A Children's Market in Baghdad.

2009-10-27T23:31:00.010+03:00

There are auctions taking place selling stolen Iraqi artifacts and there are auctions taking place selling Iraqi children in the center of Baghdad's markets...

The stealing and selling of our past and our future... Tell me what is left ?

What follows is my translation of an article I received today. If anyone from Sweden reads this, I need more information please and a copy of the article in the original language as it appeared in the Swedish press.

According to this article, a documentary film on Swedish TV and then transcribed into an article that was published in some magazine/newspaper called " Express" ?, and translated into 12 languages in the past 24 h.

This documentary was done by two Swedish reporters (Tracey Christensen and Thor Bjorn Andersen) who secretly filmed a market in Baghdad, from inside a car...and they witnessed transactions in which Iraqi children were sold. They mention the case of a 4 year old girl being sold for 500 US dollars !

500 US dollars is what the buffoon President Talabani and his puppet Maliki spend on flowers to decorate each of their press conferences...

T.B Andersen also added that over and above the auction of Iraqi children, the parties in power steal all they can get hold of, and present to the Iraqi people, bullets of death under the cover of Democracy. Hunger, disease, malnutrition, environmental pollution and political anarchy and they murder their people for a fee that is cheaper than a public transport ticket.

The Swedish reporter concluded that this very grave issue (the selling of Iraqi children) will have great consequences on many levels, in the near future, provided that the Swedish government officially announces that it is willing to open its asylum doors to Iraqi children who are mistreated/abused in this manner. And the reporter demands that these children be given immediate residency and be taken care of by the Swedish government.

I don't know what to say anymore...the tragedies are so monumental...I have no more words. I am in a place beyond Hate...I still have to find a name for it.

I congratulate you all, for a well accomplished mission.

Burn in Hell

2009-10-26T03:55:00.008+03:00

This is not the first time that Americans burn the Koran, our Holy Book and which we consider a direct message from God. For us the Koran is the embodiment of the Divine Word. And it is the most sacred book, and the only Sacred Book worth defending.

Desecrating the Koran happened numerous times...it happened in Iraq when mosques and homes were raided, it happened in Guantanamo and it is happening in Afghanistan.

And coincidentally, two days ago, I received a whole series of pictures, of some American cow, taking pleasure in tearing the Koran apart, burning it, throwing its pages in the W.C, stepping on it, leaving it as a doormat in front of her house...etc...I still have the pictures and I don't want to publish them here, on this blog or maybe I should, so the world can see what kind of animals you are.

Today, Afghan protesters gathered in a demonstration, when they learned that our Holy Book was burned again...they burned an effigy of Obama instead, and some chanted "We don't want democracy, we want Islam."

Had they been vile, racist, hateful and backward like you, they could have easily burned the Bible or pictures of Jesus...but they did not...because we Muslims respect Jesus, as another message from the Divine.

We refrain from such abominations not because we like you but because we are faithful to the Word in the Book, the Book that mentions Jesus, Mary, Moses, Solomon, Isaak, Jacob, Joseph, Jonas, Job, David, Abraham...

When asked, the spokesperson for the U.S and its coalition of cowards, Captain Elizabeth Matthias, said :

"The Taliban was trying to undermine foreign troops by spreading the rumor. We did not burn a Quran ... It is unfortunate that the protesters believe a Taliban rumor..."

You see, this is one of the reasons I call you the People of the Lie...because not only your men and women have burned the Koran and desecrated in more ways than one...but you also burn the people that believe in the Koran...

The Taliban does not need to undermine your troops, you keep undermining yourselves by your criminal acts...the protesters did not gather because of a rumor, the protesters gathered because they have experienced your inhumanity and your hatefulness and racism...They were not waiting for a rumor "to undermine" you.

Next time you ask yourselves why you are so hated and why this hatred is growing, remember your acts and what drives you and them...

Iraq, Iran and all that deadly Jazz...

2009-10-24T23:59:00.013+03:00

To be frank with you, and I have a few vices but dishonesty is not one of them, I'd rather be doing something else than report your crimes back to you. But am also a firm believer in the simple motto that if you love something, give it your 110%. Unfortunately for you men (apart from l'oiseau rare - the rare pearl) my motto is non applicable...

I've titled this post -- Iraq, Iran as both seem to be have become one country...
Of course this is something I have not stopped repeating since I've started blogging...

I have been walking around with a series of printouts, in Arabic, which I took time to distill and condense adding to them a bit of fresh news gathered here and there, from different sources...

I feel like a private detective, who knows who the culprits are but keeps gathering more information, cues, to prove her case...in some invisible court of law.

I'd much rather be dancing to some love tune, writing poetry or engaging in fiction...I am no journalist and never aspired to be. Reporting is bland, flat, boring as hell...but, and that is probably my only consolation, detective work is not...

I like detective work, because it involves the trusting of intuition, a good deal of creativity, a strong sense of instinctive smell, and an eye for the detail, coupled with the seemingly innocuous information that comes your way...

Bloody hell, what an introduction for a simple post to give you the latest news from Iraq and Iran...But how else can I capture your attention ?

Let's start with Iran since this one seems to be the main, major, player these days...in Iraq, in the region and on the international scene. Once am done with Iran, I shall move to Iraq, the pistachio republic, for now at least.

Iran

In one of my previous posts, which really revolved around a premonitory dream, and which I called the long American-Iranian film, I affirmed that Obama will hand Iraq (or at least parts of it) to Iran, pending on the nuclear dossier. I also mentioned a French role in this and named Sarkozy in person. Do refer to that post. I am too tired to fish out for you, so do your own search.

Well, according to the heavy pack of printouts I have been carrying all day, in Arabic and trying to translate...one in particular stuck out. Namely, that according to Time magazine's issue of 19th October 2009, Obama has been engaging in SECRET talks with the Iranians for the past 4 months regarding the nuclear dossier. A middle ground solution was found, and this was run by the Russians and the French, namely that Iran's uranium will be processed in Russia and shipped back to Iran into a higher grade type.
Now am no nuclear scientist so don't rely on me to give you the exact formula of how this is done...

And coincidentally,to confirm the above, I just learned that :

- Iran revealed another nuclear underground plant in Qum. Adding that it did not reveal its location before, i.e during Bush's time, from fear of an Israeli/American attack. Now it has come out clean to Obama with the exact location.
Today 4 inspectors will be flying from Vienna on their way to Qum to inspect. Just right now, the US is asking Russia and France to be more lenient on the Iran nuclear dossier, since Iran has shown "good faith" by revealing locations. Russia has agreed to take Iranian uranium at 3% (whatever that means) and return it to Iran at 20%, thus ensuring that the level of Uranium is indeed used for peaceful purposes.

So where does Sarkozy and France fit in ?

I am a naive woman, Ala Bab Allah, like they say in Arabic, but my hunch tells me that Sarkozy and French companies will fit in some Basra oil deal. Stay tuned for that one...soon.

Now let's get back to Iraq. And please don't take those distinctive paragraphs as all delineating. They are very much intertwined. But Iraq, as in any satellite country only feels the ripple effects...

Now, I know that some of you don't mind it too much that Iraq has become a satellite of Iran, and that Kurdistan is on its way to become a totally independent region...
I am sure that the "left", in particular, don't mind...neither do the Arab "leftists" nor their Palestinian counterparts, nor the fundies i.e fundamentalists from the Muslim Brotherhood, and definitely not the majority of the Shiites.

But I do mind. I mind and thousands like myself mind...but right now we have more important occupiers to deal with, than you - garbage.

Iraq

According to a body of Iraqi analysts, the QUDS brigades of Iran have infiltrated the judicial, political parties, parliament, police and armed forces at the highest levels. In other words, they are affirming what J. said to me upon his return from Baghdad - Iran is deep into Iraq.

More bloodshed is expected for the status quo to remain as is -- i.e to keep that balance of power tilting very much in favor of Iran before the elections. And much will be done to ensure that this is so before the upcoming elections.

It is also in the interests of the Americans to keep it that way, in view of what has been said above regarding Iran's nuclear dossier. Kindly use your gray cells, if at all.

It is important for the Americans to keep some semblance of something...I will not use the word victory here, because it is SO OBVIOUS that America has failed with a big F in Iraq, be it on the military, political or economic level...America after 6 years of occupation and promises of being welcomed with candies and flowers is still unable to secure a basic minimum of security in any part of Iraq.

For me and for any perceptive person, it is absolutely clear that the Iraqi Resistance has foiled the American plan on all levels. And please don't be so dumb and naive as to assume that the American media will come out and say - Sorry folks, we failed. Things don't work that way in politics.

What America is desperately trying to do on the other hand, is to consolidate its primary agenda for Iraq, i.e the partition along sectarian and ethnic lines and in order for this beast to do so, it needs Iran and its further collaboration. Only then, can the show of troop withdrawal be credible...

I surely hope that you understand that basic, very basic ABC of face saving portrayed as political gain...but as usual am not holding my breath.

