Some images from the massacre of women and children in and around the Alkozai and Najeeban areas of Kandahar. A total of 16 died on Sunday and according to the BBC "At one house in Najeeban, 11 people were found shot dead, and some of their bodies set alight. At least three of the child victims are reported to have been killed by a single shot to the head.".

A number of the dead were burned by fire obviously in an attempt to hide the crime.

The US has claimed that a lone soldier was responsible for the atrocity but local eyewitnesses at the scene claim a number of soldiers were present and this goes some way to explain how the bodies, after being shot, were then burned. The United States has been widely accused of attempting to manage the reaction to the atrocity by isolating the conduct of the soldier into a mental health issue in order to protect the integrity of the wider ISAF mission.

At present, the United States forces in Kandahar are bracing for a significant reaction to the massacre and have reeled in troops numbers and confined many to their bases. Colaition partners have also cancelled many walking deployments and security patrols in fear of the consequences that are developing.

There is also a developing breakdown of relations between tribal elders and occupation forces throughout Southern Afghanistan with many meetings scheduled to take place in order to manage the recent protests being cancelled or with senior elders simply not turning up as arranged.

It does now look likely that the already strained and difficult relations US forces have had with the local populace have now broken down completely.

"Any evidence these pictures relate to this incident ?"

The first image I publish here was taken by an Associated Press photographer at Kandahar on Sunday 11th March 2012. The woman sitting in the back of the truck is Anar Gul and it is her grandson laying dead in the back of the vehicle. She has stated that the boy was killed by foreign troops who came to her village in the early hours during the dark. As you can see, the boys leg has been incinerated in fire set by US forces.

An AP photographer has stated that they witnessed 16 bodies a number of whom had been burned by fire and that is corroberated by photographic evidence. The Associated Press news agency is under very great pressure from the US military in Afghanistan and the US State Department not to release the worst of the images.

There's loadsa stuff on t-inernet of his already.

Unlikely that it would be a single American out at night on his own unless he was suicidal or wanted to be kidnapped. Almost certainly a group, which means where the fuck are the others?

Well, according to your super soaraway Sun, the majority of us Brits want out now and couldn't give a toss about staying there anymore.

"Brits want out of ‘unwinnable’ war, Shock Afghanistan poll"

Apparently, its come as a complete shock that no-one gives a shit!

"Unlikely that it would be a single American out at night on his own unless he was suicidal or wanted to be kidnapped. Almost certainly a group, which means where the fuck are the others?"

I'm sure I read earlier today that he was a engaged with the hearts and minds operation to convince Afghani's that they actually liked having the yanks there. That means he would've been semi-intelligence so would have had access to special forces or worked alongside them.

If he went with those chappies and they were involved then the yanks will keep that a secret. He'll be on his own.

AFAIK

The so called 'Zionist Conspiracy' is part of what Michael Parenti calls the Conspiracy of Class Power, Zionism is an Ideology invented as a possible tool to bring about certain geo-strategic outcomes, Invented around the same time as the promise of global power that the nacent technology of the Internal Combustion Engine gave 'Empire Builders (war mongering investors to you and me)' was coming into being. Massive ammounts of oil were roumoured to exist in Mesopotamia and known to exist in Baku, The British sent 'archaeologists' with seismic packs to 'explore' the 'ancient sites'. So -that meant Trucks Battleships U-Boats,eventually planes and tanks all tested in the first Blitzkreig of WW1.

An invented Ideology much like the Jihadi ideology was invented in America to drive the Soviets out of strategically (to Caspian Basin oil) important Afghanistan. What I'm trying to say is that as Jihad was invented for a geo-strategic purpose so was Zionism

The aims for this invented ideology are to divide Arab against Arab, to keep the ME in a constant state of division war and 'Terror', so that two pillars of power for the ruling class, weapons and oil make nice profits for Investors.

The evidence that 'Zionists control the World' isn't evidence that 'Zionists Control the World',

It's evidence that half through WW1 a group of financiers dropped support for the German plan to dominate Eurasia - and in return for the Balfour Declaration' moved their investment to the 'Allied' plan for the restructuring of Power in the ME ( the removal from the Oil lands of the Ottoman Turks), The removal of two other hereditary ruling class dynastys - Hapsberg/ Romanov - in a restructuring of European power and the rapid industrialisation of what had by then become the Soviet Union 'created' as a foil to the threat of future German domination of Eurasia.

So people that say things like Zionists Control things are wrong. Ruling class Zionists don't give a stuff about whats happening to people of any faith or culture in Palestine. They only care about the geo-strategic effect of turbulence in the ME that the existence of Israel creates, I think as soon as the ME no longer has oil the support by ruling class 'Zionists' for Israel will die. Israel will no longer serve a purpose for the ruling class, then fuck knows what happens, well I suppose a war that's the kind of thing that the ruling class like to do when they can't come up with anything more profitable, there isn't much that is more profitable than war, make something and blow it up make another blow that up too, production can bearly keep up with destruction, kerching kerching kerching.

I agree that the word Zionist is often a shield for the white race revenge brigade fascists as typing "Zionists Control Everything" into a search engine of your choice will show - Storm Front, Rense etc etc,

There is a conection too with 9-11 here, I have personal experience of someone who when seeing that 9-11 was a False Flag and hearing it first from one holocaust sceptic Eric Huffschmidt. Huffschmidt managed to 'brain wash' this person to believe that 'ZIONISTS Control Everything' Concerned for the mental wellbeing of my friend I had to wade through the 'evidence' that everything was controlled by Zionists. What had happened was that my mate experienced an 'Everything you know is wrong moment", and Huffschmidt was on hand to fill up what had become an empty vessel.

So I went onto these White Supremacist web sites, and Huffschmidts own and there they provided documentary evidence in the form of a speech given by some soap manufacturer who had invested in the German plan to remodel the world, and obviously wasn't with the 'smart money' that left the German project half way through WW1. And he was pissed off he must have lost a lot, but he's presented as "Zionist Insider" who was at the meeting that discussed the Balfour decoration. Well he was no Zionist Insider if he didn't know the 'Zionists' were pulling out, and he was in the crowd that heard the declaration read not 'in the meeting' as you might expect an insider to be. So hardly an insider more of a dumb investor that was duped out of his soap cash by a bunch war profiteering 'investors' out to reshape the world and make profit through war and energy.

I couldn't shake my mates conviction because rather than thinking that what I tought I'd done which was a critical appraisal of 'evidence' that Zionists control everything and had found it wanting, I was told I was just spouting Zionist misinformation because Zionist Control everthying the media etc and eveything except Huffschmidts 'truth' can't be believed.

My mate got into this state after 7/7 he went looking for answers on the internet coz his kids were too scared to travel in London and unfortunately found Huffschidt first. So the 'truth' about 9-11 is dangerous if you hear about it from a fascist who then goes on to recruit you as a footsoldier for anti 'Zionists'.

So what's this all mean well basically because Zionism is an invented ideology to suit a certain ruling class geostrategic purpose the Zionists are controlled by the ruling class and not the other way round. The ruling class may support Zionism but it's not because they are Zionists its because it serves their purpose.
