Chilcot Inquiry - Iraq War Crime Cover-up (Reaction Letter)

Dear Corporate and State-funded Western Media Journalists,

The attack upon Iraq in 2003 was a War Crime. It was premeditated murder. If you want to be honest about this issue you can't simply put on establishment apologists and think you are doing a good job.

You should try interviewing critics in the alternative media that understand International Law and the specific circumstances that led to the invasion.

Presently you are simply repeating the meme that the Chilcot Inquiry 'stopped short of saying the war was illegal' - that it was largely the result of intelligence failures (not deliberate lies). However, the Inquiry also said that Saddam's Iraq was not actually an imminent threat to any nation, regardless of the perceived WMD 'danger'. Because there was no real threat the war was indeed illegal.

There was no 'self defence' justification and neither was there a UN sanction for the attack. This makes the war authorising individuals, the President and Prime Ministers, War Criminals.

You cannot let your war apologist guests go unchallenged when they say that mistakes were made and that we need to make sure this does not happen again - that prosecution is not necessary. Hundreds of thousands died. Accepting a 'we must look forward' position is allowing criminals to go free.

And these politicians are criminals.

DELIBERATE LIES were told about Iraq's WMDs and the threat they posed. The liars included politically appointed bosses within the intelligence community, such as George Tenet. The actual intelligence on the WMD 'threat', the 2002 October National Intelligence Estimate, stated that there was NO threat, and that the information on the WMD programs was either ambiguous or fabricated (the aluminium tubes, the yellowcake uranium, the nuclear weapons program, Iraq's ties to Al Qaeda, the mobile weapons labs, the 45min threat capability, plus claims of stockpiled chemical weapons - this last point was made up by people like Donald Rumsfeld).

In 2005 an Australian documentary titled; Truth, Lies and Intelligence laid out the case that the lies for the war had been pushed by political chiefs led by neoconservative ideologues. It also pointed out that the 'intelligence' being used to justify the war was known to be faulty at the time. The whole video is not online, but it is worth checking out this 3 minute clip and buying the DVD:

Truth, Lies, and Intelligence


We also know that the British Government knew the US leadership - the politicians, neoconservatives and intelligence chiefs - were cooking up a case to go to war. In a set of documents known as the Downing Street Memos we find that; "the [US] intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" so that war could be waged against Iraq. The UK went along with this policy of fabrication and constructed their own 'Dodgy Dossier' claiming that Iraq could use WMDs on British forces in the region with only a 45 minute warning for such an attack.

Undoubtedly, without these politically driven lies there would have been no war.

Punishment is necessary in order to stop continued war-facilitating lying. We have recently seen the false claim that the Assad Government used chemical weapons in the Syrian War. These recent lies almost led to an overt Western attack on that country that would have advantaged ISIS.

If the people who launched the 2003 Iraq War had been jailed for War Crimes, things would be very different now. War Crimes trials are still needed.

Spook

ps. Now the apologists are saying that 'no one could have predicted' the terrible outcome of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 - as part of their defence for the 'ill-advised' invasion. Dick Cheney 'predicted' what would happen in 94. He said it would be a quagmire and the country would fall apart:

He shows (clearly) that the Bush Administration doctored a key intelligence report given to Congress so that it said Iraq was a threat when it was not. He has a copy of both documents in front of him. This skulduggery shows the political influence in skewing the intelligence - it was not 'an intelligence mistake'. When people appearing on TV say this they are either ignorant or deliberately lying

Surprise! That Document Bush/Cheney Used To Justify Iraq War, Doesn’t

In late 2002 and early 2003, American involvement in the war in Afghanistan would go on for another dozen years but already that war was losing its prominence in the headlines, so President Bush, Dick Cheney and the hawks on the right began the process of selling us all on the war they really wanted, Iraq. It was a matter of national security. It was an immediate threat. Iraq was amassing an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction that threatened our way of life. It was a slam dunk. It was a lie.

