- Listening to the Sunday Morning talk
shows this morning on the networks it appears that the administration
has not understood what the Supreme Court actually said. Instead the watchword
from inside the cabal is that there are traitors among us like The
New York Times. This would be laughable if the Barbarians were not so petulantly
outraged, and at the same time so self-indulgently smug about their ridiculous
positions on everything from the wars to flag burning.
-
- The Boys-in-the Black Hats have repeatedly
said that there are "some very dangerous men" being held in Guantanemo;
'men so dangerous that they can never be allowed to return to society!'
But how do they "know" this? Where is the evidence of their horrific
crimes? They have been tortured, yet most have not been charged with anything
~ if they are so evil and are criminal in such major proportions as to
be a permanent threat to the entire world there must be some real
evidence in order to level such a charge. Yet nothing has yet been offered
as any kind of justification of their "crimes." Bush says they
were taken from the battlefields in Afghanistan or Iraq, but that in itself
proves nothing:
-
- Given that the battlefields in question
included many innocent civilians caught in the crosshairs of America's
trigger-happy eruption of national vengeance for something that the administration
has never proven-namely that those "captured" played any part
at all in 911 or its aftermath. (1) The outrage coming from the Tarnished
House is pathetic in its hypocrisy. The New York Times has been one of
their leading publications on many occasions leaking what they were
told to leak, on cue and ignoring those stories that the administration
wanted to kill. Now the White House and some extreme members of that largest
collection of rubber stamps in Washington want to remove their press credentials
because the paper had the temerity to publish something vital, about what
the ad hoc actions of this make-believe government that is eye deep in
its own failures-demands be stopped: on pain of losing their press credentials.
Bunk!
-
- The War on Terror has been created from
a hole-filled cloth of mega-lies. The scale of those lies has now killed
perhaps a half a million people, over 2500 of which were American troops.
Since the entire basis for this war was never anything but a total fabrication,
those calling for it so vociferously must be charged with the war crime
that this is and was, back when Bush invaded both Afghanistan and Iraq.
-
- The laws of this land are about specifics,
yet everyday people must live their individual lives by generalities, in
most cases.
- What AIPAC and the anti-American's in
Congress and on the Supreme Court as well as in the White House are doing
shows a high degree of success in bolstering the national tendency toward
generalizing even these most specific of laws those that govern misleading
the American public and the world in such a way as to drag this country
into unfounded wars. These actions had apparently succeeded in crushing
'the Rule of Law' at lest until the Supreme Court reversed what Bush
has done, in regard to the prisoners being held at Gitmo. Now he and his
cohorts want to put words into the mouths of the justices that simply were
not there in their most recent decision.
-
- If there was a war to obtain either peace
or democracy these two hostile invasions were definitely not what
was called for, because they have been key to the destruction of freedom,
international law, and human rights-supposedly to "preserve"
the very things they actually are destroying each and every day!
-
- Bush walked away from the Geneva Conventions
in the same way that he walked away from his own military obligations during
the Vietnam War. The Geneva Conventions were created in the 1940's and
the USA was a huge part of why and how these conventions came to be in
existence. Until GWB, the US upheld those conventions as if they were part
of the US Constitutional guarantees, under US law. To abrogate all of
this for his own political convenience; in order to torture, rape and murder
those prisoners, using US personnel to capture, maim or kill their prisoners,
in the course of waging his totally fraudulent aggressions in other counties
that were treated as if they had belonged to us all along. The call for
"regime change" was never his to make regardless of the
tyrannies of Saddam. Just as his invasion of Afghanistan without any proof
of complicity in the acts on 911 nor was their sufficient evidence to justify
using preemptive US military force down on an impoverished nation whose
only crime was to have chosen not to allow a Unocal Pipeline to run through
their country.
-
- There's a lot more war now-but there
is no War-on-Terror, and that's what makes everything that happens now
such a criminal farce! There is a lot of punishing of anyone, or of any
nation that resists the military backed decrees of the New World Order:
The NWO is neither "New," nor "Global" and it's about
Chaos not "Order." It's basically a wet dream, conceived by people
who have too much money and aspire to have even more. It's also about wanting
to convert their power into absolute power-powers that can never be resisted.
