    On June 15, AP reported that “Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a four-star American general with a long history in special operations, took charge of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan (today), a change in command the Pentagon hopes will turn the tide in an increasingly violent eight-year war.”

    One person involved called Operation Phoenix a “depersonalized murder program” to remove opposition and terrorize the population into submission.

    McChrystal is a hired gun, an assassin, a man known for committing war crime atrocities as head of the Pentagon’s infamous Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) – established in 1980 and comprised of the Army’s Delta Force and Navy Seals, de facto death squads writer Seymour Hersh described post-9/11 as an “executive assassination wing” operating out of Dick Cheney’s office.

    A 2006 Newsweek profile called JSOC “part of what Vice President Dick Cheney was referring to when he said America would have to ‘work on the dark side’ after 9/11.” It called McChrystal then “an affable but tough Army Ranger” with no elaboration of his “dark side” mission.

    In his May 17 article titled “Obama’s Animal Farm: Bigger, Bloodier Wars Equal Peace and Justice,” James Petras called him a “notorious psychopath” in describing him this way:

    His rise through the ranks was “marked by his central role in directing special operations teams engaged in extrajudicial assassinations, systematic torture, bombing of civilian communities and search and destroy missions. He is the very embodiment of the brutality and gore that accompanies military-driven empire building.”

    His resume shows contempt for human life and the rule of law – a depravity Conrad described in his classic work, “Heart of Darkness:” the notion of “exterminat(ing) all the brutes” to civilize them, and removing lesser people to colonize and dominate them by devising battle plans amounting to genocide.

    In June 2001, McChrystal became Chief of Staff, XVIII Airborne Corp. After the Afghanistan invasion, he was appointed Chief of Staff, Combined Joint Task Force 180, Operation Enduring Freedom. In September 2003, he was Commanding General, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). In February 2006, he became Commander, Joint Special Operations – Command/Commander, Joint Special Operations Command Forward, United States Special Operations, then in August 2008 General Director, the Joint Staff until his current appointment as US/NATO Afghanistan commander.

    Detailed information of his role in these capacities is classified and unacknowledged, but Human Rights Watch (HRW) revealed some of what he directed in its July 22, 2006 report titled “No Blood, No Foul” – meaning short of drawing blood, all abuses were acceptable and wouldn’t result in investigations or prosecution.

    HRW reported soldiers’ firsthand accounts of detainee abuse by Task Force 20/121/6-26/145 at Baghdad’s Camp Nama (an acronym for Nasty-Ass Military Area) and elsewhere in Iraq.

    JSOC’s assignment was (and still is) to capture or kill “high-value” combatants, including Saddam Hussein, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, and many hundreds of Iraqis targeted in sweeping capture and extermination missions that include lots of collateral killings and destruction.

    Through most of 2003 and 2004, detainees were held at interrogation facilities like Camp Nama at Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). With good reason, it was off-limits to the ICRC and most US military personnel. In summer 2004, it was moved to a new location near Balad and also had facilities in Fallujah, Ramadi and Kirkuk.

    US personnel and former detainees reported torture and abuse as common practice, including beatings, confinement in shipping containers for 24 hours in extreme heat, exposure to extreme cold, death threats, humiliation, psychological stress, and much more.

    Sergeant Jeff Perry (a pseudonym he requested to avoid recrimination) was a Camp Nama special interrogator during the first half of 2004. He said task force members were military special forces and CIA personnel, none of whom revealed ranks or last names to maintain secrecy.

    Five interrogation rooms were used, the harshest called the “black room” where everything was black with speakers in the corners and on the ceiling. A table and chairs were in one corner for a boom box and computer.

    Detainees were stripped naked and subjected to stress standing, sleep deprivation, loud noise, strobe lights, beatings, dousing with cold water, and other abuses.

    Harshness levels were less severe in other rooms, the “soft room” being least extreme and used for cooperating detainees. However, throughout interrogations, they were shifted from one room to another, but those put in the “black room” were considered the most high-value.

    Treatment authorization in writing or by computer came from the camp’s command structure – signed by “whoever was in charge at the time” reporting to McChrystal or one of his subordinates.

    Sergeant Perry saw him visit Camp Nama several times, and said its commanding officer told interrogators that the White House or Donald Rumsfeld were briefed on the information they obtained. He also learned that the facility was “completely closed off” and secret, and that ICRC, other investigators, and the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command (CID) were forbidden access to it.

    In March 2006, The New York Times published a feature article based on interviews with over a dozen US personnel who served at Camp Nama or were familiar with its operations. Their accounts corroborated Perry’s and included details of other abuses. Much of the same information came out about torture at Guantanamo and other overseas US prisons, including Camp Cropper, Iraq (near Baghdad Airport) now expanded to hold up to 2000 detainees.

