Pregnant!

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Thursday May 13, 2004 19:52author by I Mac Diarmada - "it is a beautiful and noble name" - pity i'm such a muppet. Report this post to the editors

4 months to be precise.

Litle Miss Engurland, the smoking sadistic of clichéd lesbian appearance is now very famous for her part in the Iraqi prisoner scandal besetting these last days of the Silly Propaganda War on the US occupation force in Iraq and the USA in general.

Have I News for You!

-And what else i've been up to:-
"I don't want anyone taking my photo anymore" :- 4 month pregnant Tom Boy, "was only following orders" - "I thought it was a bit weird".
"I don't want anyone taking my photo anymore" :- 4 month pregnant Tom Boy, "was only following orders" - "I thought it was a bit weird".

Pfc. Lynndie England is presently awaiting court martial in North Carolina.

North Carolina was Dixie then swapped side and became Yankee. I'll not trouble you with the flag.

Anyway, Pfc. Lynndie England told KCNC-TV in Denver on Tuesday that her superiors gave her specific instructions on how to pose for the photos. Asked who gave the orders, she would say only, "Persons in my chain of command."

In photographs that have been shown worldwide, England, 21, is seen smiling, cigarette in her mouth, as she leans forward and points at the genitals of a naked, hooded Iraqi. Another photo taken at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison shows her holding a leash that encircles the neck of a naked Iraqi man lying on his side.

"I was instructed by persons in higher rank to 'stand there, hold this leash, look at the camera,' and they took pictures for PsyOps (psychological operations)," she told the station.

"I didn't really, I mean, want to be in any pictures," she said. She also said she thought "it was kind of weird."

The interview was taped Tuesday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where England, a military reservist from West Virginia, met with one of a team of Denver lawyers who have volunteered to take her case.

She faces anything from a reprimand to 15 years. In which case her child would be born in a US military prison.

One of her eventual legal team is Giorgio De Shaun Ra'Shadd. (his site:-
http://pview.findlaw.com/view/2827623_1
Ra'Shadd, a former U.S. Army attorney, said military intelligence and CIA officers replaced England's commanding officer and ordered the degradation.
"[They] told these kids what to do," said Mr Ra'Shadd.

Miss Engurland is now to be officially called a "tomboy".

Q. Who rules the airwaves?
A. We do. the "wireless heads".

details on her other lawyer:-
Rose Zapper. (¿don't we love the ZPs?)
don't exist, so this all might be fake!
If you are unhappy with current War propaganda and counter-propaganda, you could always write a nice letter to the White House asking them to improve it, by making sure researchers @ least have Winston Smith quality faked files to share. This really is the problem with the USA. They don't know how to fake properly. They'd never get away with faking the Rosetta stone. And they won't really pull the wool over our eyes on this one either. Will they?
Why I don't know, this isn't a serious news-site, you just wait and see how much of this ends up in your paid for news 2mrw.

******************************************

US inteligence sources in Washington have said that Mr Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi who's real name is Ahmad Fadil Nazzal Al-Khalayleh (C/F probably was the one to behead Nick Berg in a tape released this week.
Reuters have not specified which intelligence source, so it could be the CIA/NSA/FBI/ or military intelligence. Or it could be fraggle rock. We will wait and see how long the Nick Berg thing goes on, Today Rumsfeld flew into Iraq on a surprise visit. I suppose it was a tempting propaganda opportunity whilst in neighbouring Saudi (the non reported visit) to discuss the third day that US Crude is over 40$ a barrel and how it's good news for some and shitty news for YOU.

Meanwhile another independent media service is carrying a declaration that the Nick Berg video is a fake!!!

http://www.aztlan.net/fake_video.htm

The presumption being, if Marie Antoinette and all the rest, continued to have pumping blood in their bodies when the head came off, then there is no credible reason why Mr Berg's heart didn't pump blood out of his just killed body.
The video shows no blood spurt.
In Saudi Arabia a plastic sheet of 5 metres squared is needed to catch the blood spurt.
People get very worked up before their head gets chopped off and this adds spurt to the spurt. There is no spurt in the video.
Ergo:-
The video is a fake, or the man was already dead. Interestingly enough it seems the man's family are blacklisted. "fancy that".

