ou made fun of me when I suggested that President Barack Obama would nominate a confessed bank scammer, a loan-sharking mortgage predator, to his cabinet. But thar she blows!

Today, Obama has named Penny Pritzker Secretary of Commerce. As the President says, It's a milestone: the first female fraudster to hold that post. No longer will criminal bankers have to lobby the administration - because now they'll have one of their own in the Cabinet.

It seems the glass ceiling has been penetrated.  As the old ladies become rich cons they get their deluvian Obamy support.  Oh, well, the promise was not to have another flood.  Let's see ......  what is next after flood?

Four Dead In Ohio

“Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, we’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio...”

April 4, 1970. American troops crossed the border from Viet Nam into Cambodia, invading a sovereign nation which had done us no harm. The rationale, expressed by that murderous swine, Richard Nixon and his pal Henry Kissinger, was that North Vietnamese troops and Viet Cong guerrillas were using Cambodia as a sanctuary from which to launch attacks against the puppet regime in the South.

In the United States, college campuses were filled with angry students, demonstrating against America’s policy, seizing campus buildings, holding mass rallies, in some cases burning ROTC buildings to the ground.

At Jackson State in Mississippi, local police shot more than twenty black students who had gathered near a bowling alley to protest against continued segregation. Most of them were shot in the back.

At Kent State in Ohio, National Guard troops called out by Governor James Rhodes opened fire at unarmed, peaceful student demonstrators. Four were killed. More than seventy rounds were fired in just a few seconds of horror.

No one was prosecuted for the murders at Jackson or Kent.

I don't remember where I was when JFK was murdered; I don't remember where I was when JFK invaded Cuba, I don't remember where I was at the 9/11 horror/pile of lies but I do remember where I was on April 4, 1970.

I was at my parents place celebrating my father's birthday, it was a Saturday and I had very long hair and a black motorcycle - Triumph.  I wore jeans and a jean jacket and was a Hippy and I was 17 years old.  (Yeah, I know it's not as my profile shows.  My profile is meant to protect me from others.)

To be fair I remember Kent State but not Jackson, Mississippi.  I guess the black people killed weren't important enough to get in the early news or the birthday party kept us from paying attention.  Sad...

Just a few years later Nixon, Kissinger would have the CIA create a coup in Chile to get rid of that democracy.  Some things never change.  And they'd put in the murderous, cruel Pinochet and support the murdering dictator until the very end.  And many, many more people died and the scream, of course, was communism.  What a pile of crap!

Today, its terrorism that calls the hounds to kill the fox.  Twenty hounds - one fox.  That's the way the USA bravely fights its wars.

Today the hounds are Drones and the Americans that used to protest at Kent State and all over the country sit, fat and slobby, ignoring the death they are causing.  Chewing fat inducing fast food crap that loads ones belly and thighs and reduces ones brain activity to 30 second ad spots.

 

Killing But No Honour

The story of Predator Drones and their Hell Fire missiles continues to suggest that the purpose is to Defend America!

"US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has defended the policy, saying that the US will continue to defend itself."

Defend America!  The patriotic battle cry that controls much of and American population that treats patriotism as a religion.  Just listen to the recordings of the capture of the second bomber of the Boston marathon.  "USA!  USA!   USA!"

This is the pure fantasy land Americans live in.  And, more and more Canadians are exalting in the American Way.  The road of destruction; the road that Hallelujahs the killing of innocents in lands far, far that creates a religious fervour over there and messes up countries that are struggling to find their own path.

"US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has defended the policy, saying that the US will continue to defend itself."

This is the hideous truth of the "We" religious.  "We are right!  We were attacked!  We love God!"

Then there are the myths to try to contain the killing.  GHW Bush began one of these myths during his Invasion of Iraq.  "Surgical attacks," had so many people jumping up and down, truly believing that only the 'bad guys' were being sought out and killed with missiles and bombs with the 'bad guys' " names on them.  "Oooo --- What a nice war!"

Key words in the USA assault upon the truth gobbled up upon Americans and Canadians trying their utmost to absolve themselves of blame.....  surgical attacks, precise effective tools, targeted terrorists, minimal downsides or collateral impacts.  A blithering snowstorm of lies that helped so many, not only keep their breakfast down but to be happy with the war(s).

