This Savage Nation

Communists are the lowest form of life. We've been Communists since 1861. The Yankees, that is, and all who sympathize with what they did, which was wage aggressive war against people they'd already ripped off for decades. And then they ripped them off for decades after the war was over. That was Communism, American-style.

Karl Marx was a big fan of Abraham Lincoln and wrote to him in praise of his war of aggression against people seeking independence from Yankee dominance, under the terms of the Declaration of Independence. But Lincoln was our Lenin. Grant became Trotsky. Sherman, Sheridan, Custer and the other generals were their Bolshevik killers who went on to slaughter hundreds of thousands of American Indians, who also wanted independence. This was the first state-sponsored genocide and it happened here. Since then, no independence movement has been allowed by our Red government, anywhere in the world. I joined an independence movement in an African country called Rhodesia, but that movement was also crushed by the US government.

The American government is no more tolerant of independence than was the Soviet government. As I have pointed out many times, the American government created the Soviet government in 1917 and sustained it to its bitter end, and then supervised its reorganization in 1990. All Communist governments since, from China's to Cuba's, from East Germany's and all of Eastern Europe's to North Korea's, from Vietnam's to South Africa's, have been organized by the US State Department and/or the CIA.

The hallmarks of Communist power after 1917, the things that made it different, were the psychiatric prisons and forced confessions of "crimes of disloyalty" that never happened. The most loyal and die-hard Communists were frequently executed by their own colleagues after they confessed to made-up charges. Party members were expendable and formed a valuable database for the control of the general population. This was revealed also by the American Communist, Benjamin Gitlow, in his The Whole of Our Lives. He wrote that party members were occasionally murdered by other party members and their deaths blamed on "reactionaries." The purpose was mainly to radicalize even more party members, and reinforce their fanaticism and fear. It was all about mind-control, and still is. Our churches do it, too, and our schools. The only difference is the level of fear needed for control. Most people only need a little fear to be controlled.

America has lots of Communists. Bush and Cheney and their neo-cons are Communists. We all know that. But so are prison guards. Soldiers, marines and airmen, too. They just don't know it, because "they fight for freedom." Our police have become Communists, the way they lie and plant evidence and invade people's homes. IRS agents are Communists, along with just about everyone else in government - especially the FBI. The way our politicians take our money and pay themselves - at the point of a gun - qualifies them as first-class Communists. But anyone who is willing to kill for political power is what today we might call a Communist. The CIA got its original members from the wartime OSS. The OSS' membership was comprised of fifty percent members of the Communist Party USA (to gain the immediate cooperation of the French Underground).

The American-built Soviet Communist machine finally ran out of gas and our military-industry gangsters lost their valuable and lucrative "enemy," which had to be replaced quickly.

My wife and I watched a new movie the other night - "The Road to Guantanamo." It is the true story of several British Pakistanis from Tipton, West Midlands, who accompanied their friend to Pakistan, where he was to be married. This was a few weeks following 9-11. The wedding was cancelled and the young Brits had nothing to do and so, through several misadventures, wound up across the border in Afghanistan. There, they were quickly rounded up by the Americans and our puppet hoodlums, the Northern Alliance. Falsely accused of helping the Taliban, the men were placed in appalling SRO dungeons and then in the dreaded shipping containers, in which most of those with them died of suffocation or gunshots by American soldiers. The movie did not depict that hundreds of these victims actually cooked to death in the containers, left out in the hot sun for days. This was overseen by our wonderful boys, who were fighting for freedom.

The lucky survivors, who included the British Moslems, were then processed and put into those bright orange jumpsuits with total sensory deprivation. Hearing and sight were deprived with ludicrous hoods, black-out goggles and hearing suppressors. Placed in ritualistic positions on the floor of a C-130, they were flown to Cuba, specifically Camp X-Ray, Guantanamo Bay.

Here they were subjected to pure American sadism. That is, it was Israeli sadism administered by screaming American thugs, same as Abu Ghraib. The prisoners' entire life histories were already known by the American dictatorship, and so it was known months in advance that none of these prisoners was guilty of anything. And this was the whole point of the torture.

My wife, a medical doctor, realized that these innocent guys were the subjects of a big experiment. She had seen the same sort of thing in Veterans Administration hospitals. That is, our entire veteran population is an experimental group. They have little choice but to submit to whatever procedures the government chooses for them, because they are Communists in a Communist system. She thinks that anyone who submits to the AMA priesthood is performing in one pharmaceutical experiment or another and should be paid by the industry.

The first big American psychological experiment was the Korean War, in which our wonderful boys killed and were killed under the flag of the United Nations. That was an experiment right there, having American soldiers who'd grown up pledging allegiance to the flag, living and dying under the blue and white UN banner. No one complained that I know of. In league with our North Korean and Red Chinese puppets (they were, after all, put in business by the US government), American soldiers were experimented on in very unpleasant ways. Pavlov developed brainwashing in Russia under Lenin, doing his dog experiments on Russians and others victims of Jewish Communism but the ultimate targets are American men and "conditioned response" had to be tried out on them.

It must have worked pretty well because the infamy of the Korean War was that no American prisoner of war ever escaped from a North Korean prison. Lots of them got away from the Nazis and even the Japanese, but not a one of them got away from the North Korean psycho-prisons. Except I knew one who did.

Don G. was a mud engineer in the California oilfield when I met him in the late '70s. Someone said he'd been a prisoner of the North Koreans but wouldn't talk about his experience. He talked about it with me. Don and his group of forward observers were a little too close to the enemy soldiers, calling in coordinates for the artillery, when they were overrun. Most of his mates were killed but Don and a black sergeant from Houston were captured. Their ordeal became a nightmare that lasted several months. Both of them were interrogated and subjected to what became known as "brainwashing." Neither of them cooperated and both of them were beaten frequently. Other Americans who didn't cooperate were shot occasionally. Don and the sergeant were threatened with being shot and the sergeant told Don that if they didn't somehow get away they would doubtless soon be killed. Their crimes were an unwillingness to criticize their country in any way, even the Jim Crow policy the sergeant had experienced all his life. Misplaced loyalty!

Brainwashing is a fairly simple procedure, it turns out. It does require the victim to self-criticize. Once he does that, he can be switched into anything the brainwasher wants. So to get him to self-criticize the brainwasher gets him to criticize someone else, eventually a friend and finally himself. The key to avoid being brainwashed is never to criticize anyone other than the one who's trying to brainwash you. That's what Don and his friend kept doing, and that's why the Koreans were going to kill them.

Don and the other guy didn't actually escape from a prison camp but got away while in transit from one camp to another one in the dark of night. They dropped down in a depression in the path while the other prisoners trudged by. Then they headed south, for UN lines. Their first surprise was their reception by the American doctors, who were astonished that these two men escaped. They were the only ones. So the doctors interrogated them pretty heavily, trying to figure out their motivation to escape, since no one else had even tried it. Then they were sent to Letterman VA Hospital in San Francisco. Here, the psychiatrists seemed downright hostile and even offended that these two mavericks would get away from the North Koreans. Don was totally confused. His confusion soon turned to anger at his treatment by the army, which seemed to view him with suspicion. Over the next few years of hostile treatment and examination by army psychiatrists, Don became bitter, so much so that his wife divorced him and his family feared he was a brainwashed Communist. He was the exact opposite. But this is what happens to anyone who bucks the system in America - even an American.

Back to the British Moslems. And the Afghans and Pakistanis and what other Moslems were kidnapped and tortured by the army. All of them are innocent, which is the point of what we are doing to them. We torture them to find out what breaks them down, so as to devise some formula, some database, for controlling all Moslems. These British guys somehow survived the sadism and were eventually released. Hundreds are still in our gulags, interrogated daily by American morons whose knowledge of Islam comes from Jewish television programs. The same questions are asked, over and over, month after month, year after year. Confessions are demanded to non-existent crimes, just as the Soviets demanded them. All that is really wanted is a delta factor, some change in behavior or renunciation of Islam, ideally - which never happens. The Jews very much want to unplug Moslems from their religion, or figure new ways to turn Moslems against themselves and self-destruct, as they are doing in Jewish-ruled Iraq.

There are still five hundred or more Moslems in the US Naval prison at Guantanamo Bay. Ten of them have been charged with something and even those ten are totally innocent, compared with the Americans. The Brits were constantly ordered to confess to being members of "al-Qaeda," which most refused to do, even after the most revolting torture. They had no idea what al-Qaeda was or is. Only the CIA really knows what it is because "al-Qaeda" is a CIA word. We all were told years ago that "al-Qaeda" meant "base." I thought this meant base of operations, or fundamentalism or something deep. No. It means "database." Al-Qaeda is the CIA's computer list of mujahadin freedom fighters they were arming to defeat the Soviet occupiers of Afghanistan back in the '80s. Osama bin Laden was a paymaster and CIA-backed organizer of the fighters. The point is that the CIA knows exactly every name in the database because it's their database.

