Why do they hate us?
Why are they upset at us for burning their Holy book?
Why would they be mad at us for pissing on their dead countrymen?
Why are they making a big deal about our soldiers collecting dead body parts?
Why? Why? Why?

Here’s the latest:



A lone American serviceman slipped away from his base in southern Afghanistan before dawn Sunday and went on a methodical house-to-house shooting spree in a nearby village, killing 16 people, nearly all of them women and children, according to Afghan officials who visited the scene.

I’m sure Rush Limbaugh, Pam Geller, Michelle Malkin and the other troop loving American patriots will have a handy excuse why this soldier lost it. “He was blowing off steam,” they’ll say. “He was reacting to the terrible violence he saw committed by the Taliban,” others will claim.

Of course the United States government will condemn the action, and claim that it is an isolated incident that does not reflect the high moral integrity of the U.S. military.

Bullshit!

While readers may rightly level contempt at the U.S. soldier who committed this atrocity, I would urge them to channel that anger towards the one’s who are truly responsible.

Last year, Der Spiegel published gruesome photographs showing American troops posing with the corpses of murdered and mutilated Afghan civilians. In the April, 11 2011 edition of American Free Press, I made this observation:

(Note: This is an unedited version from my own files)

In typical fashion, the U.S. government has distanced itself from the atrocities and laid the blame solely at the feet of the young men it trained to kill. The photographs depict “actions repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States Army”, said Army Col. Thomas Collins in an official statement from the Pentagon. “We apologize for the distress these photos cause.”

That statement is hauntingly reminiscent of so many others issued by the U.S. in the wake of similar tragedies. Following the Abu Ghraib scandal, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld offered up an almost identical apology when he appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee and said, “To those Iraqis who were mistreated by members of the U.S. Armed Forces, I offer my deepest apology. It was inconsistent with the values of our nation, it was inconsistent with the teachings of the military to the men and women of the armed forces, and it was certainly fundamentally un-American.”

Contrary to the claims made in these statements, such atrocities seem very consistent with the manner in which American troops conduct themselves in the foreign countries where they’ve been deployed. Aside from these latest incidents in Afghanistan and the well known atrocities that were carried out at Abu Ghraib—where prisoners were physically, psychologically and sexually tortured by their American captors—several other callous acts have been documented in recent years; suggesting that a sadistic culture of violence is epidemic within the ranks of our armed service personnel.

In 2007, U.S. soldiers aboard an Apache helicopter repeatedly opened fire on a group of unarmed civilians in Baghdad, leaving two men dead and several others severely injured, including two children. Leaked footage of the killings contained audio where the soldiers can be heard celebrating the deaths and laughing as a Bradley fighting vehicle runs over one of the dead. Then, in 2008, a Marine on patrol in Iraq was video taped throwing a puppy over a cliff while being cheered on by his fellow soldiers.

What is particularly disturbing about these acts is that they are not just carried out by one disturbed individual, but by groups of them, who all seem to share the same psychosis. This contradicts the claim by the U.S. that these are isolated incidents carried out by rogue elements. The only reason they appear isolated is because they have been made notorious by the video, audio and photographic evidence that has exposed them to the light of day.

Meanwhile, thousands more civilian deaths go unexplained. In Afghanistan alone, in excess of 2,700 civilians were killed in 2010—up 15% from 2009.

Many of these casualties cannot be blamed on young soldiers, but by the ruthless policies carried out under the direction of the highest-ranking military commanders. One of the most vicious and despised tactics currently employed by the U.S. are ‘night raids.’

Though the U.S. continues to fear-monger about the possible repercussions that the “Kill Team” photographs may spark, it is not likely to manifest itself inside Afghanistan. These people do not need photographs to remind them of the horrors of American occupation. They see these things with their own eyes, and the indelible image that it leaves on their minds.

US soldier kills up to 16 Afghan civilians in shooting spree

Nine children and three women dead in incident that president Hamid Karzai condemns as 'intentional murders'

US soldier kills up to 16 Afghan civilians in shooting spree


A US soldier has killed more than a dozen Afghan civilians, many of them women and children, in a night-time shooting spree in southern Afghanistan.