In Canada today we have on man in prison because he was not a soldier when (if) he threw a grenade while being attacked in Afghanistan.  It does not matter that he ought not be there as the USA/NATO ought not have been there either.  This is/was a criminal war created by the USA and fool Canada followed along as a NATO ally.  Stupid!

Today, and for years past, children have been taken out of schools in fear of two things;

1. the fear of a drone attack and/or to compensate for the lack of work caused by a family member having been killed by a drone attack.
2.  The huge backlash by the Taliban because of the Invasion of Afghanistan.

Odd, that.  There was so much sympathy for Malala trying to protect her and others rights to go to school and the growing Taliban radicals created by the Invasion of Afghanistan blowing up schools in Pakistan near the Afghan border.  Yet they've no honesty in the ignoring of their culpability in the degradation of the area because of the USA's war of aggression and its murder by drones of so many civilians including children.

Today and every day since the Boston bombing we get reports of the bombing that encouraged massive television watching.  Yet, day after day we ignore; our media ignores the constant killing of civilians struggling to live in the Middle East.  And we have the unmitigated gall to suggest it's the 'right thing to do'.

 

USA War Crime In Mass Murder In 2006 Iraq

Our news, in favour of the USA, continues to not print the news the USA may find offensive. I know most people will not listen to the truth because its not found in the popular, accepted news channels and news papers.

This is really quite odd. The fact that these news relaters lie and leave out a lot of what is happening in favour of what 'the people' would rather hear and the governments rather 'the people' not hear has been a fact for many many decades.

When I grew up my family (the adults) argued about the truth in the news a lot. Their great love of get-togethers involved a lot of political discussion and I heard a lot about the absurdity of our news during World War 2. It's hardly fiction that the people at home heard lies about the war almost daily in our news. A time when news was a lot freer than it is today.

A lot of times the news would mention huge battles won and the actuality, coming out later, would be the exact opposite. People then tended to expect the opposite to be true when the big headlines claimed big advances by the allies.

But it was much more insidious than that. Much of what we were doing as allies in a most desperate war were left to be interpreted later by others after the war in books written by a variety of authors of which some were honest, some were poor recorders of fact and others masters of placing fiction in the place of fact.

But this is only the essence of what we hear and believe and today I'd like to re-visit an act of murder by the USA Occupation Forces in Iraq. Something reported on but not with and degree of truthfulness.

In 2006, in Iraq there was the Al Ishaqi massacre. Probably not a big massacre by today's standards of the USA but certainly one that gravely affected the 11 people murdered by the USA 'troops'. Eleven people died horrible deaths and five of those were children.

Of course, the first things claimed by the USA and published was, "US military personnel had followed the proper procedures and rules of engagement, and that they had done nothing wrong”.

Yes, the USA Forces Spokesman, William B. Caldwell made the normal claim, "we've done nothing wrong." How often have we heard this claim? It's one made very often. We've done nothing wrong has become part of the parlance of American denial.

The Americans continued with their version of an investigation and as usual found themselves to be innocent of, "Doing anything wrong." They claimed clearly that the military "had implemented the correct military procedures”.

But, they didn't get into the heavy brass of the situation and tell us what these 5 children and 6 adults had done wrong to incur this ultimate violence.
------------------------------------

The Iraqi police in Iraq in 2006 were chosen police and their mission was to act in concert with the USA military upon all things. They were advised to agree with what the USA stated in all matters. The were not supposed to be defenders of Iraqis if they would find themselves in a position contrary to the statements made by the USA.

With this in mind it is extraordinary that the Iraqi police in this particular incident spoke up in complete opposition to the wishes and the statements made by the Americans. They bravely stood up and told of the USA troops rounding up these 5 children and 5 women and 1 man and shooting them. They followed up by blowing up their house.

The USA then expanded their claims of doing 'nothing wrong'. They then claimed that the soldiers were involved in a fire fight after a tip that an al Qaeda leader, Ahmad Abdallah Muhammad Na'is al-Utaibi, was visiting the house. It was then that the USA spokesperson admitted to the death of 4 to 13 people during the operation.

