Democratisch congreslid eist antwoorden over de rol van de VS bij de massamoorden in Jemen, zoals de aanval op een schoolbus

De
barbaarse terreuraanslag van de Saoedische coalitie op een schoolbus
en daarmee op de markt waar deze bus werd getroffen (40 kinderen dood
en een groot aantal volwassenen….) 
zijn
niet snel vergeten, althans niet in de VS, waar de democratische
politicus, lid van het congres voor Californië, Ted Lieu, antwoorden
van de regering verlangt over de eventuele aansprakelijkheid van de VS, voor wat zeer ernstige oorlogsmisdaden zijn…..

Meervoud:
‘oorlogsmisdaden’, daar Lieu ook goed pissig is over de andere door
de VS (en Groot-Brittannië) gesteunde oorlogsmisdaden die in Jemen werden en worden gepleegd, zoals het bombarderen van
ziekenhuizen, scholen, hele huizenblokken, water- en
energievoorzieningen, plus de hele infrastructuur, dat nog naast
huwelijksceremonies en begrafenissen…….. Stuk voor stuk zeer ernstige
oorlogsmisdaden, zeker gezien het feit dat e.e.a is uitgedraaid op
een genocide, gericht tegen de sjiitische bevolking van Jemen…….

Jammer
dat Lieu het woord ‘genocide’ niet gebruikt, want daar gaat het wel
degelijk om! Neem alleen al het feit dat als gevolg van de bombardementen door de Saoedische terreurcoalitie er een cholera uitbraak plaatsvond in Jemen, een uitbraak die nog steeds maandelijks honderden slachtoffers eist…. Zelfs een speciaal voor
cholera patiënten uitgerust ziekenhuis van Artsen zonder Grenzen
(MSF) werd vlak voor opening platgebombardeerd door deze
psychopatencoalitie…… 

Bombardementen die door de VS worden gecoördineerd en waar de VS de straaljagers en bommenwerpers in de lucht voorziet van brandstof, zodat de Saoedische terreurcoalitie (inclusief de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten of VAE*) zo efficiënt mogelijk haar moorddadige werk kan verrichten in Jemen….. Overigens is er ook sprake van een difterie
uitbraak in Jemen en lijdt een groot deel van de bevolking
honger……..

Ook voor
dat laatste is de VS één van de hoofdverantwoordelijken, daar
de VS actief op zee meehelpt aan een blokkade van de door de Houthi’s
(sjiitische rebellen) beheerste gebieden, zodat humanitaire
hulpgoederen maar mondjesmaat het land binnenkomen en er derhalve een
groot tekort is aan voedsel, water, medicijnen, ziekenhuisapparatuur
en brandstof (o.a voor ziekenhuis generatoren)…….

Zoals
Lieu ook beschrijft in het hieronder opgenomen artikel van Common Dreams, levert de VS munitie en wapentuig, zoals rollend, varend en
vliegend oorlogstuig aan Saoedi-Arabië….. Dit werd nog eens extra duidelijk met de vondst van een door de VS geproduceerde geleide bom die  door de Saoedische slachters op de schoolbus werd gebruikt…….

Gelukkig
zijn er nog een paar mensen wakker terwijl zich een genocide voor ons
oog voltrekt…….

Het
is ronduit een schande dat de Kamer niet van reces is teruggeroepen
vanwege deze laatste slachting in Jemen, als iets dergelijks door ‘de Syrische president Assad’ was gedaan, had men bij wijze van spreken al staan
schreeuwen in de Tweede Kamer microfoons……… 

Moet je
nagaan dat er tegelijk voor alle verontwaardiging en ronduit hysterie over zogenaamde oorlogsmisdaden ‘begaan door Assad’, niet één flinter aan
bewijs ligt, sterker nog: de gifgasaanvallen die tot nu toe werden
uitgevoerd in Syrië werden allen begaan door IS en andere door het
westen liefkozend genoemde gematigde rebellen…. Waar men NB van
weet dat ze beschikken over chemische wapens, terwijl die van Syrië
al lang door het westen gecontroleerd zijn vernietigd……

Schande!!

Over
schande gesproken: waar zijn alle ‘verlichte linkse intellectuelen’
met hun protest tegen de Saoedische en VS terreur in Jemen????

