While a Gunman was Killing 19
children and their teachers in Ulvade Texan Police Handcuffed, Pepper
Sprayed and Tasered the Parents Instead!
The Problem Isn’t Gun Law
but America’s Violent Racist Society - Gun Law Reform Won’t Change That
Police Cowards in Uvalde
If ever there was a demonstration as to why the Police should
be defunded, it was on display in Uvalde, Texas. Heavily armed Police stood
outside the classroom where the gunman was murdering defenceless children
because they didn’t have a key to the door!
They apparently believed all the children were dead but didn’t
have the courage to find out for themselves if anyone was alive. It has taken a
tragedy like Uvalde to demonstrate that the Police aren’t there to protect
people but to protect property.
Police Justify Doing Nothing
Heavily armed police refused to go into the school and
instead saw their job as harassing and persecuting desperate parents. One
parent, Angeli Rose Gomez, was handcuffed. When freed she jumped the fence and
went in to rescue her child whilst these heavily armed cowards stood outside,
pepper spraying and tasering distraught parents.
40% of Uvalde’s budget was spent on these entitled cowards.
They should not only be sacked but prosecuted for gross negligence manslaughter.
But of course they won’t because the Supreme Court has given them virtual
immunity.
Police cowards Outside Uvalde school Texas Tackle
Parents Instead of the Gunman
Texas Governor, the Christian bigot Greg Abbott, an anti-abortionist
and pro-death penalty supporter, meanwhile spent the aftermath praising the
pigs in uniform.
Of course when it comes to shooting an unarmed Black kid then
these heroes will rise to the challenge but otherwise they are useless. Ulvade doubled
the amount it was spending in one year on providing school security but the
killer still ran past police and armed guards. Indeed he was outside for 12
minutes shooting but no one had the gall to tackle him.
He posted what he was intending to do on Fuckerberg’s Facebook
but the Moderators, who are so quick to uphold ‘community standards’ when it
comes to supporting the Palestinians saw nothing.
If nothing else this shows that there is a need for a
different, community model of policing. If the parents had had the guns that
the Police had then the gunman would have been neutralised far earlier. We need
to get away from the idea that we need separate groups of Police to protect
us.The Police have as their priority
the defence of the wealthy and property not people.
Meanwhile the far-Right Governor of
Texas, Greg Abbot, pontificated about ‘evil’ stalking the land. Clearly he was not
in possession of a mirror because it is Abbott who represents evil. Abbot
blamed the murder of 19 children and 2 teachers on mental illness and virtually
anything but himself and the armed goons who saw attacking the parents as more
important than tackling a lone gunman.
His Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke
confronted Abbot over his do nothing approach.
Of course Abbot is an easy target. He opposes gun control on principle. Abbot
is a particularly vile creature. But it is easy to fall back on the panacea of
gun control.
Norway has a very high rate of gun ownership and yet despite the USA having
50 times the population of Norway it has 10,000 times the murder rate. The
reasons for the high rate of gun crime in the USA and in particular this
phenomenon of shooting children in schools can’t simply be explained by lack of
gun control.
The fact is that as a
settler-colonial society which recently had slavery, the US is an endemically
violent society. It is the only Western state that has the death penalty. To
this day the USA maintains a concentration camps in Guantanamo. It has the
highest rate of incarceration, some 2 million prisoners, some of whom are kept
in conditions that amount to torture. Super-max prisons where inmates are kept
in shackles and solitary confinement.
The US is responsible for a
phenomenal amount of violence around the world, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Israel.
The CIA has been given a license to torture and the US even has a training
school for torturers and death squads, the School of the Americas which is now renamed the Institute
for Security Cooperation.
If Israel maintains a violent
occupation it does so courtesy of US weapons and subsidies. At the moment the
US is doing its best to encourage a genocidal war in Ukrainian by supplying it
with limitless weapons. The US is the world’s major arms supplier.The US is the prime factor in violence in the
world. Is it any wonder that US violence abroad is imported back home?
The US is of course a massively
unequal society and the purpose of the Police is to keep it that way.
Inequality breeds violence. The US can’t afford a national health service but
it can afford 800 foreign bases and at spends at least $750
billion on its armed forces. It spends more than the next 9 countries put
together on its military.
Why should anyone be surprised when
this makes some people mentally ill enough to want to kill American kids? After
all the US army has been killing children for years in its Drone Wars without
any comeback.