This, in a nutshell, is what all the wars and pending actions are about.
If anyone wants to see more of how this all plays out, there's a living
Petrie dish called Palestine, where this entire charade is currently being
acted out on an essentially defenseless population-using US weaponry, armor
and aircraft to bludgeon, to torture and murder those people into concessions
that no sane person would ever willingly grant to any aggressor state.
-
- What is going on in Gaza now has been
happening over and over again for the last fifty years. So what lies beneath
the current belligerence and barbarity of Israel? Who are those responsible
for the mimicry of a Fourth Reich version of the kidnapping, and abuse
of hundreds of thousands of people that largely had nothing to do with
resisting the armed forces that they daily have to face. If Americans were
to find themselves on the other side of these awesome weapons that we furnished
Israel with in this country: It would be inconceivable for those
Americans in that situation to not resist that invasion in every conceivable
way. This should not be a concept that is too difficult to grasp, even
for those who are calling for the slaughter of the Palestinians ~ once
they have put themselves in the place of those without jobs, weapons, food,
water, medicine or hope. Even "Bubba" can figure this one out-if
he or she could just get past all the racial and religious hatred being
spewed from Washington and Tel Aviv.
-
- Americans that find themselves in the
mercenary armed forces of the US today, tend to be those who are either
deeply committed to a legacy of military service that is simply a myth
~ or they desperately need a job ~ or at least they need the chance to
begin again, and maybe turn their lives around. Hence they join only to
find that the "job" they are required to do, is nothing like
they thought it would be. It turns out that those assigned to combat roles,
need to toss the manuals, both civilian and military, that outline the
rights and wrongs in any war. For Bush these don't exist; so for the lowest
ranking soldier, these ethics and responsibilities cannot have a bearing
on what he or she must do-without complaint. So their actions are limited
to following the orders given-without question-even if that means murdering
unarmed and politically uninterested civilians in the dead of night, and
in their own homes: all because some over-eager "leader" demanded
that of those that are paid to follow him or her.
-
- That's why there are so many investigations
that are beginning to flower like skunks at a wedding, because these were
never isolated instances-but were created by those much higher up in the
chain-of-command, to be unquestionably executed by everyone involved. The
prosecution of these crimes must rise to at least cabinet level, and must
include the Commander-in-Chief because there are responsibilities, beyond
landing on flight decks and declaring "Mission Accomplished,"
that intrinsically go with this office that he acquired when he stole the
presidency! That title has apparently been completely misinterpreted by
Bush-it only applies to the US military in a time of war-and not to the
people of the world or to the entire American civilian population, when
this country has not been invaded.
-
- The actions of the US military, in country,
are why people the world over have begun to hate Americans. This is why
our troops are despised, the country is hated, and the administration is
largely seen as being in criminal violation of virtually all the laws that
were designed to protect, not just Americans, but all of humanity. There
are rules of war outlined in the Geneva Conventions and the UCMJ (The Universal
Code of Military Justice) designed to protect unarmed civilians. The US
and Israel have become the primary rogue nations, in the world today, that
are attempting to kill or capture as many non-combatants (in their mutually
illegal wars) as it is humanly possible to do before the world catches
on to what is really being done under the false flags of self-defense,
being waved with such passion by both Israel and the United States of America.
-
- The American military is not composed
of robots. These are people that ostensibly have families and loved ones
that care for and love them, as people: or at least most did before they
put on a uniform. How is it possible that people who grew up here, in a
nation that supposedly is democratic, open-minded, thoughtful and reflective,
at least when it comes to the absolutes of life and death-how can these
uniformed Americans suddenly become the latest descendants of The
Lord-of-the-Flies whose actions defile everything we thought we stood for?
The answer to that goes to what happened when the draft was eliminated.
in favor of a mercenary force that could be ordered to do anything at all
for money.
-
- Many that were enticed into the military
had virtually no worldly knowledge, no practical understanding about any
other cultures, other religions, or in other ways of doing things. Their
experience as disconnected American youth was caught up in the throws of
becoming young adults. Too many got their prior "experience"
from video games, or television, rather than from real life. Others may
have joined because they tried to get a job, and found they were not qualified,
or simply were not needed anywhere except in that paternalistic Dickensian-Victorian-view
of love & loyalty that has no room for human beings.