War
Crimes’: Lawmakers Demand Answers About US Role in Yemen Massacre

August
15, 2018 at 12:16 am

Written
by 
Jake
Johnson

(CD— In
the wake of the U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition’s 
horrific
bombing of a school bus
 last
week that killed 40 Yemeni children and amid 
reports
on Tuesday of dozens more civilian deaths after a new wave of Saudi
bombings
,
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) has sent a 
detailed
letter
 (pdf)
to the Department of Defense Inspector General demanding an
investigation into whether Trump administration officials violated
U.S. or international law by assisting the Saudis in their assault on
Yemen.

The
Saudi-led coalition, which receives essential military support and
intelligence from the U.S., “has repeatedly hit civilian
targets—including schools, hospitals, funerals, and
weddings—nowhere near military targets,” Lieu writes, pointing to
an analysis by the 
Yemen
Data Project
 (YDP) showing
that a third of Saudi bombings in Yemen have hit civilian targets. “I
previously served on active duty as a JAG [Judge Advocate General]
and a number of the coalition’s airstrikes look like war crimes.”

If
the coalition’s targeting of farms, food storage sites, and water
sites was deliberate, these airstrikes would constitute a violation
of Article 14 of Additional Protocol II and customary international
law in non-international armed conflict,” Lieu adds. “I am deeply
concerned that continued U.S. refueling, operational support
functions, and weapons transfers could qualify as aiding and abetting
these potential war crimes.”

The
California congressman goes on to note that the U.S.-backed Saudi
attacks on civilian targets cannot be attributed to mere faulty
intelligence or incompetence.

The
coalition, which has air superiority, has in a number of cases very
precisely struck civilian targets,” Lieu notes. “For example,
coalition jets precisely 
struck
a funeral
attended
by a large number of people and then came around and struck the same
civilian target again. It is indisputable that the DoD-supported
coalition has killed large numbers of children, women, and men who
are civilians.”

In
letter (pdf)
of her own on Tuesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Gen.
Joseph Votel—the top commander of U.S. forces in the Middle
East—to 
explain the
U.S. military’s role in the Saudi-led coalition’s bombings of
Yemeni civilians.

According
to public reports and non-governmental organizations operating on the
ground in Yemen, coalition airstrikes, including some that are likely
to have been supported by U.S. refueling and supplied with U.S.
munitions, have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Yemeni
civilians since the beginning of the military campaign in 2015,
including most recently a school bus carrying dozens of children,”
Warren noted.

Lieu
and Warren’s letters come as Yemen-based journalists reported that
yet another Saudi-led bombing campaign in the port city of Hodeidah
on Tuesday killed more than 30 people, including women and children.

Since
the U.S.-backed Saudi coalition’s bombing of a school bus last
week, journalists and human rights advocates have denounced the
attack as a clear war crime and demanded to know precisely what role
the U.S. played in the massacre.

in a

morning, images posted to social media suggest that the bomb used in
the attack was a Mark-82, which is manufactured by the massive
American defense contractor Raytheon.

While
U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis has dispatched an American
general to assist the Saudis with its “investigation” into the
school bus bombing, Shireen Al-Adeimi—a human rights activist and
professor at Michigan State University—told 
Democracy
Now! 
that
it is “preposterous to think” that the Saudis can properly
investigate their own crimes, particularly given that one Saudi
official has already described the school bus as a “
legitimate
target
.”

“For the Saudi-led coalition to bomb a bus full of children is a war crime”

-Yemeni scholar and activist @shireen818 on last week’s US-backed Saudi-UAE coalition strike on schoolchildren in https://buff.ly/2MKwxaA 

Every
single day, there are airstrikes and casualties and civilians who
have been killed by Saudi-led airstrikes. They have essentially
absolved themselves of all wrongdoing every time they have
investigated themselves,” Al-Adeimi concluded. “What Yemenis need
is really an independent investigation, which has been put forward in
the U.N. twice already and has been rejected by the Saudi-led
coalition and the U.S. unfortunately has provided cover for the
Saudi-led coalition at the U.N.”

Georganiseerde misdaad en overheid, wat is het verschil tussen die twee? Een uiterst hilarische lezing van Michael Parenti over de moord op JFK!

