Dog Murder Double Standards Kurt Nimmo As should be expected, not only the blogosphere is abuzz over the sadistic murder of a whimpering puppy, allegedly by Marine David Motari, but so is the corporate media. As for the latter, we get lame excuses, for instance from shrinks employed by ABC News. David Spiegel, professor and associate chairman of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and thus supposedly an expert on these sort of things, tells us Motari was confronting “the fear of being wounded or killed… and one of the ways to confront that may be by showing you’re the one that renders other creatures helpless,” in other words, by sadistically murdering puppies and, we can only imagine, possibly other innocents unable to offer defense. Meanwhile, over at Wired, we are told “it was more common to hear reports of soldiers rescuing animals in Iraq than mistreating them.” Maybe. But one can only wonder how many animals have died — from bullets of various caliber and bombs of various composition (depleted uranium is especially nasty) — in addition to well over a million Iraqis at the hands of the U.S. military, sent to “liberate” them from Saddam.
But what is really surprising — then again, considering the depth and severity of brainwashing in America, maybe not — are the bloggers who refuse to believe a Marine would do such a thing, no doubt the same as many who refuse to believe “our” government would not kill 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Instead of taking the video at face value, they believe it is a fake. After all, it simply cannot be real because they don’t want to believe Americans are capable of such things. From the above cited Wired article:
No explanation offered why it is not real or “so clearly fake,” but we can take a guess — “our boys” are not like those Arabs, specifically al-Qaeda and Saddam, who are considered evil incarnate, somehow less than human, monsters, psychopaths, a series of irrational deductions and stereotypes arrived at with no shortage of corporate media prodding and propaganda, ad nauseam and non-stop like a sickening deluge in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. It is a demonization process, well engineered, that has worked quite well, allowing the U.S. to wantonly murder, rape, and torture on a nearly unprecedented scale — only Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were more ambitious. In order to better understand this double standard, let’s take a trip back in time — specifically to August, 2002. “A large archive of al Qaeda videotapes obtained by CNN in Afghanistan sheds new light on Osama bin Laden’s terror network, revealing images of chemical gas experiments on dogs, lessons on making explosives, terrorist training tactics and previously unseen images of bin Laden and his top aides,” CNN reported. “Among the most frightening scenes in the collection of tapes are those of testing of a poison gas on three dogs. The disturbing images show the dying moments of the defenseless, enclosed animals.” “Ahmed Rassam, an al-Qaeda-trained terrorist who pleaded guilty in 2001 to attempting to bomb Los Angeles International Airport, admitted in court last year he had witnessed the gassing of a dog with cyanide,” NewsMax reported on August 20, 2002. Mr. Rassam’s assertion, however, should be taken with a pinch of salt, as he was allegedly trained at Darunta, an “Arab Afghan” base in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, established by the CIA and MI-6 and allowed to “pass” into the control of one Ibn Cheikh, a Libyan leader of al-Qaeda, according to France’s Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure (see French Report CIA & MI6 Funded Afghan Al Qaeda Camp):
In fact, the sensationalized dog killings
mentioned above were supposedly conducted at the Darunta camp, according
to CNN. “Al Qaeda documents examined by CNN last fall in the bombed
out ruins of the Darunta camp showed chemical formulas for sarin. Other
documents connect the Darunta camp, a series of mud and stone buildings,
to chemical testing.”
Naturally, the fact this camp was established by the CIA and gifted to al-Qaeda, itself a documented CIA contrivance, is not mentioned by CNN. But then the idea was to shock Americans with disturbing images of a gassed Fido and thus send the message that al-Qaeda is truly a gaggle of murderous and psychopathic brigands capable of coldly doing in sweet little puppies. After killing the pup, of course, they would use their newly honed skills on American grade school kids. Few proclaimed the Darunta camp videotape to be “clearly fake,” little more than a “sick joke.”
Sort of like the humans at the Abu
Ghraib torture and rape compound?
Obviously, it is a nearly effortless task to convince somnolent Americans, plugged in to Faux News and CNN for their intellectual sustenance, that “our boys” are good and it is only on rare and isolated occasion they commit such acts as brutally torturing small animals — if at all because a blurry and compressed cell phone video is “clearly fake.” In fact, the Iraqi killing fields are precisely designed — in addition to liquidating over a million Iraqis and decimating one of the oldest cultures on the planet — to inure “our boys” to the stench of carnage and mass murder, no matter the lame excuses weakly offered by shrinks at CNN or the incredulity of bloggers unable to get their minds around the very real and scary fact government is a serial murder machine.
