America's Iraq 2006

Children of Abraham: Death in the Desert

"What happened in the village of Abu Sif (Isahaqi), north of Baghdad, on Ides of March? The murk of war – the natural blur of unbuckled event, and its artificial augmentation by professional massagers – shrouds the details of the actual operation. But here is what we know."

U.S. Marine's Haditha Massacre


Haditha Was Inevitable
The Haditha Massacre™ was more than horrific...it was predictable. More than predictable, it was inevitable. Equally horrific, predictable, and inevitable is the devious reporting by the supposedly liberal media. The “alleged” war crimes at Haditha might be the work of a “handful” of Marines who “snapped” and, for those reading between the lines, those Marines are guilty of something far worse than mass murder: They’ve soiled the pristine, courageous image of the American military in Iraq. As Stan Goff sez: “The bad apple defense is back.”

Cold Turkey
by Kurt Vonnegut

"Many years ago, I was so innocent I still considered it possible that we could become the humane and reasonable America so many members of my generation used to dream of. We dreamed of such an America during the Great Depression, when there were no jobs. And then we fought and often died for that dream during the Second World War, when there was no peace.

But I know now that there is not a chance in hell of America’s becoming humane and reasonable. Because power corrupts us, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." continued on Common Dreams

The "w" done gone and flip-flop back peddled on these hardworking members of modern societies vanguard.
The Bushbot likes to use uniformed men as his agitprop backdrops whilst reasserting his Messianic image as the all-encompassing bless-ed “everyfella”. 9-11, despite the fact that the entire American Military Industrial Complex disappeared for one day, has somehow become a great and all excusing badge of honour for those who allowed it to happen.

The greasy schemers and dark eyed masterminds behind the New Order Homeland of fortress America have no intention of paying any special attention to one expendable class as opposed to another, unless a patronizing photo-op is required.
Do you really think non- millionaires matter in the Bush/Cheney Global Empire 2004?

"Here's the complete text of the New York Court's decision denying the press' right to access the complete oral histories/interviews taken of firefighters' and other workers about 9/11 as well as access to phonecalls made to 911 on that day. Before the records of the oral histories are released to the press, all mention of the opinions and
recommendations of those interviewed will be deleted first, so the press will only get the interviewees' "personal expressions of feelings". In other words, if a firefighter who was interviewed said, "I heard what sounded like explosions and I think it was bombs that took down those towers, it was all so horrible", the press will merely get the portion that says: "it was all so horrible". Additionally, transcripts of tapes of the calls that people made to 911 on that day will not be released at all because the Court said they would invade the privacy of the surviving families - even though surviving family members indicated to the Court that they waived such rights to privacy. There is one higher court in New York that this decision could be appealed to, the Court of Appeals, but I have seen no reports on whether the New York Times plans on appealing it. These same records will not even make it to the 9-11 Commission without deletions."

Having watched the American 9-11 commission shuffle and pose toward its vague and no doubt ambiguous "conclusions" concerning the mass murder conspiracy in 2001, I am left with the memory of Bush Administration testimonies consistently referring to the "unthinkable" and "unimaginable" nature of the airliner attacks.

I think this article and the many I have seen since 9-11 correct the misinformation polluting the White house talking points and disinformation routine.

"In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties.
One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center. In another exercise, jets performed a mock shootdown over the Atlantic Ocean of a jet supposedly laden with chemical poisons headed toward a target in the United States. In a third scenario, the target was the Pentagon — but that drill was not run after Defense officials said it was unrealistic, NORAD and Defense officials say. "USA Today

After restarting this blog I took a look back at the old stat counter records for the time it was inactive.
Many of the connections were image searches from around the world. Inquiring minds from a large number of countries around the world, (including the USA) want to see how the stars and bars are conducting their Global Empire’s military outposts and occupied assets.
This image in the post below was by far the most sought after
followed by a shot of American torture at the Abu Ghraib Prison Complex.

The most linked post was "From the "More proof that God is dead" files" which was also a picture post.

"US soldiers in Iraq approach a car after opening fire when it failed to stop as requested. Despite warning shots it continued to drive towards their dusk patrol in Tal Afar on 18 January."

How many innocent people have died at American checkpoints in Iraq?
There are a whole lot of checkpoints for a "liberated" land.

"Ibrahim Mohammed lies in a hospital bed in Baghdad on July 15.
On his shirt is a tag installed by U.S. soldiers, who shot him, then gave him first aid, then sent him on his way in a taxi."

That old adage about the worth of a picture in this age of the psyop as reality has never held more truth. Pictures of the Occupation and its pernicious daily chaos are the millions of words never broadcast on the corporate airwaves in North America.

As the people of Iraq live with foreign military occupation and the resulting guerrilla war, so many people are waking to daily lives of burning air, shattered bones and fast death.
The thought of existing in a brutally hardcore military police state while working through the equivalent of multiple 7/7/05 London bombings or worse each day until the occupation ends is just mortifying.
It is a heart stopping, nation-redefining terror apocalypse when it happens in the West but the explosive everyday horror in America’s “liberated” oil colony just does not seem to register as “barbaric” in the minds of Bill and Judy Consumer.

Americans should see these pictures. They should know what is really happening in their name.
Between the flashing strobe of Jessica Simpson’s tits, A really huge truck and the Deluxe Burger Combo the smashed faces and strewn legs of Iraq should appear as some attempt at a sobering balance to supplement the raw lard of the self-pitying Western psyche.
Photographs From Iraq: July 15 - 29, 2005
I found the infoshop image link on the great American blog Blondesense .

The Bush/Cheney cartels, Operation Iraqi Liberation has blossomed into a full out war with mounting catastrophic casualties and a vicious sinking feeling. Ever since the fall of the dictator Americans had been taught to hate on a first name basis over the last twenty years, the situation in Iraq has been one monkey-fuck blunder after the next.
The American media continues to do its patronizing and stupid-eyed agitprop jig around the most secrective and deceptive Whitehouse in memory. Talking points are barfed out like pseudo-intellectual ejaculate sewing the seeds of dumbed down and misinformed soundbite "wisdom" among the willfully and blissfully ignorant in the American Bubble.

One might think that the chaos is almost engineered to keep the ultimate goal intact. That is ,of course, the permanent U.S. occupation of Iraq, its New CIA puppet regime and all of that gooey black gold those teaming hordes of China are itching to burn their way into 21st century consumerism with.

As the truth about the barbaric activities of the US Occupiers trickles out into America there seems to be a collective sigh of indifference among the Reality TV/Nascar crowd.
Ironically enough, these are the same dullards who will lock and load with indignant fury when the truth shit hits the fan and their official notice of eventual personal sacrifice aka the Draft arrives on the doorstep of their American Dreams.
Perhaps the "Homeland" will produce new Jessica Lynch props like the sweet young lady pointing at the genitalia of the naked, sack-headed Iraqi man in the war crime photos now splashing the headlines.

This brutal occupation and resulting reaction from the American public will speak volumes about the content of that nations character.

'Shame on the Americans'

"Those abuses included threats of rape and the pouring of liquid from chemical lights on detainees, said the internal report by Major General Antonio Taguba. Detainees were beaten with a broom handle and one was sodomised with "a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick," the report said, according to the magazine's May 10 issue. The pictures have not been widely published by Iraqi newspapers, but many Iraqis have seen them on Arabic satellite television stations."
"After what we saw, all Iraqis will attack the Americans now," said Abdulilah Mohammed, 55, a Baghdad street vendor. "

More photos of prisoner abuse and torture posted online by some pie-wagon stateside like some sort of proud trophy. The Homeland yawned and changed the channel.
