Sick strategies for senseless slaughter

John Kaminski

 

The murderous fools are not trying to end the war;

they're trying to keep it going as long as they can

 

 

May 24, 2005

 

 

The cat is out of the bag now.

 

It happened quite by accident, as most revelations do. And it is seen

by most of the world as the most revolting of the American/Israeli

atrocities in the past few years, although it's hard to prioritize

that claim because of the level and frequency of barbaric acts that

are committed on a regular basis by those affluent automatons who call

themselves the good guys.

 

Yet everyone but the comatose American populace — blinded by its

Orwellian media and stupefied by its demented diet of physical and

mental poisons — can see it.

 

So permit me to spell it out for those cowardly people who say they're

living in the freest country on Earth, but absolutely refuse in their

silent ignorance to see the blood they're spilling. No country that

condones deliberate torture for any reason can ever be trusted.

 

The first hint came in Imad Khadduri's " A warning to car drivers "

written in Arabic and posted on www.albasrah.net on May 11.

The dispatch was quickly picked up by two of the most realistic and

reliable news sites on the Web, www.uruknet.info , which I try to read

every day,

and www.globalresearch.ca , which I try to read every week, since it

offers less breaking and more analytical news. I consider these two

sites essential to keeping up with the real news of the world, and

highly recommend that you monitor them, too.

 

Khadduri recounted a scam that opens up a clear window to seeing who

is perpetrating all this inexplicable violence in Iraq. Beyond the

American attempt to pacify an outraged and abused nation through

demonic destruction, and beyond the Iraqi attempt to resist this

totalitarian takeover by a foreign conqueror, there are more than

numerous acts of violence that simply can't be understood by

straightforward explanations.

 

I mean, when a mosque blows up and Americans blame Islamic terrorists,

whether Sunni or Shiite, it makes no sense. Muslims never blow up

their own houses of worship. Or when reporters sympathetic to either

the Iraqi cause of freedom, or even just general principles of

international justice, are suddenly assassinated and the blame is

placed on often imaginary Islamic extremists whose perspective is

supported by these writers, how can anyone believe that Muslims did

it, even thought this is what the Zionist American press and

government continue to insist.

 

So who's doing all these demented deeds? As if we didn't know ....

 

Khadduri's report went like this:

 

" A few days ago, an American manned check point confiscated the driver

license of a driver and told him to report to an American military

camp near Baghdad airport for interrogation and in order to retrieve

his license. The next day, the driver did visit the camp and he was

allowed in the camp with his car. He was admitted to a room for an

interrogation that lasted half an hour. At the end of the session, the

American interrogator told him: `OK, there is nothing against you, but

you do know that Iraq is now sovereign and is in charge of its own

affairs. Hence, we have forwarded your papers and license to

al-Kadhimia police station for processing. Therefore, go there with

this clearance to reclaim your license. At the police station, ask for

Lt. Hussain Mohammed, who is waiting for you now. Go there now

quickly, before he leaves his shift work " .

 

The driver did leave in a hurry, but was soon alarmed with a feeling

that his car was driving as if carrying a heavy load, and he also

became suspicious of a low flying helicopter that kept hovering

overhead, as if trailing him. He stopped the car and inspected it

carefully. He found nearly 100 kilograms of explosives hidden in the

back seat and along the two back doors.

 

The only feasible explanation for this incident is that the car was

indeed booby trapped by the Americans and intended for the

al-Khadimiya Shiite district of Baghdad. The helicopter was monitoring

his movement and witnessing the anticipated " hideous attack by foreign

elements " .

 

The same scenario was repeated in Mosul, in the north of Iraq. A car

was confiscated along with the driver's license. He did follow up on

the matter and finally reclaimed his car but was told to go to a

police station to reclaim his license. Fortunately for him, the car

broke down on the way to the police station. The inspecting car

mechanic discovered that the spare tire was fully laden with explosives. "

 

If this were the only example of this type I heard, I might have let

it pass as just a story. But it wasn't.

 

There was also the sorry tale of the Iraqi man who saw American

soldiers plant a bomb which shortly thereafter exploded, and when he

said so out loud for all to hear, he was hauled away, never to be seen

again.

