Hypocritical Saddam trial: US sold him the WMD's

Foreign Press Foundation - Henk Ruyssenaars | 21.08.2006 16:08 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

Since this morning we can see and hear the blatant lies and cover up by the US/Israeli propaganda outlets: we should never know nor understand that it also were chemicals and poison gas from the United States and 'allies', sold by their Dutch 'Ali Chemicali' representative, that killed people in Halabja.

FPF- Amsterdam - August 21 - 2006 - It doesn't matter what ever propaganda outlet in the mainstream media is chosen in any country in the US/Israel sphere of power. Today they all carry the same headline as AP (Assorted Propaganda) has been filing globally: "Saddam Hussein's second trial begins in high-profile Anfal case." The Jerusalem Post is as bad as The New York Times, and like most others runs the AP lies too: ''Saddam Hussein opened his second trial with a show of defiance Monday, refusing to enter a plea on charges of genocide and war crimes connected to his scorched-earth offensive against Kurds nearly two decades ago."

Saddam and his army is also accused ''of using prohibited mustard gas and nerve agents, but the trial does not deal with the most notorious gassing - the March 1988 attack on Halabja that killed an estimated 5,000 Kurds. That incident will be part of a separate investigation by the Iraqi High Tribunal." [ ] - More of the same propaganda via Google's mainstream selection - Url.:   http://tinyurl.com/o5so2

US SENATOR LIEBERMAN: SADDAM HUSSEIN IS A GOOD FRIEND OF AMERICA

Most people recognize the well known stench of US hypocrisy: it was American made gas that was used to kill in Halabja, and it was sold by Saddam's 'good friends' - the US war industry. They had - among many - also a Dutch representative for the american weapons of mass destruction which were sold internationally in the war theaters - Frans van Anraat. But, van Anraat found out he was a 'Kleenex-agent' - used and thrown away when he was not needed anymore. His US employers via their CIA 'sold' him, and he was used to cover up their blame.

US AGENT AND DUTCH 'ALI CHEMICALI' WAS HIDDEN BY DUTCH INTELLIGENCE WHILE THE POLICE WAS LOOKING FOR HIM...

Remember? - The joke is like this: 2 criminals meet. Says one: "I've got some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first? - Says criminal #2: "Let's have the bad stuff first". States criminal #1: "The police is after us!" Asks #2: "Then what's the good news?" - Says criminal number 1: "It's the Dutch police!"

So, 'Ali Chemicali' the Dutch war criminal who was the agent for the US etc. selling chemicals for poison gas to Saddam, ended up in jail. He was 'sacrificed' by the 'police' and used as the 'fall guy' by the US, the CIA, Mossad and other secret services he also worked for.

But, with Anfal - the gassing of people in Halabja so prominent on some front pages again - the American war machine must again rely heavily on the brainwashing by it's 'PNAC Propaganda Press' - (PPP): because it was chemicals and gas from Fort Detrick and the war industry in Maryland in the US, that in March 1988 also killed the people in Halabja. Sold by Dutch US-agent Frans van Anraat, who after the usual juridical show trial and farce got 15 years in jail for his role in the PNAC's 'Coalition of the Killing'. While the US firms which supplied the WMD's walk free of course. Like when they scared the hell out of some people with their inside job on 9/11 and following anthrax parody - all home made in the US. - Url.:   http://tinyurl.com/s7pnw
THE HORRIBLE HOLOCAUSTER OF HALABJA

Via all disinformation channels the 'propaganda press' now tries to indoctrinate the world, that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein still is the greatest Beast ever. He's not only the 'Butcher of Baghdad' but also the 'Horrible Holocauster of Halabja'. And, of course: Saddam Hussein was bad, but all the time he - like many other killing despots - was one of the best allies the US military industrial complex had. Which together with the NSA/CIA supported Saddam in every way in his atrocious war against Iran. Trained, fed and paid him for his deeds, and that included gassing people. You can see war criminal Donald Rumsfeld visiting war criminal Saddam Hussein in those pictures - Url.:   http://tinyurl.com/hvhc6

''In 1988 Saddam Hussein with chemical and biological weapons was an ally of the West, lauded even by former vice-presidential candidate U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman, as a good dictator and friend of America. As long as Saddam showered Iranian troops with mustard and nerve gas, and developed germs to infect Iran, that, by Washington's utilitarian morality, was A-OK." - (Eric Margolis, Foreign Correspondent, March 29, 2002 - Url.:   http://www.bigeye.com/032902.htm)

"According to a 1990 report - The Poison Gas Connection - issued by the L.A.-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, more than 207 companies from 21 western countries, including at least 18 from the United States, contributed to the buildup of Saddam Hussein's arsenal. Subsequent investigations turned up more than 100 more companies participating in the Iraqi weapons buildup." (Dennis Bernstein, Puritan News weekly, February 25, 1998 - Url.:   http://www.puritans.net/news/wmd030703.htm). - And the Wiesenthal Center and the rest of the PNAC mafia really recognize who foments a Holocaust when they see one...*

THE STENCH OF HYPOCRISY

Of course and as usual the whole matter stinks, as already Robert Fisk wrote who was there: "The other smell I recall this week is the stink of hypocrisy when - in 1990 - the world's statesmen began to whip their people into line for war against the man they had supported in his conflict against Iran. The French had sold Saddam Mirage jets. The Germans had provided him with the gas that had me almost wretching on the train from Ahwaz.