    HRW reviewed hundreds of “credible allegations of serious mistreatment and torture (as) standard operation procedure” at locations throughout Iraq involving special forces, CIA, and others. Its report is based on firsthand accounts from three locations between 2003 – 2005 when McChrystal was in charge of Special Ops.

    On March 31, 2009 on Democracy Now, Seymour Hersh said US forces conducted assassinations in a dozen or more countries, including in Latin and Central America. “And it’s been going on and on and on,” he said. George Bush “authorized these kinds of actions in the Middle East” and elsewhere….” Now Obama’s doing the same thing.

    “And the idea that the American president would think he has the constitutional power or the legal right to tell soldiers….to go out and find people based on lists and execute them is just amazing to me….”

    During his tenure, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld gave the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) authority to carry out killings anywhere on the globe. Hersh said “it operates out of Florida, and it involves a lot of wings.” One is “the Joint Special Op – JSOC. It’s a special (Navy Seals and Delta Force) unit….black units, the commando units….And they promote from within. It’s a unit that has its own promotion structure. And one of the elements….about getting ahead….is the number of kills you have,” especially high-value targets. Cheney was deeply involved. Robert Gates likely is now.

    Targeting goes on in a lot of countries besides Iraq and Afghanistan, including Colombia, Eritrea, Madagascar, Kenya, or anywhere to “kill people who are believed….to be Al Qaeda….Al Qaeda-linked or anti-American” – fictitious outside enemies without which Obama’s wars can’t continue nor could they under George Bush..

    In his book “America’s War on Terrorism,” Michel Chossudovsky uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda was a CIA creation from the Soviet-Afghan 1980s war, and in the 1990s Washington “consciously supported Osama bin Laden, while at the same time placing him on the FBI’s ‘most wanted list’ as the World’s foremost terrorist.”

    He remains so today, even though David Ray Griffin’s new book (”Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?”) provides convincing evidence that he died in late 2001, a conclusion many US counterterrorism experts support and believe his conveniently timed video messages are fakes.

    Capturing or Killing Bin Laden

    In a January 2009 CBS television interview, Obama suggested that he’s dead by saying “whether he is technically alive or not, he is so pinned down that he cannot function. My preference (is) to capture of kill him. But if we have so tightened the noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives, then we will meet our goal of protecting America.”

    Nonetheless, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs responded to the latest purported bin Laden statement that it’s “consistent with messages we’ve seen in the past from al Qaeda threatening the US and other countries that are involved in counterterrorism efforts.”

    So it’s no surprise that top administration orders reach field commanders like McChrystal to capture or kill the usual suspects. From known reports about him, he carries them out with relish.

    The Obama administration gave him carte blanche authority to choose his staff for their assigned mission – expand the Af-Pak war with more troops, funding, stepped up counterinsurgency, targeted killings, and secret drone and other attacks against any targets he chooses in either country. He’ll also have more political control, possibly with a Washington-appointed civilian authority to run the Afghanistan government day to day, making Hamid Karzai more of a figurehead than currently.

    Obama’s war aims to pacify the country and Afghan/Pakistan border areas through scorched earth terror, targeted assassinations, and as much mass killing as it takes to prevail. McChrystal has the job, a man one observer said “comes from a world where killing by any means is the norm and a blanket of government secrecy provides the necessary protection.” All the greater with Obama’s endorsement.

    Former 82nd Airborne Division commander General David Rodriquez, Defense Secretary Gates’ top military aide, will be his deputy. Gates praised McChrystal for his “unique skill set in counterinsurgency” and said the mission of both men and their team “requires new thinking and new approaches by our military leaders.” Clearly implied are the Special Ops skills they possess in what an unnamed Defense Department official called “unconventional warfare….to track and kill insurgents.”

    These tactics kill many hundreds, displace hundreds of thousands, and enrage civilians on both sides of the Af-Pak border. Yet pursuing them is Obama’s top war strategy priority that may include Iraq as violence there heats up.

    Operation Phoenix

    From 1968 – 1973, the CIA ran or was involved in the Phoenix Program with US Special Forces and its own Military Assistance Command Vietnam-Special Operations Group (MACV-SOG) involving covert missions to crush the National Liberation Front (NLF resistance called the Viet Cong or VC). One person involved called the operation a “depersonalized murder program” to remove opposition and terrorize the population into submission.

    In 1975, Counterspy magazine said it was “the most indiscriminate and massive program of political murder since the Nazi death camps of world war two.” It even targeted certain US military personnel considered security risks and members of the South Vietnamese government.

