America: The World's #1 Terrorist Organization and Leaked Video Shows US Contractors Randomly Killing Civilians


Both President Bush and President Obama have reserved the right for US forces to operate lethally and unilaterally in any country across the globe in pursuit of alleged high value terrorists. The Obama administration’s expansion of US Special Operations activities globally has been authorized under a classified order dating back to the Bush administration. Originally signed in early 2004 by then–Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, it is known as the “AQN ExOrd,” or Al Qaeda Network Execute Order. The AQN ExOrd was intended to cut through bureaucratic and legal processes, allowing US special forces to move into denied areas or countries beyond the official battle zones of Iraq and Afghanistan. Gen. David Petraeus, who is poised to become director of the CIA, expanded and updated that order in late 2009. “JSOC has been more empowered more under this administration than any other in recent history,” a Special Ops source told The Nation. “No question.”

#JusticeForTrayvon and for all African Americans and all Hispanic Americans and the poor and others oppressed in the USA .



Blackwater caught randomly killing and terrorizing citizens in Iraq and Afghanistan having been given the green light and immunity from prosecution by the USA.
So how is this supposed to be an improvement after ousting and lynching Saddam or replacing the Taliban in Afghanistan.
American troops and mercenaries killing for Jesus
America #1 terrorist organization in the world today
America the world's no. 1 bully.
So who's the real tyrant???
Democracy and Freedom only for the few in America and their quislings around the globe.

First up is my own take on Blackwater gone wild and the US military's War Crimes and Crimes against humanity and the myth of America's moral superiority over all other nations and peoples. The videos of Blackwater will then follow.

When high crimes and misdemeanors were being committed by the US military and its contractors such as Blackwater progressive and liberals were condemning President Bush for allowing US troops and contractors to operate in Iraq without worrying about rules of engagement or just common sense and common decency.

Unfortunately all the same sorts of crimes and misbehavior of US troops and contractors are still occurring while now Obama supporters either deny any such actions are taking place under his watch or they rationalize such behaviors while ignoring the suffering being caused to the peoples of various nations where the US military or its proxies are now operating.

So unfortunately a thousand such tapes could be released showing this misconduct and war crimes and crimes against humanity and Obama and his true believers are dismissive of such events.

As we study and ponder the History of the United States the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity including genocide are just part of America's brutal and bloody heritage. From the murder of a few million Amerindians to the slave trade to the invasion of the Philippines and Mexico and to the invasion and occupation of Vietnam and more recently Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya and various other nations America has given no quarter even to those who are innocent.

These newly released videos of US guns for hire Blackwater show how little respect Americans have for a human life. Their attitude :"kill'em all" .

President Obama like former president Bush has little regard for the lives of the peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia , Syria, Iran etc. Both presidents see these released videos as merely a Public Relations issue which needs to be addressed using media damage control and to get the media and the American people back on message. The message is America represents the good guys fighting the bad guys and that God Himself is on America's side.

In this way at least one could argue that Obama unfortunately has proven himself to be a "Real American" who sees the world through America's historical and mythical prism of exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny and America as "The City on the Hill" which is supposedly a shinning example of justice for all nations to emulate.

But there is no justice in America in its institutions, in its government , in its system of justice ,in its backward anti-democratic two party political system or even in the way elections are decided . Even at the street level of getting American citizens registered to vote or partake in elections and even the way ballots are cast is all made so complicated and is so politicized that America's elections are as farcical and as free as those held in a country run by some form of military Junta or Royal Family such as in Honduras, Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya and so on. Most European nations for instance have fairer systems which have resulted in something closer to real democracy.

In America elections are seen as just another game in which the rules are almost non-existent. In America politicizing even the registration of citizens to be able to vote occurs as much as it does in third world nations. And the choice in America is usually not much of a choice its Twiddly-dee or Twiddly-dum . But both parties are committed to perpetual war and world hegemony if not complete conquest. Both are committed to supporting the Military-Intelligence-Security Corporate State.
It is no wonder that when Americans talk about spreading democracy it means quite a different animal from what those of us outside America understand as Democracy and the creation of a "JUST SOCIETY".

The entire American system is geared towards on major goal which is to defend the wealthiest members of society and the corporations which now under US Law are granted all the rights of the individual citizen.

Since 9/11 the world has had to accept the American view of the world and that America is killing a million or more civilians because America is the real victim.

Obama continues to use all the same tools and more to fight this phony war on terrorism. The rules of war, the Geneva Conventions and so forth do not apply we are told to America. Obama and many Americans whether republicans or democrats are deluded believing their nation to be the best and the most just and the most free of all of the nations. Further the Americans in general believe that as a people they are superior to all other peoples.

So they claim that they are therefore justified in invading and bombing any country they want to and the world is supposed to either support America or keep silent.

So they defend targeted assassinations, renditions, torture, indefinite detention , killing innocent civilians by the hundreds of thousands .

