Plight for Christians 'Worst Ever' in Iraq



The Rev. Andrew White, vicar of St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad, says he fears that after several millennia Christianity may be at an end in Iraq.


"The future's very bleak," he said in an interview with CNSNews.com. "For the first time, I've had to consider the very real fact that Christianity may be at an end here. "We don't know if it will survive. Nobody wants to stay here. Everybody wants to get out of here."


Asked to describe the current situation in Baghdad as militants with the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) terrorize Iraq, Rev. White said it "is basically the worst it's ever been. People are very fearful."

Islamic State jihadists have carried out mass executions, abducted women and girls as sex slaves, and used children as fighters in systematic violations that may amount to war crimes, the United Nations said.


They have been terrifying communities into submission by slaughtering those who resist, and are especially targeting minorities, including Christians. American air strikes seem to be doing little to stop the Islamists' advance.


At the time of his CNSNews interview, Rev. White said Islamic State forces were "two miles away" from Baghdad.


"People are fleeing in the hundreds," he said. "We saw all the people who were made to leave Mosul and Nineveh, and now we've seen several come back to Baghdad because things are so bad in the north."


He said that Christians in northern areas of Iraq, where the Islamists have been attacking Christian villages, "are literally homeless. They've no longer got their homes or their security, and they're living in camps. Things are really bad."


White works with the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East to provide aid and promote reconciliation among different religious groups in Baghdad.

As the Insider Report disclosed last week, France's Chief Rabbi Haim Korsia has compared ISIS militants to Nazis and likened Christians and other minorities

Mark of Chrstian Being Forced on Iraqis

I suggest you read the article at the original site - lots of pictures; click on title below. CMR

Shoebat Foundation
By Walid Shoebat And Theodore Shoebat 

The black writing says “Property of the Islamic State” but the red spray paint is a specific mark. No it is not a smiley face but the Arabic letter “N” for Nusrani (Nazarene/Christian). Nazarene was actually the term Roman pagans, especially the Roman tyrant Julian the Apostate, used when referring to the ancient Christians. Now the Muslim pagans are using it today when killing and tyrannizing the Christians. 

While the Muslims mark themselves on their foreheads and right arms with the banners of Allah, the Christians are beginning to be forced to have the mark of “Christian”.

And while such persecution is a curse, such suffering is a blessing since “Christian” is the mark of God.

Markings are important and stem from ancient history. During the 4th century pagan king Julian, who was so vindictive toward the Christians that he wrote a book entitled, Against the Christians, in which he chided them for rejecting the idolatrous shield, for drawing the Cross (the mark of God) on their foreheads, and for worshiping Jesus. 

The Bible is clear that the true Christians eventually will have the mark of God on their foreheads. (Rev. 14:1, Rev. 22:4, Rev. 9:4). 

But what we discovered in Iraq is reminiscent to an impending holocaust and is what happened to the Jews in Germany before they were set for extinction: 

I have written about this coming epidemic in my first writings “Israel and the World’s Mock Trial” nearly two decades ago in which I explained the reason of these markings on Christian homes in Iraq is that in Islam Christians and Jews must wear identifiable clothing and live in a clearly marked house and must not build their houses in the neighborhood of Muslims. (See Sunan Abu Daud, Book 38, #4390). 

The situation has become a prelude to what happened in Nazi Germany and today who in the West is talking about the marking of Christian homes in Iraq? No one. Recently, some 20 Christian leaders reportedly agreed to the conditions made by the Islamists, including payment of a twice-yearly protection tax, ranging from about $125 to $500, depending on personal income levels. 

Nina Shea, director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom in Washington, expanded on the restrictions in the National Review. “They are forbidden from reading scripture indoors loud enough for Muslims outside to hear, and the practice of their faith must be confined within the walls of their remaining churches, not exercised publicly (at, for example, funeral or wedding processions),” wrote Ms. Shea, who characterized the requirements as returning to rules attributed to the seventh-century caliphate. 

