Democrats Cover Up Bush Era War Crimes
Global Research, November 18, 2008
George Washington Blog - 2008-11-17
The Associated Press writes:
"Two Obama advisers said there's little—if any—chance that the incoming president's Justice Department will go after anyone involved in authorizing or carrying out interrogations that provoked worldwide outrage."
And when Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy was asked if Bush officials could face war crimes, he responded:
"In the United States, no. These things are not going to happen."
This is not entirely surprising, given that Democratic congress members Nancy Pelosi, Jane Harman and John D. Rockefeller were secretly briefed on torture many, many years ago, and yet did nothing to stop those unlawful programs. Indeed, they egged the torturers on (the linked Washington Post article says "no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder").
Remember, those who authorize or cover up war crimes are themselves guilty of war crimes. The Democratic leadership thus has every incentive to cover up war crimes.
The fix is already in. Only massive pressure on the government can force war crimes trials.

The only good news is that those warmongers may be prosecuted--like ex-Chilean despot Pinochet--overseas. Last year U.S. Sec'y of War Donald 'Rumps-svelte' had to hightail it out of France when human rights activists pressed the government there to detain him in order to face war crime charges. Those mad C.O.W.s(Coalition of Oilers & Warmongers)may hide, but they WILL be made to run for the rest of their wretched retirement days.

The deeper the US sink into financial and economic abyss,
the easier it will get to put all the blame onto the Bush
administration war criminals.
Sooner or later the Democrats will resort to this way out,
especially when their economic reanimation programs do
not succeed as expected.
Thus, there are tough times ahead for the Bushies anyway.

in the democrats' eventual willingness to blame or prosecute Bush for war crimes. It's like Olmert blaming Sharon for the mass murder of Palestinians.
When the economic meltdown is in full play (early summer?) US people will not concern themselves with murdered Iraqis or Afghanis. They'll be screaming for jobs and food and shelter and blame the incumbent, Obama, ... who btw appears to be taking pains to bringing as many familiar faces as possible into his new administration... even from the republican side. It's smart politics .. because this way he won't be the sole target of the sheeples' outrage.

of the fact that democrats and republicans are the same pigs with different lipstick and that their government is morally inferior to any other government on the earth ... they would be busy and vocal about bringing change and organizing alternate political parties RIGHT NOW. But, from now on forward, we'll hear very little about Nader or Ron Paul or whoever anymore ... until about a year before the next big election. And then everybody will say "but don't vote for one of these alternate guys because then the evil "demcrat/republican" candidate will get (re)elected. SOS.
I'm hoping that one of Obama's big Jews (like Rahm E.) fucks up in a big way ... so big that even the dumbest US asshole citizen can not avert his eyes. Then the zionist stranglehold will crumble and then all the Jewish and non Jewish US warmongering politicians in both parties will be floated out to sea and maybe then something better will at least replace this ridiculous two party system.

For obvious reasons, they are deliberately censored by mainstream medias much like the Torah Jews who opposed Zionists and the existence of IsraHell. What is currently happening in United States are some of them buy more weapons and survival stuffs as if they felt police state is already implemented.

I was truly expecting Obama to establish a war crimes tribunal soon after he appointed Ron Paul as his Treasury Secretary following his "Palestinian right of return" declaration.

I'm not doubting or ignoring the suppression. I'm just frustrated that relatively few people in US are so unaware. If more people saw through the whole sham (two party; predatory foreign policy, zionism etc) then all the suppression in the world wouldn't impede change.
Just today I met a neighbor at the mailbox .. a smart man, retired ... really upset with the financial statements he'd picked up from his box. And after complaining about the economy, he says "but things will improve by next year ... I read the WSJ and that's the ONLY paper that tells the truth." Sigh. The ignorance here is so deep, and present in ALL walks of life ... and with it comes that US-style blindness to reality.
If some groups are stocking up on weapons as you said, I hope they use them for more than to defend themselves. I couldn't shoot anyone, I rather move out of the country but I hope some people will kill for change. The whole world would benefit.

