Arsonist Bush is torching the world, so why isn't he being punished?

By Dennis Rahkonen

No criminal is as heinous as the serial killer who murders a number of individuals to fulfill his deranged desires.

But what about a nation that becomes a serial aggressor, invading one country after another to greedily gain their natural wealth, or to make them low-wage, sweatshop locales that profiteering corporations can run away to, closing unionized plants at home and killing good, domestic jobs in the exploitative process?

Isn't that what the Bush administration's foreign policy is really all about, behind the tawdry propaganda camouflage of waging a war on terror?

If current saber rattling comes to its ominous conclusion, America will soon attack Iran, the third victim of orchestrated mass murder militarily inflicted upon people who've done nothing to deserve our bombs and missiles explosively crashing into their humble hovels.

The latest British assessment of how many Iraqis have died since George Bush decided to "liberate" them through withering, indiscriminate Shock and Awe is 1.2 million souls. Among the dead, surely, are countless families that gathered around radios and TVs on 9/11 to be as horrified by what had happened as we ourselves were.

Little could they imagine that the injured United States, taken in a knowingly wrong direction by malevolent neocons, would soon blow them to bloody pieces in wildly misapplied retaliation.

1. We don't say "arsonist" anymore, it's "pyro-terrorist."
Saw that new term in an article about the CA fires.

11. Anthrax for Export
Ah, semiotics.





Anthrax for Export

U.S. companies sold Iraq the ingredients for a witch's brew


by William Blum
The Progressive April 1998 Issue

The United States almost went to war against Iraq in February because of Saddam Hussein's weapons program. In his State of the Union address, President Clinton castigated Hussein for "developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them."

"You cannot defy the will of the world," the President proclaimed. "You have used weapons of mass destruction before. We are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again."

Most Americans listening to the President did not know that the United States supplied Iraq with much of the raw material for creating a chemical and biological warfare program. Nor did the media report that U.S. companies sold Iraq more than $1 billion worth of the components needed to build nuclear weapons and diverse types of missiles, including the infamous Scud.

When Iraq engaged in chemical and biological warfare in the 1980s, barely a peep of moral outrage could be heard from Washington, as it kept supplying Saddam with the materials he needed to build weapons.

From 1980 to 1988, Iraq and Iran waged a terrible war against each other, a war that might not have begun if President Jimmy Carter had not given the Iraqis a green light to attack Iran, in response to repeated provocations. Throughout much of the war, the United States provided military aid and intelligence information to both sides, hoping that each would inflict severe damage on the other.

Noam Chomsky suggests that this strategy is a way for America to keep control of its oil supply:
    "It's been a leading, driving doctrine of U.S. foreign policy since the 1940s that the vast and unparalleled energy resources of the Gulf region will be effectively dominated by the United States and its clients, and, crucially, that no independent indigenous force will be permitted to have a substantial influence on the administration of oil production and price."


During the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq received the lion's share of American support because at the time Iran was regarded as the greater threat to U.S. interests. According to a 1994 Senate report, private American suppliers, licensed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, exported a witch's brew of biological and chemical materials to Iraq from 1985 through 1989. Among the biological materials, which often produce slow, agonizing death, were:
    * Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax.

    * Clostridium Botulinum, a source of botulinum toxin.

    * Histoplasma Capsulatam, cause of a disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord, and heart.

    * Brucella Melitensis, a bacteria that can damage major organs.

    * Clostridium Perfringens, a highly toxic bacteria causing systemic illness.

    * Clostridium tetani, a highly toxigenic substance.


Also on the list: Escherichia coli (E. coli), genetic materials, human and bacterial DNA, and dozens of other pathogenic biological agents. "These biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction," the Senate report stated. "It was later learned that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical to those the United Nations inspectors found and removed from the Iraqi biological warfare program."

2. With all DU respect: Iran will be the fourth victim of Bush's madness
One can even argue that it is the fifth victim, because the United States is being send through hell as well.

Haiti 2004, the forgotten Bush coup



Preparations


Guy Philippe, rebel leader and U.S. Special Forces
On May 2003, a group of at least 20 paramilitary soldiers—trained and funded by the US — cross into Haiti from the neighboring Dominican Republic and attack a hydroelectric power plant on Haiti's central plateau. Shortly after the attack, Dominican authorities, arrest five men, including Guy Philippe (1) and Paul Arcelin, who they believe are plotting the overthrow of Jean-Bertrand Aristide's government.

