Pop Quiz on American Justice!

mtrtmk — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:17:35 +0000

What should be the punishment for a person(s) who killed numerous innocent women & children? Specifically, 24 innocents killed including 10 women & children killed at point blank range. Shot in the head.

What should be the punishment?

a) Death Penalty

b) Life Imprisonment

c) Anything remotely approaching any semblance of an attempt at justice

d) A possible MAXIMUM sentence of three months of confinement, forfeiture of two-thirds of his pay for three months and a reduction in rank for the LEADER. EXONERATION for all others.

If you picked a, b or c, you failed. d) is the right answer. Ok, it was a trick question. All the dead were Iraqis, so they don’t matter. They were lesser human beings. Was this verdict juctice? No. My bad, typo. Was this verdict American justice? Oh, yes! Salute the troops, lets start the parade. The righteous and brave american warriors have saved the world (by executing babies, women & men). All hail USA.

And this is the remarkable american justice in “a case” that came to light in some of the media. The thousands others who have been massacred in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan & all over the world, they have been spared this shining beacon of American justice.

US marine pleads guilty to Haditha killings

Update Edit: US marine to serve no time over Iraq killings

A US marine accused over the killing of 24 Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha was demoted to the rank of private but will serve no time behind bars, a military spokesman has said.

Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, the last squad member to face justice after all the others were cleared, was sentenced to 90 days confinement but he will not serve it for procedural reasons, the spokesman said.
…

“the last squad member to face justice”. Hmm, is that what we call this farce? Justice. Seriously? USA, USA. Salute the troops. Shooting innocent people including point blank executions of children & women nets only 1 person a DEMOTION in rank while all others walk scot free. Justice? No. ‘American’ Justice? You betcha. America <— the pits of moral depravity.

israeli terrorists (aka Mossad) active in Pakistan

mtrtmk — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:36:52 +0000

Mossad is openly operating in Pakistan in funding and supporting Jundallah in Balochistan, Pakistan. Jundallah has been involved in various terrorist activities and with israeli and US (intensified under Cheney) backing has been particularly targeting Iran.

Mossad ‘posed as CIA to recruit fighters’

Mossad and other israeli setups have shown that they have neither morals nor any respect for international law. Bombings, assassinations and all sorts of terrorist activities are normal. Whenever anyone talks of israeli and indian RAW involvement in terrorist activities across Pakistan, they are dismissed as conspiracy theorists. But, seriously does anyone expect that these murderers are only funding Jundallah and not other terrorist groups? Funds, weapons and all sort of support flow from israel, india & USA to all sorts of shady and terrorist groups. Ironically, it is mostly these 3 countries who claim to be the biggest victims of foreign terrorism. Maybe if they looked in the mirror, they would see the blood of innocents on their own hands.

USA + israel — Murderers Incorporated

Nuclear scientist killed in Tehran car blast

So, mossad and USA has full leeway to kill people by blowing up their cars. This terrorist cabal can launch stuxnet, but if some obscure hacker hacks israeli credit cards, oh that is “terrorism”. US & israel can kill with impunity, but USA foams at its mouth over THAT plot by the iranian cars dealer. OH wait, that turned out to be false and fell spectacularly on USA’s own face. Iran has no right to nuclear technology and yet on the other hand, you have USA which has actually killed people by the use of its nuclear weapons; whereas israel also possesses nukes, but not a word by its slave USA and their cronies about how the possession of such weapons by an illegal terrorist entity (aka the glorious israel) is a threat to humanity. The same zionist entity which is committing a genocide of Palestinians. So, USA & israel have a RIGHT to commit cyber-terrorism, assassinations and all sorts of foul deeds all over the world (all in the name of national security), but any other country, individual or group which might take a stand against them – oh that is an absolute NO-NO. A threat to world peace.

