Dog Murder Double Standards

As should be expected, not only the blogosphere
is abuzz over the sadistic murder of a whimpering puppy, allegedly
by Marine David Motari, but so is the corporate media. As
for the latter, we get lame excuses, for instance from shrinks
employed by ABC
News.
David Spiegel, professor and associate chairman of psychiatry
and behavioral sciences at the Stanford University School
of Medicine, and thus supposedly an expert on these sort of
things, tells us Motari was confronting “the fear of
being wounded or killed… and one of the ways to confront
that may be by showing you’re the one that renders other
creatures helpless,” in other words, by sadistically
murdering puppies and, we can only imagine, possibly other
innocents unable to offer defense.
Meanwhile, over at Wired,
we are told “it was more common to hear reports of soldiers
rescuing animals in Iraq than mistreating them.” Maybe.
But one can only wonder how many animals have died —
from bullets of various caliber and bombs of various composition
(depleted uranium is especially nasty) — in addition
to well over a million Iraqis at the hands of the U.S. military,
sent to “liberate” them from Saddam.
(Article continues below)
But what is really surprising — then again, considering
the depth and severity of brainwashing in America, maybe not
— are the bloggers who refuse to believe a Marine would
do such a thing, no doubt the same as many who refuse to believe
“our” government would not kill 3,000 Americans
on September 11, 2001. Instead of taking the video at face
value, they believe it is a fake. After all, it simply cannot
be real because they don’t want to believe Americans
are capable of such things.
From the above cited Wired article:
There’s also speculation and suggestion
in the blogosphere that the video was faked, or that the puppy
isn’t real. Blogger Lindsay Robertson posted a response
to the footage and enraged backlash, writing: “It’s
so clearly fake!! Still a sick joke, but very obviously fake.”
Other YouTube users echoed her sentiments, remaining unconvinced
of the video’s authenticity. “Sure this is sick,
but its not even real, give it a rest people,” wrote
YouTuber MIKEEC.
No explanation offered why it is not real or “so clearly
fake,” but we can take a guess — “our boys”
are not like those Arabs, specifically al-Qaeda and Saddam,
who are considered evil incarnate, somehow less than human,
monsters, psychopaths, a series of irrational deductions and
stereotypes arrived at with no shortage of corporate media
prodding and propaganda, ad nauseam and non-stop like a sickening
deluge in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. It is a demonization
process, well engineered, that has worked quite well, allowing
the U.S. to wantonly murder, rape, and torture on a nearly
unprecedented scale — only Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were
more ambitious.
In order to better understand this double standard, let’s
take a trip back in time — specifically to August, 2002.
“A large archive of al Qaeda videotapes obtained by
CNN in Afghanistan sheds new light on Osama bin Laden’s
terror network, revealing images of chemical gas experiments
on dogs, lessons on making explosives, terrorist training
tactics and previously unseen images of bin Laden and his
top aides,”
CNN reported. “Among the most frightening scenes
in the collection of tapes are those of testing of a poison
gas on three dogs. The disturbing images show the dying moments
of the defenseless, enclosed animals.”
“Ahmed Rassam, an al-Qaeda-trained terrorist who pleaded
guilty in 2001 to attempting to bomb Los Angeles International
Airport, admitted in court last year he had witnessed the
gassing of a dog with cyanide,” NewsMax
reported on August 20, 2002.
Mr. Rassam’s assertion, however, should be taken with
a pinch of salt, as he was allegedly trained at Darunta, an
“Arab Afghan” base in Nangarhar, Afghanistan,
established by the CIA and MI-6 and allowed to “pass”
into the control of one Ibn Cheikh, a Libyan leader of al-Qaeda,
according to France’s Direction Generale de la Securite
Exterieure (see French
Report CIA & MI6 Funded Afghan Al Qaeda Camp):
Training … included the use of …
poisons such as arsenic, cyanide, gas, diamond powder, nicotine,
and ricin. After Al Qaeda took control of Darunta from the
CIA and MI-6, the camp was used to train Al Qaeda operatives
to launch a series of deadly attacks, including the November
19, 1995 attack on the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, the
1998 attacks on the US embassy in Nairobi, the abortive Dec.
31, 1999 “Millennium” attack on Los Angeles International
Airport by Algerian Ahmed Ressam, and the attack on the USS
Cole.
In fact, the sensationalized
dog killings mentioned above were supposedly conducted at the
Darunta camp, according to CNN. “Al Qaeda documents examined
by CNN last fall in the bombed out ruins of the Darunta camp showed
chemical formulas for sarin. Other documents connect the Darunta
camp, a series of mud and stone buildings, to chemical testing.”
Naturally, the fact this camp was established by the CIA and
gifted to al-Qaeda, itself a documented CIA contrivance, is
not mentioned by CNN. But then the idea was to shock Americans
with disturbing images of a gassed Fido and thus send the message
that al-Qaeda is truly a gaggle of murderous and psychopathic
brigands capable of coldly doing in sweet little puppies. After
killing the pup, of course, they would use their newly honed
skills on American grade school kids.
Few proclaimed the Darunta camp videotape to be “clearly
fake,” little more than a “sick joke.”
A senior Bush administration
official, who was shown the tape by CNN, said he was “very
troubled” by the implications. The official, who has knowledge
of chemical weapons issues, said the video of the chemical tests
on the dogs suggest a very strong desire to acquire the capability
to use such weapons “obviously against humans.”
Sort of like the humans at
the Abu Ghraib torture and rape compound?
Obviously, it is a nearly effortless task to convince somnolent
Americans, plugged in to Faux News and CNN for their intellectual
sustenance, that “our boys” are good and it is only
on rare and isolated occasion they commit such acts as brutally
torturing small animals — if at all because a blurry and
compressed cell phone video is “clearly fake.”
In fact, the Iraqi killing fields are precisely designed —
in addition to liquidating over a million Iraqis and decimating
one of the oldest cultures on the planet — to inure “our
boys” to the stench of carnage and mass murder, no matter
the lame excuses weakly offered by shrinks at CNN or the incredulity
of bloggers unable to get their minds around the very real and
scary fact government is a serial murder machine.
