McCain terminaal ziek: vier als het zover is zijn dood luidruchtig, niets om je voor te schamen

John
McCains heeft een tumor in z’n smerige hersenen, lullig voor hem en zijn familie, maar zijn dood zal voor een groot deel van de wereld een enorme opluchting
zijn…..

Ofwel: John
McCain zal waarschijnlijk niet lang te leven
hebben. Gegarandeerd dat deze psychopathische moordenaar zal worden
opgehemeld na zijn overlijden, sterker nog daar is men nu al mee bezig zoals Caitlin Johnstone in het hieronder opgenomen artikel beschrijft…..

Dit ophemelen van McCain is van belang voor de vele andere politici die in feite de dood van vele duizenden op hun geweten hebben, ze hebben er nut bij, immers zo kunnen ze zelf de huidige status quo bewaren, waarbij ze instemmen of zelfs aandringen op militair ingrijpen van de VS, voorts beschermt het deze politici tegen kritiek en zelfs vervolging…..*. De reguliere media in de VS (en de rest van het westen) zorgen ervoor dat de illegale oorlogen van de VS en haar (o.a. NAVO) coalitiegenoten op een Orwelliaanse manier worden ‘gerechtvaardigd’ en verheerlijkt als onontkoombaar noodzakelijk…… 

Het militair-industrieel complex (waar ik ook de oliemaffia toereken) heeft er alle belang bij dat er continu oorlogen worden gevoerd en dat de spanningen hoog blijven oplopen…… 

Caitlin
Johnstone, de schrijver van het hieronder opgenomen artikel (eerder gepubliceerd op Steemit), betoogt
volkomen terecht dat er niets te treuren valt na het overlijden van
McCain, sterker nog zij stelt dat de dood van McCain zonder enige
schaamte, luidruchtig gevierd moet worden.

Why
You Should Celebrate Loudly and Unapologetically When John McCain
Dies

Arizona
Senator and murderous psychopath John McCain is 
rumored
to be at death’s door
,
and already the world is being admonished by high-profile empire
loyalists not to voice any criticism of his blood-saturated,
obnoxiously long career.

Anti-McCain
twitter seems to have reached new heights (or depths) of
repulsiveness,” 
tweeted Iraq-raping
PNAC founder Bill Kristol to thunderous applause
from 
#Resistance Twitter.
“In the hope that a few of the haters see this, let me say: I’m
proud to have voted for John McCain for president three times (2000 &
2008 primaries & 2008 general), and for Donald Trump…never.”

John
McCain reminds us that American greatness is made by those who
understand that character is the sum of one’s hardest choices; that
reality is not a TV show; that fame is mist but honor granite; that
heroes don’t need fixers on retainer,” the 
Washington
Post
‘s
David Von Drehle 
preemptively
eulogized
 in
a nauseating article titled “John McCain isn’t the ideal
messenger. He’s the ideal message.”

STFU,
Trumpites,” 
scolded the
somewhat less subtle Matt Lewis of the 
Daily
Beast
.
“John McCain is 50 times the person you’ll ever be.”

Other
commentators have had other ideas.

These
repressive decrees prohibiting criticisms of John McCain as he dies
are like those who insist gun control not be spoken of after mass
shootings,” 
tweeted journalist
Glenn Greenwald. “Discussions of his life are inherently political.
If you’re going heap praise on & sanctify him, you can’t also
silence critics.”

Insisting
on the right to convert every US political leader into a heroic &
noble saint upon death, while condemning critics as gauche &
classless, is propaganda,” Greenwald 
added.
“It’s easy to dismiss all the deaths McCain has caused because
they’re distant and invisible, but they still matter.”

I
would take it a few clicks further, personally. I say it is the duty
of everyone who opposes acts of mass military slaughter for power and
profit to cheer loudly and unapologetically when John McCain dies.

We
should all celebrate McCain’s death. Not in a spirit of vengeance
for the lives 
his
relentless warmongering
 has
helped end. Nor because his death may save innocent lives, though
that possibility is surely an added perk. No, we should celebrate the
end of McCain’s despicable life first and foremost to prevent such
bloodthirsty depravity from being normalized, or worse, immortalized
as heroism.

