Internet Statement 2011-16 "Justice" using mafia's methods? Maria Weiß, 8.5.2011
There
are more and more details coming out now about the execution of bin
Laden. If you had had the impression since the beginning that in principle
jungle methods are being applied by the US government and the secret
services taking part, now it is continuously shown that the whole
affair has been some kind of mafia reminding execution commando. This
having been in agreement with the Pakistani government is denied decisively
by the Pakistani side and the US government themselves declare without
shame that they had made informed these about their plan not considering
their agreement. Thus it is very clear that this is a violation of
the sovereignty of Pakistan. This is very obvious and carries a demonstrative
character in consideration of the US government being able to afford,
any time and when they want, in other countries not caring about sovereign
or not, not consideration agreement of the relevant government, to
carry out such executions. And this a very severe issue. Whatever
might support to eliminate this person in this concrete case, it would
have been better surely to get him to court. Well, this might have
been disadvantageous under some circumstances, namely those that the
person might have talked and might have uncovered facts to what extent
the US secret services up to the government are involved in this matter
of Nine-eleven. However, in this way it seems they can escape this
point for the moment. Of
course, you can understand the relatives of those people having been
killed at the attack of the 11th September 2001. There is no doubt.
Notwithstanding, we have to say: this
method is not right. And it is neither right that the government
of a super power executes self-justice. This is no principle you can
tolerate. And secret services do not simply do this clandestinely,
but it happens frankly and is not only justified fully by the highest
representative of this super power, the USA, but is even supervised
demonstratively in a public video conference. The photos about it
published in many newspapers tell their own tale. Where
is this to lead? Is self-justice to be carried out all over the world
in the future? Also in the case of Gaddafi and other head of states
or representatives? Even if some people have not committed so many
crimes yet maybe, this does not work. That is no principle. What
happens to a single person, for example, whose relative has been murdered
and who ventures to use this principle, any common civilian, who takes
this liberty? He will go to court himself and will have to justify
himself there and maybe will be suited for homicide under extenuating
circumstances. So-called
"Justice has been done". This might be the case if the relevant
had been brought to trial of the USA and been sentenced to death.
Yet, not in this case. Here we have an act of a jungle principle having
been set on stage openly before the whole world under the motto "Yes
we can". One has to put a stop to this. Namely before any further
actions of this kind occur. In
this particular case the organs of UNO might really be addressed to
take according measures. And it is absolutely right that this also
applies to the Gaddafi family. Such practices, especially if they
are paraded openly and justified, have to be stopped immediately.
In a certain sense Obama in doing this even tops the policy of Bush.
Why
no trial? Even
the Nazi mass murderers (or at least many of them) have been made
a trial that was at the end the death sentence and its
execution. What would have the public at that time said that when
here people had acted with the same methodology as the present government
of the USA? At that time there were undoubtedly millions of families
of the countless people murdered by the Nazis, and might probably
have mustered a certain degree of understanding. It would have
at the time alleged representatives of freedom and democracy badly
stood face to act as criticised above. Finally, then one might ask
whether those "judges" may not be so much different in nature
to the Nazis. What
then opposed, however, to provide that person, for example, in the
U.S. court? He might have been condemned to death. In the U.S., the
death penalty exists and I can not even say that that would not have
been justified, provided the debt is clearly demonstrated. It may
be that some people think that this is long since shown by the observations
that have been given by this man, but that is not enough. An important
reason why this has not happened is certainly the one that a process
always involves the danger maybe to be uncomfortable to some other
people by bringing things to light that should be considered strictly
confidential. This is an essential, although perhaps not the only
reason why this is happening, apart from the obviously intentional
provocative character the whole thing has considering the way it was
implemented. The
political affiliations. Why do they act like that? It is clear that
certainly a lot of people who are in any way Islamic or sympathise
with such forces, are provoked by that. And that is probably supposed
to happen. What will you at? Is the intention, in effect, that in
the Middle East, where the situation threatens to develop means to
the delight of the U.S. imperialists, once again peoples are chased
against each other? For example, Iran against Saudi Arabia and vice
versa, by using certain differences in religious orientation, and
simultaneously starting such a provocation? This is supported by some
