USA Intervention prolongs Tyrany and Prevents Democracy

It is this authors opinion that the progress of democracy is inevitable.  I also believe that it is the best form of government for all people’s worldwide.  Additionally, I wholeheartedly support efforts to educate, advocate and promote peaceful democracy worldwide.  However, war is a terrible thing and as we learned in our own Revolution and Civil War a great many people die prematurely for something which is so inevitable that we do not need bloodshed for its achievement.  And for those conservative pundits who argue with me on this, well!  Have you been in the US military?  Is your child in the US military?  Have you been confronted with the agony of mobilization and deployment?  Yes, I have and so have my children.  So, before we go wrapping everything in the flag, let’s talk. Okay.

Democracy has many forms, including limited democracy such as a real monarchy, and on to parliamentary democracy and a Republic like the USA.  However,  there is not one form that fits all societies.  A tribal system such as Libya and Iraq may not be historically, culturally or ethnically suited for USA style democracy.  Rather, ethnic, cultural, religious and societal uniqueness may require that democracy be tailored to the local situation.

And I completely agree that many societies in the Middle East of our world are seeking a greater form of democratic society.  However, in distinction from my colleagues, I suggest that democracy was and is inevitable in these societies and that the modern interconnected Internet world, would and will, sooner than later, achieve that democracy, worldwide.  However, in many countries and societal situations the so-called “powerful” need to learn the new methods of power and government.  It is my belief that they would have, and they will learn the modern way without violence, bloodshed and death.  It is inevitable.

But, many object, that in the societies of the Middle East, it is taking too long.  First, I ask you, if you are a citizen of the country you criticise?  If not, shut up.  It is none of your business and don’t spout the crap about “you are your brothers keeper”.  When you leave your USA armchair and travel to the streets of the struggle and face the bullets, then maybe, and only maybe, then you will have a little right to speak.  Hey, brother, please don’t tell me what I must die for.  You die in my place, okay? And then, I will religiously lay a wreath at your grave. Deal?

It is this author’s opinion that much of the violence and the death happening worldwide and especially in the Mid East is caused by geopolitical aims and seeks to falsely use democracy as the excuse for the extension of a western economic imperial model that has nothing to do with the “quality of life” of the protagonists and a lot to do with the wealth and continued economic imperialism of western governments and corporations.

Rather, let’s not arm the rebels.  Let’s educate them on civil organization and political reality.  But, you say, that we tried that and it failed.  Did it?  In my opinion, it did not fail. It simply did not meet our expectations.  We will need to extend our timelines and get real about what is possible now and what can only be achieved later.

Friends, I will not dictate that for which you must die.  Rather, I will do everything I can to promote your freedom within the context, society and culture in which you live.  In the end, the result will be the same because freedom and I believe, democracy, are inevitable.

 

 

Graham and Mc Cain War Oriented

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2012/02/20/senators-want-to-arm-syrian-rebels.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=cheatsheet_morning&cid=newsletter%3Bemail%3Bcheatsheet_morning&utm_term=Cheat%20Sheet

