George Galloway's investigation

 

 

Can you imagine this article getting published in the United States of

Bush? It needs to be circulated. Please?

 

 

Straight-shootin' George Galloway

" I am utterly against the punishing of innocent people for the crimes

of the guilty, whether it is done on the underground of London or the

streets of Falluja by George Bush's air force " .

--George Galloway MP

 

George Galloway is quite a guy.

 

His trip to the Middle East is causing a ruckus back in London, where

his criticism of Bush and Blair is appearing like a spread-sheet on

the front-page of the tabloids.

 

Congrats, George; those two deserve a good lambasting.

 

Yesterday he fired-off another barrage, landing a direct hit on Prime

Minister Milquetoast and his Texas-twin. He said, " There's far more

blood on the hands of George Bush and Tony Blair than there is on the

hands of the murderers who killed those people in London. "

 

Ka-boom! Right on target.

 

Galloway was stellar; praising the Iraqi resistance as " martyrs " and

telling them that they " are not just defending Iraq, but defending the

whole world against American hegemony. "

 

Bulls-eye.

 

Galloway's comments drew attention to the young men who are swarming

to Iraq to fight what he calls the " foreign invaders " . They're

normally disparaged by the pro-war crowd in the press like Tom

Friedman who calls them a " jihadist death-cult "

 

What rubbish. Friedman should skip the name-calling and try to figure

out who these guys really are. Men don't simply throw away their lives

for no reason. It is the injustice of the American occupation that has

the swollen the ranks of the Iraqi resistance.

 

Galloway knows that and so does Friedman when he's not shoveling

manure into the " paper of record " .

 

Imagine, for a moment, that the US was invaded by an army from Saudi

Arabia for the transparent purpose of securing America's great natural

wealth. And, imagine that tens of thousands of American people were

killed in that invasion, entire cities were leveled as reprisal for

resisting, and scores of Americans were tortured and humiliated in the

most despicable manner.

 

What type of man would risk his own life to travel to the United

States to fight for the liberation of the American people from Saudi

oppression?

 

A terrorist or a martyr?

 

Forget the media hype about suicide bombers targeting innocent Iraqis.

Communiqués from the resistance have repeatedly refuted those claims

saying they do not attack Iraqi civilians, only the occupiers and

their collaborators in the Iraqi security services.

 

Who're we going to believe; the Pentagon?

 

Galloway nailed it when he said, " These poor Iraqis, ragged people

with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest most

basic weapons-are writing the names of their cities and towns in the

stars, with 145 military operations every day which has made the

country ungovernable. " Game; Set; Match.

 

Galloway can expect to be roundly throttled for his remarks, but the

truth is out and can't be undone. The Iraqi resistance is the

frontlines in the war against American global domination. They're

doing the fighting in the trenches while Americans continue to stumble

around in their perpetual state of amnesia.

 

Can't Americans see their civil liberties being methodically savaged

by Bush's rubber-stamp Congress? Will it take a decree of martial law

to wake them up to this " gathering threat " emerging from the Bush

White House? We should applaud Galloway's willingness to state the

obvious; that the men who have taken up arms in Iraq are engaged in a

life-or-death struggle against a neo-liberal cancer that is menacing

the entire world.

 

Those who doubt what I say should consider Blair's news conference

yesterday, where he rattled-off a whole new list of repressive

measures to be directed at Muslims. Mimicking his Crawford mentor,

Blair has decided that he has the right to unilaterally make law from

his perch at 10 Downing St. without the consent of Parliament. The

fatuous PM now claims the power to close down mosques, deport,

clerics and shut down web sites where the views don't meet the dubious

standards of the state. Additionally, Israeli trained police-units

have been deployed on London's streets with orders to " shoot to kill "

terror suspects (or fleeing Brazilians) if there is a perceived risk

to public safety.

 

Who gave this unctuous, lying politician the right to declare martial

law on Muslims?

 

Who gave this foppish phony the license to issue Nazi-type edicts that

eviscerate basic civil liberties?

 

The British people would be foolish to let the wildly-unpopular Blair

get away with this monumental power-grab.

 

85% of the British people already agree that the London bombings were

the direct result of Blair's involvement in Iraq. Similarly, every

terrorist-expert on the planet; including analysts at M15, the CIA,

and the Israeli Mossad, have supported that very same conclusion. So,

why should the victims of Blair's bungled aggression be the same one's

who are collectively punished?

 

It's Blair who should be manacled and led away to the stocks, not the

Muslims who already are suffering the blowback from his apocryphal war

on terror.

 

No one in their right mind believes that Blair conjured up these new

restrictions. His job is to simply recite his lines for the

teleprompter and make sure his eye-shadow and silk-shirt are in order.

 

It's the big-money elites behind Blair that have their sights on

personal liberty, just as they do in America and Australia.

(Australia's Howard is trying to enact similar legislation right now)

These are the 3 stooges of the international corporate-banking cabal;

the tawdry courtesans of the global

parasite-class.

 

Just listen to Zbigniew Brzezinski, founder of the Trilateral

Commission, former board-member of the Council on Foreign Relations,

former Co-Chair of the Bush National Security Task Force, and

all-around foot-soldier for American elites. Brzezinski is

comfortably lodged at the very center of an elite cadre of nutcases

who have been pushing for the New World Order (One world government)

for over 20 years. His comments reflect the prevailing views of the

main actors in the Bush-Blair-Howard governments.

 

" It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be

autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially

its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist

democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power

is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a

sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic

well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and

the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers)

required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts.

Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization. " ( " The Grand

Chessboard; p.35)

 

" Too democratic " ? " Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization. " ?

Brzezinski hates democracy every bit as much as the men who back

Blair. They've concluded that they can pretty well dispose of personal

liberty in a few years by taking advantage terrorist attacks,

exploiting public hysteria, and crafting a media narrative that

supports the crushing of individual freedom. That's why we should take

these new anti-Islam laws for what they really are; a forerunner to

the repressive measures that will be applied to everyone without

discrimination in the very near future.

 

Can anyone seriously doubt this after seeing the pattern of the last 5

years?

 

That's why we need guys like Galloway who'll stand up and take a few

hardy swings at the scoundrels in power. His words put a little steel

in everyone's spine; and we're going to need it, too. There's plenty

of bad road ahead.