Shea was speaking of the Omar Charter. Throughout the centuries the Jews suffered by the founders of the Islam faith to this day. The infamous Omar Charter declared:
The necks of Dhimmis (Jew and Christians with no rights in the land) are to be sealed when collecting the Jezzieh (tax imposed on Jews and Christians). The method of sealing is to bind the necks of the person with a collar, in it is a piece of lead, stamped on it the amount of his payment, the collar is not to be broken until the payment is completed. This is in accordance to the Quranic verse ‘Until they pay the Jezzieh by an upper hand, may they be subjugated (humiliated)’…And if the person was a Jew, he must wear on his shoulder a red or yellow banner, so he is recognized as a Jew. And if the person is a Christian, he needs to wear harsh clothes, with a large pocket in the chest area like women. As for Christian women, they must wear shoes with different colors, one black and the other white. And if a Jew or a Christian goes into a public bath, he must wear an iron, copper, or lead made collar around his neck so he can be identified from Muslims. Never a Jew or a Christian can build houses higher than a Muslim. They are not to crowd public roads but need to use narrow alleyways, and small streets. They are not to be saluted, nor their graves can be extended beyond the surface of the ground. 

While the US is paying lip service. The ultimatum given to Christians in Syria and Iraq is but the most recent casualty of the West’s inaction. 

It is amazing that during today’s demonstrations, Islamists and the liberal left wave the slogan 
Zionism = Nazism, yet a comparison between Nazi law toward Jews, and Dhimmi Law (Jews and other citizens with no rights) in the Omar Charter will reveal a true commonality: 

Nazism: Jews need to wear a mark on their clothing to identify them as Jews. The Star of David for identification with the word (Jude) (must be) on the chest. A yellow banner is to be fixed around the shoulder or arm, as to be recognized as a Jew. They must live in the Jewish Ghettos. 

Islam: Dhimmis (Jews & Christians) must wear identifiable clothing and live in a clearly marked house. For Jews, a yellow banner is to be fixed around the shoulder or arm, as to be recognized as a Jew. [1] 

Nazism: Jews are not permitted to serve in the army or navy. They are not allowed to bear arms.
Islam: He must not ride a horse or bear arms. He must yield the right-of-way to Muslims.  

Nazism: Jews cannot hold public offices, whether national, state, or municipal, salaried or honorary, (they) are closed to Jews. Jews cannot be Judges in criminal and disciplinary cases. Jews cannot serve on juries. (Lucy Dawidowicz, The War Against The Jews, Anti-Jewish Legislation, p. 72.)

Islam: Dhimmis (Jews & Christians) cannot be a witness in a legal court except in matters relating to other “Dhimmis” (Jews & Christians) or be a judge in a Muslim court.  

Nazism: As compensation for the protection that Jews enjoy as aliens, they must pay double the taxes the Germans pay. (Ibid., p. 75.) 

Islam: As compensation for the protection that Dhimmis (Jews & Christians) enjoy, they must pay “Jizzieh,” a special tax to be imposed on Dhimmis (Jews & Christians) only.  

Nazism: Marriage to Jews is prohibited. Adoption of Jews and by Jews is prohibited. (Ibid., p. 84.)

Islam: A Jew cannot be the guardian of a Muslim child, or the owner of a Muslim slave.
Nazism: Jews must live in Ghettos. 

Islam: They may not build their houses in the neighborhood of Muslims.  

But perhaps it is time for the Christian Arabs to recognize that there is something in common between them and the Jewish people. That such persecution that was targeting the Jews has come to the Christians. It is as they say in the Middle East, Saturday people first and Sunday people next. It is perhaps time for Christians in the Middle East to stop listening to the decades of anti-Israel propaganda: the two sects of the Bible are equally targeted regardless if one of the two refuses to agree with the other. 

We have been leading the way telling the world all about this coming Christian holocaust and we ask you to please MAKE A DONATION THAT WILL SAVE CHRISTIAN LIVES BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

90% of Mosul's Christians Have Fled The City

From The Tablet, Catholic Int'l News Weekly

Mosul's ancient Christian population may never return, laments archbishop of city seized by insurgents
 
11 June 2014 11:49 by Abigail Frymann, Liz Dodd
 
The Islamist overthrow of the Iraqi city of Mosul has emptied it of its ancient Christian population, who may never return, the Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Mosul said.

Archbishop Amel Nona said he had “never seen anything like” the attack on the northern city this week, which is part of an ongoing campaign to set up an Islamic state in northern Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who are also known as ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Group).

Mosul, historically a Christian heartland, was home to 35,000 Christians before the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. In the 11 years since, its Christian population has drained to just 3,000. World Watch Monitor, which monitors Christian persecution, reported that up to a thousand Christian families had fled this week for safer areas.