It continues to disturb this writer that Senator Mc Cain is a very hostile person who wants war, armaments and interventionist policies to prevail.  We intervened in Egypt with our President Obama saying that our long time friend Mubarak “Must go”.  The result is chaos in Egypt and a military government trying to prevail against radical terrorist Muslims, and Islamic radical mobs burning Christian Churches, terrorising Christian business people and threatening to make Christianity illegal in Egypt.  Then we supported the rag-tag rebellion against the sovereign government of Libya, which government was a UN member, forsworn against terrorism and nuclear armament in return for USA consideration.  But our government changed from George W. Bush and Condie Rice to Barrack Hussein Obama and Hilary Rodman Clinton, both of whom reneged on USA promises, backed the UN resolution 1973 against Gaddafi, and supported the 2300 bombing raids, the 225 cruise missile attacks, and the use of the terrifying A 10 anti personnel aircraft against the legal, uniformed and legitimate military forces of the sovereign UN recognized Libyan government.  The result is chaos, a weak central government and the fear that the approximately 10 to 20 thousand shoulder launched missiles of the Gaddafi government are now being funneled to A Qaeda.  Hey, folks, the so-called terrorist Gaddafi and his military forces did not use those anti-aircraft, anti tank, anti naval missiles!  Why not?  Because they believed assurances that the UN resolution 1973 protected them against the murderous rebels. Instead, Gaddafi was brutalized and obscenely murdered, his son killed, and his supporters rounded up and quietly exterminated by the new “freedom loving??” Libyan government.  The Syrian Government is also an independent sovereign State, member of United Nations and engaged in a brutal civil war.  And yes, the legally constituted government and the legitimate uniformed military forces and police of that government have been brutal in suppression of the civil war.  However, in the USA, it is illegal for anybody to advocate the violent overthrow of the USA Federal or State government. In fact, if such an armed conflict broke out in the USA, the penalty is death by firing squad or hanging.  Such death by bullet or rope, could under a military emergency and martial law, be administered by the USA military forces in summary field executions. So, friends, before we fool-heartedly get involved in yet another illegal military adventure, let’s be honest with ourselves and tell the world, especially the Russians, that we intend to continue to foment revolution in their backyard and they had better get used to the idea.  And then, when the Russians visit Mexico and try to overthrow that government, we too, had better get used to the idea.  And by the way, why shouldn’t the Iranians stop selling oil to France and UK.  It’s their oil from their land and if they don’t want to sell it to their enemies, France and UK, well, that’s their business.  We don’t sell to the Iranians because we say that they are our enemies.  So who is the hypocrite here?

Sarkozy a Phony, Libya a Crime and the World Liars

http://news.yahoo.com/sarkozy-advises-against-military-strike-iran-215253967.html  This writer is made sick by this article.  Now Sarkozy says that the solution to problems is Diplomacy, etc. ( see article).  Before with Libya, he was all missiles, bombs, strafing, war and destruction of an entire sovereign nation called Libya.  I have written extensively on this blog about the illegal criminal war against Libya and the Leader of the Revolution Gaddafi.  Here I simply call attention to the travesty of international political phoniness by Sarkozy, Cameron, and Obama abetted by a superfluous but dangerous UN and its crony Security Council.  The base line is this:  The UN resolution 1973 was dead wrong and allowed to be gravely misused by Sarkozy, Obama and Cameron as they dropped at least 2000 bombs on the army, navy and air force of a UN member country called Libya.  The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not an arm of the UN.  It is a war making organization parading as a defense organization. It is a throwback to the Cold War and should be disbanded for its criminal activities in Libya. Why? Because the legal government under Gaddafi was internationally recognized as the legal government and even the new puppet regime in Tripoli agrees that all contracts signed by the Gaddafi government are legal and binding!!