In that sense, and related to it, the "green revolution" in Iran was very important for Iraq. It denoted that the Iranian people, were against the Wilayat Al Faqih project for the region even though the protests came under the heading of "Reform".

And from the reactions from the Iraqi people's side, it was also all too clear that the Iraqis alongside the Iranian people had become all to aware of the FASCIST nature of the Iranian rule both in Iraq and in Iran.

And I have not meet one Iraqi, who condemned the protests in Iran...apart from the Shiite stooges affiliated to the sectarian parties. On the contrary they seemed to welcome it. The only ones who condemned it apart from the Shiite puppets of the American occupation, were the leftists, Arabs and Palestinians included, arguing that this was some CIA/Mossad affair.

I am not sure where this "velvet, green revolution" stands today. I never trusted or had any faith in Mussawi or Ayatollah Pistachio Rafsandjani, (refer to Vultures and Pistachios post for added confirmation), and I am seriously wondering...and as I predicted, I believe that this "velvet revolution" has fizzled out...

Which brings me back to square one...

So as in any satellite country, the news are brief and don't evoke much fervor or passion...

Let's start with the Dead...

- Al Anbar province : 4 civilians killed by an IED MADE IN IRAN. Reminder: Al-Anbar is an all "sooneeee" province, or has become so.

- Tikrit : another all "sooneee" area. 2 Killed after a suicide bomber detonated...

- Baghdad : Several explosive devices hidden behind billboards/posters were found, in central Baghdad. Nice creative work from Iran, I must admit.

- Green Zone Baghdad : A 5 million dollar American base is being developed, overseen by a certain Tom Robinson, employing some 200 workers. Will serve as a base for the U.S marines in coalition with the puppet Iraqi forces. (What troop withdrawal ?!!)

- "Kurdistan" - the darling of the "left" and the "Arab revolutionaries".
Special visit by Susan Rice (is she related to the witch Condi by any chance?) is visiting Erbil and has met with warlord - oil, drug and arm smuggler, Barazani (whose salary is 1 Million dollars per year). They both agreed that KIRKUK should be left out of the elections as it holds a special status for the Kurds. How novel and who would have guessed !

- Iraqi heritage : a) an auction sale is being held in Germany comprising of Iraqi antiquities. The Iraqi ministry of "Culture" asked them to please refrain.

b) other boxes of Iraqi antiquities have been found being smuggled to Iran.

c) according to the latest report from Babel and Nasseriya, Iraq's ancient monuments and statues have been hacked into pieces and sold on e.bay.

They called it the Revenge on Iraq's History...

But that's another chapter...dear, very dear to my heart...and I promise to give it back to you 110%.

Americans : Looters & Thieves.

2009-10-24T12:04:00.025+03:00

So much has been stolen and looted from Iraq, from my Beloved's lap, treasures, boxes, and shelves...

If I tell you that it is in the billion of Dollars, be it in cash or or in things/goods...I am not exaggerating one bit.

I, for one was a witness, and I saw it with my own two eyes, 675 million dollars in cash, taken by the US soldiers in trunks in 2003, to be "counted in New York". This money is still in New York.

I have hundreds of stories of US soldiers looting homes they raided, stealing the money, the jewelery, even the food...

I have hundreds of stories and some I have covered in the past, of U.S soldiers and journalists/reporters looting the personal belongings including clothes of Saddam Hussein's family, even Saddam Hussein's shoes and selling them in South Africa, Australia, and the U.S or keeping them as "souvenirs".

And here, I don't even wish to broach the subject of the looting of Iraq's antiquities, by your own soldiers and even by your U.N team of inspectors, inspectors fo WMDs which were never found and that was back in the 90's. They were caught time and time again at the borders smuggling Iraq's ancient artifacts. I want to keep this for later...because however much I write, I will never be done with you. You, barbaric, immoral, deceitful, hypocritical, greedy, envious, jealous, backward, depraved, decadent lot.

Now another official story of looting adds itself to your long list of thefts and burglaries.

This story was relayed in Akhbar Al-Khaleej News and kindly translated by Aziz, whom I deeply thank.

A senior official at the presidential palace at the time of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, said American soldiers looted the precious treasures which made up the Gift Gallery of President Saddam Hussein. The source said three U.S. tanks surrounded the museum on April 6, 2003. The soldiers removed all the contents of the museum, which included rare and valuable gifts and other priceless items of the late President, given to him by various political figures, presidents and kings. The loot included gold jewelry and the total estimate of the number of items in the museum were 600'000 pieces. The source pointed out that the looting took more than 20 hours during which the museum was emptied of its contents and transferred then to an unknown location. It subsequently transpired that the loot was transferred to the United States, where former U.S. President George W. Bush said he received gold-plated pistols belonging to President Saddam Hussein and these pistols were one of the items among the 600'000 looted from Saddam's museum. The source added that the museum also included archives of the Iraqi state dating back to the the early 20's of last century as well as other important official documents pertaining to Iraq's political history, during the Monarchy - called the Royal wills plus all the the covenants right up to Saddam Hussein's era. The source estimated the value of the loot to 300 million Dollars, stressing that he and several of his colleagues were watching the loot from a house near by, a loot programmed by the Americans. American soldiers had identified the site for the museum and knew its contents before they entered Baghdad and the items stolen had gone to U.S personalities, a large chunk of which, to U.S. former President George W. Bush, his Vice President and his Minister of Defense. The museum is located near Saddam Hussein's Baghdad clock and close to the presidential palace and is located in the region currently renamed the Green Zone. Saddam Hussein used to visit this museum occasionally and the very valuable gifts offered to him by Arab and foreign countries cannot be estimated in money alone.

Yes, that is you America and Americans. Plunderers, thieves, looters, rapists, torturers, criminal murderers...

VILE, VILE, VILE.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM OCCUPIED IRAQ

2009-10-23T00:50:00.015+03:00

Managed to get hold of some alternative Iraqi sat TVs namely Al-Rafidain, Ar-Rai, Al Babeliya which I have mentioned before. I made it a point to watch some of the news on these channels as they cover events that are totally blacked out in the mainstream media, including the Arabic speaking ones.

1) The Iraqi Resistance under its different factions

Several resistance activities against the Occupier namely in Kirkuk, where one US patrol came under attack . Same in Mosul. Two days ago, another US patrol under attack in El Anbar province, and in North of Baghdad. Today another US patrol came under fire in Falluja, and several mortar bombs fell on the US airbase in Nasseriya. I must add that all the above were successful operations. US commander Odierno in Baghdad admitted that there has been a upsurge of Resistance activities in the past week.

2) Elections

A deliberate stalemate provoked by the puppet government and its Shiite parties.
Several issues : a) the debate around the open/closed list. This latter is favored by the sectarian government as it will ensure another round of victory in the upcoming elections. b) the refusal of the Shiite parties to allow Iraqi refugees to vote, again to ensure its victory in the upcoming elections. c) Kirkuk. Much haggling is around Kirkuk which the Kurds insist to turn into another province under the so called Kurdistan regional government. Hence the possibility of the elections being postponed and consequently the deferral of US troop withdrawal is very likely.

According to several Iraqi analysts, Iran is playing a very important role in the current election deadlock through the Shiite parties and the U.S is concerned that the initial agenda it invaded Iraq with remains as is -- i.e the partition along ethnic and sectarian lines. Hence the likelihood of having the same sectarian faces re-appear in post election Iraq (if they take place at all) are a very likely happening.

3) Oil and other resources

A member of congress by the name of Paul Perkins ? (am now told the exact name is Boone Pickens) has presented a bill demanding that a share of Iraqi oil revenues be automatically allocated to the US for its "liberation effort", to cover the costs of the war, also arguing that the death of U.S soldiers in Iraq (5'000), and the trillion of dollars spent in invading and occupying Iraq had to be reimbursed one way or another.

Kuwait is still claiming 40 billion dollars in reparations and now the US is claiming its lion share of Iraqi oil revenues for "reparations" as well, since American oil companies did not get the full desired quota in Iraq. In other words there are claims being made for an Iraqi financing of the American war industry, to cover the American bill of occupations both in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, apart from oil, the Anbar province, according to some analysts comprises important minerals, still unexplored, one of which is phosphate which can produce uranium and also red mercury amongst others...

Prior to the occupation, Iraq was more or less self sufficient in its industry and agriculture, today Iraq relies solely on imports of goods namely from Iran. Another example that can be taken as a measurement yardstick just to show the extent of Iraq's economic dependency since 2003 - Iraq used to have 30 million date palms, today it imports dates from Iran and the Gulf countries !

The deliberate destruction of Iraq's economic and industrial infrastructure is meant to keep Iraq as a satellite province, another banana or pistachio republic, another Dubai, an open arena for vulture foreign investments, in particular American and Iranian.