On an almost daily basis, members of the Bush administration came before us with a mountain of information detailing Saddam Hussein’s WMD program that could only be dealt with by invading the country and toppling his regime. To make their case, the administration and its allies cited the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), a 93 page report that compiled all the intelligence available, along with expert opinions and interpretations. We later found out that, while what they were saying did come from the report, they were often leaving out important, if not critical information, information that significantly changes the picture being drawn. What they left out was all the uncertainty and condition that ran through every page of the report like chocolate sauce through a half gallon of fudge ripple ice cream.

In 2004, the CIA released the report as the result of a Freedom of Information Act request, but it was so heavily redacted as to be almost meaningless. In 2006, Congress went back through the information that had been available in the run up to the war and concluded that the administration had “overstated” the case. Until now though, the general public has had to take them on their word just what that means. A new FOIA request from John Greenewald at The Black Vault has resulted in the CIA releasing a new, much cleaner version of the report.

Coming on the heels of the 9/11 attacks, it was important that Al Qaeda be kept at the top of our priority list. So, the administration went to great lengths tying Saddam Hussein to the terrorist group, National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice, White House Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer and others made the connection and then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld came out and told us they had “Bulletproof” information linking the two.
---------------------------------------
Within six months of the invasion we knew they were wrong about all of that, the Al Quaeda connection, the biological weapons, the chemical weapons, the nukes, everything. But the administration clung to deniability. They blamed flawed intelligence. It was unfortunate, but mistakes were made.

When Dick Cheney said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. That was wrong. But he also said there was no doubt. But there was doubt, and he knew it, and that makes it a lie. When they said the aluminum tubes were for refining uranium, they were wrong. When they said the tubes could only be used for that purpose, that was a lie. And they knew it. When Donald Rumsfeld said it was bulletproof, that was a lie and he knew it. Every time they knowingly left out a qualification or a piece of intelligence that shed doubt, and told us they were certain, they were lying. Now we know it for fact.

Today the hawks on the right are talking up a new war, this time in Iran.
http://reverbpress.com/features/surprise-that-document-bushcheney-used-to-justify-iraq-war-doesnt/

The Bush Officials lied DELIBERATELY to have the 2003 War in Iraq. It was not mistaken intelligence (a point I put to various brainwashed mainstream journalists in emails over the years - but to no avail). The declassified intelligence, directly cited in this post, shows there were strong doubts that any active WMD programs existed in Iraq (although it could not be ruled out), and concluded that the regime of Saddam Hussein was not a threat to the USA unless he was openly attacked first (and even then his means of response was limited). Specific 'points of evidence' aired by officials on TV were untrue. The war was ultimately justified because of an "imminent threat" of attack - a lie. Launching what was an unnecessary war based on lies is a War Crime. The people who are covering up this crime, failing to launch prosecutions (the dept. of justice), are also committing a crime with their failure to act. Today we are getting similar lies about Iran, something that was predicted to happen about ten years ago when the scale of the previous propaganda effort was being recognised. When we have events like ANZAC Day or Memorial Day you might think about saving lives by taking an interest in this kind of thing.

What The Heck Is Wrong With Us!!?? What Part of THEY LIE TO US CONSTANTLY Don't You Understand?

an e-mail arrived in my inbox from the Kick them all out campaign and it is worthy of sharing  so here goes:
Quote To Remember
"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.... Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same policies
Carroll Quigley,"Tragedy and Hope:a History of the World in our Time"



Why Do So Many Fall For These People?


It absolutely confounds me why so many people fall for the STARS that the powers-that-be prop-up in front of us. How can otherwise bright, intelligent people become stupefyingly lame-headed and suckered by people that are clearly just saying exactly what everyone wants to hear? It happens over and over again. Once they are elected,
they do nothing for us! Duh!!

Why do you think that is? Could it be that they
never gave a damn about us to begin with? Could it be that when those in power offered to "make them rich and famous" and that they may have been seduced? No, that couldn't be it. Not our precious fill in the name of your favorite savior here.

