Arrest Tony Blair

From time to time United States of America decide to destroy lives of millions of people around the Globe. They imagine a problem, then create an even bigger one and then try to drag the rest of the World into it so they could get out. Everybody knows it's wrong. Some countries try to avoid the pressure and others just like to kiss their butts and lick their balls... United Kingdom for example and Tony The American Puppet Blair especially.

The date for the public hearing of former Prime Minister Tony Blair has been announced… by the Iraq Inquiry… Mr Blair will appear for a full day’s session on Friday 29th January 2010. Here are some of the questions that the Inquiry should ask Tony Blair:

When, and with whom, did you make any agreement to consider formally committing UK forces towards any prospective invasion of Iraq? When did you first personally decide that British armed forces would indeed take part in the US-led invasion of Iraq? Was the matter of upholding the UN Iraq disarmament resolutions the only reason for committing UK forces against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq? When did you first seek advice about the legality of taking military action to enforce the authority of United Nations resolutions regarding Iraq? Who did you seek this advise from? What was your understanding of the legal position regarding the invasion of Iraq? On 3 April 2002, you told NBC news “We know that he [Saddam Hussein] has stockpiles of major amounts of chemical and biological weapons.”How do you justify this statement? Why did you lie? Was it because of the money? When did you start having those wet dreams about Bush?...

Tony Blair’s record of bombing nations to enforce his “values” and “liberate” his victims did not begin in Iraq in 2003.
Although he heartily enforced the murderous sanctions levied against Iraq following the end of the first Gulf War, sanctions that denied basic humanitarian supplies to innocent civilians and resulted in many thousands of deaths, his first large scale military aggression fell on Serbia, once a federal unit of Yugoslavia. With Blair’s full support NATO launched a 78 day blitz against Serbia in 1999. Blair’s justification for sending his bombers against Serbian cities and towns was that Serbs were committing state sanctioned “genocide” against ethnic Albanians in the breakaway province of Kosovo. Blair went as far as to draw comparisons with the Holocaust of World War II. The media dutifully played its role in supporting Blair’s agenda, a service it would repeat when it came time to bomb Iraq four years later and then Afghanistan.
If Slobodan Milosevic (murdered at the Hague Tribunal in the lack of evidence) was a war criminal then what would you call Tony, Clinton, Bush and their brothers in arms around the world?...

The Holocaust Industry

Jewish American historian and son of survivors of the Warsaw ghetto and concentration camps, Norman Finkelstein in his explosive new book, "The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering", accuses those who exploit the Holocaust of telling lies and of naked greed. He argues that the ruthless industrialisation of the Holocaust has encouraged the rebirth of anti-semitism in Europe and the United States. The headquarters of the Holocaust Industry, are in the USA, with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) or the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC). He says the holocaust is an ideological construction, that originally served the interests of the Jewish elite in America and has now degenerated into a money making instrument. It has become a extortion racket. "If everyone who claims to be a survivor actually is one," my mother used to exclaim, "who did Hitler kill?".

Neither Finkelstein's book nor this blog in any way excuses the actions of the Nazis, who were eventually responsible for one of the greatest horrors ever to afflict Europe. Awareness of the depravity exhibited by those who ran the Nazi state and the Nazi extermination campaigns should be part of any person's education, and should never be forgotten although this should not be used as an excuse to ignore other campaigns of genocide against non-Jewish peoples equally deserving of the term "holocaust". Norman Finkelstein has caused a storm on both sides of the Atlantic and it is not hard to see why: he says the Holocaust has been exploited to extort cash from Switzerland, Germany and any other country which can be tarred with the Nazi brush. In the early 1950s, Germany entered into negotiations with Jewish institutions and signed indemnification agreements. It has paid out to date some $60bn. Modern-day Germany has already atoned for the sins of the Nazi era, both morally and financially. Many times since the war (and even today) Germany's leaders have expressed their profound regret at the actions of the Nazis, and have accepted collective responsibility for what happened. He argues directly that today's Holocaust Industry is not truly concerned with obtaining compensation for "needy holocaust survivors," noting that very little of the recently extracted "compensation" has reached its nominal beneficiaries. Instead, the industry's concern today lies with winning compensation for law firms, consultants, politicians, Holocaust organizations, and industry elites. "When Jewish elites rob Jewish survivors no ethical issues arise; it's just about the money". But that's not all. Every time Israel goes to war against poor stone throwing civilians, Holocaust WW2 comes as an excuse (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran all major threats to the very existence of state of Israel). Criticism of Israel is not allowed and it is often called anti-semitimism. It's a taboo!