To force these innocent Brits, or any other Moslems, to confess that they are in al-Qaeda is CIA-Mossad brainwashing and psycho-conditioning. It is pure terrorism, as described by George Orwell in 1984. No one has described what the Moslems are up against as well as Orwell did in the final climactic scene in which Winston Smith is tortured by O'Brien. O'Brien explains that the object of torture is not to gain information but only to inflict pain. The only way to know for certain that a person is really under your control is if he is suffering. What the Jewish Bolsheviks did to the Russians, the Jewish Israelis to the Palestinians, the Judaized Americans are doing to the Iraqis and Moslems everywhere. Orwell warned us that this was our future, and it is. He was just too polite to describe it properly as Talmudic Judaism, what I call Jewish Rule. On behalf of Jewish Rule, George W. Bush is conducting a merciless war of extermination against all Moslems.

George W. Bush, as he revealed as governor of Texas, derives pleasure from torturing and murdering those under his total control. Read that 2000 Vanity Fair article in which he giggles and talks obscenely as he mimics Carla Faye Tucker as she begs for her life. This was about the time that he would cite Jesus as his inspiration.

I must admit that the murder of Saddam Hussein, dressed up as a routine execution, left me speechless, but everything that George W. Bush does leaves me somewhat dazed and without the power to describe exactly what he has done, or why. Of course, Saddam was lynched on Bush's orders, before he could speak of his dealings with Bush's father. Saddam and GHW Bush reportedly shared billions of dollars in kickbacks from the Kuwaitis and from various oil companies engaged in the region. Saddam was reportedly a major owner of Mercedes-Benz and therefore the Chrysler Corporation, among many others. He was supported by Bush, then head of CIA under "Gerald R. Ford, Jr." (Ford's actual name was Leslie Lynch King, Jr.) Saddam became Iraq's president in '79, during Carter's reign, but worked for Bush against the Iranians throughout the Reagan-Bush years.

GW Bush claimed he was angry with Saddam for trying to assassinate his "dad." But, as the ex-Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky has revealed, it was the Mossad that tried to assassinate Poppy Bush in '91, when he and Baker threatened to delay the ten billion dollar Israeli "loan guarantees" because of the crappy apartment houses they were greedily building on Palestinian land. I know - all of Israel is on Palestinian land. But Saddam never attempted to assassinate Bush, Sr. - it was the Jews, as usual. The little moron knows this full well but is incapable of anger at Jews so he pretended anger at Saddam, who was supposed to be murdered instead of being captured and tried. The CIA was in charge of Saddam's arrest and for some reason allowed him to live and threaten the Bush family secrets. I believe that this act was behind Bush's decision to dismantle the CIA and give its job to Rumsfeld's Pentagon. Rumsfeld - the guy who worked with Saddam and supplied him with chemical weapons against the Iranians in the '80s.

Saddam's murder was inevitable because he had to be silenced. His dignified, heroic attitude on the gallows has probably never been seen in our lifetimes, and may never be seen again - certainly on videotape. Some have claimed that we were actually seeing one of Saddam's doubles but that's not likely. But, whoever he was, he died well and showed the world the difference between a real man and an alcoholic mama's boy. As I predicted in an earlier essay, Saddam was subjected to Nuremberg-like treatment by his ski-masked enemies while the rope was put around his throat. Taunts and curses were yelled at him. Saddam's calm and manly comportment didn't give Bush anything to giggle about.

George W. Bush needs to experience the same treatment that, when he orders it, gives him sexual gratification, probably the only kind he can get. He needs to experience Jewish Rule from the other end of the rope. So does Cheney and every other war criminal under them.

Justice will be served only when Bush and his handlers are standing on the gallows in a smelly room, hard Manila ropes placed around their necks and the trap-doors let go beneath their feet. I dream of hearing the sound of their necks breaking.

Only the sound of their necks breaking will stop the nightmare they have created for the Moslem world, and the nightmare they plan for us. Bush and his gang have committed the worst war crimes in history, with the use of depleted uranium ammunition. They have consigned millions of us to very bad deaths, with four million pounds of uranium dust blowing through our lower atmosphere.

These monsters have already killed 700,000 Iraqis since Shock and Awe, plus thousands of Americans who helped kill them. The first Bush and Clinton killed over a million Iraqis with Desert Storm and their brutal starvation sanctions. The coming uranium deaths mean nothing to them. Kissinger, who is advising Bush, considers them stupid animals, pawns of foreign policymakers.

There is another group of Americans that needs to drop through the trap door: The Zionist radio talkers. Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, the Savage Wiener and all the rest who have screamed and urged the destruction of Moslems. The Wiener wants millions killed now. All of them call for the nuclear bombing of Iran. These loudmouths talk and talk, knowing that their homicidal words please the Israelis. They need to be shown that their vile words have consequences.

The first thing we must do is get it in our minds that all war criminals must be hanged. We must stop acting as we have been programmed to act for generations, which is to acquiesce in every evil policy and law made up by these sadistic criminals. We, too, have been part of a huge Zionist program in mind-control. So far, we have not broken the spell cast by these masters of horror. They have millions of Americans believing that American brutality is a good thing. I believe the only way to break the spell is to call for their hanging.

Saddam judge flees Iraq

Raouf Abdel-Rahman often struggled to keep control of the rowdy courtroom [Getty]

The Iraqi judge who sentenced Saddam Hussein to death has fled Iraq and sought asylum in the UK.

Al Jazeera's correspondent in London quoted British official sources as saying that Raouf Abdel-Rahman, a member of Iraq's Kurdish minority, has requested political asylum in Britain with his family.

Abdel-Rahman headed the Supreme Iraq Criminal Tribunal that heard Saddam's genocide trial and found the former Iraqi president guilty, leading to his execution.

Saddam was accused of killing more than a hundred Shia in the village of Dujail following a failed assassination attempt on him.

Saddam was hanged in the early hours of December 30.

Asylum plea

Nasir al-Badri, Al Jazeera's correspondent in London, reported that Abdel-Rahman has applied for political asylum and that the British Home Office was considering his application.

"We contacted the British Home Office to make sure whether he and his family have applied for asylum but they refused to comment, saying they did not comment on personal or private cases", al-Badri said.

"But the accredited sources we first talked to were 100 per cent sure they have examined some papers and documents Abdel-Rahman has presented besides an application for residence in Britain", he said.

Besides sending Saddam to the gallows, Abdel-Rahman had also sentenced two other top Saddam aides to death in the same trial.

The two were Saddam's half brother and former intelligence chief, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court.

They were found guilty along with Saddam of involvement in the Dujail killings in 1982

All Aboard The Arab
Holocaust Train
...Operated By Israel-Atlantic Union
By Hesham Tillawi, PhD
1-22-7

Saddam is dead, but Saddam's hanging had nothing to do with Saddam. Saddam is dead, but his death had nothing to do with how many people he killed or caused to die. All aboard, friends, Saddam's death is just one stop on this long Israeli train of Arab holocaust.

What exactly happened in that execution chamber? Inquiring people wanted to know. Who was there and what did they say? Was it Muqtada Al sader's people? Was it the Americans? Was it the Shiites? The inquiry goes on and on . The Media - TV, Radio, Print, Internet, and a plethora of talking heads all are concentrating on what will happen now between the Sunnis and Shiites. The Arab media is to be blamed before the Western media. The real story got buried in the sensational details of what took place during the hanging and the case was used to yet inflame sectarian violence amongst the Iraqi people.

Saddam, was hanged for Aldujail issue where 148 Iraqi Shiites lost their lives after an assassination attempt on his life while he was the president of Iraq, which occurred in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war: a war in which some of those arrested, tried, and condemned to die by a court of law admitted to being Iranian agents. Granted, it was a court system that was under Saddam's regime, but that was the only court system in the country at that time and the World accepted it. What about the other atrocities committed by Saddam's regime? And, by the way, that regime should not be singled out, because most regimes in the area will condemn to death those who try to assassinate their leaders. What about Halabjah and the gassing of the Kurds? Don't you think the Kurds wanted to try him for that too? As a matter of fact, Saddam was hanged in the middle of another trial known as Al-anfal issue.

What about the war with Iran, the invasion of Kuwait, the killing of Al-Sader, the killings of his own son-in-law and other relatives? After twenty-five years of Saddam's rule over Iraq, there was not even one question to Saddam about the handling of the affairs of Iraq under his rule. What could Saddam have said about all that? What would he have said about his dealings with the US and the CIA throughout his reign of power? The United States occupation forces that setup the kangaroo court and even approved the judges, and removed judges, who were deemed friendly to Saddam, tell us that it was a purely Iraqi decision to hang Saddam on the first day of Eid Al-adha, where, in fact, Iraqi laws prohibit the execution of anyone on that particular day. I am sure the Americans could have kept him for one more day if they wanted to. But hanging him on that day played well in the script of why we went to war against Iraq in the first place. So, why did we go over to Iraq destroyed the country, and killed its President?