The idea that gun control by itself
can solve the problem of internal violence is a pipedream sown by the Democrats
who, as the Ukraine war has proven, are worse imperialists than the
Republicans. In Congress it was 57 Republicans who opposed
the $40 billion to Ukrainian neo-Nazis. In the Senate it was 11 Republican
Senators who voted against.
Not one Democrat in Congress – not
Sanders, not AOC, not Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib voted against supplying the
Azov Battalion with nice, shiny new US weaponry.
It is a tragedy that 19 children and
their teachers died in Texas but no one should be fooled that gun control by
itself that will be the remedy.The
United States is a violent society and violence begets violence.
The wanton massacre of civilians, in a
Nazi style execution, makes no sense from the perspective of the Russian
forces. We know that they have fed and provided water to civilian inhabitants.
Why would they want to perpetrate a massacre such as in Bucha? What possible
good would it do them?
However the massacre of Russian
supporting Ukrainians by fascist militias which abound in Ukraine today does
undoubtedly make sense.
Russian Torture victim
Undoubtedly there will be individual
instances of war crimes by Russian soldiers. All armies perpetrate such
atrocities in times of war and where they happen they should be severely
punished. But the story of a Russian massacre at Bucha doesn’t ring true. It is
what the CIA’s paramilitaries in El Salvador and Nicaragua have done. It is the
United States which set up the School
of the Americas in order to train such groups in torture and murder.
Azov Torture Victim
On 30 March Russian forces left Bucha, a
town on the outskirts of Kyev. They had been using Kiev as a diversion to split up Ukraine’s
troops. They rerouted their troops to the Donbas to bottle up and destroy the
125,000 Ukrainian troops there.
The very next day a beaming Anatolii Fedoruk, the Mayor of Bucha, in a video
on Bucha City Council’s official Facebook page, which was aired on Ukrainian TV
channel Ukraine 24 TV, announced, in a translated
post accompanying the video that March 31 was:
the day of the liberation of Bucha. This day will
go down in the glorious history of Bucha and the entire Bucha community as a
day of liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian occupiers.
Now you
would have thought that if there were 700+ dead bodies scattered around town,
that he might have noticed something?
bodies with Russian packs
On 2nd
April, the Communication Department of the National Police of Ukraine posted
photos and a YouTube video on their website.
They declared that their Special Unit, Safari (mainly Azov), would be carrying
out a "cleansing operation" to "liquidate" pro-Russian
"saboteurs" and "collaborators" on April 1st. They also
asked residents to stay indoors and to not be alarmed. A female politician from
the area also publicly broadcast the same message on television: that a
"cleansing operation" was taking place, and for residents to stay
indoors and not t panic. You can find the announcement
here:
‘Special Forces Regiment SAFARI Begins
Clearing Operation in Bucha from Saboteurs and Accomplices of Russia’.
The Safari
consists of members of the Azov Battalion and one particularly notorious thug
and murderer, Sergey Korotkikh, who according
to Evan Reif is a man also known as Botsun, Malyuta. Bandit, Terrorist and
most fitting of all, Nazi.
Sergey
"Boatsman" Korotkikh was not only among the first Ukrainian forces in
the town along with his squad of terrorists, he was making jokes about shooting
civilians as he entered. He would later happily post these videos on his
official telegram channel. Botsun is captured on film asking his commanding
officer
“There are guys without blue armbands, can I shoot them?”
“Fuck yeah
Dead bodies with white armbands
Most of
the victims were wearing white armbands (friendly to Russia), or had them used
to tie their hands behind their backs. The photo of the alley shows multiple
victims lying dead next to Russian ration packs. These ration packs are green
with star symbols on them which you can see in the photographs. The Ukrainian
State's public policy is to treat any civilian who trades eggs and other dairy
goods for dry goods with the Russians as ‘collaborators’.
The bodies in the street look placed, as they are lying in a symmetrical
pattern which isn't natural--the victims wouldn't have fallen so perfectly, if,
say, dumped from the back of a moving truck, or shot while in the area.
A young Ukrainian,
known only as Halexandria, posted a comment on YouTube in which she stated that she
has family who live in Bucha. After the initial fighting between Russian and
Ukrainian forces, Russians handed out food and water to residents--some took
it, and others declined it. After the Russians pulled out on March 30th, the
mayor of the town betrayed the townspeople, and told Ukrainian forces which
residents took humanitarian aid. Military personnel then broke into people's
homes, and shot anyone who the mayor alleged took aid, or had ration packs in
their home, and anyone else who got in their way. Her family members witnessed
this, as they live very close to some of the residents who were shot.
bodies with Russian packs
All of this evidence
points to the Bucha Massacre being committed by the Nazi Safari unit of the
Ukrainian National Police, under instructions of the state itself.