Many
people will recoil from such a notion in horror, like 
the
pearl-clutching ladies on 
The
View
 did
 when
discussing my article “
Please
Just Fucking Die Already

which I wrote about McCain shortly before his cancer diagnosis. These
people are cowards. They have compartmentalized themselves away from
the horrors that McCain has helped inflict upon this world because it
is more psychologically comfortable than acknowledging that such a
pervasively evil presence has been working so intimately with the
nexus of power in their country.

If
everyone could be forced 
Clockwork
Orange
-style
 to
look at all the death, destruction and suffering that John McCain has
helped inflict upon our species, they would feel nothing but relief
upon his departing from this world. It is only the aforementioned
power to dissociate and compartmentalize which enables people to spew
nonsense about McCain being a hero and a good man.

It
is this pocket of compartmentalization that we are being bullied into
by establishment loyalists who demand solemn reverence for this
unforgivable monster simply because his time here is almost up. They
are doing this because it benefits and protects them. The ability of
the servants of empire to proudly show their faces in public after
helping to ensure the deaths of countless thousands of human beings
is absolutely essential for the survival of the Orwellian oligarchy
which rules over us. If we could see these murderous beasts for what
they truly are, the illusion would be shattered and we’d never
consent to being ruled by a system which empowers them.

To
truly see John McCain for what he is and what he has done is to see
the face of the oppression machine that rank-and-file Americans have
been manipulated into supporting.

The
empire which spends medicine money on bombs overseas and insists on
an economic system that is propped up with the barrel of a gun
depends on keeping its most hands-on servants normalized and
celebrated.

Mainstream
Americans seeing McCain clearly will also be seeing themselves and
what they’ve been duped into consenting to. Rejecting this illusion
and pissing on McCain’s grave is a direct act of rebellion against
the oppressive, war profiteering oligarchs and their allied defense
and intelligence agencies.

The
reason the US-centralized war machine is able to get away with
unleashing unspeakable horror after unspeakable horror upon our world
is because that war machine has become normalized and celebrated. So
it is therefore our duty to call John McCain the wicked witch that he
is and celebrate like munchkins when he dies.

In
a healthy world, war-peddling neoconservatives like John McCain would
be treated with the same social stigma as child molesters and serial
killers. So let’s create that world.

Abnormalize
war. Abnormalize the campaigns of mass slaughter for power and profit
by the US-centralized war machine. Abnormalize the system which tries
to normalize John McCain.

Normalize
peace
.
Normalize an expectation that leaders will not advocate war at every
opportunity.

Normalize
an environment where someone seeking out opportunities to push for
war will be recoiled from in horror like the demonic freaks that they
are. Normalize a world with no John McCains.

Oppose
the calls of the social engineers for reverence and good behavior.
The war machine is not entitled to our politeness. McCain’s family
is not entitled to force the entire world to pretend that he wasn’t
an evil child-killing monster. We need to drag this abomination out
into the light where everyone can see it and call it what it is.

When
the time comes (hopefully sooner than later), join me in celebrating
John McCain’s death. Here’s to a world where such vile ghouls are
treated like what they are.

* VS politici worden zelfs onbeschaamd gesponsord door de wapenfabrikanten, waarmee deze politici functioneren als grootlobbyisten van het militair-industrieel complex, nader beschouwd is dit niets anders dan een heel smerige vorm van corruptie!!

PS: denk bij het voorgaande aan de verheerlijking in de media na hun dood van massamoordenaars als Thatcher, Reagan en andere enorme oorlogsmisdadigers….. Zeker de laatste 18 jaar lijkt het wat dit betreft wel of een besmettelijke ziekte de reguliere westerse (massa-) media heeft getroffen…….