4) The Israeli connection

A bill of law has been passed in the Iraqi parliament authorizing companies that were previously banned due to their (direct/indirect) connection to the Zionist state to become operational again in Iraq. This is most evident in the so-called Kurdistan were several Israeli companies are operating as tourism, industrial and real estate. Israelis have already "visited" other parts of Iraq, namely in the South and some reports confirm that they have also purchased land there and in Baghdad.

Furthermore, while there is much media brouhaha around the so called US troop withdrawal, there is a total failure in mentioning the American "logistic" bases which will remain in Iraq and the largest US embassy in the world, in Baghdad.

On that subject, an article appeared in the Zionist newspaper, Yehodot Aranot,(can't spell those bloody names correctly), stating that the U.S embassy in Baghdad is to employ 185 Israeli advisers, for its running/management of Iraq.

The Israeli model for the West Bank is much sought by the Americans i.e a military occupation with a handing out of the Civil administration functions/matters to the puppet government (as in the model of the West Bank and the PA). Coincidentally I watched Amira Hass (the Haaretz journalist) on the Riz Khan show, and she did affirm that Israeli "advisers" are much sought worldwide for "security matters"

I have the full article in Arabic, if anyone cares to translate the whole thing into English please contact me via Twitter.

5) A message to Iraqis with a conscience left.

If you have a relatively good command of the English language and no, it does not need to be perfect, I urge you to do something for your country, instead of sitting on your backsides engaging in nonsensical drivel on the Internet. There is much that needs to be done in English. I can't do it alone anymore. Please contact me via Twitter. And thanks in advance.

RAPE - A Weapon of MASCULINE Wars.

2009-10-22T15:19:00.005+03:00

Same happened in Iraq by armed Shiite militias from Iran and by US occupying forces. Not much coverage in our case...They kept it hush hush. Love's collaboration between the US and Iran obliges... FILTH.

Rape in Iraq has now become endemic. Hail "Liberation"

You can read the rest and watch the Video HERE. Rape as a Weapon in the Congo. A very important and heart wrenching video.

How can any man watch this and not feel shame and disgust with his own gender ????

MOSUL- BREAKING NEWS.

2009-10-21T22:54:00.002+03:00

I received this from a very reliable and trustworthy source. Many thanks to Abu R. for the top notch translation.

BREAKING NEWS

NEW INFORMATION REVEALS THAT IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS PARTICIPATED IN THE MOSUL RAIDS THAT LEAD TO THE ARRESTS OF FORMER OFFICERS OF THE DISBANDED IRAQI ARMY AND OTHER PATRIOTIC NATIONALS.

From MOSLAWI SON OF IRAQ,

Sources have confirmed new details regarding the participation of units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the latest raids in Mosul and the province of Salah Al-Deen which lead to the capture of officers of the former Iraqi army, Ba'athists, and other national leaders. The participating units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were commanded by a high ranking commander of the Iranian revolutionary guard named Akbar Wahidi who was operating out of the Iranian embassy in Baghdad. The raids were coordinated with Nouri Al-Maliki and unfolded as follows

1) The commander of the unit which lead the arrests was commanded by the traitor Ali Omran who was trained in Iran and is a known member of the treasonous Dawa Party.

2) The Iraqi forces participating were formed of 100 members of the current Iraqi Army, and 100 members of the national guard all commanded by Ali Omran. There faces were hidden and they were carrying pictures and names of former officers of the disbanded Iraqi army and Baathists which were provided by the Iranians.

3) Sources also confirmed Iranian instructions to the collaborating Maliki was to cast a wide net and make widespread arrests of innocent civilians to be later released under the guise of insufficient evidence they were involved in "terror" activities. This scheme was designed to provide cover for the arrests of the wanted officers of the disbanded Iraqi army.

4) We urge all national and satelite media to provide extensive coverage of these developments and protect the lives of those captured before they are taken to Iran and killed or killed in Iraq itself. We hold the occupying power fully responsible for all the actions of the occupation government and any harm that may come to the captured Iraqi nationals.

Reading Blues...

2009-10-20T01:23:00.007+03:00

I said to myself - girl, you need a break from this bloody computer...so I switched on the TV, I wish I hadn't.

There was a very short documentary on Al-Babeliya Iraqi Sat TV on the state of the schools in Baghdad, its suburbs and in some of the villages...

Good God, I could not believe my eyes !

What happened to our schools ? What happened to the Iraq that UNESCO gave a prize to for offering one of the best educational systems in the Middle East ? What happened to us ?

I had not seen it so bad. Not even during the sanction years when even pencils were forbidden...

There is no more education in Iraq. That is the blatant truth.

The short documentary filmed a couple of schools, I was aghast. There are no more playgrounds, the schools are littered with garbage, there is absolutely no water, there is no electricity, the windows are all broken, there are no toilets, the schools are totally dilapidated. Some schools did not even have a blackboard !

On average in one classroom alone, there are between 70 to 80 students. I saw them sitting 5 on one bench !!!! 5 kids aged between 8-10 sitting on one single class bench fit for 2 !

They interviewed one student, he couldn't have been more than 10 years old. He amazed me with his awareness and lucidity. He said to the cameraman :

" Look at us, just look at us. Look at our school, its walls, look at the garbage. We don't even have water to drink. We don't even have books ! We don't even have stationery. Go tell the Minister of Education sitting on his big fat chair, that we have nothing. "

Then some teachers were interviewed and they said that there are in fact no books. One book is shared by 15 students. And they added that even pencils are bought on the black market. They added those students were too poor to buy books.

In the past during the reign of Saddam Hussein, all schooling was subsidized and free of charge, including books and stationery even during the embargo imposed upon us by the barbarian world.

Now 15 students have to share one book and they don't even have pencils or blackboards or notepads. I can't believe it !!!!

There is more...

The Ministry of "Education" who is run by the Shiite parties, is known to forge diplomas for teachers.

Since the occupation of Iraq hundreds of teachers have been either killed or have fled the country.

This ministry of Ignorance forges diplomas and hands them out to its Shiite members who for the most part have not even finished secondary schooling.

One such teacher, a woman, backed by both the ministry of Education and one of the influential Shiite parties in the South, was posted in several schools...she ended up in Basra, teaching a subject she knew nothing about. Over and above her ignorance and forged diploma, this teacher supposedly suffered from serious psychological problems. She was very abusive to her students.

As a result, during last semester's exam and it was during Ramadan, this teacher sadistically promised to fail her teenage female students, their age was 14-15.
And she did.

Suicide is not in our customs or traditions, however tragic our lives can become. But and this is a first, 28 female students aged 14-15 committed a collective suicide by swallowing poison, due to the severe mental and psychological abuse of this teacher.

The ministry of education refused to comment and the school administration is powerless to have this teacher removed because she belongs to one of those Shiite shit parties.

On another note but still related, only last week, the Shiite puppet Nouri Al-Maliki ordered the shutting down of Al Munstanseerya University, one of the leading universities in Baghdad, because the students had certain basic demands concerning the running of their university and organized themselves into a student's union. The university was shut down !

It is all too clear to me, that America and Great Britain, completely destroyed Iraq and put in place those sectarian Shiite ignorant criminal thugs affiliated to Iran, to continue the process of destruction on a generational span. Meaning, to make sure that Iraq never raises its head again. And one of the ways to achieve their evil goal is through the educational system and in our case - its total destruction.

I can never hate you enough.

FULL OF SHIT.

2009-10-19T04:44:00.002+03:00

I tell you something, Americans are so full of shit. Really, truly...

They are up to their heads in shit. Shit ideas, shit concepts, shit rationalizations, shit excuses, shit everything...

It smells and it smells BAD.

I have watched and read hundreds of articles on torture, in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gitmo - your favorite sea side resort.

And each time, I keep reading, hearing the same shit phrases that crop up again and again...

Here are, for the most part...NO, for all parts, innocent people arrested, imprisoned with no trial by those dickheads called Americans. And each and every single time, the same phraseology comes up - "sleep deprivation, enhanced interrogation techniques, stress positions "...

The guy has been literally fucked, had his penis chopped off, been drowned in shit and water, pissed upon in his mouth, hung from his wrists, electrocuted in his genitals, bitten by dogs, made to stand up for weeks, stripped naked in extreme temperatures, been subjected to 1000000 watts of shit American music, punched, beaten, insulted, humiliated, spat upon, had his family threatened and in some instances arrested, fed morsels of stale food like some stray dog, prevented from going to the toilet, prohibited from washing for months on end, and more and more...and all those pedantic American shits come up with and talk about are "enhanced interrogation techniques"

What fucking "enhanced interrogation techniques" and what fucking "waterboarding" ?
You're well beyond that assholes.

Honestly and truly, I have never come across a people so full of shit like the Americans...all of them and without exception.

Vultures & Pistachios...

