BoP : Secrets beginning to leak

A commentator who talks about Indonesian affairs discussed the Foreign Office of Indonesia.  The full thread link is at the bottom if there is an interest, but what jumped out, was this delicious little tidbit of gossip.  (This was before the US Supreme Court’s officially ruled that President Trump’s tariffs are illegal).

Sources at Indonesia’s MOFA claim that Indonesia’s decision to join the Board of Peace (BoP) is a prerequisite from the Trump Administration for it to agree to negotiate its tariffs on Indonesian exports to the United States.
Who else could have been given the ‘clause’ that joining the BoP is a prerequisite for tariff negotiations?
Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cambodia, El Salvador, Hungary, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates.
The commentary was not very flattering to the Indonesian Foreign Office and it elicited this comment:
We have a real problem brewing with the “Board of Peace” and it needs much more attention.
1) There is no legal entity for “Board of Peace” organized under the laws of any country, meaning it is subject to NO country’s laws.
2) Trump is acting like the US is party to it as a treaty organization, but only Congress has the power to approve that.
3) BoP is collecting and distributing funds (JP Morgan playing as banker) but this must be in violation of Know-Your-Customer laws since BoP *doesn’t exist*. It is a transnational mafia backed only by the executive power of its members.
4) Since BoP doesn’t exist, USPTO is illegally holding its trademarks on its behalf, violating the Lanham Act, which requires that holders intend to use marks in commerce.
5) Trump signed Executive Order 14375 protecting BoP under the International Organizations Immunity Act, but this merely protects from interference, it does not legitimize or establish the organization.
6) Trump is saying he intends to use it to “oversee” the United Nations. There is no provision in the UN charter for any such oversight organization; what he means is that he is going to extort the UN by withholding US dues.
This thing needs to be challenged legally and practically. If it is not stopped it will quickly evolve into a world takeover mechanism, and indeed it is already usurping US sovereignty as well as sovereignty in Gaza and of participant countries.
Seriously, this is no joke and intervention is necessary NOW. The illegal trademarks are one pathway in. There are others. But whatever you do don’t brush this off as one of Trump’s follies. It’s anything but.
Perhaps the Tariffs is not the only illegal structure around.
