“The Prime Minister’s
Office directed Canadian immigration officials to stop processing one of the
most vulnerable classes of Syrian refugees this spring and declared that all UN-referred
refugees would require approval from the Prime Minister, a decision that halted
a critical aspect of Canada’s response to a global crisis.” Joe Friesen,
The Globe and Mail, October 8, 2015.
One could argue that Prime Minister Harper and his G7 “allies”
are responsible for much of the refugee crisis. They were the movers and
shakers in the NATO “illegal” bombing
of Libya
that helped out the terrorist rebels. Yet, the Canadian corporate monopoly
media have not asked this question of Stephen Harper: “How do you feel, Mr. Harper that
after you and your G7 buddies bombed and decimated Libya; that country is now in
chaos? A civil war rages there and thousands of refugees are crossing the
Mediterranean trying to get sanctuary, there are even reports that your NATO
friends helped out al-Qaeda. Some even joked about it.”
“Some officers in the
Canadian Forces tried to raise concerns early on in the war that removing
Gadhafi would play into the hands of Islamic extremists, but military sources
say those warnings went unheeded. Later, military members would privately joke
about Canada’s CF-18s being part of ‘al-Qaida’s air force,’ since their bombing
runs helped to pave the way for rebel groups aligned with the terrorist
group....” David Pugliese, Ottawa Citizen, March1, 2015.
Now we are bombing the terrorists in Iraq and Syria along with questionable
“allies,” that are reportedly funding and arming these same terrorists. Is the
modus operandi the same as the operation in Libya; “regime change”? And
assisting the terrorists in Syria?
“The civil war in Syria
has turned the country into a refugee-maker....
But it’s not just Syria that’s
sending refugees. Many more come from Iraq
and Afghanistan, two other
countries shattered by bungled Western military interventions....Then there are
the refugees from Libya.
A country the media and political establishment would rather forget because it
represents another disastrous military decision.... when NATO helped a coalition of ambitious
rebels overthrow the Gaddafi government, the refugee floodgates opened.” Casey Research, October 8, 2015.
These helpless refugees are, I believe the result of illegal
wars planned by powerful people.
I have not seen the important information in the videos below
in any of the corporate monopoly media. Are they complicit?
“General Wesley
Clark: Wars Were Planned - Seven Countries In Five Years”
“France's Former Foreign Minister: UK Government Prepared War in Syria Two Years Before 2011
Protests”
The evidence in these videos spoken by credible persons
raises very serious questions. Not only about the hundreds of thousands of
refugees, but also about the slaughter, destruction and death, and countries
decimated and destroyed in planned wars. Surely, these are war crimes and
should be cause for present day Nuremberg
trials to be convened?
“The Nuremberg trials were a series of trials held
between 1945 and 1949 in which the Allies prosecuted German military leaders,
political officials, industrialists, and financiers for crimes they had
committed during World War II.”
“Look at the massive
refugee crisis in Europe. It is a direct
consequence of the U.S.
military death machine’s interventionist antics in Iraq,
Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Afghanistan.” - Jacob G. Hornberger, October
2, 2015.
I believe based on the evidence available that some of our
past and present day “leaders” should be charged with war crimes and crimes
against humanity. These thousands of refugees cry out for justice as does the
families of the dead, maimed and dying in the countries destroyed by the
planners of illegal wars. If nothing is done about these war crimes and the
criminals are allowed to continue their illegal acts then the question must be
asked: “Is ‘international gangsterism’ in control?”
“We will have to
repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the
bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” – Martin
Luther King Jr.

thousands. Prior to the US-led war in Iraq,
there was no ISIS. Prior to the NATO-led

“Of course, as The
New American has been reporting for years, and as numerous top Western
officials have openly admitted, the U.S. government was directly involved in creating al-Qaeda.
In Syria and in Libya, the Obama administration also provided direct aid
to self-declared al-Qaeda leaders — some of whom were openly boasting of their
terrorist credentials in the Western press as NATO provided air cover for them
under a United Nations resolution.” - Alex Newman

“It was the European
response that caused this problem in the first place. The fanaticism of Sarkozy
and Cameron to bomb Libya.
They have completely destabilised Libya, to turn it into a country
with much savagery, to turn it into a place where for Christians the place is now
virtually impossible. We ought to be honest and say we have directly caused
this problem” Nigel Farage quoted in The Telegraph, April 19, 2015, In an
article by Matthew Holehouse.