2009-10-17T02:37:00.044+03:00

Ammar El-Hakeem with Ahmadinejad during his latest visit to Tehran

Ammar El-Hakeem with Ayatollah Rafsandjani during same visit to Tehran

Sectarian Shiite thugs greeted by Ayatollah Pistachios

The Shiite psychopath J.Al-Sagheer in white turban with Ammar El-Hakeem and President of Pistachios Republic

When I say birds of Shiite feathers flock together, I know what am talking about and you don't.

I know because I receive daily news about the micmacs and machinations of this herd, with a handful of exceptions. And even then, am not too sure about the exception. Of course, here I am talking about political leaders or men of power...and not about the people. But even then, am not too sure...because as I said before, the influence of the Marjaeeya and Hawza, the Shiite theological councils and schools of learning in Iraq, are so much under the iron grip and ideological influence of Iran, that only rare and secular Iraqi Shias fit the bill of the "exceptional case".

It is more and more apparent that the Iraqi occupation is no longer an American affair but an Iranian one. And the deeper the U.S gets itself in the Afghan/Pakistan quagmire, the greater the Iranian final hold on good chunks of Iraq will be...

If you fail to understand that very simple equation, then sorry to tell you, but you qualify to be called a bunch of dumb asses. And dumb asses should not meddle in politics nor write articles. Got it ?

Now, for tonight's topic, I will give you brief news from Iranian Shiastan Iraq.

- First some BREAKING NEWS : Al-Maliki's son in law - who is an IRANIAN with a long Iranian name I could not memorize by heart, was caught in Dubai airport SMUGGLING IRAQI ANTIQUITIES. A "high level" delegation was promptly sent to the UAE to settle this affair discreetly. Well it is no longer discreet, now.

- Ammar Al-Hakeem, of the SCII, head of the Shiite death squad the Badr militia and one of the biggest oil smugglers to Iran was in Tehran meeting with Ayatollah Pistachios (Rafsandjani) and Ahmadinejad, president of the Pistachio republic.

Those two vultures assured Al-Hakeem who was accompanied by a herd of Shiite thugs, one of whom is another cleric by the name of J.Al-Sagheer (will get back to this psychopath later on) they assured him that

* the "security" of Iraq is the "security" of Iran, since these two countries are "intimately intertwined and share a common fate and common interests "

* that they are counting on him and on his new Shiite alliance (the Hakeem, Jaafari, Sadr alliance) to "eradicate all forms of ideologies of mass genocide" referring to the Baath and to promote the only true Islam - Shi'ism.

* that Iraq and Iran share the same sect ideology (aqeeda) and this ideological tie will be strengthened even further...

- As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, the greatest majority of the Iraqi puppets, members of parliament - like 99% of them, carry DUAL nationalities. The majority of those dual nationality carriers are Iraqi/Iranians. Some have three nationalities, Iraqi, Iranian and American/British. Maliki himself has three nationalities - Iranian/Syrian/Iraqi.
The head of the Mukhabarrat - secret intelligence, carries a British/Iraqi nationality. Al-Jaafari also called Ibraheem Fasanjoon, carries an Iranian/Iraqi/British nationality. Muqtada Al-Sadr the Chief driller, carries an Iranian/Iraqi nationality. Muwafak Al-Rubaie whose real Iranian name is Karim Shapour carries an Iranian/Iraqi/British nationality. Eyad Allawi, Bremer's puppet carries a British/Iraqi nationality. H.Zebari carries a British/Iraqi nationality. The Sistani family of the not so grand Ayatollah and his in laws, carry an Iranian/British/Iraqi nationality. Ditto for Al-Khoei family. And the Hakeems, a dual Iranian/Iraqi nationality so does the Shiite psychopath J.Al-Sagheer with an Iranian/Iraqi nationality and so on and so forth...I can't enumerate all of them for you and I can't keep on repeating myself either.

So in the latest IRANIAN elections, all those Iraqi MP's with an Iranian passport voted in Iran's election. Just as these "Iraqi" Shiite puppets gave well over 2 million Iraqi passports and ID cards to Iranians so they could come and vote in the so-called Iraqi elections.

So with the upcoming Iraqi "elections", some MP's were interviewed. And those with a dual Iranian/Iraqi nationality, expressed in no uncertain terms, and in particular the psychopath cleric J.Al-Sagheer, that they are against and am quoting word for word - " the 4.5 million Iraqis in exile since 2003, to participate in the upcoming election." The baloney reason given was " to preserve the fairness and transparency of the elections and avoid fraud." The real reason is that the greatest majority of those in exile are SUNNIS and CHRISTIANS. And those Shiite thugs want to make sure that no electoral voice tilts the final outcome in the opposite direction i.e AWAY from Shiite sectarian power.

Now you're probably wondering why am calling J.Al-Sagheer a psychopath. Well his Friday sermons are numerous on youtube along with his Fatwas to kill every Sunni with impunity and no remorse, since as per his words they (the Sunnis) are "najiss" - dirty and polluting. And in one of those Friday sermons he said and am quoting word for word "I am telling you, you don't need a Fatwa from me or from anyone else. Go ahead and kill the impure ones, it is no sin for you to do so. And on the day of judgment, wipe your deeds on my neck..." an Arabic expression meaning - I will absolve you.

- a rather interesting interview on Al-Babeliya Iraqi sat T.V was conducted with an Arab Iraqi Shia head of a Southern Tribe. He clearly denounced the Iranian presence in Iraq, however he urged Shiite Iraqis to abide by the not-so great Ayatollah Sistani's (the Iranian) whose one son in law is none but the Shahrestani, (ministry of oil), to abide by the "open list" in the upcoming elections. This Tribal Sheikh from the South said he would favor and encourage his tribal folks to vote for a secular alliance hoping that S. Al-Mutlaq of the National Dialogue Front (what dialogue?) and Eyad Allawi form a common bloc. Otherwise, he and his rather large tribe will join the electoral process as an independent party.

- since am on the subject of Sistani and his family. You may wish to read a bit more on his saintliness, his eminence, the "ayat" (sign) from Allah, the Ayatollah.

A new mini Mullastan has been formed in London, out of all places. Not surprisingly.
This mini Shiastan/Mullastan address is Brondesbury Park, London, NW6.

After pillaging and plundering Ali Baba's cave, those Iraqi Mullahs and their families and off springs, the pious ones from Qum, purchased and keep on purchasing mansions in their new London's mulllastan.

A few names : Al-Khoei family, Al-Najafi, Al-Dabbagh (one of Maliki's men). This latter paid 29 million dollars for the purchase of some commercial estates on Edgware Road. London.

Now Brondesbury Park is experiencing a boom with the following new Iraqi acquisitions by Muntazar Al-Kashmeeri and Mohamed Jawad Al-Sharestani - both, not so grand Ayatollah Sistani's,sons in law.

Al Kashmeeri lately acquired a villa in the same neighborhood, for a "small" sum of 6 million dollars. Al Sharestani, the other son in law, bought another villa on the same street, no.75 to be precise for the sum of 4 Million dollars. But it does not stop here...

The daughter of Ayatollah Sistani has also become a real estate entrepreneur in London's mullastan. She too bought a luxurious apartment not too far from her current one, Abbey Road, St.Johns Wood for the sum of 1.7 million dollars.

The rest of the info on the thieves of Baghdad in Arabic can be found here.

I think I will stop here for tonight with Sistani's family, alone. The pious one from Qum, the Iranian Ayatollah of Nejaf and Kerbala, the head of the Iraqi Shiite Hawza and Shiite Marjaeeya, the well wisher for the invader, the charlatan, the British/Iranian agent, Ayatollah Sistani, may God preserve his shadow and his pistachios.

So what do you make of all the above ? What do you make of those vultures and their filthy networks and mafias ? What does that tell you about Iran in Iraq ? What does that tell you about Iran and the U.S ?

What does it tell you about the empty "anti-imperialist, anti-zionist" slogans from the "Islamic" Republic, the slogans akin to Fustok fadhee - empty pistachios.

Some of you are nodding your heads and the great majority of you are still swallowing whole, the Fustok fadhee -- the empty pistachios...

Nouri Al-Maliki's Curriculum Vitae.

2009-10-15T03:23:00.037+03:00

This may not be novelty for some of you, but I thought I'd refresh your memories...

Listen am not inventing the stuff, am just translating what appeared on a serious Iraqi website .

Someone already wrote an expose of N. Al-Maliki, Iraqi PM's past, in 2007 and you can read it here.

Jawad Al-Ali aka Nouri Al-Maliki personal resume in bold, the rest is mine including whenever you see a "Ze" and in (...)

Diplomas : Personally involved in blowing up the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut and in assassinating senior Palestinian leaders in Ze Lebanon.

This is Al-Maliki :

1- Was in the armed command of the Dawa party, and was personally involved in the criminal murdering of several people.

2- was personally involved in the blowing up of the Iraqi Embassy in Beirut.

