American Troops RAPING Iraqi Women: Iraqi's Behead 2 Soldiers in Revenge

This is front page news in Saturday's New York Times.

UPDATE: The girl killed and raped was 15.

Some of America’s brave fighting men are raping Iraqi women and then killing them to cover up the evidence, investigators believe.

Representative Murtha has said that the American troops in Iraq are “Out of Control”. Too much pressure, too many tours. He as a representative of the military. And the Military brass wants the troops out. I believe the military is allowing the truth about what is happening in Iraq to come out. And they are doing this for the purpose of stimulating the American public into action to demand the withdrawal of the troops. Remember Murtha represents the military in Congress.

The Prime Minister of Iraq and Karzai of Afghanistan have condemned the American Treatment of Iraqi's and Afghans by American soldiers who regularly bust into family homes as they are now doing in Ramadi and Baghdad in current operations. How many women are being raped in these operations? How many are killed and their deaths blamed on insurgents?

Investigators believe a group of U.S. soldiers suspected of raping an Iraqi woman, then killing her and three members of her family plotted the attack for nearly a week, a U.S. military official said Saturday

.

The suspects were from the 502nd Infantry Regiment and belonged to the same platoon as two soldiers kidnapped and killed south of Baghdad this month, another official close to the investigation said Friday. The soldiers' mutilated bodies were found June 19, three days after they were abducted by insurgents near Youssifiyah southwest of Baghdad.

One of the family members they allegedly killed was a child, said a senior Army official who also requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The senior official said the alleged incident was first revealed by a soldier during a routine counseling-type session. The official said that soldier did not witness the incident but heard about it.

This soldier felt guilty about the rape and murder, not because the family was murdered including a child, but because he thought that the two American soldiers who were beheaded, were beheaded and tortured because of the rape and murder of the Iraqi family. Isn’t that interesting?

A second soldier, who also was not involved, said he overhead soldiers conspiring to commit the crimes and then later saw bloodstains on their clothes, the official said.

This indicates that some soldiers conspire with each other to commit rape; they let it be known among other soldiers, not involved what they are doing. That might lead one to believe that it is commonplace to rape “hot” Iraqi women. It seems the soldiers had noticed the woman on previous patrols and decided to act based on their sexual urges.

This is not an isolated incident. This may not be the first time for this group of soldiers. How many other women did they rape and how many other families did they murder to cover up the evidence? How many other “groups of soldiers” are systematically raping Iraqi women and then killing the families?

The Taguba report on Abu Ghraib additionally has confirmed rape of Iraqi women by American soldiers. One of the reasons the prison was attacked by mortars was in response to the raping of the women in the prison.

The Taguba inquiry has corroborated the contents of the letter smuggled out of Abu Ghraib by a woman known only as "Noor". The enquiry found the letter to be entirely in line with the activities going on within the prison. While most of the focus since the scandal broke three weeks ago has been on the abuse of men, and on their sexual humiliation in front of US women soldiers, there is now incontrovertible proof that women detainees have also been abused. Among the 1,800 digital photographs taken by US guards inside Abu Ghraib there are, according to Taguba's report, images of a US military policeman “having sex” with an Iraqi woman. Taguba discovered that guards have also videotaped and photographed naked female detainees. Bush refused to release other photographs of Iraqi women forced at gunpoint to bare their breasts (although Congress were shown them) - ostensibly to prevent attacks on US soldiers in Iraq. However in reality this is merely to prevent further domestic embarrassment.

Assuming reports on events in Haditha are true were the women in Haditha raped before they were killed? In both the Haditha case and the case most recently, children in the families were killed, some point blank.

The American Military presence in Iraq is thoroughly corrupt. Seymour Hersh has reported that Lt. Colonels are actively engaged in stealing cash money from Iraq and sending it to the states. There have been murders and mysterious assassinations all over Iraq

AMY GOODMAN: Seymour Hersh, there was a report in the Financial Times right before the election in Iraq -- it was around January 10 -- that said the electoral group headed by Iyad Allawi, the interim Iraqi Prime Minister, handed out cash to journalists to insure coverage of the press conferences. Your response to that? __

SEYMOUR HERSH: I just don't know that but, you know, when you talk about cash in Iraq, you don't just talk about cash. You talk about pallet loads of cash. There's an awful lot of money. _If anybody wanted to read about this -- the London Review of Books recently did an amazing article -- they took the six last State Department and U.N. reports on the missing cash in Iraq. Twenty billion dollars, much of it Iraqi oil money, has just disappeared, and there's no accounting for it. I shouldn't say all of it has disappeared, but the accounting is very lax. The corruption of Iraq and the corruption of our military by the dollars around, the invidious and systematic corruption of our military is just beyond belief. And we will pay a price for that in the end, too. You just cannot have that much money around. There were all kinds of colonels -- look, and it just doesn't matter. I'm getting ahead of myself, because I -- I don't want too talk about things I can't prove, but I can tell you in the London Review of Books in the last issue, the most recent issue, was a very, very serious essay about the extent of financial corruption and how much money simply disappeared from view, and we're not talking about hundreds of millions, we're talking about billions.)

It appears and entire company of 130 soldiers of the California National Guard may have been using old style mafia tactics to extort money from Iraqi shop owners. They offered "protection" from "terrorists" to shop owners if the shop owners paid them. This is just like mobsters walking into a business and saying. "nice place you got here, we'd hate so see anything happen ot it. If you pay us, will protect you." Translation: " We won't blow up your shop and then blame it on the terrorists if you pay us off! " So the army is extorting money from innocent Iraqi's in addition to all the other things they have been accused of. Here we have an entire company put on restrictive duty. Other companies appear to be involved too, so it is endemic, not an isolated case. Lt. Col. Patrick Frey, has been suspended while the investigation is conducted, he is the battalion commander. [Shakedown Shakedown]_

This gives a whole new meaning to the idea of “pulling out” and “cut and run”. It seems a large number of American soldiers don’t want to “pull out” after raping Iraqi women. They want to do it again. No one is stopping them. They are the law.

I have always said that rape victims don’t want the rapist hanging around afterward. They don’t want to hear the rapist say they would like to make friends with them now and that they are sorry for what they did, They just want them to PULL OUT and never come back again.

That is what America must do. PULL OUT and never come back again.

New York Mafia Cops and Crooked Mafia Judges

Bernard Kerik former New York City Police Commissioner and two New York high ranking cops working for the Mafia are set free by a corrupt judicial system.

New York’s’ Finest Hit Men Cops

83 year old "Mob" Judge Jack Weinstein today set free two convicted New York high - level Top Cop/ Mafia hit men on the basis of the statue of limitations while angrily excoriating the same convicted felons and stating he had to obey the constitution:

Both were cops convicted and sentenced to life previously. The conviction was overturned today. Both cops were convicted as paid  assassins of the mob. They murdered among others, rival gangsters for the Luchese crime family.

My Translation of the judges ruling: The Judge was gotten to by somebody. Somebody got to the judge either in the form of cash, gifts or more likely extortion or even a simple payback favor. They had something on the Judge or some previous association with the judge.

One of the convicted cops was head of the organized (mafia) crime unit for the New York Police Department. These weren’t street cops. They were high-level officials in the police department. Just as their are high-level officials in the police department, there are no doubt high-level judges who do work for the Mafia.

Of course the judge angrily derided the murdering New York top cops. He had to. That's the only way to cast suspicion away from the fact that somebody got to him.

Judge Weinstein wrote that Mr. Eppolito and Mr Caracappa

"had kidnapped, murdered and assisted kidnappers and murderers" and he had no choisce but to let them go because the 5 year staure of limitations in the conspirisacy cases had run out.

And this gem:

Eppolito said last week that he didn't complain about not being allowed to testify for fear of angering the judge. Weinstein yesterday called that claim "ludicrous."

Of course the defendants and Judge Weistein make it look like they are at odds with each other. This is a set up to a classic rigged trial. And if one looks at the Judge who has presided over a number of Mob trials in the pasts record, one ought to note that there is compettion between mob familites and any sentencing of mob figures by the judge does not necessarily reveal where his associations lie.

We see here the cops were arresting their enemies in the mob while working for the Luchese crime family. So it may be with judges.

The indictment (against the cops) accuses them of working as secret associates of the Luchese crime family. They are charged with disclosing the identity of six cooperating witnesses - three of whom were killed - and compromising several federal and state investigations.

.

And so it is with judges. They may be working in favor of one crime family over the other. So don't be fooled by this judges rulings in the past.

Of course Eppolitio worte a book called "Mafia Cop" detailing his long association with mobsters before he became a cop and became a good guy.

Mr. Eppolito had relatives in organized crime - his father, Ralph, was called Fat the Gangster and his uncle, James, was known as Jimmy the Clam. But Mr. Eppolito did not disclose any of that on his police application.

And of course Caracappa appeared in an episode of The Sopranos and Goodfellas and many other Mob movies and both these guys live in Yearly Gloss land, Las Vegas. I wonder who arranged that. Half the actors on the show aren't even acting.

BERNARD KERIK: 911 HERO, IRAQ CONSULTANT, NOMINEE FOR CHIEF OF HOMELAND SECURTIY.