The US army could have killed Saddam when they "captured" him, and that would have given Bush an extra feather in his hat, which he needed desperately at the time. But instead they kept him, for a much better use later. They took him out of the rat hole all drugged up and disoriented: I am not sure how he went in there to start with? Probably couple of marines had to use their boots to squeeze him down the hole, but that's another story. So, they brought him out and fed him well; all the American Raisin Bran, Cheetos, and Doritos he wanted. He hated Fruit Loops, and wouldn't touch Cheetos after he found Doritos. They gave it to him by the bag full, and as a good boy he would go into a corner of his cell and eat it all, in ten minutes. Robert Ellis was a military nurse with one wartime assignment. "Make sure he stays alive" Ellis was told by his superiors. " That was my job: to keep him alive and healthy, so they could kill him later." Ellis said. Saddam once asked Ellis" Why did the Americans invade Iraq?" And that is the tragedy of Arab leaders. A president of what once was the strongest and most technological Arab country had no clue why he was invaded and his country destroyed. How many other Arab leaders have no clue of what's coming to them?

Saddam's hanging had nothing to do with Saddam. Chew on the following: In his Complete Diaries, Vol. II. p. 711, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, says that the area of the Jewish State stretches: "From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates." Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony to the U.N. Special Committee of Enquiry on 9 July 1947: "The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon."

I will discuss four documents of interest here, which should shed some lights on this long Israeli night train to Pandemonium. The first was translated by Israel Shahak from Hebrew back in 1982 entitled " A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties" Shahak wrote: "This strategy paper plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must become an imperial regional power, and 2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states." This document is a detailed document of Israel's strategy for the Middle East, which is based on breaking up Arab countries into small, weak, and ethnically structured states.

The Document stated: " The existence, prosperity and steadfastness of the Jewish state will depend upon its ability to adopt a new framework for its domestic and foreign affairs." "All the Arab States east of Israel are torn apart, broken up and riddled with inner conflict." "Iraq is, once again, no different in essence from its neighbors, although its majority is Shi'ite and the ruling minority Sunni. Sixty-five percent of the population has no say in politics, in which an elite of 20 percent holds the power. In addition there is a large Kurdish minority in the north, and if it weren't for the strength of the ruling regime, the army and the oil revenues, Iraq's future state would be no different than that of Lebanon in the past or of Syria today. The seeds of inner conflict and civil war are apparent today already, especially after the rise of Khomeini to power in Iran, a leader whom the Shiites in Iraq view as their natural leader."

"Iraq, rich in oil on the one hand and internally torn on the other, is guaranteed as a candidate for Israel's targets. Its dissolution is even more important for us than that of Syria. Iraq is stronger than Syria. In the short run it is Iraqi power, which constitutes the greatest threat to Israel. An Iraqi-Iranian war will tear Iraq apart and cause its downfall at home even before it is able to organize a struggle on a wide front against us. Every kind of inter-Arab confrontation will assist us in the short run and will shorten the way to the more important aim of breaking up Iraq into denominations as in Syria and in Lebanon. In Iraq, a division into provinces along ethnic/religious lines as in Syria during Ottoman times is possible. So, three (or more) states will exist around the three major cities: Basra, Baghdad and Mosul, and Shi'ite areas in the south will separate from the Sunni and Kurdish north. It is possible that the present Iranian-Iraqi confrontation will deepen this polarization." As you see here in simple English Israel planned along time ago to break up Iraq. Now we move to Israel's plan of attack. Since Israel was unable to accomplish the task of breaking up Iraq on its own therefore, it had to give the job to a surrogate power. That power of course is the U.S.

The second document was prepared back in 1992 by the Cheney Defense Department under the administration of George H.W.Bush and came to be known publicly as the Defense planning Guidance (DPG), crafted then by would be infamous, I. Lewis Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, and Zalmay Khalilzad. James Mann,author of the 2004 book: The Rise of the Vulcans, reported that these men were given the task of devising the DPG, a classified document that outlines U.S. military strategies and provides a framework for developing the defense budget. Libby and Wolfowitz were given the task of devising a new framework for the U.S. policy in the post cold-war era. Khalilzad, a long time aid to Wolfowitz was given the task of drafting the report, probably just to have a Muslim in the midst of this complicated policy paper. Other participants in this project were Richard Pearle, and Albert Wohlstetter who was credited by many to be Wolfowitz and Pearle mentor.

The main points of this document were: Massive increase in defense spending, the U.S. is the only superpower in the World, prevent any regional power from challenging the U.S., the use of preventive or preemptive force to protect U.S. interests, and interfering in disputes throughout the World even when the U.S. is not involved in these disputes. They stated that the United States should â¤retain the preeminent responsibility for addressing selectively those wrongs which threaten not only our interests, but those of our allies or friends, or which could seriously disrupt international relations. Israel is referred to as an ally and a friend of the U.S. by most government officials in America every chance they get. Just keep this in mind as you follow this plan, which took 10 years to implement. When news of the plan was first leaked out to the public in 1992, the White House publicly rejected it and distanced itself from the people who worked on it. Interestingly enough the men who were an outcast during the rein of Bush the father, became the rulers of the White House during the rein of Bush the son, who also thinks of himself as the holy ghost.

In 1996 another document was prepared by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies by the "Study Group on a New Israeli Strategy Toward 2000" Wolfowitz and Pearle among others drafted the document entitled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" this document was a straight forward strategy paper or a plan of what Israel should do to become the only regional power in the Middle East. The document stated: "Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq â¤" an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right-" This clearly proves that the removal of Saddam Hussein from power is an Israeli plan that took place long before September 11, 2001. It was also written: "Israel can make a clean break from the past and establish a new vision for the U.S.-Israeli partnership based on self-reliance, maturity and mutuality - not one focused narrowly on territorial disputes - Israel's 'new strategy' based on a shared philosophy of peace through strength. In other words its time for Israel to step up and claim "what is rightfully hers", the foreign policy of the United States based on the premise that AIPAC is in total control of Congress, and other institutions such as JINSA are in control of policy. Israel no longer needs to operate behind the scenes. This document was written specifically for then Israeli Prime-minister, Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide for Israeli foreign policy. When presented to then President Clinton, he did not accept it and refused to make a move in the removal of Saddam. It was no surprise that most of these so called neocons, Zionist Jews, ended up securing the Realm in George W Bush's administration making the decision on their own to remove Saddam. Douglas Feith who ended up running the office of Special Plans at the Pentagon under Wolfowitz, who was Rumsfeld's Deputy Secretary of Defense in the first G. W. Bush administration. This occurred during the run-up to the war on Iraq where the Niger Uranium story was fabricated and used as one of the pretences to attack Iraq. There were other well known Zionists with sensitive policy making positions such as David Wurmser, who was appointed by Vice-president Cheney as Middle East Advisor, and James Colbert, Communication Director of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

You might wonder how these Zionists sold the idea of destroying Iraq for Israel to others in the United States who may not be as enthusiastic about making such a decision for Israel's benefit. This is not the problem it might appear to be. There are always other documents of a similar nature that could be churned up to fit the U.S. psyche. This brings us up to the fourth document that was prepared by the same cabal, The Project for the New American Century This document was based on the 1992 Defense planning Guidance(DPG) and renewed few months before Bushâ¤s regime was installed in 2000 by a single manâ¤s vote in the 5-4 supreme court decision. Like the old 1992 document this one called for: An attack on Iraq and the removal of Saddam regime, huge increase in military budget, establishing new American military bases all over the world, stressing the concept of "pre-emptive war" and unilateral action as a strategic policy by circumventing the UN. As you can see the plan to attack Iraq was planned years before the planes hit the towers and at a time when Bin Laden was an American asset. As you can see this plan looks pretty good for the American appetite for world hegemony.

Looking at the list of signatories to the Project for the New American Century makes one understand better what happened in Florida in 2000 with the presidential election. These people had to win in order for 9/11 to take place, Iraq and Saddam destroyed, and the rest of the Arab countries to start the count down to capitulation to Israel. Here is a partial list of signatories to this document, and the positions they held at the start of the war: Dick Cheney, became Vice-President, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense, I. Lewis Libby, Chief of Staff to Dick Cheney, Peter Rodman, Assistant to Secretary of Defense, Elliot Abrams, Bush's National security advisor, Richard Perle, member of Bush's Defense policy Board, Jeb Bush, the president's brother, Paula Dobriansky, Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs, Peter Rodman, Rumsfeld's Assistant for International Security Affairs, Randy Scheunemann, Advisor to Rumsfeld in Iraq, and others. I don't know why we call them neocons, they are old cons. There is one striking similarity between these people:

The vast majority of them are Jewish, and all of them are Likudnics who think of Israel's welfare before that of the U.S. These people have been planning this for over a quarter of a century, and when the time was right, they all got in their predefined positions and executed the plan perfectly. Once they started the domino effect of sectarian violence in Iraq, they can sit back and watch the rest of the Arab World follow suit, or that is what they hoped would happen?

