If You Want To Save The World From Nuclear Terrorism Then Support A New 9/11 Investigation, And Punish The War Criminals.

"American intelligence officials believe that if al Qaeda could get its hands on a piece of highly enriched uranium (HEU) the size of a grapefruit, let alone a consignment as big as the Polish one, the destruction of a city like London, New York or Washington would follow.

So far, such a nightmare has been confined to Hollywood thrillers. But the US government is so concerned at the threat of nuclear terrorism that next year the budget for making bomb-grade material secure worldwide will be increased by 67 per cent to $558 million dollars (£352 million).

The American effort, constantly expanded since the attacks of September 11th 2001, is intended to deal with weapons-grade uranium in 28 nations around the world, most of it the Cold War legacy of the Atoms for Peace programmes when America and Russia shared nuclear secrets with their allies."(Telegraph, "Mission to stop nuclear terrorism," By Nick Meo: October 11, 2010).

It is a frightening, unthinkable scenario: Terrorists with the power to destroy cities, waiting to attack any population in their sight if their agenda is not implemented. Nobody wants to live through this nightmare. Everybody wants a solution to the "Transnational Terrorism" problem. Well, let me clarify. Everybody except the state terrorists who control the shadow criminal network that calls itself the United States government.

Does it sound strange to call U.S. officials the biggest terrorists in the world? Sounds crazy? It shouldn't. Not if you've been paying attention to real facts, and real news for the past nine years.

A year ago, on October 13, 2009, Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report wrote about a historical event that the Western media has deliberately suppressed. Ford:
Spain had been a venue for bringing high crimes charges against human rights violators in Guatemala, Argentina, China, Israel and elsewhere. The worlds biggest potential defendant for war crimes and crimes against humanity is the United States, whose record of direct and indirect involvement in torture and mass killings is unmatched by any other nation since at least World War Two. It was U.S. pressure that forced Spain to close off its courts from international jurisdiction cases. However, one day before the change in Spanish law, lawyers for the human rights group Brussels Tribunal filed charges of crimes against humanity and genocide against four presidents of the United States and four prime ministers of Great Britain.

The charges cite 1.5 million Iraqi deaths over the course of 19 years of American and British attacks, including two full scale wars of aggression, the “most draconian sanctions regime ever designed,” and subsequent occupation of Iraq. Half a million of the dead, according to the charges, were children. So massive and systematic were the assaults on Iraq, stretching for roughly a generation, the accusers charge the U.S. and U.K. with deliberate destruction of a nation.

The bill of particulars is massive. In addition to the dead, “some 4.7 million Iraqis — one fifth of the population — have been forcibly displaced” since the invasion of 2003. Depleted uranium has led to 600 percent increases in cancer cases in some areas. The U.S. and Britain purposely dismantled the Iraqi state, through “’manhunting,’ extrajudicial assassinations, mass imprisonment and torture, of Baathists, the entire educated class of the state apparatus, religious and linguistic minorities and Arab Sunnis, resulting in the total collapse of all public services and other economic functions and promoting civil strife and systematic corruption.

On top of all this, the Americans and Brits attempted to partition Iraq and plunder its natural resources.

The defendants are George Herbert Walker Bush, William J. Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Hussein Obama, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Anthony Blair and Gordon Brown. It is highly unlikely they will be charged in Spain, even though the advocates beat the deadline by a day. The global clearing house for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide is the International Criminal Court. But in recent years that court has prosecuted no one but Africans. The United States refuses to join the International Criminal Court, and thus claims immunity from prosecution. But no one is immune under international law, and one day there will be a reckoning. (Black Agenda Report, "Four U.S. Presidents and Four UK Prime Ministers Charged With Genocide," By Glen Ford: October 13, 2009).
Check out Washington's Blog article "The Emperor’s Spokesman Has No Clothes" to see why the U.S. media and the Western media won't touch the issue of crimes against humanity by U.S. and U.K. leaders. An excerpt:

Finally, as if the media's own interest in promoting war is not strong enough, the government has exerted tremendous pressure on the media to report things a certain way. Indeed, at times the government has thrown media owners and reporters in jail if they've been too critical. The media companies have felt great pressure from the government to kill any real questioning of the endless wars.

For example, Dan Rather said, regarding American media, "What you have is a miniature version of what you have in totalitarian states".

Tom Brokaw said "all wars are based on propaganda.

And the head of CNN said:

There was 'almost a patriotism police' after 9/11 and when the network showed [things critical of the administration's policies] it would get phone calls from advertisers and the administration and "big people in corporations were calling up and saying, 'You're being anti-American here.'

Indeed, former military analyst and famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the government has ordered the media not to cover 9/11:

Ellsberg seemed hardly surprised that today's American mainstream broadcast media has so far failed to take [former FBI translator and 9/11 whistleblower Sibel] Edmonds up on her offer, despite the blockbuster nature of her allegations [which Ellsberg calls "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers"].

As Edmonds has also alluded, Ellsberg pointed to the New York Times, who "sat on the NSA spying story for over a year" when they "could have put it out before the 2004 election, which might have changed the outcome."

"There will be phone calls going out to the media saying 'don't even think of touching it, you will be prosecuted for violating national security,'" he told us.

* * *

"I am confident that there is conversation inside the Government as to 'How do we deal with Sibel?'" contends Ellsberg. "The first line of defense is to ensure that she doesn't get into the media. I think any outlet that thought of using her materials would go to to the government and they would be told 'don't touch this . . . .'"

Of course, if the stick approach doesn't work, the government can always just pay off reporters to spread disinformation.
To learn about the war crimes by the U.S. and U.K. government in Iraq check out Tom Eley's "US War Crimes: Cancer Rate in Fallujah Worse than Hiroshima," and Felicity Arbuthnot's "The Nightmare: The Iraq Invasion's Atrocities, Unearthing the Unthinkable."

All this talk of war crimes, and high treason sounds depressing, and overwhelming. That is a normal feeling, though, so don't be discouraged. What's worse is to deny the truth, and party like it's 1999. You can't. We can't live in a world that tolerates mass murderers, and epic lies. The crisis must be faced directly. And that crisis is not "Islamic Terrorism."

You, me, us, we, have all been royally screwed, and betrayed for a decade. The War on Terrorism is a big lie. Muslims did not attack America on September 11, 2001. America's shadow network of traitors, spies, and state terrorists attacked the World Trade Center. Osama Bin Laden is a makeshift enemy. Until you get that truth through your head, the mass mayhem and senseless violence that was unleashed in the Middle East by the shadow government in the United States, England, and Israel will not end.

If you want to save the world from an epic disaster, from nuclear terrorism, from world war three, then you must support a criminal investigation into the 9/11 attacks. We must get to the bottom of the Terrorism problem before it can be solved, before we can all move on, and live in peace. Otherwise, you can kiss this beautiful world goodbye.
