Iraq was on the verge of independence when ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ began. Granted if the imperialist wanted Iraqis to live in peace they would of lifted devastating sanctions. Sanctions prevented distribution of medicine and other resources to righteous entities in Iraq. It empowered a corrupt system of government and oppressed the people. When Iraq was on the verge of revolution the US struck. It has happened before. Take for example the Kosovo/Milosevic incident. The US apparently through it’s own accord, flew in and saved the day when the Kurds were in need. But if in fact the Kurds were saved Albania wouldn’t be the wrecked country it is today. As in Iraq the Kurds were on the verge of victory when the NATO planes bombed everyone into oblivion making nationalism impossible. Fact is, that if indeed, the US administration at that time wanted to help them out, all it had to do was stop supplying weapons to the Turks. At the commencement of the tyrant empire, US aid to Turkey set records making it the number one buyer of weapons, Israel and Egypt aside. The NATO planes bombed the region simply because it’s citizens wouldn’t play along with the NATO plans. (1) The ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ was similar to ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ in many ways. Cuba had also been on the verge of nationalism and suffered a brutal domestic terrorist campaign labeled ‘Operation Mongoose’ and created by Robert F. Kennedy. The US imperialist regime that carried out the terrorist operations in Cuba were called the Cuban National American Foundation. Cubans wouldn’t be around today if it weren’t for the Missile Crisis. At the time Russia had been surrounded by US’s Jupiter missiles. The US had made the first move planting nukes in Turkey aiming at the heart of Russia. Only when Castro was fed up with the terrorist campaign against his state and when Russia was fed up with nuclear missile being set around it’s borders did the ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ begin. The most frightening aspect of the incident was that when Russia engaged America it did so under a veil of secrecy. But when America engage Russia it did so with full media attention. The ‘Missile Crisis’ incident was critical and almost led the world into a nuclear winter for one reason. If Cuba were a successful state others would follow in it’s footsteps of nationalism. (1) Take for example the ‘School of the Americas’ in Columbus, Georgia. The facility exist only for one reason, to train domestic terrorist for operations in South America. They are to engage anything that resembles nationalism. Protest against the facility are fierce, but the US imperialist doesn’t hesitate in showing off it’s base that specializes in creating criminals who engage in terrorism. Nicaragua was another state that almost became independent before intervention. When on the verge of independence, CIA backed contras commenced it’ s domestic terrorism campaign that killed more people than all the US wars put together. The CIA backed Contras had set the standard for destruction and violence. The World Court decided that the US had to pay Nicaragua 17 to 18 billion dollars in reparations, till the government renounced the claim practically at gunpoint in 1990. Where are the criminals that enacted these horrible crimes? Most of them have been pardoned and work today in the Bush administration. John Negroponte ran the Contra terrorist campaigns from an office in Honduras. He is now the Senior Director of United Nations Near East and North Africa Affairs. Elliot Abrams was indicted on the Iran Contra Scandal, pardoned, and now works for National Security Council Office in the Mid East. The only man who had any credibility in the Bush administration, Colin Powell, has stepped down. The key word here is ‘nationalism’. The US doesn’t build democracies. Quite the contrary. Every time there’s a country on the verge of building it’s own identity it is destroyed by an illegal campaign and brought back to the mercy of the US imperialist. This happens so the US could best take advantage of the country for it’s resources. Nationalism is when a state believes that the country’s resources should go to the people of that country. This is a political agenda that the US imperial government detest. The US imperialist believes that the resources of a nation belong in the hands of capitalist (1). Iraq almost had it’s liberties, but with ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ it will be nearly impossible for it to sustain itself. The American citizens enjoy a superficial democracy while the rest of the world attempts to build it’s own country and is broken down by terrorist campaigns. If in fact there are no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq then the entire Iraq War is illegal. Fundamentally without just cause to attack ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ becomes a terrorist campaign. The president claimed before congress that Saddam has upwards of 30,000 munitions (due to the fact that inspectors had found 16 old canisters). Lying before congress is a felony crime. George Bush stated before the Congress, “Saddam Hussain had materials sufficient to produce 38,000 liters of botulinum toxins, enough to subject millions of people to death by respiratory failure” Philip Coyle, Former Assistant Secretary of Defense and Director of Operational Test and Evaluation at the Pentagon states, “For allot of people who supported the war in Iraq actually believed that Iraq had the capability to fire missiles that could reach the United States carrying payloads of nuclear chemical or biological weapons. Iraq has never had the capability to do that. They didn’t have it in the first gulf war they didn’t have it in this war and they don’t have anyway of getting it in the future” (4) Who are the terrorist? Are they, Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, Mubutu Seko, of Africa, Romania’s Nicolae Ceausescu. All of these men are humble friends of the US imperialist some are even invited to US for vacationing time. Unlike Manual