Why don't they just call themselves what they are?
The coverage in them is so blatantly biased and shitty, I am abandoning my plans.
I had been prepared to do memory holes of one year ago and marry them up with this year's news reports since the anniversary of this blog is two days away; however, the morning newspapers get worse and worse and worse.
I really can't stand it anymore.
I can give you four reasons today why I am tired of the propagandizing shit rags.
Reason One: It's the Times' propaganda middle today, and if this situation were applied to Jews it would be reported as a Holocaust.
But it is only Iraqis "migrating" because of the surge.
"the patterns suggest that despite the ethnic and sectarian animosity that has gripped the country, at least some Iraqis would rather continue to live in mixed communities.
Just last week within Baghdad itself, a Sunni tribe of 250 families that lived in Dora, one of the most violent neighborhoods, was forced to flee. Rather than going to an area where they would be with others of their sect, they went to their neighbors to the south, in Abu Dshir, a Shiite area. They were welcomed by the local tribe and given places to stay in people’s homes, according to field staff both for the Red Crescent and the International Organization for Migration, an intergovernmental agency."
Of course, the Zionist Times attributes the "ethnic cleansing" to "Al-CIA-Duh" in Mesopotamia and its "foreign leadership" -- which certainly must include Blackwaters, no?
Never mind covering up murderous slaughter and dirty tricks around the world, as well as their failed reporting (which they admit today, in couched and careful language).
"Iraqi Report Says Blackwater Guards Fired First" by SABRINA TAVERNISE and JAMES GLANZ
BAGHDAD, Sept. 18 — A preliminary Iraqi report on a shooting involving an American diplomatic motorcade said Tuesday that Blackwater security guards were not ambushed, as the company reported, but instead fired at a car when it did not heed a policeman’s call to stop, killing a couple and their infant.
The report, by the Ministry of Interior, was presented to the Iraqi cabinet and, though unverified, seemed to contradict an account offered by Blackwater USA that the guards were responding to gunfire by militants. The report said Blackwater helicopters had also fired. The Ministry of Defense said 20 Iraqis had been killed, a far higher number than had been reported before.
“There was not shooting against the convoy,” said Ali al-Dabbagh, the Iraqi government’s spokesman. “There was no fire from anyone in the square.”
American Embassy officials had said Monday that the Blackwater guards had been responding to a car bomb, but Mr. Dabbagh said the bomb was so far away that it could not possibly have been a reason for the convoy to begin shooting.
Instead, he said, the convoy had initiated the shooting when a car did not heed a police officer and moved into an intersection.
“The traffic policeman was trying to open the road for them,” he said. “It was a crowded square. But one small car did not stop. It was moving very slowly. They shot against the couple and their child. They started shooting randomly.”
In video shot shortly after the episode, the child appeared to have burned to the mother’s body after the car caught fire, according to an official who saw it.
In interviews on Tuesday, six Iraqis who had been in the area at the time of the shooting, including a man who was wounded and an Iraqi Army soldier who helped rescue people, offered roughly similar versions.
The Iraqi soldier, who said he was standing at a checkpoint on the edge of the square, said he thought the convoy believed the small car was a suicide bomber and opened fire. According to the wounded man, recuperating in Yarmouk Hospital, the car with the family was driving on the wrong side of the road.
[That's liberation, huh?
Getting blown away for DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE of the ROAD?
The MOMMY and BABY and DADDY were probably CONFUSED and LOST due to the "CONVOY!!!"
GOD-DAMN AMERIKA for this ABOMINABLE and ATROCIOUS WAR!!!!!]
The convoy began throwing nonlethal sound bombs, several witnesses said, to keep people in the area away. That drew fire from Iraqi Army soldiers manning watchtowers that are part of an Iraqi Army base on the square. Iraqi police officers, witnesses said, also appeared to be shooting.
The Iraqi soldier, who did not give his name but said he was from a company of Iraqi commandos, said he saw another soldier trying to motion to the convoy to move on, but he was shot as well.
The Iraqis’ accounts have not been verified, but the anger in their telling served to reinforce the feeling among Iraqis here that private security companies care little for Iraqi lives. In a war where perceptions are paramount, the effect is poisonous.
“They are more powerful than the government,” the Iraqi soldier said. “No one can try them. Where is the government in this?”
For Safaa Rabee, an engineer in Newcastle, England, whose 75-year-old father was shot dead while driving home from grocery shopping on Aug. 13 in Hilla in southern Iraq, the immunity was particularly galling. Mr. Rabee said his father had pulled over and waited as a convoy of sport utility vehicles zoomed past, lights and sirens flashing, a familiar routine for Iraqis, but when he pulled back out, guards in the last car of the convoy opened fire.
