I hope you'll tune in!
I must admit that I am getting a little suspicious of the continuing controversy that has been unfolding, regarding the pictures of U.S. soldiers purportedly abusing Iraqis.
It's not that I doubt that some U.S. soldiers are capable of such atrocities. Let's face it: Soldiers are professional killers. As a part of their training, they are subject to a conditioning process, which enables them to be capable of forgetting the humanity of their opponents.
And I'm not saying that the pictures are not authentic. I don't know if they are authentic. I wasn't there. But I am starting to have doubts.
I guess what has been troubling me recently, are the statements that were made by the families of those who have been allegedly caught up in the torture scandal. One by one, their statements were that their sons or daughters were "just following orders", or "were doing as they were told".
Of course, if the orders were to torture Iraqis, then that creates quite a moral dilemma for a soldier. They are trained to obey all orders, no matter how brutal. One can rightfully make the argument that refusal to follow an order to torture someone would be a just and moral decision. There is certainly no excuse for torturing anyone, orders or no orders.
My first impulse upon hearing the families' defenses, was one of rebuff. Naturally, it made sense that these fathers and mothers would defend their warring offspring, no matter what they did. But the photos spoke for themselves. Or did they? The crimes were evident by what we saw. Or were they?
I started to have doubts after hearing a sound bite of the mother of one of the female soldiers that was charged. The mother of Private First Class Lynndie England, said she was just "in the wrong place at the wrong time". That alone doesn't sound very compelling. But she also said that her daughter had told her that the actual circumstances which resulted in the photo, weren't like they were portraying in the media. That, in fact, the photos had been exclusively poses for the camera.
Put all of the statements together: The statements that they were ordered to do what they did, that it was exclusively for the purpose of creating photos, and that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This raises some interesting questions. Were the nudes really Iraqis? Could they have been U.S. soldiers, themselves? We cannot know because most of them were hooded. Were they playing along with the "torturers" in a staged photo operation? And if so, what were the "torturing" soldiers told to get them to cooperate in the photo shoot? Could this have been a wild party, at which these soldiers posed for wild photos, only to find they were used to frame them?
Of course, we cannot know for sure, as we weren't there. But somehow this situation just doesn't smell right to me.
It's starting to look to me that there may be more to this "scandal" than meets the eye. Is it possible that these soldiers were ordered to pose next to nude humans, without knowing that these photos would be used as evidence to frame them? After all, does it make sense that if a soldier was going to commit war crimes such as these, that he or she would take photographs so the evidence could implicate them? Would you take a photograph if you were to commit a crime of this nature, knowing you might get caught and disciplined?
And what of the media's role in all of this? Our media is controlled. They aren't a real watchdog or whistle-blower on government corruption — ever. They only report what they are told to report. If those operating within government want us to "know" something, true or untrue, then it is reported in the mainstream news media. The fact that the truth about September 11th being a U.S. government operation is still being suppressed serves as proof of this. There is a ton of evidence that the media has completely ignored.
Yet, the controlled media has been all over these prisoner abuse photos. Every day, it has been the leading story on news broadcasts, and on the front page of the printed rags. Why? What purpose is being served by making U.S. armed forces look bad? Or is that the purpose?
It would be a falsehood to say that the photos don't appear damning, on the surface. However, as so many things are in this world, we cannot get caught in the trap of believing everything we are told.
The truth is, we don't know what happened behind the scenes. All we know is what the government, and the government-controlled news media says. And we know that, for them, lying is more than a casual pastime. It is, in fact, a pathology.

A part of the United Nations'
Agenda 21, is
the wildlands project. We have a new section going up on the
Sweet Liberty site to address this topic soon.
It is all part of the globalists' efforts to relocate Americans from the rural land areas to the large cities, where you can be zoned, ordinanced, and regulated to death. They call it "rural cleansing", "smart growth", and curtailing "urban sprawl". We call it totalitarian control.

Woman narrowly escapes death in attack by mountain lion
By Greg Hardesty
Orange County Register
May 3, 2004
SANTA ANA, Calif. — "Jesus, help me."
That was Anne Hjelle's first thought when the 112-pound mountain lion locked its jaws around her head.
When the cougar tore away at the flesh on her fair face and neck, ripping her left ear from her skull and folding the left side of her cheek over her broken nose, she had another thought:
"I want to die."
Hjelle, savagely mauled while mountain biking in Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in south Orange County, Calif., nearly four months ago, then thought of her husband of three years, James.
"I knew that for him to lose me would be devastating," Hjelle, 31, told TV's "Inside Edition," which is airing her first interview since the Jan. 8 mauling.