3 - Was a member of the "lovers of Hussein" in the 80's in Ze Lebanon. "Lovers of Hussein" was a death squad affiliated to Ze Lebanese Shiite party called Amal.
"Lovers of Hussein" death squad was under the command of Dawud Dawud (a double David)
and followed the immediate orders from the ultimate sectarian Nabih Berri (still head of Amal in Ze Lebanon) and was responsible for the settling of accounts, liquidating and murdering the Palestinian leaders of the PLO in 1982 (during harb al mukhayamat - the war of the camps), the Palestinian leaders and cadres who were resisting the Zionist occupation of Ze Lebanon.

4 - this criminal terrorist's mission (Al-Maliki's) was concluded in his personal involvement in the siege and genocide of the Palestinian camps in Ze Lebanon in the mid 80's.

On that day, the late President Saddam Hussein after consulting with the late Yasser Arafat contacted Michel Aoun and gave him phenomenal sums of money (today's Hezbollah ally) so he may agree to smuggle the content of a whole ship (financed by Iraq) to the port of Jounieh (a then enclave of Ze Lebanese Christians), containing full shipments of arms, food and medical stuff, to the Palestinians. This changed the equation on the battle ground and thus saved thousands of Palestinians from perishing at the hands of the sectarians and prevented their mass genocide.

5 - the terrorist Al-Maliki was head of the "Haidar" group, a cell within the " Lovers of Hussein" subgroup, affiliated to Amal Shiite Party from Ze Lebanon.
This particular cell was known to be the bloodiest and most murderous of all in regards to the Palestinians in Ze Lebanese camps. This cell consisted of over 150 members, most of whom were IRANIANS and all were members of the DAWA party.

6 - this terrorist cell murdered over 50 Palestinian Resistance fighters, officers in the PLO. The Palestinian Fedayeen/Muqawama was able to fight a majority of them off and force them into running away to....(Syria and Iran like the cowards that they are) and one of them was Al-Maliki.

At that time, the PLO was in possession of several recorded tapes filled with whole testimonies from those captured murderers belonging to the Al-Maliki cell. Copies of those tapes were then handed to the previous government in Iraq.

The Americans made the right choice in choosing Al-Maliki, the killer of the Iraqis and Palestinians.

Now we know why the Iraqi flag was not raised when Al-Maliki visited Tehran.

My comments :

A bit of historical information is necessary here.

Amal is a Lebanese Shiite party still led by Nabih Berri.

Hezbollah is an offshoot from Amal. The Iranians at that time felt that Amal was not radical and armed enough.

The "Iraqi" Dawa party is an offshoot from Amal and by correlation from Hezbollah. Was formed and funded in Iran and nurtured in Syria.

To make it simple for you - Birds of Shiite feathers, flock together....Sectarianism and anti- Arabism and anti-Palestinian(ism) is their hallmark despite and in spite of the rhetoric.

So, dear "anti-Zionists", dear " angry Arab" jerks, dear "Palestinians", may you find Maliki's CV useful should you wish to hire him in the future...after the Iraqi elections that is.

Since you are so besotted with Mother Iran and since you've become so amnesic, I thought I'd facilitate your recruitment task...

Yalla, mash'Allah, don't want to give you the evil eye on your wonderful political stands.

Never mind, political opportunity and opportunism oblige and go hand in hand...

Flowers, Candies & Tumors...

2009-10-12T23:25:00.008+03:00

That was the deal. You greet us with flowers and candies and we will greet you with D.U, napalm and neutron bombs...

This may be news to you, but all kinds of weapons were tested in Iraq by the demoniacal terrorists called the Americans. Depleted Uranium is the most "famous" one.

D.U was used during "Desert Storm", may wrathful storms engulf you. And it was used during "Operation Freedom".

Napalm was used in Falluja and Mosul.

According to fellow MDs, they are convinced that neutron bombs were also used (for those of you who don't know, neutron bombs are a limited range nuclear mini explosions that carbonize people and leave buildings intact). According to them, those were used in 2003, in the battle for Baghdad, namely around Baghdad's airport. Fellow MDs said that the corpses they saw in ER on one particular day, were no longer corpses, they were not even burnt, like in napalm, they were simply disintegrated like and I quote "a handful of sand".

While, the sectarian Shiite puppet government is busy plundering and pimping for Iran,

While the numbed out, dumb assholes called American "people ?" are busy checking out the latest released single from Michael Jackson and Paris Hilton new hairdo,

While the filthy English are busy getting plastered on beers and cheers,

While the U.N and its "specialized" agencies are busy snoring in the corridors of silence

While environmental NGOs are busy saving another penguin in Antarctica...

While ...

Tumors are multiplying in Iraq, at a vertiginous rate...sparing none.

The video, below, by Al-Jazeera English, even though quite disappointing for pleasing Iran and its puppet proxies, with its endless twists and so-called objective reporting and final conclusion,(you will need to watch it carefully in particular the interview with the second doctor, to see what I mean) is still a must watch.

There have been hundred of reports on D.U and its effects. What will it take -- you complacent, complicit, evil bastards ? What will it take ?

I tell you what it will take.

It will take what your gangster, mafia, criminal, piece of shit Bremer said when he asked : " What is the population of Iraq " and someone replied "around 24 million." To which Bremer said " Bring it down to 5 million that should be sufficient."

It will take what your filthy democrat Madeleine Allbright said "half a million Iraqi children dead ? - the price was well worth it"

It will take what your CIA agent Charles Duelfer said " 1.5 million Iraqi dead ? The Iraqis will get over it."

What those filthy, depraved Americans were saying, is that it will take a continuous genocide...And D.U is just a continuation of your genocide.

Tomorrow, if the whole of America and not so great Britain croak from a million tumors, I will have zero empathy.

You can all go to hell. The same hell we have been living.

Synopsis.

Doctors in Iraq are recording a shocking rise in the number of cancer victims south of Baghdad. Sufferers in the province of Babil have risen by almost tenfold in just three years.

Locals blame depleted uranium from US military equipment used in the 2003 invasion. But the link has been difficult to prove, prompting them to demand an investigation.

In this part of Iraq 500 cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2004. That figure rose to almost 1,000 two years later.

In 2008, the number of cases increased sevenfold to 7,000 diagnoses. This year, there have so far been more than 9,000 new cases ... and the number is rising.

STOP THE TRAFFICKING OF IRAQI CHILDREN !

2009-10-12T03:12:00.005+03:00

J. has just arrived from Baghdad. We spent many hours talking. Too many stories...

But the most IMPORTANT one is this :

According to official figures for 2009 alone (and God only knows what the unofficial figures are) 270 Iraqi kids reported missing.

Missing because they have been KIDNAPPED FOR RANSOMS and parents can't afford to pay.

Missing because SOLD

Missing because TRAFFICKED to unknown destinations.

Missing because found DEAD, after their ORGANS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR BODIES.

IRAQ NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE 2003.

STOP, STOP, STOP,

STOP THE TRAFFICKING OF IRAQI CHILDREN !

Change of Tactics in Afghanistan.

2009-10-11T14:45:00.002+03:00

Good God what a weird dream I had...

Here I was minding my own business, and a commanding voice out of nowhere ordered :

Follow the chain of command

What chain of command ?

The US chain of command.

Me ???

And before I could voice my utter refusal, I saw a pyramid, not your ordinary pyramid, but a strange looking pyramid, that had no clear forms, made of orders, codes, names kept secret, and dark skin looking people...

At the top of this formless pyramid was an American soldier, and at the bottom of this formless pyramid was a suicide bomber...

And it was explained to me in this very weird dream.

There is going to be a major change of strategy/tactics in Afghanistan.

I am not Madame Soleil, the famous clairvoyant, so I was given headlines only...but no dates.

- The pitting of locals against locals.
- the use of outsiders who know locals quite well
- the extensive use of local suicide bombers against the Talibans and people sympathetic to them.

And then in this weird dream I was shown something else, totally unrelated...I saw American soldiers dressed in civilians, like some NGO, engaging in nation building, providing leisure centers for locals, etc....

And the dream sensing that I understood nothing explained it to me. It said, they will appear as building the nation, so who can point the finger at them when they (the locals) start killing one another ?

I woke up startled, then I remembered Iraq. Is that not what happened there ?

Then suddenly all those sentences I have been reading made sense to me.

- McChrystal : We need to consider unconventional methods of warfare

- Code Pink/Anti war : if the troops withdraw, they will be civil war.

- Iran : we congratulate Obama and we hope that he will end injustice in the world...

Hey, don't read much into it, it was just a dream. But forewarned is forearmed.

Where are OUR Human Rights ?

2009-10-09T21:22:00.021+03:00

Six years on and I am still, always, shocked by what I observe around me...

My mind cannot comprehend how is it possible for any human being to be subjected on a daily basis to violations of basic human rights, and not get angry and enraged.

The West in general and the Americans and their slave boys the English, in particular, expect you to take it, unconditionally, and mum's the word.

You are not to express, vent, argue, debate, point the finger, criticize, insult, denounce... any of the crimes perpetrated by these people, their governments and their countries.

