Part of the evidence of the falseness of the wars in the Middle East.
COTO posts an article by Robert C. Koehler titled “The Dignity of Corpses”. [I’ll come to my extension of the title later.]
Robert’s story is so real, so appropriate, so ‘telling’ that it is important to read it.
We are talking about disrespect in regards of the enemy dead. That it is apparently not disrespectful to urinate on a dead body, or perhaps cut off some part of his body, from a fighting point of view. Admittedly, the US government has something to say about it being wrong.
Yet they, the government, send their young men out expressly to kill the “enemy”, where theybecome relatively inhuman in the act of so-doing, but much worse if they get carried away by their enthusiasm in carrying out their duty in ‘defending their country’ and getting into trouble for it. Of course, so they should, BUT who is really at fault here?
So the poor soldier, trained to kill, psyched up to “kill the mother-fxxxxers”, in reality turned into an animal by his country, confused about right and wrong, often soon mentally unbalanced, ignored and mistreated on return to his home country, cops the blame for his indiscretions.
Some extracts:
“Civilization hasn’t successfully drawn a moral border at the sanctity of human life itself, but because it needs to put some limit on human behavior, it has, apparently, taken a last stand at the dignity of corpses.
It’s OK to kill your enemy, but not to urinate on him, at least not after he’s dead.”
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, exercising code-red damage control, said the men may be guilty of a war crime. Official condemnation of the act has been far swifter and more severe than the routine statements issued by Pentagon spokespersons after the mere bombing of a village and the deaths of disputed numbers of women and children.”
“The point is made with more vehemence further down in the story, when the reporters quote a Vietnam vet who sneers at the public’s “naïveté” about war: “I did a hell of a lot worse in Vietnam than urinate on some dead bodies,” he said. “We cut left ears off and wore them around our necks to show we were warriors, and we knew how to get revenge.”
When war is merely upcoming — with Iran, for instance — we talk about it with matter-of-fact abstraction and, of course, urgency. Gotta do it now or . . . or . . . Iran will become a member of the nuclear club, and then there will be hell to pay. And then we go to war and there is, indeed, hell to pay, but we pay it with a shrug and the unspoken words: What did you expect? “When you ask young men to go kill people for a living, it takes a whole lot of effort to rein that in.””
“Let us stop shrugging off the madness of war — and I mean that term literally. We try to contain this madness with crisp rhetoric, discipline and honor codes, but human psychology will have none of that.”
The reader surely cannot fail to understand Robert’s story and message, all of which can be read here.
My reaction to this incident is the same as it is to the whole war scene.
Where is the dignity and respect for the dead?
More important, where is the dignity and respect for the living? Once, it was the heathens, the barbarians, the gangsters, the pirates, the Nazis, the militant islamists, (not islamists in general) and a few more who were reputed as barbarians placing no value on human life.
Now, once normal, peace-loving, family-loving, on-the-whole western, citizens have become so used to this continuous warring, they too are losing sight of the value and dignity of human life. They are prepared to see their young soldiers sacrifice their lives, bodies and minds in these false ideals of stopping terrorism and creating democracy.
As Robert says – “war is madness”. To accept it as a normal way of life makes a mockery of our so-called civilization, where civility is becoming a thing of the past.
The US philosophy of interference and control in other countries is neither civilised nor legitimate. It is based on lies, misconceptions and hidden motivations.
It is up to the citizens of all Western countries to wake up to this madness and help prevent all the animal behaviour of which we need to be ashamed. It seems that we easily lose the concept of right and wrong and forget about the humanity of the “enemy” who are very often innocent, women and children.
By all means remind the offenders that although they were basically incited into this animal behaviour, if they want to maintain human respect for themselves, be able to tell their grandchildren that they were brave and worthy soldiers, they need to recognise their disrespectful behaviour. Alternatively, if they are the types who would boast that they killed and peed on another human being, I am sorry for them and their family.
The real blame rests on the shoulders of the warring governments and the citizens who support these atrocities. Most of these ‘wars’ are unnecessary and we lower ourselves far below acceptable human behaviour. Where is the dignity and pride in our behaviour?
Missing! Shame!

Kerry Bolton (henrymakow.com), posts a useful description of the make-up and procedures of the NWO hierarchy.
“A self-appointed elite that Huxley called the ‘World Controllers‘ and Caroll Quiqley described as ‘an international network’ has for generations been intent on establishing a ‘World State‘ (Huxley) or what David Rockefeller calls a ‘World Order’ and and what President George W. Bush and others …call the ‘New World Order.’
In more common parlance it is called ‘globalization’ but it is seldom understood in its wider ramifications, as set forth here, especially by the Left, whose activists support aspects of the same globalization process: multiculturalism, feminism, marijuana liberalization, abortion rights, open borders, and feel-good causes in the name of democracy and ‘human rights,’ the results of which are further control by the global plutocracy.