Noriega, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden, who worked directly off the CIA payroll. In the US citizens expect their statesmen to lie, a statesmen should never in their life lie. Mel Goodman, 20 year Senior CIA Analyst states, “The Bush administration decided to go to war...there wasn’t real cause to go to war. WMDs was a trick for the Congress. Iraq didn’t have nuclear capability...It was circumstantial, unqualifying evidence. There was a selective use of information” (4) Graham Fuller Former Vice Chairman of the National Intelligence Council at the CIA states, “I think the real reasons behind the Iraq war... philosophical and geopolitical vision of the neoconservatives who dominate foreign policy establishment today....the United States does dominate the world as the world’s sole superpower it must assert it’s power globally everywhere and anyone who resist it or defies American power is absolutely unacceptable and becomes very much the enemy” (4) The inspections teams sent to overlook Iraq were in actuality, successful. 90% to 95% of weapons in Iraq had been destroyed the government was in compliance with all mandates. Hence there is no justification for war in Iraq. This administration has left the nation with the remnants of a faltered world domination agenda. Furthermore the re-nomination of the president only further mystifies me for it appears that the current administration ruin a plan that must have been in the think tank for quite awhile now. Lots of funds have been allocated to the black budget leaving behind numerous underfunded programs. The Patriot Act has negated centuries of human rights progress and trampled the Constitution. Big Brother is on the prowl for enemy agents surveying our territory or gathering information. The heavy surveillance is reminiscent of any surveillance a nation undertakes when on the verge of war. The US is now the world leader in weapons manufacturing and distribution. Weapons of mass destruction are being made by the thousands. World governments initially joined the coalition of the willing in a patriotic concourse of supposed empowerment. In actuality the participants in the coalition of the willing had their own explicit agendas in mind and when the plans didn’t coincide, the coalition quickly dissipated. The first few countries to join the coalition were Russia, soon after the Chechnya massacre, China willingly joined in, world leader in human rights abuses, Algeria, one of the biggest terrorist countries in the world and Turkey, in light of Milosevic and Kosovo. (6) Not that the imperialistic administration formally advocated for the slaughter of innocent people. It only supplied the weapons and resources needed to the criminals who enacted it, and most likely will commission more weapons accordingly participation in the ‘coalition of the willing’. Terrorism is defined as “the unlawful use of force by a group against people with the intention of coercing government often for ideological or political reasons”. Respectively there are various types of terrorism, popular and unpopular, successful and unsuccessful. The Iraq war could easily be called genocide. By definition many of the insurrections that popular government enact are of a terrorist nature. In order to have an accurate perspective on the 9/11 incident one must understand the status quo of the world in general. Not that the global community was in shock when the towers were hit, the reaction was more like “join the club”. For example in 1962 the US began attacking South Vietnam, which at the time was an ally in fighting the North Vietnamese and Communist. The US in it’s attack on South Vietnam used chemicals weapons on the crops and drove people into Nazi like concentration camps. (6). Despite entire cultures and millions of people wiped out by the South American Death Squads not many people know that they ever existed. The facts of military and political history for any government, not just the US is vastly different from the civilized façade that society lives under. Within history the organization with the most lethal engagement strategy and brutal weapons wins the wars and writes history. Loser of wars didn’t get a page in our history books. The speculation of a brutal society reflects in our childcare problems, environmental issues and international political relations. Why should brutes care about children, environment and friends?(7) Of the most explicit forms of terrorism in history is the Israel, Palestinian conflict. The Al-Aqsa intifada of November 2000, was no doubt one of the worst terrorist campaigns of the age. On May 2003 Israel civil rights attorneys released information on the Al-Aqsa intifada. It consisted of 175 liquidations and 235 killings of which 156 were of criminals. (1) The issue has been confronted by the members of the global community through the resources of the United Nations and International Court. The alliance of the US and Israel associates have successfully manage to negate reprimand in the killing of thousands of innocent civilians through loophole veto power or bribe. Throughout history the US has participated , more often than not, in the suppression of innocent people and the empowerment of corrupt governments. Now the very same cabal that the US empowered during the Reagan era has struck. Likewise the gospel definition of hypocrisy is a person who refuses to apply to himself the standards he imposes on others.(6) The ‘War on Terrorism’ is hypocrisy, nothing more than a insubstantial excuse to despoil the resources of another state. Military bases are now being created faster in various parts of the world. What did Dick Cheney mean when he stated at the Republican National Convention, “Senator Kerry began his political career by saying he would like to see our troops deployed only at the directive of the United Nations…George W. Bush will never seek a permission slip to defend America” Has international relations soured so much that the rest of the world is no longer a factor? Obviously the administration is planning to start a war with either the UN or European Union. Yet it still hasn’t accomplished it’s mission in Iraq and resources are exhausted.