The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, condemned the shootings as "intentional murders" and demanded an explanation from the US.

The victims of the shootings, which left up to 16 civilians dead, included nine children and three women, Karzai's office said in a statement.

"This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven," Karzai said. He said he has repeatedly demanded the US stop killing Afghan civilians.

The White House said it was deeply concerned by initial reports of the incident and was monitoring the situation closely.

General John Allen, the top US commander in Afghanistan, issued a statement pledging a "rapid and thorough investigation" into the shooting spree, and said the soldier will remain in US custody.

Eleven members of one family who lived just a few hundred metres from the soldier's base in the Panjwai district of southern Kandahar province were killed when he broke into their compound after 3am and sprayed it with bullets, villager Ustad Abdul Halim said.

The father of the family, Wazir, and one child survived only because they were away from their home.

"Wazir and his young son were in Boldak district when it happened," Halim said by phone from the village, where survivors and government officials from nearby Kandahar city gathered to bury the dead.

The attacks took place in the villages of Balandi and Alkozai, and the US soldier went into three different houses and opened fire, Associated Press reported. The area is a former Taliban stronghold that has seen years of heavy fighting between insurgents and coalition forces.

It is not the first time US soldiers have intentionally killed Afghan civilians but the death toll is unprecedented for a single soldier. The soldier, who the Nato-led coalition said was arrested after the assault, appears to have made no attempt to cover up the shootings.

Allen, in his statement, offered his regret and "deepest condolences" to the Afghan people and vowed that he will make sure that "anyone who is found to have committed wrong-doing is held fully accountable".

"This deeply appalling incident in no way represents the values of [the International Security Assistance Force] and coalition troops or the abiding respect we feel for the Afghan people," said Allen. "Nor does it impugn or diminish the spirit of cooperation and partnership we have worked so hard to foster with the Afghan National Security Forces."

Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said that President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting incident. She said, "we are deeply concerned by the initial reports of this incident, and are monitoring the situation closely."

Anti-foreigner sentiment is already running high in Afghanistan after US troops burned copies of the Qur'an and sparked days of deadly protests. The burnings sparked violent protests and attacks that killed some 30 people. Six US service members have been killed in attacks by their Afghan colleagues since the Qur'an burnings came to light.

Sunday's killings risk rekindling that anger.

The coalition's deputy commander, Adrian Bradshaw, acknowledged there had been deaths, although he did not give a number.

"I cannot explain the motivation behind such callous acts, but they were in no way part of authorised ISAF military activity," he said in a statement. "An investigation is already under way and every effort will be made to establish the facts and hold anyone responsible to account."

Photographers at the burials saw the bodies of at least 15 bodies riddled with bullets. Halim put the death toll at 16, with others who were injured receiving treatment in a Nato military hospital.

Halim and another man from the village, Haji Satar Khan, said four people from the family of Fahed Jan, and one child from another family died in addition to the 11 members of Wazir's family.

The killings sparked a demonstration in the district, prompting the US embassy to warn residents and travellers in Kandahar to exercise caution.

The American military is no better than the German Nazi soldiers. Until the U.S. withdraws all American troops from foreign soil, and reinstates the Posse Comitatus Act into law for all branches of the military, I will consider the United States guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and murder.

The American people were hypnotized through trauma.

Everyone upwards from the local council, local government and all othes in bureaucracy need to be taken in the FEMA camps to be re-educated. The real criminals will never be released.

People who served in the army will get the help they need to re-cover and heal.

3/11-Afghans will never forget - "This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven," Karzai

Here comes the defining moment in Afghanistan’s infamous war ; 11 deadly years of violence that has jeopardized the entire region seems closer to a reverse-tide as US face a deadly situation post recent ‘Massacre’ by its rogue staff sergeant at the pre-dawn of 11th March. Sixteen Afghan Civilians including 9 children and women along with older men were killed being shot in the face at point-blank range; corpses were later burnt allegedly by some highly inflammable chemical. This crater for US forms very close to an already dark abyss where US policies fell last month after the burning of Holy Qur’an, resulting in deadly reprisals and anti-American sentiment taking strong hold in every nook and corner of Afghanistan.

