Iraqi Forces Storm Iranian Dissidents in Iraq

Tehran Seeks to Divert Attention from its Oppression in Iran
As Injuries and Deaths Mount in Iraq, the Obama Administration
Could be Implicated in Human Rights Violations

Washington, DC—On Tuesday, 28 July 2009, Iraqi Security Forces stormed the residents of an enclave in Iraq where unarmed Iranian dissidents have been living under the protection of U.S. military forces until such protection for their security transferred to the Government of Iraq at the end of 2008.

According to IPC President and former member of the National Security Council Staff at the White House, Professor Raymond Tanter, “As the continuation of demonstrations and resultant suppression by the Iranian regime divide the clerical leadership and show its weaknesses, the ruling clerics have persuaded their proxies in the Iraqi Security Forces to attack unarmed Iranian civilians in Iraq. But the schisms that divide the clerics will not close by shifting the arena from Iran to Iraq.”

Prof. Tanter continued, “After all the American blood spilled and U.S. treasure spent on the transformation of Iraq into a moderate American ally in the Middle East, it would be the height of irony if the Obama administration remained silent in face of the humanitarian tragedy that is unfolding in Iraq with the assault of Iraqi Security Forces on unarmed Iranian dissidents.”

According to General Thomas McInerney (Lt Gen, US Air Force Ret, Chair of the IPC Advisory Council), “When armies attack unarmed noncombatants, those who conduct the operation, those who gave the order, and those who transferred responsibility may be subject to being prosecuted for committing war crimes.”

Gen. McInerney continued, “The Obama administration may be ultimately prosecutable for dereliction of its responsibility to make sure the Iraqi Security Forces treat those formerly under U.S. protection in a humane fashion. As the Iraqis attack Iranian dissidents, it opens the door to prosecutable offenses on the part of the Obama administration.”

According to MG Paul Vallely (US Army Ret, IPC Advisory Council), “Now that Iraqi Security Forces have responsibility for protecting Iranian opposition Camp Ashraf and some 3,000 plus Iranian residents, the Iranian regime’s modus operandi clearly suggests that there will be increased assaults on the unarmed civilians by uniformed soldiers on orders from Tehran.”

Gen. Vallely continued, “At the time that Tehran is attacking its own citizens on the streets of Iran and promoting violence by its proxy Hamas in Gaza, it is also continuing to fill a political vacuum in Iraq as the United States forces are gradually drawing down. As well, Iran is moving closer to having deployable nuclear weapons and now is not the time for the United States to make concessions to the Iranian regime and its Iraqi proxies by turning a blind eye to assassinations of innocent Iranian civilians in Iraq.”

According to R. Bruce McColm, President of the Institute for Democratic Strategies, IPC Board of Directors, “The Fourth Geneva Convention protections of the people in Camp Ashraf and declarations of Amnesty International dictate that unarmed Ashraf inhabitants should not be attacked by the uniformed military of Iraq.”

McColm states, “The residents of Ashraf, Iraq were awarded protected persons status by the United States in 2004. In this respect, such attacks are incompatible with the Fourth Geneva Convention, international humanitarian regulations, and other international laws.”

McColm concluded that, “Because the United States military has played a monitoring role over the Iranian dissidents to ensure their security as ‘protected persons,’ Washington could be implicated in any war crimes human rights violations that befall them as they are assaulted in their homes.”

Diversions: The Oldest Trick in the Book













Actress Janeane Garofalo appeared on MSNBC's "Countdown" April 17, to give her expert analysis on why hundreds of thousands of Americans attended tea party protests on Wednesday.
In the segment -- which started with yet another mature "tea-bagging" joke -- Garofalo said the following:

"You know, there's nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech they're not quite certain what he's saying... this is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up."

Garofalo's ignorant rant continued with accusations of protesters not having a clue what the original tea party (1773) was all about. Obviously, Garofalo has no clue what either event was about, but, she can exercise her freedom of speech, presently, as a result of the efforts in 1773, which ignited the rally developing into the Revolution.

This vulgar display by Garofalo came on the heels of Janet Napolitano's report being leaked. The report, issued by the Dept. of Homeland Security, which Napolitano heads, was meant only for law enforcement agencies. The intent was to place them on notice to be watchful of the percentage of the population which opposes any policies of Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama.

Labeled "Extremists", more than half the population was targeted as a "Terrorist threat". Military, pro-life advocates, all who defend the 2nd amendment, are all to be watched carefully. In other words, Christians, or any people with moral values, are a threat. In all, every individual in the United States which disagrees with Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, is conceived as a threat.