[MURDER! Pure and simple, no glossing over.
That's Bush's "liberation" and "success!"
OUTRIGHT MURDER!!!]
Mr. Rabee and his brother discussed it with the Hilla police chief, who said the convoy was an American diplomatic one from Najaf, another southern city, and also with a sympathetic American colonel, who offered small financial compensation.
The police chief said the security guards in the convoy were Blackwater, Mr. Rabee said, though he does not know for sure if that was the case.
“I said to him that I’ll follow the killer anywhere in the world, even in American law,” Mr. Rabee said by telephone from England. “He said: ‘I understand you are angry but you can’t do anything. They’re under our protection.’ I said, ‘Do you think that’s fair?’ ” For the family, Mr. Rabee said, the killing felt no different from that of Mr. Rabee’s brother, the owner of a fish farm, who was executed by militants just south of Baghdad in 2005. The family pursued the case against his father’s killers in court, but the case was closed.
In the clubby atmosphere of private security firms in Iraq, senior members of rival companies are often reluctant to criticize Blackwater.
But among the rank and file of security contractors, Blackwater guards are regularly ridiculed as cowboys who are relentlessly and pointlessly aggressive, carry excessive weaponry and do not appear to have top-of-the-line training.
Passing Blackwater convoys sometimes intimidates even Westerners, who fear coming under attack if they make a wrong move.
The Iraqi government said it had revoked Blackwater’s license. But it appeared that the company had not possessed one in many months, according to a security official in Baghdad, but had begun work on getting one in spring of 2007.
One private security official said Blackwater had been at odds with the Ministry of Interior over licensing, and drew more ill will when a guard killed a ministry bodyguard some time ago."
Reason Two: Not only is the ethnic cleansing and "surge success" described as a "migration," unless it's "Al-CIA-Duh," but Israel's strangling suffocation of Gaza just whithers trade.
What I find interesting is that the Times reporter knows all about the smuggling, and the time-consuming shit is right out in the open!
But somehow Israel and the world can't see it -- or they ALLOW IT to continue, for whatever nefarious reason.
Meanwhile, Hamas has supplied security and other things, but you would never know that from reading this backwards as, Zionist propaganda!
"Both the Karni crossing and the Rafah crossing for people, which sits between Gaza and Egypt, have been closed since mid-June, and there is little prospect, with Hamas in charge, that Israel will allow them to reopen. The stated reason is security, since Israel regards Hamas as a professed enemy and a terrorist group eager to expand its military expertise and power to the West Bank. Israel does not trust Hamas to operate the Palestinian side of Karni or Rafah, or to hire private companies, even Turkish ones, to do so.
Hamas has banned the carrying of weapons by anyone except its own forces and banned the firing of weapons, even at marriages and funerals.
Hamas’s near-monopoly on guns and ammunition... is destroying the less salubrious arms-smuggling business.
Hamas is working with the Egyptians to destroy unauthorized tunnels.... Egypt is clearing almost 1,000 feet of houses from the Egyptian side of Rafah, a city cut in two by the border.
When Israel cleared Palestinian houses in Rafah to stop smuggling tunnels, there was an international uproar and many demonstrations."
[When? Wasn't reported in my Zionist War Dailies, that's for sure!]
Reason Three: Not only are genocides carried out by USrael described as "migrations" and "choking off trade," but we get front-page fiction on the -- you guessed it, the only Holocaust that matters -- the alleged Jewish Holocaust.
And I love the in-article teaser turn-in: "Photos that show murderers as ordinary human beings."
Gee, that sounds like the Zionists shit rags that are delivered to my corner store, where I see pictures of Bush and Olmert and Cheney and Abbas.
All MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINALS!!
Oh, so the piece has nothing about actual factual evidence of Jews being killed, huh?
Just pictures of German SS' partying, huh?
Well, I'm sorry, world, but I've quit believing the lies of history, thanks to Iraq!
It NEVER CHANGES with these guys, whether it is false claims in the Ukraine (reburying the "bodies" before anyone could see them), Treblinka, and this!
And the whole basis of their state is a LIE!
Take a look at the electronically-scanned totals!
These "records" have been kept secret for FAR TOO LONG!!!
You would think the sufferers of this alleged Holocaust would WANT their stories out, not kept HIDDEN by GATEKEEPERS of a MYTH!!!!
Hey, if they HADN'T LIED about those events, I would STILL BELIEVE, so you guys WRECKED IT YOURSELVES, fuckers!!!