In December 2004, George W. Bush nominated Kerik as Secretary of Homeland Security.

Today he did a perp walk. But it’s all for show. You see Kerik took a bribe….I mean “gift” for $165,000 dollars in renovations of his apartment from a New Jersey Contractor Interstate Industrial Corporation which has been accused of Mafia ties. You know, just like that business in Jersey that Tony runs.

Here’s a little bio on BERNARD KERIK:

Kerik was declared bankrupt in March 1988, but today he is a multimillionaire, the result of a lucrative partnership with former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and an even more profitable relationship with a stun-gun manufacturer.

His relationship since 2002 with Taser International, a Scottsdale, Arizona, manufacturer of stun guns, has by far been the biggest source of his newfound wealth, earning him more than $6.2 million in pre-tax profits through stock options he was granted and then sold, mostly in November 2004.

Kerik is currently the CEO of The Kerik Group, a global provider of Homeland Security and industrial security services.

Of course the "government" negoitiated a deal with Kerik wherby instead of being arrested, put on trial and sent to jail for bribery and working with the Mob, he was according to the New York Times let off easy:

The agreement, which ended an exhaustive 18 month investigation by the offices of Mr. Johnson and Ms. Hearn focused on Interstate and Mr. Kerik's relationship with the company and allowed Mr. Kerik to avoid jail time, more serious bribery charges and a felony conviction.

Translation: Kerik used his connections to Guiliani to Bush to ask the feds to let him off easy.

Then in Chicago we have  Police CaptainJon Burge, (a man no one seems to know) who totured almost 200 African Americans exclusively. He's living in Florida and getting his pension, and he too, is protected by the statue of limitations which all the other law enforcement officials in Chicago let run out despite testimony, photos and mounds of evidence against him.

Today in Iraq we hear of the systematic , planned murder by U.S. troops of a family for the purpose of raping the daughter in the family and we are supposed to think this is an isolated incident.

These troops, like Burge and Caracappa in Vietnam are learning how to devlove the value of human life.

And America doesn't raise an eyebrow.

Torture in Chicago. Torture in Iraq

Jon Burge was dismissed from the Chicago Police force in 1989 but he has never been charged with a crime. No charges agaisnt him and over 20 other police officers despite a mountain of evidence that indicates Burge and others should be prosecuted for the Abu Ghraib like torture of dozens of African American citizens. The total of those tortured is 192 and growing. What's happended in Iraq should not be so shocking. Torture in America's rape rooms has been common fare.

  Burge learned how to torture in Vietnam. He taught many other police officers the tricks of his trade. There are over 20 other police officers accused of torture.  Those soldiers and contractors in Iraq who have learned to torture, rape,  shoot first and ask questions later will be coming back from Iraq someday. They will bring what they have learned to American law enforcement as Burge did.

Mayor Daley was Involved

Does Chicago (America) have a mayor who is hiding his involvement in the cover-up of the systematic torture by Chicago Police of almost 200 African American citizens? Why if there are 200 hundred reported cases of torture with evidence has there not been one prosecution?

The states attorney decides what cases to prosecute. Mayor Richard Daley was the States Attorney during the reported torture and he was informed of the torture and evidence of torture. Mayor Richard M. Daley did nothing.

Abu Ghraib is said to be shocking. American troops murdering, torturing, raping and sexually humiliating scores of Iraqi prisoners. How long has this been going on?

Well it’s been going on right here in Chicago for at least 20 years. It is rarely reported in the Chicago News media but has been consistently been reported by the free Chicago Reader which is a hand out paper for locals on upcoming events. John Conroy a staff writer for the reader has pursued this torture scandal for a number of years and it is our only real access to what happened.

John Conroy reports

THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR'S report on the Chicago police torture scandal is expected to be issued shortly, perhaps in a matter of days. Special prosecutor Edward Egan has uncovered 192 victims (there may well be more) claiming to have been abused by Jon Burge and detectives serving under him from the 1970s into the 1990s, scores of them not identified in any published list. The scale of criminality is immense: hundreds of assaults (most victims were subjected to more than one attack), hundreds of acts of misconduct qualifying as felonies. Some detectives, called to testify in various proceedings, may have committed perjury on five or more occasions in a single case.

The prosecutors and politicians in Chicago have been stalling for the statue of limitations to run out and for time in general. Mayor Daley did nothing during his time as State Attorney from 1981 to 1989. Daley was informed of the torture allegations, photos and evidence.

Now that the statute of limitations has run out many if not all of these crimes, state prosecution is unlikely, though victims’ attorneys hold out hope that federal charges are possible.

Those informed of the torture and those who participated in the torture have gone on to bigger and better things. Apparently torture aficionados like George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld have a lot of friends operating on the local level.

Some of the prosecutors informed of the torture are now judges. One serves on the Illinois Appellate Court. And one is the mayor.

One can compare Sadaam Hussein’s alleged torture rooms with Bush’s documented torture rooms in Iraq and Bush’s documented treatment of prisoners in Texas where he was governor.

In George Bush's America, denial about inmate mistreatment runs similarly rampant. As Texas governor, Bush oversaw the executions of 152 prisoners and thus became the most-killing governor in the history of the United States. Ethnic minorities, many of whom did not have access to proper legal representation, comprised a large percentage of those Bush put to death, and in one particularly egregious example, Bush executed an immigrant who hadn't even seen a consular official from his own country (as is required by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to which the US was a signatory). Bush's explanation: "Texas did not sign the Vienna Convention, so why should we be subject to it?"

Governor Bush also flouted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by choosing to execute juvenile offenders, a practice shared by only Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Significantly, in 1998 a full 92% of the juvenile offenders on Bush's death row were ethnic minorities.

Conditions inside Texan prisons during Bush's reign were so notorious that federal Judge William Wayne Justice wrote, "Many inmates credibly testified to the existence of violence, rape and extortion in the prison system and about their own suffering from such abysmal conditions." n George Bush's America, denial about inmate mistreatment runs similarly rampant.

There are 2 million Americans serving time on Prison Planet America. Many of them work as slave labor for corporations, many are black. Who said slavery is over? Maybe it's just got a new face. But let’s get back to Chicago lest we begin to see a worldwide endemic pattern of American injustice.

From the Reader:

Since the first reports of Chicago police torture surfaced a quarter century ago the list has swelled to nearly 200 cases involving dozens of public employees—and still no one has been prosecuted.

I come from the south side. I live in Uptown now. Police harassment was a visible constant then and is constant now here in Uptown.

We have much to look forward to, when our brave fighting men and women…some of whose minds have become warped beyond repair return to the United States and enter into the police forces all over the nation. There will be a new kind of police force in the future too. It will be private security forces, patrolling the borders, being called in to quell disturbances in New Orleans replacing of the National Guard. They will bring their knowledge and perversity learned in Iraq with them, perhaps to your door.

From the Reader

Burge, a south-side native, may have learned to torture in Vietnam, where he served in 1968 and ’69. Veterans of his company have reported that they participated in the electrical torture of Vietcong suspects, shocking them using hand-cranked field telephones.

More than 50 men alleged that they were tortured by Burge and his detectives during Daley’s term as Cook County state’s attorney, from 1981 to 1989. He was put on notice several times, most dramatically in the case of Andrew Wilson. Photographs of Wilson’s stitches, burns, and alligator- clip wounds made compelling evidence in court, underlined by Hyman’s failure to ask if Wilson had given his statement voluntarily. Received copy of letter from Dr. John Raba, who as medical director of Cermak Hospital examined Wilson’s injuries, urging police superintendent Richard Brzeczek to investigate. Brzeczek told Daley he had promised to investigate all cases of police brutality but did not want to jeopardize Wilson’s prosecution and asked for guidance. Daley sent no reply. Mayor of Chicago since 1989.

The Reader article concludes that Patrick (I have always called him Fizzgerald) Fitzgerald offers the only hope of prosecution at the federal level.

If he won't prosecute the Whitehouse and his Republican appointees I suppose there is a chance he would prosecute a Democratic Mayor. But wait! This Democratic Mayor apparenlty voted for George Bush. Mayor Daley refused to endorsee John Kerry. Mayor Daley said that who he voted for in the 2004 presidential election was a private matter. That is absolutely unheard of in Democratic politics in Chicago.

Is that why the Feds under Fitzgerald have given Daley such easy unheard of treatment in their interview of him, allowing him to speak "off the record" with his attorney present in a hiring scandal that Fitzgerald is now investigating?

Don't bet on Fitzgerald going after an ally of Bush. So far he has gone only after his enemies, like Republican governor George Ryan who ended the death penalty in Illinois much to the chagrin of Karl Rove and George Bush.

Daily Gloss (Kos) Vegas Style

Daily Kos holds it's convention in Las Vegas.

Why Las Vegas?

It's not because Vegas is cheap. It's expensive. The "cheap idea" was just a old seduction routine. It isn't used any longer. Now Vegas is selling itself as the exclusive playworld for the rich and famous.

There is nothing political about Las Vegas. It is the heart of American hype. The Strip is an empty place, hollow, lots of sugar and no substance except the kind one puts in one's nose.

