THE NOVEMBER SHOCKER....
This was sent to me
(pretty much 'as is') by a friend who keeps up with this kind of thing - and I
think her analysis of the situation is brilliant. It is sent primarily to those
of us who hold Iraqi dinars, but it is urgent news for anyone living in
the USA (or Canada) today. Take it as you will, or ignore it at your peril.
I had been expecting an October surprise, but it looks like it was held off for
a month (for the reasons given below).
Ask yourself: What do you have to lose by paying attention
to the warning shot the PTB are sending? Or what do you have to lose if you
ignore it and it turns out to be what it is planned to be? You and your
family will soon know, but there is an old adage which springs quickly to mind:
'It's better to be safe than sorry.' As for myself, I still believe in
common sense and wise old sayings... JAN
I was NOT planning on doing another educational update for another 2 weeks, but I just connected the dots over the last 2 days on something really disturbing and I felt that unless I told everyone about it, that I wouldn't be able to sleep again tonite.
Do NOT dismiss this as conspiracy or that I am crazy...this is ALL over the net, just NOT pieced together like I am exposing below.
I have been rushing to get this out to you today and working on this all afternoon when I finally connected the dots and realized what is about to happen to US Dinarians and the rest of the this country/Canada/Mexico.
I posted this link in the last update...and here it is again:
THE NOVEMBER SHOCKER....
Strong indication of another False Flag event to dwarf all previous ones and it is coming November 13th and it is involves the Banks.
http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/09/08/the-ultimate-false-flag-event/
There is going to be another FALSE Flag created by OUR GOVERNMENT, that will dwarf all the other ones going back to 9/11 in 2001. Here is where WE Dinarians fit into this puzzle. We keep hearing from ALL the so called guru's out there that that WE will ONLY have 30 days to cash in. I warned you about falling for this in my last update on the 21st of October It does NOT matter if they offer us $100 per 1 Dinar..if they have a bank Holiday after you cash in and now with this new event ready to take place in 2 weeks, it becomes more and more clear what their motives are.
This is the NOVEMBER EVENT that we have been warned about for the False Flag Event for November 13-14. WE have been warned that this next event will dwarf anything that has happened in the past.
Historically the Cabal, or NWO, or whatever you want to call them...have always
exposed and warned us of each False Flag in the past BEFORE it happened.
This last Sunday (Oct 27th) on the National Geographic channel, they had a 30 minute reenactment called American Blackout, of what would happen if the Grid went down after a Cyber Attack.
Watch the whole 30 minutes Here....
http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/155680/American_Blackout_2013_Documentary/
What a PERFECT time to hide the Bank Holiday in that EVENT!!!!! How brilliant and subtle and then they could blame??? Maybe Syria or Iran?, to justify going to war on them.
Sooo here is my gut feeling on the above. IF we have the RV/CE BEFORE November 13-14 (which would be a totally PERFECT time to let it happen) and they have now baited ALL the Dinarrians with a HIGH $$$$ ( I have heard even $30). NOW, everyone RUNS to the banks or a Cash in site and cashes EVERYTHING in...since they are scaring everyone with ONLY 30 days to cash in before it will drop to maybe even 89 cents (which is NOT how Forex works at all, it does NOT go up or down NOT anywhere that fast) , then the "sheeple" will cash it ALL in.out of FEAR.
What they want to create is a "FEAR of loss" in everyone's head and heart. Then we have the Grid attack and everything is shut down including the banks and ATM's...and when it then blows over...the banks have stolen your money and the dollar is now worthless.
Folks this NOT crazy and I am NOT insane...this is a very very STRONG possibility
as you need to realize that the Dinar deal was NEVER created to make US "peons" wealthy; it was set up by Bushes, and Geitner and that group to make them RICH. Somehow it leaked and got out and those of US who have purchased Dinars are still a drop in the bucket next to the 7 Billion people who inhabit this planet. Maybe 3-4 million people have purchased Dinars, More know about it but do NOT believe in it or cannot afford to get any. (they really cannot afford NOT to buy it....but they do NOT know this.)
Folks the safest place to keep your Dinars is in the IQD, it is one of the very very few currencies (once it RV's and goes on the Forex) in the world that is backed by precious metals, diamonds and oil and the USD is backed by ??????? NOTHING. So think about it, do NOT be so quick to cash in a SOLID currency into a worthless currency.