The Libyan government under Gaddafi was criminally attacked by NATO forces under the excuse of protecting civilians.  How were the civilians being attacked.  They were not. This is plain fact.  However, rebellious para military forces backed by France (Sarkozy) Britain (Cameron) USA ( Obama) and aided by Belgium (?), fought against the legal government seeking its overthrown.  These para military forces were without regular military organization. They were not recognizable by a regular military uniform. Their tactics of attacking the legal government forces, facilities and jurisdictions are recognized by other governments as the actions of terrorists!!  [If this was the case today in USA, the law allows the Obama administration to utterly crush the military rebellion and then to hang all its leaders as traitors. (Yes, it is illegal to attempt the forced overthrow of the USA government and the penalty for such action is death.)] Yes, the US Obama administration backed the UN resolution 1973 authorizing military force against a UN member nation. The President later did not commit USA military ground troops to the overthrow of the legal sovereign government of Libya opting instead, to providing cruise missiles, Air Force plans, Navy ships, and A-10 attack planes in order to carry out the blatantly criminal aggression against the country of Libya.  In a just world, (yes, this is not a just world), the criminal aggressor nations would be indicted by the UN (really!) as aggressors.  They would also be indicted by the International Court at the Hague for aggression against a sovereign nation of the international community of nations and against a legal member of the United Nations and a nation recognized as legal by 101 nations.  In a just world, this writer believes that all three leaders, Sarkozy, Cameron and (Nobel Peace Prize winner) Obama would be found guilty of criminal aggression and could even face charges of genocide against the Libyan people.  Hey, facts are facts and the 200 plus cruise missiles, the 2000 plus air force sorties against the legal army of Libya were all carried out without a legal Declaration of War which according to international law and the USA Manual of Land Warfare and the USA Military Code of Justice constitutes lawless and wanton criminal behavior.   By the way, Gaddafi did not have Weapons of Mass destruction.  He did not have and was not developing any form of nuclear weapon. He was not a military or terrorist threat to the nations of the International community.  Yes, he was at one time. But that had been adjudicated by international agreement, an agreement which shamefully, was completely disregarded by the Obama administration and as far as this writer knows, was not defended by former Sec. State Condi Rice nor former President George Bush!!)  The legal Gaddafi government was not killing hundreds of its people daily.  It was not bombing its own cities.  Its jails were not overflowing with prisoners ( look at the US jails. We cannot build them fast enough!!) Yet, the UN and the NATO aggressors were allowed to brutally attack and destroy the legal government of Libya and allowed to murder the head of the Revolution, Gaddafi.  This amounts not only to brutal wanton aggression but to illegal Regicide which is an odious form of assassination.  All of the foregoing is very disheartening to this writer.  Why? Because the Game of Nations seem to be above the law and therefore, the drones that are aimed against our supposed enemies by the USA, can be reproduced and aimed against us.  But you say that our assassination drones only murder those who are guilty.  Well, that is our definition of things.  But when they send their drones against us, we will be defined by them as those who deserve to die without benefit of accuser, indictment, defense and trial.  But you say “they” did that to “us” on 9/11.  Yes, they did, the bastards!  But does that mean that we too become terrorist bastards?  I hope not,  but the evidence of this administration and of France and Britain point to the adage that “Might makes right.”  If that is the case, than we can all despair because justice does not exist and the law of the jungle reigns supreme.   PS. The Menvedev regime of Russia and the Communist regime of China could have vetoed UN resultion 1973.  They did not and one thinks they felt betrayed because they objected during the brutal NATO criminal aggression but did not act.  Now, it is hopeful that the Russian Confederation under Putin and the Communist Chinese government will continue to successfully veto Western aggression and NATO brutality and Genocide.

The End of Anti Gaddalfi brings Light on Sarkozy and Cameron-(War criminals?)

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28493  This blog  opposed President Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron because their so-called humanitarian attack against Libya was a War Crime and by extension a War against Humanity.  Now respected French politicians and researchers uncover the true nature of the criminal UN sponsored war against a member State.  A very sad story of betrayed and one small man’s vanity which destroyed a free nation.

Is Intervention Selective?

Should the UN intervene in Syria.  Obviously, as some have pointed out about the situation in Libya, the Syria leader is a dictator.  He is brutal in repression of his people.  He has torture chambers.  He has decimated cities.  The reports so far are numbering above one thousand innocent civilians killed, thousands more arrested and whole urban populations surrounded by the Army.  Yet, no Security Council resolution?  No French and British, Canadian and USA demand for NATO bombs and USA Cruise missile attacks?  So, let’s see!  The Libyan situation was worse?  I think not.  Or, the Libyan dictator was more brutal.  No?  Oh, it must be that the Libyan civilian population is more worthy of foreign intervention via NATO and the Syrians are not? (Are Syrian civilian dead less valuable than Libyan civilian dead?) Or maybe there is no ready-made French and British dominated government in exile residing in London or Paris?  Or maybe the foreign oil companies are not interested in Syrian oil fields?  So, what is it about selective foreign military intervention that makes the Libyan foray legitimate and any other is suspect?  Some would say that the UN which is a peace keeping institution has to first okay foreign nations who want to war against other member nations?  Does that make UN a world government?   What about the rule of law.  Does the rule of Law apply to War between the sovereign governments ( that usually includes dictatorships< surprise surprise>!) or does the rule of law apply only to some countries and not others?  In the case of the USA, the silence of the Congress on the deployment of USA military assets into the war against Libya is troubling. Estimates are the war cost the US taxpayers one billion dollars.  What did it cost Canada?  What did Germany pay?  What about Russia, or Australia?  Is only the USA the moral policeman and the beleaguered US taxpayer the only ones who must pay up for wars to free the poor down trodden people of  South West Asia (the USA military designation for the areas involved).? The moral case can be made for UN intervention in many places. This writer is completely in favor of the defeat of brutal dictatorships wherever they are to be found.  None the less, the argument made in these posts concerns the serendipitous pursuit of illogical and capricious foreign policy.  I am a citizen of the USA so my opinions regarding Sarkozy and Cameroon are those of an outsider, although under the rubrics of critics they would be allowed under the concepts of one world order.  However, the main concerns are:  US foreign adventurism by the USA administration; the lack of USA Congressional authority for the deployment and use of USA military assets in the obvious pursuit of war by one sovereign State against another, (the UN does not have authority to okay US deployment of weapons of Mass destruction ( that is not only nuclear bombs but includes Cruise Missiles, A-10 anti personnel aircraft); UN mandate or no, the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance fare exceeded the UN resolution 1973 when it (as the Brits said) “…pursued the obvious extension and logical conclusion of resolution 1973…which is the defeat and destruction of the Gaddafi Government…”  By the way this writer was in the US Army for thirty years and has witnessed the lethal nature of bombs, missiles and the A10.  These are not exact (pin point) weapons.  When they are used they may indeed hit the target but the blow up effect is wide and in the case of the bombs and missiles anyone within thousands of feet to the impact area would be killed or at the least very seriously injured.  Since the UN okayed the effort and NATO launched at least five hundred missile attacks and thousands of bomb runs and thousands of strafing attacks, are we to suppose that zero civilians were killed?

