UPDATE: In order
to fabricate a “world consensus” on the removal of Gadhafi, the
elites have contracted the assistance of a globalist prosecutor at
the ICC, a man linked to the World Bank, to step up and
“investigate” Gadhafi’s alleged crimes against humanity. In
typical show trial fashion, Moreno
Ocampo has already declared, prior to ANY investigation, that he
is “100%
sure” Gadhafi is guilty. The fake liberal site,
Huffington Post, is running with the story just as fast as they can
with no question as to how a prosecutor can assign quilt or innocence
prior to an investigation. Here’s a little background on
Ocampo…
“He has acted
as a consultant to the World
Bank, the Inter-American
Development Bank and the United
Nations“
“He defended
several controversial figures, including Diego
Maradona, former economics minister Domingo
Cavallo, and a priest accused of sexually abusing minors”
For those of you
who don’t know, Domingo Cavallo is the globalist Milton Friedman
acolyte who worked with President Menem to neoliberalize Argentina
back during the George H. W. Bush years. He should have been
prosecuted for what he helped do to his home country but Ocampo
helped get him off.
(Also,
as Stan pointed out, most prostitutes are honest, straight forward
people who really aren’t trying to harm anyone. By comparison,
these neoliberal shills make your average prostitute look like a
saint. I didn’t mean to insult the practitioners of the world’s
oldest profession by linking them to our newest class of sell-outs.
Please forgive my insensitivity. No disrespect was intended.)
————
The “obvious
humanitarian crisis” is how Hillary Clinton, proven
globalist
war-monger and neoliberal lick-spittle, recently
justified our initial involvement in Libya. This is simply not true.
It is eerily reminiscent of her speech on the senate floor in Oct. of
2002 where she quoted every single Bush/Cheney lie to persuade other
democrats to vote for an illegal and immoral invasion and occupation
of Iraq. This was her speech and if anyone claims, “Bush Lied
People Died” they better remember Hillary’s words as well.
“In the four
years since the inspectors left, “intelligence reports”
(fabricated by Rumsfeld’s Office
of Special Plans, run by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas
Feith) show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical
and biological stockpiles, his missile delivery capability, and his
nuclear weapon program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary
to terrorists including al Qaeda members. It is clear however, that
if left unchecked Saddam will continue to increase his capacity to
wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop
nuclear weapons.” Hillary
Clinton, in support of the globalist occupation and regime change in
Iraq, 2002
What is
painfully obvious these days is that alternative media icons are
helping spread Clinton’s
Karl Rovesque hawkish fantasies about Libya, just like
they also helped back in the lead-up to Iraq days, in order to help
justify more profitable war and the wholesale privatization of Libya
which is sure to follow.
Talk about
strange bedfellows. Here’s a mental picture for you; Bill Kristol
going heels to Jesus on Amy Goodman with Juan Cole and John
Negroponte playing “touch my wand” in the corner with a disco
ball flashing overhead and “Friday” playing on the hi-fi.
Don’t like
that image seared into your brain for life? Tough. That’s what
happens when you work your asses off to support the moderate “Obama
agenda“. Why not get Arianna and Stewart to do
another “Everything
is Just Fine… for Some of Us” march on Washington
with C3PO and a midget in a robot costume. That’ll make you feel
better about the Obama betrayal.
Going back over
all the MSM and “progressive” left’s neocon-like pro-war PR
spin, you find one thing is consistent time and time again and that
is that each reported “atrocity” comes straight from a
rebel “witness” with no video or photographs to
back them up. Or you had real atrocities carried out by
people like the “yellow
hats” who were clearly not Gadhafi’s soldiers or
police, but rather rebel supporters in civilian looking clothes but
with these silly yellow hard-hats running around beating peaceful
protesters in full view of rebel video cameras which had been set up
prior to the PR event. Later they used videos of fighting between
Gadhafi’s police and the “rebels” as “evidence” of the
make-believe slaughter, forgetting to mention that any police or
military unit is going to defend itself when a small faction of
capitalist sponsored thugs attack them in the open with automatic
weapons and even heavier equipment.
It’s
one lie after another lie, followed up by a half-truth, and then some
outright propaganda, served up with a heart warming shot of
self-righteous self-satisfaction. A recipe for war
promotion dating back to the Greeks and probably back to cave
dwellers who’ s chief wanted to profit from grabbing the beads of
the neighboring tribes.