Don't believe me still? Watch this from Fox news (7 min) http://youtu.be/OgxrU_0iRqU
I suggest you spread this message around to everyone you know whether they HOLD Dinars or NOT. I have begun to take my money out of the bank...cause when the Grid goes down, you will NOT have an ATM or bank or cell phone or electricity. No computers, no Gas for your car, stores will be depleted of food on their shelves...there will be looting and violence all over. This fits with WHY the government has purchased
almost 2 Billion with a "B" hollow point bullets. They are preparing for Martial Law...and what better scenario to have it occur in than something like the GRID going down. It will effect Canada, US, and Mexico.
Start taking some survival measures NOW, and whatever you do take this seriously...GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS!
I will leave about $200 in the account at the beginning November. I am going to prepay all my month's bills to get more money out of the bank. You will need money to possibly buy or get food/supplies...so keep it on hand as you will NOT be able to get any of it from the banks or ATM.
IF the Dinar RV's before November 13-14th 2013 DO NOT CASH IN ANYMORE THAN YOU ARE GOING TO IMMEDIATELY PAY OR USE OR HAVE ON HAND...DO NOT LEAVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS IN THE BANK.
IF THE DINAR RV'S BEFORE THE DATE ABOVE THEN YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE BANK HOLIDAY WILL HAPPEN WITH THE GRID GOING DOWN.
IF it does NOT happen before that date..then you still need to prepare for the Grid going down and stock up with food, water, gas for the car; candles and more - and we do NOT know at this time how long it will last.
The cabal, or PTB, have exposed the fact and never kept it secret that they want to elminate 90% of the world population as they believe that WE are using up too much of earth's Natural resources.
Alll this is visible based on the wars, and mutations of virus' and bacteria and Chemtrails and fluoride that they are trying to POISON US WITH on a continuing basis, including vaccinations - and especially now pushing Flu shots. And lets NOT forget about the drones...that are all over this country and will kill at will anyone that the PTB puts on their list.

The lights are going OUT fast, so take this message seriously. So you have very little time to do some preparing. Please make sure you spread this message around to everyone you know whether they are holding Dinars or NOT. It is that VITAL.

Guys
trust me........this I know for a fact, from several sources that are right
here in this country. Maliki and Barzani both are here in the U.S.. They
both attended a meeting in the White House today.
The meeting was attended by several 3 letter agencies and once again, an agreement has been reached and the final (I hope) time to RV has been determined.
My 1 Nov date as the back wall has not changed.
This is still scheduled to be a great week.
I will explain this on the call tomorrow and any guru with serious sources or intel, will be in agreement with me.

10-30-13 1:00 am est...... just so you know, bank rates super high, bank personnel on highest alert, Iraqi dignitaries completed all tasks in US,
All smaller denoms on catalog ( rv imminent ), we now await the international release of all currencies (announcement, 800 # ).
This has a specific date and time to appear, all sources indicate it to be close.
No cashouts or skr'$ rollovers yet ( its illegal before the fact, there's a 72 hour window left ) all will be simultaneously.
And there is pressure on Washington to get on with it. And about Washington Legacy won the game after all. Be blessed, good day.

Message from Montague Keen - October 28, 2013
  Message from Montague Keen - October 28, 2013 THE WORLD IS CHANGED BY YOUR EXAMPLE, NOT BY YOUR OPINION. You each must become the change you want to see in your world. You know in your hearts what is required. When the majority of you decide to speak out and refuse to accept the old paradigm anymore, then change will happen. The Cabal is not in a position to enforce its corrupt regime anymore. Those American Generals who bravely decided they could not live with what they were asked to do, showed great courage. Their brave stance should act as an example to all who are asked to go against their conscience, to destroy life or the planet in any way. The Cabal knows that it can no longer conceal your true origins and your connection to the universe, and so they have employed armies to systematically destroy all the great ancient relics of the past that verified all that you know to be true. These acts of vandalism carried out under the instructions of the Cabal, are a heinous crime against all humanity and must be seen as such. I ask that you think carefully about carrying out such acts, no matter who orders you to do so, as one day you will regret ever having complied with such wanton destruction. There is more than enough information out there for everyone to know what is right, so that humanity is secure and for your planet to survive, and all the dark influences to be removed. Their control system is crumbling as more light shines on it. It exposes it for what it is. Humanity will no longer accept it, so no matter what they try, they will face exposure. They can no longer pull the wool over the eyes of the awakened people. Every corner of the Earth is waking up to the illusion that has enslaved it. It needed mankind to come together as one, to remove all issues that caused division, and to realize that you are all part of the human race and you need each other's help to restore Planet Earth. You must work together to create a better future for your planet and all her people. Stand for truth and justice for all, not just the few, as in the past. There was more than enough for everyone before greed and power took over and destroyed so much in their drive to control all. You, the people, have been cruelly