The Georgia Peace and Justice Coalition/Atlanta will have a very important
meeting tomorrow night, Monday. We have new opportunities and
responsibilities!
GPJC/Atlanta Monthly Meeting
Monday November 20, 2006 7 - 9 pm
American Friends Service Committee Office
92 Piedmont Ave. (corner of Dobbs & Piedmont), Atlanta, GA 30303
(limited parking in front; pay behind building to avoid booting
This is not ready for prime time. Do not watch if graphic violence against
children disturbs you.
It was paid for and ordered by US Taxpayers on a Bi-partisan basis.
Now the leading democrat wants to draft more US soldiers into this shocking
terrorism, and McCain and Hillary Clinton say we have to increase our troops
there no matter what the cost.
Vote for the democrats until you're sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Or just forget that you're tax monies are doing this to children who now
will become recruitable by people who want revenge against the foreign
occupiers using terror, beatings, and torture against children.

This Is Why The Iraqis Hate Us
Another beating snuff video shames coalition of the killing, You
Tube censors it
Paul Joseph Watson

Friday, November 17, 2006
British troops punch, beat and kick pleading Iraqi children as a
sadistic comrade films the brutal scenes of torture, laughing,
screaming, growling and frothing like a serial killer filming a
snuff movie. This is why the Iraqis hate us.
Iraqi children throw rocks as they flee from running British
troops, are grabbed, brought inside a gate and beaten half to
death. Watch the video below. The censorship spies at You Tube
rejected it 2 minutes after upload so I re-named it "Fluffy Happy
Poodles In Heaven," to try and bypass their keyword filters and
it was still rejected. I even renamed the actual 'wmv' filename
but it was still blocked for "terms of use violation." I finally
managed to get it posted on Google Video. If it disappears again,
here's the Windows Media link on our server.
"Oh yes! Oh Yes! You're gonna get it!" snarls the cameraman.
"Yes! Naughty little boys."
He laughs as they boys begin to scream out in pain, "Yes!"
He then takes on the tone of a demented serial killer, grunting
and growling,
"Yeeeeeesss, yeeeeeessss," as troops punch and kick the children.
He mocks the cries of the boys, "No please don't hurt me," laughs
again and then proceeds to begin frothing in some kind of insane
carnal bloodlust, "Motherfuckers, you little fuckers - die!"
Adult Iraqis are brought in and similarly assaulted - the video
ends.
A probe of this video led to the arrest of the cameraman, Cpl
Martin Webster, but after that the investgation seemingly went
nowhere and was swept under the rug.
Originally leaked in February this year, this is just the latest
in a long line of "trophy videos" that expose the true face of
what the troops have been trained and ordered to do in Iraq,
dominate, brutalize and enslave the population - and it's why
nearly 3,000 have come home in flag-draped coffins.
This is why the Iraqis hate us.
- A CNN clip from the early days of the "liberation" shows U.S.
troops finishing off an injured Iraqi. The tape cuts to an
interview with one of the soldiers who states, "Like, man, you
guys are dead now, you know. But it was a good feeling. I mean,
afterwards you're like, hell, yeah, that was awesome. Let's do it
again."
- In another clip the soldier exclaims, "Hell yeah bitches," as
he audibly orgasms as the scene of carnage before him - a missile
slamming into a nearby building. "I got all that shit on camera."
- U.S. troops in a convoy drive vehicles down an Iraqi highway
and bemoan the fact that they are not allowed to gun down
children who throw rocks at them.
- Bloodthirsty security guards and contractors hang out the back
of trucks and randomly execute Iraqis driving in vehicles behind
them.
- An Iraqi taxi driver who stole some firewood gets his vehicle
crushed by an Abrams tank as U.S. troops cheer and holler.
These are just some of the videos that have been leaked onto the
Internet. Now we know that the policy to abuse and torture
innocent Iraqis just to show them who the bosses were was
implicit, how many more of these kind of incidents have happened
over the past three and a half years but not been videotaped by
salivating zombies?
This is why the Iraqis hate us.
No one is suggesting that U.S. troops should roll over like a
poodle if someone is shooting at them - they have every right to
shoot back no matter what your view on the war is. The rubicon is
crossed when petty thieves, children who throw rocks or
completely innocent people are brutalized without recourse and
the one thing that betrays the true nature of it all is the
sadistic reaction of the protagonists who enjoy the torture, the
beatings and the death.
Most of these individuals were brought up on a steady diet of
first person shoot-em-ups, and they have overlaid the mental
perception that the video games taught them on how to treat
death. Distanced and emotionless, the troops see random slaughter
and torture as a stress reliever, a means of letting off some
steam - and it's all sanctioned from the very top.
This is why the Iraqis hate us.
The assumption that Iraq is now liberated and that its people
have suffered for the glorious opportunity of seeing democracy
and freedom flourish throughout their country is the last thread
the Neo-Cons are hanging onto as claims of weapons of mass
destruction and Al-Qaeda ties evaporated long ago. Yet to claim
Iraq is liberated is the most absurd of any of the justifications
for going to war or "staying the course."
Every cornerstone of what one would consider to be basic rights
in a free society, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, right
to fair judicial process, right to be secure from unlawful
searches and seizures in one's home, have been abolished in Iraq.
The occupation makes the regime of Saddam Hussein look like
post-revolution America.
This is why the Iraqis hate us.
I guess the Iraqi children should feel lucky in that they got
their retaliation in first by throwing rocks, many are simply
arrested, hooded and taken to the torture camp for refusing to
show ID at checkpoints. It's good to see that the authorities are
not hypocrites and that the same kind of law enforcement
techniques are practiced here at home, as Mostafa Tabatabainejad
can attest to, the student was tortured for refusing to show his
ID to UCLA police in a campus library.
The fun will continue when the same kind of barbarous fiends who
get orgasmic pleasure from watching children being tortured come
back home and become our police.

