Sick Strategies For
Senseless Slaughter
The murderous fools are not trying to end the war -
they're trying to keep it going as long as they can.
By John Kaminski

The cat is out of the bag now.

It happened quite by accident, as most revelations do. And it
is seen by most of the world as the most revolting of the
American/Israeli atrocities in the past few years, although
it's hard to prioritize that claim because of the level and
frequency of barbaric acts that are committed on a regular
basis by those affluent automatons who call themselves the
good guys.

Yet everyone but the comatose American populace - blinded by
its Orwellian media and stupefied by its demented diet of
physical and mental poisons - can see it.

So permit me to spell it out for those cowardly people who say
they're living in the freest country on Earth, but absolutely
refuse in their silent ignorance to see the blood they're
spilling. No country that condones deliberate torture for any
reason can ever be trusted.

The first hint came in Imad Khadduri's "A warning to car
drivers" written in Arabic and posted on www.albasrah.net on
May 11. The dispatch was quickly picked up by two of the most
realistic and reliable news sites on the Web,
http://www.uruknet.info, which I try to read every day, and
http://www.globalresearch.ca, which I try to read every week, since
it offers less breaking and more analytical news. I consider
these two sites essential to keeping up with the real news of
the world, and highly recommend that you monitor them, too.

Khadduri recounted a scam that opens up a clear window to
seeing who is perpetrating all this inexplicable violence in
Iraq. Beyond the American attempt to pacify an outraged and
abused nation through demonic destruction, and beyond the
Iraqi attempt to resist this totalitarian takeover by a
foreign conqueror, there are more than numerous acts of
violence that simply can't be understood by straightforward
explanations.

I mean, when a mosque blows up and Americans blame Islamic
terrorists, whether Sunni or Shiite, it makes no sense.
Muslims never blow up their own houses of worship. Or when
reporters sympathetic to either the Iraqi cause of freedom, or
even just general principles of international justice, are
suddenly assassinated and the blame is placed on often
imaginary Islamic extremists whose perspective is supported by
these writers, how can anyone believe that Muslims did it,
even thought this is what the Zionist American press and
government continue to insist.

So who's doing all these demented deeds? As if we didn't know
....

Khadduri's report went like this:

"A few days ago, an American manned check point confiscated
the driver license of a driver and told him to report to an
American military camp near Baghdad airport for interrogation
and in order to retrieve his license. The next day, the driver
did visit the camp and he was allowed in the camp with his
car. He was admitted to a room for an interrogation that
lasted half an hour. At the end of the session, the American
interrogator told him: 'OK, there is nothing against you, but
you do know that Iraq is now sovereign and is in charge of its
own affairs. Hence, we have forwarded your papers and license
to al-Kadhimia police station for processing. Therefore, go
there with this clearance to reclaim your license. At the
police station, ask for Lt. Hussain Mohammed, who is waiting
for you now. Go there now quickly, before he leaves his shift
work".

The driver did leave in a hurry, but was soon alarmed with a
feeling that his car was driving as if carrying a heavy load,
and he also became suspicious of a low flying helicopter that
kept hovering overhead, as if trailing him. He stopped the car
and inspected it carefully. He found nearly 100 kilograms of
explosives hidden in the back seat and along the two back
doors.

The only feasible explanation for this incident is that the
car was indeed booby trapped by the Americans and intended for
the al-Khadimiya Shiite district of Baghdad. The helicopter
was monitoring his movement and witnessing the anticipated
"hideous attack by foreign elements".

The same scenario was repeated in Mosul, in the north of Iraq.
A car was confiscated along with the driver's license. He did
follow up on the matter and finally reclaimed his car but was
told to go to a police station to reclaim his license.
Fortunately for him, the car broke down on the way to the
police station. The inspecting car mechanic discovered that
the spare tire was fully laden with explosives."

If this were the only example of this type I heard, I might
have let it pass as just a story. But it wasn't.

There was also the sorry tale of the Iraqi man who saw
American soldiers plant a bomb which shortly thereafter
exploded, and when he said so out loud for all to hear, he was
hauled away, never to be seen again.