lied to by religion, governments and the medical establishment, whose aim is to remove two thirds of you. Foolish people comply with what they are told is true. Remember, humanity survived without the medical establishment forcing them to accept what, in their hearts they know, to be the wrong advice. All this was cleverly tailored to ensure that you are ill and in need of its medical help. You are now discovering that the old ways are indeed the best. You are returning to them in droves with excellent results. Your bodies survived much in times past without the need for drug-based medicine. Everything you needed was provided. All that is required is for you to open your minds to it. It is important that you take responsibility to educate your children. Do not leave it to the Establishment alone to educate them, as everything is geared to make your children accept without question, all the Cabal's laws and regulations. When you open your eyes and see the killings that have been carried out, which are still happening in your name, you will be horrified. You elect people TO REPRESENT YOU ! These individuals have an obligation to respect the wishes of the people who trusted them to act on their behalf. In the future, be very careful for whom you vote. Forget party politics which is a smokescreen. It actually does not matter as they are all owned by the Cabal and they answer only to it. You, the public, are completely ignored from the moment they "assume power". It is time for the people to make their collective voice heard. The people do not want war. They want to live in peace, and as you are in the majority, it is time to ensure that your voice is heard. Demand peace and justice for all. It is your divine right. Learn to speak with one voice, irrespective of race or creed, as therein lies your power. Many of you responded to my wife's difficulties when she found herself without transport, through no fault of her own, recently. This is a perfect example of how you can reach out to each other in times of need. Grateful thanks go out to you, from both sides of life. Every act of kindness is noted and remembered. When love and good wishes are sent from the heart, it has a powerful impact on the individual concerned. Love is your greatest asset — the ability to love, to share love, and to send love where it is needed, is so important. What you are seeing every day now is the dismantling of all that is dark and corrupt. As the light expands, it exposes truth, which enables you to see clearly for the first time, the reality in which you find yourselves. It will not all be plain sailing. You will face difficulties but all that is needed is the courage to only do what will benefit humanity. This is the way forward. Consider all that is asked of you carefully and decide whether your actions will harm or confuse your fellow man. This is your responsibility. Once awake, you can no longer hide behind the notion that you are only obeying orders. It is your responsibility to consider all of humanity. You are your brother's keeper. Please forgive the delay in writing this weekend. Veronica's daughter got engaged and so parental duties demanded a family gathering to celebrate the occasion together. Visualize the peace and love that is needed to change your world. Draw it close and give it the strength to materialize. Believing that it will happen soon, will create the energy to make it happen. All is energy. We in spirit, surround your world with love and light. Live in your hearts as that is where love abides. Veronica, my dear, you have made many new friends, all wanting the same thing — a peaceful world for all. Keep this in mind at all times. YOU are the change. My love is yours. Your adoring, Monty. Website: The Montague Keen Foundation http://www.montaguekeen.com/ Dear friends, At the moment, Veronica Keen is in a difficult situation. Please read her message below. You can help her by making a donation through the Donate button. If you don't have the means to help financially, maybe you can add her in your prayers and send her love and light. Positive energy always finds its way. Thanks! - Kees, GalacticChannelings.com Veronica Keen: "Life is not easy right now, I am without a car. A bus crashed into my 12 year old car while it was parked and wrote it off. I am facing many blockages as I try to replace it. I am dependent on others to help me find one. I cannot get to the shops. I have heart and lung failure, I cannot walk up the Hill. I would be extremely grateful for any assistance in this matter. Your good wishes and prayers would be most helpful. Thank you, Veronica ." |

Golden Age Journalism is Emerging as Cherished Illusions Die

You can see it happening. Conscious evolution has
reached a critical mass worldwide. Cherished illusions and willful ignorance
are loosing ground.
There is a systemic metamorphosis process shaping
a new social Conscience in our all-connected global social networks.
You can read about that at: 'Golden Age Journalism'.
Preface: 'Paradigm Shift as
Conscious Evolution'.
--------- Introduction follows:
Global humanity is now mainstreaming a higher consciousness of ourselves as a whole, the Family of Man in a global village of all-connected Net reality. This time was preordained for the "Great Crossing" of our solar system across the galactic plane of 250+ billion stars as happens every 25,920 years, or close to it.

This time was preordained for the "Great Crossing" of our solar system across the galactic plane of 250+ billion stars as happens every 25,920 years, or close to it.
Like it or not, shift
happens:)
We have entered the starry realm of Galactic Alignment with a surge
in
the quantum source field thanks to Earth's alignment with hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. We're in the 'cross fire' you might say, but in this case, it is the quantum light of Source that is driving conscious evolution as has rapidly matured with the Internet.

