Madeline Albright 'gegrild' over illegale interventies en sancties van de VS

Afgelopen woensdag werd Madeline Albright', minister BuZa en oorlogsmisdadiger onder Clinton 'op de gril gelegd' door Ilan Omar, een democratisch vertegenwoordiger* in het lagerhuis van Minnesota, een vrouw die de laatste tijd volkomen terecht en opvallend luid aan de weg timmert.

Onderwerp van gesprek, zoals je al uit de kop begrepen had, waren en zijn de sancties die de VS andere landen oplegde/oplegt en de militaire interventies (lees: illegale oorlogen) die de VS keer op keer voert (en dat tegen landen waar de VS niets te zoeken heeft, Ap)

Wat betreft de illegale oorlogen zei Albright over Afghanistan dat de VS dat land aanviel omdat daar de kapers van 9/11 vandaan kwamen >> dit is een pertinente leugen: het overgrote deel van de kapers kwam uit Saoedi-Arabië, waarmee de VS nog steeds goed bevriend is en dat het zelfs steunt bij de genocide die dit land samen met andere terreurstaten uitoefent in Jemen...... Over 9/11 gesproken: het land dat het meest baat had bij die aanslagen was de VS zelf en meer gespecificeerd, het militair-industrieel complex en de geheime diensten van de VS....

Ook de illegale oorlog van de VS tegen Libië was volgens Albright gerechtigd, Khadaffi zou een bloedige dictator zou geweest**, terwijl de bevolking onder zijn bewind in welstand leefde: zo goed als gratis huisvesting, scholing voor jongens en meisjes, waar studenten (mannen en vrouwen) zelfs in het buitenland mochten studeren op kosten van de regering, waar ook de huisvesting en leefgeld voor die studenten werden betaald! Of wat dacht je van de gratis medische zorg en bijna gratis energielevering...... 

Libië, het eens rijkste land van Afrika is verworden tot bijna het armste en het ontbreekt de bevolking nu aan alles, meisjes mogen niet meer naar school en het volk leeft in grote chaos, een land waar nu openlijk slavenmarkten worden gehouden...... Nee, echt een succes Albright, die illegale oorlog!!!

Ondanks dat sancties vooral het gewone volk treffen, durfde Albright een aantal jaren geleden in het tv programma 60 Minutes tegen presentator Lesley Stahl te zeggen dat ze nog steeds achter de sancties stond die ze Irak onder Saddam Hoessein oplegde en waardoor 500.000 Iraakse kinderen omkwamen...... De dood van die half miljoen kinderen, zo stelde Albright, waren zelfs met terugwerkende kracht nog steeds de moeite waard....... Dit terwijl het niets veranderde aan de Iraakse situatie destijds........

Albright staat nog steeds achter het sanctieapparaat (in feite chantage en zoals destijds in Irak zelfs massamoord) dat de VS in feite illegaal gebruikt tegen haar onwelgevallige landen...... Albright schijnt godbetert nog steeds les te geven en daar onderwijst ze ook sancties en de zin daarvan.... 

Jammer dat Omar niet begon over de 500.000 kinderen die in Irak omkwamen..... Al moet ik zeggen dat het me meevalt dat de gitzwarte kwaadaardige trol Albright nu zegt dat de sancties die heden ten dage worden opgelegd, alleen opgelegd mogen worden als ze de gewone bevolking niet treffen, waarmee ze haar eerdere verdediging van de sancties tegen Irak in feite heeft herroepen......

Dit nog naast het feit dat de VS, zoals gezegd, alleen landen 'aanvalt' met sancties als de regering van dat land niet de hielen van de VS likt, als dit namelijk wel het geval is, maakt het de VS niet uit hoe vaak mensenrechten worden geschonden of zelfs massamoorden worden gepleegd..... Zie nogmaals de verhouding van de VS met landen als Saoedi-Arabië, Israël, Egypte, Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazilië en ga nog maar een half uur door.....