---------------------------------------------

But, new facts continued to come up in opposition to the lies of the USA. Lies that seem to be the first choice in so many actions. The lies that continue today in the use of Predator Drones and the deaths of mostly civilians contrary to the facts. Another story to be written. One more of too many stories bound by the Lies of the Americans.

This is but one story of many stories that attack the embedded lies of the USA in all matters military. So sad that Obama and media friends thought it just fine and dandy to laugh at the continued ravages of war. Way to go Leno,.......

This particular massacre of the 15th of April 2006 began with the American raid of the house, in Iraq, of Faez Harat who was 28 years old and a teacher in an elementary school. After the raid was the time when the lies of 'no wrong doing by us' began the normal thread by the USA. The people, it was claimed were merely killed in the raid as if that weren't a wrong action in and of itself. Yes, the lie even was an admission of wrong doing. Certainly one that would pass mustard with the Americans at home and, more sadly, with so many Canadians still enraptured with the USA.

It turns out that there are lies beneath lies in this scenario. Documentation has proved that the man the USA claims to have been after, Al-Utaibi, in this deadly raid had been arrested by the Americans the day before. So, ultimately his being killed in this raid is not at all true.

Further, the reports from the morgue examinations prove that the murdered were killed as a result of gun shots fired from close range in their heads and chests.

Further confirmations of the American lies of doing 'nothing wrong' are from the milue of witnesses near the scene of the crime in the village of Al-Safa. Every witness tells of the people massacred being taken from the house after the raid, their hands being tied/handcuffed and their mouths tied before being shot at close range.

Excuse me if I find this to be hideous to an extreme. Picture, if you can - if you dare, 5 children of the 11 people murdered, having their hands immobilised, the mouths muffled and then being shot, in cold blood.

But would this ever get days - weeks - of air time in the USA or Canada as did the Boston bombing? Not, on your life. We're protected from seeing these truths or even enactments of these truths. I suppose its just not palatable for us to take note of innocents being murdered by American soldiers in another one of their wars that should have never been.

To follow up upon this event Wikileaks in August 2011 provided clear evidence that USA soldiers executed at least 10 Iraqi citizens that did include a woman in her 70s and a 5 month old baby. This release of a 'diplomatic' cable told of an airstrike called in to destroy the evidence and it named the village of Al-Ishaqi.

Here is an exert from the cable: "at least 10 persons, namely :
-- Mr. Faiz Hratt Khalaf, (aged 28),
his wife Sumay'ya Abdul Razzaq Khuther (aged 24),
--Their three children
*Hawra'a (aged 5)
*Aisha (aged 3)
*Husam (5 months old),
--Faiz's mother Ms. Turkiya Majeed Ali (aged 74),
--Faiz's sister (name unknown),
--Faiz's nieces Asma'a Yousif Ma'arouf (aged 5 years old)
--Usama Yousif Ma'arouf (aged 3 years)
--Visiting relative Ms. Iqtisad Hameed Mehdi (aged 23) were killed during the raid.”

Is it no wonder that the USA is 'out to get' Assange and the rest of Wikileaks?
Is it no wonder they are 'out to get' Bradley Manning?
Makes me wonder how many USA soldiers have 'been killed in action' when they're responded to such events.

The BS of War:

A ex-marine by the name of Sam Lwin, now a conscientious objector and anti-War activist from the first Gulf war has a few grave insights into the promotion of war and especially the 9/11 promotion of war.

When GHW Bush initiated the first Gulf War, Sam was a Marine reservist.  Knowing that the Gulf War was, in reality, an oil war and having noted a few deceptions used by the GHW Bush government to get national support he, as a conscientious Marine refused to go.

I know what the righties will say.  They will make all kinds of rude remarks about Sam and others refusing to go to a fabricated war.  This is the normal behaviour of righties and, ultimately its just fool-speak.

It takes a lot of guts to, "Just say No."

Sam and 25 other Marines, including eight from the City of New York, were all court marshalled and were sent to do time in the brig at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

However, they were supported by many people who sent them letters of encouragement and books to help them pass the time.  Because of this support and the public pressure extended by the 'friends' their sentences were shortened up to two years.  Some important groups that gave them encouragement and aid were Hands Off! and War Resistors League.