The Americans had sold him helicopters for spraying crops with pesticide (the "crops", of course, being human beings). The British gave Saddam bailey bridges. And I later met the Cologne arms dealer who flew from the Pentagon to Baghdad with U.S. satellite photos of the Iranian front lines - to help Saddam kill more Iranians. " (Robert Fisk, Independent, February 16, 1998 - Url.:   http://www.chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/pol/indep212.html).

AND HOW DID THE PNAC'S PROPAGANDA PRESS HELP TO HIDE THE FACTS?

AMERICA TORE OUT 8000 PAGES OF THE IRAQ DOSSIER FOR THE UN!

So for all collaborators worldwide 'the need to report disappeared'. But, that was not the case with the 'very underreported' story in the Sunday Herald on 22 December 2002, written by James Cusick and Felicity Arbuthnot: "The United States edited out more than 8000 crucial pages of Iraq's 11,800-page dossier on weapons, before passing on a sanitised version to the 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations security council. The full extent of Washington's complete control over who sees what in the crucial Iraqi dossier calls into question the allegations made by US Secretary of State Colin Powell that 'omissions' in the document constituted a 'material breach' of the latest UN resolution on Iraq. - [  http://tinyurl.com/5afvh]

But the whole mafia of propaganda pimps and dish bitches treated Powell's lies is if it were the truth. Even if this Uncle Tom and his ilk behind the UN scene had been ripping out the evidence concerning also the US's crimes against humanity, by selling weapons of mass destruction to Saddam. (Most - by the way - deteriorate within a few years) - The proof that a Maryland firm was one of them who for decades had been selling the chemicals for mustard gas and other BC-weapons, turned up again last December in the court case against the American's Dutch agent 'Frans van Anraat', who sold the deadly products.

THE CIA INTERVENED - LIKE THEY THINK THEY CAN DO EVERYWHERE ON OUR EARTH

And on the pages of the global propaganda press it's not published that Dutch prosecutor Fred van Teeven never mentioned any US, French, British, German, Italian, Dutch or other murderous multinationals. According to him Frans van Anraat (64) had been a suspect since 1989, when he was arrested in Milan, Italy, at the request of the US government. But the CIA intervened - like they can everywhere - and their agent van Anraat was set free, resuming his deadly work for them in Iraq, where he remained until 2003.

Of course all of this was not mentioned in the court's verdict, but it's documented that van Anraat during that time fed information to the Dutch intelligence agency, which since World War II closely cooperates with the CIA and the infamous Israeli secret service Mossad, which has a permanent base at Schiphol, the main airport, close to Amsterdam. - [  http://tinyurl.com/pftda]

After the illegal US invasion of Iraq in March 2003 and when the umpteenth criminal US/Israeli war started, van Anraat thought he would be safe in Holland, where he was hidden by the Dutch secret service AIVD in one of their 'safe houses'. Because the US propaganda spinners wanted it, the Dutch 'Ali Chemicali' had to be sacrificed and was duly arrested by his 'handlers' in December 2004. It's one way of silencing him, where after he can get a 'natural death' - like Milosevic and many others in detention. - [ http://tinyurl.com/pan8q]
IN REALITY THE US HELPED TO GAS THE PEOPLE IN HALABJA.

The worst chutzpah again came from the US/Israeli side which 'runs' the United Nations: ''The UN suspects he made 36 separate shipments of chemicals via the Belgian port of Antwerp through Aqaba in Jordan to Iraq'', and of course the dutch prosecution - without ever checking - parroted the US spin. The compliant prosecutor forgot to mention - like the Dutch propaganda press - that Belgium, The Netherlands and Jordan are full grown PNAC colonies, already enslaved and bled for ages. And like with the ripped out proof of US complicity and guilt in the Halabja gassing: the rest was silence, or silenced...

To give just one more example: "In 1984, the State Department arranged for the sale of 45 Bell 214ST helicopters to Iraq. Four years later The Los Angeles Times reported that "American-built helicopters'' were used to gas Kurdish civilians. In March 1988 up to 6,800 Kurds were gassed to death in Halabja by Hussein's troops. In response, the U.S. State Department attempted according to a recent report in The International Herald Tribune, to place blame for the gassing also on the Iranians despite no evidence of Iranian involvement. When the UN Security Council passed a resolution to censure the Halabja attack it called on "both sides to refrain from the future use of chemical weapons."

If you read the last sentence again, you smell how it all stinks. Confirming who the real war criminals are.

LET'S NEVER LISTEN TO THEIR WORDS, WHICH ARE LIES:

LET'S WATCH THEIR DEEDS!