The same mountain lion that attacked Hjelle hours earlier had killed cyclist Mark Reynolds, 35, of Foothill Ranch, Calif.
On Friday, "Inside Edition" released excerpts. Hjelle has declined to talk to other media outlets until the program airs.
Hjelle was out on a late-afternoon ride with the Trail Angels, a group of Christian female mountain bikers, when her life changed.
Friend and riding partner Debi Nicholls was following Hjelle as they rode down Cactus Ridge Run in the northeast section of the park.
"All of a sudden I saw a flash of movement over my right shoulder," Hjelle said. "The next thing I knew, I was off of my bike. I just remember the impact of him. He hit me so hard and I knew right away what it was."
Although the women did not know it at the time, the remains of Reynolds lay nearby.
He had been dead for about four hours, his internal organs consumed - the first mountain-lion fatality in Orange County history, and only the sixth in the state. Experts believe the mountain lion, later shot dead by Orange County Sheriff's deputies, may have been protecting its kill when it pounced on Hjelle.
"The thing I remember very clearly is his power," said Hjelle, a gym trainer and a former U.S. Marine. "It was unreal. It felt like 10 guys attacking me at once. There's absolutely no way I was any match for this animal.
"He actually grabbed onto my shoulders. ... He was going for my neck, and his goal, as it would be with any type of prey, was to break my neck and paralyze me."
A horrified Nicholls got off her bike.
She saw the cougar dragging Hjelle by the neck off the trail and into the brush. She grabbed her friend by the legs.
"I could actually see Debi's face and I could see her screaming," Hjelle said. "I mean, it was blood-curdling screams."
Just inches from being attacked herself, Nicholls and the lion engaged in a desperate tug of war with Hjelle's body.
Nichols had Hjelle by the legs, as the lion had her head and face in his jaws. As the women were dragged deeper into the brush, Hjelle began to think that the battle was almost over.
"Once he started clamping down, I remember thinking ... this is it. I'm going to die."
Amazingly, Hjelle said: "I didn't feel pain at the time. ... I felt just the strength of (the cougar)."
Then she passed out.
Two other bikers, Nils Magnuson and Mike Castellano, heard the women's screams and helped scare off the cougar by throwing rocks and other objects at it.
The cougar finally released its death grip.
Hjelle soon regained consciousness. The men carried her back up to the trail and called 911.
"Honestly, once the lion took off I thought, `I'm in the clear now. I'm good,'" Hjelle said. "Never once did I think I might bleed to death, I might still die. It never occurred to me."
Twenty minutes later, help arrived and Hjelle was airlifted to the hospital.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Nolan of Mission Regional Medical Center in Mission Viejo, Calif., has already performed reconstructive surgery on Hjelle's face.
There will be three to five surgeries over the next five years to correct her uneven smile and droopy left eye, he said.
"I think we're going to get very close to how she used to look, but it's all predicated on how much nerve function she regains," Nolan told the Register. "Age is on her side. Nerves in someone her age can regrow.
"She has a remarkable attitude. She's an impressive human being."
Hjelle, a member of Life Church in Mission Viejo, said she isn't sure why her life was spared.
"I never have said, `Why me?'" she said.
"(And) I'm not concerned about the scars. I'm just thankful to be alive. I just know God will get me through it, and he's never going to give me more than I can handle.
"And wow, if he thought I could handle this, it's big."
Critters come close for food, water
By Lisa M. Sodders
Los Angeles Daily News
May 07, 2004
A mountain lion lurks in Griffith Park. Sharks feed 100 yards off the coast of Pacific Palisades. A 200-hundred-pound California black bear takes a dip in a Jacuzzi on a casual romp through an Agoura Hills neighborhood.
Officials warn it's the season for critter sightings.
"People need to be aware of what's before them, around them and behind them," said Alexia Retallack, spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Game. "When you're alert and paying attention, it's less likely for an incident to occur."
The bear population in local mountains is growing slightly and coming out of hibernation. Coyotes in search of food for their pups are crossing busy streets in the San Fernando Valley and the hot dry weather is sending many animals into urban areas for water.
Public awareness and sightings are up, officials said, due, in part, to a fatal mountain lion attack in Orange County in January. In that incident, a 35-year-old Anaheim man was mauled by a cougar while mountain biking in a wilderness park. On the same day, a 30-year-old woman was severely injured by the same cougar, which was beaten back by the woman's friend and passing bicyclists.
Still, Fish and Game's Steve Martarano noted that there have been only 14 mountain lion attacks since 1890, six of them fatal.