One war resistor told Sam about a man named Smedley Butler.  He was a Marine general who had twice won the Congressional Medal of Honour.  In 1933 he published a book called War Is a Racket.

Sam has quoted a couple of signature pieces in this book;

“War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.”

“I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country’s most agile military force–the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.”

Things have changed though.  They're worse.  And Big Business makes war.

Sam continues to explain that it was the first Gulf War that showed him that things were not as they seemed.  Nevertheless 9/11 took a bit to convince him how bad things really were.  He says he chose not to reject the official story because he dared not believe otherwise.  I take this to mean that 9/11 was too big to believe otherwise because to do so would be to say the the Bush government killed all these people in a false flag event.  I find it hard to believe, too.

However, Sam changed his mind when the Bush Administration began its propaganda insistence hat Saddam Hussein was hiding Weapons of Mass Destruction in and about Iraq.  In early 2002 Sam began to look for answers.  Something more Americans and Canadians should do.

After four years of intense work Sam determined that 9/11 too was a racket; a military false flag psy-op adventure that has led to the fracturing of the Middle East by the USA and friends.  It continues and those of limited minds fall for the propaganda.

Sam is maddened by the fact that the anti-war movement still refuses to believe that 9/11 was constructed to give the US Government an easier time to get the American people onside with the wars that are now being concocted.  I can understand why they shy away from the obvious.  The anti-war people are afraid of being even less attended to if they were to adhere to the truths about 9/11.  They believe, and correctly, that the controversy would set them back years simply because people refuse to believe that the official story, full of massive holes, is false.  The righties news propaganda insists still that to not believe the official story is just foolish.  People are afraid of looking foolish so they believe the astounding lies.

I'd like to end with a statement by Sam Lwin:

"I propose that our brothers and sisters in the anti-war movement, whom I thank a great deal from my experience in the first Gulf war, join with us in the 9/11 Truth movement, to courageously pursue the truth with us–our Satyagraha–to bring into reality a truly independent investigation into the events of 9/11. And through our collective efforts, we can began to dismantle the authority of this traitorous, treasonous, and illegitimate administration in the current wars and their nefarious plans for wider wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. Only when the truth of 9/11 comes into light, on a national and international arena, will we be able to stop their immoral, unethical, and unconscionable rackets.

Thank you."

Propaganda Leads to War

Camille Chidiac is the past president of Leonie Industries, a company exposed by USA Today as a contractor for the Pentagon to use psy-op style warfare in other countries.  Reports in USA Today say the Camille Chidiac claims to have acted alone in his propaganda attacks of other journalists and was operating outside of the Pentagon.

Reports by USA Today have shown the 'dubious nature' and the 'exorbitant costs' of the Pentagon's Dis(Information Operations) known otherwise as war propaganda that is used in vatious places where the USA intervenes.

It has been shown that Leonie Industries has received government contracts woth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The USA Today reporters were targeted by a misinformation campaign that utilized both false Facebook accounts and false Twitter accounts created in their names that contained falsified information regarding these reporters and their reports.

The reporters thought it might be Information Operations (Pentagon) and the sites were erased when the Pentagon addressed these issues.

This was followed by the 'admission' by Camille Chidiac, accompanied by his attorney, and claimed he was in the process of completely divesting his minority ownership of Leonie Industries.

The Pentagon followed with this statement:

"“We were deeply disappointed to read this disclosure from Leonie Industries. Smear campaigns — online or anywhere else — are intolerable, and we reject this kind of behavior,” said Pentagon press secretary George Little."

It seems that was the fall guy for the Pentagon as the false reports were triggered by a very expensive USA military propaganda campaign, being reported by the two reporters working for USA Today, directed at certain countries in the Middle East.

This propaganda by the Pentagon is rarely heard of and is, though not a secret per se it is usually gently treated by the American and Western media.  The propaganda is sent out in a variety of ways:  on the Internet; leaflets dropped from the air; false stories in the media, word of mouth by people hired and instructed what to say in coffee houses; meetings; elevator fake conversations etc.  It is big and it costs many millions of dollars to enact and to co-ordinate.  It does create, as   intended, to intiate a growing pulse of fear in a country which varies from district to district.  In the end it costs many, many thousands their lives and millions their ways of life.
