We all are the enemy

Henk Ruyssenaars - Foreign correspondent | 25.10.2006 17:39 | Analysis | Globalisation | Social Struggles | World

In Washington's and NATO's warmongering circles the Pentagon's junta as the tail, wags the by propaganda blinded American dog of war. But in all 190 countries surrounding the US, normal people hate war and the warmongers: it's not only the muslims in the 'Arab world'. The resistance is global.

"IF MY SONS DON'T WANT WAR; THERE IS NO WAR."

FPF/Europe - October 25th - 2006 - When the globally despised George Bush in his role as 'Supreme Commander' said last night: "We'll stay in Iraq until Victory'' - many in Europe and other parts of the world compared him with the other dictator and would-be 'Supreme Commander': Führer Adolf Hitler. Who at the end of WWII said the same: We'll fight until Victory! Which Adolf called the final victory: 'Der Endsieg'. It didn't work out for him and his gang, and Bush and ilk are going down the same dark path. Resistance is getting global, and there's more growing inside the US than the mainstream media dare or are allowed to report.

But, in an article now published in The Progressive*, US writer Howard Zinn again makes the same error as 90% of the 'americanized authors' do when discussing the revolt against the inhuman US war machine and Washington's 'might makes right' policy. Zinn and many others often write about the 'hatred', the resistance and growing anger 'in the Arab World' - or among the up to one-and-a-half billion muslims. But they 'forget' to state that even in the rest of the world, developing or developed, in the north and south, in the east and the west, by non-Arabs and non-muslims, the Washington Junta and it's managers is seen as the worst plague ever to pester mankind. People the world over look at this group's deeds, asking: Who are they? Which people are doing what? And why do they do this? - And do not listen to their propaganda filled with claims and lies.

Time and again the by the so called 'critical authors' avoided point, is that every human being with a functioning brain anywhere among the six and a half billion people on earth, and of whatever color, race or nationality, of course is totally disgusted and appalled by what the US war machine day and night can be seen doing to humanity. And all can see how the junta's mercenaries - like most of NATO's military and collaborating politicians sending tax paid troops, Blackwater hirelings, Israeli Special forces, killers, torturers or so called 'peace keepers' - how the US war machine further destroys our world and our habitat. With, as one of the latest examples, twenty thousand more US/UN armed military invading Sudan that doesn't want them there officially, but the invasion gets a 'humanitarian' cover from the UN. Planned is to give 'humanitarian help' and protection to the rich oil fields in Darfur...

Ignoring or refusing to understand the fact that by all international laws and conventions, especially the Geneva and The Hague War Conventions, we all have a full and legal right to resist and fight the invading, plundering killers. With one of the results being that the world has become very small for US americans. Many people however, including investigating journalists like Mike Ruppert or Christopher Bollyn lately, are forced out by the US Gestapo. Others are bombed, 'suicided', emigrate, go AWOL or travel as fake 'Canadians' and similar. Many times 'The Ugly American' must avoid the logical revenge and angry reactions abroad. They are hated and blamed by all the people which the usurers running the war machine for their corrupt multinationals have ripped off all the time. Human beings everywhere whom they have betrayed, bombed, jailed, tortured, killed a.s.o. ''They've lived by the sword and thus will die by it'' - is written in the Bible as should be known by some of the millions of 'Christian nut cases' - as Bush, Rove and other war junkies call the ignorant crowd of misguided and often mentally disturbed Pharisees.

''JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY''

In his just published book 'State of Denial', Bob Woodward doesn't follow the advice he got during the Nixon Watergate scandal when CIA informer 'Deep Throat' told him: ''Just follow the money'' - because he would have ended up with 9/11 and the private 'Bank of England' group, the financiers and profiteering warlords in London. So he writes about the consequences like the 'Chomskys' all do, in this case the people fighting the US hegemony.

Concerning the growing resistance Woodward confirms that the US/Israeli war machine and it's mercenaries in Iraq are attacked between seven hundred and a thousand times A DAY. Logical: the people defending their families and country are desperate and have mostly nothing left to loose. For every killed child, woman or man, for all the permanent destruction and looting, hundreds of thousands of new people join the resistance everywhere. As an example Zinn writes: "The Israeli invasion and bombing of Lebanon has not brought security to Israel. Indeed, it has increased the number of its enemies, whether in Hezbollah or Hamas, or among Arabs who belong to neither of those groups." - Apart from the criminal creatures with their war agenda - everybody understands the logic: you don't make friends by killing them.* - And understand the logic of 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'

"IF MY SONS DON'T WANT WAR; THERE IS NO WAR."

The US - as the lawless 'Evil Empire' - treats all as 'enemy combatants' who are resisting their group of warmongers and Gestapos, and that includes the people living in the US and it's colonies too. The quest for global power and profit is financed by billions* in extorted taxes everywhere, and via the global usurers, the private 'Bank of England' owners. The same mafia of alien creatures who also run the private 'Federal Reserve' in the US, all so called 'Central Banks' in most US colonies and are based in 'The City' in London, their state within the English state, with the 'London War Lords' representing the permanent pest of war. As Madame de Rothschild confirmed: "If my sons don't want war; there is no war."

