"The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human
lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of
shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking
in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to
make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too
intelligent. Even when weapons of war are not actually destroyed,
their manufacture is still a convenient way of expending labour
power without producing anything that can be consumed".
George Orwell,
1984
The Bush/Cheney Butcher’s
Bill: Officially, 43 US
Military Deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan from 1 through 14 November,
2005 – Official Total of 2,183 US
dead to date (and rising)
by
Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter brianharring@yahoo.com
Note:
There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense
is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the
dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS
that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported
officially. The actual death toll is in excess of 10,000.
(See the official records at the end of this piece.) Given the
officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously
wounded (and a published total of 25,000 wounded overall,),
this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current
2,000+ now being officially published. When our research is
complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along with the
sources In addition to the evident falsification of the death rolls,
at least 5,500 American military personnel have deserted,
most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada and other European
countries, none of whom are inclined to cooperate with vengeful
American authorities. (See TBR News of 18 February for full coverage
on the mass desertions) This means that of the 158,000 U.S.
military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 deserted, were killed or
seriously wounded. The DoD lists currently being very quietly
circulated indicate over10,000 dead, over 25,000 seriously
wounded and a large number of suicides, forced hospitalization
for ongoing drug usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and
fellow soldiers, rapes, courts martial and so on –
The government gets away with these huge lies because they
claim, falsely, that only soldiers actually killed on the ground in
Iraq are reported. The dying and critically wounded are listed as en
route to military hospitals outside of the country and not
reported on the daily postings. Anyone who dies just as the
transport takes off from the Baghdad airport is not listed and
neither are those who die in the US military hospitals. Their
families are certainly notified that their son, husband, brother or
lover was dead and the bodies, or what is left of them
(refrigeration is very bad in Iraq what with constant power outages)
are shipped home, to Dover AFB. This, we note, was the overall
policy until very recently. Since it became well known that many had
died at Landstuhl, in Germany, the DoD began to list a very few
soldiers who had died at other non-theater locations. These numbers
are only for show and are pathetically small in relationship to the
actual figures (which we are now publishing.) You ought to realize
that President Bush personally ordered that no pictures be taken of
the coffined and flag-draped dead under any circumstances. He claims
that this is to comfort the bereaved relatives but is designed to
keep the huge number of arriving bodies secret. Any civilian, or
military personnel, taking pictures will be jailed at once and
prosecuted. Bush has never attended any kind of a memorial service
for his dead soldiers and never will. He is terrified some parent
might curse him in front of the press or, worse, attack him. As Bush
is a coward and in denial, this is not a surprise.
Haven’t
we had enough of this? (According
to our email, 95% of our viewers’ responses to Mr. Harring’s
explosive investigations have commented that they have certainly had
enough. We have also been flooded with additions to the casualty
lists that have to be carefully checked before a future posting.