Ilhan Omar Questions Madeline Albright on Failures of US Military Intervention and Sanctions

"As someone who understands the horrors of war firsthand," noted Minnesota Democrat, "I worry when we fail to consider the human toll of war and our moral responsibility to the people of these countries."

(CD) — While much of the country was watching the testimony of Michael Cohen on Wednesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was questioning former Secretary of State Madeline Albright in a separate, largely vacant hearing room about sanctions and the pitfalls of past U.S. military interventions.

“Some scholars and practitioners of foreign policy have questioned whether sanctions are effective in changing the behavior of certain governments,” Omar said, pointing out that economic sanctions can have dire effects on the innocent populations of targeted countries.

Albright, who once infamously told 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl that the deaths of half-a-million Iraqi children due to sanctions were “worth it” to get rid of then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, said sanctions still have a role to play in American foreign policy.

Sanctions should be understood as a foreign policy tactic between diplomacy and force, explained Albright.

“We have learned a lot about sanctions,” said Albright. “We learned that comprehensive sanctions, which we did in Iraq, hurt the people, and we began to look at targeted or smart sanctions.”

Omar and Albright’s exchange came during a hearing (pdf) in the House Foreign Affairs Committee Wednesday entitled “The Trump Administration’s Foreign Policy: A Mid-Term Assessment.” Albright was on hand to discuss the administration’s priorities and didn’t hold back in her assessment of the first two years of the Trump doctrine.

“The administration’s record is marked by confusion, inconsistency, a lack of diplomacy, and, in some cases, a complete abdication of responsibility,” Albright said in her testimony, who added that the State Department’s funding and staffing woes were adding to a loss of U.S. standing in the world.

Newly-elected to the House, Omar joined The Intercept‘s Medhi Hassan this week to discuss her first two months in office. Listen to the podcast here.

De VS bombardeert landen in het Midden-Oosten >> Europa krijgt de vluchtelingen

Eric Zuesse heeft een artikel geplaatst op de Strategic Culture Foundation, waarin hij ten overvloede (maar volkomen terecht) stelt dat de VS, met hulp van NAVO lidstaten Groot-Brittannië en Frankrijk, dood en verderf zaait in landen waar het niets te zoeken heeft...... (landen in het Midden-Oosten, waar ik in dit geval ook Libië en Afghanistan toe reken) Door deze grootschalige terreur zijn enorme stromen vluchtelingen op gang gekomen, vluchtelingen die hun heil zoeken in Europa en dan m.n. in de EU, niet alleen omdat dit de meest dichtstbijzijnde plek is waar men de oorlog definitief achter zich kan laten, maar ook omdat de VS botweg weigert vluchtelingen uit het Midden-Oosten op te nemen..... Dit was overigens in iets mindere mate al zo onder de Obama regering.....

Zuesse wijst op de leugens die het westerse publiek (inclusief het Nederlandse) dagelijks op haar bord geserveerd krijgt, zoals de leugens dat landen als Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië, een gevaar vormen voor hun veiligheid...... Een leugen zo doortrapt, dat ze zelfs een volkomen omdraaiing van feiten is, immers de grootschalige westerse terreur in het Midden-Oosten zorgt juist voor terreur op de straten van vooral de EU.......

De hiervoor genoemde landen, vier landen kunnen zelfs amper worden gezien als een gevaar voor de hen omringende landen, waar alleen Irak als agressor kan worden aangewezen, dan wijs ik vooral op de oorlog van Irak tegen Iran in de 80er jaren, waar deze vooral de VS goed uitkwam, sterker nog: de VS heeft destijds Saddam Hoessein opgejut Iran aan te vallen..... 

Nederland onderhield ook goede banden met Saddam Hoessein, zo kon VVD plork Bolkestein een exportvergunning afgeven voor de levering van onderdelen tot het bereiden van gifgas, iets waarvoor hij destijds uit en te na werd gewaarschuwd door deskundigen, daarmee is deze Bolkestein een enorme oorlogsmisdadiger!

