IRAQ: AN ELECTION IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY IS ILLEGAL

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - May 26th - 2006 - The total destruction of some of the poorest countries on earth, and genocides costing millions of lives by the 'Coalition of the Killing', was described during a White House press conference by Bush & Blair as 'missteps'. Bush and Blair, as 'front men' for the worst war criminals on earth, admitted during the propaganda-op that their wars are 'unpopular' and ''that things had not gone as planned''.

The ''Project for a New American Century' (PNAC)*-picture of the world given yesterday, in a global tsunami of propaganda by their press, is light years away from reality. And has nothing to do with the world human beings live in. One of the best descriptions of 'who is doing what to your life', in the United States as well as in the rest of our by them colonialized world, was given by American author Manuel Valenzuela* who put the overwhelming shame and blame where it should be: at the doorstep of what he calls the 'Criminal Cabal' and their murdering mercenaries: be it the US, Israel, the UK, The Netherlands, NATO or whatever.

"The violence and bloodshed in Iraq has been difficult for the civilized world to comprehend." Bush said. Which is not true for billions of people: they see exactly what this global assault and slaughter of human beings and their cultures is about. They have understood that every form of resistance is legal and more needed than ever. Personally, I've said it before and stand by my judgment: I've never in my more than four decades abroad as an independent foreign correspondent seen this global plague hit humanity so hard.

What this PNAC group globally commits - after saying 'the gloves are off' - is the worst which ever happened to mankind. To them there are no valid laws anymore anywhere, nor human rights or human feelings. There's absolutely no compassion to be seen: the bottom line is not our life, but their profit.

The 'celebration' faked in the White Haus, for putting in place another PNAC-puppet regime in Iraq, was too bad for words. The transcript* of their Q & A's is one long list of lies and deception. And again shows who their propaganda stenographers are. Critical journalists are not welcome: ask Helen Thomas, the Grand Old Lay of US journalism who was banned by the PNAC propagandists, also known as 'White Haus speakers'.

IRAQ: AN ELECTION IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY IS ILLEGAL

According to the Geneva Conventions* and international law, the holding of elections etc. in an occupied country is forbidden. It is illegal. The Geneva Convention, Article 54 reads: "The Occupying Power may not alter the status of public officials or judges in the occupied territories, or in any way apply sanctions to or take any measures of coercion or discrimination against them, should they abstain from fulfilling their functions for reasons of conscience."

What Bush, Blair and other liars said yesterday at the press conference was their propaganda-side of this sick PNAC-holocaust: ''As we celebrate this historic moment, it's important to recall how we got there and take stock on how far we've come over the last three years. The violence and bloodshed in Iraq has been difficult for the civilized world to comprehend." it was said.

There's something I learned by experience and which those mass murderers never should forget: the millions of people killed by them do not need to 'comprehend' anymore: in their last moments many understood who did this to them, and their millions of avengers are alive. Everywhere on the globe the responsibles will be killed/neutralized if possible. And this is not 'terror': it's legally justified resistance. They know their Lex Talionis: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."

Like Nobel Literature Prize winner Harold Pinter said last year: "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back."

Manuel Valenzuela wrote about the illegal* invasion of Iraq by the armed forces of the Coalition of the Killing: ''What the Iraq/Bush war shows the world is how a Cabal of Criminality, numbering less than a few hundred individuals, can bamboozle a nation into a war whose ramifications on our future we cannot yet fully comprehend. The Bush war, the single-greatest blunder in America’s foreign policy history, was spawned by greed-addicted corporatists and treasonous neoconartists, presstitute lackeys and political hacks, placed in charge of US foreign policy and the propaganda acting as corporate media, easily in control of a nitwit, ignorant puppet, possessing his bully pulpit from which to spew the fabrications and manipulations needed to con America.

THE CABAL OF CRIMINALITY HAD NO QUALMS

Delusional, incompetent, dangerous and trapped in bubbles of naked grandeur, expecting fictional flowers and candy to flow from Iraqis expected to greet Americans as liberators, the Cabal of Criminality had no qualms sacrificing thousands of American soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens, for greed, power, profit, wealth and ego.