The Riviera is a cheap hotel by Las Vegas Standards, at the edge of the strip and placed near the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Director of Entertainment there is "Pussy" who appeared in numerous Soprano episodes before being killed off. Perhaps he and the bloggers are working together. If Mr. Zuniga, (a 30 something allegedly born in Chicago and who was "raised" in El Salvador for 8 years or so) can wing it maybe "Pussy" (Vincent Pastore) can get him a gig as a stand up comedian taking Larry "Uncle Lar" Reebs place. He's from Chicago too. Reeb tells fart jokes for the Riviera.

Las Vegas has and always will be born of corruption, murder and excess. It is the mecca for the old mob and the new legitimate mob. You can go to the Palms to see the new legitimate mob. Those guys own a basketball team. How many Daily Kos will go there and mingle with the young "Chistofahs" in the outfit or catch sight of a mainstream media star or starlet? Or maybe just a fleeting glimpse of the freshly massaged back of Ben Affleck's neck beyond the red velvet ropes that keep the commoners at  bay from the high stakes poker table where our hero Ben, on another all-nighter, slumps, sipping a long island ice tea or three.

This is the place that the eager, shiny eyed, perfect toothed, clearasil poster boy Genius fellow from Daily Kos and others have chosen to hold their political convention. Did they go their to discuss their views or to party? Or is it both?

Clever choice for the clean cut, bright eyed, earnest looking authors of a book with a premise based in fantasy called "Crashing the Gate" which pretends to trumpet the liberal blogs and their burgeoning "influence" on the so called Democratic Party and politics in general. Blogsters are fun little toys that members only, clubby congressman in Washington play with for a few seconds by making the Blogsters feel important before sending them on thier way. Cute little things, blogsters. Blogsters are allowed to experience a moment or two of senatorial presence, catch a glimpse of fame and hope that some of the spotlight of fame may have rubbed off on their clothing as they scurry home to tell thier friends of their "experience" and to wonder if they are now somehow changed or different or special now.

Maureen Dowd wrote a column in Saturday's New York Times. She's a mainstream columnist often used by illiberal ...(as in illegal) blogsters to bolster their point of view. It seems the liberal bloggers can't wait to be seen on Mainstream Media TV shows or appear in articles of Mainstream authors. Why is that?

It is because these bloggers are ready to sell out as quickly as you can offer them the opportunity. It seems that Maureen Dowd sensed this quite quickly. And she apparently sensed it from none other that Mr. Kos himself who thought himself quite clever in his sychophantic conversation with her. But it seems he simply revealed himself as a man as deep as Las Vegas.

It seems Jerome Armstrong of Virginia has gone to work for Virginia Governor Mark Warner as a consultant> Larry King loves Warner, the centrist mainstream democrat whose postion on the Iraq War is not based on what is beneficial for the American people, the troops, and oh yes, the Iraqazoids, (whose resemblance to human beings is quite remarkable) it is based on what he mistakenly believes will get him elected. Mark Warner likes having Jerome in his camp. It looks good. That's why he is paying you Jerome. He's not really listening to you. Like Las Vegas, he thinks your cheap. Mark Warner, not Russ Feingold, that's who Jerome Armstrong is a trophy consultant for.

Daily Kos is essientially a forum for the naive Americans still on training wheels who actually believe the world around them is as described by the institutions they have been educated by and exposed to. They believe in a make believe world, not a real one,  and that is why they chose Las Vegas.

It's perfect fit. Where Daily Kos meets it's own mirror image. Where fantasy meets fantasy.

Goss Was Probably Bribed By Wilkes as a Congressman

It seems pretty clear to me that Porter Goss as a congressman serving on the intelligence committee participated in parties at the Watergate Hotel or elsewhere in which prostitutes were present. His number three man in the CIA Foggo was also present. Foggo is described as a life long friend of Brent Wilkes who arranged the stag poker parties in rented suites at the Watergate.

CIA officials were reportedly amazed that Goss chose Foggo to become the number 3 man in the CIA. The reason for this is apparently their mutual connection to Wilkes and perhaps the possibility that Goss was pressured by Foggo and or Goss needed Foggo at that level to stop and or destroy any investigation or evidence of their mutual scandalous activities involving Wilkes.

Harpers Magazine mentioned in an article that an investigation into the events surrounding the Watergate Hotel involved a former congressman who served on a intelligence committee (GOSS) who now holds a major intelligence post.

Ken Sliverstein who claims knowledge of these events is quoted in Harpers Magazine:

I've learned from a well-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence comittees—including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post.

Goss have now resigned, with Foggo expected to follo suit. I think the reason for the curt and quick goodbye from the Bush adminstration is that the Bush people know this story is about to break and it will be a scandal on the level of the Profumo scandal in London in the 60's. It will live on for years and be the mother of movies, TV series and endless talk for years to come.

The talk will be how a congressman who was associated in bribery and prostitution became head of the CIA. Porter Goss apparently took bribes as a congressman either in the form of cash or gifts (perhaps prostitutes) from the same man who bribed Duke Cunningham. Goss's mere presence at a party in which prostitues are hired for the purpose of currying the favor of the participants would qualify him as a person who participated not only in illegal activiity, but in accepting a bribe whether he took the services of a prostitute or not. The atmosphere of the party is in essence, a bribe.

This man who bried Duke Cunningham and organized the parties is Brent Wilkes, a defense contractor who appears to have tried to influence CIA and "lawmakers" to award his company contracts. Wilkes apparently has a number of associates with criminial records.

This will be the BIG STORY for next week.

Shiites and Sunnis United to Fight the United States. The End of the Road for the U.S.

The situation in Iraq can be summed up with the following.

1). The United States is now at war with the Shiites (who they put in power) and the Sunnis. The Iraqi government cannot be formed as long as there is US presence and will probably never be formed from the elements that it is currently composed of. The government will not form, but the military elements are coalescing from both Shiite and Sunni blocks to fight the United States.

2). The largely Shiite Iraqi army is about to disintegrate completely and parts will simply disband and other parts become part of Iraqi Shiite militias fighting the US..

3). The United States attempt to provoke civil war has backed fired. The Shiite and Sunni groups will temporarily focus on the expulsion of the Americans from Iraq before resuming their war with each other.

4). The United States military is actively engaging in "Black Ops" against Shiites and killing many innocent people intentionally in order to provoke civil war.

5). The United States is trying to Kill Moqtada al-Sadr leader of the Mahdi army who it disingenuosly blames for "torture" of Sunnis. This has backfired as well with Sadr being joined by other militias to fight the United States.

6). The United States will probably try to assassinate  Jaafari and blame it on " sectarian tensions". The attempt by the United States to remove Jaafari has backfired, resulting in a strengthening of his position and a weakening and exposure of how vulnerable the United States is in Iraq. The United States is virtually powerless in Iraq..

7). The impetus for an invasion of Iran despite Bush's domestic problems and poll numbers is largely increased by the chaos of his policies in Iraq as the strategic benefits for Iran from Iraqi chaos (and the resultant exposure of American weakness and vulnerability) are too mighty for the Bush administration to bear. They will be impelled to attack by air and damage the Iranian economy and military so as to lessen it's focus and ability to concentrate on controlling southern Iraq. This can only fail and damage the world economy.

8). The United States is trying to form alliances with Sunni Insurgents to fight the Shiites. This switching of sides is not working out. The attempt to switch sides is simply being used by Sunnis on a case by case basis to their own advantage. The United States is being played like a fool.

9). The United States military is intentionally committing "Mai Lai" atrocities in Iraq for two reasons: 1). To create chaos between Sunnis and Shiites. 2). It's just something they happen to do from time to time. It is very common and goes unreported.

10). The violence in Iraq is about to increase to never before seen proportions from all sides due to circumstance and due to American elections.

Did the U.S. Bomb the Interior Ministry of Iraq?

Initial Reports of the bombing of the Interior Ministry said that the explosions were caused by car bombs. This from the Chicago Tribune.

There were conflicting reports of the details. Police officials said shortly after the attack that the explosions were caused by two car bombs.

As we hear about the bombing of the Interior Ministry we may wonder why initial reports of a car bomb being the cause, later morphed once again into "Suicide Bombers". There were reportedly 9 checkpoints that had to be gone through in order to enter the area of the Interior Ministry. One possible explanation is that the bombs were set off by American Forces and made to look as though they were set off by infiltrating suicide bombers.  American forces can presumably enter at will.

Why would Americans Blow up the Interior Ministry?

The Interior Ministry is the center of Anti -U.S. feeling among the newly elected Shiite government. It is from this center that Iranian influence can best be exported throughout Iraq. It is the interior ministry that controls the Militias and especially the 30,000 strong Iranian trained Badr Militia.

Clearly, a wide chasm exists between American Occupying forces and the government they have created in Iraq.

Responding to the Jan. 5 suicide bombing in Karbala that killed 60 Shi'ites and wounded 120, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), which heads the ruling Shi'ite coalition, said, "We hold responsible Coalition forces, and political elements that have openly announced their support for terrorism, for the pure blood that has flowed."

The United States has recently uncovered torture centers run by the Interior Ministry. Since the United States engages in world wide torture as a matter of course, one can only conclude that the discovery of these torture centers is not a discovery but an attempt to discredit the Interior Ministry.

