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. IF YOU ARE DISTURBED BY DEPICTIONS OF RAPE, AND OTHER GRAPHIC SEXUAL ASSAULTS, DO NOT CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING THUMBNAILS.