Some people might say, "Here we go again, blaming everything on the Zionist Jews". I say, they are wrong. The documents, the people, their ideology, the positions they held, their hatred, their ambitions, and their names say so; I am just making words out of alphabets. But I will leave you with what representative James Moran of Virginia, who lost his Democratic leadership post, told supporters that the "Jewish community" was responsible for the war. The Realm is secured.

They lynched Saddam on the basis of the lies they told about him. You know what this means, of course. This is a clear announcement that they WILL kill you on the basis of the lies they tell about you. And still you slumber.

Justice is long gone from the law courts of the corporate West, maybe from all courts in the world. Pretense and perverted purpose are in complete control. Maybe it has always been this way. You may ponder this at the funeral of your next dead relative, or the next time somebody hands you a petition. Just tell them they never work.

I see the independent voices being snuffed out one by one, a macabre procession of bullets in the brains of Hunter S. Thompson, Gary Webb, and Ron Brown. Those who continue to write authoritatively are using a formula to distance Js from Zs, to conceal the real culprits

The issue is freedom of speech. The key point is understanding the Js existed long before the Zs, and the Z scam is just like the Communism scam. What has been blamed on the Germans is actually a J invention. The larger picture from the mid-1800s, when they failed in their attempt to split the United States with a Civil War, reveals a massive infiltration that created this mindlock that a small group should create and control the wars and use everybody else as cannon fodder.

Every single person you see on television is employed by this group. And very likely so are you, perhaps in some subterranean way that maybe even you don’t know about. More than likely you do.

After more than 100 years of practice, the mechanisms for diversion of attention are very sophisticated. Every movie, every song, crafted for your consumption and with a purpose — to erode the fabric of what exists for profit in an endless planetwide war on life itself. In a world where deceit deceives itself, the shadow — being a perception of fear — must destroy the object that casts it.

But for most, it’s simply too big to see. When we’ve been brought up on tribal principles that define our basic world view, it’s very difficult to understand that these principles actually create the problems that threaten us. Justifying crime in the name of national defense is the usual excuse. Thus, the War on Terror.

There is an algebraic equation everybody needs to compute. Professor Kevin MacDonald outlines the idea that neoconservatism is essentially a Jewish movement. Therefore, why when talking about the neocons is the motivating factor never mentioned?

But this is how history has proceeded. Surely all of it couldn’t have been triggered by the same group?

Here is the razor’s edge of contemporary sociopolitical thought. So many people beseech me to say this isn’t the fault of one group. And that it is the question: Is it us, or is it them? Have we with our very behavior created this war machine that plunders and poisons, or is it the war machine that has created the heartless automatons we have become?

I offer only one piece of evidence that is the key to making the leap to understanding what is going on. Consider the world today.

Freedom of speech exists in Iran, but not in the United States or most of Europe.

One old friend who has spent most of his life running on the backroads surprised me when he confided, “I’m shocked at the amount of publicity that questions about the Holocaust are getting these days. I never thought it would have been possible.”

Coming from him, an itinerant intellectual who had done the dance with some of the real archons of the underground individualist movement that exists in all times and places, it raised my eyebrows. Then he added with a twinkle in his eye, “Maybe they don’t really control the media after all.”

I was stunned. Could it still be possible that truth could prevail in this twisted day and age where bombs are dropped on the basis of lies that are told? Where no-longer-useful tinhorn dictators are executed on the basis of the fictions that have been foisted on the public?

I looked at him and grinned. Here was a guy who had lived in the real world, the dirty world where things are done that you wouldn’t tell your family. He knew that the distant target of his .243 Wetherbee rifle had a family, but that was irrelevant — this was business.

We both knew that all the bases were covered, that any serious attempt at creating genuine freedom from this succubus that sucks the world into its own shadow would quickly bring a horde of lemming parasites to destroy the idea, to convert it to its own uses. Failing that, the usual pattern of outraged protest, besmirchment, stonewalling, blackmailing, bribery and if necessary murder would follow. The difference between us, I guess, was that he believed this was a tribal phenomenon whereas I had always felt it was specieswide amongst humans.

And this became the great question of our time: Have we been guided into the position we’re in, or did we get here all by ourselves?

The most real question pertaining to the development of human society at the beginning of the 21st century anno domini has recently been discussed exhaustively in, of all places, Tehran, Iran. Credit must go to an Iranian society that can forthrightly discuss ALL matters of history and not be unduly influenced by the financial influence exerted on Western capitalist governments by the international J banking cartel that has turned World Bank-controlled human society into a charnel house of depopulation for profit.

This is where the bottom line intersects with your anatomy. If you live in Iraq, the method of this transmission is usually a bullet, one of too many horrors to behold there. In our media drugged coma we hear the empty rationales of the war on terror and realize that it’s just a hollow pose for profit, in which we sacrifice our children. That’s positively Molochean, he being the evil beast that poses as Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, and Almighty God as well as a welter of other pseudonyms.

It is precisely here where the tapestry of lies that rule capitalist/religious prison society begins to unravel. A very serious lie has been perpetrated on everybody. And, as with so many other tribal inventions, it has changed the very nature of reality and history.

In no single historical event is the J stranglehold on the world’s financial system better vivified and ritualized that in the thousands of Holocaust Museums that have sprung up around the world like so many mushrooms on the moonscape our beautiful world has become. The future will regard these mental mausoleums as Houses of the Lie, which numerous experts recently explained to their gracious and intelligent host, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Comparing the presidents of the two nations, the United States and Iran, is startling.

Mr. Ahmadinejad is an intellectual and caring father at home in the world saying let us speak the truth about history and realize the influences that assail us. Mr. Bush is the latest preprogrammed lieutenant from a demented line of warmakers descended from World War I arms dealer Samuel Walker, and not what you would call a family man, except in the corporate sense. See http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,418660,00.html

The presentation in Tehran was notable for two remarkable occurrences.

David Duke burst upon the world scene with forthright analyses of Jewish control of world media, demolishing CNN’s Mossad-controlled Wolf Blitzer and other Ziomedia zombies in the process. His continuing eloquence in these matters increasingly overshadows the aspersions heaped upon him — and all the other free speech martyrs languishing in German jails — by the J media spin machine.

What the Holocaust conference in Iran really accomplished was a definitive, scientific proof that Hitler and the Germans NEVER developed a plan to exterminate anyone. Their so-called Final Solution was deportation to Palestine, to rid German society of Jewish influences which had ruled Germany cruelly and to unfair advantage stemming from the Jewish-devised Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I and guaranteed endless wars to come.

This argument has always been best articulated by a man known as the dean of Holocaust Revisionists, retired Professor Robert K. Faurisson of the University of Lyon, who at age 78 — after a half century of being beaten and having his jaw broken by J thugs, and fresh from his moral victory in court in France — was never stronger or more articulate.

“The holocaust is a put up job done by the Jews,” he concluded.

Faurisson concluded in 1980: “The alleged Hitlerite gas chambers and the alleged genocide of the Jews form one and the same historical lie, which has permitted a gigantic political and financial swindle whose main beneficiaries are the state of Israel and international Zionism and whose main victims are the German people - but not their leaders - and the Palestinian people in their entirety.”

Thirty-seven years later, his contentions have only been verified and deepened.

” … the “Holocaust” remains the lone official religion of the entire West, a murderous religion if ever there was one. And one that continues to fool millions of good souls in the crudest ways: the display of heaps of eyeglasses, hair, shoes or valises presented as “relics” of the “gassed”, faked or deceptively exploited photographs, texts of innocuous papers altered or purposely misinterpreted, endless proliferation of monuments, ceremonies, shows, the drumming of the Shoah into our heads as early as primary school, organised excursions to the holy sites of alleged Jewish martyrdom and great show trials with their calls for lynch-law.

This white-haired professor of French symbolist poets dominated the Tehran conference with the same basic questions he has been asking for 30 years.

• “Show me or draw me a Nazi gas chamber.”

(In today’s context, the question could well be, “Show me Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.”)

• “Bring me one proof, one single piece of evidence of your own choosing, on the grounds of which to assert that there was a genocide.”

• “Bring me one testimony, one single testimony, the best one in your opinion.”