It's all according
to the 'Galactic Plan'
to come into alignment occasionally
in the larger cosmic scheme of our
conscious evolutionary ascent as
we learn to co-create with Source.
to come into alignment occasionally
in the larger cosmic scheme of our
conscious evolutionary ascent as
we learn to co-create with Source.
This is a review for many long term netizens on
this list, but there are many new readers who I hope appreciate this 'deep
shift overview'. Wise old souls will hopefully find solace in the
co-Creation opportunity for validation and consecration of their original
solar/soul connection with the 'heaven world'.
If you've read the 'Source Field Investigations', you know that our 'star-seed DNA' is going through a rapid metamorphosis and activation that is accelerating the conscious evolution process with breakthrough TeLeComm capabilities for culturing conscientious common sense - social Conscience - in our global interactive social networks.
This is Big Drama on the global holodeck. Shift happens:) Big changes cometh.
It serves well to understand the nature of coming changes so we can anticipate change events and participate in the change process in order to optimize the change that we all want to see.
That future is an individual and collective choice. It is not etched in stone or foreordained. There is, however, a cosmic destiny in the divine order of the fractal holographic universe... whereby the 'Law of the Angles' frames the 'Language of the Angels'. It ain't rocket science:)
Personally I've devoted much of my life to 'stepping down' universal law language with the symbol archetypes (Jung) of the collective unconscious... to make them conscious as an exquisite metaphor -- modern day parable -- that parallels the dominant meme of the day with the computer/Internet revolution as prelude to the global rEVOLUTION in higher consciousness.
That rEVOLUTION is what we make it. For some it is like the soul soaring on thermals of grace. For others, not so much; more like a battle with the ego dweller on the threshold of higher consciousness.
The opportunity for each and all is to have the 'discernment of spirits' that leads to all the gifts of "Effective Sensory Perception" (holy spirit).
This is 'The Blessing' of freedom of choice in application of all the power, wisdom and love we can muster at this transformational time. This is time ordained for linking the light of Source for co-Creation whereby mankind is transformed as kind men who 'get it'... that God is Love is heart coherence at the heart of the quantum source field.
There is a non-violent rEVOLUTION in process from the inside-out... the InnerNet at the heart of the Internet. The 'portal' is opening from cyberspace to innerspace. This is a big deal; big news for all but the small-minded.
As I explain at 'Golden Age Journalism', global Net reality is rapidly evolving from "patriarchal power" (top-down, highly centralized, command-and-control ownership values)... and evolving towards "matriarchal nurturing" (all-connected, highly decentralized, cooperative caring virtues).
The 'cosmic balance' of the masculine love of power with the feminine power of love will be reflected and perfected in the Aquarian millennial dispensation of freedom-in-love.
This is our highest and best destiny that represents our individual and collective gifts, talents and resources for co-Creation and social Conscience for all of "US" (United Sovereigns of Earth).
Golden Age Journalism will involve and evolve social Conscience with a higher standard of truth and love.
This is the example set by the "Great Soul" (Mahatma) Gandhi who led India to Independence, saying: "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS."
Keep in mind we are in that time of the end of the world order as we have known it, and the emerging blueprint for a golden age is becoming self-evident with 'Golden Age Journalism'.
So Seize the Vision, Embrace the Virtue, Vow with Valor and Claim the Victory.
It's YOUR world, YOUR life: Let it BE for Your/Our Victory.

Iraq War Vet: "We Were Told to Just Shoot People, and the Officers Would
Take Care of Us"
*** Looks like they did not want this one or the 5 am one up as they
put them in draft status just before their scheduled time. So read
both of these carefully. I believe we hit on what their intent is
in doing what they did at the one scheduled for 5 am. This
below is a prelude to the 5 am one because it shows the regret and shame our
soldiers felt about what was happening in Iraq.... and that does not serve the
vampire squid bankers and zionists since they need us hated like Germans were
in WW II. They can't get a good WW III without it. They lied about
Germany and Hitler as we proved on here just about a week ago and they are
doing it to us as well. I think our exposing it is what is making them
mess with this. We will see if it stays up at 1:15 for this one and 5 am
for the next one. STay tuned.
Vatic Note: If, after reading this and watching this video, we do not understand our obligation to these countries by stopping our government from doing this, then when its our turn we will pay for this WORSE than what they are suffering at our hands right now. War crimes need to be prosecuted even if through a citizens empaneled Grand Jury. PLEASE, read this all the way through. There are testimonials by soldiers as to what they had done and why and how high up the food chain the orders came from. Iran is next if we do not finally put our foot down. NO MORE. We have to ACT like we mean it.

