The so-called “War on Terror” has brought misery, maiming, and death all around the world, especially since the 9/11 cover-up. But it has also spawned the widespread use of killer drones, a most abhorrent robotic murdering machine. While these unmanned aerial weapons are used to surveil unsuspecting people, a most invasive and immoral act, they are also used to “legally” kill people without any benefit of due process. This now includes Americans!
Those who operate these killer drones are cold blooded killers, and they are cowards! They sit in their heated or air conditioned office from afar and target people they know little if anything about, and murder them. If there are other innocents in the area, including women and children, they are killed as well. These unholy assassinations and murders are carried out on the say so of one man, and without the benefit of conscience.
A government memo, or White Paper has recently been exposed by NBC News. It is titled:
This memo outlines the criteria that the White House uses in order to justify when it can target an American for killing. The reasons stated are simply that any American in the world can be assassinated if they are either a senior operational leader of al Qaeda, or an associated force. This is scary beyond imagination.
Some might agree that any al Qaeda member should be killed on sight. That is not only immoral, but is based on a false hatred that has been instilled into the masses due to government propaganda. The U.S. government is al Qaeda in the sense that it supports fully many al Qaeda members who are used to prosecute uprisings around the world. This is certainly true of both Libya and Syria.
The real problem considering even this first reason is that on the say so of the president alone, any American deemed to be a senior al Qaeda member can be targeted for killing. But there is no proof necessary, no charge levied, and no due process whatsoever. The president in other words, can murder anyone he chooses to simply by claiming that they are al Qaeda, regardless of any proof.
That is bad enough, but the second reason is completely ludicrous. “An associated force” does not pass any test of right or reason, and could literally be claimed against any American. Since I write against the U.S. government, am I an associated force?
Remember, we are only talking about the “lawfulness” of killing Americans, but what about the reasons for targeting others around the world? Do any rules apply? I can’t prove it, but my guess is that there are few if any rules as to who can be targeted for assassination outside this country. The government after all has stated that it considers any military aged male to be an insurgent!
The evil U.S. government claims that targeting and then murdering in cold blood a U.S. citizen is not an assassination because:
“A lawful killing in self-defense is not an assassination,” the white paper reads. “In the Department’s view, a lethal operation conducted against a U.S. citizen whose conduct poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States would be a legitimate act of national self-defense that would not violate the assassination ban. Similarly, the use of lethal force, consistent with the laws of war, against an individual who is a legitimate military target would be lawful and would not violate the assassination ban.” (From this NBC story)
This is idiocy and is a lie, and is propaganda used by the state to sanction outright pre-meditated murder. A false justification for a most immoral act only solidifies the fact that the U.S. government is certainly a terrorist organization!
The U.S. does not keep any records of how many it kills in these unholy drone attacks. Most, if not all of those killed and maimed, are innocents, including women and children. The U.S. has become the biggest terrorist nation-state to ever exist, and now is “legalizing” the murder of American citizens. This government should be shut down, and all those in government or the military who participate in outright murder should be imprisoned. They are the real criminals! They are the real terrorists!
In just the next three years, over 30,000 drones will fill the air space of this country, and the government now claims the right to assassinate any American with a drone attack. Will you or your family be targeted for assassination in the police state of America?