The Left, including the communists have generally served as the useful idiots of international capital … The Left, whether in its Fabian, communist or New Left varieties has been appropriated by the system it is supposedly exposing. A post- New Left has emerged since the dissolution of the Soviet Bloc, and takes the form of the so-called ‘color revolutions’ under the patronage of the Soros network, and others.
The strategy used by the international oligarchy is the same as that more generally recognized as being a major element in Marxist doctrine; namely dialectics, the conflict of opposing forces that generates a synthesis. This dialecto method is something that Sutton realized when he was trying to understand why the oligarchy so often seems to be backing opposing ideologies, governments, and policies.”“In general, it can be stated that many of these problems are the direct result of the debt-finance, trade and economic system that is operated by the oligarchs. Now the oligarchs present themselves as the solvers of the problems of their own making. A global “pincer movement” of agitation from “below” (the “Left”) and manipulation from “above” (the “oligarchs”) dialectically operates to shift the center of mass political gravity towards an acceptance of, if not support for, a World State to end the crises that have been created by our self-appointed “world saviors.” “

Today, some-one ‘made my day’. A contact from a globalist specialist blog “The Globalist Report”, now added to the ‘World Issues’ Links, (lower right sidebar), has the answer I was seeking.
We can easily see how they are infiltrating the Western world countries. The Middle East is being thrashed and bound. Iran is being seriously threatened with war, after all covert operations have failed and the assassination of a political leader is traceable to the Israel/US connection.
Strong indications of interference in Russian politics and elections is emerging. Japan has been crippled by the nuclear holocaust. China remained the puzzle to me, especially as they hold a whip hand financially over the US dollar/debt issue.
Now we have some convincing evidence that China may not remain independent nor an opposition. There remains some confusion with Russia’s Putin also courting China, but Putin may not survive the globalist sickle. China may be playing both sides. Who knows the real story? But the mist is clearing and the writing is all but “on the wall”.
As has been said – “we live in interesting times”!
From the ‘Globalist Report’ post “Have The Globalists Invaded China“,
It’s difficult to gage what China’s views on the Globalists are and if they are managing to prevent the Globalists from infiltrating their country. As the Chinese economy grows and demand for its capacity to manufacture goods increases, the biggest problem the Chinese will face is not the threat from environmental disaster or the looming economic collapse of Europe, it’s the invasion of the Globalists.
The implementation of the New World Order is the main priority of the Globalists. The United States of America, Europe and Australia have all succumb to the lure of the Globalists. Corruption in banks, major corporations and government has dismembered the United States, European and Australian economies. However, the fastest developing economy in the world (China) is apparently resisting the temptation of the Globalists. Sadly, this won’t last for long and the Globalists have already began their efforts to invade China.
Do Not be fooled in thinking that the Globalists haven’t already invaded China and commenced infiltrating their private and public institutions. In fact, over the last 10 years in China, the presence of the Globalists and Elite has been growing at a steady pace.
Recently, one of the world’s most powerful Globalists George Soros, invested $40 million in the $2.8 billion IPO of a Chinese Jewellery company called Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd, according to a report from Forbes. The Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange reportedly on December 15. Surprisingly, the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery company is valued more than Tiffany’s.
Another Globalist, Warren Buffett, invested in PetroChina Company Limited. It was rumoured that shortly after, he sold his stake in PetroChina Company Limited and profited around 3.5 billion US Dollars. In 2008, during the month of October, he also invested in an automotive organisation through the purchase of around 10% of the organisations value of which totalled around 230 million USD.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao
Bill Gates, one of the world’s most wealthy Globalists is now in talks with the Chinese Government to invest in nuclear power through an organisation called TerraPower. TerraPower is a subsidiary of Myhrvold’s, and the company is building nuclear traveling wave reactor technology, which apparently is a relatively new type of small nuclear reactor design that can use the waste byproduct of the enrichment process, or waste uranium, for fuel. It is not yet known how much of an investment Bill Gate’s will make, however what is known is that the funding will be provided thought the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Obtaining information about investment in China is difficult and the Chinese are usually reluctant to divulge any commercially sensitive information that they perceive could harm their interests. The Globalists need china and their plans of invading China via economic manipulation have already begun.
What the Chinese Government and its citizen need to be aware of is that these Globalists will stop at nothing to take over their banks, corporations and government. Thankfully, the Globalists are struggling to enter China, but as China continues its rapid expansion globally and becomes the new world superpower, resistance to the Globalists lies will become more and more difficult. Will the Chinese fall for the Globalists like the Americans, Europeans and Australians did?

As posted on TIP, an article by Anthony Gucciardi, ‘NaturalSociety‘, discusses new additional evidence of the toxicity of fluoride compounds often added to domestic water supplies. Supposedly added for dental health reasons, the study links sodium fluoride to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.