The archbishop told the Christian charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN): “We have never seen anything like this – a large city such as Mosul attacked and in chaos.” He went on: “Now there is probably no one left. We received threats… [and] now all the faithful have fled the city. I wonder if they will ever return there.”

Archbishop Nona said the city had been left “to the mercy of the attackers” after the Iraqi army and police suddenly withdrew. Mosul’s last remaining Christians were among the 500,000 people to flee this week after hundreds, if not thousands, of insurgents seized control of the seat of Mosul’s provincial government.

Canon Andrew White, vicar of St George's Anglican church in Baghdad, wrote: “Iraq is now in its worst crisis since the 2003 war.” ISIL, he said, “does not even see Al Qaeda as extreme enough,” and has … “destroyed all government departments. Allowed all prisoners out of the prisons. Killed countless numbers of people. There are bodies over the streets. The army and police have fled, so many of the military resources have been captured. Tankers, armed vehicles and even helicopters are now in the hands of ISIS.”

He added: “The Christian centre of Iraq has been totally ransacked. The tanks are moving into the Christian villages destroying them and causing total carnage. The ISIS militants are now moving towards Kirkuk … to the oil fields that provide the lifeblood of Iraq. We are faced with total war that all the Iraqi military have now retreated from.”

A Dominican priest in Mosul wrote: "What we are living and what we have seen over the last two days is horrible and catastrophic." Fr Najeeb Michaeel said the ancient priory of Mar Behnam and other churches fell into the hands of the rebels on Tuesday morning, the US-based charity International Christian Concern reported. "We are now surrounded and threatened with death ... pray for us."

The militia group now controls considerable territory in eastern Syria and western and central Iraq.

Mosul's Christian population had lived with the fear of violence since the invasion and the insecurity that followed the overthrow of President Saddam Hussein. In 2008 Archbishop Nona’s predecessor, Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho, was kidnapped and murdered.

Christians in Syria


I plead guilty to falling woefully short of remembering our fellow Christians in other parts of the world, many of whom are going through terrible times, persecution, and even death to God's glory during these harsh days. Our prayers will result in comfort and sustenance to them.

The price of regime change

 
By David Warren, Ottawa Citizen February 18, 2012

 
There are millions of Christians in Syria, who probably have the Russians and Chinese to thank that they may live there a little longer. The Security Council vetoes, a fortnight ago, on a resolution calling upon Syria's dictator to step down, and supporting an Arab-sponsored plan to "end the violence," put paid to any immediate prospect of western intervention.

The outrage expressed by Hillary Clinton, William Hague, and other western foreign ministers, probably concealed a little relief, for the vetoes provided the excuse they needed to avoid the issue, while continuing to posture about "humanitarianism" and "democracy."

Let me be clear: I carry no brief for Putin's Russia, or the PRC, let alone the Assad family's monstrous regime in Damascus. The obvious needs restating from time to time: that many, perhaps most of the world's governments are in the hands of evil tyrants (if gentle reader will forgive the pleonasm). Thus it often happens that we must appear to support one evil, in order to obviate a worse. This necessarily involves taking heat from utopian slogan-chanters.

That the Russians have ulterior motives, in supporting Bashar al-Assad, could almost go without saying. They have a naval base at Tartus: an interesting relic of the Soviet evil empire. It was their last supply and maintenance facility in the Mediterranean. Over the last few years, this port has been dredged, renovated, and expanded to accommodate nuclear-armed warships, as Vladimir Putin revives Russia's old imperial dreams. He inherited the Soviet special relationship with the Assad family, and Syria remains a major customer for Russian military hardware, too.

China's covering veto was almost certainly a cynical quid-pro-quo, for Russian energy supplies.

Nor does the horrific violence in Syria please anyone who is sane.

Though here, it is important to grasp that we are getting the same stilted information that comes with all "Arab Spring" reporting. Media both East and West, for different reasons, have taken a partisan position, and assigned white and black hats to the respective contestants for power. The opposition to Assad is presented as if it were a unified "resistance movement," of an "oppressed people."

The truth is we do not know much about what is happening inside Syria - just as we knew and know little about Libya, where, now that Gadhafi is dead, "the show is over" for the western audience. Journalists who (courageously) enter Syria are seldom in a position to check the hearsay they must forward as breaking news to deadline. As an old editor, it distresses me to see things as specific as body counts reported, from places where there are no disinterested observers.

