Ignorance Concerning Iraq Is Not Bliss

As with most Americans, I was totally ignorant regarding Iraq, admitting such I began a search for understanding. The initial discoveries however were inexplicable if to describe normal war development and later effects. The deeper I went pointed more correctly to a deliberate plan of carnage going from demented to treachery. The deeper one digs, the more evidence is found that these conditions are not the results of war, but a program with underlying purpose to perpetuate the indefensible. Iraq is not a scene going from bad to worse; it is the work of twisted minds in which the weakest and least able, or concerning the propaganda fed ourselves and troops, being people's used for progressively dark purpose of greed, power and gluttony. Despite deceptive reports about sect's of Iraq involved in religious killing, these people had long before Saddam lived together. For those unaware, there is considerable evidence of covert forces involved in False-Flag programs to cause "Strategic Tension" of ulterior purpose for sectarian and religious division.

In the beginning of my search regarding this quagmire in Iraq, the first mention of Camp Freedom the US Military base in Taszar, Hungry found began for the Kosovo war. However by year 1999 was used secretly to train what was called 'Free Iraqi Forces', note this beginning well before the pre-emptive war with Iraq. It began in secret; this as far as US media coverage of any value, apparently as far as citizens knew was an agreement made with Hungarian officials back in 1995 or before. It involved an old Russian base with air strip adequate as a staging location for US forces involved in the Baltics war of Kosovo, perhaps from year 1999 for a war with Iraq. In this later case described however as for training Iraqi volunteer's who might overthrow Saddam. There was found very little evidence that if overthrow was tried again (after the 1980's debacle) any success would be probable, especially as the combat training was repeatedly said only with small arms and similar equipment. More evident was that they would be used as spotters and later in organizing a defeated Iraq.

The first mention of Halliburton involved in this Taszar base was in the "Labor of Love" by Brown and Root Service (with contracted labor) in building the "Peace Chapel" church, the chaplain saying the church dedication received full military and local honor. Brown and Root Services is connected to this military base as a subsidiary of Halliburton, today this subsidiary is renamed Kellog Brown and Root.

An overview of this Halliburton operation serviced by Kellog Brown and Root was to supply maintenance and other supportive services to this new US military base. The story includes some interesting data connecting Cheney and Halliburton to ongoing clandestine training of "Free Iraqi Forces" before the pre-emptive Iraq war, following the pre-emptive war this base next used in training present-day Iraq "Police."

Also involved in this training of Iraq "Police" was the former NY city Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik (aka Baghdad Terminator), hired by the Defense Dept to train these Iraq 'Police'. Unfortunately depending upon how you look at it, the people he selected for training turned out to be mostly the old Saddam regime, subsequently this group was (supposedly) disbanded, with Bernard quitting mid-term even before the graduation of this first group.

Of additional interest, this Taszar Hungarian base that fulfilled the purpose of staging facilities for Iraq, was also important during the Baltic's Kosovo war, giving an idea to the size and extent for which this base was used. During the Kosovo war the Defense Dept not only furnished conventional US military under NATO forces, they also contracted a US Mercenary force named Military Professional Resources Inc (MPRI) to train the opposition. So called opposition because they are a small band of Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) said to be organized crime and sometimes called Al Quaeda involved with the drug trade out of Afghanistan.

After these initial discoveries, one of the first hit's in a web-search on the Taszar, Hungry (Camp Freedom), brought up an Air Force article that describes bases they set up around the world beginning in a period around early 1990's to present, including this base in Taszar. Midway through this article begins mention of civilian 'contractors' in connection to the air force program. Suspiciously this global military-base construction a mirror image of the radical "Project for the New American Century" group (spokesman being Dick Cheney then Dept of Defense Dir) making up most of the Bush-Admin, specifically their "Constabulary" military-base superiority over all nations on earth, including Allies.

