ugnet_: CNN AND FOX LIED ABOUT SAMMARA MASSACRE
CNN And
Fox Lied About Sammara MassacreCommentary by
Moshe Ben Gurion
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tel Aviv, Israel12-1-3
Shalom Mr. Rense,
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
I do not understand how the American news media is
lying over and over again.
Yesterday, Reuters correspondent interviewed locals in
Sammara Iraq, who said that the Americans came and massacre civilians in
the streets. This was 'expected' by the frustrated American military,
since the Iraqi freedom fighters (whom the Americans conveniently call
'terrorists'), killed seven Spanish spies and two Japanese spies the day
before.
Later, CNN came with a new fabricated story about
killing 54 Fidayeen Iraqi soldiers. CNN exaggeration continue unabated
in describing the 'black uniforms' of the Iraqis, in order to create the
impression that the Americans killed a real fighters and not just
massacred civilians in the middle of the streets as Reuters reported.
The American commander (self proclaimed hero), continued his fables by
describing how an American tank blew up a building with all the 54 black
dressed 'terrorists' inside. REAL AMERICAN HERO! This totally
contradicted CNN previous report that a whole caravan was attacked from
different directions, AND NOT from just one building!
Al Jazeera exposed the Pentagon lies as a simple
military bloodbath of civilians ('Mai Lay' all over again):
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/56EE3BDE-1510-4F73-9D74-C820DF8FFD67.htm
This al Jazeera report agrees with the initial Reuters
report!
I just heard a few minutes ago an interview with the
Iraqi manager of the Hospital in Sammara and he said that he is aware of
ONLY EIGHT civilians killed. this support the INITIAL report by Reuters,
that the Americans entered the town and massacre its citizens in the
streets.
The present Holocaust that the Americans are
inflicting on the Iraqi people will fail, just as our Holocaust of the
Palestinian people is failing...BIG TIME!
CNN has upgraded the propaganda to a new level, when
the American commander at this 'news' conference, stood in front of a
movie stage, with a 'tank' behind him on the screen. The whole 'news
conference' was staged as a spectacular Hollywood production, to create
the impression that he is 'Patten'.
CNN manipulations is an insult to our common sense. In
the latest 'news' version that CNN wants us to believe, the Iraqi
'terrorists' knew that the Americans were carrying cash. OH YES? the
Iraqi peasants has now infiltrated the American top command and knew all
American movements? GIVE ME A BREAK !
American 'news' media is so corrupt, it is beyond
repair, IT IS NOW A DANGER TO AMERICA (not 'bin Laden').
When NO 54 bodies of black dressed Iraqis Fidayeen
were found, the American commander commented that maybe someone took
them! OH YES?
EXCUSE ME ! how did the American commander knew that
there were 54 bodies, if no one has seen them?
Do the Americans expect us to believe that the
'terrorists' who seem to be smart, will exposed themselves to the
Americans in Black uniforms? American military propaganda is VERY
childish compared with the Nazi propaganda.
As I am typing this email to you, I can hear on the
radio that the American commander started to withdraw his story. The
situation is so reniculus, we can never trust what the American military
are saying in Iraq anymore. Americas credibility worldwide is at its
lowest level in history. I just received an email from a business
partner in China. He said that the Chinese are watching, and since the
Americans are totally out of control with their web of lies, WW3
possibility is now discussed very often in china. He said most Chinese
believe that the USA and Israel are behind 911.
