procedures and sample documents to initiate and follow through with humane, private (not secret), prosecutions of civilian and military officials, legislators, judges, corporation executives and others who have broken the law and encourage/convince them to provide appropriate restitution to victims, be apologetic, contrite and mend their ways.
It supplies a frame work for those interested to list additional ideas, problems and solutions and work with others to accomplish the solutions.

These prosecutions use the humane, constitutional, private, restorative justice, rehabilitation and reconciliation principles and practices which can help heal/restore both victims and/ perpetrators of crime and be used at local, state, federal and international levels.

This plan will also help ensure that the rule of law is equally enforced, educate our public servants and the public on criminal justice procedures, restorative justice, the UCMJ and civil rights and lead perpetrators of crimes to understand the damages, suffering and misery that their crimes have caused.

These interested organizations and individuals are requested to work together, form an oversight board for this plan, and add everything that needs to be done to it. Recommendations can be made and items added by going to emailing Fisher@wethepeoplenow.org or faxing 703-521-0849.
