Does International Law Promote Peace Or War?
On October 24, 1648, the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, Spain, France, several German principalities, etc. signed what became known as the Treaty of Westphalia, or the Peace of Westphalia, ending thirty years of war among European sovereigns, ostensibly about whether the Roman Catholic Church or the several reformed churches should be practiced or forbidden, but actually about the prerogatives of political sovereignty. Though the sovereigns continued to disagree about church matters, they agreed completely that their rule would be absolute in the places they controlled. This meant that they recognized neither any temporal power nor any moral or spiritual authority over them. And that in turn meant that, in their relations among themselves, they would respect each other’s sovereignty by not interfering in each other’s internal affairs. That is what made peace more likely than before. But they also promised to be bound—or rather they promised that they would promise to bind themselves—only by such promises as they might make, explicitly, in writing. In short, by treaties. And, secondarily, by custom. The one and only operative principle being that “pacta sunt servanda.” Treaties are to be observed. That was international law. And it so remains, insofar as the principle of sovereignty is invoked and forcibly sustained.

Nothing like this has ever happened in modern American journalism. There’s been incessant bias, sure. Events and stories have been ignored, of course. There have been loads of smears. We were just subjected to four years of Russian “collusion” fabulism. But now, most of the institutional media is openly colluding — and pressuring Big Tech — to suppress a story that might damage their chosen presidential candidate. Journalists have become our censors. That’s definitely new. Those working to black out and discredit the New York Post’s scoop regarding emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop keep asserting that they’re unable to verify the information. Anything that hurts Joe Biden is a “dangerous distraction” foisted on the American people by nefarious Russians. For many in the press, it’s not about investigating the alleged abuses of the powerful. It’s about getting Democrats elected.

Judicial Watch has released a comparison study of Census Bureau population statistics and state voter registration data to reveal a notable disparity. The watch dog group is now warning of potential voter fraud and “dirty” voter rolls. The study found that 352 U.S. counties in 29 states managed to have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. “In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont,” reported Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog group. Some of that excess ran as high as 187% in Texas, 177% in New Mexico and 171% in South Dakota. “The new study of excess — or ghost voters — highlights the recklessness of mailing blindly ballots and ballot applications to voter registration lists. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections,” Mr. Fitton noted.