facts. We
must hold in this context, time and again that something has been
necessary in no way because it could have been passed sentence on
an entirely legal manner and in accordance with penalties have enacted
also something that would have satisfied the matter enough. But no,
this one has not been done, so the question is: why? When
you see that the Conservatives do now openly applaud and even claim the whole thing for themselves, while the same
bring in their own brutal methods of torture in the field who had allegedly contributed to the fact that this
person was taken, which is completely absurd, then you know for sure
what it amounts to. The so-called
neo-cons are all the time again on the war, in the Middle East, and
indeed in some contrast to Obama, who behaves as a bit more cautious,
however, this is the fact that the Democrats pursue other plans. To
this end we have already stated on several occasions. The
more painful is that the Federal Chancellor Merkel had to do nothing
more urgent than to pay on the spot this obvious hit squad action
their outright approval, which itself has led to criticism in ranks
of the ruling party and also by other people in this country. That
was done by not a single other government, not even the British, which
is otherwise quite more inclined to make such a thing, or Sarkozy,
who is recently also prone to certain excesses. This has eben been
to much to others what Merkel has uttered there. Hastily she jumped
at this, at best, without looking closely. You really get sick by
so much submissiveness.... The
story, supposedly not having known where this person is located and
only since August of last year - but in other respects an interesting
time - having got information is really more than incredible. The
CIA is involved in Pakistan so deeply that this has become too much
even to Pakistani authorities sometimes. The property, which was shown, shines
not just by stealth. Moreover, it is in close proximity to Pakistan's
military bases, such as an academy. What kind of fairy tales are they
still up to produce? How
is such a something like that to be answered? It can only be answered
when all the forces in the world that are revolutionary and progressive
minded realise what kind of enemy we are dealing with - and this is
of course not only the U.S. government, but everything that is behind,
namely the international financial capital, and in general the whole
system of international exploitation, the reaction at all, and that
this is as it were, in some ways just a fight to the death record
you must undertake. Only the masses of people all over the world can
bring these enemies to case, not some single people who think they
can change the situation by any individual terrorist attacks or otherwise.
This does not work, that benefits only the enemy exactly, that must
be recognised, and is provoked precisely through such actions as have
now been experienced. This is completely unique. They can deny as
often as they want, that speaks its own language and is to do so. Why
does such a measure have no deterrent effect? It cannot have it. Deterrence
is only carried by something that meets the people behind the staging
of such things. Yet, this is avoid in this particular case, and supposed
to obviously. History
does not develop by the killing of individual people. History unfolds
neither by actions of the Mafia, even if it sits in the government.
History unfolds through the masses of the people, by what they do,
how far they are moving forward, that's the right thing. This approach,
however, as has taken place, itself awakes even reactionary instincts. Regardless
of whatever was true about this massacre action and what not, that's
not what matters. The important thing is the demonstration that is
done here by the part of the U.S. imperialists. And they will continue
to do so. They have already announced this. Until they have all cashed
Pakistan and snatched the nuclear weapons, apart from the fact that
this country is of extraordinary importance as a strategic position
towards China and also Russia and India. It
can be observed at all the trend that the current U.S. government
decreasingly treats international law as a benchmark for itself, but
on the contrary, drastic breaks occur. Applying "double standards"
is also observed here. What would the same forces have shouted probably if another country such as Russia, had dealt
like this? You do not need not a lot of imagination. However, one
wonders where their opinion on these actions is left at the moment. The Russian government, which in this context
is usually not exactly of squeamish exercise, in fact, applies remarkable
restraint and barricaded themselves behind more or less critical comments
from Central and South American countries. This is probably speculation
that Pakistan may be inclined due to the actions of the United States
to find support by them in the face of tougher differences to the
previous "power base" USA. Similar messages from Central
and South Asia are already available. The "Al-Qaeda-card"
is played by the various imperialist powers alternately. Before the
invasion of the (then) Soviet superpower in Afghanistan in late 1979/beginning
1980 had it been a concern of the (also
led by the Democratic Party), U.S. Government, by taunts and
support of the Islamists in Afghanistan, to "suggest" the
Soviet Union's invasion (see the Brzezinski interview, 13.6.1997,
on the Internet Statement 2007-88 from Nov. 07 partly translated as
shown), who says that it did not work the other way around today?