Lees dit uitstekende artikel waarin Zuesse gedetailleerd uitlegt hoe VS bemoeienissen hebben geleid tot de dood van alleen deze eeuw al ruim meer dan 2 miljoen slachtoffers, die in feite werden vermoord door de VS, met hulp van een aantal NAVO landen, waaronder Nederland..... (waar niet vergeten dient te worden dat de NAVO een speeltje is van de VS, zo liet het beest Trump de afgelopen dagen nog eens fijntjes zien tijdens de NAVO top in Brussel.....)

America Bombs, Europe Gets the Refugees. That’s Evil

ERIC ZUESSE | 09.07.2018 | WORLD / EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST

The US Government (with France and a few other US allies) bombs Libya, Syria, etc.; and the US regime refuses to accept any of the resulting refugees — the burdens from which are now breaking the EU, and the EU is sinking in economic competition against America’s international corporations. America’s corporations remain blithely unscathed by not only the refugees that are breaking up the EU, but also by the EU’s economic sanctions against Russia, Iran, and other allies of governments that the US regime is trying to overthrow in its constant invasions and coups. The US Government makes proclamations such as “Assad must go!” — but by what right is the US Government involved, at all, in determining whom the leaders in Syria will be? Syria never invaded the US In fact, Syria never invaded anywhere (except, maybe, Israel, in order to respond against Israel’s invasions). Furthermore, all polling, even by Western pollsters, shows that Bashar al-Assad would easily win any free and fair election in Syria. The US Government claims to support democracy, but it does the exact opposite whenever they want to get rid of a Government that is determined to protect that nation’s sovereignty over its own national territory, instead of to yield it to the US regime, or to any other foreigners. The US regime has virtually destroyed the United Nations.

The US regime even refuses to provide restitution to Syria for its bombings, and for its arming and training of the jihadists — the fundamentalist Sunni mercenaries recruited from around the world — who are the US regime's "boots on the ground" trying to overthrow Syria’s Government. Al Qaeda has led the dozens of jihadist groups that have served as the US regime’s “boots on the ground” to overthrow Assad, but Al Qaeda is good enough to serve the purpose, in the US regime’s view of things. The US regime says that there will be no restitution to Syria unless Syria accepts being ruled by ‘rebels’ whose leadership is actually being chosen by the US regime’s chief ally, the fundamentalist-Sunni Saud family, who already own Saudi Arabia, and who (along with the CIA) have been unsuccessfully trying, ever since 1949, to take over the committedly secular, non-sectarian, nation of Syria. In fact, the CIA perpetrated two of the three Syrian coups that were carried out in 1949. 

The US regime, and its allies, have used the Muslim Brotherhood, in order to recruit into Syria the 100,000+ jihadists from around the world to fight to overthrow Syria’s secular Government. Even the BBC’s 13 December 2013 detailed report, “Guide to the Syrian rebels”, made clear that the “Syrian Rebels” were, in fact, overwhelmingly jihadist and largely recruited from abroad. These were hardly democrats. Even a Tony-Blair-founded anti-Assad NGO’s study concluded that “Sixty per cent of major Syrian rebel groups are Islamist extremists” (not just “Islamists” but “Islamist extremists”) and yet the Blair outfit still supported the overthrow of the committed secularist Assad (just as Blair had earlier participated himself in the US regime’s destruction of Iraq). 

The fundamentalist-Sunni royal Thani family own Qatar and have been the top international funders of the Muslim Brotherhood, just as the fundamentalist-Sunni royal Saud family, who own Saudi Arabia, have been the top funders of Al Qaeda. The main difference between the Sauds and the Thanis has been that whereas the Sauds hate Shia (and that means especially Iran), the Thanis don’t. Thus, for the Sauds, this is a war against the Shia center, Iran, and not only against Syria. This war against Syria was a coordinated US-Saud-Thani operation, in which the fundamentalist-Sunni group, Al Qaeda, provided the leadership but the (pan-Islamic) fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood provided the largest recruiting website. This entire hyper-aggressive operation was internationally coordinated. The Obama Administration started planning this operation, under Hillary Clinton, in 2010. As even the neoconservative (i.e., US-empire advocating) Washington Post reported, on 17 April 2011, from Wikileaks, "It is unclear whether the State Department is still funding Syrian opposition groups, but the cables indicate money was set aside [by the Obama Administration] at least through September 2010." That article mentioned only “former members of the Muslim Brotherhood,” not the Muslim Brotherhood itself; and no mention was made in it to Al Qaeda, in any form. 