-
- The military took full advantage of these
people who had fallen "between the cracks" in daily life; promising
the much-needed skills and the money to begin to change their lives. But
those promises were as hollow as the words of their Commanderin-Chief,
and they soon found that promises were altered so that the real money remained
'just out of reach' while the troops got bogged down in both the wars that
are being Run-by-Rumsfeld who: contrary to conventional wisdom, was made
Secretary of Offense, despite the fact that he'd been in that same position
when the Vietnam war was finally and absolutely lost! What does the appointment
of this failure say about the Bush who appointed him, and about the congress
that ratified his appointment to that position in the first of W's administrations?
-
- The US government has perhaps the largest
collection of the most inept, unqualified and despicable beings possible
in every key position of any government anywhere. If the Old
USA had seen any other country with such a collection of criminal elements,
such depraved and disgraced politicians as those who occupy those positions
in this government today-then they would have rightfully demanded a "regime
change" with fines and prison terms for all of them, (including congress)-if
not the outright death sentences that are awarded for Treason in a time
of War.
-
- The "example" that this nation
has recently set for the world is somewhere well below par-even for a dictatorship.
The world knows this all too well; and the ordinary people of the wider
world are angry beyond anger that we continue to allow this bunch of half-baked
outlaws to speak for this country-not-to-mention that no one among all
of them is even capable of speaking, directly or honestly on any subject
at any time. To compound the abusive nature of the Bush terms in office:
it seems that he thinks that there is no distinction between American citizens
and those who are citizens of other counties which is why he and his sponsors
believe that they actually do rule the entire world. This goes well beyond
even his twisted fantasies of his own theoretical powers or abilities.
(2)
-
- Consequently in the eyes of the world,
the USA is no longer a law-abiding nation. We are instead one of the two
completely out-of-control rogue states that must be dissolved-if ever there
is to be a viable or civil world again, in anyone's immediate future! The
first nation that now wears that razor-wire crown of Barbarity is the illegal,
totally immoral, and determinedly racist State of Israel.(4)
-
- The charge made against Palestine is
that this is a terrorist government and therefore is fair game. However
Israel fails to credit that the government of Israel is more of a terrorist
organization than Palestine ever was. Israel is armed to the teeth with
American weaponry, American money, and American protection for whatever
they do to the world or in the world today. Regardless of what Israel does,
of who they kill or capture anytime, any place, or for any reason
that Israel chooses to site-what they do makes everything that Israel does
into the handiwork of unquestioned American involvement in every crime,
every murder, and each and every violation of law: be that a UN resolution
or the rules of international law, the Geneva Conventions or simple human
dignity. In this context; here is some of what Norman Finkelstein said
on June 29, 2006.
- This was taken from a discussion on Democracy
Now, between Professor Finkelstein and a representative of AIPAC, one Josh
Block, about Israel's recent actions in Gaza.
-
- "NF: "What the Palestinians
did not do was that they did not liquidate the corporal, which Israel routinely
does. Mainly that's political assassination, which is a war crime under
international law. Israel routinely does that. Hamas did not do that to
the corporal. Number Two: They did not kill the corporal, while trying
to arrest him. Israel routinely does that. In July of 2002, there was a
report entitled 'Take No Prisoners' The report shows Israel routinely during
so-called 'arrest operations,' kills Palestinians. It documents the case
of a Palestinian who was wounded on the ground, no weapon. Israel killed
him. Hamas didn't do that to the corporal. It said that they took him hostage,
they kidnapped him. Okay, Israel routinely takes Palestinians hostage.
In fact Israel was the only country in the world in 1997 which legalized
hostage taking. The liberal head of Israel's high court said: 'It's legal,'
legitimate under international law to take what he called 'bargaining chips'
in order to get prisoners - Israeli prisoner's being held by the
Lebanese. The decision was reversed in 2000 but Israel continued to hold
Lebanese hostages until 2004. So at worst, Hamas was being accused of what
Israel legalized and routinely does. And finally let's talk about the nine
thousand Palestinians who are effectively hostages being held by Israel.