The sad fact is many of us have been socially conditioned to
idealize celebrity! It astounds me how easily people will glom onto someone and idealize them beyond any reasonable proportions. How many of our so-called leaders turn out to be worthy of our adoration and idealizations? How many discredited, corrupt political stars can look right into a camera, right into your eyes, smile and LIE without a second thought? That's why they pick these people. They can do this without any trouble whatsoever. Oh, but not Obama. He would never do anything like that. Sarah would never do anything like that. They are real. They are genuine, right? You just "know" they are by what you've seen on TV, or heard at a rally you saw her at. Or my God, she actually spoke to you personally at a rally. She seemed so real, so nice.

I think I may have to projectile vomit. Please excuse me for a moment . . .

Can you detect a bit of ire in my tone? I'm just so tired of seeing good people act out the same stupid behavior. There I said it. I said the "S" word.

Another strange thing that happens to many of us is when we see someone often enough on television we start to feel that we know them, as if they are a friend. Familiarity is not the same thing as friendship everyone. Friendship requires an actual relationship. Can any of you really say you know a darn thing about Palin or any of these people propped up before us? You only know what you've seen and heard through the media. Their sound bites are carefully orchestrated and controlled.

Some people were offended because I put the photo of Obama and Palin dancing in the campaign video. Nobody seems to have a problem with Obama being there, but "How dare I" put Saint Palin in with him! She's the real deal. She's "one of us."

Did any of you notice that Sarah Palin came out of nowhere just like Obama came out of nowhere? Suddenly she was thrust into the limelight with the full might and power of the establishment celebrity machine. She was everywhere and still is. They made her a star overnight and dazzled everyone inclined to be dazzled by her. She's gone from total obscurity to a multimillionaire folks. Do you really think they would have picked her if she wasn't going to serve their purposes?

There is no difference between what they did with Obama and what they are doing with Palin my friends. Look at that photo to the left. Look really hard and next time you watch Sarah, see if you can't see that this is exactly what she is doing. She's a performer. She's being paid a lot of money to do what she's doing. She's telling you exactly what she has been told you want to hear, what will sucker you in and make her more famous and powerful. Yes, she may believe some of what she says but make no mistake.
She is not going to help us! Everyone who is gaga for Palin will see she won't deliver any better than Obama if she actually gets elected to anything. She is surrounded and controlled by the same "old guard" that's been in the primary "appointed" positions of power and advisory positions since Kennedy was assassinated.

Some people were also offended by the morphed photo of Obama and Bush I put in the campaign video. Don't you remember that Bush LIED to us about practically everything? Bush and his trusty sidekick Cheney, or was it the other way around, LIED us into Middle East wars that are still raging. If you're short on memory, watch this little video I put together. Bush's reign roughly doubled the size and power of the government, all accomplished through lies. He exploited 9-11 to put into place a domestic police state apparatus that would be right at home in Stalin's Russia, or Mao's China, or China today for that matter. He ended his reign by rubber stamping the first banker bailout. Remember the $700 BILLION which now has become over 24 TRILLION? Oh yea. Bush is a great sacred cow. He's a hero. He's the real deal.

The morphed photo of Obambush is the cold hard truth. There has been a total continuity of agenda passing from one administration to the next, from one Congress to the next and it's been like that for a very long time. Want more proof? Listen to this amazing speech given by Charles A. Lindberg given back in 1941 in which he talks about the exact same lunatics doing the exact same things.

This insanity is not going to stop until we stop being so gullible. To ignore this truth is pure folly. Go ahead and do what the Obama devotees have done, fawn over celebrity and soon you will all be hanging your heads, just like all the Obama zombies are doing right now.

It's Called Controlled Opposition Folks

It is a fact that those in power know how to manipulate and control us. It's a fine art to them. The best way to control the opposition is to become the opposition. They have been doing it for a long, long time. The second they feel a group can pose a threat they will infiltrate it and make sure their people will rise to the top leadership positions.

Another sacred cow to many people is Glen Beck. Folks, we can't afford any sacred cows. We have to see clearly without any wishful thinking sugar-coating our perceptions. Again, do you really think the establishment machine would give Beck a multimillion-dollar studio and an enormous salary if he wasn't going to serve their purposes? Come on!

