WE BLEW UP THE WORLD TRADE CENTER..NO PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON. HELLO! -- MAJOR DOUG ROKKE, U.S. ARMY
After over 30 years in the military, happily doing whatever the military told him, Doug Rokke worked his way through college, BS in physics (Western Illinois), and MS and PhD in physics at the U. of Illinois Champaign/Urbana. All this time, he was still a “warrior”. And then, after “Desert Storm” (mass murder part I), Major Doug Rokke was handed he “DU clean-up project” by the U.S. Army. The Army brass (read corporate flunkies) knew what a hideous thing “depleted uranium” was, but Doug Rokke didn’t. When he found out, he was determined to expose the crimes, In this talk, Doug Rokke relies on his life-long contacts and experience in the Pentagon (3rd floor office, a 100 feet from the impact site) for the low down on the absurdity of a 757 folding its wings back and disappearing through a series of holes. Hello!

DOUG ROKKE IN 2003 IN
ROCHESTER, NY at a VFW
post.
Maj. Doug Rokke, PhD, was tasked to do the 1991 Gulf War clean-up of 'depleted uranium' - DU -- for the U.S. Army. Here he speaks to veterans and anti-war activists. Rokke exposes the US military's total indifference to the fate of not only the Iraqi people, b ut also to the men and women in the US military and the rest of the world. Rokke was told to lie by his superiors about the harmful effects of DU while he himself and his military comrades were sick and dying of DU poisoning. (part 1 of 4)

"KILL EVERYBODY" - AMERICAN
SOLDIER EXPOSES US POLICY IN IRAQ
"I joined in '03," 'cause I was broke, I needed money, but I was a young American kid, I wanted to fight in a war. I joined up. [A] month out of training I arrived in Baghdad, Iraq, January '04. Saddam's been captured. And I get there and the guys I'm serving with have been there for six months already; they were there in '03. And I go, "Well, you know what, I think it's come out that, you know, these people had nothing to do with 9/11, there was no Iraqi on those planes. We can see around here there's no Al Qaida, there's no terrorist syndicates in Baghdad, or Iraq. Saddam had stamped 'em out." And I asked my buddies, "Well, you know, we're here to find 'weapons of mass destruction'." And they laughed at me. And I said, "Well, you know, we're here to 'help the people.'" And they laughed at me. And I said, "What's our mission? What's our goal?"...They're like, "All we're trying to do is make it home alive..." Anderson describes the escalation of violence against unarmed civilians: "In April, they told us, "In a crowded area, if one person shoots at you, kill everybody." Anderson explains the rationale from the officers, "They [members of the crowd of people] are letting them [the person or persons firing at the U.S. military] attack you. They're no longer innocent if they're there at the time of the crime..." (9/11 conference, Chandler AZ Feb 23-25, 2007) 911TV.org

WILL WILLIAMS: A VETERAN FOR PEACE
The only way out of Mississippi for Will Williams was the U.S.
Army. He joined in 1962, served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam, then
realized his hatred for his and his peoples’ oppressors in
central Mississippi had been transferred onto the Vietnamese; he
had been an easy mind control victim, used to kill Vietnamese.
In his talk, Williams demystifies the euphemisms and acronyms (IED,
PDD, CVS, TBI) that hide the ongoing genocide of Iraqis, the
treachery being visited on the American soldiers, and the
privatization of the military via mercenary corporations. A
Madison-based VFP member, Williams spoke at the Milwaukee
Veterans For Peace-sponsored rally, Jan. 26, 2007 (transcript)

DOROTHY MACKEY: SURVIVORS TAKE ACTION AGAINST
ABUSE BY U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL (STAAAMP) A former U.S. Air
Force captain, Dorothy Mackey explains that rape is integral to
the military. She explains the military’s systematic training to
abuse and accept abuse, the programmatic decreasing of
self-awareness that constitutes perhaps the most important part
of “basic training” in which malleable youths are indoctrinated
to think of themselves as expendable...20min 15meg quicktime file 12meg winmedia file - thanks to

TIME TO PUT THOSE GUNS AWAY: Veterans For Peace (NYC, Feb. 15, 2003) They came from all over the US, veterans of US wars and occupation all over the globe. Some of their voices: Harry Fisher (Lincoln Brigade): We have to start fighting for not war, but for peace. David Cline: They wave the flag when you attack, when you come home, they turn their back. Tony Flaherty: This is an immoral, illegal war; the US is becoming an international disgrace. Michael
McPhearson: The US needs to lead the world not with force and coercion but through cooperation. Gene Glazer: When the body bags start coming back, what are they going to tell us?