Also at this time, there is a US build-up along the Dominican border, where “900 US soldiers patrol jointly with the Dominican army, whom they have armed with 20,000 M16s.” Ben Dupuy, general secretary of the left-wing party PPN, tells the left-wing Haiti Progres, “There is no doubt these guys are true terrorists working with the CIA under Dominican protection.” (2)

Operation

Beginning in Gonaïves with the capture of that city's police station on February 5, the rebellion quickly spread to the nearby port city of Saint-Marc (3). Rebels take over cities in northern Haiti and move towards Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, overrunning Aristide's local police forces and vowing to overthrow President Jean-Bertrand Aristide (4)

Barbara Lee writes a letter to Colin Powell accusing the United States of intentionally subverting democracy in Haiti:

I must say, Mr. Secretary, that our failure to support the democratic process and help restore order looks like a covert effort to help overthrow a government. There is a violent coup d’etat in the making, and it appears that the United States is aiding and abetting the attempt to violently topple the Aristide Government.”

http://www.house.gov/lee/releases/04Feb11.htm

On Feb 28, 2004 Jean-Bertrand Aristide informs Jamaican Prime Minister P.J. Patterson that he does not plan to resign (5). The security of Aristide is provided by the Steele Foundation. US officials delay a small group of additional bodyguards from the Steele Foundation on their way to Haiti. (6)

Kidnapping

On February 29, 2004 Aristide was kidnapped by U.S. soldiers escorted on a US-charted to Dominican Republic and then to the Central African Republic. (7)


Colin Powell called the allegations absolutely baseless, absurd. Absolutely false, Luis Moreno, the U.S. Embassy official in Haiti who accompanied Aristide to the airport Sunday, told The Herald. (8). Luis Moreno came to Aristide's Palace to pick him up at 4 AM and Artistide knew why he was there (9). According to Joseph Pierre, a concierge at Aristide's residence, whose account is reported in the French newspaper Libération, Aristide is taken away early Sunday morning by US soldiers. (10)

U.S. Invasion

On March 1, 2004, US President George W. Bush announces that the US is sending US forces to Haiti to help stabilize the country. (11)

CARICOM governments denounced the "removal" of Mr. Aristide from government. They also questioned the legality of subsequent American-backed maneouvers to install a new president. The Prime Minister of Jamaica, P.J. Patterson said that, the episode "sets a dangerous precedent for democratically elected governments anywhere and everywhere, as it promotes the removal of duly elected persons from office by the power of rebel forces." (12)

As of April 2004, the United States, France, Canada and Chile have troops in Haiti as part of a force sanctioned by the United Nations.

7. Another day in Paradise - We don't need another hero
I heard Tina's song about a month ago and it is weird it is like I never listened to the song when it was a hit eons ago.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IV9an1EE9M

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time

We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains


We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home

All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air

And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

So what do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

12. Haiti makes visible their evil.
Jean Bertrand Aristide told me the Generals ran Dope, Inc. on Haiti. Personally.



Sorry if the following is an old read. The thing held true then and holds true still…

I met Jean Bertrand-Aristide after he was deposed by the generals in the early 90s. He came to metro Detroit and spoke before the Cranbrook Peace Foundation.

The newspaper I then worked for didn’t see any reason for sending me to cover Aristide’s speech. The editors weren’t BFEE, but the events on a Caribbean island just weren’t “local” enough for their budget. So, I went on my own time.

The Cranbrook people were happy to see me. They wanted, of course, as much coverage as possible. So, they invited me and the other interested reporter types to have at him for an hour before his address.

I’m ashamed to report, at an important event in two nation’s larger media market, only a couple of CBC radio reporters out of Windsor and one local Detroit TV crew bothered to show. I was the lone print guy. Anyway…

Aristide answered every question asked in English or French. He also told us about life in Haiti, where there were four doctors to care for 4 million people. Another interesting stat: One percent of the population own 99-percent of the property. Gee. It's starting to sound like the U.S. of W.

I asked Aristide, "What can the United States do to help him restore democracy to Haiti?" Aristide said, "All President Bush had to do was pick up the phone, call the generals and say, 'Get out,' and they would quit.

So, all Poppy Doc Bush had to do to end the illegal coup that ended democracy in Haiti and return to power the first democratically elected leader of Haiti in 75 years would be to pick up the phone. Bush didn't and Aristide wasn't until Clinton sent the US Marines, many years and many Haitian lives later.