The new turn in U.S. policy came in mid-November, when the administration decided to confront Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari publicly over the torture houses being run by Shi'ite officials in the Ministry of Interior at various locations in Baghdad.

The decision was not the result of a new revelation, because the U.S military command and U.S. embassy had known about such torture houses for months, from reporting by U.S. military officers.

An undeclared war is now going on between U.S. and Iranian backed Interior Ministry forces.

Raw Story reported the following several months ago as have other outlets.

Yet Pakistani military sources revealed in February 2005 that the US has "resolved to arm small militias backed by US troops and entrenched in the population," consisting of "former members of the Ba'ath Party" - the same people already teamed up with Zarqawi's al-Qaeda network.

In a highly clandestine operation, the US procured "Pakistan-manufactured weapons, including rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, ammunition, rockets and other light weaponry." A Pakistani military analyst noted that the "arms could not be destined for the Iraqi security forces because US arms would be given to them." Rather, the US is playing a double-game to "head off" the threat of a "Shi'ite clergy-driven religious movement" - in other words, to exacerbate the deterioration of security by penetrating, manipulating and arming the terrorist insurgency.

So, it is reported the U.S. is using Pakistani Arms to make it look as though the weapons used by selected insurgents are foreign. Undoubtedly the arms are used to kill American soldiers as well. The convoluted, and clearly mentally disturbed policies of the United States are such that the United States is supplying arms to kill it's own solidiers under the pretext of having a broader view of controlling the situation in Iraq. This is literally self destruction.

Zarqawi and the suicide bombers, in my view are largely a myth, promoted by the U.S. Now the U.S. is going to attack the newly elected government on the faux pretext of their abuse of the Sunni population. This is of course absurd. They are simply trying to make up for the mistake of invading Iraq and putting into power an Iranian influenced theocratic dictatorship that is diametrically opposed to the U.S. occupation and interests.

Sheikh Jawad al-Kalesi, the Shi'ite Imam of the al-Kadhimiyah mosque in Baghdad, told Le Monde: "I don't think that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi exists as such. He's simply an invention by the occupiers to divide the people."

Remember that several months ago British Operatives dressed as Iraqis were caught with a car full of bombs.


These secret agent Brits appeared to be either selling weapons to the insurgents or preparing to blow up something in the Shiite controlled south. It is not the first time they have engaged in perverse duplicitous actions. They have been exposed in Northern Ireland in killing their own people, for purposes of validating their agents who had infiltrated the IRA.

According to Detective Sergeant Nicholas Benwell, member of the Scotland Yard team that had been investigating the activities of an ultra-secret wing of British military intelligence, the Force Research Unit (FRU), the team found that "military intelligence was colluding with terrorists to help them kill so-called 'legitimate targets' such as active republicans... many of the victims of these government-backed hit squads were innocent civilians."

Benwell's revelations were corroborated in detail by British double agent Kevin Fulton, who was recruited to the FRU in 1981, when he began to infiltrate the ranks of IRA. In his role as a British FRU agent inside the IRA, he was told by his military intelligence handlers to "do anything" to win the confidence of the terrorist group.

"I mixed explosive and I helped develop new types of bombs," he told Scotland's Sunday Herald (6/23/02). "I moved weapons... if you ask me if the materials I handled killed anyone, then I will have to say that some of the things I helped develop did kill... my handlers knew everything I did. I was never told not to do something that was discussed. How can you pretend to be a terrorist and not act like one? You can't. You've got to do what they do... They did a lot of murders... I broke the law seven days a week and my handlers knew that. They knew that I was making bombs and giving them to other members of the IRA and they did nothing about it... The idea was that the only way to beat the enemy was to penetrate the enemy and be the enemy."

Most startlingly, Fulton said that his handlers told him his operations were "sanctioned right at the top... this goes the whole way to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister knows what you are doing."

Intelligence agencies can be counted on throughout the world to be made up of the dumbest, most mediocre, mentally ill, provincial and backward people humanity can produce. At the same time they have the most sophisticated technology at their disposal provided to them by science. The public confuses the technology that science has provided these medieval minded automatons with "intelligence".

The Ugly, Psychotic American

Sometimes when an individual or a nation goes mad, they go mad slowly, not noticing the gradual change. What once seemed abnormal and strange now becomes acceptably commonplace.

One Nation under Sedation

Just recently, the news that the Ambassador to London, former Hollywood Mercedes Benz car dealer Robert Tuttle apparently has lied about... of all things...that the United States is kidnapping people and taking them to be tortured... to ...uh.....guess where? ...Syria. A nation the United States is actually fighting a low-level border war with. A nation it has threatened with military action. A nation who the United States says is in need of regime change.

Maher Arar, a Canadian software engineer of Syrian descent, says he was arrested in New York in 2002 and transferred to Jordan, then to Syria, where he said he was tortured. The US use of Syria for rendition sits uneasily with Washington's portrayal of the country as a pariah state. The Guardian has reported the CIA used British airports to refuel for rendition flights, which would contravene British law.

America Fights its Allies-The Enemy is Anyone, Everywhere

Continuing its convoluted, confused "policies" the United States begins its switch from fighting the insurgents  to supporting them. Supporting the insurgents against the government that they have fought a war to install, a war  that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. The U.S. is pressuring the Iranian influenced Shiite leaders to give up control over their Iranian trained Badr militia while the Bush administration attempts to maintain control over the American trained "Iraqi Army" through heavy American presence and monitoring. The "Iraqi Army"  is made up primarily of people non-military minded looking for work, some insurgents, militias and especially Badr and Peshmerga militias. A lot of the soldiers are there for the money and a lot of the soldiers are infiltrators from the Kurdish North and the Shiite South. That is why it is not possible to train the Iraqi Army. They are not beholding to a central government. The Army is now almost entirely Shiite and therefore more ready to turn on the United States before fighing the insurgent Sunnis. The Shiites are aligned with Iran, not the United States. Iran is the enemy of the United States. Those militia men who have infiltrated the Iraqi Army only await the word and they will begin fighting the U.S.  The United States is the enemy of Sunnis and Shiites alike. The U.S. is now in an impossible position.

http://www.antiwar.com/orig/porter.php?articleid=8311

The George W. Bush administration has embarked on a new effort to pressure Iraq's militant Shiite party leaders to give up their control over internal security affairs that could lead the Shiites to reconsider their reliance on U.S. troops.


The looming confrontation is the result of U.S. concerns about the takeover of the Interior Ministry by Shi'ites with close ties to Iran, as well as the impact of officially sanctioned sectarian violence against Sunnis who support the insurgency. The Shi'ite leaders, however, appear determined to hold onto the state's organs of repression as a guarantee against restoration of a Ba'athist regime.


The new turn in U.S. policy came in mid-November, when the administration decided to confront Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari publicly over the torture houses being run by Shi'ite officials in the Ministry of Interior at various locations in Baghdad.


The decision was not the result of a new revelation, because the U.S military command and U.S. embassy had known about such torture houses for months, from reporting by U.S. military officers.

As I mentioned in a previous post, these torture centers were not discovered but exposed for political reasons.

1). to further obfuscate the U.S. role in torture in the public mind i.e. Make it seem like the U.S. was fighting torture not engaging in torture.

2). To attack the Iraqi government which it has installed. The beginning of military hostitlies in now not far away between Shiites and U.S. forces. An attack on Iran,  the real supporter of the Iraqi government is not far off, I feel. It is the only avenue for Bush. It would be too embarassing to attack the Iraqi government militias directly. They will go after their support.

American Corporations Cannot Distinguish Between Paid and Slave Labor

The Chicago Tribune detaiis how difficult it is for U.S. corporations to make sure that their workers are not slaves. It seems from the logic of the administration that slave labor is very hard to prevent, so we really shouldn't enact any laws preventing it.

The Tribune retraced the journey of 12 Nepali men recruited from poor villages in one of the most remote and impoverished corners of the world and documented a trail of deceit, fraud and negligence stretching into Iraq. The men were kidnapped from an unprotected caravan and executed en route to jobs at an American military base in 2004.

 At the time, Halliburton said it was not responsible for the recruitment or hiring practices of its subcontractors, and the U.S. Army, which oversees the privatization contract, said questions about alleged misconduct "by subcontractor firms should be addressed to those firms, as these are not Army issues."

The men were in effect kidnapped twice, once by the contractors to Halliburtion through deceipt, phony promises of pay and then left vulnerable, hopelessly disoriented in a strange land where the insurgents came upon them and killed them for working for the U.S.. America subcontracts its slavery as it subcontracts it torture.

America has a long history of slavery and it seems at times to want to go back. Old, culturally comfortable habits are not easily or willingly broken. Halliburtons excuse that it cannot be responsible for its contractors is reminiscent of Bush's blaming the CIA for giving him bad information. The CIA is presented as a subcontractor to the Whitehouse who didn't do their job properly. Bush accepts responsibility....but not the blame. It's not his fault we invaded Iraq and 300,000 people died so that Iran could take over Iraq and turn it into a fundamentalist Anti U.S. theocracy.

