Warmongering by Mustafa Khan

Concerns for war and its ravages is an abiding interest of people everywhere. There were war protests at the time of the anniversary of Iraq war. Some six elderly people held placards against the war in a town in the United States. One placard asked —"Four Years of War, What For?"—a car stopped and the driver shouted at them "For your freedom, you fucking assholes!" That response is not infrequent there because of the enormous profits and kickbacks as well as the oil of Iraq. Another enduring interest is weapons sale. The Jews have been trading in weapons sale. They have sold weapons to even those countries against which the US had imposed arms sanction. Most of the arms were manufactured in America. Perhaps it was this that prompted the Oscar award winning Hollywood actor Neil Gibson say that the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the word. If the war against Iran takes place it will not be for non proliferation of nuclear weapons policy of the US per se. It would be because of what Israeli minister Shaul Mofaz says: Israel will not accept Iranian nuclear capability. America will fight but the Jews would sell weapons, if not directly it would be through open market. Thus the enormous clout of the arms lobby (controlled by Jews) in America would ultimately benefit. Iranian nuclear capability would cut back into the profits. The Israelis again cashed in on India’s heightened concern for security in the aftermath of terrorism. Look at the various security tie ups between the two. In the summer war of 2006 in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah Israel used indiscriminately cluster bombs not allowed by the US laws. The Jewish lobby sold the arms irrespective of American laws

In 1986 America sold weapons to Iran despite its declared policy against it. The reason was that Hezbollah had captured 30 people, some were citizens of the US and most likely some were Jews. The Americans wanted to get the hostages released by selling arms to Iran which was in the midst of a war with Iraq. The American defence secretary asked Israel to transfer the arms to Iran. In this transaction many officials in Washington were involved. Even the vice president H.W.Bush knew it. But President Ronald Reagan denied that he had any knowledge until a Lebanese newspaper disclosed the details. After a week he acknowledged that the sale did take place. The proceeds from the sale went to the Contras in Nicaragua who were fighting the rightful government there and the Sandinista guerillas. American army and politicians were not only involved in it but they were also connected with the drug sale. Even Col Oliver North was neck deep in it. Again the Israelis played a leading role. They favoured the sale of weapons to Iran because they wanted to get back a foothold in the Iranian army. During the regime of the Shah, Jewish arms sellers had heyday and the Shah had close relations with the Israelis. Iran was the greatest buyer of American arms in the West Asia and the Jewish lobby felt the loss when the revolutionary government under the leadership the spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeni cancelled the contracts. They controlled the American presidents and the Congress through their strangle hold.

This realization dawned upon Cindy Lee Sheehan very late. Her son was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004. In March 2005 she wrote a letter in which she remarked that “Casey Sheehan was killed for lies and for a PANAC Neo Conservative agenda to benefit Israel.” When the Jewish lobby increased pressure on her she said “I do believe that the Palestinean issue is a hot issue, that needs to be sorted, and it needs to be fair and be more equitable.” She took part in protest meet in many other countries of the world. But she was disturbed by the right and left members of her own party. The lefts were the liberals who wanted her to oppose Bush vehemently rather than the war. The Israelis want that the US should stay course in Iraq although Iran is much greater threat than Iraq. The US started the war but it is unable to stop it.
But Cindy fell victim to the system in America, the system which is controlled by the Jews. At the beginning of June 2007 she decided to quit her protest campaign just outside the ranch of Bush family. She said in her “resignation” letter, “Camp Casey has served its purpose. It’s for sale. Anyone want to buy five beautiful acres in Crawford , Texas ? I will consider any reasonable offer. I hear George Bush will be moving out soon, too...which makes the property even more valuable.” The wry humour of her tone is reminiscent of what Hugo Chavez of Venezuela had said when Bush had addressed the General Assembly sometimes before him. Chavez said that the devil was there because he could still smell the sulfur.
The evangelists had egged Bush on to attack Iraq because the people there did not have religious freedom. Pat Robertson the founder of Christian Coalition in the US was in the forefront. He had also opined in 2005 that Hugo Chavez should be assassinated. He is a staunch capitalist and in sympathy with the Jews and against those like Chavez who oppose capitalism. Cindy Sheehan felt that she was a helpless sufferer in this. What hurt her was that the war was made out to be a matter of right and left when it was actually a matter of right and wrong.
“I will never give up trying to help people in the world who are harmed by the empire of the good old US of A, but I am finished working in, or outside of this system. This system forcefully resists being helped and eats up the people who try to help it. I am getting out before it totally consumes me or anymore people that I love and the rest of my resources.
“Good-bye America ...you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want.”