On Monday, April 5, Wikileaks.org posted video footage from Iraq, taken from a US military Apache helicopter in July 2007 as soldiers aboard it killed 12 people and wounded two children. The dead included two employees of the Reuters news agency: photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and driver Saeed Chmagh.
The US military confirmed the authenticity of the video.
The footage clearly shows an unprovoked slaughter, and is shocking to watch whilst listening to the casual conversation of the soldiers in the background.
........... VN: Please watch this video and listen very carefully to what and who is committing all these crimes we hear about. Its many soldiers like this one below who are disclosing the horrors that are going on. This video was done well before Wikileaks ever showed up after supposedly collecting all this info but never releasing it until recently. Very clever indeed, well our soldiers were disclosing the truth long before that and many soldiers are and have joined this resistance group because of what they have seen themselves. We published way back in 2010 early in the year and have been yelling bloody murder about what our leaders are doing to these nations. Now they have set their sights on Iran and now we must stop it all NOW. Listen and hear it clearly the crimes we are committing and I have said before, if we do not stop our own country from doing all this then we are as guilty as those doing it.

The hearings provided a platform for veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to share the reality of their occupation experiences with the media in the US.
Washburn testified on a panel that discussed the rules of engagement (ROE) in Iraq, and how lax they were, to the point of being virtually nonexistent.
"During the course of my three tours, the rules of engagement changed a lot," Washburn's testimony continued, "The higher the threat the more viciously we were permitted and expected to respond. Something else we were encouraged to do, almost with a wink and nudge, was to carry 'drop weapons', or by my third tour, 'drop shovels'. We would carry these weapons or shovels with us because if we accidentally shot a civilian, we could just toss the weapon on the body, and make them look like an insurgent."
Hart Viges, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army who served one year in Iraq, told of taking orders over the radio.
"One time they said to fire on all taxicabs because the enemy was using them for transportation.... One of the snipers replied back, 'Excuse me? Did I hear that right? Fire on all taxicabs?' The lieutenant colonel responded, 'You heard me, trooper, fire on all taxicabs.' After that, the town lit up, with all the units firing on cars. This was my first experience with war, and that kind of set the tone for the rest of the deployment."
Vincent Emanuele, a Marine rifleman who spent a year in the al-Qaim area of Iraq near the Syrian border, told of emptying magazines of bullets into the city without identifying targets, running over corpses with Humvees and stopping to take "trophy" photos of bodies.
"An act that took place quite often in Iraq was taking pot shots at cars that drove by," he said, "This was not an isolated incident, and it took place for most of our eight-month deployment."
Kelly Dougherty - then executive director of Iraq Veterans Against the War - blamed the behavior of soldiers in Iraq on policies of the (VN: The Zionist nazi occupied Military and....) US government.
"The abuses committed in the occupations, far from being the result of a 'few bad apples' misbehaving, are the result of our government's Middle East policy, which is crafted in the highest spheres of US power," she said.
Michael Leduc, a corporal in the Marines who was part of the US attack on Fallujah in November 2004, said orders he received from his battalion JAG officer before entering the city were as follows: "You see an individual with a white flag and he does anything but approach you slowly and obey commands, assume it's a trick and kill him."
Brian Casler, a corporal in the Marines, spoke of witnessing the prevalent dehumanizing outlook soldiers took toward Iraqis during the invasion of Iraq.
"... on these convoys, I saw Marines defecate into MRE bags or urinate in bottles and throw them at children on the side of the road," he stated.
Scott Ewing, who served in Iraq from 2005-2006, admitted on one panel that units intentionally gave candy to Iraqi children for reasons other than "winning hearts and minds.
"There was also another motive," Ewing said. "If the kids were around our vehicles, the bad guys wouldn't attack. We used the kids as human shields."
In response to the WikiLeaks video, the Pentagon, while not officially commenting on the video, announced that two Pentagon investigations cleared the air crew of any wrongdoing.
A statement from the two probes said the air crew had acted appropriately and followed the ROE.
Adam Kokesh served in Fallujah beginning in February 2004 for roughly one year.
Speaking on a panel at the aforementioned hearings about the ROE, he held up the ROE card soldiers are issued in Iraq and said, "This card says, 'Nothing on this card prevents you from using deadly force to defend yourself'."
Kokesh pointed out that "reasonable certainty" was the condition for using deadly force under the ROE, and this led to rampant civilian deaths. He discussed taking part in the April 2004 siege of Fallujah. During that attack, doctors at Fallujah General Hospital told Truthout there were 736 deaths, over 60 percent of which were civilians.
"We changed the ROE more often than we changed our underwear," Kokesh said, "At one point, we imposed a curfew on the city, and were told to fire at anything that moved in the dark."