But the resisters are all over the world, and their huge number keeps growing by the day. Watching the global slaughter by the mercenaries of the junta, 2005 Nobel Literature Prize winner, jewish author Harold Pinter, warned the foreign US managers and their war junta explicitly: "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back." - And everywhere they strike back, even if it's a granny who puts a kilo of sugar in the fuel tank of a fighter jet, tank or truck. Or attacks bombers on the ground with an ax. But you can't always put peace on trial. - Url.:  http://www.warontrial.com/

The US junta's blatant lies and their CNN/FOX/BBC etc. war propaganda is known worldwide, and so is the illegality and shocking inhumanity of the US wars and invasions to get their bloodied hands on the faucets of the energy sources. The US will go to history as the 'evil empire' and collaborators in every country and on all levels will be punished too. Especially their vile propagandists who - sometimes posing as journalists - as media megaphones made all crimes possible. Without their betrayal of humanity, the wars and atrocities would never have been possible. I'm against capital punishment, but will definitely understand the shortage of lampposts in all countries when the wave of revenge hits 'the Decider' and the US/Israeli warmongers with their London warlords and their collaborating ilk. Everywhere! - [ http://tinyurl.com/95nk2] -

TURNING OUR BLOOD INTO THEIR GOLD

Through the centuries those warmongers have proved that the only rule they know is the 'rule of money'. Turning our blood into their gold. Because they who hold the gold hold the power. And that's what this junta wants for themselves. As long as the slaves work and there is war profiteering, business is fine. For them. And when those Washington 'crazies' needed a 'casus belli' - a war case as a pretext for the by the US junta started and further fomented global War Of Terror - they made one themselves as usual, the 9/11 massacre of 3000 people in the World Trade Center catastrophe.* It's sheer horror, but like most I prefer scientific facts to the usual brainwashing stream of lies and fakes from the White Haus.

The Pentagon junta and the 'managers' of the US reacted to 9/11 and used it as a pretext to start invading and bombing dirt poor Afghanistan, and thereafter Iraq, which had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Former friends turned into foes. The US and other global oil multinationals went for the oil and space for the pipelines, and never for a second cared about human beings. Never ever. And soldiers are just 'dumb animals' as war criminal and warlords adviser Heinrich Kissinger said. Kissinger is a one man axis of evil. Of course, for any decent human being the inside job of 9/11 is an enormous crime against humanity, but the 'Chomskys' of this world refuse to discuss it. They avoid one of the most heinious crimes of this century, and in their country. Why?

They'll write about the awful consequences, but never about the origin, the group of financiers and profiteers behind the perpetrators of the disasters. Contrary to scientists the world over and in the US, secret service people and diplomats, journalists and academic peers who review the facts. Sticking to the law of nature and not the junta's 'official' propaganda version - and who all agree that 9/11 was an inside job. They all agree too, that no 'presidential decree' can declare the laws of nature null and void. Whatever the global propaganda line is. - [ http://www.st911.org/]

The Washington junta tries to cover up the fact that they - like everybody anywhere collaborating with them - are war criminals. So it's logical that some compliant writers like Zinn and other observers are concerned about the growing hatred in the world among human beings. But again Zinn is directly misleading when he like the malignant mainstream propagandists uses propaganda figures: "Bush's Iraq War has killed between 40,000 and 140,000 civilians." Zinn writes. That is not true. Also Iraq is a US made genocide. A US 'Killing Field'. Like the other 'Chomskys' he knows of the reports about an estimated TOTAL of 655,000 ESTIMATED DEATHS. The survey was done by Iraqi physicians and overseen by epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. The findings are published online* by the British medical journal the Lancet, and have been used and published by many web sites and/or blogs the world over.

BUT BUSH DENIES IT ALL.

Of course the irrational 'Decider' denies the 655.000 deaths, and the mushrooming resistance everywhere, but the US/Israeli war machine is grinding to a halt: too many have died, too much is destroyed. Claiming to 'stay the course'- like the Titanic, and promising some kind of 'victory' in an illegal war is mad fanaticism, fueled by greed. The definition of fanaticism is, that when you discover that you are going in the wrong direction, you redouble your speed and keep hoping for victory...

The whole world is watching and resisting, while the war criminals know that they only survive because they're still able to misuse tax paid and heavily armed groups to protect them and their stolen property and possessions. But again today, an AP (American Propaganda) story was filed about growing resistance within the armed forces among active US generals, officers and soldiers, lately also using Internet sites to rally support against the US wars. And they are all armed and dangerous.

It is a historical fact that the very second the armed forces in a country turn around their weapons, there'll be a shortage of lampposts for the former rulers. Being short of lampposts in this case will be global because the avengers will get the collaborators, the propagandists and profiteers. Who ignored the fact that resistance is not only a global legal right, but it also is everybody's plight. Everywhere.

And the global wave of revenge will be understood by many.