Of course, I meant to type that "relatively few people in US are aware "
Sorry.

Seems like an oxymoron, doesn't it? "Deep ignorance." It's true.
The Amerikan self-concept, or self-image, can be likened to that of a man who sleeps on the sidewalk and digs through dumpsters for food while proclaiming himself to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, or the reincarnation of Napolean. "A very sick man" is what we would think.
I don't see Amerikans as victims of media manipulation. I see Amerikan media as the mirror-projection of Amerikan delusions of grandeur. It supports and upholds the Amerikan "savior of the world" self-image.

if Bush and Cheney are indicted in the US for war crimes. A sacrificial lamb kind of scenario would be a perfect "circus"-type distraction for the US sheep.

who starts a relationship with a Jewish woman, then catches a veneral disease; meets her father, and catches Ghetto Jew Tuberculosis; meets her mother and gets propositioned in secret; then they all pack up and move into the American's house where they steal out the backdoor and resell the American through the front door his own property. The Jew diseases and Jew caused headaches eventually causes him to leave or burn down his dwelling.

LOL That was perfect. Bullseye! And it could all be amusing if only these people were fictional. But they're real and they own the most and biggest weapons on the planet...

"I don't see Amerikans as victims of media manipulation. I see Amerikan media as the mirror-projection of Amerikan delusions of grandeur. It supports and upholds the Amerikan "savior of the world" self-image."
It’s a good point you make and a really compelling question in my opinion.
To me this question is almost like the "Chicken and the egg"; the downward spiral of the west ( I say west because this effect is not exclusive to the USA), I think about this a lot, what caused this?
Was this the result of one single incident or many little incidents?
Is it a self inflicted wound or is it manipulation by a third party?
I have some indicators I worked out that may tell me some partial answers to these questions because all and any information (even disinformation) always tells a story.
It is a Very hard question to answer, the answer is invariably probably a mix of all of these things, but nevertheless this is a very important Question to answer because we of course are talking about the real time witnessing of the possible collapse of a whole civilisation.
We may argue as to why past civilisations have failed but we surely need to first as a priority try to recognize why our own (if you’re a “westerner”) has become a failure especially when it is happening.

"In the United States, no. These things are not going to happen."
It just needs to happen in one little independant country like Luxumbourg for the whole wrold to indict these criminals.

Moscow seeks UN help to root out racism
ht tp://www.russiatoday.com/news/news/33460
The UN General Assembly's Third Committee has adopted a Russian initiative to draft a resolution on the inadmissibility of certain practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
_-----
Not at all an easy subject for some to talk about, but this is a terrible situation and ain my opinion a wind back to the old tit for tat days.
now having said that, I’m very happy that Nazi Germany lost the war as I’m sure Many are and open racism and violence can generally be associated with lower education and those people we refer to to as just "Idiots".
But,
where does such a law, such a UN law take a country? all war crimes are terrible and if one has to accept that the winner writes the history will we have EU states banning open support for past Communist leaders?
What my opinion on such things; where does it end?
just as with an "Internet filter" What is legal and illegal? what is Terrorism who decides?
Who decides what "Racism" is?
why walk down a path of Censoring thought?
censoring thought and opinion doesn’t stop thought and opinion if a government disagrees with an opinion why not counter it with open argument?
Many older Australians WWII vets have a deep dislike for Japanese that seems to well up every anniversary (with the help of our media) we don’t' ban Japanese support here (yet) we don't ban Japanese War symbols (that i know of yet).
what is happening to the world?
The Question I think every nation around the world has to ask is:
“Are we confident enough of our position right now to NOT censor our citizens?”
It seems not many are right now.
Say what you like about the US but their Constitution (what's left of it) insures this right to US citizens, and it has been to the general benefit of theses citizens, because it has been proven that nations that censor thought censor idea’s.
P.S for all the idiots that are going to try to twist the story into a "Race" or "Nazi " issue don't bother, you are boring this is about censorship, and where the line gets drawn.