Meanwhile President Obama gives tacit at least support to allowing heavily armed riot police to gas and beat and incarcerate thousands of peaceful American citizens who dare to protest against the government or the military or Wall Street and the war profiteers. Wars and more wars to defend the 1% while keeping over two billion on the precipice of starvation and hopelessness.
But if they dare turn on their oppressors the USA will deliver the weapons and or troops to punish those who dare rise up demanding their rights and freedoms in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Yemen or Bahrain .

The Americans bomb and invade or use their proxies to turn a civilized society into a brutal chaotic wasteland in which the worst of the worst may take control with America's blessing.

But isn't it odd that the pro-life true believers are among the first to insist that Christian American soldiers be sent to the Middle East and elsewhere to kill as many foreigners as they possibly can insisting they convert and follow the so called Prince of Peace ie Jesus or be killed.

But America has not yet killed enough it appears to fully exact their revenge for 9/11. So Obama and his generals move from one nation to another exacting another pound of flesh by over throwing regimes destablizing whole nations to push its own pro-Capitalist winner take all mentality wrapped in the flag while praying to a burning cross.

Blackwater's Christian Crusaders fighting the demonic forces of Islam??? Some Westerners may be upset over the random pointless killings of Iraqis but most probably see this as just a continuation of the Christian Crusades which begun in 1097 and never really ended.


Blackwater in Iraq (5 of 5)

Leaked Video Shows US Contractors Randomly Killing Civilians at Information Clearing House

Employees of the US military contracting group Academi (formerly Xe, Blackwater USA and Blackwater Worldwide) are seen in new leaked video shooting their machine guns at random while driving through the streets of Baghdad, crashing into other cars and even running over a pedestrian without hesitation. Academi received a $250 million contract by the Obama administration to provide military services in Afghanistan. Posted April 07, 2012



The first [video], identified as “Baghdad, Iraq, May–­September 2005,” showed Blackwater convoys racing through town. Suddenly, the door of a Blackwater SUV opened and a rifle fired at passing traffic. “They opened the door,” my companion said. “You should never break the seal.”



The next tape had been taken by a camera in the turret of an armored vehicle. An [M4A1]11. Corrected text.

gun fired from the turret at cars that had stopped to let the convoy pass. Whoever was firing the [gun] did so enthusiastically and often, sending rounds into parked cars and an overhead bridge. Another sequence showed a contractor vehicle rear-ending a car, shattering its back windshield.



The footage continued. A Humvee smashed into a car to move it out of the way. Guards swore at passersby. More armored vehicles smashed into civilian cars.



Blackwater helicopters shot at targets below in a Baghdad street.



...the tape dated April 1, 2006, which was shot from the front seat of the fourth car in an armored convoy? Driving along a wide boulevard in Baghdad, the lead vehicle swerved close to the curb of a traffic island. A woman in a black full-length burka began to cross the street. The vehicle struck the woman and knocked her unconscious body into the gutter. The cars slowed for a moment, but did not stop, nor did they even determine whether the victim was dead or alive.

A voice in the car taking the video said, “Oh, my God!” Yet no one was heard on the radio requesting help for her. Most sickeningly, the sequence had been set to an AC/DC song, whose pounding, metallic chorus declared: “You’ve been… thunderstruck!”

American and Israeli terrorists attacks within Iran:

Sy Hersh: US Funded and Trained Iranian Group on State Dept. Terror List by Alex Kane via alternet.org,April 6,2012

Seymour Hersh, the venerable investigative journalist, dropped another bombshell this morning in the New Yorker: the US military trained members of an Iranian terrorist group in Nevada in 2005.

What’s more, American intelligence continues to be transferred to the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) for use in operations that include the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Hersh reports that during the Bush administration, the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), an elite Special Operations force, transferred funds, arms and intelligence to the MEK.

Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran's nuclear scientists, U.S. officials tell NBC News Rockcenter By Richard Engel and Robert Windrem NBC Newsexclusive , Feb 9, 2012

-- Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.

The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

U.S. drones targeting rescuers and mourners BY GLENN GREENWALD, Salon.com,Feb. 5,2012

On December 30 of last year, ABC News reported on a 16-year-old Pakistani boy, Tariq Khan, who was killed with his 12-year-old cousin when a car in which he was riding was hit with a missile fired by a U.S. drone. As I noted at the time, the report contained this extraordinary passage buried in the middle:

Asked for documentation of Tariq and Waheed’s deaths, Akbar did not provide pictures of the missile strike scene. Virtually none exist, since drones often target people who show up at the scene of an attack.

What made that sentence so amazing was that it basically amounts to a report that the U.S. first kills people with drones, then fires on the rescuers and others who arrive at the scene where the new corpses and injured victims lie.

Pakistan Ends Drone Strikes in Blow to U.S. War on Terror By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan BloomsbergBusinessWeek.com, on March 12, 2012

The drone program, which President Barack Obama acknowledged publicly for the first time in January, has been part of U.S. counter-terrorism strategy in Pakistan since 2004, officials and counter-terrorism experts say. The administration authorized 53 drone attacks in 2009 and 117 in 2010, compared with 35 in 2008 under former President George W. Bush, according to Bill Roggio, a U.S. military analyst whose website, the Long War Journal, maintains a database of the campaign.