Bush declared zero tolerance for involvement in human trafficking by federal employees and contractors in a National Security Presidential Directive he signed in December 2002 after media reports detailing the alleged involvement of DynCorp employees in buying women and girls as sex slaves in Bosnia during the U.S. military's deployment there in the late 1990s.

So the U.S. buys and sells men and women, video tapes its own rapes and tortures in Iraq and Guantanamo, tortures people in Syria, uses slave labor here and abroad, kidnaps people from all over the world without just cause, kills 300,000 people in Iraq with the result that Iran gains political control over Iraq, and then the U.S. threatens and prepares to attack the governmnet of Iraq and the people it put in power while threatening Iran and Syria -one of many nations it uses to torture it's "detainees" who it carelessly captures with great fanfare and mistakenly identifies as terrorists but who are actually not terrorists.

 It uses chemical weapons (phosphorous, napalm) denies it uses them, then admits it, all the while accusing Sadaam Hussein of doing these same things.

New Orleans Lies in Ruins-America Scatters it's Negroes to the North Making the Red States, Even More Red...and White...and ...Blue

The U.S. ignores it own natural disaster in New Orleans, creating  one known ( were, are there others?) slave labor camp called "Camp Amtrak " in New Orleans. Dissapears New Orleans residents all over the country, threatens to cuts off their support and ethnically and culturally cleanses the city of New Orleans for the purpose of rebuilding the high ground parts of it that southern whites live in, as it abandons the rest of the city to future flooding.

This is not just the work of Bush. This has been a GROUP EFFORT.

Here's another link on the Kurds using their 100,000 Iranian trained Pesmerga milita to break away from Iraq as the Shiites will do with the Badr group against U.S. forces.

Bush Planet

In Defense of Sadaam Hussein

The trial of Sadaam will begin next week and is intended to coincide with the expected conclusion of the Plame Investigation. It is hoped that the trial, like the avia flu scare, the fires in California and the terror alerts will further distract a almost brain damaged, pathetically hapless and ignorant American public. Sadaam will be executed shortly after the trial with the date to be derermined by the Bush administration based on the same political considerations above. Many others who were part of his government will be executed in piecemeal fashion when American and Iraqi domestic events warrant it. These executions are a gold mine of distraction

There are so many lies about Iraq. There are so many lies about why the United States invaded Iraq. But there are still more, lesser known lies. Lies that still live under the assumption that Sadaam Hussein was, in so many words, simply evil and on par with a Hitler. What if he was not what we all seem to assume, simply evil. What if our assumptions about him as a person of evil, are like the assumptions of WMD, drones, mobile biological labs, simply not true?

A very...too...brief history:

Iraq's borders and those of Kuwait did not exist prior to World War One. They were part of the Ottoman Empire. The British redrew borders all over the Arab world without regard necessarily to the people who occupied the lands they redrew. After a time, the British decided that Kuwait should be separate from the area now known as Iraq. Sadaam has always disputed that they had a right to do this.

It is generally assumed by people of the United States that Sadaam Hussein invaded Kuwait unjustifiably. Just recently the current Jaafari/Talabani/Chalabi Iraqi government accused Kuwait of stealing it's oil through horizontal drilling and taking large tracks of Iraqi territory up to a 1/2 mile deep inside the border on which drilling is apparently taken place. In addition, the border between the two countries was redrawn yet again, after the Gulf War and Kuwait gained 11 oil wells and an Iraqi naval base that used to be in Iraq.

These claims of stealing Iraqi oil are the same claims Sadaam made to justify his invasion of Kuwait. He also said that Kuwait at the time was violating its OPEC production agreements in order to drive down the price of oil and bankrupt Iraq. Additionally he claimed that Kuwait had been part of Iraq until it was artificially drawn off the map of Iraq by Great Britain after World War I.

Iraq had owed money to Kuwait to finance its war against their mutual enemy, Iran. Sadaam accused Kuwait of economic blackmail and economic warfare. This may not jusify an invasion, but this reasoning is not widely reported in the U.S. These are Sadaam's reasons for the invasion, not the United States explanation for why there was an invasion.


Americans forget that it was Sadaam Hussein and Tarik Aziz who were telling the truth about Iraq not having weapons of mass destruction. It was George Bush and Colin Powell who were lying that Iraq, and specifically, Saddam Hussein had them. Both Sadaam and Tarik Aziz could be executed.

Not only were there lies about Saddam's possession of WMD, there were plenty of lies about Saddam Hussein.

All the crimes that the Bush administration have accused Sadaam of committing took place in the 1980's and early 1990's. The unnecessary war in Iraq began in 2003. These alleged "crimes"  of mass murder and "gassing his own people" were not ongoing at the time of the invasion.

So great was the danger from Saddam as portrayed to the American public that even Bill Richardson today, apparently still believes them.

This month, Bill Richardson, a Democrat was asked by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! if the deaths of 500,000 children were worth the sanctions imposed on Iraq in the 1990's. Bill Richardson's answer was unequivocal: "Yes it was worth it", He said this without qualification. Period. (Richardson is yet another pro-war Democrat "considering" running for president). His position is similar to Biden and Clinton. It's along the lines of "We need to send more troops in order to win this War".
So the 500,000 children who died, died not as a result of Saddam Hussein's actions but are the result of the United States inspired United Nations sanctions placed on Iraq. Bill Richardson supports the killing of innocent children (500,000 of them) in return for the removal of Saddam Hussein and his replacement with a government that is largely supported, funded and ideologically lined up with a fundamentalist Iran. Freedom of movement was greater under Sadaam than it is today for those living under Shiite rule. Just in a legal sense. The rights of women and children are less than they were under Sadaam. And the Shiites ruling the South want to make it even more limiting. Most clerics want a from of Sharia. This is the same kind of adminsitration of law that the Taliban imposed in Afghanistan, but not as severe, they say.

How removed from reality are you allowed to get in the position of being a government official in this country? The war has been over for years. The situation is untenable. The American military is thoroughly corrupt, brutal and incompetent.

Soon there will be a mock trial. Saddam Hussein will be put to death. He has not been allowed proper access to his lawyers. Perhaps the moment of his execution will correspond to a domestic event that reflects badly on the Bush administration.

 The first trial involves the 1982 massacre of 143 Shiites from the town of Dujail, which followed an attempt to assassinate Saddam. Saddam faces execution if he is convicted.

Saddam has been accused of gassing his own people but he will not be tried on this charge.  He will be executed on one charge and one charge only.

The reason he will not be charged for gassing his own people is because it cannot be proven that he did. Apparently the gas used on the people of Halabja was Iranian gas. There was a war in the 1980's going on during the gassing between Iran and Iraq. Halabja was in the middle of a battle between Iranian and Iraqi forces. Some insist that Stephen Pelletier, a CIA official assigned to investigate the gassing, accused the Iranians of gassing the Kurds because he did not want Saddam to be blamed as America had given him the poison gas he was using against the Iranians! Then we would have to say that America aided Saddam in gassing his own people.

Another charge against Saddam is that he murdered 400,000 people and put them in mass graves. According to the British Prime ministers office there is no evidence supporting this. It's a lie, an exaggeration. In any case, that is still less than the 500,000 children who were allowed to die under UN, United States sanctions. Then there are the estimates of 100,000 Iraqi civilians dead since the war began. It takes 250,000 bullets to kill an Iraqi insurgent. It is believed that of the estimated 20.000 insurgents in Iraq, 20,000 have been killed. That's interesting.

Maj-Gen Rick Lynch, the top US military spokesman in Iraq, said 1,534 insurgents had been seized or killed in a recent operation in the west of Baghdad. Other estimates from military officials suggest that at least 20,000 insurgents have been killed in President George Bush's "war on terror".

From CNN

The U.S. military faces between 13,000 and 17,000 insurgents in Iraq, the large majority of them backers of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party, a senior military official said Tuesday.

.
It is common for Americans to assume that Sadaam Hussein was a monster. That Saddam was a threat to our nation and a threat to his own. George Bush, in defense of his war in Iraq has repeatedly stated or rhetorically asked, "Ask yourself, is the world better off without Saddam Hussein?"

My answer is no. I prefer Saddam Hussein. I prefer the Sunnis to the Shiites in Iraq. But that's just my answer and I don't live in Iraq and it's not for me to choose. It's none of my business. But Bush asked the question, for everybody to answer. I believe Saddam Hussein had more humanity in his little finger than George Bush does in his entire body. Saddam Hussein, worked his way from nothing to president of Iraq. I believe he did it ruthlessly. I don't believe he was generally humane. But he was a person capable of feeling warmth; vulnerability, he had a sense of irony and a sense of humor.

George Bush is cruel, violent, incompetent, without experience, self destructive and vapid. There is no comparison to the character of the two men. Sadaam Hussein is much more substantial. But George Bush has very little substance and is equal to whaterver cruelty Sadaam had. After all, he has done nothing but replace Sadaam's alleged torture and rape rooms with real torture and rape rooms complete with video, sound and photographic evidence of their existence and the torture and rape that took place there.  If you can read between the lines of the account of an Irish reporter you get a sense of this imperial president. He is a man who insists he and his sacred office be respected and the protocol around him is entirely staged, overly prepared and ritualistic. His desires and words are to be made into reality. This is not a good position for a self deluded person who got to his position by virtue of family connections. He is unworthy. And all his appointments and staff are made in his image. They are unworthy too. They are incompetent people of position, rather than ability and skill.But they all have one thing in common...power.