    In simple terms, the program conducted mass killings and seizures of suspected NLF members and collaborators with special emphasis on high-value targets – by some estimates around 80,000 or more before it ended.

    Wayne Cooper was a Foreign Service officer at the time. He spent 18 months in Vietnam, most of it as a Phoenix advisor at Cantho in the Mekong Delta. He called the operation a “disreputable, CIA-inspired effort, often deplored as a bloody-handed assassination program (and) a failure.”

    In the mid-1960s, it began as a CIA “Counter Terror (CT) program “never recognized by the South Vietnamese government.” It “recruited, organized, supplied and directly paid CT teams whose function was to use Vietcong techniques, kidnappings and intimidation – against the Vietcong leadership.”

    By 1968, the program was expanded and called Intelligence Coordination and Exploitation (ICEX), then Phoenix. From General William Westmoreland and “Ambassador-for-pacification Robert Komer” on down, “neutralizing” the VC was top priority.

    Westmoreland took charge. A Civil Operations and Rural Development Support (CORDS) organization was established, under which Phoenix was run. Cooper cited numerous problems for its failure and criticized experts sifting through them to get it right next time. He called the program a “gimmick” unable to “compensate for South Vietnam’s” popular opposition to the war and concluded that no counterinsurgency can succeed under those circumstances.

    Certainly not in Afghanistan and Iraq, two countries historically opposed to foreign occupations with a record of brave resistance to end them. They represent what the CIA called Vietnam during that earlier era – “the grand illusion of the American cause;” the latest Washington misadventures no matter how long they go on, whatever amounts are spent on them, or how much mass killing and destruction persist under any command. America hasn’t won a war (or fought a legal one) since WW II, something Obama might consider as he plans his next move.

      Its only a word man, it only has the meaning YOU give to it. So if youre threatened by the use of a certain word, thats your problem not mine. I just happen to have enough respect for uptight people not to offend them. Why cant you quit being so sensitive and get some thicker skin? how do you keep a level head if some ignorant fnck uses that term around you in a derogatory way?

      Im not threatened by being called a “honkey” or “cracka”, I chose not to give those words any power. why cant you do the same to?

      Yeah, the system is still fncked up and racist but why are we choosing to give obscenities so much power over us?

      Maybe Im missing somethin, Im not black and Im not You so I dont know your reason for being offended by “N”er. So if ya read this please enlighten me, Id like to hear your perspective.

      All this talk about fighting the NWO is useless when you are controlled by the same spirit as they are. Jesus got angry w/o sinning. Many of you are so densensitized that you don’t even know that you are serving the devil. You think you’re “awake” when you’re dead in your trespasses and sins. Alex knows this. You can’t fight the devil when you are his slave. You can justify your disobedience to God all day long but it won’t change the fact that you are a slave of Satan. Alex claims to be a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. As a disciple of Christ he knows that foul language is in opposition to the Spirit of God. As a brother in Christ I have ASKED Alex to PLEASE refrain from language that is grieving to God. Unfortunately, many of you slaves think you’re grown ups because you can handle that which God hates.

      It lowers your ability to communicate effectivley when you want to reach as many people as possible, and it is disrespectful- you need to understand that this is the language of Satan, for there is power in words and Satan knows that more than you, a word can chage the tide of things and has.
      If I am turned off by your language, then I close myself off to you, I shouldn’t have to listen to foul language and I am just as much man and just as much of a fighter as any one else here, maybe more.
      I’m not saying “stop listening to Alex because he forgot himself for a moment”, get real.
      I’m saying when you welcome this behavior as OK or a way to motivate you, then you will later accept any negative behavior which the NWO has been laying down little by little.

      Good advice, Old Man. In fact, just today Alex kicked a young male caller off the air after the caller employed some foul language, stating that was not the kind of language he wants on his airwave. Alex does his best to keep a clean tongue despite his passion for the subjects he discusses. Though we might all let an expletive loose once in awhile, it’s a habit best avoided if our goal is persuasive communication with the public at large.

      Alex doesn’t curse on air, he gets upset and emotional sometimes which everyone should be. if you never get mad and curse the things that are happening in this country then you are clearly still asleep and have no idea the extent of the corruption. in other words, if you’re not passionate, maybe this isn’t the site for you.

      Never understood why curse words were even considered bad… I just don’t f---in get it.

      Solution Man Reply:

      I think most people consider cursing more uncivil then bad. It makes the person sound like a total doche bag, some kind of immature punk kid. So people choose to make there points without cursing to restore some creditability to there comments.

