NNN Ongoing Mass Murder in Iraq NNN

A new peer-reviewed scientific study found that the illegal U.S./U.K. invasion and occupation of Iraq caused more than 655,000 "excess" deaths by mid 2006. Now it's 2007... with no end in sight (and Iran in the nuclear bombsights).

"Many argue that it is an exaggeration to say that the United States has already become a fascist country. They might agree that it is proto-fascist, or semi-fascist, but not yet the real thing. I think they are wrong. We now have a regime which truly hates democracy, and which deliberately set out to destroy it. It has all the main characteristics of fascism. It has a mobilized mass base. It flows out of an abandoned democracy (that is, a population that is willing to give up its democratic institutions out of fear, in exchange, they think, for security). It operates completely outside the law, both domestic and international. It is characterized by the tight merger of corporations with the government, a melding with religion, extreme nationalism and militarism, glorified patriotism, fear mongering, assassinations, aggressive foreign wars, suppression of domestic dissent, the corruption of science, the torture and murder of prisoners, corruption and outright criminality at the highest levels of government, destruction of unions, a monolithic propaganda machine, vicious attacks on the left, and a host of other similarities with classical fascism."  (11/2004)  "The Consolidation of Fascism, American Style" By Jasper  www.infoshop.org

These crimes are old news
This page contains some totally arbitrary and non-exhaustive information about crimes committed by the Amerikan Korporate state and its subsidiaries. So many crimes, so little time, no longer updated.

Bloomberg + NYPD ♥ RNC
 These pictures show me (in the same hat as I'm wearing in the picture above) being illegally arrested during the Republican National Convention in New York City on August 31, 2004 (see Crimes). Do I look disorderly? I am a named plaintiff in a civil-rights lawsuit against the City of New York, et al. Here is a copy of the complaint that was filed in federal court on November 8, 2005.

     

As of February 2007, the NYC government continues to waste untold quantities of PUBLIC money, time, and resources by dragging out legal proceedings as long as possible in order to protect Billionaire Bloomberg and his top thug Killer Kelly (RIP Sean Bell and other victims of the NYPD) from the political consequences of their criminal actions during the RNC.

"Accurately sensing that they lack the financial resources to meaningfully shape policy and opinion in a corporate-plutocratic political and ideological system, America's fragmented, exhausted, terrorized, commercially carpet-bombed, and relentlessly privatized population turns away from politics and public affairs to a remarkable degree. It is in danger of becoming an ex-citizenry, taking the risk once and all out of democracy and permitting the policymakers and their super-wealthy patrons and allies to rule with animalistic impunity. Its tendency towards public retreat and disinterest is fed by an objectively totalitarian corporate-state media, which banalizes deception, and mass manufactures despair and idiocy. That media subjects the populace to a unremitting onslaught of commercial and falsely "popular"-cultural messages advancing the authoritarian notion that the only solutions to social and political problems are found in the private sphere and the realm of commodity exchange."  "A Dark Independence Day For American Historians:  PBS's Pathetic Panel" By Paul Street    http://www.zmag.org/