Brasscheck
TV kwam afgelopen zaterdag met een lezing van Michael Parenti, waarin de
vraag wordt beantwoord of er een verschil bestaat tussen
georganiseerde misdaad en de politiek in de meeste landen.

Het zal
je waarschijnlijk niet verbazen dat er amper of geen verschil is.

De staat is er vooral om de belangen van de welgestelden te beschermen en verdeeldheid te zaaien als minderheden of groepen die zich verzetten tegen onrecht of afbraak van het milieu, zich organiseren….. (verdeel en heers…) Waarnaast de gekleurde bevolking van de VS vanaf eind 60er jaren willens en wetens door de overheid werd volgepropt met drugs, dezelfde overheid die sinds begin 70er jaren zogenaamd een oorlog tegen drugs voert…………….

Dezelfde VS die er niet mee zit vooraanstaande leiders van minderheden te vermoorden, of zelfs een president te vermoorden, waar Parenti vooral spreekt over de moord op J.F. Kennedy. Parenti noemde de film JFK van Oliver Stone, de enige film die 6 maanden voordat deze werd uitgebracht al kritiek kreeg, o.a. van de reguliere (massa-) media in de VS, die de staat steunt waar het maar kan…… Diezelfde staat was van meet af bang aan voor deze film (gezien de kritiek die Stone keer op keer gaf op het ‘land’ dat zich de United States of America durft te noemen……. 

Of neem de houding van die massamedia (overigens ook in de rest van wat men het westen noemt), voorafgaand en tijdens de illegale oorlogen tegen Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Syrië (wat betreft de laatste: de reden voor de VS een opstand te organiseren in Syrië en het land vol te proppen met terroristen en wapens, was Assad, die moest hoe dan ook weg…… De VS was al in 2006 bezig met de voorbereidingen daartoe……. Deze zaken moesten tijdens de lezing van Parenti nog plaatsvinden, de lezing dateert uit 1993.

Voorts gaat Parenti nog in op het begrip ‘Deep State’.

Beluister deze geweldige en uiterst hilarische lezing waar Perenti, die zoals gezegd, vooral spreekt over de moord op J.F. Kennedy en de grote en belachelijke leugens die daar over werden verteld. Luister en oordeel zelf, althans als je nog niet overtuigd was
van het feit dat de overheid achter de moord op JFK zat. Dit keer geen video, maar audio van Brasscheck:

Donna
Brazile Bombshell: ‘Proof’ Hillary ‘Rigged’ Primary Against
Bernie

Afbeeldingsresultaat voor Donna Brazile Bombshell: ‘Proof’ Hillary ‘Rigged’ Primary Against Bernie

November
2, 2017 at 10:18 am

Written
by 
Jake
Johnson

(COMMONDREAMS) — In
an explosive and “
deeply
disturbing

piece
for 
Politico Magazine on
Thursday, former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee
(DNC) Donna Brazile drew upon her brief experience at the
organization’s helm to reveal the extent to which the 2016
nomination process was “rigged” in favor of former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton.

In
her account, Brazile details the deep “internal corruption” of
the DNC, the role the ostensibly neutral governing body played as a
“fundraising clearing house” for the Clinton team, and how those
dynamics unfairly handicapped primary challenger Bernie Sanders.

Many
of the DNC’s most deeply embedded issues, Brazile notes, spring
both from former chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s poor management
and former President Barack Obama’s neglect, which left the
committee deeply in debt.

In
August 2015, the Clinton campaign—along with the joint fundraising
vehicle with the DNC, the Hillary Victory Fund—came to an agreement
with the committee to begin to pay off this debt, which had soared to
$24 million. In exchange, the DNC’s finances were placed “fully
under the control” of the Clinton team, “which seemed to confirm
the suspicions of the Bernie camp,” Brazile writes.

When
the party chooses the nominee, the custom is that the candidate’s
team starts to exercise more control over the party,” Brazile
observed. “This victory fund agreement, however, had been
signed…just four months after Hillary announced her candidacy and
nearly a year before she officially had the nomination.”