Then, in 2013, the neoconservative Foreign Policy magazine headlined “How the Muslim Brotherhood Hijacked Syria’s Revolution” and was oblivious regarding the neoconservative Obama Administration’s having planned that “hijacking,” starting in 2010 (but going back even as far as Obama’s inauguration; this operation was a key part of his secret anti-Russia agenda, which preceded even his coming into office). But if Obama wasn’t neocon-enough to suit that magazine’s editors, then Trump certainly should be, because Trump continues Obama’s foreign policies but with an even more hostile thrust against the Sauds’ chief target, which is Iran. Above all, the US alliance’s goal has been for the Saud family’s selected (rabidly anti-Shiite) people to take over and run the Syrian Government. As Global Security has phrased this matter, “The High Negotiations Committee [which is the group who are negotiating against Assad’s government at the US-sponsored ‘peace’ talks] is a Saudi-backed coalition of Syrian opposition groups. The High Negotiations Committee (HNC) was created in Saudi Arabia in December 2015.” 

So, this war in Syria has actually been the Sauds’ war to take over Syria. And it actually started in 1949, but the US-backed Muslim-Brotherhood-led “Arab Spring” in 2011 gave the US and its allies the opportunity to culminate it, finally. 

And Europe receives the fall-out from it. This fall-out has been hurting European corporations, in international competition against US corporations. It’s not only political.

The US regime has continued this thrust, under Obama’s successor. US President Donald Trump demands European corporations to end their business with Shiite Iran (which the Saud family is determined to take over), and to end their business with Russia, which America’s own billionaires themselves are determined to take over, just like the Sauds are determined to take over both Syria and Iran.

And Europe receives refugees not only from places where the US and some of its NATO allies have recently been bombing, but even from Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places where NATO has bombed in the past, and even from Ukraine, where the US regime perpetrated a bloody coup in February 2014, followed there by an ethnic-cleansing campaign to kill the residents in areas which had voted the heaviest for the overthrown President.

America is no actual ally of Europe. The Marshall Plan is long-since finished, and America has been taken over by psychopaths who are Europe’s main enemies, not Europe’s friends, at all. (They’re friends of some European aristocracies, but not of any European public, not of even merely one public.)

Iran and Russia should be Europe’s allies — they didn’t cause any of Europe’s problems. America did. America’s intelligence agencies tapped (and probably still tap) the phones of Germany’s Chancellor and practically everybody else, and yet the US regime has the gall to blame Russia for interfering in the political affairs of European countries. If that isn’t the pot calling the kettle ‘black’, then what is? If anything, the EU’s sanctions should be against doing business with American firms — not against doing business with Russian firms, or with Iranian firms. European politicians who support the US support Europe’s top enemy.

Russia is, itself, a European country, which additionally traverses much of Asia, but America is no European country, at all, and yet now is so brazen as to demand that Europe must do America’s bidding — not only against Russia, but also against the Sauds’ main target, which is Iran (the same main target as Israel’s).

Why are Europeans not asking themselves: Who is Europe’s enemy in all of this — what causes this refugee-crisis? The refugees certainly didn’t.

It’s not Russia, and it’s not Iran, and it’s not China; it is America — which is the true enemy of them all, and of us all — including even of the American people ourselves, because the US Government no longer actually represents the American people. These invasions, and military occupations, and coups, do not serve America’s public; they serve America’s aristocracy. The US is no longer (if it ever was) a democracy. The US Government now is the US aristocracy — not the US public. It’s a dictatorship. And, it has the type of ‘news’media that any dictatorship has.