Any
forensic pathologist would tell you that bodies exposed for two weeks would
have bloated, expanded with gas, burst, changed colour, and spilled liquidised
organs onto the ground according to any basic forensic analysis. The victims were
clearly killed soon after the Russian withdrawal,
The
Russians, when accused of this crime 3 days later, immediately demanded a
special session of the UN Security Council. And you know what? Britain, which
was in the Chair, refused the request. Now why would that be?
The
Guardian, ever the faithful servant of the British Security State and NATO, is
getting very perturbed about all this. It ran an article on April 21 Facebook
posts disputing Bucha atrocities shared 208,000 times in a week. It seems,
judging by comments on the Guardian’s
Facebook page that more and more people are not buying the never ending,
ceaseless propaganda barrage by NATO and its loyal press.
The neo-Nazi insignia of NATO's Nazis
Now if
the Guardian and the rest of Britain’s yellow press were seriously concerned
about this horrific massacre, then the first thing they would do would be to
demand an impartial, international inquiry into who did this. Even UN Secretary
General, António
Guterres’s demand
for an inquiry has been ignored. Yet the Guardian complains in a non-story that
people aren’t buying into NATO’s lies anymore.
The real
question is why, instead of a barrage of war propaganda, the Guardian and the
BBC aren’t supporting Gutuerre’s demand for an inquiry.
NYT: Ukraine Responsible For Bucha War Crimes Against Russians
Perhaps
the reason is because, as a Pentagon official admitted,
even they can't independently confirm atrocities in Ukraine's Bucha, official
says. None of this has prevented a rush to judgement by the mass media. Why?
Because they want it to be the Russians. The idea that they might at last have
to face up to the fact that the West is backing a Ukrainian state, whose
security forces depend on 100,000 strong neo-Nazi paramilitaries might cause
people to start asking questions as to why we are backing Zelensky. People
might even start to ask whether Russia had a very good case for intervening in
Ukraine in order to defend its Russian speaking population and Ukrainian
Russians.
Woman tortured and killed by Azov in Mariupol - swastika engraved into her
Background
The
background to this is what happened in 2014. To compensate for the lack of
soldiers, the
Ukrainian government resorted to paramilitary militias. In 2020, they constituted
about 40 percent of the Ukrainian forces and numbered about 102,000 men,
according
to Reuters. They were armed, financed and trained by the
United States, Great Britain, Canada and France. There were more than 19
nationalities.
Disagreeing with NATO's narrative is defined by Twitter as 'harassment'
These
militias have been operating in the Donbas since 2014, with Western support. These militias are violent,
convey a nauseating ideology and are virulently anti-Semitic and
are composed of fanatical and brutal individuals. The best known of these is
the Azov Regiment, whose emblem is reminiscent of the 2nd SS Das Reich Panzer Division,
which ‘liberated’ Kharkov from the Soviet Union in 1943, before carrying out
the 1944 Oradour-sur-Glane massacre in France.
So,
the West supported and continued to arm militias that have been guilty of
numerous crimes
against civilian populations since 2014.
The
integration of these paramilitary forces into the Ukrainian National Guard was
not accompanied by a "denazification," as
some claim.
What happened in Bucha
is part of a continuous fabrication of stories over the war in Ukraine.It is literally impossible to believe
anything you see anymore on the BBC, Sky or the major press with the exception
of the Morning Star.
Take for example the
so called Russian strike on a railway station in
Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine involving a Tochka-U missile. This kind of
missile is not used by Russia but it has nonetheless been blamed on Russia.
The serial number on
the missile that hit the Kramatorsk train station matches exactly, bar one
digit, the serial number on a missile that was shot into the Donbas in 2015.
Russia decommissioned Tochka-U missiles in 2019. Also, an analysis by DNR
forces on the ground found that the trajectory very likely points to the
missile being fired from Ukrainian-held territory.
Patrick Lancaster and Matron at Mariupol Hospital
Or take the continuous
lies that have been broadcast about Mariupol. It has taken a brave and
independent journalist, Patrick Lancaster (please donate to his appeal for
expenses) to broadcast the truth about the Russian bombardment on a hospital in
the city. Patrick interviewed the matron in the hospital that was bombed who
confirmed that all the patients had been ordered days before to leave in order
that Azov thugs could establish themselves in the hospital.
Of course when Israel
bombs a hospital or clinic in Gaza no one says a word when Israel says Hamas is
using it. But when the neo-Nazi Azov regiment claims a hospital was bombed it
is held to be true. But judge for yourself.
