EN LA MIRA
"CHRONICLE OF A HUMAN HERO"
The story of a man who dared to demonstrate their repudiation frontally representative of the most abominable genocide beginning of the century
By Dany Smith
Muntazer Al Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist
Shiite branch, born in the city of "Zi'kar" I take international
recognition for hurling President George W. Bush their shoes in 2008, today
again remember that day in the distance made history not only among his countrymen
and even in the whole Arab world but also around the globe. No doubt that
December 14, 2008 marked a milestone in the life of this young journalist who,
after attending the meeting joint press that gave the newcomer and well guarded
President George W. Bush and the puppet Nouri al-Maliki, and saw him smiling as
if nothing happened I was won by anger and outrage that led him to take off
their shoes, by insults, throwing them in front of a crowd of journalists
accredited that filled that room. They did not spend three seconds to lie on
top thugs Al Maliki that were part of the "security" who in turn had
been trained by the Americans.
Eight years after that episode that led to
him being savagely beaten, arrested, tortured and persecuted by the collaborationist
authorities, Al Zaidi gave an interview to Russian means "SPUTNIK" (http://mundo.sputniknews.com/entrevistas/20160411/1058566460/entrevista-periodista-iraqui-alzaidi.html
) where he makes a brief reflection of what I felt at that time and what the distance
reminds of the situation. Al Zaidi remembers that after being taken out of that
room, he was immediately hit all the way from the road by members of the
Muhabarat (intelligence) who now worked for the CIA and the US military. It was
a situation that had already been living all Iraqis from the moment that the
Americans and their allies invaded the country. Anyone who was against was
arrested or disappeared; or simply he was killed.
Following his arrest he was sent to a
dungeon called "national intelligence" where he stayed for three
months available to the regime. How has Muntazer, being recognized member of
the Shiite tribe "Zaidi", its members began to demand their release
up to mobilize multitudinously to Baghdad.

To Muntazer as nationalist Iraqis who have
seen have stolen the wealth of Iraq, the pain of the soul is much stronger than
the beatings or torture of criminals serving corrupt politicians who in turn
collaborate with USA.
To this degree of perfidy they reached
political upstarts like Al Maliki, Talabani, Chalabi, Iyad Alawi and
Kurdish worm Masoud Barzani, who collaborated openly with the enemies of the Iraqi
people to kill them. Real demons that seemed Iraqis were carrying out
"cleanup" in Baghdad especially, led by US troops and CIA advisers to
hunt down "terrorists". These criminals who came to occupy the posts
of police and intelligence of Iraq, were so detested by the population and by
supposed allies (Iran), the latter who watched from the watching developments
closely -and still viéndolos- with much suspicion and distrust its close
cooperation with the US. In Iraq the terrorists came causally with the
invaders; Iraqis who came armed to resist for almost ten years are heroes who
received no more reward than to fight and if necessary die against a sinister
and bloodthirsty enemy. This was such a crime that was implemented against
"the entire population" confessions- -without distinction of the
invaders could not cover their horrendous deeds they had ever wanted to come to
light.
Thus Al Zaidi like most Iraqis were aware
of the aberrations committed by the invaders with the help of these thugs who
charge about $ 200 to $ 300 a month not only to hunt down and kill their own
citizens but also to violate their wives. And that was not all, there was a
network of kidnapping and prostitution of Iraqi women regenteada by US troops
who, together with staff of civilian contractors services operating across the
country, made the rounds without there being law can to protect these women and
the law, was controlled by them (.v.

