“Look at the
horrifying pictures of victims from Gaza:
babies with heads blow open and bodies torn into pieces by heavy 155mm shells.
What’s the difference between this and a decapitation? Only distance between
killer and victim.” Eric Margolis
“It’s easy to
understand why beheading videos provoke such intense emotion: they’re savage
and horrific to watch, by design. But are they more brutal than the constant,
ongoing killing of civilians, including children, that the U.S. and its
closest allies have been continuously
perpetrating?”
The beheadings and atrocities committed by ISIS
surely disgust most decent people. The barbarism of these acts is horrific. Yet
one wonders where is the outrage against the barbaric bombings, killings and
destruction committed by our “respectable” rulers who also practice polite
barbarism. But hey, they call these killings “surgical strikes” and “collateral
damage” and “no boots on the ground” or just raining down “air cover” from
assassins in the sky as they assist the jihadist enemy.
“Elements of al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremist groups
were known to be key players in the NATO-backed uprising in Libya from the
beginning, but now it appears that prominent Jihadists and terrorists are
practically leading the revolution with Western support.” [1]

Here is another quote on the hypocrisy of “our great
leaders” or should we call some of them war criminals? [1a]
“We westerners have a
charming and quaint belief that killing people from the air by using bombs,
rockets, shells, napalm and cluster munitions – or even nuclear weapons – is
somehow not really as bad as ramming a bayonet into an enemy, blowing him to
pieces with heavy artillery, or slashing his throat the way sheep are
killed.”
And of course our “great leaders” are now forming a
coalition to fight ISIS which has received
support from western “allies.”
“Citing the former head of British spy agency MI6, London’s Independent newspaper says Islamic State forces
are financially backed by wealthy donors in Saudi
Arabia and Qatar, both of which are Western
allies.” Thomas Walkom, Toronto Star, Sept. 10,
2014.
And Andrew J.
Bacevich in an article at Reuters Blog Sept. 10, 2014 said this about Saudi Arabia:
“Destroying what
Obama calls the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant won’t create an effective and
legitimate Iraqi state. It won’t restore the possibility of a democratic Egypt.
It won’t dissuade Saudi
Arabia from funding jihadists....”
Andrew J. Bacevich, September 10, 2014
One has to ask the question: Has America been Saudi-mized? [2] And are we seeing: “The
Evil of Empires?” [2a] Some “allies”
are arming and supplying Jihadis with weapons and these same Jihadis have been
killing soldiers in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
Do we have a bunch of filthy hypocrites ruling over us? No! Of course not! How
could these politicians be hypocrites when they are called, “honourable” and
“right honourable?” After all, many of
them called the beheading by ISIS “barbaric.”
Yet, their “ally” in Saudi
Arabia also does beheadings [3] [3a] and is reportedly funding the Jihadis.
“We must resist the
illusion that the only ‘decisive’ response to terrorism is bombing. Instead, we
should begin to confront ISIS by drying up its sources of revenue from places
like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Allies
in the region must share responsibility....” Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

And that great “ally” of the West is quoted in the
Propaganda Post, oops, I mean the National Post as saying this:
“Saudi Foreign
Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said coalition members agreed to share
responsibilities for fighting ISIS, as well as to ‘be serious and continuous in
our action to eliminate and wipe out all these terrorist organizations.’”

One can only say to that. “Really! No Kidding!”
One has to ask is there a great deception going on? Are we seeing open treason when “Allies” are
reportedly funding and helping the enemy? And should some of our “political
leaders” be charged as accessories after the fact? [4]
“Our allies are up to their necks in complicity with
terrorism, but as long as there is money to be made and weapons to sell, our
rulers’ lips will remain stubbornly sealed.” Owen Jones, the Guardian, U.K. August 31,
2014.
“Oh, what a tangled
web we weave...when first we practice to deceive.”