The ‘rogue terrorist’ belonged to Lewis Mc-Chord which is considered as one of the largest American military installation in US with a horrendous reputation of violence, “The most troubled US base ever” as a military site “stars and stripes” calls it. Few of the soldiers deputed by this facility were involved in civilian killings in Afghanistan back in 2010. Four to Five soldiers were convicted of one of the most brutal charges where one of the convicted staff sergeant acknowledged cutting out fingers and tooth of the victim to keep them as war trophies. Suicide rates due to post-traumatic stress disorder are also high at this base which has largely been involved in violence both domestic and in war-theaters outside US. Recently 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division of this base sent about 2,500 soldiers to Afghanistan in December for a yearlong deployment. The brigade had deployed to Iraq three times since 2003; this is its first deployment to Afghanistan.

The alleged assassin was deputed with special-forces in Kandahar along Navy-Seals or Green Beret units for village stability missions for first time after his three ventures in Iraq as revealed by a US official on condition of anonymity to some media outlets. His precision in firing on the fore-heads of children flattens the assertions of ‘being drunk’ or having ‘mental ailments’ as no soldier is recruited after routine medical check-ups. As reported he later returned to the base and is being held by fellow authorities.

This brutality was carried out at the Alokozai village, in the Zangawat area of Panjwayi district near 3:00 AM when an alleged group of US Special force was out for the bloodiest of murders ever in the history of Afghanistan. According to live accounts and eye witnesses multiple weapon sounds were heard, including pistols and machine gun bursts simultaneously. The houses attacked are at least 2 miles apart and it becomes literally impossible for a single gunman to kill and burn people in one house and then run few kilometers to do the same thing again twice. Eleven dead belonged to a same family and nine of the victims were children, including infants found soaked in blood close to the bodies of their mothers. Afghan sources in Pajwayi claim to have photographs of half-burnt bodies of women and children as blood-spattered walls and floors have already been aired in the media.

Some local villagers have reported seeing two groups of soldiers. The Afghan defense ministry also believes in its initial assessment that there is a possibility of one or more soldiers being involved.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai also believes in the possibilities of more than one soldier as he quotes in his statement a 15-year old survivor ‘Rafiullah’ as telling him in a phone call that ‘soldiers’ raided the house and woke up his family members before shooting at them.
.
"This is an assassination, an intentional killing of innocent civilians and cannot be forgiven," Karzai said despite calls of condolences and shock from Obama, Pannetta and Jhon Allen.

Everything seems to be falling apart for US strategists as they claimed to have made significant progress in negotiations for a strategic Partnership Agreement allowing US Special Forces and advisers to stay in Afghanistan for an indefinite period in order to protect the region from falling into chaos once the combat foreign forces leave in 2014. The agreement has apparently been delayed after this attack which saw a detention center being handed over to Afghan authorities as its first phase or achievement.

That US military guy who just killed women and children at the Village recently is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance. Its baffling to think that experts have no idea how this happened or what this is about. They will look for some biological reason or mental illness. They wont be able to decide about the mental health diagnosis or the traumatic brain injury. They will debate and debate and debate, while the simple truth of how War mutates human behaviors goes unexamined, unconcerned and denied...

More than that Mag, humanity has an evil inside that actually doesn't mind killing. It's better than a video game and just as meaningful.

Some of humanity is under mass mind control. And where do you find the biggest population of mind controlled killers - the army. Ready to kill another for nothing. Nothing.

‘Several drunk troops behind bloodbath, laughed on shooting-spree, burned corpses’

REMEMBER - WHAT THE WITNESSES ARE SAYING -
SEVERAL DRUNK SOLDIERS CAME AND MURDERED CHILDREN, NOT ONE BUT SEVERAL. NOW WHAT LIES DO YOU THINK THEY WILL BE TELLING

HERE IS THE TRUE STORY -

Gruesome new details are surfacing after 16 Afghan villagers including nine children were shot in their houses by at least one US serviceman. Witnesses to the atrocity now say that several drunken American soldiers were involved.