Muntazer was able to see firsthand what
thousands of Iraqis had been suffering the most shameful silences, of which the
western media such as CNN, NBC, BBC and others were distinguished players to
make up such aberrations. As true rabid dogs serving his master, bullies
security Nouri al-Maliki who were only recruited common criminals and paid by
the CIA long before the invasion, spared no punches and kicks to punish this
"disrespectful dissident "who had dared to insult the promoter
of" democracy in Iraq. "
Over the years has shown who the real
"terrorists" throughout this tragedy and this can be seen today
reflected in the research and analysis of many international authors that in
light of the background, do not use euphemisms to describe the villainy that
since Washington and its closest allies, using an administration charge of a
real orate as is "George W. Bush", rampaged based on lies and fabrications
to more than a million and a half human beings.
Abu Grayeb 2004. US torture |
It was first with the ominous and criminal
bombing of Baghdad in 1991 and spread intermittently and with an inhuman
embargo until 2003, to proceed with an obscene military campaign argued on pure
lies, they began to develop gymnastics impunity and crime which it is
unprecedented in what he did to the early years of the century. Needless to
stress that all this was done in violation of the Geneva Conventions and what
of the UN Charter. Baghdad was seized not only the
destructive voracity of the Anglo-Americans. Coincidentally the city of Mosul
was systematic and could even say deliberately obliterated all intension.
There was no limit to the aggressors that
day on Mosul; infant milk factories bombarded with the excuse of being "Factory
chemical weapons"; the bombing of the Mosul University in flour mills in
Mosul, Rafidain and Rasheed of banks in the same town, full of frightened
families apartments, food warehouses and bridges as the Al Hurayrah when he was
being transited, etcetc. Bestiality and viciousness that could be seen in Iraq
against all Iraqis, showed all its splendor -much before the appearance of
chicanery ISIS and Al Zaidi experience it first hand.
As part of the media circus closely advised
by experts in US image, the puppet government in Baghdad, which was submitted
by a strong popular-pressure publicly announced that Muntazer Al Zaidi would be
prosecuted for attacking a senior foreign dignitary, guaranteeing their
physical integrity . But awaiting trial was not without humiliation, torture
and humiliation that Iraqis henchmen had learned from American instructors.
He
was inside the large meat grinder, machinery of terror mounted by the invaders
and gradually was delegated to local butchers without obviously stop being
supervised from Washington. Muntazer might have the painful privilege of seeing
inside that it was the great "school of democracy to American" and
see how they retrain the rebellious citizens. And the principles of this education
are based on the physical elimination of dissidents; something so brutal and
massive as we saw in Nazi Germany, in Stalin's gulags or in modern Israeli
detention centers. Precisely on the latter, intelligence reports of these
contemporary American occupation, Israeli groups recognized that worked
clandestinely in assassination operations, with selective targets inside Iraq.
Another witness to the farce that was
prefabricated around the "sectarian strife" that plagued Iraq, was
given to the case of the disappearance of political activist also Shiite, Uday
al-Zaidi, who after being arrested in early 2015 for bodies safety Naseriyah
regime, there was heard of him, implying a serious chance that he has been
killed (v. http://www.iraqsolidaridad.org/2015/01/llamamiento-de-maxima-urgencia-por-la-liberacion-de-uday-al-zaidi-activista-iraqui-por-los-derechos-humanos/
)
As Al Zaidi and many international
investigators note, the occupation of Iraq has been a disaster and has
represented the full demonstration of what a systematic genocidal campaign that
cannot be explained with children's reports concerning the so-called
"collateral damage" with which the military and politicians in
Washington, trying to disguise his crimes (v. http://www.globalresearch.ca/death-and-destruction-in-iraq-extensive-us-war-crimes-apocalypse-in-mosul-in-the-guise-of-bombing-isis/5522167
)
That is why the "ISIS" or
as the Iraqis themselves call it "Daesh" was not a spontaneous
phenomenon of political nature that was born in the light of all the aberrations
that the Americans and their allies carried out against the population . Fewer
still, the story that the US media have spread about the fictional "Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi," a character that the overnight, appeared surrounded by
a story that rather resembles a cheap booklet "Hoolywood". As it
explains Al Zaidi -and that is in the minds of most Iraqis today that infects
the region and present the media machine as the "Islamic State", the
"sectarian strife" or the conflict between Shiites and Sunnis is nothing
more than another born evil musings of brains in Washington and certainly
received the enthusiastic collaboration-and that still to receive- of its
members and which do not seek to eradicate.

Since the Americans and British officially
withdrew from Iraq in 2011, popular demonstrations against a corrupt regime
politically and economically against bullies embodied as Nouri al-Maliki and
his partners have been growing in intensity and popular masses. To that extent
they were growing tribal adherence to these protests continued especially in
the north center of the country, which could make enormous contacts between the
regime with US delegations arrived in the strictest secrecy the country between
2011 and 2012. The situation was untenable and Americans brought a clear
message to the regime, "Al Maliki must go."
When they saw the mobster
handpicked by Condolleza Rice clung to the throne, coincidentally began armed
uprisings in Al Anbar and sporadic occurrences of "Daesh"
intermingled with fighters in Fallujah and thereafter, the story will be
developed to our days.
Muntazer has no doubts, like most Iraqis
without distinguishing between Shiite or Sunni, the "Daesh" is being
supported indirectly by the United States and that is opening the eyes even the
collaborationist general of the regime that no longer holds more by itself.
