Indonesia peat, snipers, Chalabi, Death squads, Diebold

Indonesia peat 2.3 E9 Tons CO2
places Indonesia in 3rd place in Carbon emitters, vandals of the biosphere.
We need hit squads to proceed immediately to execute the executives of the palm oil corporations who are destroying our world.
Mainly Malaysian, some PRC and Perth individuals. Jet in and kill them, the world cant tolerate such filth.

military blog: michaelyon - hard to take this psy-op seriously; it talks about USA soldiers helping 'a little girl to cross a road'. The only images out of Iraq so far show little girls dead and bloody, or screaming in terror after USA soldiers kill their entire family. It seems that snipers are back nytimes The fancy microphone-array locators dont help if youre too scared to follow up. Sadly for the Iraq people, the world needs the USA to remain in Iraq and bleed, the world needs to see the USA paralysed and powerless.

Where Plan A left Ahmad Chalabi
..in the 1950's, Chalabi, Mahdi and Allawi were schoolmates at Baghdad College, an elite Jesuit high school. Even in their class photos, nearly a half-century old, all three men are instantly recognizable: Mahdi, the soft-spoken intellectual; Allawi, the charming bully; and Chalabi, the boy genius in a bow tie.
...
Chalabi's version. In the run-up to war, he says, he provided only three defectors to the American intelligence community. "We did not vouch for any of their information," Chalabi told me.

..He didn't think much of Haideri or his information, he says, and was astonished to learn later that the information he provided became a pillar of the Americans' charges against Hussein.

"We told them, 'We don't know who this guy is,' " Chalabi said..
...
"We had three or four sources for every item that was substantive in his presentation," .."Powell insisted on that. But what I am hearing now, though, is that a lot of these sources sort of tinged and merged back into a single source, and that inevitably that single source seems to be either recommended by, set up by, orchestrated by, introduced by, or whatever, by somebody in the I.N.C."


Bush surrenders Iraq to Maliki’s death squads thousandreasons">thousandreasons
by Ahmed Amr Saturday November 4, 2006
.[Bush]is holding a videoconference with Nouri Al-Maliki... both walk away from the encounter .. with the understanding that the United States will abandon efforts to tackle (sic) the death squads in Iraq.
..Maliki.. demanded more American funding and accelerated training of the very same Iraqi security forces that moonlight as death squads.
..there is little that distinguishes the Iraqi police from the Shia death squads. ..
..Judith Miller’s NYT ..“much of Iraq is a place without rules or laws, in which armed gangs, sometimes dressed as police officers, can come into any house and do exactly as they please.” (Sabrine Torernice, NYT, 10/29/2006).
..Kim Sengupta - “Operation enduring Chaos: The retreat of the coalition and the rise of the militias” (The Independent, 10/31/2006).
.. ironically (sic) , the death squads are the result of US policy. At the beginning of [2005]. .. the Pentagon was reported to have decided to train Shia and Kurdish fighters to carry out “irregular missions.” .. the “Salvador Option” after the American-backed counter-insurgency in Latin America more than 20 years ago, which led to 70,000 deaths and countless instances of human rights abuse.”
..Badr is an Iraqi Shia militia that was trained in exile by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. It is the armed wing of (SCIRI) – ..
..within one month of his appointment, Bayan Jabr – technically Iraq’s senior police officer - put his death squads out on the streets of Baghdad and started a purge of Sunni officers.
“In May 2005, Shiite militia groups in Iraq began depositing corpses into the dumps of Baghdad. The victims, overwhelmingly Sunni, were typically handcuffed, their corpses showing signs of torture – broken skulls, burn marks, electric drill holes; ..
Where is Bayan Jabr today? He’s the Iraqi finance minister and a key ally of Maliki.
..The Prime Minister is the defacto chairman of the death squads ..



Consider the possibility that the Death Squads are deliberate, intentional, tools of USA policy,to keep populations cowed and countries chaotic.
From history we see that USA trains and finances death squads wherever it operates:
Recent examples.Guatemala 1982, El Salvador 1980, Nicaragua 1988. Chile 1974, Argentina 1982.
Going back in history: Iran Shahs secret police, (Iraq Sadaams secret police?). Indonesia 1975 USA provided lists for the 'anti-communist' purges.

It may be a mistake to believe that USA ever intended 'to tackle the death squads in Iraq'. We are being fed a false conflict scenario. USA wants chaos in Iraq. USA wants to see the population in terror. Death squads are a USA requirement. Follow the leaders: Where John Negroponte (carrion) is, there eagles gather.
USA is not averse to dealing with Iran. The problem for USA is that Iran wins. This is the weakness of the current USA position.

politickybitch
..In San Diego in the June 6 election, the event log,..shows the voting machine dialing out to Diebold at 9:31 p.m. during the count on election night. These are the kinds of things that show up.
AMY GOODMAN: What do you mean, the machine dialing out?
BEV HARRIS: The machine dialed out and made a remote connection to Diebold at 9:31 p.m. during the count. And when you say, “Explain it,” I don’t know of any legitimate explanation.