The purveyors of propaganda who spout the term anti-Semitism battle mightily to blot out the truth. And yet they have failed. Faurisson explains:

First in France and later in a number of other countries in Europe, these accusers have called for the passing of special laws to silence the revisionists. Here they have sealed their doom. To resort to special laws, to the police and prisons is to admit one’s utter inability to use the arguments of reason, history and science.

A hundred other arguments again could be recalled here to prove that, on the plane of history and science, the immense edifice of lies put up by the “Holocaust” or “Shoah” sect has been thrown down, with not one stone left upon another. In contrast to this expanse of ruins, we have seen the construction of a whole revisionist literature. In it can be discovered a profusion of documents, photographs, expert studies, trial transcripts, technical and scientific reports, testimonies, statistical studies, all of which bearing on a hundred aspects of the history of the Second World War that show what the lot of the European Jews was in reality, and demonstrate in striking manner that the Jewish version of that war is largely of the order of myth.

Faurisson demolishes the idea that the Germans “gassed” anyone at Auschwitz.

• They cannot invoke a single document proving the crime.

• They are unable to provide the least representation of the crime weapon.

• They do not possess any proof nor even any evidence.

• They cannot name a single truthful witness

Faurisson calls the Holocaust myth “one of the greatest lies in history.”

It has served to justify the creation in the land of Palestine of a warlike colony that has taken the name of “Jewish State” and endowed itself with a “Jewish Army”. It imposes on the Western world the yoke of a Jewish or Zionist tyranny bringing itself to bear in fields of intellectual, academic & media activity.

It poisons the very soul of a great country, Germany. It has allowed the extortion from the latter, as well as from a good number of other Western countries, of exorbitant sums in marks, in dollars or in euros. It overwhelms us with films, with museums, with books that keep the flame of a Talmudic-style hatred burning.

It makes it possible to call for an armed crusade against “the axis of evil” and, for this, to fabricate, on demand, the most shameless lies precisely in the pattern of the Great Lie of the “Holocaust”, for there is no difference between Adolf Hitler’s “weapons of mass destruction” and those of Saddam Hussein.

It makes it possible to accuse nearly the whole world and to demand “repentance” and “reparations” everywhere, either for alleged actions directed against “Yahweh’s chosen people”, an alleged complicity in the crime, or an alleged general indifference to the fate of the Jews during the Second World War. Under its belt it has a glut of rigged trials, beginning with the loathsome Nuremberg trial. It has sanctioned thousands of hangings of defeated soldiers, an atrocious post-war Purge, the deportation of millions of civilians chased from their ancestral homelands, indescribable pillaging, tens of thousands of scandalous legal proceedings, including those carried out today against octogenarians or nonagenarians, attacked by “miraculous” Jewish survivors giving their false testimony.

Born in 1929 of a French father and a Scottish mother, Faurisson taught classical letters (French, Latin, Greek) before specializing first in the analysis of modern and contemporary French literary texts and, finally, in the appraisal of texts and documents (literature, history, media). He was professor at the Sorbonne and the University of Lyon. Because of his historical revisionist stands, he was effectively forbidden from teaching. He has incurred many convictions in the law courts and has suffered ten physical assaults. In France, access to the press, radio and television is barred to him, as it is to all revisionists.

Some Internet radio talk show hosts who pretend to be sincere insist we may not talk about the Holocaust lest we offend our J benefactors.

Understanding how the facts of history have been manipulated for the profits of a perverted few is essential to understanding all the other lies: Iraq, Afghanistan, and 9/11, to name only a few of the recent attacks upon our freedom of thought.

The Holocaust is the central lie of our time that must be understood in all its complexity if real peace is ever again to prevail in our world. Otherwise, Saddam’s fate is truly our own.

..: The Sacrifice of Saddam :..

January 3, 2007

http://www.kawther.info/K20070103A.html

-> Home (more articles)

On the first day of Eid Al-Adha Al-Mubarak, 1.5 billions of moderate Muslims have been insulted in their Islamic faith, insulted in their human dignity, and insulted because of their identification with Muslim traditions and culture. For millions of secular Muslims, who do not practice the religion but who nonetheless live their lives according to culture and traditions rooted in the Islamic faith, their way of life has equally been deeply disrespected by the execution of Saddam Hussein on the first day of Eid Al-Adha.

If the criterion is Crimes against Humanity, when will he hang ???

The big sacrilege was in the choice of the date of Saddam s execution. The criminal governments of USA and Israel made the illegal choice of the date of Saddam s execution, so much is clear. Moreover, the disgusting government of Iraq made up of the gang of hirelings and traitors around Mr. ‘Darkness Al-Maliki’ (his actual name, 'Nur', means light in Arabic) implemented this decision, which would never have been taken by real Iraqi government. The astonishing depravity of this vile sacrilege could only have been thought out by those high priests of misery who live all over the West Bank and go by self-adjudicated, respect-conferring titles like “Rabbi” (teacher) or “Tzaddik” (pious one). Only they have at the same time the necessary knowledge of religious traditions, the unmitigated hate of anything Islamic and a poisonous psyche permeated by that trait typical of the behavior of psychopaths and which has been elevated by these zionist Jews to a cultural institution under the name of chutzpah, while they themselves arguably live in apostasy to everything Judaism stands for. This and the hairsplitting around the legality of the execution or whether “before dawn” of this special day qualified as beginning of the Eid, it all points to these moral degenerates and their political zionist brethren in high positions in the US and other western regimes as the intellectual perpetrators, and the Americans and their Iraqi hirelings as the willing executors of this incredible sacrilege.

The president of the filthy and evil Iraqi “government” has violated the most elemental sacredness of the holy day of Eid Al-Adha Al-Mubarak. On this day, the Islamic faith forbids torturing, killing or humiliating another person. It is a holy festivity, just like the Easter festivities are holy for Christians. There is a big possibility that Mr. Al-Maliki received some millions $ from the USA and Israel for his dirty mission.

In order to understand what they did and why it is a sacrilege, which goes beyond the purely religious dimension, here is the pertinent quotation from the book of Genesis, Chapter 22, which is the basis to Eid Al-Adha, the Muslim Hajj, and which is basis for religious teachings of Christianity:

Genesis 22 - The Sacrifice of Isaac (click for original)

22:1 some time after these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am!” Abraham replied.
22:2 God said “Take your son – your only son, whom you love, Isaac– and go to the land of Moriah! Offer him up there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will indicate to you.”
22:3 early in the morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took two of his young servants with him, along with his son Isaac. When he had cut the wood for the burnt offering, he started out for the place God had spoken to him about.
22:4 on the third day Abraham caught sight of the place in the distance.
22:5 so he said to his servants, “You two stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go up there. We will worship and then return to you.”
22:6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on his son Isaac. Then he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and the two of them walked on together.
22:7 Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father?” “What is it, my son?” he replied. “Here are the fire and the wood,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
22:8 “God will provide for himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” Abraham replied. The two of them continued together.
22:9 when they came to the place God had told him about, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood on it. Next, he tied up his son Isaac and placed him on the altar on top of the wood.
22:10 Then Abraham reached out his hand, took the knife, and prepared to slaughter his son.
22:11 But the Lord’s angel called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Here I am!” he answered.
22:12 “Do not harm the boy!” the angel said. “Do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God because you did not withhold your son, your only son, from me.”
22:13 Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. Therefore, he went over and got the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place “The Lord provides.” It is said to this day, “In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.”

The basis of Eid Al-Adha and the Hajj in Islamic scripture is in the Sura of As-Saaffat, verses 102 through 107, quoted below:

Sura of As-Saaffat, verses 102 through 107 (click for original)

102
YUSUFALI: Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practicing Patience and Constancy!"
PICKTHAL: And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thickest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
SHAKIR: And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! Surely, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! Do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.

103
YUSUFALI: So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
PICKTHAL: Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
SHAKIR: So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,

104
YUSUFALI: We called out to him "O Abraham!
PICKTHAL: We called unto him: O Abraham!
SHAKIR: And we called out to him saying: O Abraham!

105
YUSUFALI: "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - Thus indeed do we reward those who do right?
PICKTHAL: Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! Thus, do we reward the good?
SHAKIR: You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do we reward the doers of good:

106
YUSUFALI: For this was obviously a trial-
PICKTHAL: Lo! That verily was a clear test.
SHAKIR: Most surely, this is a manifest trial.

107
YUSUFALI: And we ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
PICKTHAL: Then we ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
SHAKIR: And we ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.

If the criterion is Crimes against Humanity, when will he hang ???