­Neighbors at the village where the killings took place said they were awoken past midnight by crackling gunfire:

"They were all drunk and shooting all over the place," Reuters cites Agha Lala, a villager in Kandahar's Panjwayi district.

Lala's neighbor Haji Samad lost all of his 11 relatives in the rampage, including children and grandchildren. He claims Marines “poured chemicals over their dead bodies and burned them.”

Twenty-year-old Jan Agha says the gunfire “shook him out of bed.” He was in the epicenter of the horrible shooting, witnessing his father shot as the latter peered out of a window to see what was going on.

"The Americans stayed in our house for a while. I was very scared," the young man told reporters.

Lying on a floor, Agha says, he pretended to be dead.

He added that his brother was shot in his head and chest. His sister was killed as well. “My mother was shot in her eye and her face. She was unrecognizable,” he said.

The Afghan parliament said the incident was barbaric and demanded justice. Both NATO and US officials condemned the violence, promising a swift investigation.
­US ‘fundamental strategy’ in Afghanistan won’t change – Pentagon

­The Pentagon’s chief spokesman, George Little, said on Monday that there was "every indication" that the perpetrator, whose name he refused to disclose, had not been accompanied by any other soldiers. He also said that the mass killing would not change the “basic war strategy” in Afghanistan.

"Despite what some are saying, we’re not changing our fundamental strategy," Little said.

Also on Monday NATO reacted to the massacre of Afghan villagers, with spokeswoman Oana Lungescu saying the shooting was an "isolated incident." She emphasized it would not affect the timeline of the previously discussed withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

Earlier a preliminary official report said the unnamed culprit, identified as a member of the US army staff, had acted alone and is now in custody after turning himself in at an American base.

US troops in Afghanistan have been put on high alert as the Taliban has issued a threat vowing “to take revenge from the invaders and the savage murderers for every single martyr.”

The statement published on the group’s website said that the US is “arming lunatics in Afghanistan who turn their weapons against the defenseless Afghans.”

Afghan officials, fearing possible violent demonstrations, have deployed extra police and troops in and around Kandahar.

The incident was one of the worst of its kind since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. It comes just weeks after copies of the Koran were burned at a US military base, provoking mass riots in Afghanistan.
­Slaying of 16 Afghan civilians 'absolutely tragic and heartbreaking' – Barack Obama

­US President Barack Obama has said during an interview with Denver TV Station KCNC that the killing of 16 Afghan civilians by a US soldier was “absolutely tragic and heartbreaking” but also noted that he was “proud generally” of what US troops had accomplished in Afghanistan while working under strenuous conditions.

In another interview, this time with Orlando-based WFTV, the president reiterated his stance in favor of a pullout from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. He said the incident “does signal the importance of us transitioning in accordance with my plans that Afghans are taking more of the initiative in security.”

Asked whether the incident could be compared to the infamous 1968 My Lai Massacre, in which US troops murdered up to 500 civilians in South Vietnam, Obama responded by saying it was not comparable. “It appeared you had a lone gunman who acted on his own,” he noted.

US defense secretary Leon Panetta said that the death penalty was a possible punishment against the soldier who perpetrated the massacre. He noted that officials will use the military justice system to try the soldier and that the shootings must not derail the military mission in Afghanistan.

In the meantime, Reuters quoted an anonymous US official who said that the accused soldier had been treated for traumatic brain injury after being in a vehicle that rolled over in Iraq in 2010.

Mind control or not, when they come to carry out their depopulation games, they shall be among the depopulation numbers as well. I still consider myself to be a protector of America and will defend her against enemies foreign and domestic. The secret to meeting insanity is to become more insane than the opposition.

The foreign policies of the U.S. government are contrary to the best interests of Americans. The military operations of the U.S. government are illegal, unauthorized by Congress, and opposed by nearly all thinking Americans. There are U.S. military installations and soldiers in almost every country on the planet. Only one presidential candidate calls for the withdrawal of all U.S. military forces from foreign countries. Only one presidential candidate is being actively suppressed by the media, and it's the same one -- Ron Paul.

There is something very wrong with that picture, and something very evil as well.