Groundbreaking new research has linked sodium fluoride to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Researchers found that fluoride consumption directly stimulates the hardening of your arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis that is highly correlated with the #1 killer. Sodium fluoride is currently added to the water supply of many cities worldwide, despite extreme opposition from health professionals and previous studies linking it to decreased IQand infertility.
In their research, scientists examined the relationship between fluoride intake and the hardening (calcification) of the arteries. Studying more than 60 patients, the researchers found a significant correlation between fluoride consumption and the calcification of your arteries. Published in the January edition of the journal Nuclear Medicine Communications, the research highlights the fact that mass fluoride exposure may be to blame for the cardiovascular disease epidemic that takes more lives each year than cancer. In 2008, cardiovascular killed 17 million people.
According to the authors of the study:“The coronary fluoride uptake value in patients with cardiovascular events was significantly higher than in patients without cardiovascular events.”
Amazingly, this is not the first report to come out on the dangers of water fluoridation, however the United States government along with other nations have allowed for the continued fluoridation of the public water supply despite these key findings. In fact, the U.S. government has even gone on record stating that a reduction in water fluoridation needs to occur following the results of a massive study that found water fluoridation affected cognitive function to the point of lowering the IQ of children. It turns out that the announcement was little more than a public relations stunt to curtail the massive wave of activism that followed the findings.
Makes one wonder what is really going on when there is sufficient evidence for many countries to ban the fluoridation of drinking water, yet other governments and organizations persist in poisoning the public, apparently deliberately.

At WUWT a post “Sense and Sensitivity II – the sequel” authored by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley, has attracted some 50+ approval votes and over 150 comments.
Much good information, mostly about the atmospheric CO2 effects on global temperature, is contained in the post and even more in the comments section where a debate is raging. Unlike many blog debates, there is a great deal of scientific content to be found.
Yet it continues on, seemingly endlessly, prompting me to contribute this following comment to their post.
“This particular post, particularly via its commentary, is of extraordinary educational value. The science is strongly present, the petty bickering minimal, the general tone pleasant and the standard high (IMHO). What seems obvious to me, as an overall summation, is that the SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED. Perhaps it never can be. Even maintainng(sic) a rigorous scientific approach, there seem to be too many variables and too few scientific laws and rules which can be said to be clearly applied with any expectation of a convincing conclusion. This, together with the unfortunate polarisation that has developed outside of the science, which now blocks, or contaminates a sane, clearthinking approach to the debate, produces what seems to be an endless, almost futile excercise.”
Not a world-changing or even debate-changing statement, but not too far from reality, I suspect.
Hopefully, the “AGW/climate change” claimed motivation for carbon controls and associated financial and political will eventually become generally accepted by scientists, governments and the public as baseless and be seen as a fraud. Perhaps not because of scientific proofs but more likely, as time goes by, the natural progression of our climate will physically prove it to be absolutely independent of carbon influences.
But even then, the damage will have been done and the global control of countries, their finances and socio-political structures will probably be irreversible. Either that or there will be a full-scale global revolution against the hierarchy.
SO, if readers are interested in this topic, I strongly recommend your visiting WUWT to follow the subject post and to check out the enormous amount of other relevant information.
Think about it! Apply your own thinking powers and assessments. Take nothing for granted. It is hard for me to understand that, based on all the available information and commentary, that anyone can possibly logically argue that the science is settled. Is it not obvious that it is NOT?
How can so many people be arguing, strongly and with so much evidence, about something if it really was “settled”? At least some of the IPCC claims and conclusions are clearly wrong! Are all the people questioning the validity of the AGW “science” lacking in intelligence or commonsense or logic skills?
I strongly believe that the science is not settled, and ask – why is civilization following this path of forcing a self-destructive re-organization of our industries and power structures?

This ‘MathabaNet’ post by Stephen Lendman, shows us that all is not well in Libya. He provides former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney‘s account of current activities.
There never was any humane intention to help the Libyan people, only the intention to take away internal control and achieve external control. An unholy, brutal operation base on lies and war crimes.
Now, the US is sending in troops to maintain the UN/NATO (read New World Order), control of the resources and the people. [McKinney’s words -“US imperial interests and those of a Zionist state and its US agents who are bent on Greater Israel‘s suzerainty “]
Here is most of the story titled “Obama Sending US Forces to Libya”
Throughout 2011, Washington and rogue NATO partners committed Nuremberg level crimes. They made Libya a charnel house.
Terror bombing caused massacres, mass destruction and human misery. Libya remains wracked by violence, instability, and illegitimate governance.
Occupation, colonization, pillaging and exploitation intend raping Libya for profit.
America’s Marines Hymn begins with the lines, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”
If Malta positioned troops are marines, they’ll return for the first time in over 200 years.