Eid Al-Adha is the festivity or ceremony of the sacrifice, during which Muslims celebrate the sacrifice made by Abraham to save his Son Ismael. The symbolism of this is paramount, as Martyrdom is conceived as a sacrifice to save the Nation and its freedom.
This festivity originates in the writings of the Holy Koran and the Holy Bible. It is the story (quoted above from the Genesis in the Old Testament) of Abraham, the father of the Prophets, and his son Ismael. While there is contention between the Islamic and Christian religions as to whether the son mentioned in the story is Ismael or Isaac, the symbolic teachings of the episode are clear for both the Muslim and the Christian faiths.

On this day Muslims must remember the story of the father of the prophets and Master Abraham, who dreamt of slaughtering his son Ismael as a sacrifice to God, but his hand was stopped by Gods Angel when he readied to slaughter his son on the pire. God sent him a ram to be slaughtered instead of his son. The symbolic teaching of this holy story is very clear: It is forbidden by God to slaughter human beings. Eid Al-Adha, the festivity of the sacrifice, is meant for all Muslims to remember the divine prohibition against human sacrifice. It is also an occasion during which pardons are customarily granted to criminals and forgiveness is plasticized in personal matters. To remember the expiatory ram sent by God to Abraham, sheep and goats aged over one year are slaughtered and their meat is shared among relatives and with the poor.

Whatever Saddam Hussein was, what ever he did in Iraq, it did not give justify violating the fundamental sacredness of the holy day of Eid Al-Adha. Saddam was slaughtered on a holy day on which killing humans is forbidden. Symbolically, killing Saddam on this day was the equivalent of a re-introduction of human sacrifice against Gods will, and, since in the Muslim tradition during this festivity only animals to be eaten can be slaughtered, killing Saddam on this day is also the equivalent of slandering all Muslims, religious or not, as cannibals. In the language of symbols, Saddam was killed in place of the expiatory ram of the religious scriptures.

Imagine, if you will, that the Chilean government had decided to execute former dictator Augusto Pinochet on Holy Saturday, just before the Pope started the Easter Vigil in Vatican City. How would a Christian describe their feeling after that ?

From here, all Muslims felt insulted in their faith and cultural identity by the execution of Saddam Hussein.

What I want to say is that the timing of Saddam Hussein execution was chosen to coincide with a holy moment for all the Muslims in world, which is commemorated by Muslims with the same respect and veneration as Christians observe the Easter festivities. Everybody, Christian or Muslim, should respect Easter and Eid Al-Adha as sacrosanct. Killings and executions are forbidden on these occasions. Saddam symbolically became the sheep of Eid Al-Adha, which the criminal extremists of the U.S and Israel decide to slaughter. This is the real face of the US occupation. Saddam Hussein was executed in this way because he had frightened the criminals of the U.S and Israel. He frightened them when he was a leader and when he was in jail. They thought that his execution would perhaps take away from their worries, clean the shame of the defeat which they have brought upon themselves.

We have understood the insult conveyed to us by the execution of Saddam. However, what neither the U.S nor Israel do understand is that the Arab nations will never say yes to the American and to the Israeli occupations, even if all the Arab “leaders” become dogs at the farm of George Bush (what they certainly are, figuratively speaking).

If the criterion is Crimes against Humanity, when will he hang ???

The root of the zionist subversion of western politics are the same reprobate poseurs who terrorize the Palestinian population day after day in the West Bank and Gaza. The common ideology and the lines of influence can be traced from specific illegal settlements and yeshivas in the West Bank, from specific persons residing illegally in the West Bank often enough known by name and address, to influence circles in Tel Aviv, London, Washington, New York, Canberra and many other places, and directly into the boards of many of the corporations well known for their economic depredations around the world, as well as to persons very active in the international economic and political spheres but who are less well known to the public, if at all as “philanthropists” or “oligarchs”.

The ideology espoused by these circles is old-testamentary, racist and brutal: hate the ‘other’ as you love their material possessions, denigrate and insult the social religious and moral values of the ‘other’, provoke and kill your political opponents whenever possible. The zionist circles who live this ideology draw the religious justification for their behavior not from the lessons of forgiveness in the religious scriptures, but from the bloodiest passages of the biblical old testament in which Yahweh commands his people to kill, rape and plunder their way across the land. Understanding their ideologic background explains why Augusto Pinochet died of old age while Saddam and his sons were hounded to death: Pinochet never opposed the designs of the zionists and he even facilitated the sellout of his country to interests aligned with them, but Saddam was an obstacle to their pipe dreams of “Greater Israel”.

In Islamic history we have never heard that a prisoner was executed or killed by his own government on the day of Eid Al-Adha. We always heard that prisoners were released and that pardons were dispensed to people guilty of crimes and offenses some days before the ceremonies of this Eid started. On this day, Muslims are allowed to slaughter goats and send the meat to neighbors and the poor people. How could we not understand the terror message sent to us by way of the sacrifice of Saddam by the USA and their Israeli and Iraqi allies ?

Saddam was the last courageous Arab leader who did not buckle under to Israel and the USA. He was the only leader who twice sent his military to fight the criminal terrorists of Israel. Whatever Saddam Hussein did, he was a leader and a war prisoner. The USA and their CIA supported him for a long time, ultimately he had to die because he knew many of the disgusting secrets of these people. Saddam said no to Israel and USA. His country was rich of oil. This was the reason behind the occupation of Iraq and his execution. Despite all the propaganda and outright lies of the expensively clothed commentators of all the corporate media, the people in West know that the agenda being executed “in their name” in Iraq has nothing to do with “democracy” or “terror”. Most people know exactly that what is happening there is motivated by exactly two factors: the irrational greed of the American oil transnationals, and much more prominently the influence of the criminal zionist elements which have subverted the American and Israeli political landscapes.

The choice of religious celebration clearly shows which is their world vision when compared with the other prevailing religions: Christianity celebrates Easter as a symbolic reminder of the death and resurrection of Jesus symbolizing hope; the world of Islam celebrates Eid Al-Adha to remember the already mentioned story from the scriptures symbolizing forgiveness; Judaism celebrates
Pessach to commemorate the escape from slavery under the Egyptian Pharaoh. But zionist jews celebrate the mass murder of 75.000 of their political opponents (women, children and old men included) as related in chapter 9 of the book of Esther.

These two terrorists countries perpetrated many crimes against humanity, the daily killings in Iraq and Palestine continue. Every week the USA kills in Iraq more people than Saddam Hussein killed during all of his leadership in Iraq. According to known to lie US sources, in 2006 over 14.300 people were killed in Iraq. According to more reliable sources, the number of dead because of Bush and his accomplices in December of 2006 alone must be over 18.000 persons.

Saddam was convicted for the killing of 148 Shias after a failed assassination attempt in 1982. Former Chilean military leader Augusto Pinochet died last month from the complications of a heart attack. Pinochet was involved in killing more than 3,000 people during his repressive 17-year rule, and he tortured thousands. Pinochet and his family also stole millions from the Chilean people, embezzled public funds and failed to declare taxes, but he was supported to the end by the USA.

But Saddam Hussein sent his military twice to fight against Israel, that was the real reason behind destroying Iraq and killing thousands of Iraqis, and at last executing him. Everybody understands and sees the disgusting terrorist face of the USA except the corrupt “leaders” of many western nations. The people of these nations are not stupid, despite the corruption of these politicians. Bush’s rant that “Saddam’s execution was an important milestone on the country's path to democracy” is a clear lie. If he is right in his saying, then he should be executed for killing thousands of Iraqis. He should be executed for the deteriorated situation which his “democracy” brought to Iraq. The same goes for all those self-anointed "leaders" who babble about "bringing democracy" or "pacifying" this or that country which had no problems before they sent their armies.

The Israeli war criminals should also be executed for the uncounted massacres they perpetrated in Lebanon and Palestine. The execution of the Israeli war criminals is very important for achieving justice and peace. Israel is a big threat for peace and justice in the world, not only in Palestine and the Middle East.

If the criterion is Crimes against Humanity, when will he hang ???

The victims of the Israeli and the American occupations will never give up, they will request the execution of these criminals, if not today, then tomorrow. Perhaps the face of this black history will change and real justice will replace the false American democracy. Hopefully, we will see Mr. Bush and the Israeli leaders executed for the next celebration of Purim.

Saddam's Final Months

The Australian 1-1-7

ST LOUIS - In his final months, Iraqi dictator (Read: duly-elected President -ed) Saddam Hussein wrote poetry, told of reading his children bedtime stories and fed birds crusts of bread saved from his meals, according to the US medical nurse who cared for him.

Master Sergeant Robert Ellis was the senior medical adviser at the compound near Baghdad where Saddam and other "high-value detainees" were held. Sergeant Ellis, 56, an operating room nurse, said he was ordered to do whatever was needed to keep Saddam alive.

"That was my job - to keep him alive and healthy, so they could kill him at a later date," he said.