Mr. Rense, please encourage your readers to listen
VERY CAREFULLY to the initial reports of any event they hear on the
'news', IT IS ALL FABRICATED to the max. This 'production' by CNN have
elevated 'journalism' to the level of Ben Hur. It is now practically
impossible for the average person to find out the truth. We in Israel
already lost our freedom to Sharon and the NWO, if you Americans want to
preserve whatever left you have of your freedom, CNN should be
prosecuted for this 'performance' . I did not watch Fox-News this time,

ugnet_: The Media, State Ignorant Peasants
http://www.idr.co.ug/dfwa-u/Nymapp/justice.htm Priests, prophets & the peasant congregation Many mass media critics have decried the age of mass mediated imagery as the age of stardom, of celebrity as the new idol worship. Clearly, Benjamin's analysis of the Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction resonates with the emphasis on star "aura." However, the situation, I believe has moved beyond a simple worship of celebrity - as neil Gabler points out in Life: The Movie it is all about entertainment, of which celebrity is only one part of the total marketing formula. I have termed this the rise of marketing culture where the only important things left are to: 1) attract attention, 2) brand identification, and 3) hold attention. I work with my students to point out how this leads to "public relations thinking" as opposed to "critical democratic thinking." Everything is subjected to cluster analysis and niche marketing - ideas, values, experiences, cemented with images and sound are dissociated and recombined to encourage subject identification and increas brand recognition. There is a cognitive price to be paid in all of this. In other words, ideas are only celebrated for how they can accomplish these three basic business points. It is all simply about making money. All other ideas will remain marginalzied and or assimilated. I am reminded of Adorno's warning that there will come a time when the bourgeoise will rejoice in the pleasure of their own self-destruction, a product of their absolute alienation from human values, and latent sado-masochistic tendancies. From this point of view one can see the extremes of contemporary religious movements as a viseral understanding of this phenomena, a backward reaction to the forces of contemporary capitalism even while they practice the same techniques as corporate marketeers. I still hold out hope that art, the art world can provide some relief from this crap, even if only a marginal relief. Lakoff's moral politics, the connection of cognitive styles of rhetoric to self, is one area which needs much further development on the Left. This could go a long way in at least providing an understanding of the change in cognitive processes brought out by contemporary mediated marketing imagery. When you have a society such as ours (the US) experiencing increasing income and wealth polarization, with alienated jobs, cutbacks in health care, and job outsourcing - the collapse of critical democratic reason into mere entertainment spells a possible period of violent unrest as people play out their three learned forms of marketing culture. Baudrillard's thesis of a society moving from a society of the spectacle to one of simulation is not exactly correct. We moved way beyond simulation in the 1980s. Both spectacle and simulation presumed a "real" world which could be refused, accepted, struggled over, etc. The tendancies, and noticed I said tendancy, not fate, however, are to abolish the very capacity to reason critically which would make such understandings obvious. The movement is no longer to one of simulation. It is now to annihiliation - the elimination of thought and feeling - the pleasure of such a culture comes in its ability to produce numbness - the promise of immortality. Perhaps this depressing analysis sounds a bit overwrought. If so please give me a reason why I should think otherwise.

ugnet_: Look marital rape in the face,see Aids
Look marital rape in the face, see Aids By Jacqueline Asiimwe-Mwesige Dec 3, 2003 As we celebrate World Aids Day (December 1), I do not want us to lose sight of the fact that this day falls within the 16 days of activism against violence upon women. Indeed, I wish we had used the day to reflect on the connection between violence against women and the HIV/Aids pandemic. Just to remind us, this year the Women's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch released a report titled "Just Die Quietly: Domestic Violence and Women's Vulnerability to HIV in Uganda". The report very ably makes the point that Ugandan women are becoming infected with HIV and will continue to die of Aids unless and until the state starts taking measures to protect them from domestic violence. In Uganda today there is still persistent societal pressure for women to tolerate violence. A wife who reports her husband to the police for beating her faces social stigmatisation for exposing family matters to the public. For many women in Uganda, as in much of the world, violence is not an isolated and aberrant act, but arises from and forms part of the context of their lives. Apart from being subjected to physical, emotional and psychological abuse, many women are victims of marital rape. House Speaker Edward Ssekandi will guide the debate on the Sexual Offences Bill and Domestic Relations BillAs one Ms Sules Kiliesa narrated in the report, "I was commonly the one who was beaten. He would beat me to the point that he was too ashamed to take me to the doctor. He forced me to have sex with him and he beat me if I refused. This went for every wife. Even when he was HIV-positive he still wanted sex. He refused to use a