On the 12th anniversary of the onset of our countryâs ill-fated military intervention in Iraq–Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) released the latest edition of Body Count for North American distribution.
The pdf of Body Count is available for download here: Body Count
The report, authored by members and colleagues of the German affiliate of the Nobel Prize-winning International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), is a comprehensive account of the vast and continuing human toll of the various âWars on Terrorâ conducted in the name of the American people since the events of September 11, 2001.This publication highlights the difficulties in defining outcomes as it compares evaluations of war deaths in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Even so, the numbers are horrific. The number of Iraqis killed during and since the 2003 U.S. invasion have been assessed at one million, which represents 5% of the total population of Iraq. This does not include deaths among the three million refugees subjected to privations.
Dr. h.c. Hans-C. von Sponeck, UN Assistant Secretary General & UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq (1998-2000) calls the report, âa powerful aide mĂ©moire of their legal and moral responsibility to hold perpetrators accountable.â
Body Count takes a clear and objective look at the various and often contradictory–reports of mortality in conflicts directed by the U.S. and allied forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The result is a fuller picture of the devastation and lethality to civilian non-combatants throughout these regions. Unfortunately, these deaths have been effectively hidden from our collective consciousness and consciences by political leaders seeking to pursue military solutions to complex global issues with little, if any, accountability.
At a time when our nation is once again contemplating new and expanded military operations in Iraq and Syria, Body Count underscores the scope of human destruction that helps fuel the widespread anger at the Coalition Forces.
It similarly provides the context to understand the rise of brutal forces such as ISIS thriving in the wake of our leadersâ failures. After an estimated cost of at least three trillion dollars over a decade of warfare, we need to fully account for our responsibility and learn the appropriate lessons to avoid a tragic exacerbation of the explosive situation we face today.

And His Comments:

Ben Netanyahu’s speech to the joint session of the US Congress had them hypnotized, the finest example of mass mind control, Since Adolj Hitler’s second speech at Nuremberg.
You can see the vacant, mindless adoration in the faces of those in Bhutanese’s audience.
He was able to convince them, that it is necessary to commit mass murder against Iran, while comparing Iran to the Nazi’s and genocide, even though Iran has not made one aggression against Israel, while Israel lies about it’s own stockpile of 800 nuclear weapons, and massive stockpile od chemical and biological weapons.
Israel has received well over $1 TRILLION in military aid from the US the past 50 years.
Iran has not fired so much as one bullet at any Israeli – ever.
Iran suffered millions of deaths at the hands of Saddam Hussein taught, installed by the US CIA. It was the US that advised Saddam to invade Kuwait. The Rothschild crime syndicate has been behind every war in the world since 1914, and made money lending to both sides, then buying back the losing countries assets for pennies on the dollar.
Israel will not be happy until there is another river of blood, from American bodies.
That voice, those gestures from Netanyahu were his own, but the words, the mind were those of the Rothschilds, same entity that financed Hitler’s 1932 election, and loaned him money to re-industrialize Germany, loaned he Nazi’s the money to build their war machines.
Germany was repaying those loans to the Rothschilds’-banks, until 2005.
The single greatest reason that Hitler is so maligned and demonized today is NOT because of the holocaust, otherwise Mao and Stalin would be front and center, far more guilty of state massacres in terms of pure numbers, but that he demonstrated a road map and an example, of a nation who, throwing off the shackles of international finance and banking, became the worlds premier economic and military power practically overnight. The Federal Reserve and the banks that compromise it(foreign banks) are nothing but parasites and usurpers of the people’s right to the products and wealth of their own labor. Not only do they seek to steal our wealth, but now they seek to destroy our liberties
The US is aggressively provoking war with Russia, for the same old obvious reasons $$$.
And the US cannot possibly stretch its military, let alone economic resources up to the borders of East Asia. The supply chain needed, and ocean areas are too vast. China can sit on its coast and direct energy beam weapons and hypersonic aircraft carrier hunter missiles. They could destroy the entire US Pacific fleet in hours, without having to use even one nuke. The reverse cannot be said of the US.
Chinaâs warfighting technology is accelerating rapidly beyond that of the US. The US cannot afford to lose either South America or African friendship and resources, but the Chinese have designs, and are well on their way ⊠to controlling both continents. The US can no longer afford the costs of maintaining over 780 military bases in 163 countries around the world. The US cannot muster enough of a fighting force and support to overthrow the legally elected and harmless Syrian Republic, just because Saudi Arabia wants the real estate to run pipelines to the Mediterranean⊠and to Israel.
So the US CIA, Saudi Arabia and Israel (same people that brought you the 9-11 Flying Circus) rebranded al Qaeda as ISIS, organized, funded, trained, armed, and staffed an army of 200,000, mostly Saudis released from prisons, more than willing to work for the pardon, and the rape and plunder. The US would never be able to pay 200,000 Blackwater contractors to do the same job (not at the $5,000 per day chargebacks to the federal government). Blackwater might reduce their rates a bit, in exchange for some of the rape and plunder though. It’s kind of difficult to tell the difference between the average ISIS killer and average Blackwater contractor.
I forgot to mention that WW 3 has been raging since September 11, 2001. The US has spent over $6 TRILLION since, 90% of which went to the wealthiest 1%. It was planned years prior to 9/11 – the Rothschild family global crime syndicate is behind it, as for all wars since 1914. They are neither Semites, nor are they Jews. They are Europeans, and atheists, and that clan has a net worth of at last $ 71 TRILLION. That Family caused and profited the deaths of over 100 MILLION civilians from wars, and is proud of the ocean of blood their black ships sail upon.
The US is a decaying empire, sucked dry when Americans were forced to bail out the major global banks to the tune of $7 TRILLION between 2008-2011. Thatâs a fact proven by the first audit ever audit of the Federal Reserve Corporation, in 2012, The US congress is supposed to audit the FED bank cartel every year. Congress greatly fears the power of the Rothschilds, who buy these same Congressmen, like sandwiches out of a vending machine. The US is spiraling down. It will perish soon enough in front of your eyes. Americaâs mercenary proxy armies are positioned for regime change in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Russia What the Fascist regime in the US fails to understand is that it is quite bankrupt â at all levels. The US will collapse, as do all hyper aggressive, brutal and corrupt regimes. It is a certainty.
It is a certainty that the Fascist, puppet regime that controls America must be brought to its knees. It officially slid into Fascism, the day a dark cabal had US President John Kennedyâs head blown apart in a public crossfire, over his plans to pull out of Vietnam, to transfer currency creation back to Congress (and shut the Fed), to prevent nuclear weapons technology and materials to Israel, and to continue dismantling the CIA and turn over that function to the Pentagon.
November 22, 1963 was the turning point, not just for the US, but for the entire world and the tens of millions killed by wars linked to the US since that time.
The names of every conspirator involved in the JFK execution and cover-up by now are known, a historical fact. 3 of the many went on to become US presidents.
