Free Iraq

Who's behind the Armenian genocide resolution? The only beneficiaries are Zionists who want to use a Turkish attack on Kurdistan to break up Iraq.
 

Turkey shells Iraq border areas amid incursion talk
 

Bomb targets Iraqis heading to shrine... killing six people in the Iraqi capital, including a 9-year-old child and two women.

Separately, police on Sunday reported that a suicide truck bomber* followed by dozens of gunmen in a swarm of vehicles launched a coordinated attack on a regional police station north of Baghdad, killing eight Iraqi civilians.

* 'Suicide' bomber? Sounds convenient.
 

A reign of terror which history has chosen to neglect: On 15 September 1915 ... the Turkish Interior minister, cabled an instruction to his prefect in Aleppo about what he should do with the tens of thousands of Armenians in his city. "You have already been informed that the government... has decided to destroy completely all the indicated persons living in Turkey... Their existence must be terminated, however tragic the measures taken may be, and no regard must be paid to either age or sex, or to any scruples of conscience."

Armenian scholars have compiled a map of their people's persecution and deportation, a document that is as detailed as the maps of Europe that show the railway lines to Auschwitz and Treblinka; the Armenians of Erzerum, for example, were sent on their death march to Terjan and then to Erzinjan and on to Sivas province.

The men would be executed by firing squad or hacked to death with axes outside villages, the women and children then driven on into the desert to die of thirst or disease or exhaustion or gang-rape. In one mass grave I myself discovered on a hillside at Hurgada in present-day Syria, there were thousands of skeletons, mostly of young people – their teeth were perfect. I even found a 100-year-old Armenian woman who had escaped the slaughter there and identified the hillside for me.

The Mother of all Pretexts: WHEN I hear mention of the "Clash of Civilizations" I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

A sceptic might ask: How did it happen that the wonderful Western culture gave birth to the Inquisition, the pogroms, the burning of witches, the annihilation of the Native Americans, the Holocaust, the ethnic cleansings and other atrocities without number - but that was in the past. Now Western culture is the embodiment of freedom and progress.

... Beyond the [Separation Wall between Israel and Palestine] ... there are not men, women and children, not a conquered and oppressed Palestinian population, not choked towns and villages like Abu-Dis, a-Ram, Bil'in and Qalqilia. No, beyond the wall there are a billion terrorists, multitudes of blood-thirsty Muslims, who have only one desire in life: to throw us into the sea, simply because we are Jews, part of Judeo-Christian Civilization.

With an official position like that - who is there to talk to? What is there to talk about? What is the point of meeting in Annapolis or anywhere else?

New book exposes how zionists really see us: Zionists say the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a hoax.

Is it?

Well, how about another book (published in 2006 by a Jew) that is far more outrageous? A book legitimized by wikipedia, and available at Amazon.com? A book that terrifies zionists, because it exposes how zionists really see the world? A book which, according to its author, had the comments section at Amazon.com shut down because of its explosive nature?
 

Bullets Cannot Stop Them: I've come to believe there's literally nothing that can stop the New York Times' zombie-like doggedness in mindlessly repeating claims by the US government as fact. If Iraq couldn't do it, what possibly could? I suspect if "intelligence sources" told Michael Gordon that he, Michael Gordon, was head of Al Qaeda as well as an assassin trained to murder all of America's puppies, this breaking news would be on the front page the next day.

Getting Our Bearings -
Living In An Imperial World: To live in an imperial world, we must first, as survivors, recognize that it is an imperial world. History is filled with imperial/totalitarian states, as global graveyards are filled with those who were too late in recognizing what had already happened.

It's over. The faithful and the hopeful may carry the corpse of the American republic, hoping that it can be brought back into normality, into life, and into power. I am afraid these nurturers will not survive the present reality of imperialism.

But some of us will look directly at the ugly, dangerous and very real empire. We will stare ­ with little hope but also with little fear ­ into the face of the FUBAR nation, and then roll up our sleeves and get started on the only life we may honestly live, as internal dissidents. We will no longer pledge allegiance, we will not obey old rules, we will make do and make it up as we go along. Our minds focused on surviving the empire, our talents and creativity unleashed against the state and its fantasist faithful, we will live as if we are free.

This simple prescription will not only make us survivors, but it will gradually cultivate a political landscape for a future of free republics where today we see nascent totalitarianism and bankrupt empire. This prescription was written for us in 1809 by revolutionary war general John Stark. He advised, "Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils."

We face a modern American state more overweening and dictatorial than even King George III could imagine, yet we have no declaration of independence, no privileged elite to demand it, no interested population to read and debate it. This time, our declaration will be made individually, every day, in calm desperate fearlessness, as we simply live free.
 

Dead Republic Blues: Bush Illegal Wiretapping Scheme Gets Darker and Dirtier: ... As with every other criminal racket perpetrated by the Bush Administration – from the monstrous war of aggression in Iraq to the adoption of torture as an official instrument of national policy to the practice of state murder in "targeted assassinations" to the lawless capture and indefinite detention of American citizens without charge and on and on – the Establishment has held for autocracy. They would rather be the well-paid slaves of a two-bit tyrant than honest citizens of a genuine republic. As long as they can keep their choice spot at the trough, they will gulp down the foulest swill that Bush, or his autocratic successor, can serve.

Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into a zoo: A zoo. This is one of the ways that Palestinians describe the conditions under which nearly 1.5 million of them have been living: in an area of some 360 square kilometers, closed in on three sides by sophisticated barbed-wire fences, concrete walls and military lookout towers, and to the west by Israeli navy ships that seal them off from the sea. Overhead, in the sky, unmanned aircraft and hot air balloons continually photograph whatever happens inside this closed cage, which has seven gates connecting it to the world, all of which are sealed off almost hermetically.

The governments of Israel, the United States and Europe see the hermetic imprisonment of 1.5 million human beings and the final destruction of Gaza's economic infrastructure as a suitable answer to Hamas, at least until it falls. ...

Since 1991, Israel has been using the partial or total imprisonment of the Gazans in their cage, for longer or shorter periods, as a political strategy: Sometimes it is depicted as punishment, sometimes as a deterrent action and always as a preface to a political plan. Until not long ago, it seemed as though the terms of imprisonment could not be any worse. The past four months have proven that there is always "worse."

Disaster capitalism: Israel as warning: In a world turning itself into a patchwork of fortresses separating the rich from the poor, Israel is making itself indispensable. This "has coincided precisely with [Israel's] abandonment of peace negotiations, as well as a clear strategy to reframe its conflict with the Palestinians not as a battle against a nationalist movement ... but rather as part of the global War on Terror ..." Generalizing from those "glimpses of a kind of gated future build and run by the disaster capitalism complex" afforded by Baghdad, New Orleans and Sandy Springs (a wealthy Republican suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, that has turned itself into a "contract city" in order to prevent its taxes being used to subsidize poor neighborhoods), she concludes that "This is what a society looks like when it has lost its economic incentive for peace and is heavily invested in fighting and profiting from an endless and unwinnable War on Terror. One part looks like Israel; the other part looks like Gaza ... In South Africa, Russia and New Orleans the rich build walls around themselves. Israel has taken this disposal process a step further: it has built walls around the dangerous poor."
