I have just witnessed a murder on my TV screen

We have all let this occur, but there is hope and it will manifest it's self soon. We will see the results of our actions and what our way of life will bring.

As I sit here and write this I have tears streaming down my face, I am shaking and my heart is pounding. I have just witnessed a murder on my TV screen.



While watching Lateline on Australian ABC television there was a report from Fallujah. In the story they showed a marine saying, “I’ve just injured one, he’s between the two buildings”. At that moment another marine walks over to the gap between the two houses, he then climbs on a forty four gallon drum aims his gun at the injured Iraqi and fires one shot.



The marine then climbs back down saying, “He’s done”.

Just imagine what they are not showing us! Iraqi deaths are not even been reported by any of the news channels.

Execution apparently endorsed by uk journalist

The execution seems to have been endorsed by the veteran British journalist, David Chater
on Sky News

During the action, he says 'the Americans can take no chances the insurgent may have a twenty pound bomb strapped to him'.Clearly being embedded with the marines has made him go native.

very hard to find) Sky News number here...

0207 705 3000

shocked!

This cold blooded murder was transmitted matter of factly on every major UK news program yesterday.

It surely must be a watershed for the UK and global public who witnessed this atrocity. As moral human beings we simply cannot stand by and let this happen.

I haven't yet read any newspapers today, but, if it is not reported for what it quite plainly is and I repeat, murder, or even at all then I'm sorry but I will have lost whatever little respect I had for journalism and the media in general in the UK.

We owe it to ourselves not to let this incident disappear without a trace.

.. like other high profile 'journalists' (eg Mark Urban, featured heavily on the bbc's newsnight) actually work for chatham house (Royal Institute for International Afairs - A NWO thinktank).

So, less a journalist than someone seeking an appropriate 'response' to befall them!

Like those Fallujans trapped by the fascist blizkrieg, who reported that they are speechless at the destruction & violence poured upon them - I am speechless but for one word:

REVENGE.

Soliders, politicians, 'journalists' - targets.

Revenge.

Revenge.

Revenge.

Revenge.

Revenge.
