U.S. Major General Smedley Butler: "For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it."
Henk Ruyssenaars
December 31st 2009 - According to all international law and conventions, what the armed gofers of the criminal cartel are doing in their killing fields in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Africa a.s.o. are pure war crimes. Those crimes against humanity are morally or in any other way defendable. The only goal of the illegal invasions and the killing, is the robbery of resources at any price to the others.
Then ten people killed now again in Afghanistan, of which eight small children, were described by the Dutch media as 'young Taliban fighters.' It is absolutely incomprehensible how those propagandists can stoop so low concerning human lives. They live with millions of illegally killed and suffering human beings in those countries, and just do their collaborating work? And the PM's, the members of parliament everywhere? The moral knights? Where are they? Do the leaders of China and Russia for instance ask for a real investigation of the inside job by the Mossad and CIA of 9/11? No! So they are complicit, all of them, and must be judged thereafter.
In The Atlantic today, it's asked whether those killings in Afghanistan should be seen as a war crime? Of course they are! And the have been like that always. The criminal cartel with the armed robbers and the brainwashed cannon-fodder of the US/UK's usurped NATO, with its israeli and other killing and drilling mercenaries and contractors is too bad for words. And they are all war criminals doing the cartel's bidding. In Afghanistan the CIA has for the cartel's Big Pharma and 'drugs department' secured ninety-three percent of the world's heroin market, because in Afghanistan the CIA and collaborators cultivate the poppy fields. The poppies could have been killed by an american fungus, the Lotus Eater it's called, but this of course is forbidden by those who profit from the drugs trade.* - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/yetgjtu
All those fields were - because of the drug production - eradicated by the people of Afghanistan, including the students, the Taliban. Nowadays all legal resistance against the occupying armed forces is called : Taliban. Which is totally wrong of course, but for the brainwashed it seems to be acceptable. And the criminal cartel keeps making billions and billions in profit, over the millions of dead people, the blood, sweat and tears of the suffering, but: Hey! It's just business as usual! And if you think otherwise: just compare the street price of a liter of oil and a kilo of heroine... People should know that the CIA is the biggest drug dealer in the world. - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/p93vvt
NATO KILLERS SHOOT TEN: EIGHT CHILDREN
In The Atlantic from Kabul it was published what Afghanistan's US stooge Karzai anyhow for 'the PR show' is claiming: “The delegation concluded that a unit of international forces descended from a plane Sunday night into Ghazi Khan Village in Narang district of the eastern province of Kunar and took 10 people from three homes, eight of them school students in grades six, nine and 10, one of them a guest, the rest from the same family, and shot them dead,” said a statement from the president’s office.
Mr. Karzai, the statement added, “was deeply grieved at the loss of civilians and assured the mourning families of his every effort for a serious and thorough investigation and said perpetrators would be legally dealt with.”
But this traitor Karzai did not say again how. With the article in 'The Atlantic' a photo was published of the protests against the umpteenth time that innocent children and elder people for nothing were killed: " Afghan demonstrators hold banners and placards while shouting anti US slogans during a protest rally in Kabul on December 30, 2009, against the alleged killing of 10 people including eight children in the easten province of Kunar.
Afghan government investigators on December 30, have accused foreign troops of dragging 10 people, including eight children, from their homes and shooting them dead.
Anti-US protests erupted in at least two cities over the alleged killings as President Hamid Karzai's office published its report, likely to inflame tensions between the Afghan government and its Western military backers. By Shah Marai/AFP/Getty Images. - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/yblnaau
ALSO AN OPIUM WAR IS A RACKET: WHO PROFITS?
When US Major General Smedley Butler, USMC, in his now famous speech, delivered in 1933, stated that "War is a Racket" and always has been, he was totally right. But it's because of Internet we can read it now and learn, because it was nowhere on the globe in our so called 'history' books. Nowhere! But what he said than is how the situation globally is now still. People lie and others die, while the cartel and its collaborators make fat profits. And for a short while have the geopolitical armed power too. Major General Smedley Butler said this, and every word is true today concerning the robbing killers in so called 'wars':
"It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.
How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle? Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.
AND WHAT IS THIS BILL?
This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.
For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.
Butler: And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public – even before a Senate investigatory body.
WELL, it's a racket, all right.
A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.
The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation – it must conscript capital and industry and labor.
Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted – to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.
Let the workers in these plants get the same wages – all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers –
yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders – everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!
Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds. Why shouldn't they? They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!
Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket – that and nothing else. Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people – those who do the suffering and still pay the price – make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.
WHO PAYS THE BILLS?
Who provides the profits – these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them – in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us – the people – got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par – and above. Then the bankers collected their profits. - [And if you want to know where the profits are divided, see how Rothschild's world usury empire rules the global control of valuables, money etc.] - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/y9cpbgw
Quote Gen. Butler: "But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill. If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men – men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.
Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.
Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone." - [end excerpts] - The rest of the famous speech is here at Url.: http://tinyurl.com/9vl8d
In England Toby Harnden, who is the Daily Telegraph's US editor, based in Washington DC, wrote about the killing of the 8 illegal CIA spooks, who have absolutely nothing to do in Afghanistan, or elsewhere for that matter, it's a purely fascistic organisation which bombs friends and foe in false flag operations and functions often as 'hit men' for the global bankers and war profiteers, CIA's darkest day: Eight killed in Afghanistan - Daily Telegraph (UK) - Dec. 31st, 2009 - There are currently 90 stars on the CIA’s Memorial Wall at the Agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia. They represent the CIA officers killed in the line of duty – 55 of the names are known publicly, 35 (including several killed since the 9/11 attacks) remain secret.
Today was one of the darkest days in the Agency’s 52-year history. A suicide bomber somehow managed to infiltrate the supposedly ultra-secure Forward Operating Base Robinson in Khost in eastern Afghanistan and detonated a bomb in the gym. Eight CIA officers or contractors were said to have been killed – soon there will be up to 98 stars on the Memorial Wall. Six others at the base were wounded, some severely. - [snip]
The attack at Khost is a major blow to the American war effort. The Washington Post reports: “Intelligence experts who have visited U.S. bases in the region say the CIA officers at Chapman would have focused mainly on recruiting local operatives and identifying targets.” Yesterday was also a terrible day for Canada. Four Canadian troops and accompanying Canadian journalist Michelle Lang were killed by an IED on the outskirts of Kandahar." - [and end] - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/ya8xq9k
In The Atlantic/Politics, Dec. 30 2009, Marc Ambinder writes this about it, not mentioning the illegality of the CIA gofer-spooks and their drug work, of course: "Eight CIA Officers Die In Afghanistan - The Central Intelligence Agency, the White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence aren't commenting on press reports that eight CIA officers were killed when a suicide bomber detonated at a military base in the province of Khost.
The death of eight CIA officers would be the agency's worst toll since the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, when at least six officers were killed. Robert Baer, the now ubiquitous former CIA officer who spend years hunting down the Beirut bombers, has written that the agency never recovered from the loss of life that day. In an environment where the CIA is under extreme pressure from all corners, the Afghanistan massacre begins history as a tragedy that even under ordinary conditions the agency would find it hard to bear. Leon Panetta, the CIA director, must now add, to the mountain of pressing concerns, the grief counseling for thousands of employees.
The CIA's semi-covert Predator drone strike program, targeting Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives who cross back and forth from Pakistan, has killed hundreds - a number of which were most likely innocent civilians by any definition.
This is not to suggest an equivalence - just to say that the agency's American operatives are most definitely combatants in this war, which is also to say that the rules of war and the legal understandings that the CIA is using to fight terrorism in Pakistan are not clear and not easily explicable to the American people. With the CIA's massive footprint in Afghanistan, some sort of tragedy was probably inevitable." - [and end] - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/yd8j2he
8 Americans killed in Afghanistan were CIA agents: report
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) - Eight Americans killed in a military base blast in Afghanistan were agents of the Central Intelligence Agency, CNN reported Wednesday.
The report cited an anonymous U.S. official, but didn't provide any details. The State Department confirmed the death of the eight in a suicide blast at the Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost province, southern Afghanistan. Department spokesman Ian Kelly didn't provide any details, nor did he say whether those killed were military personnel or civilians. The blast occurred Wednesday afternoon when an attacker wearing a suicide vest detonated the explosive device." - [end item] - Source: www.chinaview.cn 2009-12-31 - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/y8jvc5u
BOTH FINANCIAL AND NUCLEAR POWER
The criminal BIS banking cartel has both financial and nuclear power. People should have been informed by the compliant media, so they understood what J. Robert Oppenheimer was talking about, when he saw what nuclear power meant. The ''Manhattan project'' cost an estimated two billion [illegally extorted] tax dollars, and the first successful test of the atomic bomb occurred at the Trinity site, two hundred miles south of Los Alamos at 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16, 1945. Oppenheimer was beside himself at the spectacle. He shrieked, "I am become Death, the Destroyer of worlds."
Indeed, this seemed to be the ultimate goal of the Manhattan Project, to destroy the world. Oppenheimer's exultation came from his realization that now his people had attained the ultimate power, through which they could implement their five-thousand-year desire to rule the entire world." - end quote] - The rest by Eustace Mullins is here at Url.: http://www.whale.to/b/mullins8.html
War, as Gen. Butler said, is a racket. And it most certainly is a criminal cartel racket.
All for power and profit!