Channel 13 in Rochester New York is the only place I know of in America to have published the following account of Saddam's capture. It illustrates the way that our government has propagandized the war in Iraq with a pathetic, misguided attempt to use the dramatization and grandeur of Leni Riefenstahl Nazi Propaganda film with the logic of a script from an Ed Wood production... A strange mixture. The reasoning behind the phony made for TV Sadaam capture movie was the intention to make George Bush's prounouncement that "we will smoke them out of their holes" a prophecy come true. Another KarlyWood movie was the Jessica Lynch story

A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.


Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.


"I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said.


"We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said.


He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."


"Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well."

Just today we have witnessed more staged antics where Bush held an "informal chat" with soldiers in Iraq. It was completely fake.

George Bush claimed that Sadaam Hussien "tried to kill my dad". It has been alledged that Sadaam plotted to kill former president George Herbert Walker Bush. This was used as yet another reason to view Sadaam as evil and a criminal murderer. [Seymour Hersh reported http://www.newyorker.com/archive/content/?020930fr_archive02 that there was no evidence that linked Sadaam to an assasination attempt of Bush's "dad".]

Iraq was better off with Saddam. Rather than execute him, it would be better and just to free him and let him return to power should he be able to do so. If someone must be punished (and I am against execution) it should not be Saddam Hussein but perhaps the man who made execution in America a national pastime of the press and blood thirsty American public.

The wrong man is about to be executed, again.

More Fixgerald

Recently a friend revealed a conversation he had several years ago with Scott Fawell who is currently in prison. Falwell is being used as a witness by the prosecution (Patrick Fitzgerald) to present evidence against his former boss, George Ryan; George Ryan is a former governor of Illinois. None other than Patrick Fitzgerald has handled the indictment and now trial of George Ryan.

Scott Fawell was head of the gigantic MPEA Metropolitan Pier and Expostion Authority. He was head of McCormick Place where conventions are held and Navy Pier a multi- purpose tourist, concert and convention facility. He was described as a favorite of George Ryan.

Long before he went to prison, and while he was under investigation by Patrick Fitzgerald, my friend, said Scott Fawell told him that George Ryan had been warned by Karl Rove not to pursue clemency for death row convicts in Illinois. This occurred at a meeting, I am not sure, perhaps of governors in Washington. Later, after Ryan declared a moratorium on the death sentence, a representative from Karl Rove's office appeared in Illinois, arriving quite unexpectedly and asked to see the Governor. Ryan was told by this representative that his moratorium for death row prisoners would not go unpunished. He said George Bush was very unhappy. George Bush presided over 152 executions in Texas as governor and is famous for his mocking of Karla Faye Tuckers pleas to be granted clemency.


Ryan was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his decision to commute the sentences of 167 death row inmates and his placing a moratorium in 2000 on the death penalty. He did this he said, given the evidence that DNA testing had shown many on death row to be innocent. There is no political gain for a Republican governor to do this. It seems he did this based on conscience.

 Now whether the indictment of Ryan is part of the punishment or coincidence I don't know. But apparently, according to my friend, Scott Falwell thinks it is. And according to this friend Scott Falwell has said the indictment of Ryan and all the underlings that preceeded him is the direct result of Ryans's actions on the moratorium.

The charges against Ryan could be leveled against almost any politician. They are racketeering, mail fraud, perjury, and income tax evasion. This means he received gifts, lied and did not report the gifts on his income tax. It's not as impressive as it sounds. But that's another matter.

George Ryan has been indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald and is currently in court. Patrick Fitzgerald has been heralded as the savior of those who want Bush administration officials indicted in the Valerie Plame Scandal.

These same people who would like to see Bush officialdom indicted point to Patrick Fitzgerald as a non-partisan attorney general, a "bulldog" acting in the interests of the law. He is in fact a Republican who was appointed by James Comey who worked for John Ashcroft at the time of his selection to investigate the Plame affair. Ken Mehlman has said that he has the highest regard and faith in Patrick Fitzgerald's ability to come to a just conclusion to the Plame investigation.

I have never believed that attorney generals act in the interests of the law but rather for political reasons. Whenever a politician is indicted it is always a political act without regard to guilt or innocence. This is true for Tom Delay, it was true for Richard Nixon and it was true for the Whitwater investigation of Bill Clinton.

James Comey who now works for Lockheed Martin appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to be the special prosecutor in the Valerie Plame affair. James Comey is described as being best friends with Patrick Fitzgerald.

Phillip Perry  is a lawyer whose former firm Latham and Watkins represents Lockheed Martin. He has just been selected (as of April) to be the general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security.  Lockheed Martin has won billions in contracts with Homeland Security. His wife is Elizabeth Cheney who is the Vice President's daughter. Perry has also represented a private prison firm and Bill Frist's American Hospital Corporation. Elizabeth Perry (Cheney's daughter) is the second-ranking U.S. diplomat for the Middle East and the State Department's principal deputy assistant secretary of state.

Lynne Cheney had served on the board of Lockheed Martin for 7 years (1994-2001). Lynne Cheney is of course the wife of the Vice President.

I cannot imagine that after Comey's having appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate the Plame affair, that Lockheed Martin could have hired James Comey, as it's new general counsel unless this appointment of Patrick Fitzgerald was not seen as a "mistake" or error on the part of Comey. In other words, the Cheney connections to Lockheed Martin in the form of his wife and son in law are very great and very substantial. Comey was hired by Lockheed Martin just a few months ago. The Plame investigation is a couple of years old. If the investigation were going badly for the Bush Administration they would certainly know that. Cheney would know that. With Cheney's influence at Lockheed Martin, one has to wonder why Comey would be hired if he had chosen a person in the form of Fitzgerald who was about to take down a part of the Administration.

I have always been skeptical of the administration investigating itself - and Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the Plame affair is just that. The Bush administration is investigating itself. The suggestion that Patrick Fitzgerald is non=partisan as seen by his indictment of George Ryan, a very liberal Republican who defied George Bush, has never held water.

Currently, Fitzgerald is going after Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's administration and will inevitably focus on the Mayor. A mayor who shares a lot of things with the President. Both having had father's who preceeded them in their jobs. But Daley is a Democrat and no one can remember the last time Chicago had a Republican Mayor. Fitzgerald is attempting to destroy the corrupt democratic machine. But for what purpose?

I hope that Patrick Fitzgerald indicts someone of significance. But I am very skeptical.

It is time for the indictments, The grand jury term is ending in October. It is also possible that the investigation into the Plame affair has gotten out of the control of Patrick Fitzgerald. He cannot force the grand jury. If incontrovertible evidence was presented that could not have been foreseen by Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald can only influence, not control the grand juries decision to indict. At least that's my understanding. Judith Miller's incarceration is often pointed to as evidence that Fitzgerald is getting to the bottom of the matter. But I have always wondered if her being put in jail for contempt has more to do with protecting herself than her sources. But I cannot say that I understand why Fitzgerald would do this as she too has connections to Cheney. Perhaps it has to do with the fact she allegedly interfered in one of Fitzgerald's  previous investigations while he was in New York.

Somehow, this just doesn't all add up.

Sons of Slave Owners Seek The Return of Slavery

Like an alcoholic the United States can never forget its history. Its long addictive history of slavery and its urge to return to human bondage for profit. (The following covers too much ground and it wanders a bit, but bear with me, please)

The personal history of an individual person cannot be erased or ignored. So it is with Nations and the soul or culture(s) and the institutions that make them up. Everything we do as individuals stays with us and we become what we have done. What we do forever becomes a part of us. The United States has a centuries long history of Slavery. Slavery has existed for a longer period of time since the settling of this country than since the time it was "abolished". Slavery and the using and abusing, the demeaning of people for profit is still a part of American culture and will always be. It is a cultural trait much like a character trait in an individual. Character traits are not easily changed. Traits are not meant by nature to be easily changed. They are permanent. There will never be any change in the negative character of any nation unless there is a painful realization of the trait i.e. what we are as individuals and as nations.

Of course, there are other conflicting character traits that make up the culture of the United States. One is the high value placed on Freedom, which conflicts with the value of Equality; and these two conflicts create the vagaries of language, the convenient confusion that allow for the oppression, the inequality of minority groups for the self serving freedoms of the "wealthy landed gentry" of the South and North.

The impulse of slavery, the intention, the urge for Slavery lives on. Slavery did not end with the Emancipation. Nothing ends abruptly. Slavery has shifted and morphed, sometimes submerged itself since the civil war.

Today, Slavery exists worldwide and is well documented. Some estimate that 27 million people are slaves

Slavery exists in various forms and it exists on a continuum. There are East European girls (among many others) forced into prostitution, there are slave-driven clothing factories all over the world, there are human slaves in the jungles of Brazil who have been kidnapped into forced labor. It is everywhere. In a world that is becoming more and more fundamentalist and capitalist, it is thriving.