The Iraq War 9/11 Connection
I remember when the reality of 9/11 struck. I was merging into Terrace Avenue from Ottawa Avenue in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. The skyline of where the towers stood, seemed empty, the twin towers were gone and my heart sank. That day after the remorse, I assumed one thing, ‘I will never know what happened on this day’ Government has a tendency to withhold information for 100 years before declassifying it. By that time the info is useless. Silent Weapons for Secret Wars domestic engagement agenda is a good example also is the Elders of Zion works. Yet this day in age is an amazing day in age. Who would of guess that the Masonic brotherhood would harbor a turncoat who published a book on the sect. ‘Hiram Key’ by Christopher Knight. Who would of suspected that the public would discover the secret of the grail in a bestseller fiction book, ‘Da Vinci Code’ by Dan Brown. Most importantly no one could anticipate that high ranking government officials would willingly reveal the secrets of 9/11. 9/11 was a preventable attack that was allowed to occur. After the attack was initiated the imperialistic administration enacted world domination plans called ‘The Project for a New American Century’ (PNAC) (2) and the ‘National Security Strategy of the United States’(2). Both agendas are based on the tactic of pre- emptive warfare. Both are in violation of the Charter of the United Nations, International Law, Geneva Convention, and the Charter of the International Nuremberg Military Tribunal. On February 15, 2001 Gary Hart and Warren Rudman issued its third and final report on national security. The Hart-Rudman report presented findings of a possible treat to national security through terrorist activities. The report was a follow through on years of investigation that prevailed through the Clinton administration. The report fundamentally suggested that the Bush administration create a new department in government called ‘Homeland Security’. ‘Homeland Security’, as it was presented then, would include the collaboration of state and federal law enforcement agencies that, in essence, would deter terrorist attacks on the nation. The Hart-Rudman Commission stated “This commission believes that the security of the American homeland from the threats of the new century should be the primary national security mission of the U.S. government’. Another infringement of ethics and law was the obstruction of the 9/11 commission. The Bush administration was evading the inquiries of the 9/11 commission since it first began. As of recently a revise version was created. This addition of the investigation of 9/11 particular people are targeted for blame by name. Members of the House Intelligence Committee have called on the CIA to turn over the report. The CIA claims to be withholding the document on grounds of national security, a senseless claim. Many believe the department is withholding the documents cause the information could be damaging to the elections. (5) Many government associates have jumped on the bush bashing bandwagon. The most famous of these innovators is Richard Clarke, former senior anti-terrorism expert, who was present through the entire 9/11 affair. His book ‘Against All Enemies’ was one of the first anti-Bush books. Also on the bandwagon is John Dean, formal Counsel to the President of the United States, Chief Minority Counsel to the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives and Associate Deputy Attorney General of the United States. John Dean wrote the bestseller ‘Worst than Watergate’. Former US Attorney General, Ramsey Clarke wrote a 19 count indictment on George Bush, his administration and affiliates. The indictment included the worst crime of all ‘A War of Aggression’ on Iraq. On August 26, 2004 Tony Blair’s impeachment proceedings began, via Britain’s MP’s for his support of the war.
Inevitable War: Results of Operation Iraqi Freedom
This administration has put the nation in a state of emergency. The government is building the biggest and most well equipped army the world has ever seen. The new blitz of arms buildup has many nations on edge. Reasonably there are only two threats to the US that could create such a frenzy, the European Union and the United Nations. The new arms build up negates vital treaties such as the ‘Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty’, the ‘Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty’, the ‘Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty’, and the ‘Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty’. New laws under Bush’s ‘Homeland Security’ and ‘Patriot Act’ debunk hundreds of years of civil/human rights progress. Actions enacted under this imperialistic administration is negligent of it’s own rules, such as the ‘Constitution’, ‘Bill of Rights’ and the ‘Military Code’. An official tribunal indicting the US of war crimes took place on April 17, 2004 in Brussels. The court found the US Government guilty of illegally invading Iraq and attempting to enact global domination. Germany held a tribunal against US, Great Britain and allies. The court held the parties accountable guilty of crimes against humanity via the Geneva Convention, Assembly of the United Nations and the Nuremberg Trials. A tribunal indicting the US of war crimes will be held in Istanbul Turkey March 2005.