Kokesh also testified that during two cease-fires in the midst of the siege, the military decided to let out as many women and children from the embattled city as possible, but this did not include most men.
"For males, they had to be under 14 years of age," he said, "So I had to go over there and turn men back, who had just been separated from their women and children. We thought we were being gracious."
Steve Casey served in Iraq for over a year starting in mid-2003.
"We were scheduled to go home in April 2004, but due to rising violence we stayed in with Operation Blackjack," Casey said, "I watched soldiers firing into the radiators and windows of oncoming vehicles. Those who didn't turn around were unfortunately neutralized one way or another - well over 20 times I personally witnessed this. There was a lot of collateral damage."
Jason Hurd served in central Baghdad from November 2004 until November 2005. He told of how, after his unit took "stray rounds" from a nearby firefight, a machine gunner responded by firing over 200 rounds into a nearby building.
"We fired indiscriminately at this building," he said. "Things like that happened every day in Iraq. We reacted out of fear for our lives, and we reacted with total destruction."
Hurd said the situation deteriorated rapidly while he was in Iraq. "Over time, as the absurdity of war set in, individuals from my unit indiscriminately opened fire at vehicles driving down the wrong side of the road. People in my unit would later brag about it. I remember thinking how appalled I was that we were laughing at this, but that was the reality."
Other soldiers Truthout has interviewed have often laughed when asked about their ROE in Iraq.
Garret Reppenhagen served in Iraq from February 2004-2005 in the city of Baquba, 40 kilometers (about 25 miles) northeast of Baghdad. He said his first experience in Iraq was being on a patrol that killed two Iraqi farmers as they worked in their field at night.
"I was told they were out in the fields farming because their pumps only operated with electricity, which meant they had to go out in the dark when there was electricity," he explained, "I asked the sergeant, if he knew this, why did he fire on the men. He told me because the men were out after curfew. I was never given another ROE during my time in Iraq."
Emmanuel added: "We took fire while trying to blow up a bridge. Many of the attackers were part of the general population. This led to our squad shooting at everything and anything in order to push through the town. I remember myself emptying magazines into the town, never identifying a target."
Emmanuel spoke of abusing prisoners he knew were innocent, adding, "We took it upon ourselves to harass them, and took them to the desert to throw them out of our Humvees, while kicking and punching them when we threw them out."
Jason Wayne Lemue is a Marine who served three tours in Iraq.
"My commander told me, 'Kill those who need to be killed, and save those who need to be saved'; that was our mission on our first tour," he said of his first deployment during the invasion.
"After that the ROE changed, and carrying a shovel, or standing on a rooftop talking on a cell phone, or being out after curfew [meant those people] were to be killed. I can't tell you how many people died because of this. By my third tour, we were told to just shoot people, and the officers would take care of us."
When this Truthout reporter was in Baghdad in November 2004, my Iraqi interpreter was in the Abu Hanifa mosque that was raided by US and Iraqi soldiers during Friday prayers.
"Everyone was there for Friday prayers, when five Humvees and several trucks carrying [US soldiers and] Iraqi National Guards entered," Abu Talat told Truthout on the phone from within the mosque while the raid was in progress. "Everyone starting yelling 'Allahu Akbar' (God is the greatest) because they were frightened. Then the soldiers started shooting the people praying!"
"They have just shot and killed at least four of the people praying," he said in a panicked voice, "At least 10 other people are wounded now. We are on our bellies and in a very bad situation."
Iraqi Red Crescent later confirmed to Truthout that at least four people were killed, and nine wounded. Truthout later witnessed pieces of brain splattered on one of the walls inside the mosque while large blood stains covered carpets at several places.
This type of indiscriminate killing has been typical from the initial invasion of Iraq.
Truthout spoke with Iraq war veteran and former National Guard and Army Reserve member Jason Moon, who was there for the invasion.
While on our initial convoy into Iraq in early June 2003, we were given a direct order that if any children or civilians got in front of the vehicles in our convoy, we were not to stop, we were not to slow down, we were to keep driving. In the event an insurgent attacked us from behind human shields, we were supposed to count. If there were thirty or less civilians we were allowed to fire into the area. If there were over thirty, we were supposed to take fire and send it up the chain of command. These were the rules of engagement. I don't know about you, but if you are getting shot at from a crowd of people, how fast are you going to count, and how accurately?"
Moon brought back a video that shows his sergeant declaring, "The difference between an insurgent and an Iraqi civilian is whether they are dead or alive."
Moon explains the thinking: "If you kill a civilian he becomes an insurgent because you retroactively make that person a threat."