Through lies, deceit, fear-mongering, immorality, chicanery and criminality a group of a few hundred people led America into war, using the new Pearl Harbor, 9/11,* with its plethora of highly charged emotions and fragile psyches, to launch a war they thought would be only the first of many, using Iraq as a beachhead to invade Iran and Syria. Suffocating inside the clouds of 9/11, blinded to reality and captured by delusion, America’s normally stable citizenry was mobilized to seek revenge through war, was conditioned to hate through scapegoats, was silenced by fear and intimidation, was brainwashed to blindly follow through incessant propaganda, jingoism and Madison Avenue style marketing.

In short, Americans were used, enslaved to the dictates of power, branded as sheeple, not people, our emotions of hatred, vengeance, fear and justice used against us, making us impotent conduits of crime and murder. Complicit we became in the delusional game played by the Cabal of Criminality, where the death of 3000 people became the key to unlocking the gates of war upon Mesopotamia. The plan had been set in motion, the new Pearl Harbor was allowed to bear fruit, the cataclysmic event needed to enrage the people and grease up the machines of war would not be stopped.

AMERICA IS THE CAUSE AND THE EFFECT OF THE RESISTANCE

The reason Iraqis fight, whether carrying AK-47’s or giving logistical support.

Whether planting improvised explosive devices or acting as eyes and ears infiltrating the Green Zone, Iraqis see America as the enemy, yet one more imperial invading army thinking itself blessed by providence to claim the lands of the Fertile Crescent. A guerilla army cannot function without the support of the citizenry, and neither can the success the resistance is having against American forces. With every Iraqi death a dozen more resistance fighters join the battle, with every Iraqi death or American crime the hatred grows and calls for vengeance beckon. Trapped inside a vicious cycle of violence begetting violence, American forces have been their own worst enemy. Each year the resistance grows stronger, more sophisticated, more dangerous, learning, improving, evolving, and becoming ever more destructive. America’s presence and prolonged occupation of Iraq will only exacerbate an already volatile vortex of violence.

YET TO THE CABAL OF CRIMINALITY LURKING AND SLITHERING IN THE HALLS OF POWER THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICA’S YOUNG MEAN NOT A THING.

The Cabal of Criminality has transformed American citizen soldiers into conduits of human evil, importing into Iraq tyranny, American style, replacing wickedness with wickedness, negative energy with negative energy. Thousands of normal, beautiful and otherwise decent human beings have been forced to commit heinous crimes against Iraqis for nothing but lies, greed and criminality. They have been forced to combat peoples fighting for freedom from occupation, freedom from tyranny, freedom to live in security and happiness.

Fighting an entire population, killing over a hundred thousand people, destroying homes, lives and futures, unleashing hatred and animosity where none existed before, American forces have been forced to confront and oftentimes displace their own morality, replacing them with the principles of the Cabal of Criminality whose unscrupulous pathology bulldozes over anything and everything standing in their way, caring not an ounce for humanity, or for the effects their actions will one day have on future generations of Americans.

"THEY ARE LIARS, CONNIVERS, FRAUDSTERS AND EMBEZZLERS"

Any observer of global geopolitics, who has not been bribed, bullied or bought by the PNAC, and daily seeing the world turned further into an enormous 'Slaughterhouse 5' by those criminals, has to fully agree with Manuel Valenzuela: "Yet even in the face of constant failure the Cabal of Criminality persists, for their kind tramples of anything to retain power. They are liars, connivers, fraudsters and embezzlers, the worst of the human condition, laying waste, through their policies and control mechanisms, to millions of human energies around the planet.

For they are a dangerous and vicious animal, capable of anything when cornered and trapped, sleazy and unscrupulous, caring not an ounce for the consequences to their actions. They have much destruction and carnage yet to unleash, for in their actions can be seen the madness of fools, the inherent callousness of psychopathic tendencies. If left powerful and strong there is no predicting what their next move might be.

QUITE SIMPLY, THEY BELONG IN A TRIBUNAL, TRIED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND AGAINST THE PLANET, ROTTING AWAY INSIDE THE DARK CELLS AT THE HAGUE OR IN ABU GHRAIB, IMPRISONED FOR THE WORLD ENTIRE TO SEE, FINALLY MADE TO STOP THEIR MADNESS, GIVEN A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE, FORCED TO CONTEMPLATE THE DEVIOUSNESS OF THEIR ACTIONS AND THE RESULTS OF THEIR EXISTENCE.

[endquote] - Please do read the full story of your life on our planet, which Valenzuela phrases much better: understand the reality surrounding you and your world, and than do something about it! - Any resistance is better than no resistance at all! - Url.: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11203.htm