Brazile
goes on to describe the terms of the agreement, which she describes
as “unethical”:

The
agreement…specified that in exchange for raising money and
investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances,
strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of
refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it
would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was
required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing,
budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.

Brazile
concludes the piece, which is an adapted excerpt from her forthcoming
book, by detailing a conversation she had with Sen. Bernie Sanders
(I-Vt.) shortly after she found the “cancer” at the heart of the
DNC—this so-called “Joint Fundraising Agreement.”

How
much control Brooklyn had and for how long was still something I had
been trying to uncover for the last few weeks. By September 7, the
day I called Bernie, I had found my proof and it broke my heart,”
Brazile writes. “I explained that the cancer was that she had
exerted this control of the party long before she became its
nominee….Bernie took this stoically. He did not yell or express
outrage. Instead he asked me what I thought Hillary’s chances
were.”

Unsurprisingly,
Brazile’s account immediately caught fire on social media,
provoking a mixture of outrage and vindication—particularly given
that it comes from a “
stalwart
establishment insider who 
admitted
to
 passing
debate topics to the Clinton team during her time as
CNN contributor.

over Keith Ellison, a move that was

seen

Democrats
in Denial After Donna Brazile Says Primary Was Rigged for Hillary

November
3, 2017 at 1:42 pm

Written
by 
Kevin
Gosztola

(SHADOWPROOFEvidence
that the Democratic National Committee rigged the 2016 presidential
primary in favor of Hillary Clinton has been known for well over a
year. But the leadership of the Democratic Party has refused to
address evidence, preferring to “move forward” by coercing
Democrats who supported Bernie Sanders into uniting with the very
elements of the party responsible for losing to President Donald
Trump.

Now,
former interim DNC chair Donna Brazile has given credence to claims
that the DNC rigged the primary, which is what members of the Sanders
campaign and supporters have repeatedly asserted—even though most
DNC officials or Clinton supporters treat such claims as the product
of sexism or downright foolishness.

Brazile found
a copy
 of
the joint fundraising agreement between the DNC, Hillary Victory
Fund, and Hillary For America. It was signed by former CEO of the DNC
Amy Dacey and Robby Mook, who was Clinton’s campaign manager. The
Clinton campaign’s legal counsel, Marc Elias, was copied.

It
specified that Clinton would “control the party’s finances,
strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of
refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it
would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was
required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing,
budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.” Now, former interim
DNC chair Donna Brazile has given credence to claims that the DNC
rigged the primary, which is what members of the Sanders campaign and
supporters have repeatedly asserted—even though most DNC officials
or Clinton supporters treat such claims as the product of sexism or
downright foolishness.

The
agreement was inked in August 2015, which was months before the first
votes were ever cast in the primary.

As
Brazile put it, “The funding arrangement with HFA and the victory
fund agreement was not illegal, but it sure looked unethical. If the
fight had been fair, one campaign would not have control of the party
before the voters had decided which one they wanted to lead. This was
not a criminal act, but as I saw it, it compromised the party’s
integrity.”

A
story from Politico in May 2016 
revealed how
the Clinton campaign setup a fundraising operation through state
party apparatuses that was essentially money laundering. States only
kept less than a half percent of $82 million raised. This was a
method to circumvent campaign finance limits. It also put Sanders at
a disadvantage, as the state parties weren’t fairly making these
funds available to his campaign.

DNC
chair Tom Perez appeared on CNBC and was asked about what Brazile
wrote. “Well, hey, we’re moving forward. We’re building, you
know, I’ve been asked that question a number of times since I
started.”

Perez
suggested he would ensure plans for the nomination process in 2020
were fair and transparent. The primary debate schedule would be set
in advance before any officially declared candidates are known. But
what if DNC officials already have a candidate for 2020 in mind, like
they did with Clinton?

In
October, as 
widely
reported
,
Perez “stripped a number of longtime party officials of their
‘at-large’ delegate status or leadership positions, while
appointing a slate of 75 new members that include[d] Clinton campaign
veterans, lobbyists, and neophytes.” Many of those demoted were
progressives who backed Sanders or Minnesota Representative Keith
Ellison when he ran against Perez for DNC chair.

