American Democracy Is a Farce. This Is Fascism Wearing a Flag.
When the U.S. Sanctions the International Criminal Court for Investigating War Crimes, It's Not a Democracy—It's a Global Protection Racket.
So let’s drop the pretense. America is not a beacon of democracy. It is not the land of liberty, law, or justice.
It is an empire draped in red, white, and blue—a decaying leviathan enforcing fascism abroad while feeding its people lies about “freedom” at home.
The latest proof? The grotesque decision to sanction Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), for daring—daring—to investigate war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Democracy Does Not Fear Justice. Fascism Does.
The United States government didn’t just issue a statement. It launched a full-scale political assault on international law:
Khan’s Microsoft email account was blocked.
His UK bank accounts were frozen.
All 900 ICC staff were banned from entering the United States.
Human rights groups were cowed into silence.
Anyone helping Khan risks prison.
This is not diplomacy. This is mafia-style intimidation from a regime terrified of being held accountable.
And what was the ICC’s crime? Daring to treat Israelis—and by extension, Americans—not as gods, but as humans subject to the rule of law.
“The Law Does Not Apply to Us”
Let’s revisit this openly imperial declaration:
“The Rome Statute doesn’t apply to Israel, or the United States, or France, or Germany, or Great Britain, because it wasn’t conceived of to come after us.”
This is not a legal argument. It is an admission of supremacist doctrine. The Rome Statute is the foundation of international criminal justice, and Washington is declaring, in plain language: “We are above it.”
This is fascism in its purest modern form—a double standard of law, violence, and punishment enforced by the most powerful states against the weakest peoples.
It’s the global equivalent of a cop who says, “Laws are for you, not me.”
The Farce of American “Democracy”
What kind of democracy crushes an international court for investigating war crimes? What kind of free society threatens NGOs, freezes bank accounts, and bans legal officials for doing their jobs?
Not a functioning democracy. Not a republic governed by law. A rogue superpower. A lawless empire. A 21st-century fascist state.
We are witnessing the full exposure of the American lie:
That its commitment to justice ends where its power begins.
When it’s convenient, the U.S. invokes human rights.
When it’s not, it destroys those who pursue them.
The Real Message: We Will Protect Our Killers
Let’s be brutally honest. These sanctions are not about procedure. They are not about sovereignty. They are about protecting Israeli officials from facing consequences for genocide, starvation, and mass killing.
The U.S. is telling the world:
“We will destroy the international system before we let it hold our allies—or ourselves—accountable.”
This is not democracy. This is gangsterism.
This is what the mob does when someone tries to bring their hitman to trial.
A Chilling Silence
And it’s working. Human rights organizations in the U.S.—the very institutions supposedly tasked with holding power accountable—have gone quiet. Emails unanswered. Calls unreturned. Cooperation cut.
They are afraid. Afraid of their own government.
That fear says more than any press release ever could.
The land of the free now runs on fear.
The Mask Is Off
The U.S. once wrapped its bombs in democracy. Now it doesn’t even bother. It rules by brute force, by economic blackmail, by legal strangulation, and by the smug arrogance that says: “You will never touch us.”
But history is watching.
The Global South is watching.
The youth of the world are watching—and they are not fooled.
There is no legitimacy in a system that protects war criminals and punishes prosecutors. There is no democracy in a country that acts like an empire and thinks like a tyrant.
And there is no future in a world where power, not justice, defines who lives and who dies.
