The Dangerous Gods Act

has never been part of international law.

If it were, then I have to ask who would embrace
being seen 
as the most litigious person to use the act?
And on what grounds, theologicially speaking?
And for what levels of compensation? And last,
but not least, how much are the lawyers going to make?

But we already have enough disreputabe and secretive
international law courts to guide us
as to how such a law might operate.

One of them is the called
The Investor-State-Dispute-Settlement court,
a secretive court that is now in international law
through it being embeded in the small print
of an unknown number of trade deals
between nations, signed over the decades.

There, only the wealthiest private investors
and the biggest trans-national corporations, 
and their lawyers, can contact this secret court,
to sue some community poorer than than their own,
if they have one, for thwarting some major investment
they sought to make, where the population living close
to where the investment was planned have petitioned
their government on grounds that the investment
will destroy habitats that supported life for all, 
or some other ecological, or public health, threat.

The legislation for the ISDS court
could easily be nicknamed
The Dangerous Money Act,
for how unaccountably it defends
the wealthy in the pursuit of ruining other people's back yards.

The United Nations, started in 1948
as an organisation full of victor's hope, and idealism.
By
 1959 it had been being undermined from within
by
 the CIA on manoeuvres. As America pursued
uranium the way it now pursues rare earth metals
but back then the pursuit came fresh after WW2.

Read my review of the documentary film
about that long, sad and sordid episode of history here




with which to 'win' the cold war.  it was soon diverted by the Cold War n 1948,
which s

I can imagine it being used
like some international corporate court,
where the corporation   would
t  be the courts that ruled on it

they would be inundated with law suits
between countries where sharp suited lawyers
press law suits where claims are made
'Your country's God damaged my people',
accompanied by unfeasible demands for compensation.

The nearest the world has got to such an act,
and set of courts with punishments,
is The United Nations, an organisation
-started on victors hope and idealism in 1948,
which since 1959 has been being undermined
 consistently by the CIA on
manoeuvres
and post WW2 claims on uranium
with which to 'win' the cold war.