According to the Pentagon probes of the killings shown in the WikiLeaks video, the air crew had "reason to believe" the people seen in the video were fighters before opening fire.
Article 48 of the Geneva Conventions speaks to the "basic rule" regarding the protection of civilians:
"In order to ensure respect for and protection of the civilian population and civilian objects, the Parties to the conflict shall at all times distinguish between the civilian population and combatants and between civilian objects and military objectives and accordingly shall direct their operations only against military objectives."
What is happening in Iraq seems to reflect what psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton calls "atrocity-producing situations." He used this term first in his book "The Nazi Doctors." In 2004, he wrote an article for The Nation, applying his insights to the Iraq War and occupation.
"Atrocity-producing situations," Lifton wrote, occur when a power structure sets up an environment where "ordinary people, men or women no better or worse than you or I, can regularly commit atrocities.... This kind of atrocity-producing situation ... surely occurs to some degrees in all wars, including World War II, our last 'good war.' But a counterinsurgency war in a hostile setting, especially when driven by profound ideological distortions, is particularly prone to sustained atrocity - all the more so when it becomes an occupation."
Cliff Hicks served in Iraq from October 2003 to August 2004.
There was a tall apartment complex, the only spot from where people could see over our perimeter," Hicks told Truthout, "There would be laundry hanging off the balconies, and people hanging out on the roof for fresh air. The place was full of kids and families. On rare occasions, a fighter would get atop the building and shoot at our passing vehicles. They never really hit anybody. We just knew to be careful when we were over by that part of the wall, and nobody did shit about it until one day a lieutenant colonel was driving down and they shot at his vehicle and he got scared. So he jumped through a bunch of hoops and cut through some red tape and got a C-130 to come out the next night and all but leveled the place. Earlier that evening when I was returning from a patrol the apartment had been packed full of people."
Vatic Note: If, after reading this and watching this video, we do not understand our obligation to these countries by stopping our government from doing this, then when its our turn we will pay for this WORSE than what they are suffering at our hands right now. War crimes need to be prosecuted even if through a citizens empaneled Grand Jury. PLEASE, read this all the way through. There are testimonials by soldiers as to what they had done and why and how high up the food chain the orders came from. Iran is next if we do not finally put our foot down. NO MORE. We have to ACT like we mean it.

Date: April 7, 2010
On Monday, April 5, Wikileaks.org posted video footage from Iraq, taken from a US military Apache helicopter in July 2007 as soldiers aboard it killed 12 people and wounded two children. The dead included two employees of the Reuters news agency: photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and driver Saeed Chmagh.
The US military confirmed the authenticity of the video.
The footage clearly shows an unprovoked slaughter, and is shocking to watch whilst listening to the casual conversation of the soldiers in the background.
........... VN: Please watch this video and listen very carefully to what and who is committing all these crimes we hear about.

COMMENTS BY ERASMUS OF AMERICA. - OCT. 23, 2013
Donald Trump did a good job of showing that the slapstick comedy Keystone Cops
of Wash., D.C. put together and put out this Obamacare which was a
preprogrammed disaster in the making even before it was released as a claimed "law"
even though it claims to give legal powers to the federal government not
granted in the U.S. Constitution nor permitted in the U.S. Bill of Rights.
One brief comment on why America went the wrong way after 1776. The U.S.
Constitution says that Jesus Christ is the Lord of the U.S. Constitution,
America and American people, but in small print put in by George Washington
saying "in the year of our Lord" meaning Jesus Christ is legally
declared the King of America. But this backdoor legal approach should have been
backed up by no one may be an elected official of the U.S. Republic who does
not swear allegiance to Jesus Christ as King of the U.S. Republic, King of this
U.S. Constitution, and King of the United States of America. A ton of later
problems of America would have been prevented if such a clause had been added
to the U.S. Constitution. At the time of the American Revolution, Benjamin
Franklin in a pamphlet given out to the French people when he was the American
Ambassador to royal France explained that 99% of all the American people were
Christians then and that you had to search far and wide to find an infidel
anywhere in America.
Second point. The Founding Fathers of America intended to basically copy the
legal organization of the ancient Roman Republic before it became an imperial
monarchy, but missed one wise point of the original Roman Republic before it
became very corrupted by the corrupt power elite of Roman society. The Roman
Republic was forced to be basically an honest government for several hundred
years due to the creation of the 10 civil tribunes of Rome which watched their
government like legal watch dogs and had fierce legal powers to stop corruption
and treason in government if anyone dared try it in the Roman Republic. Once
the civil tribunes were neutralized and finally eliminated in the Roman
Republic, then the Roman Republic became corrupt like Wash., D.C. is
today as there were no longer effective legal watch dogs over government
and forcing it to both obey the will of the people of the nation and respect
their legal rights.