You are expected to be able to differentiate between governments and its people, you are expected not to fight back, you are expected not to protect yourself, you are expected to rise above it all and be an example of good will and peace.

How can that be ?

How can that be ?

If any American or English motherfucker, is daily subjected to arrests, bombs, endless stories of rape and torture of his/her own people by an outside group, if these motherfuckers are made into refugees, left with nothing, if they lost their homes, their families, their loved ones, their belongings, their incomes, how would these bastards react ? This is what I want to know and witness...

Would they still come and preach about good will and peace ?

Why is it, that this kind of ideological subservience, acquiescence, compliance, is expected from us ?

I tell you why, because deep down those bastards see us as third class citizens of the world that need to gulp it all down and be grateful...they see you and I as sub-human. That is why.

I am still shocked with the deliberate, willful, mental thickness of the West and of the Americans and English in particular, with their refusal to be personally held accountable...yes personally held accountable for the immense violence, brutality, theft, misery and grief that were inflicted and still are, on innocent peoples and countries, be it in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere...

I am still shocked by the fact that you people can actually sleep every night knowing full well that you and your governments have committed the most atrocious crimes in modern history on innocent peoples and countries.

That is why every time I hear one of you bastards speak of Freedom, Democracy and Human Rights, I am taken by this urge to spit on your collective faces.

I am still shocked by the extent of your Immorality and lack of Conscience. I am still shocked by your lies, I am still shocked by how deceitful you are.

You and your governments have put the most reactionary, sectarian, tyrannical, corrupt government in place in Iraq and you still have the audacity to come and talk of good will, peace and human rights !

You and your governments have stripped Afghans of anything called a basic right, pushed them into the deepest abyss of poverty, neglect, abandonment, bombed the shit out of an already poor country, made thousands destitute and killed thousands and trafficked some of them and you still have the fucking audacity to come and talk of good will, peace and human rights !

My mind can no longer comprehend and absorb anymore of that...Someone pinch me and tell me it is not true.

Video no.4 out of 6 - A must watch all of them. The rest can be viewed HERE.

Arabs & Muslims versus Nobel Peace Prize.

2009-10-09T16:40:00.002+03:00

A few reactions from Arabs and Muslims regarding Oboma's being bestowed the Nobel Peace Prize.

- Palestine : "Obama has a long way to go still and lots of work to do before he can deserve a reward," "Obama only made promises and did not contribute any substance to world peace. And he has not done anything to ensure justice for the sake of Arab and Muslim causes."

- Iraq : "He doesn't deserve this prize. All these problems -- Iraq, Afghanistan -- have not been solved...The man of 'change' hasn't changed anything yet."

- Pakistan : "an embarrassing joke."

- Afghanistan : "The Nobel prize for peace? Obama should have won 'the Nobel Prize for escalating violence and killing civilians'."

Yep.

Le Pissoir...

2009-10-09T00:33:00.026+03:00

Pissoir is the French word for a public urinal.

I am not trying to be a snob or anything, but could not find the equivalent in English.

And why do I have to explain myself linguistically, when you have been pissing on us, literally speaking.

You as in England, G.B, U.K, whatever the fuck you want to call yourselves...

Listen, I have nothing against the English per se, apart from their lousy food. You can't consider mushy peas, Cornish pasties, pork pies as food. Can you now ?

Got nothing against you folks. Apart from your lousy cockney and/or, plum stuck up in ass, accent...

Got nothing against you folks, apart from the fact that you're such a bunch of political hypocrites behind your "detached" facades of stiff upper lip.

Got nothing against you folks, apart from the fact for your Commonwealth and Her Majesty are still bestowing favors on the subjects...

You guys amuse me. I like your sense of humor and your grace to grass empire delusions.

Grace to grass was a term given to me by an African friend. One from one of your former colonies, who was not at all amused...

Honestly now, why are you people so bent on making fools of yourselves ? And me who thought that, compared to the Americans, you are a fairly educated bunch...the educated bunch from the old world.

Why are you so bent on farting higher than your collective asses ? Beg you pardon, meant arses, as in the correct English pronunciation.

Frankly, you've been smacked so many times in history. By the Iraqis and Arabs, by the Indians, by the Africans...Why are you so adamant about being trashed ?

Because trashed is what you have been. And what you will be.

Look at the Americans and the rest of your European buddies trash you.

Look at how hated you are in the rest of the world.

Here in the Arab world, whenever someone mentions an "Inglezee", (an English "person") it is almost always followed by "Kiss emm el Ingleez".

I am sorry I can't translate "kiss emm el Ingleez" for you, it is a very impolite word and am such a good, docile Muslim, Arab, Iraqi woman...Maybe your office for Foreign Affairs can translate it for you.

Honestly, am not trying to be nasty or anything...I am following objective policy guidelines, a bit like the BBC, and doing objective impartial reporting. And am afraid to report that every time your names are mentioned it is followed by "kiss emm El-Ingleez".

They call you here "rass el hayeh" - the viper's head.

You know why, right ? Because you have no personality left. You are slaves to the Americans...after you taught them the art...

Ya Allah, what a shame...you are not even mentioned or thanked as being the good perverted Victorian nannies that you are.

Listen, I have nothing against English folks. I love scones and cream...I love Eric Clapton and the Beatles...and Fish & Chips, soaking in toilet paper news...I really do.

I love eating curry from the "Commonwealth". In Southall, Brixton and the rest...I love the fact that you are colonized by "foreigners".

But do you really have to piss on us ?

After all, we've built your railroads, your industries, your infrastructure...we the subjects from the Commonwealth. We, the "common" wealth "belonging" to Mother England.

Listen, I am one of those annoying "subjects".

I am past 40 and have just about seen it all...

No, have seen it all.

I have seen you pouring beer in your shoes and drinking from them saying -- cheers.

I have seen you soaking yourself once a fortnight in a bath, leaving grime and grease behind, all the while complaining how dirty we are...

I have seen you not recognizing a geographical location on a map...

I have seen you, farting higher than your asses, desperately trying to play Glubb Pasha again...

I have seen your sun stroked shrimp colored men and women...talking down to the "native" teaching him/her...

I have seen your plum in the ass/arse accent disappear with a few drinks...

I have seen you...

I, the incognito Iraqi woman, have seen you.

Now, do you really need to piss on/in us, knowing what a public urinal- pissoir, you collectively have become and are?

Excuse me, I had a bit wee much to drink...can I piss on you now ?

Oh, thank you. I was sure you would love it.

IRAQ'S ORPHANS - APPEAL.

2009-10-06T14:54:00.018+03:00

Fellow Iraqi blogger Wafaa' Al-Natheema, will be on her second round of fund raising campaign for Iraqi orphans.

For those of you who live in the U.S, it would be great it you can join her in her fund raising walk or make a donation and spread the word...For those outside the U.S you still can make a donation for Iraq's orphans.

This is the least you can do for the 5 Million Iraqi orphans since 2003, year of Iraq's "liberation".

Thanks for your support.

I am publishing her appeal below as well as all the contact details.

In four days, I will begin my walk to Vermont again on the weekend of October 9-12 to raise funds for Iraqi orphans, who have been living in dire conditions since the occupation began in April 2003, and very few have addressed the crises including and especially the media.

I keep receiving tens and tens of emails and articles about the disgraceful acts of government officials and about the abuse or theft of Iraqi oil and artifacts, but rarely about the abuse of Iraqi children of whom hundreds are put in jails and
tortured by the USA forces, and who have been suffering from unprecedented trafficking! More details about the disturbing and alarming conditions of Iraqi children can be found HERE

I hope you can participate in this worthy cause in any way you can.
For those who can not join me to walk, you can help in the following ways:

1. Make a donation wherever you are in the world using the convenient
on-line and very simple form. If hundred people donated each $10, we will be very close to reaching our target. To make a donation, please click HERE

So far, we have raised $550 or 20%. With your support, we will reach our goal by October 15.

2. Provide free accomodation in some of the towns I will be passing bye or help me find a reasonable place. Or better alert me to camp grounds in the towns at which I will stop (see list of towns below). I hope to hear from you by Thursday afternoon.

3. Meet me at any point in my walk to hand donation, for moral support or to publicize the walkathon and its cause in your publication/on Internet. If you wish to meet me during my walk, please email me soon to provide you with my tel. number while walking.

4. It will be very helpful if I slept on Thursday evening in Cambridge, so if you have any place to stay there, I appreciate hearing from you. Because I live an hour a way from Cambridge, it will be inconvenient to drive early morning on Friday to Cambridge.

If you wish to join me in the walk and don't want your name to be published, please let me know. I understand your reluctance. But let me know by Thursday, October 8 in the morning.

I will be walking on Rt. 2A west from Cambridge into Rt. 119 passing by the
following towns:

Cambridge, Belmont, Concord, West Concord, N. Acton, Littleton, Groton, Townsend, Squantom, Jaffry, (in Massachusetts), East and West Rindge, New Ipswich, Marlborough, Keene, Spofford, W. Chester Field (in New Hampshire) and then ending in Putney, Vermont.