Friends close enemies closer?
aren't laws like this just an extension of the old wedge between EU and Russia?
can't people just agree that people that espouse idiot views are idiots? If we are scared enough of idiots, that we have to make their views illegal then maybe our nations really are at risk of this whole terrorism thing?
Maybe, at any time; we all do run the risk that at any moment!, the "Islamic’s" will raise their flag over our Parliaments and declare Marshal "Islamic law" !?
maybe we should be buying into this terrorism thing if our nations are so weak?
Buy a gun Protect your self from the Terrorist under the Bed! the world is looking crazier and crazier.

Well, I think the end of the West is a cosmic consideration. The universe is governed by laws. One of those is the law of justice.
If a human being chooses to lie, cheat and steal throughout his or her life, eventually there are consequences to suffer for those actions.
Western civilization has sown a great deal of death and misery upon planet Earth and for that we will reap our reward.

Sadly I have to agree, sure, i could delude myself into thinking that well it is all worth it because the west has given so much to the world, and taken so much away.
but then we have to really define what the West is I have always included Russia into the "west" myself, as anyone with a little grasp of history would know that this is the case, the cold war was a Deception as was most of our major wars, Russia Fell under the foreign dictatorships just as many other countries have.
i wouldn't agree the "West" is exclusively destructive it hasn't always been like this, and it won't always be in the future...
your alternatives are China… at the moment with all due respect this is a country that lines people up against walls and shoots them, (something for us to look forward to) now Australia has a similar Internet Laws coming into place.
I'm sure some people just LOVE the Chinese system, and as far as I’m concerned China for China, but this sort of system for the world would not work ever.
But then having said that our counties had similar laws in the past maybe our move forward can just be put down to luck, and we can argue we are quickly slipping back into the devolution of backwardness.
I guess we all should wait for our doors to be kicked down and to be executed without trial not before our organs are harvested for some rich elite.

about who am I.
Like CSR merk and others.
So it is only fair to give you an answer.
And so here is my confession:
I am nobody, but a peasant girl in the early spring.
I am also a peasant girl in the late spring.
And maybe I am also a peasant girl in the summer.
And I also love to be a peasant girl in the autumn.
I am definitely not a peasant girl in the winter.

To-day do I bake, to-morrow I brew,
The day after that the queen's child comes in;
And oh! I am glad that nobody knew
That the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin!
And we all know how Rumpelstiltskin ended up :>

Yeah, I would include Russia as a part of the "West". Industry, Judeo-Christianity etc. Much the same cultural parameters. But I don't see the same neurotic drive towards superiority in Russia, as exists in the US/UK/IS. Not at all.
Now, when you say "your alternative is China", alternative to what? Singular dominance by one particular people and their attendant culture? The alternative is a world characterized by mutual cooperation and respect. The West has spent a tremendous amount of energy crushing any kind of alternative before it even has a chance to develop. China spent a good 150 years under Western rule. Attacked for trying to prevent its citizens from becoming opium addicts. "Chinese and dogs not allowed" is what the signs read.
Having said that, I think China's leadership is currently characterized by the same kind of neurosis. Being the most or the first or the biggest or the best is the only thing that matters, though they are not nearly as duplicitous or as treacherous in their methods.
I sense that the world will experience great destruction in the near future. There will be some survivors up in some mountains somewhere and the world can then go through a period of healing and eventual renewal.

The reason why the Democrats are covering up "Bush era war crimes" is because they are NOT just Bush's crimes alone--contrary to what Anglo-American apologists would have you believe.
The entire American system is partner and guilty to these crimes--including but not limited to the American regime, media, think-tanks, etc.
The AngloNazi nations like the USA, Britain, Australia, Canada, Israel etc are increasingly fearful that their propaganda about "Freedom and Democracy" is being shredded as the blood-drenched lies that they have ALWAYS BEEN. All of these nations are, after all, White Colonizer societies at their core.
That is why these snakes are lashing out not only militarily but ideologically against any and all peoples, nations, or groups that even slightly oppose their fraudulent system of (spit) Anglo Liberal Democracy.

In fact the regime continues, with just a change of front men.
Elections are merely safety valves to keep the masses docile.
