COMMUNIST COMEDY AT THE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT

COMMUNIST-COMMEDY

Only in the dystopian political world does one overlook the irony and nonsensical nature of allowing Communist North Korea to chair the United Nations Conference on Disarmament North for even one moment, let alone four weeks.

Conference on Disarmament to Hold First Public Plenary of its 2022 Session on Tuesday, 25 January

The Conference on Disarmament, the world's single multilateral forum for disarmament negotiations, will hold the first public plenary of its 2022 session on Tuesday, 25 January, during which it will hear a statement by Tatiana Valovaya, Secretary-General of the Conference on Disarmament and Personal Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General to the Conference, and Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva.

The session will open under the presidency of China. The presidency of the Conference rotates among its Member States according to the English alphabetical order, with each President holding office for four working weeks. After China’s presidency (24 January to 18 February), the following countries will also take the presidency during 2022: Colombia (21 February to 18 March), Cuba (21 March to 1 April and 16 to 27 May), Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (30 May to 24 June), Democratic Republic of the Congo (27 June to 1 July and 1 to 19 August), and Ecuador (22 August to 16 September). The three parts of the 2022 session of the Conference will be held from 24 January to 1 April for the first part, from 16 May to 1 July for the second part, and from 1 August to 16 September for the third part.

The first plenary meeting will start at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, 25 January in room XIX. Speakers will address the meeting in person, while the public can follow the meeting on listen-live.unog.chOpens in new window.

Not only do the majority of the participating nations not possess nuclear arms or strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles, but they are also hostile to the national interests of the United States. Another reason why the corrupt, cowardly, and feckless United Nations needs to be disbanded in favor of an effective entity that fulfills its original mission to prevent genocide and mediate global conflict.

We are so screwed when we participate and fund such nonsense.

SUSSMANN: THE SWAMP WINS ANOTHER ONE OR DID IT?

This is how justice appears to work in Washington, D.C.

The jury had one job: to weigh the presented evidence and apply the law to the case – not to judge whether or not the case should have been brought.

After the verdict, the jury forewoman, who declined to give her name, spoke to the media.

“I don’t think it should have been prosecuted.”

“There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI.”

“It was the government’s job to prove it, and they succeeded in some ways and not in others.”

“We broke it down, and it did not pan out in the government’s favor.”

“Politics was not a factor.”

Jury Nullification

sussmannA jury's knowing and deliberate rejection of the evidence or refusal to apply the law either because the jury wants to send a message about some social issue that is larger than the case itself, or because the result dictated by law is contrary to the jury's sense of justice, morality, or fairness.

Jury nullification is a discretionary act, and is not a legally sanctioned function of the jury.  It is considered to be inconsistent with the jury's duty to return a verdict based solely on the law and the facts of the case.  The jury does not have a right to nullification, and counsel is not permitted to present the concept of jury nullification to the jury.  However, jury verdicts of acquittal are unassailable even where the verdict is inconsistent with the weight of the evidence and instruction of the law.

See U.S. v. Thomas, 116 F.3d 606 (2d Cir. 1997).

Michael Sussmann

Michael A. Sussmann (born 1964) is an American former federal prosecutor and a former partner at the law firm Perkins Coie, who focused on privacy and cybersecurity law. Sussmann represented the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and retained CrowdStrike to examine its servers after two Russian hacker groups penetrated DNC networks and stole information during the 2016 U.S. elections.

The Trump administration appointed John Durham as special counsel to investigate the origins of the FBI probe into links between Trump associates and Russian officials. Durham spent three years on the investigation and, in 2021, brought a single charge of making false statements against Sussmann, accusing him of having lied to the FBI in one meeting in 2016, with no witnesses. Sussman pleaded not guilty. After a jury trial in May 2022, Sussman was unanimously acquitted.

Just thinking out loud…

Considering that Special Counsel John Durham knew, before the trial, of the judge’s conflict of interests, and after voir dire, the apparent bias of several jury members and yet did nothing, suggests a decision matrix.

(1)  Special Counsel John Durham is part of the swamp and seeks to perform damage control and delay any accountability beyond the statute of limitations, typically five or seven years.

(2)  Special Counsel John Durham didn’t care about the conflicts and was willing to risk or even court jury nullification.

(3)  Special Counsel John Durham didn’t care about the Sussmann case because it was a vehicle to: one, demonstrate the corruption within the Washington, D.C. judicial environment to bolster future change of venue requests or judge recusals; two, enter sworn testimony and documentary evidence as part of an adjudicated trial for future use, and three, use the admitted evidence and testimony to further a broader case involving a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.

But could there be additional charges?

I want to consider the possibility that Special Counsel John Durham is playing the long game. However, I have found that my unjustified regard for former FBI Director James Comey, Robert Mueller, and various intelligence chiefs was misplaced over the years. So, I do not have more than “hope” that Special Counsel John Durham will do the right thing on behalf of America and its Constitution.

We are so screwed.
