I. Collateral Murder (2007 video): Govt.-Sponsored Targeted Killing Of Civilians In Iraq War (Same Basic Targeting/Kill Systems Deployed At Home in Gangstalking Operations)
Webmaster Comment: This footage, released from an American helicopter mission that killed 12 Iraqi and American civilian noncombatants during the Iraq War (2007), documents the same type of militarily coordinated kill mentality and video-game-type tactics deployed in gangstalking (domestic terrorism and murder) operations. Today, “the world is the battlefield,” as President George W. Bush declared after the 9/11 state-sponsored, false flag, synthetic terror event.
So come one andall American mercenary killers: “Get Those Kill Counts Up for the Pentagon, the Fed, and Uncle Scam!” As one commenter puts it below: “The Merchants of Death Join The Coalition of Demons.”
Wilileak’s Julian Assange: “This event is clearly murder…. The video still has not been released by the Pentagon. It was only as a result of a whistleblower inside the US military stepping forward with the material that we see it now. There would be no discussion today at all if it was not for that military whistleblower stepping forward.”
Webmaster: In my opinion, these remote, video-game killers, very much like the civilian-military gangstalking perpetrators, are among the most despicable cowards and bullies in human history. They torture and kill innocent civilians without provocation in contests in which the odds against targets, in terms of resources and personnel, are at least a million to one. These are psychopaths. Their most probable eternal destination is obvious.

This video is basically just a how-to instructional video on how to create terrorists who hate America. Important to remember that some people hate America because their hate is justified. Thank you Chelsea Manning.

The fact I find most infuriating about this is that the person convicted wasn’t the soldiers who mercilessly murdered innocent civilians, it was the person who released the footage. The fact that America commits these heinous war crimes, and so many people can still support them is ridiculous.

Now imagine if a Russian helicopter was doing this to civilians in Kyiv and some journalist got access to the footage and published it. That journalist would be hailed as a hero and freedom fighter.
Unfortunately, the city was Baghdad, the soldiers Americans, the victims Iraqi. So today they are extraditing Assange after persecuting him for 15 years.
They say the enemy is in front of us, but the enemies are above, both above us and above those we face.

After viewing this again, it occurs to me that all over America there are people ‘protecting their gun rights’ by open-carrying in public streets, malls, grocery stores, concerts – in a country suffering from a peculiar mass shooting phenomena – and uncaring as to whether people around them are wondering whether this is going to be the day they are maimed or killed to become just another statistic. Some of these people have carried AK 47s and the like but entire streets full of people are not mown down by police, drones or helicopters just because some of the people have weapons, in this land of mass shooting ‘incidents’.
Yet in other targeted-people’s cities/towns/villages all over the world, invading/occupying US military does exactly this, on long-distance suspicion, turning weddings into funerals and funerals into fatalities… that’s known as what America does, if differently achieved at home and abroad – because they are run by ruthlessly greedy and globally-power-hungry psychopaths controlling their government and the propaganda to which US citizens been subjected for so long, to ensure that this pathology has the engineered consent – even when reluctantly given – of enough of their people, enough of the time.
And that US citizens keep mindlessly voting in rigged and eternally-unverifiable elections against their own and humanity’s interests and for whatever candidate selection that two privately run and publicly unaccountable political corporations have offered each time to keep ‘the other evil’ out of public office to suit ‘the right billionaires’ on one side or another – who are all draining Americans down to their last penny and drop of life-blood. To their last shred of any pretence of their inherent and inalienable rights.
Why do the American people never pacifically and en masse simply refuse to accept the results of even the most blatantly obvious electoral fraud to demand clean, overseen and verifiable elections which are not controlled by self-interests filling government to suit themselves? In a land where the only legitimate government must be of, by and for the people, rather than of self-claimed ‘above all law’ ‘Exceptionals’ consistently acting against them?
Only the American people can at long last bring democracy to America; they just have to get together to do it and to form their legitimate representative government of, by and for themselves, for the good of the US public and of the war-battered world.

12:28 .. the chaplain is a personal friend of mine .. reporting what he saw. First thing that I want to say is .. we should never have been in Iraq in the first place .. so the whole thing is a “War Crime!” .. secondly .. the men on the ground were walking around as if everything was okay .. nothing to be afraid of .. what’s going on with peeps who think that it’s okay to just light up people for carrying something .. even if it was a rifle .. was it aimed at the helicopters? What is wrong with people who think it’s the “right thing to do” to shoot up the van that coming to rescue the wounded. Just WOW!!! Some people in Washington should be answering for this .. War Crimes! These men could have been carrying anything .. not just weapons. The second part .. the chopper guy was ready to light up the wounded man if he even reached for a weapon. Nice work guys!!! Be very proud of yourselves for defending the corrupt system of government we have!!!

