I was deployed to Iraq 4x

5 of my friends are dead
1 of my friends is missing his arm
1 of my friends killed himself
I’ve been blown up 2x by roadside bombs
Hearing fireworks makes me nervous
I can’t sleep at night

All so bankers and war profiteers could get richer
I am the 99%

Rebel Assassins Terrorizing Libyans

In his new article headlined, “9/11 After A Decade: Have We Learned Anything?” Paul Craig Roberts said:

“Today Americans are unsafe, not because of terrorists and domestic extremists, but because they have lost their civil liberties and no protection from unaccountable government power.”

So have millions under occupation and/or attack by US/NATO forces, terrorizing them in the name of “democracy” to “set them free.”

America is a global terror state. For decades, it’s menaced humanity’s survival by imperial wars for wealth and power, not liberation or democratic values. All US administrations reviled them, notably Obama’s, including at home.

Under him, “unaccountable government power” terrorizes globally.

It’s a truism that where large energy reserves exist, America has imperial plans to control them. Libya is now ground zero. US-led NATO assassins invaded to menace, intimidate, kill, plunder, and cause out-of-control chaos, notably in Tripoli, the struggle’s current epicenter.

On August 16, Michel Chossudovsky’s article headlined, “The Pentagon’s ‘Salvador Option:’ The Deployment of Death Squads in Iraq and Syria,” saying:

Reports suggest the use of “thousands of Islamist ‘freedom fighters,’ reminiscent of the enlistment of Mujahideen to wage the CIA’s jihad (holy war)” against Soviet Russia in Afghanistan.

Chossudovsky wrote about possible plans “to enlist thousands of Muslim volunteers in Middle East countries and the Muslim world to fight alongside the Syrian rebels. The Turkish army would house,” train, and send them to Syria.

Thousands of similar elements are in Libya.

On August 20, independent journalist Thierry Meyssan said NATO debarked large numbers of jihadi forces with heavy weapons on Tripoli’s coast. Special forces led them. Violence and mass killing followed. It still rages, slaughtering hundreds, perhaps thousands, and wounding many more.

On August 26, London Independent writers Kim Sengupta and Portia Walker headlined, “Bodies pile up as search for Gaddafi intensifies,” saying:

“Fierce fighting and wild rumors (spread) as hunt gathers pace.” So far, there’s “no sign of an end to the conflict as” battles rage.

On August 26, London Guardian writer Simon Jenkins headlined, “Libya is not an advertisement for intervention,” saying:

“Several claims….made about NATO’s involvement (have) little basis in reality,” including:

(1) Preventing a Benghazi massacre. It “was NATO propaganda.”

In fact, mass killing only began when NATO arrived and hasn’t stopped.

(2) Replacing Gaddafi to protect civilians and install a more democratic regime.

NATO plans occupation and puppet leaders taking orders from Washington, as well as plundering Libya for profit.

(3) “(N)o foreign troops on the ground” will be used.

“This NATO pledge was mendacious….British (and other Western) ground troops were extensively deployed in Libya,” arriving before conflict began last winter.

(4) “Britain was not taking sides in a foreign civil war.”

In fact, Washington, Britain, and other NATO countries partnered to oust Gaddafi. Insurgents, supported by air power, were recruited to do it. Western interests “most emphatically decided the fate of the Libyan people. (They) brought anarchy in the place of order….(They can’t) disown the consequences.”

From the start, Western leaders knew if they “toppled Gaddafi (they) would own the place. It was no good saying they “learn(ed) from Iraq. The lesson of Iraq was, don’t do it in the first place.”

Libya, in fact, is replicating it. NATO’s Operation Mermaid Dawn hoped to end it in Tripoli. “Mermaid” is Tripoli’s nickname. On August 20, it was launched from Sarim Street’s Ben Nabi mosque after Iftar, the breaking Ramadan’s fast.