The reason for Bush Senior's inaction? Aristide said he didn’t know the answer, but he suspected Bush’s politics favored the landowners over the masses. (“Sounds familiar,” I then thought and still think today.)

Aristide said that the generals were deep into the wholesale cocaine importation business. Now who would be their partner in all that? Besides the wealthy landowners, for whom the Generals worked, I mean.

Here's what ConsortiumNews has to say:



America's Historic Debt to Haiti

By Robert Parry
February 10, 2006

As Haiti intrudes again on the U.S. consciousness with a new round of troubled elections, Americans see a violent, backward, poverty-stricken country run by descendants of African slaves. There are feelings of condescension mixed with a touch of racism.

But what few Americans know is that they owe this Caribbean nation a profound historical debt. Indeed, perhaps no nation has done more for the United States than Haiti and been treated as badly in return.

If not for Haiti – which in the 1700s rivaled the American colonies as the most valuable European possession in the Western Hemisphere – the course of U.S. history would have been very different. It is possible that the United States might never have expanded much beyond the Appalachian Mountains.

What altered this early American history was the Haitian slave uprising against France near the end of the 18th Century. This second great anti-colonial revolution in the New World both alarmed and ultimately benefited the leaders of the newly born United States.

At the time, Haiti – then known as St. Domingue and covering the western third of the island of Hispaniola – ranked as perhaps the richest colony in the world. Its carefully cultivated plantations produced nearly one-half the world’s coffee and sugar, and its profits helped build many of the grandest cities of France.

But the human price was unspeakably high. The French had devised a fiendishly cruel slave system that imported enslaved Africans for work in the fields with accounting procedures for their amortization. They were literally worked to death.

The American colonists may have rebelled against Great Britain over issues such as representation in Parliament and arbitrary actions by King George III. But the Haitians took up arms against a brutal system of slavery. One French method for executing troublesome slaves was to insert explosives into their rectums and detonate the bomb.

So, when revolution swept France in 1789, the Jacobins’ cry of “liberty, equality and fraternity” resonated with special force in St. Domingue. African slaves demanded that the concepts of freedom be applied universally, but the plantation system continued, leading to violent slave uprisings.

15. We must do to stop the bloodshedding in Haiti and everywhere else
For some reason I added a picture of Rassoul Labuchin. It seems that his opera Le Mariage Linglinsou has opened last year, however Rassoul is sadly very much an unknown person to most. More than a year ago I noticed a documentary about Rassoul and he is one of those rare people whose compassion is so undeniable that it was like an angel was put in Haiti to help stop the suffering of the people.

I can't find an URL anymore and the interview is in French so any mistake in the translation can be fully blamed on me.

Interviewer: The mayor of Port-au-Prince has recently written an opera.


Le Mariage Linglinsou, the first Haitian opera, was presented to the public last June in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The opera is a love story about a mother who loses her son to Haiti’s violence.

http://haitiphotos.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/first-haitian-opera/
Rassoul Labuchin: Yes, it is an opera meant to heal, exactly. Exactly!

It was the last time I was imprisoned. The third time. I was in my cell and when I folded my mattress and stood on it, I could reach the grating and on the other side I could see José Sinai, an Haitian of Arabian, Syrian or Jewish descend, either way it was a business man.

One day José Sinai said from the other side: "Rassoul, I know that they are going to liberate you and I know that I will end my life here in the prison." and he told me his life story.

And when I learned why he was thrown in jail, I thought to myself: The poor guy, he is not going to make it.

Then a couple of days before my release, José told me with eyes full of tears. He said: "You are going to be released. I know that it is going to happen soon. Remember the reveille from the barracks which wakes us every day. Take those sounds. Give it to the trumpet, the clarion, give it a place in your next work of art."

The opera is about blood. This is a country where there is always blood. It's like a curse. The blood keeps flowing, it never stops. That's what the opera is about.

It's about all that blood and what we must do to stop the bloodshedding in Haiti.

14. We must bomb Iran, says US Republican guru
We couldn't make this stuff up if we tried.



We must bomb Iran, says US Republican guru

By Toby Harnden in New York
Last Updated: 2:14am BST 27/10/2007

A senior foreign policy adviser to the Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani has urged that Iran be bombed using cruise missiles and "bunker busters" to set back Teheran’s nuclear programme by at least five years.

The tough message at a time of crisis between the United States and Iraq was delivered by Norman Podhoretz, one of the founders of neoconservatism, who has also imparted his stark advice personally to a receptive President George W. Bush.