NATO forced to admit killing of civilians in Libya

mtrtmk — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:23:36 +0000

After staunch and oft repeated claims of no “confirmed” civilian casualties as a result of NATO bombings in Libya, that lie is firmly exposed. A study by reporters of only a SMALL SAMPLING of strike locations has provided that confirmation. The real magnitude of the death toll will remain hidden as NATO has not and will not investigate these deaths as per their own admission. It has now been confirmed that many women & children were among NATO’s victims, many of them killed in their sleep. Also, people who tried to rescue the victims as well as ambulances also came under attack from NATO and suffered casualties. NATO and USA have and will continue to harp about their campaign in Libya being a success. The media and right wing nutters will fall over themselves and sing praises about the “successful” campaign. The innocent men, women and children who were murdered by NATO may not share this assertion.

“We only saw a small sampling of the strike sites that may have been affected, so the death toll is probably much larger”

The price of US Drones

mtrtmk — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 03:07:17 +0000

These are the victims of US terror campaign. These are the people who are simply added to the list of ‘militants’. No coverage of this horrendous human cost on the US TV networks. The majority of people who are being killed and injured (families killed, permanent disabilities …) in Pakistan tribal areas comprise of innocent men, women & children. No mention of the true facts and figures in official statements. Also, very disturbing to see the comments on the story. One would have thought that such ‘incidents’ would open the eyes of the US public. They would question their officials, end the drone terror campaign. Instead, the commentators refuse to open their eyes, refuse to blame their military and govt. Salute the troops. Hail the heroes. Those brave US warriors are liberating people [... by murdering them]. To kill people in a mass genocide like the US drone campaign and still have the gall to claim that such actions are part of a moral and just cause. Shameful.

May GOD grant this brave little girl health, happiness and much more. May GOD raise the station of all the victims, those martyred, those injured, both in this life and the next.

Americans saying no to the bigots

mtrtmk — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:49:23 +0000

For the pathetic decisions by Lowe’s Home Improvement and for the hate mongers and bigots like Christian Florida Family Association, there are others who reject their message of bigotry. People like U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison, actress Mia Farrow, California state Senator Ted Lieu, mogul Russell Simmons and many others step up and lead through their words and actions.

US conservatives force firm to pull pro-Muslim ad

…
Keith Ellison, one of only two Muslim congressmen, also signed the petition.

“The success of All-American Muslim shows how ready the country is to learn about Muslims as Americans,” he said in a statement.

“This probably makes hate-mongers uncomfortable — as they should be,” Mr Ellison, a Democrat who site in the House of Representatives for a Minnesota district.

The petition had a positive impact and Tuesday Russell Simmons, a hip-hop Mogul and a practicing Buddhist, said he had bought spots for the next week’s show. He said he wanted to buy time for this week’s show as well but it was sold out.

“Just purchased remaining spots for #allamericanmuslim for next week The show is now sold out! keep your money Lowe’s and we will keep ours,” Mr Simmons tweeted.

Famous American actress, singer, humanitarian, and fashion model, Mia Farrow asked her followers to join her in a boycott of the home improvement chain, tweeting: “Big effort on Twitter to hit Lowe’s where it hurts, Let’s all boycott Lowe’s.”

California state Senator Ted Lieu called the Lowe’s ad pull, “stunning bigotry.”

“I call on Lowe’s to rescind its action and apologise to Americans who are Muslim. If Lowe’s continues its religious bigotry, I will encourage boycotts of Lowe’s and look into legislative remedies,” he wrote.

Laptops, Wi-Fi & Male Fertility

mtrtmk — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:50:08 +0000

While browsing Bob Rankins geekly update, came across a study regarding wifi, laptops and fertility.
Study with abstract and conclusions here (full text also in a tab on the linked page)

The conclusion of the study,

To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the direct impact of laptop use on human spermatozoa. Ex vivo exposure of human spermatozoa to a wireless internet-connected laptop decreased motility and induced DNA fragmentation by a nonthermal effect. We speculate that keeping a laptop connected wirelessly to the internet on the lap near the testes may result in decreased male fertility. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to prove this contention.
