MASS MURDERER GOES FREE

“Curveball,” the man whose lies were used by the Bush regime neoconservatives to create a false “weapons of mass destruction” case against Iraq,has confessed that he made it all up. Moreover, the Bush regime warmongers had to know it was a lie, because the weapons inspectors had reported that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The Bush regime used a lie to advance an undeclared agenda. The american people and the
world have still not been told by Washington the real reason for the invasion and attempted occupation of Iraq.

Millions of Iraqis have been killed, injured, dispossessed, and displaced because of lies told by Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi (“Curveball”). US military personnel have been killed, injured, and driven to suicide. Why isn’t “Curveball” before the International Criminal Court in the Hague?

Who is protecting this genocidal mass murderer?

The obvious answer is the UK and US governments. Former UK PM Tony Blair is implicated, as are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the entire Bush regime.

The invasion and attempted occupation of Iraq are war crimes of the worse kind. No one has been held accountable.

If the Western world is threatened by terrorists to the great extent that US citizens have been deprived of their civil liberties and constitutional protections, why hasn’t “Curveball” been assassinated by terrorists?

How can anyone anywhere in the world ever again believe anything Washington or London say?

Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all Defector tells how US officials ‘sexed up’ his fictions to make the case for 2003 invasion

Jonathan Owen

Sunday, 1 April 2012

A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq – starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds – will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow.
“Curveball”, the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi’s lies used to justify the Iraq war.

  1. Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld led the telling of 935 lies. Colin Powell and George Tenet let them get away with it. In my world, as a professional intelligence officer, we expect both informants and politicians to lie, cheat, and steal. We do NOT expect directors of central intelligence to betray the public trust as Tenet did so easily, prostituting his office despite clear evidence from the defecting son in law and the 20+ line crossers Charlie Allen and others organzed. America’s shame is on Cheney and the neo-cons, but doubly so on those from whom we expected more. Powell committed moral suicide on this one, Tenet was simply a pimp.

    • Nice comment.
      May I add, that Powell committed “moral suicide” with his actions covering up the massacre at My Lai, Vietnam. Although the public has no idea of his disgraceful actions in this regard. That is why his masters KNEW he would do his part at the UN. He is a proven lier and stooge. As for Tenet, we knew what we would get from him.
      Take Care.

  2. RD Steele, right.

    “Curveball” is a little fish. He played fetch for his masters. We start by hanging Bush and Cheney or we’re (once again) just going for the lowest-ranking member of the crime team.

  3. and of course nothing will be done about this. One thing every new day brings is the reality that life is VERY VERY cheap in this world!

  4. No doubt the US and UK governments will protect Mr. “Curveball”. They stand far too much of a loss if he were ever to go on trial in a real court room. I mention a real court as opposed to any such “trial” given to old Saddam in Iraq and any that might have given Mr. Qaddafi as well had he not been executed when captured. “We” cannot allow for the truth to be made known to the general world population. That will never do folks. No sir, got to keep those secrets very secret.

  5. We have a representative form of government. If the leaders seem corrupt it is because they correctly represent a corrupt electorate. If we were to demand justice we would have to prosecute John Q. Public.

    • WE do NOT have a representative government. The Presidency is determined not by one person/one vote but by the undemocratic Electoral College. Gore had 400,000 more votes than Bush, which resulted in 2 wars and a million civilians dead.

      The Senate is not representative: Wyoming and Montana have twice the votes of California with 1/30th the citizens. Good ideas out of the democratic House are killed in the Senate where misrepresentation and the filibuster rule both crush true representation.

      The Supreme Court is not elected and is not accountable; it has no code of ethics.

      We are NOT a representative democracy but the facade thereof, a sham.

      • The precariousness of the current state-by-state winner-take-all system of awarding electoral votes is highlighted by the fact that a shift of a few thousand voters in one or two states would have elected the second-place candidate in 4 of the 13 presidential elections since World War II. Near misses are now frequently common. There have been 6 consecutive non-landslide presidential elections (1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008). 537 popular votes won Florida and the White House for Bush in 2000 despite Gore’s lead of 537,179 (1,000 times more) popular votes nationwide. A shift of 60,000 voters in Ohio in 2004 would have defeated President Bush despite his nationwide lead of over 3 million votes.