condom. He said he cannot eat sweets with the paper wrapper on." Ms Sarah Kisakye recounts that: "My husband hated condom use. He never allowed it. He would beat me often ... He used to beat me when I refused to have sex with him...He would not use a condom. He said 'when we are man and woman married, how can we use a condom? ... When I knew about his girlfriends, I feared I would get infected with HIV. But he did not listen to me. I tried to insist on using a condom but he refused. So I gave in because I really feared him. Ms Esther Nanono states that "Sometimes I did not want sex but we had sex. He forced me ... I felt there was danger of more force if I did not agree to having sex ... After testing he would force me to have sex without a condom. I do not know why he was opposed to condoms after testing and yet he used them for birth control before. He said 'why bother, we are victims.'" The law in Uganda is silent on the question of marital rape. The general presumption is that once one says 'I do' at marriage, one has consented to sex any time, any place, anyhow. For many, saying 'I do' means you no longer have the right to say 'I do not' to sex. In many instances, men have absolute domination over the terms of sexual relations with their spouses. For many this means that men determine when and whether to have sex as well as whether or not to have protected sex. Where the husband is HIV positive, domination over sexual relations directly threatens women's lives. Moreover, on top of determining sexual relations within the marriage, male infidelity is widely accepted as a given. Many times we here references such as 'abasajya bwebatyo' (men are like that), to excuse men's infidelity. As one woman put it "I still had sex with him even when he had other girlfriends. What do you do? ...There is no negotiation. You know that you must." However, marital rape is a pervasive form of violence against women, which we must acknowledge, face up to and deal with as part of the strategy against HIV/Aids. The only laws that attempt to deal with the issue of marital rape are the Sexual Offences Bill and the Domestic Relations Bill (DRB). Both bills acknowledge the right of both spouses to consortium (sex) but also deal with the issue of marital rape, i.e. sex without the consent of one's spouse. Both the Sexual Offences Bill and the proposed DRB state that a spouse may deny the other spouse the right to sexual intercourse on reasonable grounds which may include, among other things, reasonable fear that engaging in sexual intercourse is likely to cause physical or psychological injury or harm. The fear of contracting HIV/Aids is envisaged here. We need to support the enactment of these bills as one of the ways to deal with HIV/Aids. In enacting these bills into law, we shall be moving away from the rhetorical commitment to women's rights and instead deal squarely with discrimination against women. We must also make domestic violence, of which marital rape is part and parcel, a central component of efforts to reduce women's vulnerability to HIV/Aids under the National Strategic Framework for HIV/Aids Activities: 2000/1 - 2005/6 and other national HIV/Aids programmes.

ugnet_: Congo women split families.(The spoils of War)
Congo women split familiesBy Lucy LapotiDec 3, 2003 GULU - Men here have abandoned their wives for Congolese women. Congolese women followed soldiers to Uganda during the UPDFs last pullout from the DR Congo in May 2003. Ms Margaret Odong, the chairwoman of Grassroots Women for Development, a local NGO said Congolese women have split families and are the reason men here are increasingly beating up their wives. We are now fighting two wars; the one between the Lords Resistance Army rebels and government, and the one between women and men because of the presence of these single Congolese women, she said. Odong was speaking at a three-day workshop on conflict resolution organised by Uganda Media Women Association in Gulu recently. She said men run to the Congolese women, leaving their wives to take care of the children. She said as women go out in search of food, they are sometimes beaten and raped by soldiers and civilians. She cited an incident in Koch Ongako in Omoro County where soldiers raped a woman. She said Congolese women who are snatching men either did not find their husbands when they arrived in Gulu or were simply snubbed by the soldiers. She said men beat their wives for refusing to give them money to buy drinks. Men also beat the women if they cook little food or refuse to have sex with them [men] even when children are still awake. Ms Christine Akumu, the district gender officer, confirmed that her office has registered several cases of men mistreating women. She said her office is working together with Fourth Division spokesman Lt. Paddy Ankunda to solve such problems. If such something involves a soldier, we work through the army PROs office to ensure that the culprits are reached. She said her office is always in touch with [the army] to fight any unlawful acts committed against women by soldiers. But Lt. Ankunda told The Monitor that he has not received any rape case involving a soldier. He said any soldier who commits such a crime would be punished. For the case of Congolese women who do not know where their husbands are, we assist them by calling their husbands to pick them up, he said. Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza denied that soldiers rape women in Gulu. That is a wrong report, there is nothing like that. As a journalist, go to the ground, have a population sample and come out with the figure of women who have been raped by UPDF soldiers, he said. © 2003 The Monitor Publications Download Yahoo!