Insurgents used mosque loud speakers to broadcast chants to Tripoli residents. NATO carpet bombing and strafing preceded and accompanied it to clear their way to advance unimpeded after initial loyalist counterattacks.

Activated sleeper cells around the city joined the fighting. Weapons were shipped in weeks in advance. Text messages urged residents to join insurgents. Battles raged. They still do. Likely protracted conflict will cause thousands of deaths and injuries, as well as destruction across Tripoli and other parts of Libya, besides the horrendous past six months’ toll.

The Big Lie accompanies the campaign, including a Potemkin village replica of Tripoli’s Green Square and Gaddafi compound in Doha, Qatar.

It was used to create fabricated scenes of euphoria, aired by Al Jazeera, an imperial co-conspirator. In fact, it was an elaborate hoax to convince residents Tripoli was in rebel hands. Perhaps seizure of Gaddafi’s compound was also exaggerated, reminiscent of Orson Welles’ famous 1938 War of the Worlds radio drama.

The hoax heard around the world sounded real enough to make millions think aliens had landed. Angry about public gullibility, Welles reportedly said, “If they’ll believe everything, I’m going to give them something (really) unbelievable to believe.”

Misinformation and the art of surprise work well enough to convince people of most anything. It’s especially effective tactically in wars. The jury is out on if it’ll work this time, given strong loyalist opposition to NATO occupation.

All along, the pretext used to intervene was to “protect civilians and civilian populated areas from threat of attack,” as stipulated under the General Assembly’s 2005 World Summit Outcome Document, adopting the responsibility to protect (RtoP).

A previous article explained paragraph 138, stating each nation must “protect (its) population from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.”

Paragraph 139 delegates responsibility to the UN “to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help protect populations from” these crimes.

Military force isn’t authorized, and the UN Charter prohibits it for humanitarian interventions. As a result, justifying it under RtoP is illegal. Doing so amounts to committing war crimes to prevent them.

The UN Charter’s Chapter VI calls for peaceful conflict resolutions. If they fail, Chapter VII authorizes the Security Council to impose boycotts, embargoes, blockades and severance of diplomatic ties – not war.

As a result, Washington’s led NATO intervention is naked aggression, supplemented by paramilitary assassins, terrorizing Tripoli residents and other Libyans they attacked, murdering Gaddafi loyalists.

After entering Tripoli, AP and Reuters reported massacres of his supporters near his compound, AP saying:

“The bodies are scattered around a grassy square next to (Gaddafi’s) Bab al-Aziziya (compound). Prone on grassy lots as if napping, (they’re) sprawled in tents. Some have had their wrists bound by plastic ties. The identity of the dead are unclear but they are in all likelihood activists that set up an impromptu tent city in solidarity with (Gaddafi) outside his compound in defiance of the NATO bombings.”

AP noted “the disturbing specter of mass killings of noncombatants, detainees and the wounded.” Some were “shot in the head, with their hands tied behind their backs. A body in a doctor’s green hospital gown was found in the canal. The bodies were bloated.”

Reuters reported 30 bodies “riddled with bullets….Five of the dead were at a field hospital nearby, with one in an ambulance strapped to a gurney with an intravenous drip still in his arm.” Two other bodies “were charred beyond recognition.”

The London Telegraph interviewed a surgeon saying hundreds were “coming in within the first few hours (of fighting). It was like a vision from hell. Missile injuries were the worst. The damage they do to the human body is shocking to see, even for someone like me who is used to dealing with injuries.”

He said most casualties were civilians. Tripoli’s three main hospitals are full of them. Unable to handle the volume, many suffer in agony or die untreated. Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) warned of a medical catastrophe. Already there’s a human one wrought by NATO and their rebel assassins on the pretext of humanitarian intervention.

What’s involved, of course, is planned colonization, occupation and plunder of Libya’s wealth and natural resources, including its Great Man-Made River (GMMR). Gaddafi rightfully called it the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” consisting of the largest global underground network of pipes and aqueducts, distributing water from an ocean-sized aquifer.

