Licence to kill Licence to lie
-- By John Kelly, 18 March 2003
The State has long made it clear to its citizens that it has a License
To Kill.
Transmitting this message even as entertainment via its propaganda outlets
Hollywood the BBC RTE etc.
Ordered or institutionalised killing as envisaged in Leonard Cohen’s
song ‘The Future It is Murder’
“There’ll
be the breaking of the ancient western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There’ll be phantoms
There’ll be fires on the road -
Things are going to slide in all directions -
The future Brother It is Murder.”
With George Bush and Tony Blair about to launch a massive attack on the innocent victims of an imperialist or piratical programme drawn up years ago people everywhere for the most part opposed to the attack on Iraq have come to understand hat Democracy is a Myth.
The State’s Licence to Kill is accompanied by the media’s License to Lie and this is often the most difficult truth to perceive to a public conditioned to believe that Freedom is a matter related to sexual mores or in other words matters related to personal gratification.
Everything is personalised
so that ego obsession becomes paramount and this of course is an ideal
situation for the Controllers.
Turn them all in to NARCISSISTS to prevent them organising.
To return to the subject
of institutionalised murder
Since the implementation of UN sanctions on Iraq in 1990, 5,000 children
under the age of 5 have died each month as a direct result of these sanctions.
1.7 Million Iraqis have died since 1991 as a direct result of UN Sanctions
on their country.
There have of course been many historical precedents for this process of infanticide
Right back to Herod’s
time - Through to Adolf Hilter
Mass extermination of perceived inferiors or of those who through their
very presence represent to the multi nationals an obstruction to their
programmes geared to corporate profiteering.
We all of us know
about Herod and the truth has emerged about the killing of Iraqi children
as a result of U.N. Sanctions.
How many of us know about the mass extermination camps instituted by the
fascist Ustashe in the Yugoslav scenario during the Second World War
Approximately one million Serbs, Jews and Gypsies were systematically abused, poisoned and killed off in an unspeakably horrible fashion in the Jasenovac camp alone.
How many people know
that the Croatian Ustashe forces in Croatia established extermination
camps for the specific purpose of murdering Serbian children?
17,000 children mainly infants were exterminated in these uniquely
barbaric camps.
This is one of the major concealed atrocities of the 20th century to parallel
only the mass murder of millions of men women and children in Indonesia
following upon the U.S. led overthrowal of President Sukarno.
Speaking of Concealment
The United States State Department has produced and distributed to libraries
across the world to include Irish libraries an expensive 32 page glossy
booklet titled
Iraq From Fear to Freedom
This booklet has been produced to justify a U.S. invasion and take over
of Iraq and its resources and is a distortion often by omission of the
essential truths to the Iraq and Middle East scenario.
Economic and environmental
destruction in Iraq caused by United States led assaults in Iraq 1991
is blamed on Saddam Hussein who, in the booklet, is also charged with
misuse of funds under the Food for Oil programme.
This is an unmitigated lie.
Literally every dollar received by Iraq through this Food for Oil programme
under legislated mandate in the West must be returned to the West in payment
for War Reparations.
