No Rest For The Dead

Footage of US Marines urinating on the corpses of Afghans has gone viral; the White House has condemned the actions displaying in the video, which shows four US Marines desecrating the bodies of Afghan men, lifelessly sprawled out on the ground – there are no apparent weapons belonging to the deceased men in plain sight yet due to the ‘good soldier’ vs. ‘bad foreigner’ narrative propagated by the mainstream media, in which US armed forces are always portrayed as being the good soldiers, the story-line is that the Afghans being urinated on were “Taliban.”

Despite this assumption, the barbarity is evident for all those who wish to see – for those who are willing to remove their nationalist blinders. Read more

Surviving Guantánamo

Without having being charged nor having committed a crime – and even after the authorities admitted that they had “made a mistake”, he was told that he would still have to go to Guantánamo Bay for a duration or he would have to lie and claim having a link with Osama Bin Laden, so that the authorities would in turn be able to save face.

‘I spent one year Bagram Air Base, then I was transferred to Guantánamo Bay; I was not allowed to sleep. I was not allowed to use the bathroom.
For six months they kept me in a refrigerator naked. It’s hard to explain. After spending 6 months in a refrigerator I have lost my hearing. The way I was treated…animals are not even treated this way…’

Remembering The Mahmudiyah Massacre

Mahmudiyah is a rural city south of Baghdad, Iraq and it is home to some 550,000 Iraqi’s.
In March of 2006, in a small home found in southwest of Yusifyah, a village located west of Al-Mahmudiya, Iraq, a massacre took place.

14 year-old Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi, one of 4 children living in the Al-Janabi household, was being watched; she had told her mother,Fakhriyah, that US soldiers had made advances towards her:

“Abeer told her mother again and again in her last days that the soldiers had made advances toward her, a neighbor, Omar Janabi, said this weekend, recounting a conversation he said he had with the girl’s mother, Fakhriyah, on March 10. Fakhriyah feared that the Americans might come for her daughter at night, at their home. She asked her neighbor if Abeer might sleep at his house, with the women there. Janabi said he agreed. Then, ‘I tried to reassure her, remove some of her fear,’ Janabi said. ‘I told her, the Americans would not do such a thing.’

The very next day US troops invaded Abeer’s home, separating the 14 year-old girl from her father, mother and younger sister. Abeer’s brother’s were not home that day, school had saved them from the fate their sister, mother and father would suffer.

On March 12, 2006 5 soldiers from the 502nd Infantry Regiment, part of the 4th Infantry Division, discussed plans to rape 14 year-old Abeer. Read more