It should also be remembered that all governments, even the most angelic, try to maintain order. When rebels seize bastions in Homs or elsewhere, overpowering local authorities, of course the state's soldiers will go in. To present the Syrian regime's defensive efforts, as if it were shelling for the sheer gratuitous pleasure of demolishing old towns, is to overstate the case for the opposition.

We have received little hints that indeed, al-Qaeda and other terrorist Islamists are engaged in that opposition. The very existence of a "Free Syrian Army," in support of a "Syrian National Council" suggests the violence is not confined to one side; and many of the victims of this violence are likely to be (as in Libya, again) unarmed people loyal to the regime, who become targets for vengeance when the regime's soldiers are out of reach.

No reliable census has been conducted, or even attempted in Syria, since the days of the French mandate; all demographic reports are crude estimates. Perhaps three-infive of a population above 20 million are Arab Sunni Muslims. Almost all the rest have some interest in the preservation of the Assad family's rule - not for any love of the regime, but because they can see the alternative.

Assad's extended family and inner core are Alawites - a Shia Islamic sect, long associated with the Mediterranean port of Latakia and its environs. They have a reputation as fierce fighters, going back a thousand years, through which they have resisted many attempts at forcible conversion to Sunni Islam. The links they forged with Syriac Christians (a sizable community going back 2,000 years), Armenian Christians, the Druze, the Kurds, Syrian Turkmen, and others, bespeaks a remarkable (if seldom edifying) story of survival.

Christians were as common in Syria as in Egypt, before their numbers were immensely swelled by refugees from Iraq - well over a million fleeing up the Euphrates River valley, from anti-Christian persecution by Iraq's Islamists. By now, there could be more than four million Christians within Syria's borders.

When the Assad regime falls, it will be open season on them, on the Alawites, and all the other minorities. Granted, Assad is a monster who has earned an ugly fate. But at what expense should we indulge the fleeting satisfaction of deposing him?

Atrocities Committed In The Name of U.S. Citizens

How are we U.S. citizens any different than the Germans in WWII? We have allowed sheer evil to be done in our names. We have been blind, deaf and dumb - on many levels - while we have worshipped whatever money could buy. Even now, the number one concern of voting Americans is "the economy," as it has been for many years.  Not morality, ethics, right or wrong, but money. How, then, are we any different from the greedy and corrupt leaders of our corporations, banks and government?


Original article copied below is at this link.

All Iraq is now poisoned with Depleted Uranium -- the soil, the water and the air.
 
People are dying in far higher numbers than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan following the August, 1945, nuclear attacks. Worst case scenario is now being realized!

NEWS BRIEF: Fallujah babies: Under a new kind of siege", Aljazeera News, 06 January 2012
"Fallujah, Iraq - While the US military has formally withdrawn from Iraq, doctors and residents of Fallujah are blaming weapons like depleted uranium and white phosphorous used during two devastating US attacks on Fallujah in 2004 for what are being described as 'catastrophic' levels of birth defects and abnormalities. Dr Samira Alani, a paediatric specialist at Fallujah General Hospital, has taken a personal interest in investigating an explosion of congenital abnormalities that have mushroomed in the wake of the US sieges since 2005."

In April, 2003, just days after Coalition Forces had gained control of Baghdad, I received a phone call from a subscriber who was a military doctor in a Middle Eastern country; this doctor was trained in modern desert warfare, including the use of Depleted Uranium weapons, the type of weaponry being used by American and British armies in Iraq and Afghanistan. The result of these conversations, plus many hours of independent research, can be found in articles located in our section entitled, "Depleted Uranium". We encourage you to read these articles in depth, because the "worst case scenario" is unfolding daily in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries as far away as 1,000 miles from the battlefields.

What is this worst case health scenario? This military doctor told me that, 20-30 years after the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, these two countries would become uninhabitable; citizens would be dying by the tens of thousands, neighboring countries would refuse to allow them to cross the border, and the land would be so poisoned by Depleted Uranium that it would be considered a "dead country". With this background, let us examine pertinent excerpts of this current news article so that we can see how absolutely correct this military doctor was in April, 2003.

