Buried Stories of 2010.
1. BP Gulf Spill slows Gulf Stream. Results in changed climate for World.
Droughts and floods in varying areas of Europe and Asia. Colder winter for
Northern Europe and Middle parts of North America and Canadian eastern
coast. Damage from the spill in destruction of ecosystem and current
systems will be a problem for decades.
2. War Crime Pays. Massive increase in use of Private Mercenaries in
Iraq and Afghanistan. Over 100,000 Private Mercenaries in Iraq. They
give US plausible denial in commission of war crimes. This is why they
are paid more and used more than US Military personnel. If they commit
crimes(torture, murder, etc) US Gov't has taxpayers fund their defense.
Erik Prince is now using the services of Bank of America to complete
the sale of Blackwater. Crimes of Bush Administration are not only left
behind but actively buried by Obama administration and Senate by begging
Spain's government to drop War Crimes inquiry on Bush officials over
illegal kidnapping and torture of a Spanish citizen. Also UK Iraq War
Inquiry promised not to delve too deeply into US role to prevent any
embarrassment.
3. India in Afghanistan. India's support of Karzai's corrupt Opium
Running Junta forces Pakistani military's hand to support Taliban
as a balance. Pakistan's Govt is a creature of US cronyism. It is
incredibly corrupt and disconnected from the people. The Military
plays both sides to survive. Meanwhile Kashmir is still an issue. US
and Indian presence in Afghanistan destabilizes the entire region. It
will ultimately lead to another Military Junta in Pakistan displacing
another corrupt regime.
4. US State Department's lies about Yemen. The extent of US
involvement in Yemen is so much greater than admitted by the
State Department or reported by Media. Jet fighter bombing and
Drone bombings are routine and serve as proxy forces aiding
Sunni Majority oppressors against Shiite minority resistance
in Civil War.
5. The silence about conditions in Fallujah after extensive use of
Depleted Uranium munitions during Iraq War. Birth defect rates
are higher in Fallujah and suburbs now than rates in Nagasaki
and Hiroshima after Atomic Bombings in 1945. This has been
reported by foreign media. Complete silence in US.
6. Balkan Revisionism and Holbrooke. Giving Holbrooke the title
of peacemaker for the Dayton Accords is particularly galling. The
talks were delayed to allow General Wesley Clark time to let the
Croats murder and cleanse thousands of Serbs from their homes in
Croatian territory. After the accord he urged US to sit on its hands
while Serbia ousted Albanian moderates in Kosovo which fostered a
resistance movement funded by Opium Trade and links with
Fundamentalist groups all over the world. This group, the KLA, was
then chosen as a heroic freedom fighting group for NATO to back
in an effort to make the Balkans a fiefdom. Holbrooke has often
backed drug dealers to support US/NATO Imperialism, Afghanistan.
Holbrooke was the point man to force a massive bombing war on
Serbian infrastructure by handing Milosevic the Rambouillet
ultimatum. Milosevic could not accept an unconditional and complete
surrender of Serbia to NATO without any stipulation. When he
refuses the suicide of Serbia the carpet bombing began. The
US/NATO utilized cluster bombs in urban areas, destroyed
manufacturing sites, bridges, roads and media outlets. This
process of forcing war onto a nation by any means was the same
method used in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Non-Binding Resolution"
and if you refuse, carpet bombing. The Shock and Awe bombing
of Iraq had a precedent in Serbia.
7. The Increasing Bigotry of Israeli Government as evidenced in
the "Israel is a Jewish Nation Oath" and in the Cleansing of
Palestinians in West Bank. The expansion of Israeli Settlements
in the West Bank and East Jerusalem not only violates international
law, it also violates 50 years of US policy in the conflict. The US
attempted to bribe Netanyahu into freezing the settlements for 90
days by giving them fighter jets and other arms. We also gave Israel
a large amount of enriched Uranium to increse their stockpile of
illegally held Nuclear Arms. They have refused to sign the NPT and
will not allow their sites to be inspected like other nations that abide
by International Law. Some nations are bombed for non-compliance,
by the US no less. And here we are supplying a non-complying nation
with more Uranium to create more Nuclear Arms. I thought the US
wanted less proliferation. I haven't mentioned the collective
punishment war crime policy of Israel towards Gaza. US has never
been an honest broker in Peace talks between Palestinians and
Israelis. We openly arm Israel with tanks, helicopters, missiles
and jets Israel uses to terrorize and kill Palestinians. The role
of US Corporations and Private Interests funding illegal settlements
in the West Bank needs to be mentioned.
8. Continued unrest and desolation in Iraq. The Iraqi Gov't is one
of the most corrupt in the world besides Afghanistan. Potable
Water and Electricity availability are at pre-1960 levels.
Honor killings of women are on the rise and sectarian violence
is rising despite US Mercenary and Troop presence. US is
building megabases across Iraq belying notions it will soon
leave. The size and security excess of US Embassy in Green
Zone of Baghdad is clear evidence of an Occupying Power's
continued presence for years to come.
9. Haiti not receiving any real aid while millions are still
homeless and over a thousand die of Cholera. Though the
rhetoric and announcements of aid sound beautiful, very
little of it is reaching Haiti. Lack of medical supplies almost
a year after a major catastrophe left millions homeless is
inexplicable. Only the Cuban government has made efforts
to help the people of Haiti. The UN is there to spread Cholera,
stand silent as elections are rigged and turn a blind eye to US
small arms dealing and exploitation of laborers.
10. Massive crime wave of bank fraud in Mortgage Services
and Mortgage Backed Securities. Banks are daily violating
centuries of property law by passing on land titles to multiple
investment entities to incentivize default and build layers of
CDO Securities on every property. This is being done in broad
daylight at courtrooms and banks across the country. Robosigning
Mortgage documents to commit fraud against homeowners to
undermine any rights they may have to their home. The Treasury
and President Obama have stated the banks "will sort this out".
This is an open admission that property law in the US is now
determined solely by Banks who utilize fraud and ponzi style
financial chicanery to securitize properties into a collateralized
grave where homeowners are expected to obediently kiss the
spade that buries them.
11. The aim of Austerity Measures in Western Nations is to socialize
the losses of wealthy financiers and bankers onto the people of a nation.
They cut social services, education grants and bail out bond holders and
bankers. This is a redistribution of wealth(i.e. the War on Welfare
State and Entitlements) where tax dollars usually devoted to social
services for the people are now being devoted to multinational
financiers and bankers. The wealthiest people on this planet are
now the greatest Welfare recipients. Those who have the least
are being asked to give up more to allow the small minority that
has the most many times over(income disparity is at record levels)
to be civically responsible for even less.
12. In a recession The Pentagon is spending billions on a chain of
superbases in Colombia and Afghanistan. I guess we will not be
leaving Afghanistan in 2014 after all.
13. Orszag leaves White House Economic Advisor post and quickly
becomes executive at Citigroup. Wall Street Banks and Financiers
and our government are united.
14. US firearms comprise 80% of arms Mexican Drug cartels use
in the ongoing Mexican Drug War.
15. US Unemployment rate is really at 15%. Not the 9.8% released
by Government. The numbers are cooked to hide the reality of how
deep the economic depression is. Also to stifle rage of people towards
Banks and Corps on Wall Street posting record earnings and rewarding
themselves with record bonuses.