This story was reported on arguably the most authentic and
riveting source of news from Iraq, the heart-rending "Baghdad
Burning: Girl Blog from Iraq," which is compiled by someone
known only as Riverbend or Iraqi Girl
<http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/>. Again, recommended
reading.

She recounts, "the last two weeks have been violent ....

The number of explosions in Baghdad alone is frightening.
There have also been several assassinations - bodies being
found here and there. It's somewhat disturbing to know that
corpses are turning up in the most unexpected places. Many
people will tell you it's not wise to eat river fish anymore
because they have been nourished on the human remains being
dumped into the river. That thought alone has given me more
than one sleepless night. It is almost as if Baghdad has
turned into a giant graveyard.

The latest corpses were those of some Sunni and Shia clerics -
several of them well-known. People are being patient and there
is a general consensus that these killings are being done to
provoke civil war. Also worrisome is the fact that we are
hearing of people being rounded up by security forces (Iraqi)
and then being found dead days later - apparently when the new
Iraqi government recently decided to reinstate the death
penalty, they had something else in mind.

But back to the explosions. One of the larger blasts was in an
area called Ma'moun, which is a middle class area located in
west Baghdad. It's a relatively calm residential area with
shops that provide the basics and a bit more. It happened in
the morning, as the shops were opening up for their daily
business and it occurred right in front of a butcher's shop.
Immediately after, we heard that a man living in a house in
front of the blast site was hauled off by the Americans
because it was said that after the bomb went off, he sniped an
Iraqi National Guardsman.

I didn't think much about the story - nothing about it stood
out: an explosion and a sniper - hardly an anomaly. The
interesting news started circulating a couple of days later.
People from the area claim that the man was taken away not
because he shot anyone, but because he knew too much about the
bomb. Rumor has it that he saw an American patrol passing
through the area and pausing at the bomb site minutes before
the explosion. Soon after they drove away, the bomb went off
and chaos ensued. He ran out of his house screaming to the
neighbors and bystanders that the Americans had either planted
the bomb or seen the bomb and done nothing about it. He was
promptly taken away.

The bombs are mysterious. Some of them explode in the midst of
National Guard and near American troops or Iraqi Police and
others explode near mosques, churches, and shops or in the
middle of sougs. One thing that surprises us about the news
reports of these bombs is that they are inevitably linked to
suicide bombers. The reality is that some of these bombs are
not suicide bombs - they are car bombs that are either being
remotely detonated or maybe time bombs. All we know is that
the techniques differ and apparently so do the intentions.
Some will tell you they are resistance. Some say Chalabi and
his thugs are responsible for a number of them. Others blame
Iran and the SCIRI militia Badir.

In any case, they are terrifying. If you're close enough, the
first sound is a that of an earsplitting blast and the sounds
that follow are of a rain of glass, shrapnel and other sharp
things. Then the wails begin - the shrill mechanical wails of
an occasional ambulance combined with the wail of car alarms
from neighboring vehicles and finally the wail of people
trying to sort out their dead and dying from the debris.

Then there was this one.

On May 13, 2005, a 64 years old Iraqi farmer, Haj Haidar Abu
Sijjad, took his tomato load in his pickup truck from Hilla to
Baghdad, accompanied by Ali, his 11 years old grandson. They
were stopped at an American check point and were asked to
dismount. An American soldier climbed on the back of the
pickup truck, followed by another a few minutes later, and
thoroughly inspected the tomato filled plastic containers for
about 10 minutes. Haj Haidar and his grandson were then
allowed to proceed to Baghdad.

A minute later, his grandson told him that he saw one of the
American soldiers putting a grey melon size object in the back
among the tomato containers. The Haj immediately slammed on
the brakes and stopped the car at the side of the road, at a
relatively far distance from the check point. He found a time
bomb with the clock ticking tucked among his tomatoes. He
immediately recognized it, as he was an ex-army soldier.
Panicking, he grabbed his grandson and ran away from the car.
Then, realizing that the car was his only means of work, he
went back, took the bomb and carried it in fear. He threw it
in a deep ditch by the side of the road that was dug by Iraqi
soldiers in preparation for the war, two years ago.