" 'We have all kinds of defects now, ranging from congenital heart disease to severe physical abnormalities, both in numbers you cannot imagine', Alani told Al Jazeera at her office in the hospital, while showing countless photos of shocking birth defects ... 'There are not even medical terms to describe some of these conditions because we've never seen them until now' ... "

"Alani showed Al Jazeera hundreds of photos of babies born with cleft palates, elongated heads, a baby born with one eye in the centre of its face, overgrown limbs, short limbs, and malformed ears, noses and spines. She told Al Jazeera of cases of 'thanatophoric dysplasia', an abnormality in bones and the thoracic cage that 'render the newborn incompatible with life'."

People are now being born with conditions which render them "incompatible with life"! Within another 20 years, the entire population will be suffering from fatal health issues which will render THEM "incompatible with life"! The entire country will be dying and will probably be sealed off by the outside world so these poor people cannot bring their health issues with them to another country.
Returning to our featured news article:

"One of them was born and looks like a fish ... In April 2011, Iraqi lawmakers debated whether the US attacks on the city constituted genocide. Resolutions that called for international prosecution, however, went nowhere."

Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has called for American leaders to be charged by an international court with war crimes genocide because of the use of Depleted Uranium weapons in Iraq. Read full details in NEWS2093. Not surprisingly, this call has also been ignored by the international court, which is as thoroughly committed to the Plan of the New World Order as is the Skull & Bones President who initiated this war and the current President Obama who continued the war for almost three years into his administration.

Now, let us return to our featured news story.

"Alani and Busby, along with other doctors and researchers, published a study in September 2011 from data obtained by analysing the hair samples, as well as soil and water samples from the city. Mercury, Uranium, Bizmuth and other trace elements were found. The report's conclusion states ... 'none of the elements found in excess are reported to cause congenital diseases and cancer except Uranium, these findings suggest the enriched Uranium exposure is either a primary cause or related to the cause of the congenital anomaly and cancer increases. Questions are thus raised about the characteristics and composition of weapons now being deployed in modern battlefields. As doctors, we know Mercury, Uranium and Bismuth can contribute to the development of congenital abnormalities, and we think it could be related to the use of prohibited weapons by the Americans during these battles', Alani said." (Emphasis added) 

During the attacks at Fallujah, enough news reports about the use of D.U. weaponry and other prohibited weapons were made public that we at Cutting Edge certainly knew that the entire city was being decimated and that prohibited weapons were being used by American forces. We were screaming during this entire period that Depleted Uranium weapons were being used against a helpless citizenry.

But, few people cared enough to force the Bush Administration to stop this barbarous attack.

Two years later, we posted an article entitled, "NUCLEAR ARMED IRAN VS. NUCLEAR ARMED AMERICA -- WHOM SHOULD THE WORLD FEAR?" (NEWS2120). We were very tired of seeing America being considered by her own citizens and by the Media of the world as being very responsible in her use of nuclear weapons, while a country like Iran is being severely criticized for her supposed lack of responsibility in how she would handle nuclear weapons. Our conclusion was simple: The first reality with which you must come to grips is that Iran has possessed nuclear weapons since early 2002! (Quoting from NEWS1660.) How much of a threat to her neighbors has her arsenal proven? After all, that is the key to any country who possesses nuclear weapons -- will they handle the weaponry responsibly or will they threaten their regional neighbors? And, in this age of terrorism, will they give some small nuclear devices to terrorists who will use them against Western cities in acts of terror? The answer is "no nuclear threat" has come from Iranian leaders, either to their neighbors or to any Western nation, and there is no evidence that Iran is sharing her nuclear warheads with terrorists.
America, on the other hand, has launched several nuclear attacks since August, 1945. This is the list of countries which America has attacked with nuclear weapons:

1) America is the only nation in history who actually used nuclear bombs in a declared war -- in 1945 against Japan.
2) 1991 -- Gulf War I -- Please read NEWS1843 to see that 75% of those fighting men and women are now dying or are dead, and that two-thirds of all babies born since soldiers returned have been born with severe birth defects. George H.W. Bush was President.
3) 1999 -- Bosnia and Kosovo in the Balkans -- William Clinton was President.
4) 2001 -- Afghanistan -- President George W. Bush is President.
5) 2003-December 31, 2011 -- Iraq -- President George W. Bush is President.