Dead left behind in
Mariupol
There is a concerted
attempt to whitewash the Azov brigade. We had one of the main Zionist
organisation in the United States, the Anti-Defamation League, which can sniff
out ‘anti-Semitism’ miles away, whitewashing Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Youtube, which for some reason defines itself as a 'community' does its best to deter people from accessing material questioning NATO's Nazi narrative
As Ali Abunimah wrote
on 17 March, two weeks before the ADL published
an article by Andrew Srulevitch, its director of European affairs, which
can only be called a whitewash of Ukrainian Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera,
who had the blood of 200,000 Jews on his hands as well as 100,00 Poles.
In an
interview with David Fishman
who is a professor of Jewish History at the Jewish Theological Seminary as well
as a member of the academic committee of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Srulevitch
asked
“We’ve seen
torchlit marches in the middle of [Kiev] with the red and black flags of UPA …
and pictures of Stepan Bandera, who allied with the Nazis during WWII” “Isn’t
that evidence of Nazism in Ukraine?”
“For Ukrainian nationalists, UPA and
Bandera are symbols of the Ukrainian fight for Ukrainian independence. The UPA
allied with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union for tactical – not
ideological – reasons.
“Bandera
envisioned the Ukraine as a classic one-party state with himself in the role of
führer, or providnyk, and expected that a new Ukraine would take its
place under the Nazi umbrella.”
However Fishman
then contradicted himself:
“For Jews, however, not only is allying with
the Nazis unforgivable under any circumstance, but historians have documented
that Ukrainian nationalists participated together with Germans in the murder of
many thousands of Jews in Ukraine,” Fishman adds.
If
‘Ukrainians’ participated in murdering thousands of Jews doesn’t that suggest
some form of ideological alignment? People then wonder why I have made it a
specialism to document the history of Nazi-Zionist collaboration.
Fishman
asserted that “There are neo-Nazis in
Ukraine, just as there are in the US, and in Russia for that matter... But
they are a very marginal group with no political influence and who don’t attack
Jews or Jewish institutions in Ukraine.”
Another example of this attempt to whitewash Ukraine's neo-Nazis was the sacking of Jewish journalist Konstanty Gebert from a Polish newspaper for refusing to describe Azov as 'far- right' rather than neo-Nazi.
And this reportUkrainian neo-Nazis torture Jewish anti-war
MMA athlete suggests that ADL are doing what Zionists have always done,
lying and playing down anti-Semitism when it is the genuine article. Why? Because
their relationship with the US state demands that they ignore the actual
anti-Semitism of the US’s allies. It is a replay of the Zionists’ behaviour in WW2.
We know
from the presumed death
of blogger Gonzalo Lira that the Azov Battalion and Ukrainian neo-Nazis will
stop at nothing to silence independent journalists and bloggers and prevent the
truth emerging from Ukraine. In this they are enormously helped by papers like
the ‘liberal’ Guardian.
NATO's fascist goons joke about the murder of Gonzalo Lira who was betrayed by the Daily Beast to the SBU
In the
same way the true story of what has happened in Mariupol and the reported
murder of hundreds of its Russian speaking inhabitants is being deliberately
covered up by our mass media. They prefer to report on the ‘heroic’ last stand of
Azov at the steel plant. Human shields only apply in Gaza not Ukraine. See
Patrick Lancaster’s road
of death and his interview with
a Mariupol resident
Resident in Mariupol interviewed about Azov's terror
We hear a lot about Zelensky being Jewish (in fact
he is an ultra-Zionist). But as The Nation wrote:
TV
comedian-turned-politician Volodymyr Zelensky was elected last year as
Ukraine’s first Jewish president, yet “anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected
ultranationalism are rampant” in the country, reports .
A victim of CIA trained torturers in Ukraine
It has been also been confirmed
that the SAS are in the Kiev region training Ukrainians. NATO has been training
Ukrainian troops since at least 2014. The third floor of the SBU (Ukraine’s version
of the SS) headquarters is dedicated to the CIA who are also heavily involved
in such activities.
There are also reports
that the Ukrainians asked the Turkish military whether their drones could
administer over 20 litres of aerosol, and the Turks said no. There is now footage
of jerry-rigged drones that have been captured by Russians which have tanks and
aerosol administration devices attached to them. Why would this be?Because if you want to stage a false chemical
attack (& remember Azov alleged
a chemical attack in Mariupol which has now been forgotten) then a drone would
be an idea means of delivery.