Sergeant Ellis said Saddam was confined to a 2m-by-2.4m cell in solitary confinement at Camp Cropper. He had a single bed and a small table where he kept some books and a Koran, two plastic chairs, a prayer rug and two wash basins.

Saddam told Sergeant Ellis cigars and coffee kept his blood pressure down, and it seemed to work. Saddam would insist that Sergeant Ellis smoke with him.

At one point, Saddam went on a hunger strike, refusing to eat when the guards would slide food through the slot on the bottom of his door. But when they changed tactics and opened the door, he started eating again.

"He refused to be fed like a lion," Sergeant Ellis said.

When he was allowed short periods outside, Saddam would feed the birds crusts of bread saved from his meals. He also watered a dusty plot of weeds.

"He said he was a farmer when he was young and he never forgot where he came from," Sergeant Ellis said.

He said Saddam never gave him trouble, and didn't complain much - and if he did, it was usually legitimate.

"He had very good coping skills," Sergeant Ellis said.

The Barbaric Lynching of President Saddam Hussein
Press Statement

By Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

Global Research, January 1, 2007

On the Holy day of Eid, the world watched in horror at the barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq, allegedly for crimes against humanity. This public murder was sanctioned by the War Criminals, President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

This sadistic act broadcasted to the whole world is a travesty of justice, and was meant to demonstrate the imperial power of the United States and serves as a warning to peace loving peoples that we must either bow to the dictates of the Bush regime or face the consequences of a public lynching.

The lynching was also an insult to all Muslims, as it occurred on the Holy Day of Eid, whereby Muslims devote themselves to prayer and forgiveness. It is all too clear that the war criminal Bush has no sensitivities whatsoever for Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca. This barbaric act is a sacrilege!

The entire trial process was a mockery of justice, no less a Kangaroo Court. Defence counsels were brutally murdered, witnesses threatened and judges removed for being impartial and replaced by puppet judges. Yet, we are told that Iraq was invaded to promote democracy, freedom and justice.

A peaceful country has now been turned into a war zone. Over 500,000 children died as a result of the criminal economic sanctions, and the latest findings by the medical journal, Lancet reveals that over 650,000 Iraqis have died since the illegal invasion of 2003.

The War Criminal Bush has killed more Iraqis than President Saddam ever did, if in fact he was guilty of any crime. If President Saddam Hussein is guilty of war crimes, then the world must find Bush, Blair and Howard equally guilty and the International Criminal Court cannot but prosecute these war criminals. The inaction thus far by the International Criminal Court against Bush, Blair and Howard exposes the double standard of the said Court, when it does not hesitate to prosecute war crimes committed in Dalfur, Rwanda and Kosovo.

If we support human rights and justice, we must condemn this barbaric lynching of President Saddam Hussein. There can be no excuse whatsoever for this injustice under any circumstances. War Criminal Bush and the puppet regime in Iraq have made a mockery of the Rule of Law.

Saddam's illegal execution is part of US war plan
By Bert De Belder

Global Research, January 1, 2007 Solidaire (Belgium)

Iraqi hangmen executed Saddam Hussein at the gallows in the early morning of Saturday December 30. Officially, the former Iraqi president was convicted for the execution in 1982 of 148 villagers in Dujail. In fact, Saddam was eliminated by the United States because he didn't want to surrender his country's oil and sovereignty. His execution is one more entry in a long list of US war crimes.

Saddam's trial and execution are in blatant disregard of international humanitarian law. That is the opinion of Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and peace organizations the world over. Purportedly, Saddam's trial was an Iraqi affair, but Uncle Sam's fingerprints are all over the place. It were US troops who arrested Saddam. He was detained in Camp Cropper , a US air base. The Special Iraqi Tribunal's statute was written by US lawyers. The US invested more than 100 million dollars in the tribunal and intervened directly in the course of the trial. Conveniently, the conviction came just in time for the US elections in order to influence the electorate in favor of Bush. Saddam's execution is fit for the propaganda offensive that Bush and his ilk have launched in order to neutralize the bad news from Iraq . Bush wants to send more troops to Baghdad , to a war the US have already lost.

Justice and resistance

Saddam was definitely not a lamb. But when will the people stand trial who have used cluster bombs and white phosphorous against the Iraqi people; those who are guilty of the siege of Fallujah and Najjaf that bombed and starved these cities' population to death; those who are responsible for the anarchy and chaos the Iraqi people had to endure after the "liberation"? Will the 655,000 Iraqi’s who died since the invasion in March 2003 ever be given justice? What about the victims of torture in Abu Ghraib, and of those numerous other US and British war crimes? Tommy Franks, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush and Tony Blair – will they ever see their day in court?

Whatever criticism one can make about Saddam Hussein's reign, ever more Iraqi's say they had it better under Saddam when compared to the hell and chaos under occupation. Recently, the independent Iraq Centre for Research and Strategic Studies held an opinion poll. Almost 90 percent of the Iraqis opine that Iraq ’s situation was better before the occupation. At least there used to be stability, some level of economic prosperity and access to health care and education. What's left of that today is nothing but a distant memory.

Saddam's arrest three years ago didn't reduce resistance activity at all. Probably that will not be different after his execution. To the contrary, resistance has been intensifying gradually for some time now. The Pentagon's most recent Iraq report announces that there were on the average 959 attacks per week in Iraq in the period from August to November 2006, 70 percent of which were directed against the "coalition troops" (the US and their allies). This number is 2.5 times higher than in the April-July 2004 period. With 106 casualties, last December was the deadliest month for US soldiers in Iraq this year. The total number of US soldiers killed in Iraq has reached 2993. It is difficult to see how the execution of Saddam could help save US imperialism from defeat and humiliation.

Saddam’s execution repudiated all over the world

All rules of international law violated. Malcolm Smart, Director of the Middle East and North Africa for Amnesty International:

"Amnesty opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and we deplore the death penalty in this case. It is because we consider that the trial was flawed in serious ways that it is more concerning that the death penalty should be imposed. The independence and impartiality of the court was impugned. There was political interference. Three defence lawyers were murdered. Saddam himself had no access to legal advice for a year." (BBC World, 30 December)

Human Rights Watch:

"The imposition of the death penalty - an inherently cruel and inhumane punishment - in the wake of an unfair trial is indefensible". (BBC World, 30 December)

The BRussells Tribunal:

“The Iraqi Higher Criminal Court that passed a death sentence on President Saddam Hussein is grounded on illegality. Occupying powers under international law are expressly prohibited from changing the judicial structures of occupied states. Created by Paul Bremer, the Iraqi Higher Criminal Court was never anything but a US-orchestrated puppet court.”

Political reasons behind the execution

Vrede vzw ( a Belgian peace movement):

“It was a fake trial, not at all intended to judge Saddam’s crimes. His execution was a political act. It had to be done quickly, because Saddam Hussein stood symbol for part of the armed resistance. The execution came at a moment that the number of US military killed is nearing the 3,000 mark. More than ever, President Bush needs a ‘success story’ for his disastrous campaign in Iraq .”

StopUSA (a Belgian anti-war movement):

“In November 1532, the Inca king Atahualpa stood trial before the Spanish conquistadores. He was sentenced to death and hanged in August 1533. Among the accusations against him: he would have been ‘cruel for his enemies’. Whatever that may have meant, in any case the execution of Atahualpa has gone down in history not so much because of the man’s supposed or real cruelty, but because of the grotesque nature of this parody of justice. It won’t be different with Saddam’s execution.”

Robert Fisk (Middle East journalist):

“His execution will go down - correctly - as an American affair and time will add its false but lasting gloss to all this - that the West destroyed an Arab leader who no longer obeyed his orders from Washington, that, for all his wrongdoing Saddam died a "martyr" to the will of the new "Crusaders". (The Independent, 30 December)

The International Action Center ( US ):

“This punishment has nothing to do with the alleged crimes of the Iraqi leader nor is it part of an historical judgment of his role. It is the act of a conquering power against a nation that is occupied against the will of the vast majority of its people.”

Professor Jose Maria Sison (the Philippines ):

“Bush depicts the hanging of Saddam as a part of building democracy in Iraq and even in the entire Middle East . But he is clearly lying in view of the so many authoritarian regimes (including monarchic and theocratic ones) in the region with which the US has good relations. The brutal US occupation of Iraq has nothing to do with democracy. What is important to the US is servility to the rule and profit-making of US monopoly interests.”

Cebrapaz ( Brazilian Center of Solidarity with the Peoples and Struggle for Peace):

"The president of the USA , who ordered this act, enters in history as the greatest enemy of the peace and the greatest terrorist of all time. The wrld will only know better days, of peace and justice, when imperialism and its war politics are defeated."

