Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorist Links Found!

by Kennie Anderson Wednesday, Mar. 12, 2003 at 7:13 PM
anderson@landofhypocrisy.com

An open letter submitted to select United Nations officials, Security Council members, US congressmen and senators, and members of the media.

March 10, 2003

To Whom It May Concern:

I write to you now with urgent, inside information. This information is of concern to us all and requires immediate action. There is indisputable evidence of a regime that:

1) Has strong links to terrorist networks

2) Possesses weapons of mass destruction

3) Poses a threat to the peace and stability of the world

4) Kills and tortures it's own people and denies them of basic human rights

5) Ignores international law

6) Refuses to allow inspection teams or to disarm

7) Achieved power by threats, lies, and bribes, not by democratic election

8) Accumulated massive wealth, while tens of millions live in poverty

This information may come as shocking, because this regime has systematically participated in a global disinformation campaign, blinding much of the world with it's totalitarian propaganda. But, I assure you that the information I have to share is accurate and well documented.

1) Strong links to terrorist networks

This regime provided the Taliban with over $200 million in funding, including a $43 million gift that was announced on May 17, 2001. Members of this regime have worked for oil companies financed by the Bin Ladens. Family members of this regime have stayed at the Bin Laden palace in Saudi Arabia. Family members of this regime trained, financed, and provided weapons for Osama Bin Laden.

This regime has other strong links to terrorists all over the world, including paramilitaries in Colombia, violent forces in Israel, and former death squad members in Indonesia.

2) Possesses weapons of mass destruction

This regime has control of more weapons of mass destruction than any other on Earth. It should also be noted that the country under the control of this regime originated, developed, and sold weapons of mass destruction. It should also be noted that the country has used more of those weapons than any other nation, including the use of two of its over 10,000 nuclear bombs. It should also be noted that the range of a large percentage of its weapons exceeds 90 miles.

3) Poses a threat to the peace and stability of the world

This regime and the regimes that preceded it over the past 60 years have been directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of over 10 million civilians all over the world, including Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Japan, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Greece, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Grenada, Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Chile, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Mozambique, and many others.

4) Kills and tortures it's own people and denies them of basic human rights

The leader of this regime has endorsed hundreds of executions of his own people, including completely innocent men such as Shaka Sankofa. This regime has denied citizens of its country basic human rights through its domestic policies (including the refusal to provide healthcare) and its legislation (including The Patriot Act). This regime has detained over a thousand citizens since September 11, 2001 and subjected them to inhumane conditions.

5) Ignores international law

This regime has been a blatant violator of international treaties and law, including: the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming, Article 54 of the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, numerous U.N. resolutions, and other international agreements.

6) Refuses to allow inspection teams or to disarm

The regime is required to allow in UN weapons inspectors in accordance with treaties banning chemical and biological weapons, but legislation was passed in 1997 that denies international inspections of the nation's weapons facilities. Instead of disarming, the current regime has been building more weapons of mass destruction at a ferocious pace. The regime's federal budget for 2003 includes $776 billion in military spending.

7) Achieved power by threats, lies, and bribes, not by democratic election

The regime achieved power, despite receiving 539,898 fewer votes than its primary rival. 234 million citizens of the country (154 million of voting age) did not vote for the regime that's in power. Deceit, subversion, and bribery (including $4 million to block out legal voters) allowed this coup to take power.

8) Accumulated massive wealth, while tens of millions live in poverty

While over 30 millions of its people live below the poverty line, the regime in power has accumulated tens of millions of dollars, including a Vice President who received over $45 million from Halliburton, and a President who received millions in contributions and assistance from Enron.



As you can see, the situation is out of control, and the world must take swift, decisive action.

I will hereby strongly urge the United Nations to take preventative action against this brutal regime known as the Bush Administration. Steps should be taken to prepare for an immediate invasion. A final resolution should be presented, requiring the complete disarmament of The United States of America. U.S. refusal to disarm and allow inspection teams should be met with a strong assault to forcefully remove these weapons of mass destruction that threaten the planet. Military intervention might also be avoided if George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and other members of the junta go into permanent exile.

Once the United States has agreed to disarm or is forced to disarm, UN enforced sanctions should be imposed. The nation that has become accustomed to consuming vastly more resources and goods than most other nations combined must be subjected to a blockade. All varieties of goods, such as water purificators, medicine, school supplies, and food should be severely restricted to ensure that the United States will not acquire the means to develop more weapons of mass destruction.

Please seriously consider the facts listed, the evidence provided, and the suggestions for action. The time to act is now, before civilization is destroyed!



Sincerely,

Kennie Anderson

get this out

by four legs good two legs bad Wednesday, Mar. 12, 2003 at 10:13 PM

This is a well thought out post, and I',m gonna personally get this out to the public. In fact I'm gonna hand this out at our weekly ant-war-protest.

The Bush Junta is definatley out to enrich themselves with oil deals and corporate give aways. Weve got to stop them like you say before it's too late

Even MORE evidence of Iraqi perfidy:

sounds like the US

by systemfailure Thursday, Mar. 13, 2003 at 9:38 AM

1) Has strong links to terrorist networks

Wasnt it the united states that funded the "afgani freedom fighters" against the russians.