Along with free education, healthcare, housing assistance and other social benefits, Gaddafi supplied it to Libyans. NATO wants it privatized to make it costly or unaffordable henceforth, along with charging for everything formerly gotten free.

The opening comments of a previous article bear repeating, saying:

The US/UK/French-led war on Libya will be remembered as one of history’s greatest crimes. It violates the letter and spirit of international law and America’s Constitution.

The Nuremberg Tribunal’s Chief Justice Robert Jackson called naked aggression “the supreme international crime against peace….so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate (its) being ignored, because it cannot survive….being repeated.”

Post-WW II, it got worse, highlighted by what Washington, its NATO partners, and rebel assassins are doing across Libya. At the same time, they scandalously avoid calling it war, when, in fact, it’s that and more in the worst sense.

Make no mistake. For months, Libyans have been slaughtered and terrorized by vicious war criminals headquartered in Washington, London and Paris.

Unaccountable, they plan more conflicts across the region for total dominance at the expense of thousands more lost lives, as well as unspeakable human misery. It doesn’t get any worse than that.

«A Tripoli resident — who does not want his name to be used for security reasons [Of course! — V.] — describes life over the last week in the Libyan capital, where there are tales [! — V.] of … cats sporting opposition colours.
[What a reliable source for big media news! What if everybody would do work for you with the same quality! Oh, my! — V.]

…
Even animals have been drawn into this conflict.

There have been several sightings of stray cats parading around with the opposition flag painted on their bodies.

Some, I am told, were unsuccessfully chased and shot at by angry security agents and secret police who work in the Souk al-Joumha and Janzour areas where they have been seen.
[Yeah, they have nothing better to do. What a cheep fantasy! Louis de Funès and Benny Hill are weeping with emotion! — V.]»

(Tripoli witness: Mourning, protests and opposition cats. — BBC News, 6 May 2011 Last updated at 07:53 GMT. — http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13295225).

In other words: dumb and dumber. I wonder, for whom they’re selling such unimaginative crap? Jeez…

Stupid propaganda: and even cats sporting opposition colours!

The same in Russian:

Лживые западные СМИ, разжигающие войну, продолжают удивлять нас своей унылой некреативностью и идиотскими идеями. Все это наводит на мысли о массовых поставках отборного ганджибаса из Бенгази. Другого объяснения у меня для вас нет.
На этот раз «креатифф» звучит так: «кошки щеголяют оппозиционными цветами». Не, я серьезно!

Цитата:

«Житель Триполи, пожелавший остаться неназванным из соображений безопасности [Несомненно! — V.], рассказал Би-би-си о жизни ливийской столицы за прошедшую неделю. По его словам, в городе обсуждают [! — V.] … кошек, выкрашенных в цвета оппозиционного флага – красный, черный и зеленый.
[Какой же, все-таки, зачетный источник для новостей в крупнейшем СМИ! Все б так работали! — V.]
…
Даже уличных животных ливийский конфликт не обошел стороной. То тут, то там можно увидеть бездомных кошек, выкрашенных в цвета флага оппозиции.

По словам жителей города, время от времени их пытаются отловить или застрелить стражи правопорядка.
[Несомненно, им больше делать нечего. Какой дешевый гротеск! Луи де Фюнес и Бенни Хилл плачут от умиления! — V.]»

(Триполи: разбавленный бензин и кошки цвета оппозиции. — Новости BBC, пятница, 6 мая 2011 г., 16:28 GMT 20:28 MCK. — http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/international/2011/05/110506_tripoli_witness.shtml).

Смотри-ка, в русском переводе «креатифф» скромнее (сравни с английским вариантом выше), неужели стыдно стало?