      Wrong, there is no substitute for a well placed F-Bomb. The word ’s---’ isnt even considered a cuss word among many Christians. Its all about the context in with you speak.

      The people Jones talks about are dirt bag criminals, thieves, tyrants and murderers. Let’s not worry so much about their ‘feelings’. Im pretty sure they are used to getting called names.

      I swear, some people are so friggin pathetic in this country. Why did this even become a issue? Shut the f--- up.

      agreed but do not confuse passion with disrespect or losing yourself.
      I don’t have to lower myself to vile language to show how passionate I am.
      Hey, it happens, no one is perfect
      but whats wrong with saying oops sorry, or “forgive me I lost myself”.
      Would you use that kind of language around your mother or mine without at least saying ” oh, pardon me ladies”?

      These luciferian globalist devils are just mass exterminators and great assasins of the devil !! And every soul that they murder and kill; God will require it upon them which means that they wind up in the lower parts of hell on the great Judgment Day which they think doesn’t exist !! But how wrong they are and their agonies and tormentings will be of the most severest kind !! They have no idea of the pain and suffering that they will have to endure for all of eternity!! But until then; we must keep warning our nation not to give up their guns and automatic weapons and their bazookas (I hope that many of you have these) along with rocket launchers and whatever you can get your hands on to defend America from a foreign invasion which I think will occur in the next 3 to 5 years!! God doesn’t mind us fighting foreign invaders!! But if we have a civil war (and I am actually against this) the Russians and the Chinese will take it as an opportune time to attack us !! And then we will be fighting our own government (which I am against) and the Russians and the Chinese also!!

      But then too; I believe that the new world order antichrist globalist want a civil war and then a world war 3 to bring about a great reduction of population plus a more controlled new world antichrist order!! Yes!! I believe that they would love it !! And even though they will martyr those of us who won’t take their zombie making Mark of the Beast Chip; we will return with Jesus and His Holy Angelic Armies; and wipe them all out and bring their spiritual man to our Almighty Fathers Great White Throne Judgment where their judgments will be detailed to the minute degree; and then the lake of fire and brimstone will feed upon them forever and ever and ever!!!

      I am so sick and tired of listening to this pompous man go on and on about how he’s saving the world. All in the name of a god who doesn’t give two squirts about this planet or any of us as far as I can tell. Seriously folks, quit living your lives based on a book full of fairy tales.

      It’s time to pass the baton, alex.

      Casual Infowars Reader Reply:

      Wll I don’t know about Alex Jones. But here’s what I know.

      John 3:16-17
      “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
      For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.”

      The reason things are the way the are on this planet is because of the choices that humans make in everyday life. God has given us free will, we can come to Him if we want to, or stay away and walk our own path. THis is why the world is what it is today, because man has turned away from God and went on his own way. We reap what we sow.

      Listen, maybe you do not believe. But I want you to know that God is real and He loves us all. We are at where we are becasue of our own mistakes. The only way to the father is Christ. Try to give the word of God (bible) a try. Read it and ask God to show you the way. But do it humbly and not full of arrogance. If God speaks to your heart you will feel it and know it. God is true to his word, he will reveal himself to you if you want it and search for him. He never pushes something unto you, the choice is yours.

      If anyone sincerily gives it a try and it doesn;t work. Can always email me at eklaista@hotmail.com, and I will have to explain myself. Becasue God the loving father can be found, and there is no reasn why he would not reveal himself to you if you really go for it the right way.

      If you ever read a bible, make sure its an normal translation. Not the one ROman Catholics or Jehovah witnesses use. They modify things in the book based on their beliefs. WHile Timothy 3:16 clearly states that :

      2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”

      Thank you.

      Gee… I wonder what David Icke’s take on this is?
      I can’t wait till Alex has “The Great David Icke” on again (as Alex calls the Lizard Douche, Mr. Whack-Job Shape-Shifting Lizard F***wad BS-artist Icke) I expect to hear the sex-slave victims of the Illuminati like Cathy O’Brien and the other one featured on Infowars and the Alex Jones radio show soon, along with those who literally wear tinfoil under hats to thwart the gubmint mind control. Personally, I’d find Alex more credible if he was on the cover of the tabloid ‘Weekly World News’ next to their latest ‘Bat Boy’ picture. That would

      I also hope to hear Alex on that great radio show ‘Coast To Coast AM’ again soon so he can once again attempt to get the Aliens/uFOOLogy/chupacabra/Remote Viewing/time travel/ghosts etc. believers to understand and care about the New World Order. –HHAAA!!