At this point, you are probably protesting that no nuclear warfare has been unleashed in these wars; after all, you have watched nightly news and you saw no mushroom-shaped white clouds which are so indicative that someone has exploded nuclear weapons. If this is your thinking, you are looking for the wrong indicator that American forces are using nuclear weapons.

You see, the nuclear war which these presidents have unleashed upon these nations is a silent type of nuclear weaponry -- Depleted Uranium! Peoples of the world have every reason to fear nuclear war from the United States, not from any "Axis of Evil" nation, so designated by President Bush.

Now, we learn that NATO used Depleted Uranium against Libyan targets on 2011. The entire "Non-Integrating Gap" is being poisoned systematically with D.U. weaponry! The nightmare scenario set forth in the DVD, "Beyond Treason" is coming true in the absolute worst case scenario ever conceived.

Before leaving this subject, let us return once more to this featured news story.
" 'The air, soil and water are all polluted by these weapons, and as they come into contact with human beings, they become poisonous. This is new to our region, and people are suffering here' ... Abdulhaq Al-Ani, author of ,Uranium in Iraq has been researching the effects of depleted uranium on Iraqis since 1991. He told Al Jazeera he personally measured radiation levels in the city of Kerbala, as well as in Basra, and his Geiger counter was 'screaming' because 'the indicator went beyond the range' ... "

Even though President Bush and every single American leader who has launched this horrific uranium war against the helpless citizens of Iraq will be brought in to judgment at the White Throne Judgment Seat, we must take note that the 2,500 year-old-prophecy of Isaiah 13 against Ancient Babylon (Iraq) is now nearly completed (Read NEWS2171 for full details).  www.cuttingedge.org

DECEPTIONS: #2 - 9/11, Bin Laden, Etal

GORDON DUFF: CIA HINTS, BIN LADEN DEAD SINCE “EARLY 2000′s”
June 29, 2010 posted by Gordon Duff ·

CIA Tries To Prepare American Public For Truth About Bush/Bin Laden Deception
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

This week, CIA director Leon Panetta, admitted there has been no information on Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts since “the early 2000′s.” During briefings with the directors of Pakistan’s information and intelligence agencies it was confirmed that Osama bin Laden had been killed, as stated by Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, in 2001.

“Informed sources,” senior Pakistani commanders who worked with the CIA and bin Laden against the Soviets back in the 1980s, had confirmed Osama bin Laden’s death, as reported in the mainstream Islamic news, as having occurred on December 15, 2001. Confirmations this week by CIA Director Panetta that Al Qaeda strength is negligible is preparation for a accompanying “sea change” in the US approach toward ending the conflict in Afghanistan.

For years, General McChrystal, whose recent resignation for “foot in the mouth disease” ignored the facts of Afghanistan, hatred by Afghani’s of Karzai, massive corruption, huge US payoffs to the Taliban and involvement by everyone around him in the drug cartel led by his friends in the Northern Alliance and “Karzai Brothers Incorporated.” His only military success, the Marjeh operation, turned out to be one of the worst military failures in American histroy, attacking an lightly populated area, misrepresented as a huge enemy stronghold and still not being able to hold onto even that.

America awaits General Stanley McChrystal, the famed “bin Laden hunter,” waiting to see what right wing extremist group or defense contractor opens its checkbook first, thanking him for his years of extremely unsuccessful but “oh so profitable” service. He will then spend his life, or the remainder of it, playing golf at GOP functions and whining about how he was betrayed and kept from “winning the war in Vietnam” or was it Afghanistan? Did he ever really know the difference?

“OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE”…SIR WALTER SCOTT
The famed Scottish poet had no idea he would be describing the Bush/Cheney “War on Terror” when he wrote these immortal words so many years ago. What do we know is true? There was once a man named Osama bin Laden. His family, lifelong friends of the Bush clan, are wealthy pro-American Saudis. Their son, Osama bin Laden, was a sensitive, deeply religious family man who agreed to fight alongside the CIA backed Mujahideen in Afghanistan. Beyond this, we know nothing at all. With audio and video recordings of bin Laden now debunked as phony or mistranslations, there is little evidence that bin Laden ever encouraged or supported terrorism in any way. The massive weight of generally accepted belief, based on literally millions of stories of bin Laden’s terrorist groups and their endless machinations are just that, stories, remnants of the dark recesses of Paul Wolfowitz, Karl Rove and Dick Cheney’s imagination and desire to invent a “Hitleresque” enemy to blame the mysteries of 9/11 on.