Короче: тупой и еще тупее или, как говориться, КГ/АМ. Я вот никак понять не могу, кому они пытаются продать такие унылые поделки? Полный улет…

Убогая пропаганда: «Даже кошки покрасились в цвета ребелского флага!»

That's why they have attacked Libya

Version in Russian is below.

Почему они напали на Ливию

Not so new World Order on the march!

Actually, NATO are committing acts of terrorism. No more, no less.

«In November 2004, a United Nations Secretary General report described terrorism as any act “intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act”.[16]»

(Cit. on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism , the ref. to: http://www.un.org/unifeed/script.asp?scriptId=73 ).

Similar definition of terrorism are given in Russian law:

«ТЕРРОРИЗМ (от лат. terror — ужас) — … 2) в законодательстве РФ насилие в отношении физических лиц или организаций, или угроза его применить, а также уничтожение (повреждение) или угроза уничтожения (повреждения) имущества и других материальных объектов, создающие опасность гибели людей либо значительного имущественного ущерба, а также наступления иных общественно опасных последствий, если перечисленные действия осуществляются с целью нарушить общественную безопасность, устрашить население, или оказать воздействие на принятие органами власти решений, выгодных террористам, или удовлетворить их неправомерные имущественные и (или) иные интересы; посягательство на жизнь государственного или общественного деятеля, совершенное с целью прекратить его деятельность либо из мести за такую деятельность; нападение на представителя иностранного государства или сотрудника международной организации, пользующихся международной защитой, а равно на служебные помещения либо транспортные средства лиц, пользующихся международной защитой, если это деяние совершено в целях провокации войны или осложнения международных отношений (ФЗ “О борьбе с терроризмом” от 25 июля 1998 г.); …»

(see: http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/lower/18795 ).

The same in English:

«TERRORISM (from Lat. Terror) – … 2) in the RF legislation, violence against individuals or organizations, or the threat of its use, and destruction (damage) or the threat of destruction (damage) of property and other tangible objects that pose a risk loss of life or significant property damage, as well as other socially dangerous consequences, if these actions are carried out to disturb public security, intimidate the population or to influence authorities to make decisions, which are beneficial to terrorists, or to satisfy their illegal property and (or) other interests; attempt of murdering of the state or public figure, committed to halt its activities or out of revenge for such activity; attack on the representative of a foreign state or an employee of an international organization under international protection, as well as the attack on the premises or vehicles of persons under international protection if the act is committed with the goal to provoking war, or complication of international relations (the Federal Law “On Combating Terrorism” on 25 July 1998) …».

So the Western states act openly as terrorists. The old international law is broken, the old moral is broken. «Feedom» and «Democracy» and «Free markets», etc. — its are just the hollow words of totalitarian propaganda. New world order, indeed. (Though not so new after Nazi and so on, you know).

American Troops Totally Did Not Use Rape as A Weapon of War. — TamilNet, Saturday, 10 October 2009, 01:30 GMT. — http://www.tamilnet.tv/news/2009/123583/us-troops-rape-iraqi-girl/

As TamilNet recently mentioned, white madam Hillary Clinton most rightly accused Sri Lanka of having used rape as a weapon of war against We Tamils. However, certain people think that she is in no position to be accusing anyone of rape because US troops have allegedly committed rape in warzones as well. We at TamilNet seek to redress this on behalf of our American white masters.

Photographs have emerged showing American troops supposedly gang-raping women in Iraq. While those photographs seem damning, TamilNet can tell you that they in fact tell a very different story. These photos, you see, show some nice American GI’s just taking an Iraqi girl on a ‘VIP tour’ of a prison. They were totally NOT gang-raping her just for the hell of it.

As our totally non-demented readers can see, those soldiers are trying very hard to make sure that the girl’s VIP tour is a comfortable one. They have even provided her with a luxury Persian rug on which to undertake the tour, and food was provided to her as well as a relaxing massage. It really beggars belief as to how anyone can accuse American troops of using rape as a weapon of war here when all they were doing was taking good care of the girl.