One thousand of them are 'administrative detainees' who are being held
without charges or trial. And the other eight thousand, are being held
after military courts have convicted them, almost always on the basis of
torture. So looking strictly at the numbers we have one hostage, on the
Palestinian side, and effectively we have about 9,000 on the Israeli side.
"
-
- "NF: Let's look at context.
Since Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in September of 2005 until today, the
estimates run between 7,000 to 9,000 heavy shells having been fired into
Gaza. On the Palestinian side are approximately 1,000 crude missiles have
been fired into Israel. So we have a ratio of between 7 and 9 to one. Let's
look at casualties: In the last six months approximately 80 Palestinians
have been killed in Gaza, due to Israeli artillery fire. On the Israeli
side we hear all these terrible things about these crude missiles. ~ 80
Palestinians killed in 6 months. There have been exactly eight Israeli's
killed in the last five years, by (Palestinian) crude missiles. Again we
have a huge disproportion, a huge discrepancy ~"
-
- "JB: Israel has a responsibility
to protect its citizens."
-
- "NF: I totally agree with that but
Hamas is the elected government of the Palestinians. They have a responsibility
to protect their citizens. They have a responsibility to get back their
9,000 hostages. They have a responsibility to protect their Palestinian
civilians who are being daily attacked by Israel. One thousand of those
prisoners being held by Israel, according to the Israeli Human Rights Organization
that says that there are 1,000 administrative detainees, how do you know
what they are being held for?
- (again) There have been no charges and
no trials, so how do you know what they are being held for?"
-
- "JB: It's a proven fact!"
-
- "NF: It would be a proven fact,
if there had been court trials."
- "JB: no answer~ "
-
- "NF: There is a significant difference
between what Israel does and what the Palestinians do; apart from the fact
that, Israel does it in a much bigger proportion than the Palestinians.
If you indiscriminately fire on civilian populations, which Israel routinely
does under international law: and here I have a quote from the President
of Tel Aviv University who is an international expert on these matters,
who says there is no difference whatsoever between intentionally targeting
civilians and indiscriminately firing into a civilian crowd . He says that
both of these (acts) are terrorism. So if Hamas blows up a bus as it used
to do in Tel Aviv that's Terrorism! If Hamas were to say 'we didn't
intend to kill the civilians we intended to blow up the bus, people
would laugh! But if Israel drops a one ton bomb on a densely populated
neighborhood in Gaza, as it did in July 2002 and it said: 'Oh- we
didn't intend to kill civilians, we just intended to kill a Palestinian
Terrorist. 'That would be considered as preposterous, as if Hamas had said:
'we only wanted to blow up the bus they're both terrorism. . . Israel
didn't apologize; as a matter of fact, Israel hailed the bombing in Gaza
City as 'one of the greatest acts in Israeli history.'"
- End of quotes from the interview. . .
-
- Justifications today are based on Al
Qaeda and the kinds of so-called Terrorism that supposedly flows from all
of that. This has led to a revolving door of "the most wanted idiot
of the week" live and direct from Washington D.C. that was home to
the original Al Qaeda, as created by Dick Clark, a former counter-intelligence
chief inside the CIA. Since neither Washington nor Tel Aviv or even the
poodle government of Great Britain has been able come up with ANY evidence
surrounding the events of 911 - that can point to any specific people,
places or events that PROVE anything at all about either the existence
of Al Qaeda, (or something other than the CIA creation that it obviously
came from) or any real and specific EVIDENCE (that's the stuff needed
in courts of law, to actually PROVE anything) that would disprove
the case against both the US and Israel, of their lethal roles in this
entire charade!
-
- Until then, maybe the public ought to
begin thinking about pulling all the troops out of Iraq now while they're
still alive(3).Then we should cut off aid to Israel; after all such a prominent
player in world affairs shouldn't need anything more from a now the down-at-the-heels
USofA that has become nothing but a collection of failed Imperial-Intentions.
Perhaps this might go a long way toward beginning to address some of that
which has gone terribly wrong in this country-but which remains something
that we must finally begin to ACT against, if we want to have a nation
that we can believe in once again!