Ever hear of Iran-contra?

2) Possesses weapons of mass destruction

Unlike the US that posesses no WMD

3) Poses a threat to the peace and stability of the world

In a recent poll released in Britian.

Who poses a greater threat to world stability.......america or iraq?

Brits overwhelmingly voted "america"

4) Kills and tortures it's own people and denies them of basic human rights

Waco?

Ruby ridge?

Ever read about police brutality cases?

guantanamo bay?

the tuskeegee experiment?

The patriot act ?

5) Ignores international law

To quote GW, "we might have to go at this unilaterally"....does that count

6) Refuses to allow inspection teams or to disarm

the american people like yourself would shit thier pants if the UN wanted to do inspections here.

7) Achieved power by threats, lies, and bribes, not by democratic election

WHat happened in the 2000 election?

8) Accumulated massive wealth, while tens of millions live in poverty

Well, this is a given that 1% of the american population owns 90% of the wealth.

Why don't you think for yourself insead of believing in some bullshit war that will waste millions that could be better spent here (see question 8)

Oh, and simple simon, FUCK YOU TOO LYING SACK OF SHIT.

Hey, systemfailure...

by POIO Thursday, Mar. 13, 2003 at 9:44 AM

pssst...

"I will hereby strongly urge the United Nations to take preventative action against this brutal regime known as the Bush Administration. "

;-)

I understand though, it gets trying to read through (what appears) to be their same old recycled crap over and over. Notice simple suckup didn't even bother reading it, haha.

WHADDUP!!!!

by systemfailure Thursday, Mar. 13, 2003 at 10:06 AM

whats up POIO

Yeah it does get to be a drag, not only answering questions to these "programs" but also having to go back everytime and explain the "context" of the question (that theyfail to see every time)

Keep up the pressure on these NAZI's and continue the struggle.

We are in a new renaissance(sic?) due to the effects of the internet on the world opinion

Oh, i also caught simple dumfuck lying about being a "special forces soldier"

thanks for the support

peace love and anarchy

They're just stonewalling, bullshitting, hope to slow down their own demise

by Pissed Off in Ohio Thursday, Mar. 13, 2003 at 10:26 AM

Yeah they fail to see the context as a deliberate act of self imposed blindness, much the same way as they continue to support an obviously hypocritical, self-serving, power hungry, greedy *FALSELY ELECTED* administration of MURDERERS in its pursuit of total world domination.

It's entirely intentional, and the debate is merely meant to slow us down quibbling over details and spelling/grammatical mistakes in the hope that we might somehow sway their opinion. We won't. The only way they will accept logic is if it's applied via crowbar directly upside their thick skulls (be patient guys, there's plenty to go around).

Yeah, the only thing that keeps me going is the hope that some day i might wake up and this whole thing will be over. I'm living for that day right now. Until that day comes, well, they can kill me but otherwise they won't shut me up.

And yes, you'll catch simon in many lies, its his business, and he's no good at it. "special forces soldier", hahaha. He couldn't assault his way out of a wet paper bag. But i'm sure he could proof-read the ads on that bag like a mad motherfucker in the 8 hours it takes him to escape it's tyranny.

Speaking of escaping tyranny... We will. Have faith everyone. I know it seems like there's no way out, and like you're pissing in the wind as a tidal wave approaches, but carry on. We will emerge victorious, or they will kill us. In either case at least we get closure.





Please turn off CNN, it's rotting that thing between your ears

by Simple Simon Friday, Mar. 14, 2003 at 4:31 PM

Well, Ms. Manners, let’s review EXACTLY what I put down.

“Basic / AIT Harmony Church, Fort Benning August – November 1985

MOS’ 11B2HP 19K20

Units of assignment (Active): 1/504 PIR; 3rd US Infantry; 1st Special Warfare Training Group.

Units of assignment (Reserve): 1/148 INF, 1/147 INF (later armor), 1/125 INF, and currently.”

I fail to see how you got so confused, but then again, I must take into account your limited brain capacity. If you need a tutor, just ask.

You couldn’t out debate or out think whatever it is I deposited in my toilet this morning, and judging by the extra matter you’re toting around your waist I doubt your ability to outmaneuver a roach coach.

All of this is merely a tempest in a teacup, of course. You choose to go on the offensive against me to avoid having to explain your ignorant, libelous accusations. You claimed that US Special Operations soldiers poison water supplies – I called you on that lie, and you’ve been in CYA mode ever since. You claimed that there were UN resolutions which called for the democratization of Kuwait – I called you on that, and you’ve been in CYA mode ever since.

Admit you’re wrong. Admit you just shot your fool lazy mouth off. Then you can go on and comment about something else you’re ignorant of, and I can light you up again.

And the Red Ball Leather Mask Award

by stop the slaughter Thursday, Aug. 21, 2003 at 2:57 PM

And the red mouth ball in the leather mask (without eye or ear holes) award goes to simple simon,

who appears to be the best thing that ever happened to himself.

The only one who believes your constant bush-shit is you, and your fellow brainwashed lemmings. You aren't fooling anyone.

Continue running from the truth with your blinders on, run, run, run.....and jump with the rest of them.