 

This story was reported on arguably the most authentic and riveting

source of news from Iraq, the heart-rending " Baghdad Burning: Girl

Blog from Iraq, " which is compiled by someone known only as Riverbend

or Iraqi Girl < http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/ >. Again,

recommended reading.

 

She recounts, " the last two weeks have been violent ....

 

The number of explosions in Baghdad alone is frightening. There have

also been several assassinations — bodies being found here and there.

It's somewhat disturbing to know that corpses are turning up in the

most unexpected places. Many people will tell you it's not wise to eat

river fish anymore because they have been nourished on the human

remains being dumped into the river. That thought alone has given me

more than one sleepless night. It is almost as if Baghdad has turned

into a giant graveyard.

 

The latest corpses were those of some Sunni and Shia clerics — several

of them well-known. People are being patient and there is a general

consensus that these killings are being done to provoke civil war.

Also worrisome is the fact that we are hearing of people being rounded

up by security forces (Iraqi) and then being found dead days later —

apparently when the new Iraqi government recently decided to reinstate

the death penalty, they had something else in mind.

 

But back to the explosions. One of the larger blasts was in an area

called Ma'moun, which is a middle class area located in west Baghdad.

It's a relatively calm residential area with shops that provide the

basics and a bit more. It happened in the morning, as the shops were

opening up for their daily business and it occurred right in front of

a butcher's shop. Immediately after, we heard that a man living in a

house in front of the blast site was hauled off by the Americans

because it was said that after the bomb went off, he sniped an Iraqi

National Guardsman.

 

I didn't think much about the story — nothing about it stood out: an

explosion and a sniper — hardly an anomaly. The interesting news

started circulating a couple of days later. People from the area claim

that the man was taken away not because he shot anyone, but because he

knew too much about the bomb. Rumor has it that he saw an American

patrol passing through the area and pausing at the bomb site minutes

before the explosion. Soon after they drove away, the bomb went off

and chaos ensued. He ran out of his house screaming to the neighbors

and bystanders that the Americans had either planted the bomb or seen

the bomb and done nothing about it. He was promptly taken away.

 

The bombs are mysterious. Some of them explode in the midst of

National Guard and near American troops or Iraqi Police and others

explode near mosques, churches, and shops or in the middle of sougs.

One thing that surprises us about the news reports of these bombs is

that they are inevitably linked to suicide bombers. The reality is

that some of these bombs are not suicide bombs — they are car bombs

that are either being remotely detonated or maybe time bombs. All we

know is that the techniques differ and apparently so do the

intentions. Some will tell you they are resistance. Some say Chalabi

and his thugs are responsible for a number of them. Others blame Iran

and the SCIRI militia Badir.

 

In any case, they are terrifying. If you're close enough, the first

sound is a that of an earsplitting blast and the sounds that follow

are of a rain of glass, shrapnel and other sharp things. Then the

wails begin — the shrill mechanical wails of an occasional ambulance

combined with the wail of car alarms from neighboring vehicles… and

finally the wail of people trying to sort out their dead and dying

from the debris.

 

Then there was this one.

 

On May 13, 2005, a 64 years old Iraqi farmer, Haj Haidar Abu Sijjad,

took his tomato load in his pickup truck from Hilla to Baghdad,

accompanied by Ali, his 11 years old grandson. They were stopped at an

American check point and were asked to dismount. An American soldier

climbed on the back of the pickup truck, followed by another a few

minutes later, and thoroughly inspected the tomato filled plastic

containers for about 10 minutes. Haj Haidar and his grandson were then

allowed to proceed to Baghdad.

 

A minute later, his grandson told him that he saw one of the American

soldiers putting a grey melon size object in the back among the tomato

containers. The Haj immediately slammed on the brakes and stopped the

car at the side of the road, at a relatively far distance from the

check point. He found a time bomb with the clock ticking tucked among

his tomatoes. He immediately recognized it, as he was an ex-army

soldier. Panicking, he grabbed his grandson and ran away from the car.