On June 30th, the US aristocracy’s New York Times headlined “Bavaria: Affluent, Picturesque — and Angry”, and reported “the new angry center of Europe, the latest battleground for populists eager to bring down both Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and the idea of a liberal Europe itself.” Their elitist (pro-US-aristocracy) ‘reporter’ (actually propagandist) interviewed ‘experts’ who condemn Europe’s politicians that are trying to assuage their own public’s anger against the EU’s open-door policy regarding this flood of refugees from what is actually, for the most part, the US regime’s (and its allies’) bombings — air-support of the boots-on-the-ground jihadist mercenaries. The combination of this air-support, and of the jihadists, has been the backbone of the US-Saudi-Israeli effort to overthrow and replace Syria’s Government.

Libya was a similar case, but was only friendly toward Russia, not allied with Russia, as both Syria and Iran are.

The US aristocracy funds an enormous international PR campaign for all this. These are ‘humanitarian’ bombings in order to replace a ‘barbaric’ Government — but replace it with what? With one that would be chosen by the Sauds. And this propaganda-campaign is also funded by the US-allied aristocracies. All of the major ‘news’media, in US and allies, receive their ‘expert’ ‘information’ from these privately-funded and government-funded propagandists, who are treated by 'journalists' as being objective and experts (which they're not).

The NYT article says — and I add here key explanatory links:

“This is not about economics,” said Gerald Knaus, the director of the European Stability Initiative, [and though unmentioned by the Times, “The Open Society Institute was a major core funder” of the ESI, which is] a Berlin-based think tank. “It is about identity and a very successful populist P.R. machine that is rewriting recent history.”

So: the Times was secretly (and they didn’t include any links to help online readers know who was actually funding their ‘experts’, at all) pumping NATO propaganda, as if it were authentic and neutral news-reporting, instead of craven service to the US aristocracy that controls the US Government and its NATO military alliance. This is the New York Times, itself, that is “rewriting recent history.” That’s how they do it — constantly (as ‘news’).

And here is some of that “recent history” the Times is “rewriting” (by simply omitting to so much as even just suggest, but which is essential backgound in order to understand the real history behind this important matter):

http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/RP01-50/RP01-50.pdf

House of Commons, Research Paper 01/50, 2 May 2001

“European Security and Defence Policy: Nice and Beyond"

pp. 47-48:

On 7 February 2001 the Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, emphasised the ESDP’s [European Security and Defence Policy’s] tie to NATO during a press interview, following his meeting in Washington with US National Security Adviser, Condoleeza Rice. He said:

I have stressed that the European Security Initiative will strengthen the capacity of Europe to contribute to crisis management and therefore is welcome to a Washington that is interested in fairer burden sharing, and that Washington can be confident that Britain will insist that the European Security Initiative is firmly anchored on NATO. We are both determined to see that happen, we are both determined to make sure that the European Security Initiative carries out its promise to strengthen the North Atlantic Alliance.119

——

Though the Sauds, and also Israel’s aristocracy, are mainly anti-Iran, the US aristocracy are obsessed with their goal of conquering Russia. Since Iran, and Syria, are both allied with Russia, the US regime is trying to overthrow those Russia-allied Governments, before going in for the kill, against Russia itself. That’s what all of these economic sanctions, and the bombings and the backing of Al Qaeda for overthrowing Syria’s Government, are really all about. 

Is this what today’s Europeans want their Governments to be doing — and doing it for that reason, the US aristocracy’s reason? Despite the huge harms it is certainly causing to Europeans?

Here, then, is a debate between, on the one hand a retired CIA official who thinks "Our relationship with Israel causes us war with Muslims,” versus Representatives in the US Congress who are actually representatives of Israel’s Government and definitely not representatives of the American people. Both sides in that debate are acceptable to the aristocrats who control the US Government, because neither side argues that the apartheid theocratic Government of Israel is an enemy of the American people (as is documented actually to be the case, here and here), nor that the entire problem of Islamic terrorism is fundamentalist-Sunni, and that only Israel gets hit by terrorism that’s from both Sunnis and Shiites — that Shiites (the US alliance's targets) are no terrorist threat, at all, to Europeans (nor to Americans) — the “Islamist” threat is actually only from fundamentalist Sunnis, which are the very same groups that are secretly allied with America’s aristocracy and the Sauds. Neither side of the ‘debate’ acknowledges that both the Sauds and Israel (and Israel’s lobbyists represent internationally also the Sauds’ interests) are enemies both of the American people, and of the peoples of Europe. 