Similarly, Al Qaeda is really an invention, simply a brand name put on a disorganized group of suicide bombers, angry tribesmen, drug dealers and CIA/Mossad agents. You can’t spend three trillion dollars, suspend the constitution and invade country after country, not without an “axis of evil,” a terrorist mastermind and a mysterious organization bent on world destruction, mythology right out of a James Bond novel. The best part of it, all you have to do is invade countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and, low and behold, you will be up to your neck in civil war, terrorism suicide bombers, IEDs and debt.

With war profits soaring, gasoline prices through the roof, the national debt at over 13 trillion dollars and 65 billion in heroin pumping out of Afghanistan, a country totally “poppy free” when we arrived, it doesn’t take a genius to see why it was so important for the “cardboard lotharios” Bush and Cheney to invent make-believe bad guys who could never be beaten because they never existed in the first place.

THE LIES THAT KILLED OUR VIETNAM POWS
When Kissinger negotiated the disastrous end to the Vietnam war, getting back half our POWs and setting up the destruction of South Vietnam, all to get his Nobel Peace Prize, he was simply doing what he does best, deceiving. When, after Nixon announced one of the great lies of his political career, and that is saying alot, that “all” POW’s had been returned, he condemned hundreds of Americans to a lingering death in South Vietnam. Veterans Today editor, Special Forces Colonel Jim Hanke, while a POW recovery officer in Thailand tells of reliable live sightings many years after the end of the war.

When tapes were declassified and released, tapes of Nixon and Kissinger discussing POWs held by North Vietnam inside Laos, hundreds of Americans who had never been mentioned in the peace agreement, the news was quickly suppressed, kept out of the papers, kept away from our military. Thus, when after the war, for decades, Senator John McCain, worked to suppress evidence, silenced activists and provide cover for the North Vietnamese government reputed to have tortured him for years, a claim refuted by Colonel Ted Guy, we see lies compound, lies that cost American lives. These lies from Vietnam, whether the secret military records of George W. Bush or the secret POW debriefing of John McCain or the secret reports by General Jan Senja of American POWs shipped to Russian gulags, all share the same end results as the Bush era “whoppers” involving 9/11, Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, CIA involvement in Afghan drugs or the massive Blackwater/Halliburton financial scandals and dozens of other issues, not dozens, more likely hundreds.

“HOW TO UNSCREW A LIGHT BULB”
All evidence the US used, Colin Powell swore to, all evidence Bush gave the America public regarding Iraq, weapons of mass destruction, 9/11, Afghanistan, domestic terrorism, Hurricane Katrina, his secret visits to Dover Air Force base to greet American war dead, in fact almost everything he ever said, they ever said, was untrue. Time has debunked all of it. No weapons were found. No Osama bin Laden was found. No training bases in Afghanistan were found. All we have are a few confessions, gotten through torture and thousands of questions unanswered, questions about criminal acts committed by hundreds of government and military officials, not just illegal torture or kidnapping but mostly financial crimes, outright theft, hundreds of billions disappeared, covered up, hidden away, written off as though it never existed.

For years, those surrounding Obama have been trying to get out from under the pile of manure sold the American people as rose petals. Real courage would be “tough love.” No, boys with box cutters didn’t knock down the World Trade Center, especially “magic building 7.”

No, Osama bin Laden didn’t get plastic surgery, shrink 5 inches and move to Israel to make video tapes, especially not after he died.

No, those mysterious terrorist organizations that can only be fought by landing plane after plane on runways adjacent to heroin producing facilities…

Yes, imagine the dozens of terrorists that thousands of Americans, died to find, hundreds of thousands have been wounded or injured to destroy, terrorists living at the ends of the earth with nothing to blow up but rocks and mud huts. What’s wrong with this picture?

America has known for certain, no doubt, that Osama bin Laden has been dead yet over 300 Americas have lost their lives looking for him since then, all to perpetuate a lie, a scam to play election games with, scare small children and play on the fears of the weak minded.

Add the 5000 dead, following Colin Powell’s fairly tales about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose lives have been destroyed, million of lives in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and you have a tragedy of epic proportions, all perpetrated for personal gain, all nothing but a massive fraud.
