A 21st Century mass
murderer - liar - cheat- and war-monger receives US
Presidential Medal for Services to Freedom.

A medal for Blair?
NO!-He should be on
trial for WAR CRIMES.

[Daily
Mail-Thursday, January 8,2009]
ONLY the second
week of January, and yet it is safe to say that the
announcement that President George W. Bush has
awarded Tony Blair the Presidential medal for
Services to freedom must take the prize for the most
nauseating single news item of 2009.
Of course, we can
understand why Bush in the dying days of his
disastrous presidency would want to 'honour' the
ONLY national leader who took his country into two
aggressive wars alongside America, when BLAIR might
actually have
PREVENT
THEM BY REFUSING TO JOIN IN.
The Medal is really
a consolation prize awarded to one rejected
war-monger (prematurely retired as Prime Minister in
2007, largely because of IRAQ) by another (a
president with the lowest poll rating in American
History, again because of IRAQ.)
YET instead of
being awarded a medal, BLAIR ought to be standing
trial for CRIMINAL DECEPTION of the BRITISH
PARLIAMENT and PEOPLE by DISHONESTLY leading them
into an ILLEGAL WAR against IRAQ.
How bitterly ironic
that now he is supposed to be a Middle East envoy -a
task at which he has proved to be totally
ineffectual. he has made no difference to the
situation there and is routinely IGNORED by EVERYONE
involved. -just look at the INVASION of the
GAZA STRIP by the ISRAELIS.
Compare his
complete lack of success in the role of bringing
peace with diligence and enthusiasm he showed
starting a war.
Such was his
commitment in that role he ought to be
STANDING TRIAL in an INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL for WAR
CRIMES, including the plotting of aggressive war
(the central charge against the NAZI LEADERSHIP in
the NUREMBERG TRIALS in 1946) and
CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY.
Consider the
evidence already documented by the Hutton Inquiry in
2003 into the circumstances of
weapons
expert
Dr
David
Kelly's
death, and the
Review of Intelligence
on Weapons of mass destruction carried out in 2004
by a Committee of privy Counsellors under Lord
Butler.

on the subject of Dr David Kelly and THE HUTTON
REPORT and much else in our
IRAQ WAR file
and MAIN BULLETIN file
for you to view.]
[EVIDENCE TO
FOLLOW]
PART 2
THIS evidence in
both these inquires makes clear that Blair and his
accomplice Alastair Campbell, with the supine
connivance of their 'sofa-cabinet' colleagues,
deliberately set out to deceive the nation by
claiming that Saddam Hussein presented an immediate
threat to the UK through his ability to deploy
weapons of mass destruction within
45 MINUTES
In fact he
possessed
NO WEAPONS
OF MASS DESTRUCTION AT ALL
The
Butler
report
of
July
2004
[Each
underlined word has a separate bulletin]
paints a gruesome
picture of how BLAIR and his colleagues, together
with the compliant
JOHN SCARLETT
(Chairman of
the Joint Intelligence Committee)
set out to
manufacture a dossier that would convince the
British people that an attack on IRAQ was
acceptable.
[What we find
incredible was that the HOUSE OF COMMONS after it
was aware of the actions of the Chairman of the JIC
- JOHN SCARLETT that there was not a MOTION in the
HOUSE to bring him to the Bar of the House to
explain his treasonable conduct. Instead they
allowed him to be promoted to one of the two most
sensitive security posts in the country MI6.
Is there any wonder that the public are
disillusioned with their politicians for their
blatant disregard to the honour of their House that
they would permit such a travesty of justice to be
flouted before the people who it is their DUTY to
SERVE. Mr Scarlett should be removed from his
job of defending us all from foreign aggression as
he is himself a constant affront and reminder of a
course of action which has lowered the reputation of
our once respected country for decades to come.]
According to
BUTLER, the 45 minute claim should NEVER had been
included. the dossier should have made clear
that the evidence of WMD was LIMITED and UNRELIABLE.
What's more, the Joint Intelligence Committee should
NEVER have authored the DOSSIER, as this gave it
UNDUE AUTHORITY. And finally, the key
decisions over its drafting and publication
SHOULD HAVE
BEEN TAKEN BY THE FULL CABINET.
NOT BY
BLIAR'S
CRONIES.

