Press TV :
Obama, Neocons openly back terrorism
The tragic comedy of the phony War on Terror is being exposed as never
before for the sham that it is. Press TV reported yesterday the opening of
the MKO terrorist organization office a block away from the White House.
What a message that sends to the world...that we look out for our
terrorists and take good care of them, but it just might take a little time
to do it.
This is the group who inflicted four 911's on Iran by murdering 12,000 in
terrorist attacks, much of it under Saddam, and then under US protection
when we took over Iraq. Israel was involved, also...no surprise there.
We had no boots on the ground inside Iran for Intel collection so the War
on Terror stopped at the border of the MKO Camp Ashraf. Terrorists who
worked for us were given effect immunity while keeping them on the
terrorist list, I assume until a day when maybe nobody would remember what
they did. We did not forget, about MKO, or the others.
I was shocked when our State Dept. under Hillary Clinton announced last
fall that MKO was being rehabilitated by taking them off the terror list.
It seems the International Criminal Court might be off the hook for doing
absolutely nothing about this group, thinking I guess that mass murderers
only lived in the Balkans or Africa.
So the powers that we think they have slipped this one by on us. Here we
have our Nobel Peace Prize winner President effectively pardoning the
killing of four times the 911 victims when he has no authority to do so
because the MKO are not American citizens. I did not mention aiding and
abetting terrorism because that obviously was not a concern to his
administration or the NeoCons.
We are all put at risk if terrorist groups with well connected big bad
brothers can provide them with not only material support but protect them
from prosecution. The status of a country doing so is lowered to that of a
Mafia chief, Murder Incorporated. This is not a fitting robe to wear for
America...or is it?
I was shocked, but not too much so, to find John Bolton and retired general
Jim Jones, a Bush regime national security adviser, welcoming the MKO to
Washington, DC. Does this mean that Jones was running a terror operation
out of the White House? Aren't there some big laws against that...where
even a former government official can be prosecuted for crimes against
humanity?
I can only think that they felt that with the public's attention on the big
terrorist training camp going up in the Middle East, the one also under US
protection and allowed to train with live fire weapons and actually kill
people that no one would notice. This training camp is Syria, of course. We
have a repeat of the Afghanistan Mujahedin fiasco in the works going on
here, but in a powder keg region.
Oh yes, we have reports that the only reason that the CIA is handling the
arms shipments to the rebels is to try to make sure they do not fall into
the hands of these extremist terrorists. But using the Saudi Arabia and
Qatari terrorist regimes as proxies is a very thin veil indeed.
Americans know they are supporting these groups in Syria because they are
good killers. They are even taking heads to prove it and bringing young
teens into their ranks to use as future cannon fodder. Strategically, they
know they cannot topple Assad without them so they are shedding crocodile
tears over their false concerns about unleashing a new wave of terror on
the regime.
Assad has not been an angel and might himself see the inside of a court
room, but it would be a huge injustice if the dock did not contain at least
a hundred others from the leadership of those we know who have been engaged
in terrorism but claim diplomatic immunity. That did not work for the WWII
Germans, the Serbians, nor any of the Africans.
If the world is going to give out free passes for terrorism, I would at
least like to see some kind of vote so the rest of us can participate in
playing God regarding who gets to kill and who does not. The reputation of
Western jurisprudence, what is left of it, is squarely on the line.
This was a hot topic at the UN this week with the Thematic Debate on
International Justice. This issue of certain countries issuing themselves
free terrorism passes while seeking punishment for those doing the same was
viewed as possibly needing a bit of reform. Imagine that. If the UN in its
infinite non-wisdom would not mention who these countries were, but we all
know.
Iran's conference representative, Gholam Hossein Dehqani said, “Iran
believes that the prosecution and punishment of aggressors and perpetrators
of horrific international crimes will promote international peace and
security and bring peace and tranquility to world nations.”
Dehqani is right of course. But our current international justice, or
injustice system...depending on the case, which is corrupted and outdated,
requires a complete overhaul.
Right off the bat the first improvement I would make is that any country
giving itself a free pass from terrorism prosecution would go to the top of
the list for being prosecuted. And you can forget the ICC. It moves at a
snail's pace where we will all be dead and buried before they finish. They
can be used for the slow motion cases...maybe the older ones.
In America, we have a statute called the Speedy Trial Act that once you are
arrested the government has to take you to trial within a reasonable period
or in effect you are serving a conviction for a crime when you have not
been found guilty. And no, Guantanamo does not have this.
Syria provides us a perfect example. The crime is happening now. We don't
want a trial initiated ten years down the road. We want investigators and
prosecutors in the field collecting evidence while it is fresh so those
aiding and abetting in terrorism can be quickly identified and arrested to
stop the crimes in progress.
If such an entity were found to be a country, then they would be subject to
sanctions, and something called asset confiscation, starting with all the
hidden offshore accounts. When drug dealers are arrested all of their cash
and property are seized so ill gotten gains cannot be used by the defense.
In the US they will go to a drug dealer's house and even collect up the
children's toys and clothes.
As always, some would say this could never be possible as those most guilty
would not go along with it. But then that would just trigger a dual justice
system development...the older corrupted one and then a new one that
can...yes, issue arrest warrants, capture, detain, and put on trial those
guilty of these crimes.
Let's invent a new reason for having wars, a better one, to arrest and
prosecute crimes against humanity people. War would be popular overnight.
And all of those who protect the guilty would then become accessories after
the fact. We have all these empty FEMA camps over here. Let's use them
toward a good purpose.
Oh, and one other thing. No multinational corp. has ever been brought into
court for crimes against humanity...nor a single bank. Do you really think
that not one ever committed these crimes? Of course they have. But they
also have put themselves on the immunity list, other than fines that their
stockholders pay. Financial crimes against humanity should warrant the
death penalty for the lives they destroy.
So laugh all you want at my ideas, and don't feel bad either. I am laughing
at all of you who think you have some system of justice to punish mega
crimes against humanity where those countries doing the judging give
themselves immunity. I laugh not out of disrespect for their victims but at
the silliness of it all for those who think they are involved in
international justice when they are really providing cover for the bad
guys.
Huge numbers of lives are at stake and Syria is going to be the big
demonstrator. General Breedlove was going through his confirmation hearings
yesterday as the new NATO cmdr. and said he supports giving lethal weapons
to the rebels. Because we all know they already have them I suspect he
meant heavy weapons.
His only concern was their not falling into the wrong hands. OK Mr.
Breedlove, if you think that is such a cool idea, what if you, your family,
grand kids and parents all had to die if you are wrong...just like the
Syrians? Would you still think it was a cool idea?
Syria would become a wasteland of death and destruction if that happened
and maybe some other places, also. There have already been enough crimes
committed to keep the gallows going for a long time. Such crimes require an
industrial scale justice system, not the slow motion shake and bake kind we
have now.
We need to replace or convert General Breedlove's command to a new ICC
Justice NATO...called JATO, maybe. Let us save the heavy lethal weapons for
them as we will all get a bigger bang for our buck. And rather than
watching the innocent on TV die, let us watch the guilty ones for a change.
It won't be so sad.