Remember the two
fighter jet attacks on Libyan civilians way-back-when? Never
happened. Gates
and Mullen said it never happened and suddenly the
Obama cheerleaders dropped that bullshit from their justification
menu.
Q: Do
you see any evidence that he actually has fired on his own people
from the air? There were reports of it, but do you have
independent confirmation? If so, to what extent?
SEC. GATES:
We’ve seen the press reports, but we have no confirmation of
that.
ADM. MULLEN:
That’s correct. We’ve seen no confirmation whatsoever
Remember the
fighter jet that got shot down and was used as “proof” that
Gadhafi had violated his promise to cancel military actions? It
was staged and they used their own jet. The truth
about that came out because the plane rolled too much to the left
before crashing and the pre-set video camera caught the full frontal
view and it turns out, it wasn’t Gadhafi’s plane. Oops! The
complicit left had to drop that bullshit as well.
Remember when
the SAS
and MI6 spooks got caught in Libya trying to hand over
weapons and make plans with the “rebels”? That’s how
destabilization campaigns work. Ever hear Juan Cole talk about that?
“The crack
troops, armed with guns, ammunition, explosives and false
passports, were mistaken for enemy spies, detained and stripped of
their mobile phones and satellite communications devices.”
And I bet most
don’t know that there were reports of British and U.S. secret
forces landing in Libya to
aid the “rebels” as far back as Feb. 24th 2011.
Did Amy ever do a big show on that?
“The
advisers, including intelligence officers, were dropped from warships
and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk
Thursday Feb. 24“
I bet they also
don’t know that Hillary
Clinton met with the leader of the “rebels” a week
before the U.S. pushed for the passage of the U.N. no-fly zone
mandate which was simply cover for the planned regime change.
“In
Washington, President Obama again said it was time for Colonel
Qaddafi “to leave.””
They probably
also don’t know that mandate, aside from giving them universal
cover like the “coalition of the willing” did back in 2003, also
froze the assets of the nationalized oil company of Libya as well as
the state-run central banking system… which is just
as much of a target of these globalists as the oil is. Probably more
actually.
“The
resolution establishes “a ban on all flights in the airspace of the
Libyan Arab Jamahiriya” while excluding an occupation force. It
also calls for freezing the assets of the Libyan National Oil Corp.
and the central bank because of links to Gadhafi.” MSNBC
(You see what I
did there, Juan Cole? I made claims and then supported those claims
with actual quotes and links to verify my sources. That’s called
“journalism” … Journ – al- ism… Starting to come back
to you? Good.)
It’s a classic
CIA/IMF
style destabilization campaign (for corporate and
banking interests of course) coupled as it usually is with
a complicit corporate MSM. Only this time, they’re
pulling out all the stops on the “progressive” or liberal left to
give the appearance of credibility to an obviously phony
“humanitarian action”. This makes it a unique action,
unique at least since the Clintons were given a free-hand to force
neoliberalization at gun-point in Kosovo and Bosnia. Nothing sells a
“humanitarian effort” like Slick Willy and friends.
Not only do we
have the usual fake left suspects singing the praises of this action
like Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman (they are both about as
“leftist” as Mussolini was) did on the senate floor just
before the Shock and Awe of Iraq, but today’s unwarranted
aggression also seems to enjoy the unquestioning seal of approval of
all those so-called anti-war/anti-imperialism stalwarts from the
alternative media who rightly exposed the blatant bullshit back in
2002-2003 when 935 lies (and at least one forged document) took us
into Iraq, eventually killing over a million of their civilians in
that “humanitarian action” which still drags on today. Mind you,
that one was also about oil AND control of Iraq’s central banking
system which was privatized almost immediately after the fall of
Baghdad.
As Blues
pointed out yesterday, the alternative media is just
becoming an alternative for the PR firms like Burson-Marstellar to
use to spread more of their propaganda and pro-war lies. She points
out that Juan Cole, “progressive” icon of the internet
alter-media machine, is putting together his own coalition of the
willing in an all out attempt to promote the pending illegal invasion
of Libya as the next best thing since carbon taxes, infinite
detention, and national ID cards for keeping the world safe for
democracy. Just so long as it keeps Obama’s agenda rolling, no
price is too high. Isn’t that right, Congressman
Kucinich?