As the world’s greatest blogger, the former UK Ambassador (but too honest to stay in that business) Craig Murray, recently said under the headline, "No Trump, No Clinton, No NATO”: “The destruction of Libya’s government and infrastructure directly caused the Mediterranean boat migrant crisis, which has poisoned the politics of much of the European Union.” But, of course, the US regime and its allies have also destroyed other countries than that — and thus caused refugees to Europe from many nations. And, finally, even the US Government (though as quietly as possible) acknowledges that it has destroyed Afghanistan. Ironically, that’s the very nation where America and the Sauds, in 1979, had started their war against all Governments that won’t buckle to them.

Furthermore, the US regime intends to keep it up. In case a reader might happen to think that, surely, the US regime and its allies are going to quit this rousing of hornets’ nests; Sharmine Narwani, who is one of the very few non-“embedded” journalists who reports in The West about — and (which the mainstream ones don’t) from — the war in Syria, headlined, on June 25th, “Are al-Qaeda Affiliates Fighting Alongside US Rebels in Syria’s South?” and she found that the answer to this question is a resounding yes:

Despite its US and UN designation as a terrorist organization, Nusra [Al Qaeda’s main name in Syria] has been openly fighting alongside the “Southern Front,” a group of 54 opposition militias funded and commanded by a US-led war room based in Amman, Jordan called the Military Operations Center (MOC). …

Sources inside Syria — both opposition fighters and Syrian military brass (past and present) — suggest the command center consists of the US, UK, France, Jordan, Israel, and some Persian Gulf states. … In practice, the US doesn’t appear to mind the Nusra affiliation — regardless of the fact that the group is a terror organization — as long as the job gets done.

These wars, which pour Middle Eastern (and also Ukrainian*) refugees into the EU, are inter-aristocratic conflicts reflecting inter-aristocratic competitions; and the publics everywhere suffer enormously from them. The gainers from it are very few but very rich (and they hire very powerful agents in Europe and elsewhere). Those billionaire gainers, and their agents, should be Europe’s targets — not Russia and Iran. NATO must end now. Europe needs to be freed, at last, from America’s permanent-war-for permanent-‘peace’ grip. For Europeans, who are the indirect victims, to be blaming the refugees, who are the direct victims, won’t solve anything, but will simply please the victimizers, as is the public’s ancient habit (to please the powerful). A break must be made, away from that ugly past. European publics must lead the way, or no one will.

PS: Since this article asserts such a large number of things that contradict what the US Government and its agents assert, I have sought out and here linked to the highest-quality, least-contested and most highly authenticated, sources and also to sources that link to such sources; all of which, taken together, constitute a book-length proof of the title-case here, that “America Bombs, Europe Gets the Refugees. That’s Evil.” Furthermore, this online virtual “book” is tracking back to the most unimpeachable documents, all of them available merely by means of clicking, and thus without the reader’s needing to visit a huge scholarly library (which might be quite distant); so, the reader can here easily branch out to this entire, and otherwise largely hidden, world of reliable sources, which the US regime wants the public not to know, and certainly not to understand. It’s no longer necessary to be an intelligence-professional in order to come to understand what the regime wants the public not to understand.

* Kleine vergissing: de Oekraïners die Oost-Oekraïne ontvluchten vanwege de bombardementen van het Oekraïense leger (voor het grootste deel bevolkt met neonazi's), vluchten niet naar de EU, maar naar Rusland. (ze zouden al worden vermoord, voordat ze de westgrens van Oekraïne bereikten.....)