Another webpage article regarding the Taszar base is the US Army TF 1/61 (Task Force 1/61 Roadrunner) describing how they began training these Iraqi 'volunteer's' in late 1990's. The training in this case described also as including 'small arm combat missions'. To note again, this is well before the Iraq pre-emptive war.

Also involved is the former head of the Iraq Army, being one Gen Nizar Al-Khazraji (under Saddam) who also is said connected to this Taszar base. He had fled from Iraq to Denmark and here placed under house arrest in connection to charges of killing Kurds. Shortly afterward reported as having been spirited out of Denmark by the CIA, the suggested reason to assist in Taszar training.

What this is all leading up to is the suspected connection of these "Police" to the large numbers of Iraqi militia's (or Secret Police) turning up or "popping up" in the last year or so. The militia we trained for Allawi and flew with him into Iraq during the pre-emptive invasion, being similar (or identical) to these 'pop-up' reported allowed by the Pentagon to roam freely while killing and torturing. Not only do they have sophisticated training and armaments, they are very possibly involved in what is termed as "civil war," most often or primarily resulting in deaths of the Sunni minority. The majority of these militia's traced back to people we helped be elected as Iraq-gov. These deaths are reported as increasing numbers of "disappeared" who later are found tortured to death and at times still wearing expensive handcuffs, adding to suspicion this is the Pentagon 'Salvador Option'. Both the coalition government and US military leaders are aware of these militia's, disclaiming them by saying we don't call them militia's because militia's are illegal.

This carnage is taking on less an appearance of civil war, and more as today being called 'death squad' activity. US military has actually caught one of these death squads connected to the Iraq Ministry of the Interior. The mission of this death squad was in killing of the minority Sunni. What furthers the suspicion of death squads is a similar US Defense Dept contingency plan called the "Salvador Option." Those not familiar with the Salvador nation killing, it was during Pres-Reagan's term that support was given to the Salvador government involved with dissidents (aka citizens) called communists, who were systematically tortured and murdered to get rid of them. Very recently the Iraq-gov rescinded their license and kicked the Blackwater Mercenary out because of indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians.

The evidence of deliberate plan of keeping Iraq in complete and continuous destabelization and destitution is evidenced by the six years of uncontrolled theft and bribery not limited to Iraq locals, but in vastly greatest part Pentagon contracted (non-competitive) contracts to cronies limited almost entirely from America. Evidence of theft is rampant and still going on, almost all of the $50-Billion turned over by the UN has either disappeared, or was mis-appropriated in gluttony of contract profits. This (deliberate and continious) program has left the entire nation of Iraq in worse condition than during all of Saddams reign. The greatest accomplishment in Iraq after over $1-Trillion US-Tax dollars (mostly off-book), is total lack of even the basics of life in Iraq, and an Iraq-gov we stacked by pre-established laws and decree's, now being enforced by proxy agents of the Iraq-gov.

What has finally emerged as the reason for this long drawn out quagmire and setting up of a front Iraqi government, is a privatizing law that will now put the Iraqi oil industry into the hands of the US/Brit Oil Cartel. There is evidence that the Oil-Cartel has already made strong inroads into the Northern Kurdish oil fields, the Iraq government however are balking at this attempt to force a law allowing take over of Iraqi oil industry.

Just as serious in what appears as disinformation regarding Iraq civil war, are Friendly Fire deaths that are deliberate, these involve Private Contractor (Mercenary) that have been found indiscriminately shooting Iraqi, some also suspected (with good reason) as involved in shooting at US military.

There is an infamous video of Brit or US Mercenary (diction indicated US) driving through Iraq in a SUV playing shoot-im-up killing (more accurately murdering) Iraqi citizens.

As an extra example of how far off the track our Government and Defense Dept has gone, this web page article concerns many hundreds of gallons of very dangerous Sarin-gas chemicals being destroyed at an Army Depot near Birmingham, Alabama. This despite the fact our Defense Dept denies Chemical War stockpiles, also that we have signed int'l-agreement's against such weapons.