Puppet Masters

The Libyan situation is playing out like a very well orchestrated puppet show.  But who are the puppet masters.  We know about  Sarkozy, Obama, Cameron.  But what about the back room players.  How did these three get away with toppling the Legally recognized government of Libya.  (This writer acknowledges the dictatorship and to be revealed horrors of the regime) but there are plenty of others and we are not yet waging a United Nations backed “war of civilian protection” against these regimes.  So who are the unseen players?  What did they contribute the this “peacekeeping” war. And what do they intend to get out of it.  This is surprized at the open display of leftist organizations and international organizations claiming to be for human rights.  Who was it that was immediately present in Tripoli to search for and reveal the alleged cooperation of former governments with the Libyan regime?  Why are these organizations very anxious to produce allegations against former leaders?  We know of the French connect.  We also witness the Murdock scandal implicating Cameron and the London riots.  Now we have Obama in trouble with the electorate.  Would a hulabaloo scandal against the former regimes of of England and USA work to the “surprize” advantage of these warmongers.  In England we already have the announcement of an investigation into the ties of the former government and Libya, sort of a real quick play to throw the dirt of the other guy and divert attention from the Cameron troubles.  What will be next. You can expect a revisit to the former USA administration and the return of the Liberal shout that all of the USA problems were caused by Bush.

Brits Play Role in Killing Supporters of Gaddafi

British aircraft fired cruise missiles at a headquarters bunker overnight in Gaddafi’s birthplace of Sirte. A city beyond rebel control, on the Mediterranean coast 450 km (300 miles) east of Tripoli, some believe he might seek refuge there among his tribesmen. Loyalist forces also still hold positions deep in the Sahara desert. “Sirte remains an operating base from which pro-Gaddafi troops project hostile forces against Misrata and Tripoli,” a NATO official said, adding that its forces had also acted to stop a column of 29 vehicles heading west toward Misrata. In Benghazi, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani said the bombing in Sirte was aimed at ammunition stores and depots for Scud missiles. “Maybe the mercenaries will run away,” he said, referring to suggestions Gaddafi’s forces include hired fighters from Chad and other sub-Saharan African countries. “After this bombing, maybe the people there will try to rise up.” he added, saying TNC commanders were also in contact with tribal chiefs in Sirte, hoping to avoid bloodshed. Such negotiations will be a major challenge across the country for Libya’s new rulers as they try to meet expectations of young men now bearing arms and to heal ethnic, tribal and other divisions that have been exacerbated by civil war. This writer asks your indulgence as he screams objection to the wholesale killing tactics of the NATO military alliance. There is just no way any reasonable person can say that innocent civilians are not being slaughtered wholesale by the powerful cruise missiles that NATO is using to bomb the free people of SIRTE into submission. It does not matter to NATO that the free people of Sirte do not want the European imposed Rebel government. Rate this: Rate This Share this: Share Like this: Like Be the first to like this post.

Why Does NATO Kill the Gaddafi Supporters

British aircraft fired cruise missiles at a headquarters bunker overnight in Gaddafi’s birthplace of Sirte.