It's not only the hypocrisy of those profiting from the Holocaust industry — the hypocrisy of the United States in this affair stinks to high heaven. Finkelstein writes: Like Switzerland, the US denied entry to Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism before and during the second world war. Yet the US government hasn't seen fit to compensate them. The US refuses even to consider the question of compensation to African-Americans for having enslaved their ancestors, reduced them and their descendants to poverty and misery, and denied black Americans their human rights during most of the history of the US. And if we're talking genocide, let's not forget the genocide perpetrated by the US against the original inhabitants of the land (almost all of the continental US) siezed by the US government. How many indigenous American Indian families broken and destroyed? How many millions slaughtered? ... But will the US government consider compensation for survivors of this genocide? No. What about Iraq and Afghanistan?

APOCALYPSE NOW: Haiti

by Amy Goodman

The tragedy of the Haitian earthquake continues to unfold, with slow delivery of aid, the horrific number of amputations performed out of desperate medical necessity, more than a million homeless, perhaps 240,000 dead, hunger, dehydration, the emergence of infections and waterborne diseases, and the approach of the rainy season, which will be followed by the hurricane season. Haiti has suffered a massive blow, an earthquake for which its infrastructure was not prepared, after decades—no, centuries—of military and economic manipulation by foreign governments, most notably the United States and France.

Haiti was a slave plantation controlled by France. In 1804, inspired by Toussaint L’Ouverture (after whom the now barely functioning airport in Port-au-Prince is named), the slaves rebelled, founding the world’s first black republic. Under military threat from France in 1825, Haiti agreed to pay reparations to France for lost “property,” including slaves that French owners lost in the rebellion. It was either agree to pay the reparations or have France invade Haiti and reimpose slavery. Many Haitians believe that original debt, which Haiti dutifully paid through World War II, committed Haiti to a future of poverty that it has never been able to escape. (While France, as part of the deal, recognized Haiti’s sovereignty, slave-owning politicians in the United States, like Thomas Jefferson, refused to recognize the black republic, afraid it would inspire a slave revolt here. The U.S. withheld formal recognition until 1862.)

The U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 until 1934. In 1956, Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier took control in a military coup and declared himself president for life, initiating a period of brutal, bloody dictatorship, with U.S. support. Papa Doc died in 1971, at which point his 19-year-old son, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, took over, maintaining the same violent dictatorial control until he was driven into exile by popular revolt in 1986. Jubilee USA, a network calling for elimination of debt owed by poor countries, estimates that Baby Doc alone diverted at least $500 million in public funds to his private accounts, and that 45 percent of Haiti’s debt in recent decades was accumulated during the corrupt reign of the Duvaliers.
Loans from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) imposed “structural adjustment” conditions on Haiti, opening its economy to cheap U.S. agricultural products. Farmers, unable to compete, stopped growing rice and moved to the cities to earn low wages, if they were lucky enough to get one of the scarce sweatshop jobs. People in the highlands were driven to deforest the hills, converting wood into salable charcoal, which created an ecological crisis—destabilizing hillsides, increasing the destructiveness of earthquakes and causing landslides during the rainy season.

Haiti’s first democratically elected president was Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Catholic priest committed to the poor. He was elected in 1990, then ousted in a military coup in 1991. In 1994, with Haitian refugees flooding into Florida, the Clinton administration was forced to restore Aristide to power, but only with additional structural-adjustment demands. Aristide was re-elected in 2000, only to be deposed again in a U.S.-backed coup in 2004, Haiti’s bicentennial.

The destruction of Haiti’s rice industry, which was replaced with U.S. government-subsidized rice that Haitians refer to as “Miami rice,” as well as the sale of critical state-owned enterprises, like Haiti’s sole flour mill and cement factory, have left the country dependent on foreign trade and aid, keeping Haiti at a permanent disadvantage.
It is critical now to cancel Haiti’s ongoing foreign debt, so that the country can devote its scant resources to rebuilding and not to repaying debt. The G-7 finance ministers met in Canada this week and announced the forgiveness of the bilateral debt between member states and Haiti. But the World Bank, IMF and IDB debts remain (the IMF controversially promised a $100 million loan after the earthquake, eliciting condemnation, and has since pledged to convert it to a grant).
Earthquakes alone do not create disasters of the scale now experienced in Haiti. The wealthy nations have for too long exploited Haiti, denying it the right to develop in a secure, sovereign, sustainable way. The global outpouring of support for Haitians must be matched by long-term, unrestricted grants of aid, and immediate forgiveness of all that country’s debt. Given their role in Haiti’s plight, the United States, France and other industrialized nations should be the ones seeking forgiveness.