Then, realizing that the car was his only means of work, he went back,

took the bomb and carried it in fear. He threw it in a deep ditch by

the side of the road that was dug by Iraqi soldiers in preparation for

the war, two years ago.

 

Upon returning from Baghdad, he found out that the bomb had indeed

exploded, killing three sheep and injuring their shepherd in his head.

He thanked God for giving him the courage to go back and remove the

bomb, and for the luck in that the American soldiers did not notice

his sudden stop at a distance and his getting rid of the bomb.

 

" They intended it to explode in Baghdad and claim that it is the work

of the 'terrorists', or 'insurgents' or who call themselves the

'Resistance'.

 

I decided to expose them and asked your reporter to take me to Baghdad

to tell you the story. They are to be exposed as they now want to sow

strife in Iraq and taint the Resistance after failing to defeat it

militarily.

Do not forget to mention my name. I fear nobody but God, as I am a

follower of Muqtada al-Sadir. "

 

The background and admission of guilt for such satanic shenanigans was

clearly outlined in Frank Morales' piece on globalresearch.ca: " The

Provocateur State: Is the CIA Behind the Iraqi 'Insurgents' — and

Global Terrorism, " by Frank Morales <

http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MOR505A.htm l> clearly demonstrates

how Donald Rumsfeld said he was going to do exactly what these three

sorry episodes show he actually did.

 

Morales writes:

 

Back in 2002, following the trauma of 9-11, Secretary of Defense

Donald H. Rumsfeld predicted there would be more terrorist attacks

against the American people and civilization at large. How could he be

so sure of that? Perhaps because these attacks would be instigated on

the order of the Honorable Mr. Rumsfeld. According to Los Angeles

Times military analyst William Arkin, writing Oct. 27, 2002, Rumsfeld

set out to create a secret army, " a super-Intelligence Support

Activity " network that would " bring together CIA and military covert

action, information warfare, intelligence, and cover and deception, "

to stir the pot of spiraling global violence.

 

We never got the full story on those ghastly beheadings of Nick Berg

and others. Nor have we ever understood who killed the American

mercenaries in Fallujah that eventually precipitated one of the great

slaughters in history. Nor have we ever been able to discern if Abu

Musab al-Zarqawi is actually a real person or just another bin

Ladenesque boogeyman. Nor if the al-Qaeda website which claims

responsibility for various atrocities is not really run by the CIA.

 

Provoking this type of violence also further conceals the sinister

genocide the Israelis continue to perpetrate on the hapless

Palestinians, which is exactly its point, as is the entire Iraq

invasion and destruction, and as was the inside job mass murder on

9/11 in New York City. The purpose of all these despicable acts is to

conceal what the Israelis and the Americans have been doing all along

to the entire Arab world, namely enslaving and destroying it.

 

There is not now nor ever was an Arab terror threat. That was all

invented by Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kissinger, Brzezinski, Bush,

Cheney, Sharon, Zakheim, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Abrams and Warren

Buffett. These people are all traitors to not only their countries but

to humanity in general, and should all be slammed and RICOed into

Guantanamo immediately.

 

And so should the government officials, media lackeys, and ordinary

citizens who, by their complicity or their ignorance, support them.

 

The main point in understanding these deliberate provocations to

prevent peace is to understand how the American capitalist system, now

hijacked by billionaires with no trace of conscience, thrives on war

and profits from the misery of others.

 

The neocon murder menace has been for months ratcheting up the

hyperbole about why we need to invade Iran — which some predict will

happen in June — and just this week, rumors of troop movements in the

Caribbean and lockdowns at Florida military bases appear to augur an

imminent invasion of oil-producing Venezuela.

 

The overall plan is to create hell on Earth, and we are succeeding. By

our silent complicity and cowardly reluctance to oppose and stop this

homicidal behavior in the name of profit, we are all accessories to

mass murder and the destruction of human society, not to even mention

the extinction of individual human freedom and the God-given right to

be safe and secure in the homes of our choice.

 

So now that you know, what are you going to do about it? You know if

you do nothing, these same things will one day happen to you.