A city beyond rebel control, on the Mediterranean coast 450 km (300 miles) east of Tripoli, some believe he might seek refuge there among his tribesmen. Loyalist forces also still hold positions deep in the Sahara desert.

“Sirte remains an operating base from which pro-Gaddafi troops project hostile forces against Misrata and Tripoli,” a NATO official said, adding that its forces had also acted to stop a column of 29 vehicles heading west toward Misrata.

In Benghazi, rebel military spokesman Ahmed Bani said the bombing in Sirte was aimed at ammunition stores and depots for Scud missiles. “Maybe the mercenaries will run away,” he said, referring to suggestions Gaddafi’s forces include hired fighters from Chad and other sub-Saharan African countries.

NATO is Judge and Jury in LIbya

http://news.yahoo.com/nato-hits-gadhafi-hometown-tripoli-celebrates-150013569.html

NATO is deciding who is right and who is wrong.  That’s okay inside NATO, but Libya was a sovereign Country.  NATO is deciding who will live and who will die.  Nobody can imagine that the NATO bombs do not kill Libya civilians.  But the NATO people say that is okay that the supporters of Gaddafi die.  NATO is deciding the fate of all of the residents of Libya.  The rebels are already detaining wounded civilians for interrogation and execution.  But NATO says this is okay because the wounded are Gaddafi supporters and they deserve to die.  NATO is taking sides at every turn of this phony war for the oil wealth of Libya.  In this article we read that they are bombing the tribal home and birth place of Gaddafi.  Why?  Because these good innocent and freedom loving people are choosing to support Gaddafi.  This is wrong according to NATO and therefore we will bomb them into submission or death!  All the while the American public is duped into complacency because Gaddafi is BAD and the rebels are Good.  If all of this were not happening right in front of us, it would not even be worthy of a second rate 1950’s fantasy movie.  Sadly, it is happening and all of it is blatant aggression of the (N)orth (A)tlantic (T)reaty (O)rganization  (NATO), a western European, white and Christian military alliance with major support from USA, against one small North African Dessert country called Libya.  Population six million.  Race and color is brown.  Religion is Muslim.  WHERE ARE THE AMERICAN LIBERAL PROTESTERS?   WHERE IS THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL?  Will no religious group, other than the Vatican support peace in Libya? Why did Sarkozy turn a Judas against Gaddafi?  Why did Obama betray his African brother?  Why did Russia’s Putin become the lap dog of the French and British when he refused to veto the betrayal agreement crafted by the United nations? It’s all about the revival of French and British Colonial Imperialism and Obama’s Napoleanic dreams of his Arab Spring!

Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron are Liars

http://news.yahoo.com/libyan-rebels-attacking-tripoli-224402452.html I am a little guy.  I live in a small house, I earn an average salary and I live modestly.  And I hate liars.

I am embarrassed.  As a proud citizen of the most powerful nation in the world, I am ashamed of the conduct of this War of Illegal aggression against the Sovereign State of Libya.

Yes, I tis a dictatorship.  But so are many, yes MANY nations around the world.

Yes, it is a third world nation, but so are many African and Arab countries.

Yes, it has the oil in abundance, but so do many nations in Africa.

And I am ashamed, because the United Nations is a whore.  It sold itself to French Imperialist Sarkozy, British Colonialist Cameron and Just straight out liar Obama.  This article which clearly details the egregious aggression of the  NATO European Military Alliance against Libya, is a terrible indictment of the Obama Administrations duplicity and outright lying in its pursuit of World domination at the expense of fundamental civil liberties.  All three leaders are liars.  And I hate Liars.  It is impossible for any truthful citizen of our world to read this article and conclude that the NATO ( that definitely includes USA, no matter how much Obama seeks to hide his lies and bullying ways)  I HATE BULLIES…NATO is engaged in an illegal act of criminal aggression of enormous scope which boggles the mind.  NATO and therefore the USA is engaged in an undeclared war, which by definition of the so-called “August” Hague Tribunal,  is itself a war CRIME.

In so far as the USA has engaged with the NATO military alliance in illegal acts of aggression against the people of Libya and against the Sovereign and independent country of Libya… these actions must be brought before the tribunal of fair and equitable American public opinion and judged according to the laws and rules of the USA.  It may, (sadly) be that Obama and his administration are found to be criminally engaged in an illegal act of international significance which  would be cause for impeachment and conviction by the Congress of the USA.