However the principles of just war, being the same principles upheld by the UN, dictate that we should discriminate civilians in theatres of war, in other words we should take all measures that ensure that civilians are not harmed in the process of war. What you said is a justification or behaviour that flies in the face of the UN. Therefore the actions here were illegal, they acted irresponsibly without due investigation. That is reprehensible in the conduct of war

Don’t lie. There was a guy crouching at the corner who looked like he was aiming something. Obviously he ended up not having a gun. But it’s hard to know in the moment. These guys are war fighters not cops. You can’t expect perfection.
Edit: before anyone gets sideways, I find the shooting of the van to be the most egregious offense. There was nothing to suggest that those individuals were doing anything nefarious. To me, that was the worst offense.

Men were walking around a war-zone with what looked like, to me, RPGs(3:45). Unfortunate that journos got taken too but I can understand the situation – you are in a heli and there are guys on the ground with a RPGs and guns looking at you. You can say – “They probably mean no harm, one guy even has a camera”. But then the guy shoots and kills everyone in your heli and you called it “all good”.
Craziest thing about this is how casual this was.

They confirmed their was an RPG and the group had guns verified from the team on the ground also you can clearly see the guy walking had a gun that was sighted as an AK-47. The journalists were told to get out of the hot zone and not to go out on the streets from what I read back then because the military couldn’t be responsible for their safety so how is it collateral murder if they didn’t take the advice and they are walking with enemy combatants? What I don’t understand is why they shot up the van picking up the bodies unless they were afraid they’d pick up the weapons like he said maybe this was a common practice bringing a vehicle to get bodies and retrieving weapons? If we’re not in the fight we don’t know. They’re a killing force that’s what they do and they become callous.

People claiming that this is murder are delusional. This video (shared by Russian-backed WikiLeaks) shows nothing illegal nor immoral. Some of the men were armed. One of them was about to fire an RPG at the helicopter. Any innocent person with them at the time is an unfortunate casualty, yet shouldn’t have been there, and the alternative was for American soldiers to potentially be blown out of the sky. If people think that the enemy wouldn’t have done far worse, or if they don’t INTENTIONALLY kill civilians, rather than accidentally, they’re kidding themselves.

This is war, stop crying. You have far worse events in war compared to what you see here. The best thing they could have done after this attack was to kill the children as well, I don't see a point why they should help them with medical care after killing their family. Now that's cruel...

III. Collateral Murder? (Discussion)
IV. Ethan McCord: Incidents Like ‘Collateral Murder’ Happen Almost Daily in Iraq
The Nation
44K subscribers
Just over a year ago, WikiLeaks released footage from a gunsight camera of an Apache helicopter engaged in an attack that killed two journalists and eight civilians in Baghdad. The “Collateral Murder” video, as it came to be known, was a shocking document of America’s war in Iraq, and was greeted with a firestorm of controversy on its release. One of the first soldiers on the scene after the air attack, Ethan McCord, is now the subject of a short documentary, Incident in New Baghdad, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York next week.
McCord, in New York for the festival premiere, told the story of what he experienced while saving two children wounded in the incident. When he returned to the Forward Operating Base, he requested mental health support to deal with the scenes he had witnessed. He was laughed at and told to “suck it up.”
According to McCord, what Americans can see in the video is “one incident of many,” and that similar abuses of American military power occur almost daily. “You can see from that one incident that we shouldn’t be” in Iraq, McCord concludes.

I saw Ethan McCord speak last month (September 2011). Everyone who admires McCord for speaking out about his experiences in Iraq should know that he has been threatened by other members of the military for having done so. McCord also speaks at schools convincing young students not to enlist.
This man needs the support of all who feel he is doing the right thing. Keep it in mind.

When Ethan sought mental health help from the military, he should never have been discharged and dumped without any kind of benefits to treat his depression, suicidal feelings, and PTSD. He tried to go to them for help and the higher-ups had nothing but contempt for him. These men have to turn to drink to self medicate. This isn’t the treatment they deserve for service in the military! My brother is a Marine who served three tours in Iraq, and he still has terrible PTSD and drinks daily. He told me if he ever went to the VA for depression treatment, He would be seen as unfit and discharged from service.