        Presidential elections don’t have to be this way.

        The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).

        Every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in presidential elections. No more distorting and divisive red and blue state maps. There would no longer be a handful of ‘battleground’ states where voters and policies are more important than those of the voters in more than 3/4ths of the states that now are just ‘spectators’ and ignored after the primaries.

        When the bill is enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes– enough electoral votes to elect a President (270 of 538), all the electoral votes from the enacting states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC.

        The bill uses the power given to each state by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution to change how they award their electoral votes for President. Historically, virtually all of the major changes in the method of electing the President, including ending the requirement that only men who owned substantial property could vote and 48 current state-by-state winner-take-all laws, have come about by state legislative action.

        In Gallup polls since 1944, only about 20% of the public has supported the current system of awarding all of a state’s electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each separate state (with about 70% opposed and about 10% undecided). Support for a national popular vote is strong among Republicans, Democrats, and Independent voters, as well as every demographic group in virtually every state surveyed in recent polls in closely divided Battleground states: CO – 68%, FL – 78%, IA 75%, MI – 73%, MO – 70%, NH – 69%, NV – 72%, NM– 76%, NC – 74%, OH – 70%, PA – 78%, VA – 74%, and WI – 71%; in Small states (3 to 5 electoral votes): AK – 70%, DC – 76%, DE – 75%, ID – 77%, ME – 77%, MT – 72%, NE 74%, NH – 69%, NV – 72%, NM – 76%, OK – 81%, RI – 74%, SD – 71%, UT – 70%, VT – 75%, WV – 81%, and WY – 69%; in Southern and Border states: AR – 80%,, KY- 80%, MS – 77%, MO – 70%, NC – 74%, OK – 81%, SC – 71%, TN – 83%, VA – 74%, and WV – 81%; and in other states polled: CA – 70%, CT – 74%, MA – 73%, MN – 75%, NY – 79%, OR – 76%, and WA – 77%. Americans believe that the candidate who receives the most votes should win.

        The bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers in 21 small, medium-small, medium, and large states. The bill has been enacted by 9 jurisdictions possessing 132 electoral votes – 49% of the 270 necessary to bring the law into effect.

      • Yes, Dale, you are correct in trying to dispell the myth of representative government in the US.

        Another point that is seldom mentioned is the lack of legitimacy of the US government for two reasons: 1) It is not representative; thus we are not governed by consent. 2) Our highly flawed Constitution has been discarded by the three branches. Oaths of office have been broken in wholesale numbers. Without a constitution, our government rules only by force. It is a government of thugs.

    • Exactly–while there are many undemocratic aspects to the American system (as noted in a prior comment about the Electoral College) and the fact that elections can be stole, for the most part, politicians legitimately reflect the general attitudes of the public. The American public believes in predatory capitalism and violence as the ultimate arbiter of contentious issues. Individually, Americans are not particularly violent, in fact, are less violent than they were when I was growing up but they are more militantly ignorant than they were back then. You have to work hard to believe the kind of crap Americans seem to believe in. Our only hope lies in awakening a hunger for knowledge and awareness otherwise we will become an institutionalized oligarchy that promises to keep people in illusions and games.

    • Representative government? Hardly. As foreseen by Lincoln:

      “”I see in the future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of the war.”

  6. Just imagine, the fate of the country may hinge on the dogged and perseverant research by one Arizona sheriff. Who da thunk it?
    Sooner or later, preferably the former, Obama and his house of cards will crack wide open. Once the camel get his head inside the tent, you know the rest of the rhyme. Obama is hanging by a thread, witness the paltry and pathetic false cockiness and arrogance when confronted with information letting even this scoundrel realize that he’s in potentially very hot water. Once we get turncoats into the logarithmic end of the curve, we could find Obama on his rocket ship back to Neptune. He has walked on water thanks to vapid pilot fish who are on the government teat. Enjoy your ephemeral freedom, Mr. Constitutional Scholar, the ominous minute and second hands are moving relentlessly against you.