ugnet_: Commonwealth of 54 hypocrites!
Commonwealth of 54 hypocrites EditorialDec 3, 2003 The US-based rights organisation, Human Rights Watch (HRW), has correctly pointed out that the leaders of the Commonwealth apply double standards in their relationship with member countries. Implicit in their latest report that was released yesterday is the warning that the body's very credibility is at stake if it continues turning a blind eye to abuses in one country while pretending to show grave concern when the same injustices are being meted out in another. Yesterday's announcement specifically singled out Nigeria, which on Friday begins hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit, for scathing criticism. It says this country's government is responsible for killings, torture and harassment of its critics over the last two years. In comments to the BBC, Mr Peter Takirambudde, executive director of HRW's Africa division notes that the attitude of President Olusegun Obasanjo's regime is such that "Nigerians still cannot express themselves freely without fear of grave consequences". The rights group aptly makes a note of the hypocrisy in the foreign policy outlook of some of the leading Commonwealth countries that successfully pushed for the exclusion of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe from the meeting while ignoring political violence in Nigeria. The same thing can be said for Uganda and many other member nations. The politically motivated and state-orchestrated violence against the Movement regime's opponents in 2001 are well documented. In fact the Supreme Court ruling in the Dr Kizza Besigye petition challenging President Museveni's election was pretty indicting of the polls' process. But there was no condemnation of Mr Museveni yet the abuses that occurred in Uganda were similar to what Mugabe presided over in 2002. One gets the sad sense that these double standards are driven by a vested interest as the case of Zimbabwe demonstrates. The issue of the white settler/farmer community that owns swathes of that country's arable land generally informs Britain, Australia and Canada's impression of Mugabe. Most of the concern is for the white farmers' prospects with only passing comments being made about the suffering of the entire population. By not applying the same pressure on regimes like Museveni's where distorted elections and disrespect of human rights are the norm, the Commonwealth is increasingly becoming just another talking shop without any moral clout to condemn perpetrators of human rights abuses. © 2003 The Monitor PublicationsDownload Yahoo!

ugnet_: Tinyefuza to lead new investigation
Tinyefuza to lead new investigationBy Ogen Kevin Aliro Alex B. AtuhaireDec 3, 2003 KAMPALA Lt. Gen. David Tinyefuza has been appointed to lead an extended investigation into ghost soldiers. Lt. Gen. David TinyefuzaHis new call comes a day after President Museveni purged the army leadership and sent 28 officers on forced leave. The principal targets of Tinyefuzas investigation are former Fifth Division Commander, Col. John Mugume, and Col. Steven Rwabantu. Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza yesterday confirmed Tinyefuzas new role in the extended investigation. This is a continuation of [Defence minister] Amama Mbabazis committee that was investigating ghost soldiers. Maybe there were hints in the original probe that pointed at some officers. Gen. Tinyefuza is going to further probe into these ghosts and determine whether there is sufficient evidence [against the officers named], Bantariza said. Court martial explained He explained that while all the 28 officers sent on forced leave would face the court martial, not all would be court-martialed. To face a court martial can mean several things. You can face the court martial as a witness or as a defendant against allegations. But you can also face the court martial as a defendant against charges (be court-martialed), he said. "Some will go to the court martial to give evidence on some allegations, while others will face a committee probing the ghost soldiers in the army's pay roll," Bantariza added. On Monday Lt. Gen. Museveni, the commander in chief, sent out a military radio message to all units ordering 28 officers to go on leave and to later appear before the General Court Martial (GCM) led by Lt. Gen. Elly Tumwine. Musevenis message partly read: It is with much regret that I must send the following officers on leave so as to appear before the GCM under Lt. Gen. Elly Tumwine for the perpetuation of ghosts a most subversive act and for formenting wrangles in the Force. Some of the officers affected are Maj. Gen. James Kazini, Brig. Henry Tumukunde, Brig. Steven Kashaka, Brig. Nakibus Lakara, Brig. Julius Oketta, Col. Poteli Kivuna, Col. John Mugume, Col. Fred Tolit, Col. Mark Kodil, Col. Andrew Gutti, Lt. Col. Dura Mawa Muhindo, Col. Steven Rwabantu, Maj. Bakirana and Lt. Kenneth Ayebare. There are some who are going