Ethan, thankyou for having the courage to speak out about this. You are a hero, and give honor to those murded, lives list and ruined. We see humanity in you, in a place that humanity is rare. God bless those that have lost their lives needlessly in such a barbaric way. My heart aches for those children.

@Mspape1234 Really what?
Both Ethan and James Spione (the filmaker who has turned Ethan’s story into a short documentary), have stated publically that they’ve received death threats for the work that they’ve done.
Perhaps one way that you can support Ethan is tell people about him and what he has done by coming forth and telling his story. Educate others about Ethan and his story. Be brave and speak up, just as Ethan has done.
Be well.

There are times in one’s life which can be looked back to as turning points, places in time which mark the evolution of the soul. Tonight, watching this, and though it has been years in coming and prompted by thousands of hours of study, this is my turning point. From now until I either die or the U.S. government as it is known is nullified, tried and executed for crimes against Humanity, I will have ONE GOAL IN LIFE…

This is why our soldiers come home all fucked up. I’m left speechless after hearing what we are doing over there. This guy will have to live with this horror every single day and night for the rest of his life. This is definitely not the way the media portrays a real war and if they did, maybe, just maybe, entire countries will prevent any war being started by these war mongering politicians.

Thank you Ethan and thank you Julian Assange. If not for Wikileaks we would never hear of that story. While those who committed those crimes are still enjoying their freedom, Assange, who let us see it all and made the world stop and protest, is still sitting in a maximum security prison.
We HAVE TO stand up and protest. Everyone, everywhere.

Its good he came around eventually, but i disagree on the part where he is saying the soldiers are victimised.
What he is saying in the video is not new. We live in an age of free information exchange and reports like these are as old as us military deployments overseas.
Anyone who joins the military, has no excuse not to know this stuff. If you join a cause, you inform yourself about the cause. About what youre actually fighting for. Anyone who blindly joins, is EXACTLY as responsible as someone who does the research, finds out the cause is actually unjust, and then proceeds to join anyway.
Every man and women that joined this cause willingly is equally responsible for the war crimes as their commanding officers. They either knew, or had the resources to learn about the circumstances overseas, and it is their DUTY to be informed about what is going on, before they participate.
There is only two options here. He either did not know what he was actually fighting for, and joined a war he knew nothing about, fighting for a side he didnt know the motivations or actions of
Or he did conduct his research, as he should, and knew the cause was unjust, knew the war crimes where happening, knew the us Military does not belong in those sectors, knew the war consists of slaughtering innocent men women and children. He knew that the political motivations of the us in that area are unjust and not actually what its being advertised as. He knew the us involvement in destabilising this area in the first place, he knew he was fighting for money, not freedom, not for protection, and he knew that the propaganda in the us regarding the wars in the middle east are misrepresenting at best and outright indoctrinating at worst.
Either way, he made the concious decision to join the cause. Either a cause he knew nothing about or a cause he knew was inhumane. That is on him.
If every single soldier to be would inform themselves independently on the politics of the cause they join, about the history of the conflicts, of the reality of the wars, and the actual motivations of their own side (not the motivations stated in the rampant propaganda campaign [a campaign which is also no secret, on that note] ), then this stuff wouldnt happen.
He talks about being used, but he willingly agreed to it. He knew that the whole point of his job is to be used for a motivation one way or another, and it is entirely his responsibility to make sure the motivations of his country are in line with his own morals. In that regard, he and the men on the ground are just as responsible or even more so than their higher ups in command or even the politicians.
They are the ones who join, knowing they will commit war crimes in an area that they invaded. They join knowing that their cause is unjust and they join knowing the history of us conflicts post world war 2 where entirely unjust and by definition terrorism.

I was in iraq from 2005-2006 and our rules of engagement were way way different than his. Ours were crystal clear, you can only fire when fired upon. No matter what the circumstances are. So this man’s story isn’t accurate. But I do agree it’s shit like he witnessed that caused such a massive insurgency in iraq. Either way though I was still there to do my job and I did it to my best ability.

My late father told me that when he served in Korean War as a soldier you could tell 90% of time who was a enemy or friendly. Little kids sages 4 to 6 years old had a piece of string put on their neck with hand grenade and told to run to U.S. Soldier with pin removed to kill anyone near so during war it was hard to tell who was not the enemy. So any soldier who seen weapons in peoples hands they were deemed the enemy. Articles of War as children sold was unfortunate but after a shooting like that I would never drive a van into the combat area or how stupid to take your children in a live combat location! With a superior armed helicopter above I would got my ass out of there quick!