Juan Cole in his
“Big
Ten List of Reasons Lord Obama is Justified in his Shock and Awe of
Libya” repeatedly uses unsupported claims of those
very same “atrocities” I mentioned earlier while citing no
references. He cites no references because he knows that everyone he
would try to quote, if checked, uses “unnamed sources” or “rebel
fighters” as their reference. That would be kind of like asking the
“kill team” to give us the official word on all their actions in
Afghanistan. And Juan knows it. If he had a legitimate source to pull
from, he would have. He’s a journalist, and usually a pretty
thorough one at that.
“6. No false
allegations were made against the Qaddafi regime, of being in league
with al-Qaeda or of having a nuclear weapons program. The charge is
massacre of peaceful civilian demonstrators and an actual promise to
commit more such massacres.” Juan
Cole
No false
allegations, except for that MAIN allegation which Juan offers no
supporting evidence for. Just takes it at face value, uncritically,
and EXPECTS the rest of the left to follow along.
But Juan is by
no means alone in his recent betrayal of not only his professional
standards but also his professed ideology. Amy Goodman is turning
about to be quite the imperialist cheerleader herself.
I saw a
video of her taking to another recent sell-out, the
guy who wrote the Blackwater book and then went on to spoon feed us
imperialist bullshit the ex-CIA thugs spoon-feed him (he admits that
on Democracy Now!, BTW)
“The last
thing I’ll say on this is that I’ve spent the past couple of
months talking to former CIA people, former Special Operations
people, former Defense Intelligence Agency people, who have all
worked on Yemen for many, many years. All of them say that al-Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula does not represent an existential threat to
the United States. There are one-off incidents like the underwear
bomber, Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was trained in Yemen. There
are connections with Anwar Awlaki and others who have committed
acts of terrorism. But we’re talking about three to five
hundred people that are on the ground there in Yemen…” Jeremy
Scaghill
During the video
interview, Amy and the “friend of the spooks” were talking about
the situation in Yemen and while “spook mouth-piece” was busy
interlacing clear facts about the brutal repression of the Yemeni
dictator with back-handed spook justifications (like al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula) and down playing both the natural resources angle
in Yemen (spook-boy said there isn’t much oil in Yemen but failed
to mention billions of dollars worth of LNG and a billion dollar
pipeline owned and operated by a Texas company) as well as the
horrific results of Obama’s first sortie of cruise missiles in that
country back in 2009 which killed 23 children.
While spook-boy
spun-up that bullshit, Amy was beside herself tossing out unsupported
claims of atrocities in Libya, for some damn reason, as if that had
anything to do with Yemen.
“We have to go
in one minute, but very quickly on the issue of the comparison of the
U.S. response to Libya and Yemen. It’s believed
thousands of people have been killed in Libya, not clear how many
have been killed in Yemen, but what about the U.S. response?” Amy
Goodman
Watching that
interview was like watching a republican convention in the lead-up to
the 2004 election. Like they were battling to see who could suck-up
to their naked emperor the most in 12 minutes. Almost like
they get paid bonuses for every spook talking point they hit. If you
think about it in terms of product placement in movies and tv shows,
you get the picture.
After reading
Juan Cole’s article and watching Amy and spook-boy duke it out for
the ”Karl Rove Supreme Lefty Justifier” award, I
am left feeling the need to wash the slime mold off my eyes and
roto-route my conscience.
There’s a
thick film of moderate bliss clouding my vision and making me feel
that everything is alright and all I need to do is support the agenda
of the president cus he must be just setting them up getting ready to
spring his trap. After all, he plays 3 dimensional chess while
they play with wooden blocks, think-tanks, tanks, fighter jets,
depleted uranium, soldiers lives, civilian’s lives, Tomahawk
missiles, central banking systems, worthless over the counter
derivatives, privatized state property, union busting, constitutional
assaults, rigged electronic voting systems, and renditioned
“terrorists” who need to “confess” to acts which justify the
next great neoliberal structural adjustment nationwide national
liquidation sale. Isn’t that how the story goes Congressman
Kucinich?