to be prosecuted while others are going to give evidence. Some are required to give information because by the nature of their positions [they must have known what was happening], Bantariza told The Monitor yesterday. They shall face the GCM for different offences including having ghost soldiers and subversive talk. Subversive elements Museveni has ordered that all subversive elements be prosecuted immediately. Bantariza however explained yesterday that subversion in this case meant creating ghost soldiers and talking in the wrong forum. All these are subversive tendencies under the UPDF Act 2003, Bantariza said. He dismissed rumours of treason (possibly arising from a failed coup plot). The Monitor learnt that Kashaka is one of those likely to be questioned for speaking out in the wrong forum. One of his other low points was having a public altercation with Dr Francis Epetait (MP for Ngora County) in the VIP lounge at Entebbe Airport. Mugume and Rwabantu shall, on the other hand, be questioned mainly over ghost soldiers. Mugume may also be paying for his alleged links to the Reform Agenda of Dr Kizza Besigye, the exiled former candidate in the 2001presidential elections. Mugume reportedly donated Shs 15 million to Besigyes campaign and the cheque was, according to a military intelligence source, intercepted.(This sis libelous unless he is charged. What if they chose not to use this charge against him?) Kazini and Tumukunde Kazini, the former army commander, has been largely cleared of ghost-related allegations. He will, however, face the court martial for reportedly causing wrangles in the army, and for speaking in the wrong forum usually the armys reference to unauthorised media interviews. Tumukunde, the former chief of the Internal Security Organisation (ISO), will appear before the GCM to defend himself against a much longer list of allegations. The list includes indiscipline, insubordination, ghost soldiers, poor performance and disobedience. Tumukunde refused to go abroad for a course after he was sacked from ISO in June this year. He twice reportedly also refused to report to the army commander for redeployment responding only to the third invitation. Later Tumukunde wrote to Museveni, asking for permission to retire from the army. Museveni returned the letter to him, and tried to use sympathetic intermediaries to woo Tumukunde back into the fold. Even after meeting Museveni, Tumukunde reportedly still refused to accept any other deployment (outside ISO). He insisted he wanted to retire and go home. After court martial According to Bantariza, any officers declared

Steven Kashaka and Brig. Nakibus Lakara sent on forced leave before they are investigated and court-martialed.Some of the officers shall be arrested and tried before Lt. Gen. Elly Tumwines General Court Martial.Kazini was the army commander until June this year when he was dropped and replaced with Maj. Gen. Aronda Nyakairima. Tumukunde is a former division commander and chief of the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) now under Col. Elly Kayanja.Lakara was the army chief of staff until yesterday. Masaba has been commander of the Air Force at Entebbe.Biraaro replaces Col. Fred Tolit who was the deputy chief of staff until yesterday. Tolit is being sent abroad on a military course. Brig. Julius Oketta has also been sacked as chief of logistics and engineering (CLE). Oketta is to be sent on a course. His replacement as CLE is Lt. Col. Jacob Musajjawaza.Col. Othieno replaces Col. Mark Kodil as chief of personnel and administration (CPA) at the Bombo General Army Headquarters.President Museveni, the Commander in Chief, yesterday also sacked all but two of the five division commanders.Col. Poteli Kivuna (Second Division in Mbarara), Col. Andrew Gutti (Third Division in Soroti) and Col. John Mugume (Fifth Division in Lira) were all sacked and sent on forced leave.Their deputies have taken over the divisions for the period the trio shall be under investigation.Col. Kayemba has reportedly taken over the Third Division from Gutti; Col. Hudson Mukasa has replaced Kivuna at Second Division, while Maj. Ruheesi has been promoted to lieutenant colonel and reportedly taken charge of the Fifth Division from Mugume.Col. Nathan Mugisha (Fourth Division in Gulu) and Brig. Levi Karuhanga (First Division in Kakiri) have, however, retained their respective commands.Others sacked and sent on forced leave include Maj. Bakirana who has been a director of military intelligence.He is the only officer affected from the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) under Col. Noble Mayombo.Other officers reportedly in trouble are former Alpine Brigade commander Lt. Col. Dura Mawa Muhindo, Lt. Col. Steven Rwabantu, Brig. Steven Kashaka (a former CPA) and Lt. Kenneth Ayebare.In all, about 28 soldiers from warrant officers to major generals have been sent on forced leave, according to information available to The Monitor.New commandersBrig.