[The appointment of John Scarlett as
head of MI6 a French asset was in keeping with the
view that 'it being facilitated by the continued
FOREIGN penetration of MI6, with its GO-2 so-called
drugs operation also based at Vauxhall, just over
the Lambeth bridge, which actually facilitates the
distribution of drugs into Britain via two DRUG
CARTELS, and presides over the resulting DRUG MONEY
payola system of financing principal UK POLITICAL
PARTIES, using inter alia offshore accounts.
It is by these BLACK means that MI6 and GO-2
CONTROL the POLITICAL PARTIES and ensure that any
measure liable to interfere with the long-term
EU/GERMAN/FRENCH
/DVD operation
against BRITAIN is always frustrated -using
BLACKMAIL, CORRUPT PAYMENTS-THREATS-PRESSURE
-COERCION-HARASSMENT and INTIMIDATION.
It has been said:
WHY HAS ALL THIS NEVER BEEN
PUBLISHED? If this corruption were
generally known, the European Union Collective would
collapse.
When
the Editor- Christopher Story
www.worldreports.org asked this pertinent
question, a key source responded:
'You have answered it yourself! it has never been
published precisely because the
EUROPEAN
UNION would fall
apart if the payola system and the generalised
corruption were known. No-one has the guts to
publish this -except you'. SPECIAL ISSUE ON EU
CORRUPTION-OCTOBER-2005]
Returning to Mr Barnett's article:
The importance of the DOSSIER for an INDICTMENT of
BLIAR for WAR CRIMES lies in two things.
FIRST, it documents how in 2002-3 BLIAR and
CO were actively endorsing aggressive war against
another SOVEREIGN STATE.
SECOND, BLIAR was to go on using its DODGY
EVIDENCE and FALSE ARGUMENTS in his PUBLIC SPEECHES
-in TV INTERVIEWS and FINALLY in the CRUCIAL
HOUSE of COMMONS eve-of -war DEBATE in MARCH 2003
which gave him an overwhelming VOTE in SUPPORT of
the [ILLEGAL] INVASION.
[We believe a little digging beneath the surface by
HER MAJESTY'S OPPOSITION would have clearly shown
the rabid false pretences. Their member on the JIC
Michael Mates must have smelled a rat but instead of
warning his LEADER he with the other members of the
committee kept their mouths shut and as a
consequence they are as culpable of the wrong as the
main players in the CONSPIRACY.]
That debate
stands as a special example of Bliar's skill at
DECEIT -not only because of what he said and the
trembling, heartfelt oratory with which he said it,
but also because, with British and American forces
in the Gulf already on their starting lines, IT WAS
ALREADY TOO LATE! for BRITAIN TO STAND ASIDE.
THUS DID BLIAR LAUNCH A WAR OF AGGRESSION
We now know for sure that it was
AN ILLEGAL WAR
lacking as it did the authorisation from the UN
Security Council and breaching as it did the
UN CHARTER
outlawing war except in
SELF DEFENCE.
In fact, we now know that only because of enormous
personal pressure from BLIAR and CO did
ATTORNEY-GENERAL LORD GOLDSMITH change his earlier
advice that without a further UN RESOLUTION (the UN
had previously passed a RESOLUTION demanding IRAQ
fulfil DISARMAMENT obligations) the war would indeed
be ILLEGAL.
Such is the case against Bliar on the central count
of planning and perpetrating armed aggression.
But what about the other counts in
AN INDICTMENT OF BLIAR FOR WAR CRIMES-
such as
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY?
*
BLIAR'S wars and occupations of IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN
have so far cost the lives of
316
British servicemen and women, plus some
7,000
wounded [many having horrendous wounds from bomb
blasts against fragile vehicles totally unsuitable
for the terrain and the war they were
fighting. The MoD was negligent and criminal in not
bringing in more protective vehicles earlier which
would have saved many lives.]
For this needless waste of LIFE and LIMB, and the
GRIEF of THEIR FAMILIES, TONY BLAIR is the man
RESPONSIBLE.
When it comes to the suffering of the Iraqi people,
Blair's culpability cannot be separated from Bush's.
But just as the Nazi leaders were collectively as
well as individually indicted at Nuremberg, so BLAIR
and BUSH should be collectively indicted for the
human and material consequences of their attack on
Iraq.
[We have to face the fact that not only did Tony
Blair-John Scarlett and the other members of the JIC
and the Opposition leader and indeed Parliament
itself show how corrupt and disloyal they were to
the timeless honourable reputation of the House of
Commons but it was but a short step from
selling its CONSTITUTION and LIBERTIES to a FOREIGN
POWER to being accomplices to an ILLEGAL WAR.]
Nobody knows for sure the total of Iraqi men women
and children slaughtered in the cross-fire between
insurgents and the occupiers since the
invasion, but estimates vary between
100,000
and
600.000
The number of refuges within Iraq and of those who
have fled to neighbouring countries like Jordan and
Syria stands at four million -four million!
4,000,000.
And even today, six years after the appalling
'shock- and -awe' onslaught of cruise missiles and
bombs on Baghdad and other cities. Iraq's
infrastructure has still not been restored to what
it was under Saddam Hussein.
The world long remembers the Germans' bombing of
Guernica in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War as a
prototype war crime and the precursor to the
Luftwaffe's destruction of Warsaw in 1939 and
Rotterdam in 1940. In each of these cases the
attacks were launched against countries posing no
threat to GERMANY -just as Saddam Hussein's IRAQ
posed NO THREAT to AMERICA and BRITAIN.
What then would. or should an INTERNATIONAL WAR
-CRIMES TRIBUNAL make of the 'shock-and-awe' or the
pitiless American bombardment of FALLUJA in 2004?
Although the strategy and the armed forces were
American, Tony Blair was Bush's loyal accomplice
throughout. he is therefore 'an accessory after the
fact' in these WAR CRIMES, and as such INDICTABLE.
Perhaps Blair should sport Bush's 'Freedom' medal
when he finally
STANDS IN THE DOCK IN THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF
JUSTICE AT THE HAGUE.
