PRESIDENT MBEKI —
WE ALL SUPPORT YOU!

• Help Protect International Law!

• Stop Corporate Crimes Against Humanity!

• Say 'No' to George Bush!

Protect International Law

On June 15, 2003, representatives from 5 continents unanimously voted in support of a complaint filed at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague. This complaint demands an official investigation into the lies about the war against Iraq and the pharmaceutical / petrochemical corporations as the largest benefactors of this deception.

This complaint was filed by Matthias Rath M.D. on behalf of the people of the world. Every person, organization or government in the world is urged to support this complaint to stop those actions and bring those responsible to account.

No More 'Business With War'

While people in America and around the world demand the truth about the Iraq war - the US Congress is still hesitant to start an independent investigation into the lies about Iraq.

The people of the world established the UN’s International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, as a means to prosecute violations of international law - with the main goal of preventing future wars. In an attempted cover-up, the Bush Administration is coercing countries like Albania and Siera Leone into pacts to render this important court null and void. If they succeed, corporations will control the globe without any accountability.

No More 'Business With Disease'

The petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries are controlled by the same financial interests around the Rockefeller group. The monopoly of the pharmaceutical drug ‘business with disease’ over decades contributed to the fact that many of today’s most common diseases have reached genocidal proportions.

In South Africa and other developing countries, hundreds of millions of people suffer from AIDS and other infectious diseases. The way to end these epidemics is by using scientifically proven vitamin therapies and other natural, nonpatentable remedies as the foundation of effective and affordable health care.

The People Of South Africa Decide

South Africa has become a symbol of liberation through its victory over apartheid. Today your country is hailed as a leader in the global fight for social justice, especially in the developing world.

The next most critical task in this battle is to protect the system of international law, especially the International Criminal Court. Without them, multinational corporations will rule the world at the expense of the health and lives of 6 billion people today and all future generations.

We are calling upon you to withstand any pressure by the Bush Administration and become a leader for the liberation of human health.

Open Letter by Matthias Rath, M.D.
To the South African Government, other Governments
and the People of the World

DISEASE SLAVERY OR HEALTH FREEDOM

At the beginning of the third millennium mankind stands at the crossroads. On the one hand are the interests of six billion people currently inhabiting our planet - and of all future generations - who wish to live a dignified and healthy life in a peaceful world. On the other hand is a small corporate interest group denying the whole of mankind these basic human rights for one reason only - financial greed.

In this situation, we, the people of the world, have the choice: we either continue accepting the yoke of those investment industries forcing wars and diseases upon us or we liberate ourselves from these burdens and start building a world determined by the principles of peace, health and social justice.

We, the people of the world, recognize that never before in the course of history have we been more united to preserve peace, to terminate the investment 'business with disease' and to bring to justice those who sacrifice peace and health for corporate gain.

At the center of this battle is the upholding of the system of international law created by the United Nations. The United Nation's International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has become the focus of this international battle between the interests of six billion people and the financial interests of a handful of corporate stakeholders.

Now, US President Bush - the key representative of these corporate interests - is visiting South Africa and other African Nations. With the unlawful war against Iraq they have lost their credibility worldwide and they are afraid that they will be held accountable in the ICC, which was established precisely to protect the people of the world from abuse.

George Bush and his administration are trying to coerce the governments of the world to sign mutual immunity pacts with respect to the ICC - with the ultimate goal to dismantle international law and establish the unrestrained power of corporations over humanity.

In this situation, I have filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on behalf of the people of the world, demanding that the petrochemical and pharmaceutical corporate interest group - the most powerful corporate interest behind the Bush and Blair administrations - is brought to justice under international law.

In this historic situation you, President Mbeki, your government, the people of South Africa, as well as the governments and the people of the world have two choices: Either we all succumb to the stranglehold of corporate multinationals - or we resist these plans and help protect international law.

The most effective way to do so is for your government and all others to support the complaint I filed at the ICC on behalf of the people of the world for the crimes against humanity committed on behalf of the petrochemical and pharmaceutical corporations.

Not only does this complaint address the crimes against humanity committed during the war against Iraq, it also addresses the crimes committed in the ongoing daily ‘war' against millions of people in South Africa and around the world that is being led by the pharmaceutical industry and their "business with disease" based on patented drugs.

We, the people of the world and our governments either choose slavery for generations to come under the yoke of the pharmaceutical cartel, or we liberate human health from their grip forever.

The time to act is now!
Sincerely,

Matthias Rath, M.D.