In the United States indentured servitude followed slavery immediately after the civil war. Indentured servitude is simply another form of slavery and is the form we are closest to returning to today -- albeit in a new, altered form.

Slavery has been denuded in the United States but has never been destroyed. The impulse, especially prevalent in the South, has been uncovered and given new life by a strong gust of wind and rain from a Hurricane called Katrina. The Hurricane has blown off the phony façade of racial equality. Racial inequality is observable to the naked eye. Why do so many Black people live in segregated areas in Chicago and New Orleans and so many other cities in the United States 140 years after slavery ended? It is because slavery never ended.

Slavery has changed; it now has a modern more obscure, harder-to-identify face. It is obvious. In our very language and manner, slavery and prejudice hide.  We pretend it's not there. Liberals and conservatives are afraid we might have to ask the question...Why are so many black people poor? And the answer might be: They are poor because they are inferior. They are not as intelligent as white people.

 Liberals cannot stand the possibility that this could be the answer. So they approach blacks with delicacy. They are careful.

Conservatives are more forthright, having consciously come to the conclusion that blacks are inferior. Liberals feel "confused" and don't want to have to address the question. The question should be asked. The answer might be surprising.

There are different kinds of intelligence. How intelligent is it to make an entire race of people slaves for 300 hundred years? What is intelligence?

If human beings knew what intelligence was, we would become aware how utterly stupid we all are. Humanity is entirely disturbed and perverse. This is a sick Planet. A planet in need of rescue. A planet that cannot rescue itself because it does not admit to itself that it is in danger. It considers its insanity -- its wars -- as "normal". It is not intelligent to war and not intelligent to enslave, for the simple reason that it is ultimately self-destructive. Intelligence has nothing to do with education. It has to do with how well an organism is able to sustain itself under the conditions in which it is placed. In a world full of abundance, human beings have chosen to destroy. There is enough for everyone. Greed is a form of stupidity and self-destruction. Slavery, and racial discrimination are self-destructive.

Now, meandering back to the South: Most of the Slave owners from 1619 to the 1860's were farmers. Most of the Slaves were considered valuable live -stock. As cows chickens and plants were and are being bred, so were the human livestock then. Most valuable was a well-bred, compliant slave, healthy, strong and dependable.

Those slaves who were not compliant escaped, were killed or eliminated in some other way. People were bred to be compliant. Many slaves, early on, were Indians and there were even imported White European women.

But it came to pass that Black slaves became predominant. It was especially because they were displaced. Indians were not considered good slaves precisely because they were at home and not disoriented in the same way Black slaves were. (Why are so many people from the Hurricane being displaced?)

Until recently it has only been through many generations that one can eliminate or alter a genetic characteristic or trait in the genetic make up of a species though selective breeding. Selective breeding was encouraged and forced by white slave owners on their black slaves with varying degrees of success.

But there is another way to control behavior and social traits and achieve a kind of social acquiescence. This has occurred specifically with the forced adoption of "White religions" by the black slaves.

As with the Catholic Jews in Spain who never told their children they were Jews for fear the children would inadvertently reveal this in school or at play, children grew up believing in Christianity and never stopped, because when they became adults they were just as dangerous to their parents as fervent Christians. So it is with Black Slaves. This is most graphically seen with the Mexican Indians and their conquest by the combined forces of the Church and the Conquistadors working in unison. All conquered peoples adopt the ways of the conquerors. Look at modern capitalist Japan and Germany. In any case, authority and control can be achieved culturally. And it can be achieved genetically through generations of selective breeding.

Today the descendants of the White Slave Owners (whose antecedents themselves were once non-believers conquered by Political Christians) are inclined to return to the position they once held as overseers of the South in the swath of destruction left by Hurricane Katrina.

A small population of very wealthy aristocratic landowners with English roots once ruled the South. Their descendants want the land of their forefather's back.

The Houston Astrodome is like a giant corral where human livestock are held. There are other areas. This from AlterNet:

"But behind the doors of the Astrodome, survival and frustration were the order of the day. Jamel Bell, who fled his flooded Ninth Ward in New Orleans, found no salvation here. "Inside it feels like prison," he said. At curfew, he says, the evacuees were locked in."

At the River Center in Baton Rouge, curfew is 10pm. Food consists of Bagel and Orange Juice in the morning, peanut butter in the afternoon and ravioli, corn and bread for dinner. Many people are not allowed to wear gym shoes, instead are forced to wear slippers as gym shoes are considered gang clothing.  There are no papers, only 3 television sets and 3 computers for 4.000 people. There is virtually no information. Access is extremely limited especially to non-mainstream media. This has been reported on Democracy

 Now!

In New Orleans, Private Contractors and Military personnel occupy the city in much the same way that Baghdad is occupied. Perhaps this is protection, the security for the New Slave owners preventing the return of former Black residents.

New Orleans is the testing ground for the new Security State to be employed in other cities where civil unrest or natural disasters occur. Once Black Water arrives in a city, they will want to keep working, they may never leave.

According to Democracy Now! Mexican workers, too, are being shipped in from Texas to do work in Louisiana and being held in hotels owned by Louisiana Republican millionaire Patrick Quinn. They are presumably paying for their rooms with money earned (are they illegal immigrants?-another form of slave labor) while black people are being held in camps who are seeking employment. Perhaps the Mexicans are more to Patrick Quinn's liking as workers.

Evacuees are being shipped all over the country with one-way tickets. There is no paid return. Many can leave their camp or their shelter but they cannot return if they do leave. How can a New Orleans native return from Michigan with no money. How can they leave their camp? They cannot and so it is easier to create a White New Orleans, isn't it?

Perhaps the plan of our Southern controlled United States government (which seems to think it was Jefferson Davis, not Abraham Lincoln who retained the Presidency of the United States after the civil war) is to put these corralled people in the Astrodome to work at something below the minimum wage for private contractors and corporations like Halliburton to rebuild the areas in the south destroyed by Hurricane Katrina so that white people can live on the land their ancestors once owned 140 years ago. Land now occupied by those in the Astrodome. Displaced people like those in the Astro Dome will return to their homes-not to live in them but to tear them down and build them back up at below minimum wage so that white and perhaps wealthy blacks can live in them. This, if enacted will become the new indentured servitude and it will be perverse.

It's basically Whites Only or at least wealthy only for those returning to New Orleans. It seems Bush will build first a corridor to the Garden District and the French Quarter in New Orleans, bypassing the flooded area of the Negroes. Mayor Nagin is allowing these people to return but not those of the 9th ward. Should the 9th ward ever become habitable again it will be revitalized by the descendants of slaves for the purposes of providing housing for the descendants of their once white slave owners.

Bush Suicide

Mr. President:

Since it is illegal to call for the assasination of the President, I thought you might like to take the matter into your own hands. This is the right, honorable thing to do Mr. President.

This s a President who after flying over the Gulf Coast of the Nation and commenting that the " Entire Gulf Coast has been obliterated". went golfing the following day.

This is a president who cannot ride a bike.

This is a president who is disabled by a pretzel

This is a president who chose a virgin to be the Secretary of State.

This is a president with "Daddy" problems.

This is a president who by most accounts was a cocaine abuser and alcoholic for much of his adult life  (up until the age of 40). At that point he began drinking from the polluted, hallucinogenic well of Christianity and is now a Christianaholic.

This is a President who has repeatedly said that God speaks through him and God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. (as reported in Haaretz and speaking to Abu Abbas, Bush said,  "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.")

This is a President who is delusional.

This is a president who staged the rescue of Jessica Lynch, framed and staged the capture and guilt of Sadaam Hussein.

This is a president who started a pointless unnecessary war in Iraq that has killed thousands to show his dad he could be a better, "stronger" president than his dad.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17347-2004Apr16.html

This is a president who has looted the United States and looted Iraq through Halliburton and friends. Halliburton has the contract now to clean up New Orleans. The President is looting New Orleans.

This is a President has staged his entrance into the Gulf Coast areas on Friday to the detriment of the needy and dying in forgotten neighborhoods, islands, small towns, villages and even boats at sea. So says Senator Landrieu of Louisiana.

This is a President who refused help from local caring U.S. Citizens.

This is a president who has slapped Americans in the face and betrayed them for volunteering to save stranded victims with their own boats, cars and planes. This president has told honest citizens to go away, they don't know anything about what's going on. Their help is neither wanted nor appreciated. A big "fuck you" to the heart of America.

This is a President who exposes his own loyal CIA operatives for political gain.

This is a man who as governor of Texas presided over 152 executions of presumably guilty men and women, setting an all time record. And as a Governor he mocked at the pleas of Karla Faye Tucker,  to spare her life. She was executed,

Your suicide would be your redemption Mr. President. It's the right, honorable thing to do. Many world leaders in similar situations have done the same. Join them, wont' you?

May I suggest the method?

 Drowning.

It would send a message of to the whole nation that we in the United States have zero tolerance for cruelty, looting, lying, traitors and Evil Doers.

Civil Unrest, Camps and Lies Are the Future of America

We are not being told the truth of what has happened. The entire Gulf Coast has been destroyed.