      Tell me more Alex, about why I should care about phony gatekeeper Michael Savage and his trouble in going back to England, and why I should listen to you when you waste my time and yours with anti-truth scum gatekeepers and bull$hitters like Icke and Savage and George Norey and Alan Colmes etc.??!?

      Nope, I can no longer tell others to go to infowars.com etc. as I have for years, since Alex no longer cares about having any credibility and will treat Satan’s BS artists like Icke as ‘Great’, and an ‘expert’ on just about anything, someone we should listen to.

      All this talk about fighting the NWO is useless when you are controlled by the same spirit as they are. Jesus got angry w/o sinning. Many of you are so densensitized that you don’t even know that you are serving the devil. You think you’re “awake” when you’re dead in your trespasses and sins. Alex knows this. You can’t fight the devil when you are his slave. You can justify your disobedience to God all day long but it won’t change the fact that you are a slave of Satan. Alex claims to be a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. As a disciple of Christ he knows that foul language is in opposition to the Spirit of God. As a brother in Christ I have ASKED Alex to PLEASE refrain from language that is grieving to God. Unfortunately, many of you slaves think you’re grown ups because you can handle that which God hates.

    29. BobStrebs Says:

      Thank you, Alex Jones and Team, for a first rate investigative work!
      America NEEDs TO KNOW the character of the people leading our military, as well as our government.

      As with abortion, once a person understands both sides of the issue, a conscious decision can be made of whether to invest one’s soul into a culture of death or into a culture of life.
      I cannot consciously invest my soul into the culture of death by supporting a mission the nature of which is defined by a psychopath at its head.

      If he and the troops who murder under him stand for the USA, then it is not the American military I served in, nor is it the same America I served to defend. This new Global, 21st Century USA is nothing more than an old Roman Empire, or a Third Reich, in a new “amerikan” cloak.

      American Patriotism remains defined by the character of the people who defend it. And the character of the person is defined by his or her actions, and how these actions measure up to what is considered “the right thing to do” in the heart of an individual.

      I have chosen against being a part of the tortuous, murderous, empire-building, military oriented, death culture that we now epitomize as a global nation-state. Am I a pacifist? Well, when the time comes, I do believe I already know what the right thing to do will be.

      Just think about this! If you can control your fear, then you can control your mind. And if you can control your mind, then you can control your life. Just a little bit of inspiration. Don’t let fear dictate your actions in life and defiantly don’t let it hold you back from fighting for truth.

      Like most people we all have a natural fear of worrying about what other people think. If we constantly worry about whether our ways, actions, and beliefs will be accepted by society, then you are letting society and your fear control and dictate your actions. We know that as truth seekers and infowarriors that the majority of society think we are just crazy for believing 9/11 was an inside job. But if we let fear and society get the better of us then how will we ever be able to stand up and fight for what we believe in? How will we ever get the courage to place that infowars.com 9/11 was an inside job bumper sticker on our car, how will we ever have the courage to hold up that banner and protest in the streets? How will we ever have the courage to burn those DVDs and hand them out? and how will we ever be able to confront and influence our political leaders into investigating the truth about 9/11 and government corruption for themselves.

      Stand up and have courage! If we have confidence and courage, and Put our selves outside of our comfort zone we will see what every human being is capable of doing. Don’t let your mind be your prison.

      The problem is that its all a big game Waziristan could not be controlled during the English raj and the Pakistani army will find it difficult even though I have family in the army i actually want them to lose as they are the puppets of the US Globalists.
      Recently I was speaking to my cousin who conveyed a report from the frontline in swat province .
      A local milkman who was delivering milk at a army based was told by no means to go to the base before 7am, however after a few weeks the milkman who finished his earlier deliveries sooner then he thought arrived one hour earlier then had been agreed .
      To his amazements he saw a cloth line full off false beards waiting to dry. When army personal caught the milkmen, witnessing the beards drying he was shouted at and beaten to a pulp and told if he ever convey what he had seen then he would be killed.
      This incident further highlights how the army is waging a dirty war by committing atrocities so as to justify its heavy hand ie Using numerous black flag attracts.
      I would like to mention that in Islam we are encouraged to have a lifestyle of the prophets and we believe every prophet of god had a full beard and its for this reason Muslims have beards
      Although it has been demonized in the west in the swat region of Pakistan it is a normal practice unlike the other regions o0f Pakistan.

Cool.” Never mind the circumstances or details of the death of the soldier or the meaning of that individuals life. What was the meaning of the American individual’s life? Oh yes. We are the world’s shoppers. But wait! Currently we are tapped out. Does that mean we have no meaning? Wait! The banksters are getting more cash for us. Problem solved. We have meaning again.