My
proposed Omni Law posted on my website is a basic copy of the ancient Roman
concept of law called civil tribunes but a bit modernized and Americanized to
fit a much larger American population than Rome had for its Roman citizen
population. Pass my Omni Law and fast and America should have a bright future
ahead of it. Don't pass it and America is probably doomed to perish like a
snowball thrown into the fires of hell and rapidly melts away into nothing!
America had an old legal concept when founded and long since forgotten in law
by the Washington crowd. The people received the prior legal authority of the
king and so all Americans were collectively kings and queens in legal authority
and those in government were their servants and had to obey the royal authority
of the kings and queens of America or else had no authority. Benjamin Franklin
once joked about this saying that it would be a demotion to be elected a
servant of the people rather than be one of the masters who were the people of
America. Under George Washington's concept of government, the people had the
royal authority of the prior king but we still had a king over all the kings
and queens of America and his name was Jesus Christ. When offered to be made King
of America, George Washington refused saying that we already had a King of
America who was Jesus Christ. And he continued, but he would agree to become a
president of America.
And the cynical Patrick Henry commented before the Virginia legislators in
general assembly that he would prefer a constitutional king over America
over a constitutional president as it was easy to chop off the head of the king
if he violated the constitution of the nation. As for a president who wanted to
become a tyrant against the people, he would claim that the constitution
granted this authority and the people would get confused and not chop off his
head like they would a king who violated their constitution. Such was the
argument of Patrick Henry who mistrusted the U.S. Constitution and warned that
some day it would be used to crush the Southern States and wipe out the
Southern way of life if the South ratified it. The authors of the U.S. Constitution
sent oral word to the Southern States that this was a legal oral rider to
the U.S. Constitution that the Southern States' rights and Southern way of life
would never be crushed by the U.S. Republic created by the U.S. Constitution if
they would ratify it. I got the original books written then shortly after 1776
and found this historical material not taught in the historical classes of
today on American history. How cleverly true American history is censored in
ours schools of today!
Folks, the ancient Roman people were masters of the world for centuries because
they culturally respected the practical far more than modern Americans do. They
figured out the civil tribune angle to government and it was genius in
comparison to the federal government created today with no effective legal
oversight committee over it like the ancient Romans did with their elected
civil tribunes.
Pass the Omni Law and we release the genius still existing in the American
people. And America will skyrocket as a nation back into a booming economy and
Americans will have true freedom in America again instead of the fast growing
federal tyranny Obama is trying to engineer in America. As the old saying goes,
"There is method to his madness!" I don't want for America a Nero who
fiddles while Rome (America in this case) burns down and he ignores it!
Pass this report around. As the Bible says, "Listen to the truth and the
truth shall make you free." It doen't say, "Listen to lies and you
have solved your problems in life!"

Americans rose to greatness because they had a good, no nonsense educational
system which has been thrown into the trashcan today, and they had serious
freedom also thrown into the trashcan today. It is time we return to the values
that made America and the American people great until the confused
intellectuals called themselves politicians and lawyers and ruined the sound values
that American was founded upon.
"Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it." - Old
saying. I have found that good scholarship of history shows us the answers we
need as a people and nation. I find smart answers and dumb answers in the legal
concepts practiced before, same for smart and dumb economic answers found in
old economic history, same for military, religion, same for how to use science
and engineering, and other fields. I cherry-pick the good answers out of
history and throw the trash answers into the trashcan where they belong.
Like the ancient Romans, I always respect most what are the practical answers
that work. I make history work to make me sounder in answers and not just
practice studying history as an idle field of study. I was a history major at a
large university and also apparently rated the top history student out of
American high schools one year and so won a postgraduate college scholarship in
political science while still in high school. I cracked the top economic secret
how Nazi Germany financed such a fast rearming of Germany far faster than
economists said they could and an exile German captain confirmed that I had
cracked their top economic secret. He had once heard from Hitler the
great economic secret of Nazi Germany codenamed "The Inverted
Inflation." I have better answers, but even "The Inverted
Inflation" economic system first suggested by Bernard Baruch of America
and borrowed by the Nazis could skyrocket the American economy within 12 months
flat! Pass the Omni Law folks! I have the practical answers needed by America
today!
Pass this report around. Start thinking practical like the ancient Romans did
which made them the most powerful and successful race on earth for centuries
until they lost their greatness as a race and nation.
Yours for God and Country, Erasmus of America (pen name for the American whose
roots are heavily in the sound, brilliant answers which have worked before in
history and can be used again in our time!)