interview with one of the soldiers who states, "Like, man, you<br>
guys are dead now, you know. But it was a good feeling. I mean,<br>
afterwards you're like, hell, yeah, that was awesome. Let's do it<br>
again."<br>
<br>
- In another clip the soldier exclaims, "Hell yeah bitches," =
as<br>
he audibly orgasms as the scene of carnage before him - a missile<br>
slamming into a nearby building. "I got all that shit on =
camera."<br>
<br>
- <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
troops in a convoy drive vehicles down an Iraqi highway<br>
and bemoan the fact that they are not allowed to gun down<br>
children who throw rocks at them.<br>
<br>
- Bloodthirsty security guards and contractors hang out the back<br>
of trucks and randomly execute Iraqis driving in vehicles behind<br>
them.<br>
<br>
- An Iraqi taxi driver who stole some firewood gets his vehicle<br>
crushed by an Abrams tank as <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
troops cheer and holler.<br>
<br>
These are just some of the videos that have been leaked onto the<br>
Internet. Now we know that the policy to abuse and torture<br>
innocent Iraqis just to show them who the bosses were was<br>
implicit, how many more of these kind of incidents have happened<br>
over the past three and a half years but not been videotaped by<br>
salivating zombies?<br>
<br>
This is why the Iraqis hate us.<br>
<br>
No one is suggesting that <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place>
troops should roll over like a<br>
poodle if someone is shooting at them - they have every right to<br>
shoot back no matter what your view on the war is. The rubicon is<br>
crossed when petty thieves, children who throw rocks or<br>
completely innocent people are brutalized without recourse and<br>
the one thing that betrays the true nature of it all is the<br>
sadistic reaction of the protagonists who enjoy the torture, the<br>
beatings and the death.<br>
<br>
Most of these individuals were brought up on a steady diet of<br>
first person shoot-em-ups, and they have overlaid the mental<br>
perception that the video games taught them on how to treat<br>
death. Distanced and emotionless, the troops see random slaughter<br>
and torture as a stress reliever, a means of letting off some<br>
steam - and it's all sanctioned from the very top.<br>
<br>
This is why the Iraqis hate us.<br>
<br>
The assumption that <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>
is now liberated and that its people<br>
have suffered for the glorious opportunity of seeing democracy<br>
and freedom flourish throughout their country is the last thread<br>
the Neo-Cons are hanging onto as claims of weapons of mass<br>
destruction and Al-Qaeda ties evaporated long ago. Yet to claim<br>
<st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>
is liberated is the most absurd of any of the justifications<br>
for going to war or "staying the course."<br>
<br>
Every cornerstone of what one would consider to be basic rights<br>
in a free society, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, right<br>
to fair judicial process, right to be secure from unlawful<br>
searches and seizures in one's home, have been abolished in <st1:place =
w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region
w:st=3D"on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<br>
The occupation makes the regime of Saddam Hussein look like<br>
post-revolution <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:country-region =
w:st=3D"on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<br>
<br>
This is why the Iraqis hate us.<br>
<br>
I guess the Iraqi children should feel lucky in that they got<br>
their retaliation in first by throwing rocks, many are simply<br>
arrested, hooded and taken to the torture camp for refusing to<br>
show ID at checkpoints. It's good to see that the authorities are<br>
not hypocrites and that the same kind of law enforcement<br>
techniques are practiced here at home, as Mostafa Tabatabainejad<br>
can attest to, the student was tortured for refusing to show his<br>
ID to UCLA police in a campus library.<br>
<br>
The fun will continue when the same kind of barbarous fiends who<br>
get orgasmic pleasure from watching children being tortured come<br>
back home and become our police.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
