Afghanistan :All are unnecessary deaths At the hands of Imperialism

In the war in Afghanistan many , many ,innocent people  have died and  continue to die  wholesale at the hands of an invading  militaristic system where people may   profit from wars.

 A poster on Indymedia is justifiably enraged about this But, has commented on yet another death of an Australian soldier in Afghanistan in a way that criticized the individual soldier.

Some German Politicians Want U$ Nukes out of Europe.
The opposition in Germany wants nuclear weapons out of the country following areport which says that some of those weapons may not be properly safeguarded.

Apache attack helicopters have fired the thermobaric weapons against fighters in buildings and caves, to create a pressure wave which sucks the air out of victims, shreds their internal organs and crushes their bodies.The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has admitted to the use of the weapons, condemnedby human rights groups as “brutal”, on several occasions, including against a cave complex.

How to covertly train paramilitaries, censor the press, ban unions, employ terrorists, conduct warrantless searches, suspend habeas corpus, conceal breaches of the Geneva Convention and make the population love it JULIAN ASSANGE (investigative editor)

Australia's indigenous peoples were not the only ones to be subjected to
the scientific depredations of the United Kingdom and Australian
governments between 1956 and 1957. That particularly noxious venture
yielded seven atomic tests in the desert sands of Maralinga, South
Australia. The British record on the subject, along with Australian
complicity, is a fetid one. Officials have taken cover behind a wall of
inaccessible documents and unwavering secrecy.

"US military says 12 per cent of combat personnel in Iraq and 17 per cent servingin Afghanistan are taking prescription antidepressants or sleeping pills tobattle the mental strain of extended tours of duty and the horrors of war.

Thereby freeing many ,perhaps 1,200 POW and "suspects"  from a jail where torture of ‘suspects" would be considered legal by the imperialists who finance the prison and its puppet governments torturers as "aid".

This  mass jailbreak is a bit reminiscent of   the famous storming of the Bastille liberating the prisoners of the state during the French revolution ,many guards were also killed then and had their heads paraded  on pikes.(See note 1)

Australia Bolts Iraq Over Bush's Lies

Lucky for having lost not one soldier in combat of the 2,000 sent to
join the "coalition of the willing" attack on Iraq in March 2003.
Chastened because Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is now
pulling no punches in decrying the subservience of his predecessor,
John Howard, to Washington.

  Army's secret chemical Agent orange warfare tests uncovered.
 The  rate of cancer deaths in a north Queensland town where the army tested chemical weapons at the start of the Vietnam War are 10 times the state average.The "Herald Sun"Reports:

      Sir Richard Dearlove, Master, Pembroke College, Cambridge University and Chief, Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) (1999-2004), and author of the infamous Dearlove Memo 2 had his lecture at Chatham House in London 3,  interrupted by members of We Are Change UK. After disrupting the talk through a window with a megaphone, the activists attempted to effect a Citizen's arrest on Dearlove.

 In November 2007, the same group disrupted a Dearlove lecture at the LSE 4and the video of that action COULD be viewed at youtube:

The costliest, most grandiose research scheme ever attempted having germ warfare capability is going forward under President Bush and in apparent defiance of international treaties such as the Geneva Convention of 1925 that bans biological agents.

  "US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has ordered a full inventory of America's nuclear weapons after parts of a missile (bomb parts)were delivered to Taiwan by "mistake".

Sexual assaults are frequent, and frequently ignored, in the armed services.
Rapists in the ranks:The sexual liberators of Iraq.Women serving in the
U.S. military are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by
enemy fire in Iraq.