Yes, he speaks the truth about many things. Great, however, haven't you noticed on every single major issue he has betrayed us? He was for the banker bailout. He's for a VAT tax (value-added tax) to pay down the fraudulent debt owed to the Federal Reserve. He trashed Ron Paul at every turn. He was going to expose the truth of FEMA camps. Oops, no, there aren't any FEMA camps. It's just another conspiracy theory.

Beck is being used to corral and control the Tea Party/Patriot movement. It's so obvious. Just because someone tells you things you want to hear, just because much of it is actually true, doesn't mean you can trust them, especially someone like Beck. He has a history of betraying our trust. We cannot afford to HOPE he is a different man now that he is speaking more truthfully. I would be willing to wager fake Federal Reserve money that he's only doing it because
he's being told to do it by those that have made him rich and famous.

Remember the big march in Washington? Millions showed up and there was no media coverage. It's as if it didn't' happen. Remember all the rallies that have been held. Did any of those get the kind of coverage the recent Glen Beck extravaganza got? Hell no! Do you really think Beck's rally got the kind of coverage it got because it stood any chance of producing any real change? Come on! That event was simply a way to make everyone feel as if something is actually happening, that some actual momentum is beginning. It's not. Beck will not lead you anywhere except deeper down the rat hole. You will never hear him promoting anything that will create real change.
We're in deep trouble. We cannot afford to be seduced by the same old tactics we've been seduced by in the past. If we don't snap out of it, we are not going to prevail in this battle. We have to stop "hoping these people will save us." They won't. They are paid to make sure we are contained, that our anger and energy is siphoned off into things that will not lead us anywhere. They are paid to make sure we do not organize into any action that will actually change anything. If I were in real deep danger, I would not want someone like Beck or Palin watching my back!

We Cannot Effect Change In Congress By Changing Which Party Has A Majority.

The quote by Carol Quigley at the top of this newsletter says it all. The most important part of the quote:
"the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy."
The only way to effect "real change" in Congress is to THROW THEM ALL OUT! It must be a total house cleaning. Members of both parties must be purged. The system must learn that we are onto them. We have to show them we know the two party system is a sham and that it's just one big party, the big government/globalization party, by stopping support for either party. It's simple to do. Throwing them all out shows the entire system we are not falling for the false left/right paradigm anymore. We want people that will honor their oath of office and "protect and defend our unalienable rights" first and foremost! We don't care what party they suck up to.

Every single election we play out the same stupid behavior. We play their game and only about 15% of the Congress turns over . . . if we're lucky. The vast majority of players remain the same and
nothing changes for the better. When we play the "flip the Congress" game, nothing changes because the bureaucracy that really runs the show is set up to ensure the underlying continuity of agenda continues no matter which party is in control.

We have to stop playing their game and
hold them ALL accountable. We have to demonstrate that we know the truth of things and stop acting like total idiots.


I agree

The Iraq inquiry; Tony Blair said he believed that Saddam had WMD's

Either the CIA and British intelligence people were manipulated or they themselves did the manipulation to place us over there in Iraq for corporational profit.
Fact is no WMD's have ever been discovered in Iraq.
So either the CIA and British intelligence people are very easy to manipulate through false info or those alphabet people lied to Blair and Bush.
Perhaps Blair and Bush just out and out lied on their own.

So what are we to believe?
#1That they are all stupid and incompetent at their jobs?
#2 They are intelligent and know what's up and gleefully deceived us all.

Lets just say that WMD's (weapons of mass destruction) had been there.
Isn't America responsible for Saddam having them in the first place?

When are they going to get a clue and understand that the more they try to prevent this mess from happening the more it happens? The fact is that the more we meddle trying to manipulate an outcome that they would consider favorable the more they have to fix the mess they created.(and it's always a mess)
There is a pattern here that is clear to anyone that can see. Of course in order for that to happen they would have to take their heads out of their arrogant fear driven arse's or out of the corporational arse's they are licking and pay attention.