Podhoretz is a founder of neoconservatism

"None of the alternatives to military action - negotiations, sanctions, provoking an internal insurrection - can possibly work," said Mr Podhoretz.

"They’re all ways of evading the terrible choice we have to make which is to either let them get the bomb or to bomb them."

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mr Podhoretz said he was certain that bombing raids could be successful.

"People I’ve talked to have no doubt we could set it back five or 10 years. There are those who believe we can get the underground facilities as well with these highly sophisticated bunker-busting munitions."

Although Mr Podhoretz said he did not speak for Mr Giuliani, the former New York mayor whom he briefs daily appears to have embraced at least the logic of his hard-line views.

During a visit to London last month, Mr Giuliani said Iran should be given "an absolute assurance that, if they get to the point that they are going to become a nuclear power, we will prevent them or we will set them back five or 10 years".

Mr Podhoretz said: "I was very pleased to see him say that. I was even surprised he went that far. I’m sure some of his political people were telling him to go slow ... I wouldn’t advise any candidate to come out and say we have to bomb - it’s not a prudent thing to say at this stage of the campaign."

SNIP...

He is the most eminent of a clutch of uncompromisingly hawkish aides assembled by Mr Giuliani. They include Daniel Pipes, who opposes a Palestinian state and believes America should "inspire fear, not affection", and Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official who has argued that Condoleezza Rice’s diplomacy is "dangerous" and signals American "weakness" to Teheran.

"Does Rudy agree with me?" Mr Podhoretz asked rhetorically. "I don’t know and I don’t wish to know." But he added that "Rudy’s view of the war is very similar to mine."

Mr Podhoretz’s thesis is that the war on terror is in fact World War Four and that the 42-year-long Cold War should be more properly described as World War Three.

Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest honour, by President George W. Bush in 2004, Mr Podhoretz later sought a rare one-on-on audience with the US commander-in-chief. They met in New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel in the spring.

The author of the recent World War IV: the Long Struggle Against Islamofacsism spent about 35 minutes outlining his case for air strikes against Iran as Mr Bush’s then chief adviser Karl Rove took notes.

5. Because the American people do NOT want to believe their government wreaks such horror.
Edited on Fri Oct-26-07 08:41 PM by sicksicksick_N_tired
"WE" want to believe in our "goodness" SO MUCH that we resist reality and believe in our lying eyes (and "their" manipulative lies).

Which is more difficult: pretending reality away or living and breathing and surviving reality (which isn't so bad on a microcosmic scale)?

I confess a desire to avoid the difficult path of acknowledging reality, both within and outside the boundaries of my immediate existence. It's so much easier to ignore or escape matters that conflict with I believe or want. Isn't it? Sometimes, I wish I could be like those who can set such things aside. It would be so much easier to choose escape. *shrug* I can't.

I view Bush as merely a facade on a power-mongering network intent upon controlling humanity so it can wield earth's resources for its own benefit and power. My view is based upon an accumulation of evidence convincing me, beyond a doubt, of the intent of the neocons. The neocon cult completely opposes every value and ideal and hope I have received as a beneficiary of those who sacrificed and willed such things,...to me and a people I proudly call, my own.

That network may be willing to USE/OPPRESS me and the incredibly awesome diverse people of this nation for their own benefit, but only THEY will be damned for doing so. It's just a matter of time before the truth catches with them and they will pay, albeit in ways they had and have no capacity to imagine.

Everyone pays a bill,...only, most bills do not involve the material and can not be paid in cash.

Vietnam and Iraq Wars Started by Same People

BFEE Turd Daniel Pipes tied to DANISH CARTOONS

And for all my friends in those hard-to-reach areas:


A Short History of Conspiracy Theory



Oh, for those new to the subject: Not everyone in the BFEE is named "Bush" and just a small percentage of people named "Bush" are part of the syndicate. Those breathing along in synch with them usually are.

22. Warmongering is a Bush family tradition.
Back in Gulf War I, the 'Highway of Death' demonstrated Poppy's guilt as a war criminal. The guy ordered the extermination of a fleeing army -- most draftees.

Same goes for Operation JUST CAUSE where 2,000 innocent people died in Panama so Poppy could silence his Pineapple-faced cocaine connection, Manuel Noriega.

Ramsey Clark pegs the BFEE -- turds like Averell Harriman and Clark Clifford from the DEM side and Prescott Bush and the Dulles Brothers from the GOP:

“The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.” -- Ramsey Clark