McKinney said:“The NTC (National Transitional Council) not only has to contend with a vibrant, well-financed grassroots-supported resistance, but the various militias….are also fighting each other.”
“I believe this ‘sociocide’ of Libyan society (like in Iraq, Afghanistan and other US war theaters) is part of a carefully crafted plan of destabilization that ultimately serves US imperial interests and those of a Zionist state and its US agents who are bent on Greater Israel’s suzerainty over huge swaths of Arabic-speaking populations.”Reports from Misrata say Apache helicopters slaughtered rebel insurgents trying to scale Brega oil platforms.
“A resistance Libyan doctor-become-journalist reported yesterday that (they’re all) occupied by NATO and that warships occupy Libya’s ports.”
Photos show “Italian encampments….with an announcement that French are to follow.”
Moreover, “(t)housands of young (pro-Jamahiriya) Libyans languish under torture and assassination in a Misrata prison….Black Libyans are being beaten, whipped, threatened, harassed, and humiliated.”
“I hope the report I’m reading from 12 January 2012 is not true.”After months of Washington-led NATO atrocities, McKinney’s account likely represents a small snapshot of what millions of Libyans now face.
It’s the same wherever America shows up, and they’re coming back after using air power and insurgents to reign death and destruction on defenseless men, women and children.
Perhaps now they plan more of it on the ground.

Just keeping a finger on the pulse of international intrigue.
This ‘nsnbc’ post, by Christof Lehmann, reveals much that the MSM does not. Enabling us to avoid the aim of the current leaders and aspirants of dumbing down the public to accept continuing atrocities by the US and associated ‘Axis of Evil’, ‘Coalition of the Warring’ et al.
Teheran, wednesday morning, January 11. 2012. An unidentified motorcyklist attaches a sticky-bomb to the car of Iranian Nuclear Scientist Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan. The event takes place near Allameh Tabatani, and as it is usual with assassinations and terrorism it happens suddenly and unexpected. Ahmadi Roshan was according to the Iranian Press-TV immediately killed, and his driver and a bystander sustained injuries and were transported to Resalat Hospital. The driver, Resha Kasqaei dies later in hospital. (1)
This was not the first assassination of an Iranian Scientist. On 29. November 2010 adhesive bombs were placed on the cars of Iranian University Professors Majid Shahriari and Fereydoun Abbasi, killing Shahriari immediately. Dr. Abbasi, the current director of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, and his wife sustained minor injuries. 2 December, the Intelligence Ministry of Iran announced that the Israeli Mossad, the American CIA, and the British MI6 had been involved in the attacks. In January 2010 Professor Masoud Ali-Mohammadi was assassinated by a booby-trapped motorbike. (ibid.)
While it is not unusual that US, NATO-Countries and Israeli Intelligence Services are involved in Terrorism, such as the MI6 backed assassination attempt of Muammar Ghadafi by the Al-Qaeda associated Libyan Islamic Fighting Group that now changed name to Tripoli Military Counsel, what is new is the fact that US-Foreign Policy has become so arrogant and overtly criminal, that it not only does not hide the fact, but boasts about it, and the so called International Community, as well as International Law Enforcement and Courts fail to respond, showing the true function of Interpol, Europol, and the ICC as the policing agencies and show trial courts of Justice a la Anglo-American Empire.
In December 2011 the Iranian national Prosecutor General Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei contacted Interpol in official capacity and by letter, calling for the prosecution of two U.S. Officials Jack Keane and Reuel Marc Gerecht, who spoke as expert witnesses at a meeting of the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee on 26 October 2011.
Jack Keane, a retired four star general called for the assassination of the leaders of Iran´s Qods Force in retaliation for role in a CIA manufactured false flag plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador in Washington. Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA officer who is now a senior fellow at the neoconservative think tank the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the committee that he does not think that one could really intimidate Iranians without shooting somebody.
It was subsequent to the provocative statements to the House that the CIA was given a presidential approval to launch it´s covert operations inside Iran in 2007. Approximatly 400 Million USD were allocated to “Deal a Blow to the Iranian Government”.The above mentioned, and todays cold blooded murder of Iranian Scientists are part of this criminal campaign. The response by Interpol to Iran was tha lapidary remark that it will refer the case to it´s Washington Office. (3)
The overt criminal arrogance of US-American politicians, including the contemporary President, as well as as almost all presidential candidates with the exception of Ron Paul, for murdering foreign nations scientists is unparalleled and unprecedented even by Nazi Germany.
A refreshing news from Syria states that 5000 hours of audio recordings are going to be released that apparently prove foreign conspiracies to commit crimes against peace and war crimes against Syria. One could hope that other nations intelligence services would follow suit to openly discredit the so called democracies of the West for what they are. An Axis of Evil, that sponsors terrorism and conducts it while boasting about that they can and will do how ever they please.