INDIA!
Surprise Surprise!
As we all know, elections aren't the way they used to be, and 2004 has been filled with great sporting results, Today's good news is India.
India has just ditched Vajpayee.
The nasty nationalist of nuclear brinkmanshiper has resigned as of this afternoon.
Sonya Ghandi is getting ready to take the reins.
Sonia was born in Italy and married (assasinated) Rajiv Ghandi son of Mrs ghandi (assasinated) daughter of Ghandi (assasinated) who founded the modern state of India.
may she have better luck.
have a read of this at india indymedia:-
http://india.indymedia.org/en/2004/05/209378.shtml
Q. you know the problem with indians?
A. They're all Cowboys.
and so Sonia is being rejected by hindu nationalists as being an Italian. And she is very critical of them for their indisputable "saffroning" of education and history. This "saffroning" has had many negative results (in my humble opinion).
It has increased tensions between all ethnic groups in India, and tension between India and her muslim neighbours. It has had an impact on Anglo-Indian literature, which was arguable the most impressive literature in english to the end of the XX century. It has spawned the awful but terrible India MTV project and given the emergent rich of Bombay and India's silcione valley a self-indentity which is jingoist, aggressive and not to different from the equivalent class of Ireland's celtic Tiger. Except the Indian lot have nuclear weapons.

(Mumbai was/is Bombay. It was renamed by saffron nazis "Shiv Sena" and their leader, Bal Thackeray)

***********************************************
The odds on Blair going have been well adjusted :-

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,9061,1216070,00.html

And a new series is being offered by The Guardian,(great paper hi!) on
"how America can get out of Iraq".
[I'd subtitle it, coz i'm wicked, "in one piece"]
Included in today's clever writers in Mr Chomsky who is a really great leftie (Olé!) but terrible trans-species linguist, bet you he'd be a big softy on the Canadian Larvae Seals.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1215025,00.html

Whilst the British Defence Secretary maintains the pictures given to the popular tabloid Daily Mirror by "C" were not taken in Iraq. Perhaps we should ask Fanning to ask "C" where they were taken, cept "C" is not going to be in Porterhouse / Peterhouse is he?
no he's going to be getting bitten by mosquitos smoking spliffs with the days of the week and Q and the rest (luther's coming too)enjoying the mediterranean sunshine when all this over and forgotten bloggs. joe bloggs. Much better than hanging out with the stroke victims in cruddy cambridge in the rain keeping shameful silence about what you didn't say in the 70s. There is justice of a sort.

************************************************

Syria has announced many liberalisation measures, in the wake of an interview given to Spain's El Pais by Syrian President Bachar Al-Assad, yesterday in which stressed :-
"The USA has become a source of instability for the first time ever", and these are being reported on by both Spanish and French Media, the french is free:-
http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3218,36-364651,0.html
Yesterday Mr Bush the supreme Wookie, tried to be helpful by adding Syria to the list of embargoed nations.
************************************************
b.t.w. all the European press today except for Burluscunts and O'Reilly's are asking the same question:-
How in very argued about God's name or the now too many time uttered names of Hell, is the USA going to get out of the Babalon End Time War Game.

- I know.

But I will only tell you, if you promise to break up the continental United States of America, honour all international treaties relation to the foundation of the USA, stop the illegal occupation of Texas, and fine the USA for non contribution of dues to the UN, and then expel it, relagating it to crises 2nd world status whereupon we will do our best to help the poor Yankee Dixie poor _adjust_ to democracy.

Now a moment to remember.

On this day 88 years ago,
Connolly and Mac Diarmada were executed
for thier part in siging the declaration of independence of the Irish Republic.
that document:-
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=63725&condense_comments=false#comment64366
biography of Connolly:-
http://www.marxists.org/archive/connolly/
there are loads. They split hairs over everything. Connolly a Scottish born Socialist was quite a thinker and do-er.
biographies of Mac diarmada are more difficult to track down, not much was or is known about this very little photographed founder of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, they said he was charming anyway, and he knew what he was about. & when you think about it, he did it well.
if you can help the writing of a biography contact
[email protected]
who to my knowledge is researching a book.


James Connolly was tied bleeding to a chair so they could shoot him.
Mac Diarmada who had since 1911 suffered polio was tied to a stake so he could stand.

And then they put both bodies in Lime.
For that time they did not leave us our Fenian Dead.
But the names are all we need, for verily a terrible beauty was born. And that's our culture.
