"If Washington wants war with Iran, Russia, and China, why not simply declare war? The reason that the U.S. Constitution requires....a declaration of war by Congress is to prevent the executive branch from orchestrating wars in order to further hidden agendas. By abdicating its constitutional responsibility, the U.S. Congress is complicit in the executive branch's war crimes."
By any measure Roberts' views herein and elsewhere are heady stuff. Read them and then try and argue that America is still the go to global good guy. Yet they are a welcome riposte to the Orwellian double-speak we are being force fed over this incident in particular and the Ukraine situation in general. Or any other hotspot hellhole on the geopolitical landscape in which America has some interest. What follows is a compelling observation to be sure:
"As there are a number of possible explanations, let's keep open minds and resist Washington's propaganda until facts and evidence are in. In the very least the U. S. is guilty of using the [MH17] incident to blame Russia in advance of the evidence. All Washington has shown us so far is accusations and insinuations.....In the meantime, remember the story of the boy who cried 'wolf!' He lied so many times that when the wolf did come, no one believed him." [My emphasis].
And in attempting to underscore their case for determining what happened to MH17, if Washington or anyone else for that matter want to talk about such things as "fabrication of evidence", "crimes and cover-ups", "compromising crime scenes" and "evidence tampering" and the like (and indeed the vexed, related issue of support for terrorists, separatists, rebels, dissidents etc., as well as the blowback from that support, and taking responsibility for that blowback), they may need to take a reality check and a cold shower and remember a Little Thing Called 9/11.
To paraphrase our own fearless, gung-ho PM Mr Abbott here in Australia, it was actually with 9/11 wherein we witnessed "truly industrial scale" evidence tampering, removal, destruction and/or fabrication, cover-ups galore, and supreme master-classes in how to compromise a crime scene you don't want investigated too thoroughly and be covering one's rear end at the same time. The MH17 disaster doesn't come within a cooee on this point.
Whether by way then of sheer, perhaps historically unprecedented, incompetence at best -- or their own complicity or contrivance at worst -- 9/11 was Washington's very own crime scene, over which they, and they only, had total control. Certainly during and after the fact, and one suspects, maybe even before! Like with MH17, we still don't know what really happened on that fateful day. And like the 'old' Pearl Harbor, the "New Pearl Harbor" may prove to be an even bigger "Day in Infamy" in the Grand American Narrative. But possibly not in the way some folks might anticipate!
And with folks now already crying foul over perceived conflicts of interest in respect to the principal players involved in, and responsible for, officially investigating the MH17 incident (Malaysia itself has inexplicably been excluded from the investigation team), we can expect that conspiracy theories will abound. At the very least, we can anticipate accusations of "cover-up" from those who may not be satisfied with the investigation's conclusions.
Just what we need then. Some more conspiracy theories to add to those already piling up in every nook and cranny of Foggy Bottom, the Pentagon, Fort Meade, the White House, and down on the Langley 'Farm' of course.
And just when I thought it was safe to remove my tin-foil hat.