Zie ook:

McCain oorlogsmisdadiger >> massaal ten onrechte geëerd na z’n dood

John McCaine: politieke helden zijn op den duur meestal teleurstellend

Begrafenis McCain: onbeschaamde verering van een massamoordenaar en oorlogshitser

Arabieren en Afghanen zijn bepaald niet bedroefd om de dood van McCain……

Groot-Brittannië helpt Saoedi-Arabië met uitvoeren genocide in Jemen……

Afgelopen zaterdag berichtte ik al over het feit dat het Pentagon het Congres heeft voorgelogen en dat speciale VS troepen meevechten in Jemen, niet tegen IS
zoals de VS telkens weer durfde te beweren, maar tegen de Houthi
rebellen, die NB IS en Al Qaida in eigen land met succes hebben
bestreden*.

Nu
blijkt ook dat Groot-Brittannië veel meer doet in Jemen, dan de
Britse overheid tot nu toe heeft toegegeven. Dit naast de enorme
leveringen van munitie en militaire hardware aan de reli-fascistrische dictatuur van Saoedi-Arabië, waar de man van May ook
nog eens een smerige rol speelt, hij werkt voor BAE Systems, een Britser ‘hardware wapenfabrikant’, die grote overheidscontracten krijgt en waar de Britse premier voor lobbyt….. Hierdoor stinkt hare kwaadaardigheid May zelf ronduit naar corruptie en vriendjespolitiek…….

Groot-Brittannië
heeft in totaal 7.000 mensen die de moorddadige Saoedische luchtmacht
ter zijde staan bij training van personeel en bij onderhoud plus
bevoorrading (ook met clusterbommen en andere munitie) van door GB geleverd vliegend oorlogstuig……

British military personell and employees of BAE systems pose with Saudi Air Force pilots in front of a British-made Typhoon.

Hier een artikel van Whitney Webb eerder geplaatst op MindPress News, waar o.a. wordt gesteld dat de oorlog tegen de sjiitische bevolking van Jemen intussen, volgens de VN, 5.500 mensen het leven heeft gekost en waarbij meer dan 9.000 mensen werden verwond…… Uiteraard kan dit cijfer niet kloppen, immers door de bombardementen is de infrastructuur van Jemen voor het overgrote deel vernield, wat onder meer tot een gigantische cholera uitbraak heeft geleid…… Dit nog naast een difterie uitbraak en de honger die al een paar jaar lang aanhoudt in Jemen, duidelijk een gevolg van de illegale oorlog die Saoedi-Arabië tegen het sjiitische volk van Jemen voert en waarbij de VS en Groot-Brittannië de helpende hand bieden……..

7,000
UK Personnel Helping Saudi Arabia Bomb Yemen, New Report Reveals

May
4, 2018 at 7:54 am

Written
by 
Whitney
Webb

(MPN) — While
criticism leveled against the U.K. government for its involvement in
Yemen has focused on the country’s 
arms
sales
 to
Saudi Arabia, newly published government documents reveal that the
U.K.’s complicity in the conflict runs much deeper.

The
documents were made public in a newly published paper titled “
UK
Personnel Supporting the Saudi Armed Forces – Risk, Knowledge and
Accountability
,”
which provides details as to the real “footprint” of the
estimated 7,000 employees of U.K. contractor companies, civil
servants, and temporarily deployed military personnel currently
aiding the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) and other Saudi security
forces in the waging of their brutal bombing campaign against Yemen.

According
to the UN, that bombing campaign has killed 5,500 civilians
and injured over 9,000 since it began in 2015. It has also 
targeted
civilian infrastructure
,
which has completely collapsed. Among civilian targets have been
hospitals and clinics, whose destruction coupled with the Saudi-led
coalition’s blockade of the country has allowed a “preventable”
cholera epidemic to reach well 
over
1 million cases
.

Written
by researchers Michael Lewis and Katherine Templar, the report –
among other notable findings — revealed that U.K. employees of 
U.K.
weapons giant BAE Systems
 have
continued to maintain the weapon systems of U.K. military aircraft
sold to the Saudis, including training and operational squadrons,
throughout the conflict. The forces thus supported include aircraft
directly involved in the bombing campaign targeting Yemen at Taif air
base and elsewhere.