There are more than 2000 such photographs depicting American soldiers treating Iraqi women (and even a few men) with similar generosity. Our half-black half-white master Barack Obama broke a promise to release those photos, claiming that Iraqi REBELS (no, they are not terrorists because the western media always insisted on calling the LTTE ‘rebels’ too) would rush to his soldiers in an effort to get similar 5-star treatment.

Needless to say, white madam Hillary Clinton is in a perfectly wonderful position to accuse the Sinhaloids of war crimes because her soldiers are a bunch of saints. She is completely eligible to throw stones from her house because it is totally not made of glass. Please keep up the good work, madam Hillary. You have just earned yourself a year’s worth of free commode scrubs from grateful We Thamizh.

Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told the U.N. Security Council today that there is another good reason to confront Libyan forces. Moammar Qaddafi has reportedly been passing out tablets of Viagra to his front line troops to help them rape women.
…
She also cited reports of Qaddafi’s forces shooting at mosques, targeting children and “issuing Viagra to his soldiers so they go out and rape,” according to an account by a U.N. diplomat present in the room.

U.N. council diplomats said that Rice provided no evidence to support her claim, which appeared earlier this week in the British tabloid, the Daily Mail. Human rights advocates say the allegation first surfaced publicly last month when a doctor in Ajdabiya, Suleiman Refadi, claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera English that Qaddafi’s force’s had received packets of Viagra and condoms as part of a campaign of sexual violence. “I have seen Viagra, I have seen condoms,” Refadi told Al Jazeera.

Human Rights Watch had interviewed the same doctor previously, and determined that he had no direct evidence to support the claims, and they were not able to identify victims and witnesses in Adjabiya who confirmed such reports. Though they also had no evidence to refute the claims.

(Colum Lynch. Moammar Qaddafi’s Viagra war? — Thursday, April 28, 2011, 5:11 PM. — http://turtlebay.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/04/28/moammar_qaddafis_viagra_war).

I don’t know guys… Who sells such crap and for whom? There is no any evidences. The whole story is extremely idiotic (is there some strike of speechwriters now, or something?). And after all, they give us as argument claim that ‘they had no evidence to refute the claims’. : ) If we even take aside the rubbish that Viagra and condoms prove the rape intentions, who cares about have you evidents that refute your fantasy claims or not? Or we are back in the Middle Ages now? If you accuse, it’s your problem to give proper evidences. Who among the UN diplomats don’t know that basic principle of law? The American UN bureaucrats have finished elementary school somehow, haven’t?

So, for those who don’t, I’ve made some pictures about the case. Have fun!

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: Where is the Colonel, who will fulfil her fantasy?

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: The picture is clear. Diagnosis: the spring.

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: Where is the colonel, who will be able to make her dreams come true.

False testimony: is a criminal offence.

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: Have You seen it? Guilty!

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: All (wo)men tell of their own ills?

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: Women of the World, don't worry, USA will save you!

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: The phantom menace. Women of the World are in a grave danger!

Susan Rice, Viagra and condoms: You know what I mean?

Gaddafi's soldiers have penises: Humankind is in the great danger!

And, wait, there are some more (it’s about proofs, just for comparison).

NATO soldiers rape prisoners and civilians? Who cares about it! If someone have seen Viagra and condoms in Libya!

NATO soldiers rape prisoners and civilians? Who cares about it! If someone have seen Viagra and condoms in Libya!

NATO soldiers rape prisoners and civilians? Who cares about it! It's time to save Libyan women!

What are you saying? Some biased bastard (whether he even exists?) allegedly has seen in Libya Viagra and condoms (wow!), but even can’t give any evidences of it, and because of it you are devastating the whole country? And the main judge and in the same time accuser is the country which soldiers kill, torture and rape innocent people almost literally all around the world! Are you kidding?!

The phantasmagoria.
