The other thing to keep in mind is that these are the people who are coming back from war zones and getting jobs as cops. The difference now, is that in the times of WWII, soldiers spent weeks on ships heading home from battle giving them time to debrief. Now, they are home in days and expected to fit back into society, when all they have known for the last 3-6 months is what we see below. Forget all the bull shit you hear trying to convince you they disserved to die, they are firing on PEOPLE. It used to be when you were guilty of something you went to trial. Now, if you are a terrorist/insurgent/militant the army becomes judge jury and executioner, everyday.

I’m kind of at a loss for words regarding the video below. It is a video released by wikileaks which was apparently going to be released by the pentagon but they decided against it, and I can see why.  Apparently wikileaks broke the encryption on the video and has pissed off some people high up in the chain of command in the US military-industrial complex. 

The video was shot by a US helicopter in Iraq and shows a group of photographers and other civilians who look to be preparing to set up a camera for some reason. However, the US soldier on the gun mistakes their camera’s as AK-47′s, a mistake that isn’t all that surprising, considering that is what they are trained to see. It really goes to show you that since they are expecting to see people with weapons. 

It seems sick hearing the soldier seemingly challenging this injured civilian to pick up a weapon, especially considering they didn’t seem to have weapons. It really gives insight into the minds of these people when they are almost begging the order allowing them to shoot innocent civilians. 

Then, a black van drives up and appears to try and rescue one of the individuals hurt in this air-strike. It has been confirmed that there are two children in the black van but that doesn’t seem to stop this soldier. Isn’t it against the rules of war to kill people attempting to aid the injured??? It’s sick to hear the soldiers laughing as the tanks drive over bodies of civilians assumed dead.

Warning: Subject matter is very graphic.

It amazes me for many reasons but I will take a moment to express some of them here.  Firstly, these men who are beaten had no involvement in the Mumbai attacks and are innocent of everything but being a Muslim (a charge that carries a very real social sentence). Given that India is still reeling from these attacks, I will for a moment accept that they cannot comprehend the extreme hypocrisy. By condemning these innocent men to this, they are no better than those individuals who orchestrated these attacks killing other innocent people. It must also be noted that as their actions were inspired by the crimes against their people, allegedly at the hands of Muslim Extremists, so to will these actions inspire further hatred of (or in my case utter disappointment in) the Indian people.

Secondly, since this attack seems to have all the hallmarks of a false flag operation (automatic weapons and grenades, evidence of warnings, concurrent highly organized attacks, involvement by an alleged CIA asset, etc), they are playing into the hands of these attackers by reacting violently and vindictively against Muslim’s in India, even though it was Muslim Extremists who were initially blamed by the western corporate media before all the evidence was in (As an aside, I don’t think that Mainstream Media is appropriate as most people now get their news online and I will no longer use MSM, only Corporate Media, but I digress).

Lastly, although this point goes along with my hypocrisy point somewhat, anyone who does what is seen on this tape, no matter their motivation/justification, is a sadistic criminal who should be removed from society. Although, by the looks on the soldiers faces they have a future in law enforcement/the military.

Again, WARNING: this video is extreme…

Hiroshima: Warning To The World – Japan

I especially like the part where one of the first reporters to arrive in Hiroshima, Wilfred Burchett, described the radiation poisoning.

 “In the immediate aftermath of the bomb, the allied occupation authorities banned all mention of radiation poisoning […] For telling [the] truth, his press accreditation was withdrawn; he was pilloried and smeared […]”

His article, aptly named “I write this as a warning to the world,” should serve as warning still; a warning that when it comes to truth, the government isn’t interested. There was/is an obvious disconnect between the will of the American people and the way in which their leaders inflict ‘foreign policy’ on the rest of the world.  While most citizens would see interventionist foreign policy such as sanctions and war acceptable only as a reaction to threat or violence the reality is, it seems, that the US has wanted nothing more then to bait countries into war, or diminish its own atrocities, (as in the case of Hiroshima) under the guise that a greater evil exists.  The truth, however, remains that no other country in recorded history has ever used atomic weapons on civilians other then the US (who also seem to be the ones who are quickest to remind the world they still have the bomb, kinda like a game of chicken).