Arthur Musinguzi, a former deputy chief of logistics, has also been promoted to chief of records.Maj. Dick Olum celebrated his recent wedding with a promotion yesterday. He is now a lieutenant colonel and the director of manpower planning. The Monitor could not readily confirm reports that Olum is later likely to take charge of the proposed Sixth Division in Fort Portal.The officers sent on forced leave have reportedly been summoned from their stations to face an investigation and be court-martialed.That would mean that even Kazini, presently attending an elite military course in Nigeria, could be forced to cut short his studies to face the court martial.A top military source told The Monitor that some of the officers would be investigated in connection with corruption especially the sensitive issue of ghost soldiers.Those officers had to be removed in order to allow the investigation on ghost soldiers to go on smoothly without any undue interference. Some of them shall have to face the general court martial, a military source told The Monitor.The source said that some suspects would be held under house arrest for the duration of the investigation and the special session of the general court martial. News of the changes was first broken yesterday at 11:25 a.m. by 93.3 Monitor FM.Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza uncharacteristically refused to confirm the changes that were communicated to all army units yesterday as a military radio message.What you are talking about is a command and administration decision. As of now I have no useful comment in the interest of the public, Bantariza told The Monitor by phone.He added: Progressively my minister or myself should be able to make useful comment for the public to know what you are inquiring about.Asked whether officers such as Kazini, who is already on a course abroad would be recalled, Bantariza declined to discuss the fate of individual officers.Ordinarily, if you are on duty and you are given leave to attend an inquiry, you are given freedom to make your submissions

The army received a GPS receiver a fortnight ago from a woman who escaped from rebel captivity. The woman claimed she was a wife to rebel commander Vincent Otti. The army believes the GPS was in possession of Otti who is reportedly hiding in Gulu. Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza was cagey when contacted on Sunday.It is not admissible to say what use we are going to put it [GPS] to. I would be entering the area of classified operation information, Bantariza said.The GPS is very useful and valuable equipment because if you are like those bandits, you will be able to tell how many kilometers you are from a UPDF detach, Bantariza added.He said the LRAs strong allies in the region supplied the GPS receiver.There are 24 GPS satellites in the orbit that monitor the earth at 11,000 nautical miles from above. The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by anyone with a GPS receiver. 2003 The Monitor Publications Sponsor Yahoo!

ugnet_: ZIM'S LAND REFORM IS AN INTERNAL ISSUE
Zims land reform an internal issue: envoy Herald Reporter Zimbabwe's land reform programme is an internal issue and no other country has a right to dictate how the country runs its affairs, Romanian ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr Luminita Florescu, has said. Mr Florescu was speaking to The Herald during celebrations to mark his country's national day last week. He said all Zimbabweans must be satisfied by the land reform programme and work hard to produce enough food and drive the country's economy forward. "Land is the best resource the majority of Zimbabweans who rely on it can have but we feel the misunderstandings going on between the Government and white commercial farmers can be resolved amicably," said Mr Florescu. The country's image, which had been tarnished by the negative publicity in the international Press, needed to be improved by telling the outside world what exactly was happening on the ground. "Zimbabwe needs an aggressive campaign to correct its image which has been tarnished in order to attract foreign investment," said Mr Florescu. He said relations between the two countries were good although much needs to be done in the area of trade which was still in Zimbabwe's favour. Romania imports tobacco worth about US$3 million while Zimbabwe imports mostly spare parts of agricultural equipment worth about US$100 000 a year. He said the co-operation between the friendly countries could greatly improve if Zimbabwe opens an embassy in Bucharest The Mulindwas Communication Group"With Yoweri Museveni, Uganda is in anarchy" Groupe de communication Mulindwas "avec Yoweri Museveni, l'Ouganda est dans l'anarchie"