Here's what is going to happen. This is very forward looking - bear with me and consider it, please. It is not tin foil hat. It's premise is based on understanding of the present, which I don't have the time or ability to explain.

If you understand the present, you can predict the future. I claim that understanding of the present.

Gradually we will become aware that there are tens of thousands of people who died. This currently is a massive cover-up. It's a scandal in itself. News coverage is apathetic. It is obvious this has occurred but it is going unspoken. The reason the massive death toll is not being reported on is no one cares to think it through. It is called journalistic apathy. An estimate can be made.

Gradually we will become aware that hundreds, perhaps thousands of people died in the days following the Hurricane because no one came to rescue them. Just today President Bush was told on CNN in Mobile by a helicopter pilot that the number of people stranded and being rescued by helicopter is "never ending".

New Orleans will not be rebuilt. It will be abandoned. It has been completly destroyed by water damage. 80 percent of the housing must be torn down. The city, being below sea level cannot be rebuilt and undergo the same scenario in an era of global warming and uncertain climatic conditions

The Refugees from New Orleans alone are really in the neighborhood of 300,000 people who are also poor in terms of financial resources. They will be put in guarded tent cities or "internment" domes and stadiums, which will be heavily guarded and monitored. No admission or exit without authorization. There are perhaps several hundred thousand more black and white rich and poor that now have absolutely nothing. No income, no housing, no job and no possible rescue from being homeless. There maybe 500,000 to ONE MILLION people who will have to be put into internment camps for "security reasons" where access is restricted. These people will be heavily guarded to protect them against "roving gangs of predators". This will be the logic, the excuse for the internment camps and their restrictions.

These people who will be put into these camps will riot. The rioting will spread to other cities. They will riot because they will not like being put into the camps on a restrictive basis and the nation will react with civil unrest. Bush will call on a "zero tolerance" policy for civil unrest. This will lead to more unrest and mass jailings.

The President will say that the people in the camps are being protected. Restrictions on coming and going are for their protection. They are free to leave, he will say, they simply need to register so we know of their whereabouts. But in fact they will be restricted as the government is essentially afraid of them. This attitude will backfire on the government and they will riot and the government will use the rioting as an excuse for further Police State type actions in the internment areas and in cities where the rioting breaks out. Press coverage will be restricted in the United States. At some point cameras will not be allowed (only under supervised guided tours) into the camps for "security reasons".

Bush will emphasize the need for Americans to open their doors to the homeless families. Many people will respond. But they will not allow the people to stay for months; only weeks and these people will have problems relocating if they do not go to the camps.

Gas prices will injure the economy. The nation will grow angry with the Administration and there will be calls for the President to step down, to resign. He will not resign. He will adopt a position of extreme law and order. He will have the support of his Christian base. It will keep him afloat.

Patrick Fitzgerald will not indict the President or Vice President Dick Cheney on the Valerie Plame scandal. But there may be a couple of indictments, which will add to calls for the president to step down. I think there is a good chance that even Karl Rove may not be indicted. The Hurricane debacle will relegate this scandal to the middle of the news not the front pages.

The war in Iraq will become even more unpopular. Bush will not pull troops out of Iraq in massive numbers. Permanent bases will remain in construction. The Iraqi government will turn against the United States. The Republicans running in Novemeber will distance themselves from the President...to a point. But they will endorse his zero tolerance for civil unrest policies.

The United States is moving inexorably toward a security state. That is a nice way of putting it. There will be a rational explanation for the actions of the government. Some will accept it. Those who do not accept this will be suppressed. Those who stay silent will be allowed to continue. This period of time in our nations history is a time where people are passive. This is not a reactionary time and it is unlikely to become one. The rioting will be put down brutally. It will stop. The nation will move farther to the right than ever before imagined as the "Security State" will establish itself as a protector of America from both internal and external terrorism. Rioters outside of the camps will be equated with terrorist and there will actually be charges of collusion.

You have to understand that according to the president. "The entire Gulf Coast has been obliterated." President Bush said that. Put it all together and I believe this is what will transpire.

President Bush is a danger to this nation. Whatever damage the Hurricane did in its aftermath, President Bush will match and match it brutually.

His psychological state is something that really needs more exploration. He is actually very easy to understand.

 He is emotionally disturbed with a very common hatred/love of his father. He cannot fathom this hatred and it manifests itself as suicidal self destruction tempered, channeled and given focus and direction by his "conversion to Christianity". This conversion allows an unbridled rage of hatred against all living things including himself to become directed with a beginning middle and end scenario of sacrafice and punishment.

Sacrafice and punishment of others first. Then his own - which will most likely never come- because he will not have time or power to accomplish it.

His self destruction works from the periphery inward. Things fartherst away are destroyed first, until he ultimately arrives at himself.

His ultimate goal is simply to destroy. His conversion to Christianity provides the cover or rationalization for that destruction.

It would be a good idea if he were removed from his position.

I am sorry I do not have references to document all these incredible assumptions. They are either a result of my own disturbed thinking or just having confidence in my perceptions.

But time will tell. And it won't take long to find out.

New Orleans will be Destroyed. Where's Bush?

Here is a post I wrote written on Sunday August 28th, 2005 on Daily Kos before the Hurricane Katrina struck the South.


I'm just watching TV. I don't know. It looks to me like the entire city of New Orleans will be destroyed and thousands of people will be killed. Am I missing something?

If a city goes 20' underwater it is destroyed. There is no recuperation from that event. All buildings will be damaged and most wiill be unihabitalbe forever.

Flip Floss's diary :: ::
We are going to witness the destruction of an entire city. Shouldn't there be a nationwide address by the President? Shouldn't he be mobilizing every citizen. Every military airplane, military bus, jeep before the storm hits to evacuate these people who are going to stay in WHAT?...the Superdome? What kind of an emergency evacuation is that? Thats not a safe building.

Bush couldn't have evacuated a few thousand people with military aircraft and buses?

Isn't that the purpose of having a leader? Some one who can anticipate problems and do his best to solve them?

Much of the national gurard from these states affected are in Iraq keeping America safe from ...something or other. Here where there is an impending national catastrophe about to happen this is turning into a disaster movie on TV. There no real content on the coverage. Just stay tuned for when the hurricane hits...it will really be exciting.

Of course it has nothing to do with Global warming. I haven't heard anything about that possibility being discussed.

I havent' heard anything about why National Guard troops and equipment being unavailable to the extent they could have if there were no pretentious war in Iraq.

I haven't heard anything about the safety of the Superdome. A place ripe for collapse.

I haven't heard anything about who the people are who are unable to leave. They don't have enough money to warrant coverage.

I haven't seen any of these people who could not leave being interviewed about how they feel.

I haven't heard anything about what happens after a city is 20' underwater and how that affects people who once lived in it long term.

New Orleans is about to be destroyed not only because of the Hurricane but because it is below sea level.

Why aren't the people being protected?

Now Put the Niggers in the Camps. Part IV

Thousands of people have drowned. There are no homes to live in, no places to work in. Get ready for the "CAMPS."

There is going to be rioting and migration to the North from the South. People have nowhere to live. The government will continue to ignore them for the most part and they will become angry. The government is not inclined to help people domestically. This is a survivalist, paranoid administration and you are expected to survive by your own wits.
Where will all the thousands of people go for the next few months? It isn't a question of days but really years. It takes about a year to build a home or an apartment complex. It takes only a few days to build a refugee camp.

The homeless will be put in camps. They will be refugees in their own nation and will be treated poorly by "a government that has no pride." Some will migrate North. They will not feel welcomed.

Doesn't anyone on TV realize this is going to create a massive social uprising that can only be put down by a Police State? Parts of the South are going to return to an earlier time. Black people and some whites without money will be herded into massive camps. They will be kept there for "their own security" and for the "security of the nation".

We will not hear too much about this. It won't be quite like being in Guantanamo but it's going to be going in that direction.

I say this because I cannot think of any other possible scenario. Where are you going to put all the people who are alive and who have no homes. 40.000 homes were completely underwater in one neighborhhod in New Orleans. Those homes cannot be lived in. But a large portion of the South has been destroyed. Perhaps millions of homes. Hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of people have no homes, no place to go to work, no infrastructure, dead relative, orphans, sick dependent and injured people all around them.

They cannot stay in the Super and Astro Domes for any length of time. They have to build camps. The people in the camps are not going to like living in a camp for more than one or two weeks. It's going to become obvious to them that they are not going to leave. It will become obvious too, that there is no intention to help them. Not really. They are going to rise up and they are going to be put down and this attitude will create disturbances in every major city and we will have some major rioting and revolution in this country.

The United States is about to turn the poor black and white people of the areas affected into the new Palestinians.

Can anyone else tell me how it could turn out any other way? Given the true story (which I tried to get out before the Hurricane struck ) that this was going to destroy New Orleans. I didn't realize it was going to destroy a large part of the south too.

I'm not that smart. I understand the government has had for a long time a plan to put people into camps should there be rioting or an uprising of some kind. I would imagine that they will employ this scenario to deal with the problem.

Why isn't anyone else thinking this through in the media? Why aren't preparations being made to avoid putting people in "Camps"? It will lead to social disaster and domestic warfare.