So why is it
that all of a sudden Amy Goodman and Juan Cole are in bed with Karl
Rove and Joe Lieberman in this repulsive 4-way of sweaty
bi-partisan spin-making? Why are both Goodman and Cole
forsaking their journalistic integrity and jumping bare-back into the
deceased pool of cross party inbreeding?
The answer is as
simple as it is frightening.
All across the
world, the
“virus” that John McCain referred to the other week
is breaking out and running wild just like Al Gore pretended H1N1 was
doing a year and a half ago so that his
stocks in his pharmaceutical company that held a
patent would sky-rocket him to the next level of elite status. The
difference is that this virus is real and poses a real time threat to
the status quo. The “virus” is democracy and the cure is violence
supported by bi-partisan bullshit.
“This virus
is spreading,” he said. “This, I would argue, is probably the
most dangerous period of history in… of our entire involvement
in the Middle East, at least in modern times. Israel is in danger of
being surrounded by countries that are against the very existence of
Israel, or governed by radical organizations.” Raw
Story
Amy Goodman
should change the name of her show to “Democracy Interuptus!”
From Madison to
Egypt, from Michigan to Greece, there is a shift taking place. People
are infected by the “enough” plague and the elites who see
themselves as the owners this planet are going into overdrive to stem
the tide of self-determination. “Stability” needs dictators. It’s
just that simple. There is no way with Egypt on one side and Tunisia
on the other that they would possibly allow Libya and her
loose-cannon ruler to remain between them like an anti-Western
wild-card threatening to lend support to real democracies. So “regime
change” in Libya has always been the plan once they lost their
efforts to keep Mubarak and Ben Ali in place.
Any discussion
about Libya in the alternative sphere that doesn’t address this
obvious fact is just plain propaganda and that goes for Juan Cole and
Amy Goodman and AOL’s HuffPuff and GE’s MSNBC alike. Arianna
knows it, Goodman knows it, Cole knows it. This is life in the
big-time alternative media world… it ain’t so alternative. They
got big business supporters and Ford Foundation grants to think
about. All that money Huffpuff got paid by AOL is just the sterling
example for folks like Cole and Goodman. Just look at how much
money got dumped into Democracy Now! over the past year or so. New
digs and per deum money to fly Amy and staff where-ever they need to
go to get that “big story” to the progressive consumers who hang
on her word like the gospel truth spewed over at Glenn Beck’s
“Blaze”. There’s no significant difference other than
costumes and hair styles.
The war on YOU
is about to go nuclear. The democracy disease is now airborne
and blowing across the Middle East and Europe and America faster than
STDs during Fleet Week.
If you’ve been
wondering why I have been making all these lewd sexual innuendos,
it’s because I am calling Amy Goodman, Juan Cole, and any other
alternative media icon who helps spread these putrid lies to justify
war, prostitutes. They are all prostitutes. What they are doing is as
old as the hills, it is nothing special, nothing admirable. They are
selling their integrity for a little attention and continued access
to a lifestyle they neither earned nor deserve.
As such, we need
to remember, we need to never forget what they reduced themselves to
when the shit hit the fan. And we should also remember that everyone
knows once you spread your legs for money, each and every time shit
gets tough in the future, it gets a little easier for them to assume
the position for their corporate pimps.
Things aren’t
going to get easier in this country and as long as the Obama Product
is the puppet in chief, we can all expect to see more of the
Goodman/Cole peep-show parading around as alternative viewpoints.
My only hope is
that eventually, just like the Tea Parties out-grew Glenn Beck and
his obvious bullshit, so too will the “progressives” outgrow
aging ho’s like Goodman and Cole who have so clearly and
embarrassingly exposed themselves.
Now, I gotta go
wash the sleaze from my eyes and run by the clinic for a check-up
before Huffpuff’s Andrew Brietbart pays O’Keefe to get it shut
down.
The times, they
are a changin’ folks. When you can’t tell the hookers from the
heroes, you got bigger problems than reelecting a fraud. As bad
as the prostitutes are, their loyal subscribers are no
better. Like a desperate man paying for the illusion of love and
telling himself it’s real, this can’t and won’t end well.
Better wake the fuck up now before your wallet’s gone and your
pissin fire and you spread your clap to the rest of your family on
the toilet seat. Because contrary to what John McCain and Hillary
Clinton would have you believe, the real disease ain’t democracy…
it’s the bullshit Amy and Juan are infected with.