In this context also China is a potential prospect. Also in the behaviour against Libya it can
be very well observed. Secretary Clinton suggested recently that accounts
in the USA now "frozen" assets of the Libyan government
should be freed and should be made available for the so called opposition.
That's not for the U.S. government! Others have trumpeted in the same
horn, but a little more reserved. For example, the British government
is more cautious and also the German, the foreign minister has explained
that the disposition of those assets alone is for the Libyan people
and not abroad, as he put it. It is really the principle of jungle,
which has been shown all over the brutality of this bin Laden execution,
which obviously seems to be continued in other areas. This is a blatant
undermining at all between state law taking place here. And it is
clear that this has to be stopped absolutely.
This
trend must be fought. It is out of question that this continues to
prevail here because this is the path that the U.S. imperialists late
last year set out in its new military design, namely to let it come
to wars between different states, even larger ones out of which they
themselves hope to extricate from their own problems to pull at the
end but again the profit and save the system as a whole. The chances
are however not the best. To
ask again explicitly clear here: Our organisation is an outspoken
opponent of any kind of so-called suicide bombings or other actions
based on kamikaze because of the mass hostile character directed against
the masses. We have documented that in many statements in the past
and we continue to base ourselves on that.
What happens here on the part of the U.S. government is something
else though. This is also directed against the masses, and in a very
blatant way. What is to be effected by this type of approach? Is it
to actually decrease the attacks?
That will surely not do so. On the contrary, these types of actions
are more suited to provoke people so much that something will happen
just again. Especially since both the present as well as especially the previous US administration under
Bush in a number of points themselves exposed to suspicion to be also
behind these acts, including Nine-Eleven, to have at least encouraged
them. A number of authors have dealt with this issue and raised a
whole series of questions that are still not answered. (See also our
related Internet statements, so in 2001, IS 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, or
2002-03, 2003-05, 2004-22, 2002-69, 2005-07, 2007-88, 2008 - 50, 2010-14) It
is quite a popular method to play off the rival Islamist card against
the contrahent and competitor. We can observe that quite well in the
temporal positioning of most attacks. Namely, they always have a political
purpose. It can be argued that in this case the inner structure of
the enemy was again penetrated and here and there the pressure on
the current U.S. government has been reinforced, as was to be already
observed in the case of Libya. By the way, that Libya is such a focal
point in the Middle East, such a target where certain forces said
they would absolutely have to be active there, is not least because
there has developed in recent years in the nuclear field some co-operation
with Pakistan and also avowedly scientific material has gone back
and forth, or transmitted, having offset the U.S. and possibly other
powers in turmoil. The true sovereignty of Pakistan, or what is left
of it, if at all, shows among other things in this drastic action by
the United States. The
U.S. give as a reason for its action in particular that they could have been sure of Pakistani authorities
up to the military and in particular of Pakistan's ISI any more. The
latter has perhaps been sold elsewhere since long? This is quite possible
and not just since yesterday. There are enough candidates for a new
mentorship, especially as in Pakistan ever more representatives of
the ruling class are not particularly happy
with the close link to Islamic forces and want to get away
from it. As Pakistan is economically weak, however, and is dominated
by forces strongly exploding within the population, the possibilities
on their own to accomplish a detachment are limited. Applications
of other foreign powers in this direction would not be hopeless from
the outset, quite to the contrary. One should remember in this connection
that about three years ago, in late 2007, there was an effort in Pakistan
to achieve a different government at least formally more open to non-Islamist
and more democratic developments, which failed as the only candidate
in this direction, Benazir Bhutto, shortly before the elections fell
victim to an attack, where probably Islamist forces up into government
circles had their fingers in the game. It would therefore be also
currently by no means improbable, and quite attractive to foreign
intelligence agencies that are interested in a solution of the country
from the clutches of the United States to ally themselves with just
these Islamist forces to put the United States over on this
in due course, especially to prevent a development, as happens
now in the Middle East in this part of the world if possible. (Translation