Upon returning from Baghdad, he found out that the bomb had
indeed exploded, killing three sheep and injuring their
shepherd in his head. He thanked God for giving him the
courage to go back and remove the bomb, and for the luck in
that the American soldiers did not notice his sudden stop at a
distance and his getting rid of the bomb.

"They intended it to explode in Baghdad and claim that it is
the work of the 'terrorists', or 'insurgents' or who call
themselves the 'Resistance'.

I decided to expose them and asked your reporter to take me to
Baghdad to tell you the story. They are to be exposed as they
now want to sow strife in Iraq and taint the Resistance after
failing to defeat it militarily. Do not forget to mention my
name. I fear nobody but God, as I am a follower of Muqtada
al-Sadir."

The background and admission of guilt for such satanic
shenanigans was clearly outlined in Frank Morales' piece on
globalresearch.ca: "The Provocateur State: Is the CIA Behind
the Iraqi 'Insurgents' - and Global Terrorism," by Frank
Morales <http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MOR505A.html>
clearly demonstrates how Donald Rumsfeld said he was going to
do exactly what these three sorry episodes show he actually
did.

Morales writes:

Back in 2002, following the trauma of 9-11, Secretary of
Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld predicted there would be more
terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization
at large. How could he be so sure of that? Perhaps because
these attacks would be instigated on the order of the
Honorable Mr. Rumsfeld. According to Los Angeles Times
military analyst William Arkin, writing Oct. 27, 2002,
Rumsfeld set out to create a secret army, "a
super-Intelligence Support Activity" network that would "bring
together CIA and military covert action, information warfare,
intelligence, and cover and deception," to stir the pot of
spiraling global violence.

We never got the full story on those ghastly beheadings of
Nick Berg and others. Nor have we ever understood who killed
the American mercenaries in Fallujah that eventually
precipitated one of the great slaughters in history. Nor have
we ever been able to discern if Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is
actually a real person or just another bin Ladenesque
boogeyman. Nor if the al-Qaeda website which claims
responsibility for various atrocities is not really run by the
CIA.

Provoking this type of violence also further conceals the
sinister genocide the Israelis continue to perpetrate on the
hapless Palestinians, which is exactly its point, as is the
entire Iraq invasion and destruction, and as was the inside
job mass murder on 9/11 in New York City. The purpose of all
these despicable acts is to conceal what the Israelis and the
Americans have been doing all along to the entire Arab world,
namely enslaving and destroying it.

There is not now nor ever was an Arab terror threat. That was
all invented by Rothschild, Rockefeller, Kissinger,
Brzezinski, Bush, Cheney, Sharon, Zakheim, Perle, Wolfowitz,
Feith, Abrams and Warren Buffett. These people are all
traitors to not only their countries but to humanity in
general, and should all be slammed and RICOed into Guantanamo
immediately.

And so should the government officials, media lackeys, and
ordinary citizens who, by their complicity or their ignorance,
support them.

The main point in understanding these deliberate provocations
to prevent peace is to understand how the American capitalist
system, now hijacked by billionaires with no trace of
conscience, thrives on war and profits from the misery of
others.

The neocon murder menace has been for months ratcheting up the
hyperbole about why we need to invade Iran - which some
predict will happen in June - and just this week, rumors of
troop movements in the Caribbean and lockdowns at Florida
military bases appear to augur an imminent invasion of
oil-producing Venezuela.

The overall plan is to create hell on Earth, and we are
succeeding. By our silent complicity and cowardly reluctance
to oppose and stop this homicidal behavior in the name of
profit, we are all accessories to mass murder and the
destruction of human society, not to even mention the
extinction of individual human freedom and the God-given right
to be safe and secure in the homes of our choice.

So now that you know, what are you going to do about it? You
know if you do nothing, these same things will one day happen
to you.