Bear sightings in semirural areas around the San Fernando Valley area, like Tuesday's visit to an Agoura Hills neighborhood by a black bear from the Santa Monica Mountains, are also rare.
Wildlife officials tranquilized that bear and returned it to the mountains. Martarano said homeowners must avoid feeding bears because once they develop a taste for human food, they will return to get more, and can grow more aggressive in their pursuit of food, which often forces officials to kill them.
"Bears think with their stomachs, and they'll tear off a car door if they think there's food inside," Martarano said.
Because of the warmer temperatures, officials said Californians should also be on the lookout for rattlesnakes, the state's only native venomous snake.
Retallack said people should stick to well-used trails when they hike and avoid tall grass and weeds. If they are bitten, they should seek medical attention immediately.
"A lot of rattlesnakes can swim, so if you see a piece of wood drifting by, don't just grab it, because it may not be wood," Retallack said.
Shark sightings off the coast of Pacific Palisades early in the week cleared many swimmers from the surf, but Capt. Garth Canning, with the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Lifeguard Division, said there's nothing unusual about the sightings.
"It's the weather -- we've had no wind," he said. "When there's wind on the water, the surface of the ocean is choppy, and it's much harder to see on the bottom. When you're in a helicopter and it's dead calm and the water's like glass, eventually, you're going to spot some wildlife."
"We've never had a shark attack in Santa Monica Bay," Canning said, adding that south of Point Conception, near Lompoc, the sharks tend to be juveniles who are more interested in snacking on fish than sea lions.
"Every wild animal represents a risk if molested," Canning said. "If you encounter any wild animal, give it a lot of space, whether it's a shark, a sea lion, a stingray or a jellyfish."
A collection of photos that we are told are of the "liberated" Iraqi people who are being beaten, raped, and made to perform sex acts purportedly by U.S. soldiers. Are these really U.S. soldiers? Can we believe what we're being told?
I was sickened as I viewed the photos which appear below. Even worse, are those that never apparently made it to the 60 Minutes broadcast. They are some of the most vile, filthy, and shocking scenes known to man.
It is appalling to me that any person could be so destitute of decency! Assuming these photos are what we've been told they are, one has to wonder what possible conditioning processes could facilitate such actions. Assuming that what we're being told is true, the Iraqi people have, undoubtedly, been dehumanized in the eyes of U.S. military personnel.
I have a hunch that what we're seeing in the news is just the tip of the iceberg. In order for any soldier to have felt comfortable passing these photos around like baseball cards, it seems to me that they would have had to have been in an environment which nurtured the confidence that there would be no negative repercussions for their activities. According to some reports — the cruel activity was even encouraged.
As you view these photos, think of those dearest to you. When we view the Iraqi people as we view our own flesh and blood, we put the humanity back into the picture. It is then, that we are able to feel genuine compassion for the suffering of others.
Even if the photos are genuinely what they are represented to be, we must guard against our impulse to hate those who have perpetrated these atrocities. Hating only destroys the hater. We must also be careful to avoid assumptions which might put all of the soldiers into the same category.
The war in Iraq is, in every sense, immoral. It was started under false pretenses. It's real purpose was not to liberate anyone. Rather, September 11th was a U.S. government operation, orchestrated for a pretense to make war to control the resources in that part of the world — including "human resources". The agenda was the advancement of global governance, under the United Nations' system. This is not conspiracy theory; it is a provable fact.
The soldiers of today, both American and foreign, are being used as pawns to advance a very deadly agenda. They are being used to topple any government which refuses to cooperate with the plan for a socialist world order.
This is what Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. stated would happen, when he wrote in
Foreign Affairs in the July/August 1993 edition: "In defense of the World Order, U.S. Soldiers would have to kill and die. ... We are not going to achieve a new world order, without paying for it in blood, as well as in words and money."
The problem with such a statement is that it never is the elite's blood that is shed. It is never their money that will be spent. It is always the rich man's war, and the poor man's fight. And these poor men believe they are fighting for freedom, when they are actually fighting to accomplish the agenda that, if successful, will enslave the entire world.
The photos are extremely disturbing, as they represent another aspect of a war that is both senseless and purposeless. The Iraqi people cannot be blamed for defending their country. They have been invaded by foreign armies. Who among us would blame our fellow countrymen for killing the invading foreign armies who entered America? Who among us would fail to take action to protect ourselves, in such a time?
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS ARE EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND ARE OF A SEXUAL NATURE. I AM PUBLISHING THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO HAVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS SAID TO BE HAPPENING IN IRAQ.