The
basis for the direct and continued involvement of U.K. personnel in
aiding the RSAF comes from a secret government-to-government
agreement first signed in 1986. The agreement — which had never
been seen by the U.K. Parliament, or published until the release of
this report — includes secret support clauses for U.K.-manufactured
aircraft that commit U.K. personnel to the “arming and support”
of those aircraft during active armed conflict, regardless of whether
the conflict is “lawful” or directly involves the U.K.

The
documents also show that the commitment was made by the U.K.’s
Ministry of Defense against the advice of officials from the U.K.
Foreign Office.

The
report further details that U.K. employees stationed in Saudi Arabia
are essentially gagged from reporting wrongdoing or war crimes. It
notes that U.K. workers who have sought to whistleblow on alleged
crimes have been routinely harassed and, in some cases, denied the
related protections ostensibly available to them under U.K.
employment and whistleblowing laws.

related protections ostensibly available to them under U.K.
employment and whistleblowing laws.

Maintaining
Government Blinders

In
addition, Lewis and Templar’s research revealed that the U.K.’s
policy aimed at avoiding the possible misuse of U.K.-supplied arms
has been circumvented. That policy, which normally involves the
case-by-case scrutiny of transfers of licensable military equipment
to Saudi Arabia, has been avoided in some notable cases by the use of
a “whitelist” system that allows the U.K. government to remain
conveniently ignorant of what types or quantities of military
equipment U.K. companies sell to the Saudis.

It
also prevents the U.K. government from knowing where that military
equipment ultimately ends up — which is particularly troubling,
given that the Saudi government has been known 
to
funnel weapons
 to
terrorist groups 
on
several occasions
.

Another
related, and equally troubling, finding of the paper is that U.K.
citizens aiding the RSAF are still involved in the handling of
cluster munitions, which the Saudis 
continue
to use
 in
Yemen despite their use being banned by more than a hundred
countries. While BAE systems implemented a “pull-back” of its
employees from directly handling such munitions in 2008, reports from
technicians and aircraft armorers cited in the paper allege that this
“pull-back” was incomplete and that U.K. personnel are still
present – and participate – in their use.

Though
testimony proved this to be the case during 
the
2009-2010 Yemen conflict
,
the lack of public knowledge of the practice makes it likely that it
has continued throughout the current Saudi-led bombing campaign in
Yemen. The 
use
of cluster munitions
 by
the Saudis has caused great suffering in Yemen, as they spread
ordnance over a wide area and pose a long-term danger to civilians
because many of them fail to detonate upon impact. In some cases,
Yemeni children 
have
discovered
 unexploded
cluster bombs and taken them home, mistaking them for harmless
objects only to have them detonate soon after.

Lucrative
Arms Sales vs. Humanitarian Responsibilities: No Contest

Further
information provided in the report suggests that the U.K. government
is deliberately avoiding its responsibility to report on possible
violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). Though government
officials had argued before the U.K. High Court that the government’s
arms-export officials take IHL risk into consideration based on
information from Minister of Defense personnel, liaison officers and
BAE Systems employees, the report found that there is, in fact, no
Ministry of Defense guidance on possible IHL violations to U.K.
military officials or personnel involved in Saudi Arabia.

This,
combined with the “whitelist” system and BAE’s incomplete
“pull-back” of direct involvement in the use of deadly cluster
munitions, suggests that elements of the U.K. government have sought
to hide its involvement in the Saudi-led bombing campaign and its
associated war crimes in order to protect the U.K.’s lucrative arms
sales to the Saudi government.

The
U.K. government’s attempts to protect weapon sales to the Saudis
are unsurprising given the numerous ties that BAE Systems, which
holds a “
near-monopoly
position

in the U.K. defense industry, has to the U.K. political
establishment. Chief among these ties is BAE’s link to U.K. Prime
Minister Theresa May, whose husband and close political adviser,
Philip May, works for the Capital Group, 
BAE’s
largest shareholder
 and
thus the largest beneficiary of the company’s arms sales abroad.