Some
of the people tied to corporate interests, who were granted
superdelegate votes, included Joanne Dowdell, who was a registered
lobbyist for News Corp (which owns Fox News) and Manuel Ortiz, a
lobbyist for CITGO Petroleum Corporation and Citigroup. And ten
other 
newly
appointed
 superdelegates
had previously registered as federal lobbyists.

Indiana
Democratic Representative Andre Carson also was on CNN and asked what
he thought of Brazile’s allegations. Initially, Carson refused to
address them and said he knew Brazile and would probably read her
forthcoming book. Wolf Blitzer pressed him, and Carson deflected. He
maintained he had no knowledge of any fundraising deal between the
Clinton campaign and DNC.

If
what Donna Brazile is saying in this new book is true, I assume you’d
be pretty upset that there was this formal arrangement to use the
DNC, the assets of DNC, which are considerable, to help this one
presidential candidate and in the process hurt others who may want to
challenge her for the nomination,” Blitzer added.

It
did not visibly bother Carson at all. Addressing Clinton and Sanders
supporters, Carson answered, “Going forward, we need to come
together. Though we may have our differences and different approaches
in terms of methodology. We have to come together and use our numbers
to make sure we don’t re-elect Donald Trump or see another Donald
Trump rise.”

This
strategy for unity, which involves forcing conformity among Sanders
supporters, 
failed at
the Democratic National Convention, and it failed to ensure Clinton
had the turnout among working class people of color and young people
that was necessary to defeat Trump, especially in swing states. It
has, however, helped officials obstruct accountability, transparency,
or any transformation away from the very centrist agenda that has
ensured the party remains weak.

One
of the few Democrats to recognize reality was Democratic Senator
Elizabeth Warren. She 
appeared on
CNN and emphatically answered, “Yes,” when asked if she thought
the DNC rigged the primary. She said the Democratic Party needed to
be “held accountable.”

Warren
was hounded throughout the 2016 Democratic primary by Sanders
supporters for remaining silent about who she supported. Her silence
was regarded as a favor to the Clinton campaign that was intended to
help the campaign ensure the scales did not tip against them in key
New England states.

What
Warren said flustered several Democrats, including Joy Ann Reid, a
Democrat and MSNBC host with quite the following on Twitter.

Reid
contended, “The question is: what does the DNC actually do, and can
it, even if it wanted to, rig 50+ primaries for any given candidate?”
She added, “Even if one objects to the [joint fundraising
agreement], as Donna did, it didn’t hurt Sanders financially. By
April, he’d raised as much as [Clinton].” She insisted Clinton
won the nomination because she received more votes than Sanders.

However,
what those in denial refuse to confront is that Clinton may have
received more votes because citizens believed it was impossible for
Sanders to win, since the news media kept reporting Clinton had so
many more superdelegates than him. Plus, whether Sanders was able to
overcome the impact of an unethical fundraising agreement does not
change the reality that it made the primary unfair.

Hillary
Rosen, a prominent Democratic Party strategist who regularly appears
on CNN, insisted Democrats could not reckon with Brazile’s
allegations when attention must be paid to the GOP’s tax proposals.
She also misleadingly argued Brazile could not find any evidence that
the system was rigged against Sanders, which is not what Brazile
wrote. Brazile said she could not find any evidence to support
widespread claims until she came across the joint fundraising
agreement.

The
voters chose Hillary Clinton, not Bernie Sanders, and it had nothing
to do with any staff person at the DNC,” Rosen asserted.

In
May 2016, Rosen said, “Bernie Sanders is losing this race, and
instead of taking it like a man, he’s working the ref. He’s
encouraging his people to think that the system is rigged. The system
he signed up for as an independent to run in a Democratic primary.
This constant sort of whining and complaining about the process is
just really the most harmful thing, in some ways, he could do because
he’s encouraging his supporters to think that the process actually
is cheating them, and they’re not.” So, Rosen has an interest in
maintaining her denial of reality.

The
reality is hundreds of superdelegates pledged their allegiance to
Clinton before votes were cast in Iowa, a limited number of debates

Clinton opponents, the DNC and Clinton campaign falsely accused the
Sanders campaign of “stealing” voter file data, and Democratic
women supporting Sanders faced 
forms
of retaliation
 for
not supporting Clinton.