Saddam's Execution Is About Iran
Larisa Alexandrovna

Guest Op-Ed
JuanCole.com 1-2-7

PROLOGUE

When someone does something obviously egregious, we tend to look past it because it is our nature to believe that people are naturally sane, good, and honest. We cannot imagine that anyone would willfully destroy their own country, violate their own laws, trample on their own people, and do it with such naked bravado while the world looked on.

But people have done it and do it even still, because there is also a darker side to human nature. Those of us who see the good in people look past actions that appear to be willfully evil not only because it is in our nature but it is also a foundation of our culture, as Americans, we believe guilt must be proved.

So we do not see what is going on before our eyes and directly in front of us. We look past it, around it, through it, but not at it. We cannot look directly at it, because if we do, we lose the vision of our beloved America and see something so sinister, that our minds would rather collapse than accept it.

But chess forces us to abandon our preconceptions and emotions. It pushes us to think in terms of cause and effect and it forces us to consider each action and counteraction in terms of the whole game. That is to say, chess forces us to think beyond our own present and fixed position, forcing us to reason every possible outcome of each action and counteraction.

Furthermore, chess teaches us to calculate not against a person, or a group, or a nation, but against a strategy that has no inherent religious, moral, or human characteristics. Master players can suspend their fixated self at will. Sadly, I am no master, and so I continue to struggle in seeing the game despite my human nature as an obstacle.

But sometimes, it just happens, something sets it off and there you are, inside the board, walking each action out in your mind and seeing the whole from beginning to end.

QUESTIONS AND SEEING THE BOARD

Sometime this morning, all the various and truly bizarre events the Bush administration has been engaged in recently with regard to troop levels and surges suddenly crystallized for me, as though I were sitting at a chess board and seeing the entire strategy unfold before my eyes.

This is of course my opinion and I may very well be wrong. In fact, I hope I am wrong. But the news that Saddam Hussein would be executed soon, and then the news that it would be in the next 48 hours, boggled my mind. Why on earth would anyone want to set off an ideological bomb during an already chaotic situation? I do not defend Saddam Hussein, not by any measure. But when Iraq is falling into total chaos and civil war, and as American troops continue to die, why would anyone want to add fuel to that fire, enough fuel to destroy what is left?

Suspend your emotions and think strategically. Now look at the question again and in context.

The administration is stalling as it supposedly weighs its Iraq options, when in fact they have already made their decision. How do I know they have made their decision? One need only look at the slow leaks coming out, not the least of which was Joe Lieberman's op-ed in the Washington Post, to understand that we are going to be sending more troops to Iraq. So why does the administration wait to tell us this?

In the meantime, naval carriers are deployed to send Iran "a warning," as though the threats thus far and the passing of sanctions are not warning enough. Add to that the detainment of Iranian diplomats invited to Iraq by the Iraqi leadership. Why is the US arresting diplomats invited to a country that the US claims is a sovereign nation governing itself?

And what about those sanctions, which ultimately mean nothing and sadly mean everything? The sanctions are so watered down as to have no real effect on the Iranian population or economy. Why even bother passing them?

Why censor Dr. Leverett's opinion piece on Iran when the CIA already cleared it?

Now given this entire context, ask yourself again why Saddam Hussein is being executed now, during Hajj even? What is the urgency?

THE UGLY STRATEGY I SEE

This is what I think may be playing out, my opinion of course. And yes, the strategy is so brazenly obvious, arrogant, and antithetical to everything America is supposed to be and stand for that it will be difficult to digest.

What the Bush administration appears to be waiting for, stalling for, while they allegedly mull over the Iraq question, is for the naval carriers and other key assets to fall into position. This will happen in the first week of January. Saddam Hussein is being executed (and I would not be surprised if every major network aired it) to enrage tempers and fuel more violence in Iraq. This violence will justify an immediate need for a troop surge, although I think it will be described as temporary. Remember too that the British press has for the past week done nothing but report that Britain will be attacked by the New Year. Clearly they are preparing themselves for a contingency, and that contingency is the massive violence that will erupt across the Muslim world as they watch (and I really believe it will be televised) Saddam's hanging just before the New Year.

Why is the rush to execute Saddam Hussein not account for Hajj? Or does it?

The carriers will be in position. I imaging there will be an event of some sort in Iraq, or the violence will spill into friendly (our friends) territory. It will be dramatic, even more so than the immediate violence.

The attacks will be blamed on Iran, with the help of the Saudis and Pakistan. Iran will be blamed for something that happens in Iran. The naval carriers, again, will be in position. The sanctions, as watered down as they are, have given the administration the blank check they needed from the world (and they still have their blank check from Congress) to order aerial strikes. The surge troops will be in position, and I estimate that ground support will begin around late February, early March.

Saddam's execution and the violence will also be a convenient cover while the administration moves pieces into position.

But what the planners in the administration don't seem to realize is that the Persians are the most expert of chess players, and they are a patient, strategy minded opponent. They are watching this develop, all of it, and they too are planning their counteraction. They know better than to strike first, because in doing so, they would lose the moral argument in the eyes of the world, as well as the advantage of counteraction. The US has a superior air force, but Iran has a formidable navy, and while the house of Saud will fuel this, the fallout will be fatal. Why?

Here is why: Because the US is too stretched to be able to protect Israel, and Israel cannot sustain a long term attack. They can sustain a few hits, but they will not be able to sustain a full blown attack.

If you have any doubt, go back to the recent war with Lebanon. The British will pull out, despite promises of support. Blair is on his way out, and the British public will not tolerate support for Israel, because of its help in supporting US imperialistic aggression. Whatever terrorist cells lurk in the US, and make no mistake, our administration has done little to address this issue, will be activated.

Also consider that the house of Saud is not prepared to defend itself against an uprising, and that the US cannot protect it while simultaneously operating on three different fronts and covertly in god knows how many. Despite the various sectarian differences in the Muslim world, there are two enemies that they all agree to fight and die fighting against: the US and Israel. This attack will set off a Muslim counterattack so large, that nothing will be able to stop it or contain it.

But our leadership does not see this, because they cannot think strategically and won't think in human terms, so they are left with nothing but arrogance. And we ae left with a world ablaze. '

U.S. buries truth
Saddam's execution
eliminates main witness
against accomplices
By ERIC MARGOLIS

On my first visit to Iraq in 1976, so-called "Israeli spies" were being hanged in front of my Baghdad hotel.

While covering Iraq just before the 1991 Gulf War, Saddam Hussein's secret police threatened to hang me as an American/Israeli spy.

I always considered "President Hussein," who was hanged Friday, a sadistic bully and a loathsome megalomaniac.

No one can accuse me of sympathy for Saddam or his fellow thugs who terrorized Iraq. But I was thoroughly disgusted and ashamed by the kangaroo court created and stage-managed by the U.S. that condemned Saddam.

It was a disgraceful farrago of Soviet-style show trial and judicial circus. Washington, which claimed to be bringing the fruits of democracy to the benighted Arab World, put on a sinister legal farce worthy of, ironically, Saddam's courts.

Iraq's deposed president, whom Osama bin Laden called "the worst Arab despot" should have faced real justice at an international legal tribunal like the UN Hague Court. That would have served warning to other despots who violated human rights and committed aggression.

The United States did right to hand over Serb tyrant Slobodan Milosevic to the Hague. But Saddam had to be silenced before he told the world about his long collusion with the United States. Dead men tell no tales.

Saddam's biggest crime was not killing rebellious Kurds or Shia. As ruler of the unnatural, British-created Frankenstein state Iraq, Saddam was forced to keep putting down rebellions.

Saintly Winston Churchill authorized the RAF to bomb Iraq's rebellious Kurdish tribesmen with poison gas -- exactly as Saddam later did. Saddam's most brutal repression of Kurds and Shia occurred when they revolted during Iraq's wars with Iran and the U.S.

Saddam should have faced trial for his unprovoked 1980 aggression against Iran that ended up causing one million dead and wounded.

But in this crime, Saddam was covertly backed by his principal accomplices, the U.S. and Britain. Donald Rumsfeld even went to Baghdad to offer Saddam arms, finance and intelligence. Hanging Saddam eliminated the main witness.

Saddam was helped into power by the CIA, which stood by while he slaughtered Iraqi communists and Nasserites.

The U.S. and Britain, as I discovered in Baghdad in 1990, supplied Saddam with poison gas and germs to make battlefield weapons (these were not "weapons of mass destruction." The germs were never successfully weaponized).

So long as Saddam was killing and torturing people America and Britain did not like, he was "our SOB."

But when Saddam grew too big for his britches and invaded Kuwait, he went from being the West's regional bullyboy to devil No. 1.

Once he touched the West's oil in Kuwait, he was marked for death.

Some of the tame U.S. media have been spinning Saddam's execution as a justification for the Bush/Cheney administration's unprovoked invasion of Iraq, without ever asking why Saddam was an ally in 1988 yet a devil