    • I heard this the first month of his presidency. It was BS then and it is BS. Get used to it: Obama is the President and will likely be so for the next term. The sky is not falling.

    • No matter how bad things get the government always has to have the support of enough people to enforce its policies on the rest of the people. So all governments represent the will of a majority of their people. If it is not so then the people overthrow the government, as has happened recently in several countries.

  7. It has been stated by some very reputable organizations, some mainstream, that the actual Iraqi body count is close to 2 MILLION (1.6 – 2 million) dead in Iraq, with 4-5 MILLION ‘displaced”. The death rate in Iraq prior to the US invasion, was in the order of 80,000 a year. This is while IRAQ

    By: IlluminatiKorp . April 1, 2012 . 4:59 pm |

    • Sorry, I seem to have pressed something….
      to finish…I was typing…”This is while IRAQ” WAS UNDER MURDEROUS US SANCTIONS. Even the anti-human pschopath M Albright stated the sanctions cause “the death of over 500,000 Iraqi children…and “thought IT WAS WORTH IT.”
      So the true number of Iraq dead caused by the US could actually exceed 2 MILLION. 1991-2010. One would have to go back to the 60s-70s-80s to try and get a “natural death rate” for Iraq.

      By: IllumniatKorp . April 1, 2012 . 5:07 pm |

      • On CSPAN, I saw Madeline Albright’s response to the statement that sanctions were killing 5000 children per month in Iraq. I was flabbergasted at that impossible number. But then she said “We think it’s worth it’, rather than denying it. So it was true, she knew and she didn’t care. Truly psychopathic.

  9. Iraq had WMD??? – THAT WAS A TOTAL LIE. The vast majority of people know the war in Iraq was BASED ON LIES, not mistakes. And where was the mainstream media while LIES were being told about Iraq – and where is the mainstream media now? And speaking of mainstream media, What country was caught spying on the U.S. before and after 9-11? Why hasn’t the mainstream media reported on the FACT that it was Israel who was caught spying???

    Because the agents of Israel; AIPAC, JINSA, ADL, etc. wont allow Jewish media owners to let the TRUTH BE TOLD.

  10. I agree with most of the article, except the question: “Why isn’t “Curveball” before the International Criminal Court in the Hague?” The ICC should not be empowered at all, nor any other globalist organization that threatens our sovereignty. He should be tried here for his crimes, or Iraq (or by any of the countries comprising the Coalition of the Willing Fools). It is our job to hold these fiends accountable and they are free because we have failed in that responsibility, just as we are no longer free for the same reason.

    By: Sam Freeman . April 3, 2012 . 10:53 pm |

  11. If “curveball” were tried under our laws, of what crime could he be accused, telling lies to our glorious leasers who wished to hear them? I don’t think that lying to politicians, who are themselves liars is a crime in the US. Telling them the truth is far more dangerous: whistle-blowers are zealously prosecuted in the US. Yes, it is far more dangerous to tell the unwanted truths than to tell the wanted lies.

    Maybe, at the Hague, they could call it something prosecutable.

  12. I believe this was all done to protect the Petrodollar.

    In 2001, the State Department developed a list of seven nations that wanted to end the Petrodollar. Included in that list were Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and (I think) Qatar. Fast forward 10 years, and what has occurred?

    Iraq was overthrown, supposedly to install a regime more hospitable to the United States;
    Iran has been a continuous target of the fomentation of riots, with such activities led by the United States and Israel;
    Libya was threatened by the Bush regime, but surrendered their nuclear ambitions. The Obama regime then saw the Arab Spring as a chance to eliminate Qaddafi;
    Tunisia and Egypt were overcome by the Arab Spring;
    Syria has been under continuous threats by the United States.

    The fact that the killer of Qaddafi was photographed wearing a New York Yankees ball cap tells me all that I need to know that the overthrow of Libya was not a home-grown plot; there had to be outside influence. And the Obama regime says we were not at war with Libya! Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.
