It all makes sense now!

This short article I found by stop the war coalition explains exactly why the Obama regime and the Cameron regime are yet again bombing in the Middle East.  It should help clear up any confusion you may have, a quick 30 second read will put it all into perspective.....   

 

Why we're bombing Iraq and Syria: Obama and Cameron clear up any confusion 

Obama and Cameron remove any misunderstanding about why the United States and Britain are bombing in the Middle East again.

You may be confused about why we are bombing Iraq and Syria. So we will make ourselves very clear.

We support the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIS. 

We don't like ISIS, but ISIS has been supported by Saudi Arabia, whom we do like, and Saudi Arabia is now supporting us in bombing ISIS.

We don't like President Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but not ISIS, which is also fighting against him. 

We don't like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government against ISIS. 

So some of our friends support our enemies and some of our enemies are our friends, and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies whom we want to lose, but we don't want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win. 

If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they might be replaced by people we like even less.
And all this was started by us invading Iraq to drive out terrorists who weren't there until we went to drive them out. 

We hope you now understand.

"We tortured some folks"

John Kiriakou - The only person to go to jail due to the CIA's illegal torturing.  Why him? Waterbaording?  Rectal force feeding?  Nope! It's because ex CIA agent John Kiriakou is a whistleblower.

 "I believe I was prosecuted not for what I did but for who I am: a CIA officer who said torture was wrong and ineffective and went against the grain,"

In a similar way when Eric Garner was arrested for allegedly selling illegal 'loosies' (single cigarettes) he was strangled to death in the chokehold of a New York cop, but has that cop or any other cop on the scene been indicted? Nope.  Is Ramsey Orta, the guy who filmed it on his phone in trouble?  Of course he is!

Then there's Edward Snowdon and Bradley/Chelsea Manning the more famous cases amongst many others who are locked up or on the run for exposing truths.

In the words of John Lennon

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."

Back to the original subject- Of the 6000 page report on CIA torture only 600 pages have been released. The other 5400 pages will likely never be public.  We can only assume the 600 released pages is the tame stuff.   Tying prisoners to beds and making them stand on broken legs for dozens of hours is pretty tame right?  The report reveals that president Bush knew all about the program in 2006 but during a speech in 2007 declared "This government does not torture people.".  Presumably he does not consider depriving someone of sleep for 180 hours as torture then.  Locking someone in a coffin sized box for hours on end?  blasting food up someones anus?  Naaah! that's not torture.
Then there's our mate Obama who this year in August pre-empting the release of this report admitted that well yes we do torture people, and he put it like this.....

"We tortured some folks."

And on the subject of those who did the torturing.....

 "You know, it's important for us not to feel too sanctimonious in retrospect about the tough job that those folks had. A lot of those folks were working hard under enormous pressure and are real patriots, but having said all that, we did some things that were wrong."

Good to see at least the president takes it seriously then!

You will notice that official statements and news reports are sure to keep mentioning 9/11 but the uncomfortable truth is that most of the hundreds of detainees were being wrongfully held without charge and not a single case of torture led to any meaningful information.  Of the 20 cases actually deemed a success none of them led to any unique intelligence that wasn't otherwise unavailable.  In other words they were torturing innocent people!

In the UK did the Blair regime know what was going on?  Of course they did.  Is the UK's role in CIA torture being concealed?  Of course it is.

Apart from whistleblowers will anyone involved at the CIA or anyone in a position of power in the Government go down for this?  Haha! Will they fuck!

off with IS head

Just trying to put myself into the mind of a ruthless terrorist..... Yes I think I'll film the beheading of some hostages and then I'll do a polished post production and fade to black to edit out the most gruesome part of the actual beheading because although I'm extremely evil I do have boundaries of decency.  I will then clean up all the blood and just show a still photo of the decapitated head on the body.  I will then keep uploading these videos to unknown accounts because I want armies from America and Europe to keep on bombing me and my terrorist soldiers to hamper our sinister objectives of creating an Islamic State.

Now I'll try and put myself in the mind of an American/European member of the public (ooh I'm one of those!)..... Hmmmm I've seen about these beheading videos all over the news and media constantly for every minute of every day, I've not seen the actual beheading part in them because even the original versions don't show that, and now I can't see them at all because they've been banned from being shown on youtube or anywhere in the media, but the media tells me they've beheaded a couple of British and Americans so I am outraged and will post status updates on social media saying how disgusted I am with undertones of religious/racial hatred.  I now accept Iraq and Syria being bombed at a cost of billions in taxpayer's money because my government told me not to question it, actually I don't really care anymore, it's boring now and X Factor is on in a minute anyway.

Now who knows what goes on in the mind of a Western politician leader?! David Cameron for instance finds himself able to announce public service cuts and new taxes to make up £billions in deficit whilst simultaneously backing military action in Iraq at a cost of £billions!

Both US and UK governments seem 100% satisfied with the authenticity of the videos from day one, and America (of course) was first to initiate a new war which is based on a few oddly editted YouTube videos created and uploaded by persons unknown.  With the 'beheading' videos and related stories there has never been a better example of what six weeks of wall to wall media coverage can achieve in terms of transforming public opinion.  In this case, the objective is a green light to reignite the War on Terror into Iraq and Syria and to re-brand the enemy from Al Qaeda to ISIS.  With the help of US and European multinational corporate TV networks, the videos have triggered an artificial tidal wave of national hysteria.

Logically if the real objective was to eliminate ISIS, then you would expect Washington and the Obama regime would want to sit down with both the Syria and Iraqi governments in order to create a strategy to flush out the so called Islamic State. With that level of coordination, the terror group could be wiped out in no time, but that cannot happen because the US has a double agenda. 
Part one of that agenda is the popular front with the US and it's allies promising to degrade ISIS, while the second part is the unpopular covert agenda of continuing the long running project of driving a messy civil war inside Syria by supporting, funding and arming rebel fighters to achieve a change of Governance in Syria. 

The US will use any air strikes in Syria to hit key Syrian military targets carried out under a complete media blackout around ‘wrong targets’, and also use air strikes to provide air cover for the Syrian 'rebels' which it has been funding and arming since 2012.  Please remember last year when with the backing of the military industrial complex the Obama regime and drooling puppet PM Cameron were desperately trying to convince everyone we needed to bomb Syria, it was so unpopular they couldn't do it and set about arming terrorist groups for a proxy war instead.  A year on and here we are firing missiles and dropping bombs in Iraq and Syria to fight the terrorists that we armed last year.  Arms manufacturers are popping the champagne again.  British made Brimstone missiles cost £100,000 each (could pay annual salary of three nurses for every single missile fired),  American Tomahawk missiles cost $1.4million each! (wow!)

£££ kerrr ching! $$$

see also the post i wrote a couple of weeks ago "More War = Love and Peace" 

Oh by the way, nice to see that stock prices for military contractors (such as Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman) shot to all time record highs last week when Obama and Co. committed to more prolonged and sustained war in Iraq and Syria.  Nice one! At least someone benefits, it's not all doom and gloom. :-)
