Support the call for a second ‘Nuremberg’ Tribunal
Thank you for registering your interest in the International Alliance for Health, Peace and Social Justice and welcome to our first newsletter!
A global movement, our aim is to create a healthy, peaceful and just world by uniting people from all nations, cultures, races and creeds in a common effort to achieve these goals.
As we describe on our website, we believe that the greatest obstacles to a healthy, peaceful and just world are the vested company interest groups - most particularly the petrochemical and pharmaceutical drug cartel - that regard this planet as their property and us, its inhabitants, as their market place. In addition, however, the political leaders in many countries are effectively little more than agents acting for these interest groups. While promising to put an end to unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, epidemics and the destitution of millions of people, they simultaneously sacrifice people's fundamental rights for the benefit of the global multinationals.
The recent victory of Barack Obama and the movement of change in the US elections threatens not only this global status quo but also its primary economic base - namely, the petrochemical and pharmaceutical drug cartel. As a result, the sympathy and hope that now unites millions of people with President Obama potentially poses an even greater threat to this cartel: the possibility of a global domino effect wherein the people of the world begin to stand up together to challenge it and demand change.
Because of the world-changing potential of this possibility, we would like to draw your attention to a new and important initiative, the call for a second 'Nuremberg' Tribunal, which aims to bring an end to the pharmaceutical drug cartel as soon as possible.

The original Nuremberg Tribunal was part of the US and other Allied governments' efforts to determine the responsibility for WWII and bring to account those who committed crimes against humanity. Between 1945 and 1948 several of these trials were held in the Palace of Justice in the German city of Nuremberg, the most important of which was the case against the oil and drug cartel, IG Farben. The executives of this cartel, according to the chief US prosecutor, Telford Taylor, were the main war criminals - without whom WWII would not have been possible.
However, whilst the original Tribunal brought the IG Farben cartel to account it was only partially successful in ending its crimes. Within only a few years after the trials were completed, the roots of the drug cartel were quickly re-established. Since then, the deceptive marketing of expensive, often deadly pharmaceutical drugs has led to the creation of multi-billion dollar markets based on the expansion, rather than elimination of, diseases. As such, whilst portraying itself as offering solutions to the world's major endemic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry thrives on the exploitation of diseases for profit. Worse still, the industry also ignores, hides and obstructs effective, safe and scientifically proven natural therapies that are capable of largely eradicating the world's major endemic diseases.
The call for a second 'Nuremberg' Tribunal therefore aims to ensure that the crimes of the pharmaceutical drug cartel are finally ended once and for all. Please support it by bringing it to the attention of as many people as you can.
Our upcoming newsletters will keep you in touch with the latest developments on all of our initiatives and those of our affiliates, as well as provide you with updates and analysis of the key news stories from around the world.