We expect ignorant rants from celebrities, and such, who think their IQ automatically rose with their income. Our public leaders, however, should practice some restraint of their display of ignorant bias, or worse, prejudice. After much response and outrage regarding her categorizing our soldiers as being an unstable threat, Napolitano issued an apology from every news network. It is not a question of how sorry Napolitano is for the report being leaked. The real issue is who is dealing with the real terrorist threats for which the agency was formed. Even though law suits are being filed, Napolitano's competency to take on the responsibility of protecting U.S. citizens is what should be scrutinized.

The Tea Party rallies all over the country were peaceful and successful in showing a growing populous is realizing government oppression. Look, aside from all the smoke being blown by the leftists, it comes down to only two categories remaining in this issue, over all. It all revolves around our Constitution. Argue mindlessly and spew rhetoric, but, the only active items are, you either support our Constitutional Law, or not. That is what all this is about.

As long as all abide by our nation's laws, it all works. The problem is, the last five administrations, present included, have ignored the Constitution, in favor of their own power, and agenda. This is exactly what the founding fathers, who authored the document, intended to prevent. Judges and Attornies General are changing our laws on a daily basis; laws they swore an oath to uphold.

We were never supposed to be servants of the government. The government is supposed to be servants of "We The People". Along the way, the elite of our country and foreign interests have been appalled by such freedom of the people, and spend all their efforts and resources in attempt to dismantle it. The Tea Party protesters are not Bush lovers, or Republican sore losers as the Dems would have you believe. They certainly are not racists.

Where were the liberals to speak out against the fanatics, representing their values, interrupting free speech in numerous protests. I thought that was the number one golden rule of the liberal. "You can't shut us up" has been heard over the last four decades. Why then do the liberals go out of their way to shut everybody up? It couldn't be because they disagree, could it?

Where is a report from any government agency warning law enforcement to watch liberals? With a running track record of violence and destructing of property to get attention, no one in the current administration is the least bit concerned of acts committed by their constituents. From rocks thrown through windows and car burnings, to bombings and shootings... no labeling or special attention.

It is simple. We were led to believe it was necessary to give an initial few corrupt corporations billions of our tax dollars, or our whole economy would fail. Along came Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, carrying the same torch even further, making it obvious, the objective is to make our economy fail. He has displayed, with no restraint, his intent to carry the country into a global resolve. That means removing our sovereignty and tearing up our Constitution. The bottom line is, all ridiculous rhetoric aside, which category do you fall under? Pro Constitution and Sovereignty, or anti Constitution and forming a new government, a Socialist government, is the only real debate.

Mr. Soetoro, aka Obama, is following a strict agenda, to align all his proverbial cookies, in order to achieve his global plan. He has already disregarded many Constitutional laws. His followers never miss an opportunity to use Bush as an argument. "Why was there no protests against Bush?", is the most common response by liberals. All this 'bail-out' and 'devastation' to our economy issue began boiling over, as the presidential campaign was winding down. If you remember, Soetoro, aka Obama, was in complete agreement with Bush's resolve at the time it started rearing its ugly head. Now it has multiplied into a multi-trillion dollar deficit, and trillions of dollars being printed with no real value.

If you explained the concept to a twelve year old child, in laymen terms, he or she would understand this cannot work. The portion of the population, many of which supported Soetoro/Obama, which is realizing the facts and the obvious conclusion, are demanding government accountability. This is the right of all American citizens. The Tea Party protesters, in a peaceful way, are seeking their legal right for due process, under the Constitution. Laws being adhered to, not broken, is the demand of the people. Anybody speaking out against that should be ashamed. Anybody trying to silence that, is in affect against the law of the land.

The oldest trick in the book is to distract the victim with the left hand, while attacking with the right hand. Create as many diversions as possible, that has always been the proven, elementary tactic of any conspirator. What will be determined as the most elaborate con job in history, is unfolding right under American noses. Creating the need for a global resolve, and taking our attention away from criminal acts in order to achieve it, is the number one objective.

I am more than confident, several investigations/indictments will result from any and all attempts to undermine our nation's sovereignty. Included in these, but not limited to, will be both Bush's and Mr. Soetoro, aka Barack Obama. The numerous diversions are to lead the citizens away from any attempts to initiate justice, before the necessary 'legal blocks' have been implemented. Just as Mr.Soetoro has spent a small fortune blocking all legal attempts to demand proof of his identity and eligibility to hold office, they will create the illusion for the need to use force against any opposition.

As numbers grow, they will not be able to ignore the will of the people. Our Constitution, and justice, will prevail. As of today, the U.S. Attorney, and the Attorney General of Georgia, have both refused to accept indictments, legally submitted by citizen Grand Juries. Their primary reason for rejecting documents legitimized by our Constitution is stated as they don't serve the people. This is exactly the point of the Tea Party mission. More pressure is being placed on various judicial systems every day. Soetoro cannot block everything. Eventually, he will be accountable.