Please alert me to any camp grounds and/or free or reasonable accommodation in Mass. between Groton and Townsend as well as in New Hampshire around East and West Rindge or New Ipswich, I will be grateful. I intend to walk about 25 miles per day.

Wishing You a peaceful and Joyful Autumn,

News Bulletin from " Liberated & Democratic" Iraq.

2009-10-06T02:13:00.003+03:00

Brief news here.

- As predicted the wave of arrests has spread, after Mosul and Tikrit, to Anbar, Diyala, Abu Ghraib and Baghdad. No numbers given.

- In Kirkuk mounting violent attacks against the Christian community. The archbishop L.Zakho has made yet another appeal for government protection and he said " We have no militias like the government parties to protect us. Is this violent intimidation happening to scare us off and force us into exile ? "

- Mosul and rest of the Nineveh province. What Roads to Iraq reported on that matter is correct. Those arrested were businessmen, tribal sheikhs and academics.

In an interview with some of the heads of the Mosul tribes, the following was said.

" We condemn strongly this SECTARIAN attack on the people of Mosul and we ask for all detainees to be released immediately."

Moreover, demonstrations took place in Mosul following the arrests and demands were made for an inquiry on the assault (rape) by three police forces on a girl whose age does not exceed 14, during those arrests.

- Now for the evening joke. Al-Jaafari, former PM re-known for his love of torture of non-Shiites,(particularly in the dungeons of the Ministry of Interior) has made an appeal from TEHRAN (that should please the angry arab jerks) for Iraqi national Unity and Patriotism, pre-elections.

- and last but not least, a wee bit of gossip. Al-Maliki's son is bidding to buy/construct a 26 Million dollar hotel in some Arab capital. Where did he get the money from ? Someone should ask his daddy.

Yalla, goodnight and don't lose sleep over how "wonderful" your "liberation" effort has been.

But...

2009-10-05T05:36:00.010+03:00

It's nearly 6 am here, too late to sleep...another sleepless night. Might as well use it, squeeze it, until its last drop before the sun rises and exposes me...

Hiding, in her tenebrous folds, I write away...like some thief stealing in the middle of the night...like some lover waiting for his beloved to appear with the morning dew...

But am hurrying up...

But am snatching the lines...every comma, every full stop, every pause,

Greedily devouring the page before the light hits my page

a missile, a mortar bomb, an explosion...

But, but, but...

sounds like a machine gun spraying bullets across...

but, but, but....

sounds like a row of quacking ducks,

but, but, but...

sounds like the West, like the left, like the right, like the center,

like the invisible man

like a sniper.

but, but, but...

In between the raped butts and the buts,

I search for mine...

cigarette butts, flower buds,

bouts and buts...

But you know

But you have to understand

But you see

But it was proven that

But evidence shows

But figures tell

But Mr.X reported

But Mrs Y stated

But this is a reputable organization and it said

But our satellites spotted it

But our intelligence survey proved it

But our agents told us

but, but, but...

Sodomized butts and buts

cigarettes butts and buts

Jasmin flower buds

in Remembrance...

But why ?

No reason

I just felt like it.

Screw It !

Some of you may remember the story of Hala, the 65 plus year old Iraqi friend and distant relative who emigrated to Amerikkka.

I remember telling you that she ended up in some godforsaken dump in Missouri, working 12 hours a day, carrying goods in a supermarket, in the Freezer section...
I also remember telling you that I spoke to her a few times and each time she was crying her eyes out on the phone. Here is a woman with a university degree in business administration, and many years of experience in industrial planning now working in a supermarket.

I also said that she was living on 1'500 dollars a month before tax. With this money she had to pay her rent, her basic medical insurance, transport, electricity, and reimburse the fees for her emigration such as plane ticket, temporary accommodation, administrative fees etc...

Well am glad to report that Hala is back ! She could not take it anymore. She returned. I met her the other day. So I asked her -- what about the American nationality, you could not even wait to obtain it ?

By now, Hala's English had improved and she just said - I don't want it. Screw it.

I also learned about another Iraqi family of 5. They sold everything they had, used all their savings and were re-located in Germany. They lasted 3 months and came running back. When I asked the person who told me their story, the reason for their prompt comeback - she told me that they told her but this time in German - Screw It!

I have more stories of others in Sweden, Denmark, England...and they are all saying the same - Screw it !

Latest from Occupied Iraq.

This is a rushed post. Will start first with the wave of arrests by the puppet government.

- Tikrit 13 ex-army officers were arrested during Friday prayers at the Firdaws mosque for no apparent reason. This was followed by a demonstration against their arrests, by the people of Tikrit who walked from the Mosque to the center of town.
In a later interview with Saleh Al-Mutlaq of the Iraqi National Front, he stated that PM Nouri Al-Maliki and others are reverting to their sectarian ways in preparation for the up coming elections, by making sure that no independent Iraqi patriotic voice be heard apart from their own parties.

- Mosul a wave of arrests has been carried out by the puppet forces. Around 150 people allegedly Al-Qaeda and Saddamists have been detained.

I am expecting more waves of arrests before the upcoming election.

- In an interview on Al-Babeliya sat TV, Iyad Allawi, former interim PM, engaged in a mea culpa and admitted that many monumental errors were done not only by the Americans but by the Iraqis (politicians) themselves, when they accepted including himself, the division of political matters according to sectarian lines as dictated by the neocons in Washington. He furthermore added and I agree with this last statement that Iraq is NO LONGER A PRIORITY for the American administration and he conceded publicly that IRAN's influence has grown in Iraq to the point where it can no longer be ignored. He was not sure if this a deliberate policy on the part of the US or if it was a consequence of a series of political and strategic miscalculations.
He also said, that the coming period is crucial for the fate of Iraq, referring to the elections and stressing the necessity that they be transparent and fair unlike previous ones and invited an independent body to supervise them. Overall, the interview was marked with pessimism as to the future of Iraq.

- Muntathar Al-Zaidi appeared on Al-Jazeera again, for the second part interview, but this time it was a two hour program. I cannot translate everything as most of the air time was devoted to callers from all over the world, contacting Al-Zaidi and praising him except for one who happened to be an american woman and who told him that it was unbecoming to throw shoes at a president. His reply was is it becoming to rape, murder and set fire to Iraqi girls then ? (referring to Abeer Al-Janabi and to Zahra, a little girl shot dead by an american soldier).

I will try to summarize what I think are the essential points some of which I have already covered in my posts during those past three years but no harm in repeating. Al-Zaidi said :

1) that only roughly 10% of all those detained in Iraqi prisons are guilty of any criminal charges. All others are detained upon suspicion only.

2) detainees have no trial and have been lingering in jails for 2, 3, 4 years and more.

3) if a detainee wants his case to be reviewed by a judge, phenomenal sums of money are paid to the courts so a judge can review the prisoner's case. But even then, release is not guaranteed. He spoke of great amounts of money being extorted from the detainees family, in vain. (I know that to be true because my own family has experienced the same with Kamel and Omar.)

4) he said that the puppet government relies heavily on the role of "mukhber" i.e an informant whose sole job is to provide names of "suspects" most of whom are totally innocent. (and may add most of whom are SUNNIS).

5) he spoke of similar arrest and detention practices occurring in the North of Iraq on a massive scale.

6) he also spoke at length of more of the torture ordeal he was subjected to, quite harrowing, with cigarettes stubbed out on his ears...he was presented to a judge who sympathized with him but was impotent to do anything and who said to him and am quoting "let it go", referring to the torture. Zaidi said that he felt he was in a tribal meeting with some elders and not in a court of law.

7) he said that his early release from prison was due to many Members of Parliament signing a petition in his favor, over 70 of them and urging Maliki to release him as an act of good will. The famous Algerian female militant, Jamila Bouherid also intervened on his behalf. She also holds an Iraqi passport. She called herself the Mother of Muntathar and he considers her like his own (mother).

8) He gave the names of Maliki's security men who tortured him, one by one...He also mentioned that many prison janitors as well as ordinary guards were sympathetic to him but dared not voice their solidarity from fear of reprisal.

9) During the program, one of the callers was the sister of Atwar Bahjat, the Iraqi female journalist who was found murdered, naked and beheaded after the Samara bombings, which were the triggering point for the sectarian strife that engulfed Iraq thereafter. It seems that she was onto some important information that the Samara bombings was the work American and Iranian operatives. She was murdered before she could air the truth by Shiite militias. Zaidi said that over 300 other Iraqi journalists have been murdered in Iraq since 2003.

10) Zaidi's future plans is to be able to return to Iraq and develop projects that will help widows, orphans and those maimed by the American occupation. But first, he wants to write his book.