I didn't want to KNOW the TRUTH, either; however, after the LIES of 9/11, Iraq and HISTORY...
Reason Four: The Globe's editorial on the Israeli bombing of Syria is such a piece of shit, take a look in the toilet, reader:
"A strange air raid in Syria... September 19, 2007
NEAR DAWN on Sept. 6, the Israeli Air Force conducted a raid in northern Syria. It is still not clear what the Israelis hit or what they hoped to accomplish. What should be clear is that the lands from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf have become extraordinarily volatile, and there could hardly be a worse time for Syria to be provoking Israel or for Israel to be provoking Syria.
[What the hell did Syria do, and why they get first billing?]
The Syrians have given their version of the incident, making it appear the Israeli planes dropped "munitions," jettisoned a fuel tank, and were chased away by Syrian air-defense.
[WTF kind of editorial commentary is this?
Their "version" made it "appear" as such?]
Anonymous sources have told different stories to American and British papers. One is that the raid targeted a Syrian nuclear facility hosting North Korean technicians. Another says that a nuclear facility was hit three days after a North Korean vessel delivered a suspect cargo to a Syrian port. There have also been allegations that an Iranian arms shipment bound for the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon was the objective of the operation.
[Yup, repeat all three of Israel's lies?]
Whatever the truth turns out to be, the Bush administration ought to be exercising its leverage on both capitals to back them away from actions that could lead to the outbreak of another war in the region.
[Yeah, whatever the truth.
No calls of outrage over the violation of international law and airspace?
Hell, if the shoe were on the other foot, and Syria had bombed Israel, the U.N. Security Council would be in session and the Globe would be calling for regime change!]
Israel has kept uncharacteristically mum about this incident.
[Ha-ha-ha! Israel is always mum!
Good Lord, what shit editorializing!]
As the Syrians were giving their contorted explanations, as North Korea was denouncing an incident far from its shores, and as John Bolton, the hawkish former US ambassador to the United Nations, was calling the raid "a clear message to Iran," the Israeli government was imposing a rare embargo on information. Knesset committees were deprived of briefings from the government. The Israeli media were kept in the dark and subjected to military censorship. Israeli diplomats were instructed not to say anything about the operation.
[Pfffftttt! As if all this were SOMETHING NEW!!!]
One rationale for the Israeli government's silence may be that the raid delivered a message to Syria that does not need to be expanded upon.
[Yeah, Syria did get the message: ISRAELI AGGRESSION COMING SOON!]
Indeed, the floundering public responses by Syrian officials make it appear the regime of Bashar Assad does not want the world to know, or even speculate about, which target the Israeli planes were after. And North Korea's suspicious condemnation gives the impression that Pyongyang does have something at stake - if not nuclear materials or engineers, then perhaps missiles or some other military export.
[This is such garbage!
Yup, condemning Israel's illegal actions is suspicious!
Well, let's all bow down to the fucking shitstink state, shall we?!
FUCK THAT!!]
Regardless,
[Yeah, WHATEVER! Whatever for the truth!
What an ABSOLUTE SHIT "PAPER!!!"]
messages sent in the form of ordnance are more dangerous than the diplomatic variety. Syria and Israel are playing a game that could result in another war in Lebanon or a larger conflagration involving not only Syria and Israel but Iran as well. The United States needs to engage in hard-nosed, deal-making diplomacy, not only to end the war in Iraq but also to prevent new wars across a large arc of the Middle East and central Asia."
[Well, the White House want's another war, and Bolton just delivered the green light for an Israeli attack.
"Bolton: US Would Back Israeli Attack on Iran...
Former UN Ambassador John Bolton has declared the Bush administration would support an Israeli attack on Iran. In an interview with an Israeli newspaper, Bolton said: “We’re talking about a clear message to Iran -- Israel has the right to self-defense -- and that includes offensive operations against WMD facilities that pose a threat to Israel. The United States would justify such attacks.”
[So it will be off to war with Iran whenever Israel says so!
Happy to be feeding your sons and daughters into wars for Israel, Amurkns?
Then eat your war dead's corpses and drink their blood.
Think that's harsh, blogging world? Too bad!
Sorry, but I have no more compassion to give for people who support (by apathy and inaction) a mass-murdering nation and its lying shitstink state directors.
P.S. Because the Times is sinking so much because of their lies, they are no longer charging for Times Select pieces.
Doesn't bother me, anyway, because I never paid for any of their shit selects.
Who would want to pay to eat shit from Thom Freidman?
Not me, and I never would!
