This week Indymedia presents Testimonies From Falluja. One of the guiding priciples of Indymedia is to have the people tell their own stories, to speak for themselves. This video is an outstanding example of this concept. The piece was made in the war zone, by Iraqi videographers shortly after the second US siege of Falluja. Directed by Dr. Hamodi Jasim, with an independent Iraqi crew, the video cut through the baloney to bring out the true situation on the ground. At the time, the US was suppressing information about what had happened in Falluja, and this video played an important role in letting people around the world know of the horror imposed on the citizens of that unlucky city. Dahr Jamail, independent US journalist, who was in Iraq when this piece was made, provides the narration. When we originally showed this piece on Indymedia Presents #136, it was the first time the video had been shown on American TV. Dahr brought the piece out of Iraq as a video CD. The PepperSpray Collective converted the VCD to DVD and began US distribution. For those concerned with how the war in Afghanistan is going, watchin g this video about Iraqis quite instructive, since it seems like much of the same thing all over again. For more info about this video, contact the PepperSpray collective: PepperSpray@riseup.net.

  • la 7awla wa la quwwata illa billa

  • Silverstein turned a 140 million insider deal for the WTC into a 30 billion dollar claim!

    Destroying WTC enabled the cover up theft of gold bullion & destroys illegal financial transaction records performed just prior to the attacks

    FCC had all records on criminals like Paulson, Geithner, Ruben, Summers etc engaging in that illegal activity: The records of those illegal trades were destroyed when WTC 7 was brought down by thermite on 9/11!

  • Rabbi Dov Zakheim Co-author of the PNAC paper on rebuilding Americas defenses advocating the necessity of a Pearl Harbor-like incident to mobilize America. Served as Pentagon comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. Two large sums of money disappeared from the Pentagon under him: $2.3 trillion was reported (September 10, 2001) & later Zakheim was unable to account for another trillion dollars; & sold squads of American F-15s and F-16s to Israel at a fraction of their value

  • 911 was a public snuff film used to shock the public and enact the end of the Bill of Rights & invasion of oil bearing countries, & make money for private companies like Halliburton, (stock from 10 to 50 a share)!

    By destroying the WTC, they were able to cover up theft of gold bullion & destroy illegal financial transaction records performed just prior to the attacks

    Silverstein spends 140 million to make 7 billion almost over night; Silverstein said it was demolished by explosives, (pull it

  • The worlds best hope is that the USA collapses!

    Longest period of time the USA has gone without bombing someone: 2 years

    How many innocent millions have died due to Americas Deep Government, Economic Hit men, Jackals, armies, or economic sanctions?

    How many countries have been forced to kowtow to Americas demands & extortion?

    How much good business never got started because the US Gov protects the Oligarchs of Banking & Industry?

    America finally dying is the best thing for this century!