11) When asked about what happened to his shoes, the one he threw at Bush, his reply was that he was adamant to recuperate them (his shoes). And that he requested from the Iraqi court and if necessary will go to the International Court of Justice to get his shoes back. He was told that the shoes were torn apart from fear of containing explosives. A story he does not buy. He sounded very serious about recuperating those shoes.

12) He said that after all what he has endured and suffered, if the clock turns back, he will do it again and again i.e throw his shoes in the face of Bush, and face whatever the consequences.

13) When in prison he was told that his sisters would be raped if he did not confess his party affiliation. He said to them, I lost my country, I cannot let you take the dignity and honor we have left. Don't touch my sisters, execute me instead.

14) During his arrest, his apartment was ransacked and all his photo albums, letters, documents, personal papers, pictures of the woman he loved, pictures of his deceased parents...were stolen. He asks that his personal papers be returned to him because of their "sentimental value."

15) And before I forget -- the first part of his detention, was a three months solitary confinement where he was not allowed any stationery, pens, pencil etc..and no contact with anyone. He was given tea on a daily basis in a paper cup and once a week a bit of detergent to wash his clothes. He saved both, the carton cup and the detergent and used the latter as chalk to write his poetry on the paper cup and on the door of his cell. His short poem ended with this line -- How I love you, Baghdad, the Gates of Mourning.

The Empire is Falling...

2009-10-02T04:10:00.007+03:00

I have always liked A.Toynbee view of the cyclical nature of History, the rise and fall of Empires...It has a very Taoist twist to it - what goes up, goes down...

And oddly enough, I trust more the words from military men than from politicians. Not that I have a crush on the American military, God forbid...but military men are trained to win battles and when engaged in a losing battles, they hold out as long as they can before admitting defeat. Now the one step before admission of defeat, which you may call the one step before the fall into the precipice comes in the form of sentences brought to you fresh from the battle field...

When you come to think of it, this is serious stuff, because in parallel to armed warfare there is a psychological warfare, and one can tell the first signs of defeat when the psychological battle is lost...

I will use two examples here. The case of Afghanistan and Iraq and the two statements respectively made by U.S. Generals McChrystal for Afghanistan and Odierno for Iraq.

McChrystal - " Violence in Afghanistan is growing and the success of the campaign against the Taliban cannot be taken for granted, General Stanley McChrystal, the head of US and Nato troops has said. Delivering what he called an honest assessment of the eight-year-old conflict...he said,the situation was serious and time was running out..."Whether we like it or not, we have a conventional warfare mentality," "We must do things dramatically differently, even uncomfortably differently,"..."I discount immediately anyone who simplifies the problem or offers a solution ... or says 'this is what you have got to do' because they absolutely have no clue about the complexity of what we are dealing with."

Ok now have a look at what General Odierno said:

" The top American commander in Iraq said Thursday it is unlikely the U.S. can declare victory by the time forces leave at the end of 2011.
"I'm not sure we will ever see anyone declare victory in Iraq, because first off, I'm not sure we'll know for 10 years or five years" adding "it's going to be several years before we know " if Iraq will meet the objectives of why the Americans occupied it.

How do you read the above ? I read Formidable Resistance equals Defeat for the Occupier.

In Afghanistan. it is clear that the Afghan resistance is winning. Numerous reasons for that.
First a unified front against the occupier. Secondly geographical conditions that Afghans are used to and master well in comparison to the US and Nato forces and which play in their favor. Third, the Afghan resistance has extensive previous experience in guerilla warfare. Fourth, there are no thousands of Iranian armed Shiite militias there ready to drill, rape and torture alongside the occupier and its puppet's forces. Fifth, there is no Al-Qaeda either.

Furthermore, the flagrant human rights abuses and killing of civilians by the US and Nato troops plus the U.S government acceptance of the fraudulent election results and endorsing the stooge Karzai despite massive fraud, has mobilized the Afghans even more against the occupier's stooges, hence a regain of popularity for the Talibans amongst the local population. And of course, the inescapable fact that the Talibans are formidable warriors. No doubt about that.

Insofar as Iraq is concerned, the situation is intricately more complex.

The U.S cannot declare victory in Iraq for reasons which I will try to simplify here.

There was a formidable Iraqi Resistance against the occupation, a valiant and brave one that did not get much coverage, publicity and support, for many reasons I really can't go into now.
However, I can tell you that -- ALL the gains made by the IRAQI resistance have been recuperated and capitalized upon by Iran and its militias.

The Resistance is not to be blamed for this, this is a natural consequence when you are dealing with a dual American - Iranian occupation coupled with an Israeli occupation in the North.

Furthermore, the role of the Shiite militias and the Al-Qaeda, both helped in the long run the consolidation of the Iranian presence in Iraq. It is a known fact that Al-Qaeda at least some good parts of it not only massacred Resistance fighters but also thwarted their battles. It now transpires that Al-Qaeda was partly funded by Iran and one of its master planners is in hiding there, even though the Iraqi puppet government denies it.

This coupled with the grotesque crimes of the Shiite militias funded, armed, and trained in Iran, in ethnically cleansing Iraqis, plus the role of U.S and U.K led mercenaries, dirty gangs, special forces, security contractors in igniting sectarian civil strife in Iraq, have prevented a rallying around the Iraqi Resistance like in Afghanistan.

Moreover, it is important to note and never underestimate the ideological and cultural dimensions here. Iran and its clergy hold much power over Shiites worldwide and particularly in Iraq for obvious historical reasons. And that too played a very important role in favor of the dual Occupier. In the first lieu, for the Americans and in a second and final lieu, for the Iranians.

In other words, those who managed to reap the fruits and benefits of the Iraqi Resistance's victorious gains against the occupier was/is Iran and its Shiite parties and militias in Iraq.

Hence, when Odierno says we can't declare victory in Iraq, he knows full well, as a military man, that the political objectives for which the military invasion and occupation of Iraq took place, were not reached, not even remotely so.

Odierno as military man, was probably not expecting a Shiite theocracy to spring instead of a democracy, nor was he expecting to see the handing over of Iraq on a silver platter to Iran the way it was done. He had a job to be done and he and his men failed to deliver politically the fruits of their military enterprise, in terms of a "democratic model" for the rest of the Middle East.

I am simplifying the whole thing here and am sure there are other angles to this that I have not covered in this relatively short post, but overall, this is how I read those two statements by the U.S army generals. They are admitting defeat both militarily and politically.

And in a battle, one person's defeat is one person's victory.

And it's all downhill from there on...

Psy-Op Stupidity.

One would expect from psychological operations aimed at changing and or mobilizing world opinion to hold some kind of credibility, when spun over a long period of time, by so-called eager anti-war mongers and warmongers alike (yes I do realize the paradox) and zealous anti-Zionists. But no such luck. They can't even manage that !

I have not stopped hearing and reading about the so called forthcoming war on Iran.
This collective delusion, hallucination is what it is - a hallucination.

Pundits from all sides have been doing nothing but parroting this utter bullshit for the past 5 years or so, promising us, in the mode of Nostradamus, some sure apocalyptic date when this explosive truth will happen. And the months and years passed, and their claims have remained a chimera not even fit for a third rate science fiction film.

Five years and we keep hearing the same crap. And tons of diarrhoetic articles are published, bulging up alternative and non alternative websites alike, with comments breaking the comments sections seams...

A collective hysteria, akin to a bad acid trip, that soon abates when the self prophesied set date goes by and a new apocalyptic one is uttered from the mouths of the political luminaries and visionaries. And there we go again, on another collective hysterical roller coaster...on another round of beefed up, sexed up preorgasmic shivers...It's very comical. And this time quite fit for a third rate comedy show.

Truth of the matter is a war on Iran will not happen. Cannot happen.

Any layperson with a modicum of intelligence and insight and who has been following Iraqi developments since "the liberation", will not need elaborated analysis to understand the ABC's of the Iraqi occupation - namely that IRAN is ruling IRAQ through its militias, special intelligence forces and Shiite parties, all confounded.

Now does it need that much of a genius ? If yes, then I can safely say you are nothing but a bunch of idiots and bad faith ones too, for that matter.

I have been meeting with several Iraqis, some are from the South, Center and North, some are Sunnis and some Shias and they all tell me -- that Iran is ruling Iraq in both the South and the Center i.e Baghdad. They have no doubts about that, they have no qualms about it and they don't scratch their heads trying to figure out who is running the show...For them it is a sure FACT.

Ask any Iraqi who is not paid by the Green Zone hookers Shiite parties, or is not on CIA / Mossad payroll, who is ruling Iraq, and he/she will tell you the same.

But as it has been the case for the past 6 years, in this dual occupation, the American - Iranian one, Iraqis are not heard and when they are, they are not believed.

The irony is that they are the ones who happen to be occupied. But, oh no! academics, reporters, journalists, pundits, bloggers...any fucking idiot on the outside, knows better than the one who is occupied.

A mix of deceit, bad faith, stupidity and arrogance. A lethal combination that has done nothing but contribute to the ongoing occupation of my country.
