What happened and is happening to Indymedia in Beirut?

Since yesterday - as the front/home page shows - at 14.58 hours local time - the latest/last posting appeared. Indymedia Beirut is still accessible, but posting, commenting and publishing is not possible anymore. 'Who or what' silenced the editors, writers and readers? Indymedia.org International has been alarmed too.

IS INDYMEDIA BEIRUT ALSO A VICTIM OF THE ILLEGAL AND INHUMAN US/ISRAELI SLAUGHTER OF LEBANON?

The fate of silenced colleagues in a war zone is apparently not important enough for Indymedia in The Netherlands, which put the alarming information about the silencing of Indymedia Beirut way back among the 'older articles' - [even if it was published 10 minutes ago[ - and 'all open postings (including non-news') - (in Dutch: oudere artikelen > alle open posting artikelen (inclusief non-nieuws). - But, they posted it anyhow, and it's found here if you click the 'non-news' - 'inclusief non-nieuws' - at Url.: http://www.indymedia.nl/nl/newswire/newswire761.shtml

Editors and friends in Italy, around the world and especially in EU capital Brussels and Lebanon:

WHAT HAPPENED AND HAPPENS TO INDYMEDIA BEIRUT?

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Amsterdam - The latest/last publishing/posting on the pages of Indymedia Beirut were in the afternoon yesterday; it was an informative article questioning the war propaganda and other lies under the title: ''Kidnapped in Israel or Captured in Lebanon?'' - which as date has 26-07-2006 14:58 hrs.

When I afterwards tried to publish Mike Whitney's honest and open letter, which you can read here below, questioning Fouad Siniora, the Lebanese prime minister, a letter by the way, with which I fully agree, the web site of Indymedia Beirut had been 'stopped' by 'unknown'.

Could people who know about the fate and the editors of Indymedia in Lebanon, or the editors themselves, please find a way to report and tell us all on the 'how and what' of the forced silence?

We know Who profits? - but would like to know: 'Whodunit?'...

Here's the letter by Mike Whitney which could not any more be published by Indymedia Beirut:

Mike Whitney: My Letter to Lebanon’s Prime Minister Fouad Siniora

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14190.htm

FPF-fwd. agreeing with Mike Whitney

The blood of innocent victims is the seed of the resistance.

IN THAT AREA WATER IS OFTEN MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND THAN OIL.

Intro by Henk Ruyssenaars

July 26 - 2006 - The letter below by Mike Whitney, concerns every collaborator of every nationality, race or color, in every country and in every function, supporting - even by silence - the atrocities of the US/Israeli war machine: it concerns all those war criminals with their propagandists. Those media war mongers who seem to think that they can do this to humanity and get away with it.

How the Hell do they think they themselves can survive the terror they spread? They do not respect anything: however can they expect the billions of their victims, the people which everywhere on earth are opposing them, respect anything concerning them? Why do they think there's a global resistance?

The letter is also addressed to all those bad geniuses who - like the group which has taken charge of the global economy and thus politics in many countries - as usual abuse the population and via their banks and media rip off the people in most countries: brainwashing their minds with their propaganda and other lies, and stealing their money.*

To give an example: the 'managers' of The Netherlands, their collaborators and propagandists wallow - like pigs in the mud - in the blood of their innocent victims, and do not want to know nor understand why globally billions of us start seeing red. Starting to understand what the killers for this system are guilty of, and realizing that we for ages have been forced to pay for their war crimes and sacrifice millions of ourselves and our children as unwitting cannon fodder.

Millions of what the killers call 'collateral damage' - is in reality another genocide in which normal people know human beings are killed by the 'London War Lords' and their armed forces doing the dirty work for them; the US/Israeli war machine including NATO and all others in the Coalition of the Killing. And we are forced to pay those horrible criminals billions for that? We want justice, and life time jail sentences with hard labor for them!

JUSTICE FROM THE BARRELS OF OUR GUNS?

And all those PM's and other war criminals on all levels know - and should never forget - that the very second law is made valid again, they all will suffer what they deserve. - Like the Dutch war criminals, including one of the worst traitors ever, who finished the unions power, sold the whole country an everybody else to the money makers, was rewarded as SHELL Kommissar (the biggest profit ever is announced by SHELL today for those killing & drilling culprits) and ex PM: criminal Wim Kok, here in Court - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/662pp

And I'm afraid - knowing and seeing what they have done, and keep doing everywhere to so many human beings - that they will be gurgling in the blood they now have on their hands. I'm against capital punishment normally, but they break every law and pain limit.

The by us paid military troops must turn the weapons around!

Defending international law concerning human rights for all!

We want functioning laws and justice!

MY LETTER TO LEBANON’S PRIME MINISTER FOUAD SINIORA

By Mike Whitney - 07/25/06 "Information Clearing House"

Dear Prime Minister Fouad Siniora,

Perhaps you will be kind enough to answer a few questions regarding the recent visit of United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, so that people around the world who have looked on with sympathy as your country has been ravaged by Israeli aggression can understand your feelings on these important matters.

FIRST OF ALL, WHY DID YOU ALLOW THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO VISIT BEIRUT?

The Bush administration had already made its position entirely clear and everyone who followed the issue knew that the US would continue to give Israel the “green light” until it finished its military operations according to its original plans.

Were you unaware that Rice had already stated that she was not prepared to offer a “cease fire”?

Were you unaware that the United States was “rushing a shipment of precision-guided bombs to Israel” to continue the slaughter of Lebanese civilians and the destruction of the nation’s infrastructure?

Why would you allow yourself to be photographed “smiley-faced” and shaking hands with the woman who is destroying your country and killing your people?

Haven’t you seen the pictures of the vast devastation in the south of the country where 750,000 of your people have been forced off their land and shunted into refugee camps?

Haven’t you heard of the many incidents of the Israeli military intentionally bombing civilians, homes, bridges, milk factories, mosques, airports, power-plants, lighthouses, and ports? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14069.htm

Haven’t you seen the photos of the mass graves and the improvised coffins which have been laid side-by-side in long rows following Israeli bombardment? - Url.: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14137.htm

Haven’t you heard the reports that Israel is using strange banned weapons in southern Lebanon including cluster-grenades, laser-weaponry, and white phosphorus? http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m25033&hd=0&size=1&l=e

Haven’t you heard the haunting shrieks of the young boy who was filmed in hospital by CNN after being incinerated by Israeli napalm? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14181.htm

Haven’t you seen the heartrending picture of the dying Lebanese mother peering up for the last time at her blood-spattered and inconsolable child; another victim of the Israeli onslaught? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14180.htm

What type of man would put out the “red carpet” for his enemy while his people are still being slaughtered in the field?

A SIMPLE PHONE CALL TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE STOPPED THE SECRETARY FROM LANDING IN LEBANON. HOW MUCH COURAGE DOES THAT TAKE?

If you were a brave man you would have placed the Secretary and her entire entourage under “house arrest” demanding that Israel stop its “scorched earth” campaign before releasing Rice and her people. But, we do not expect you to do the “courageous thing”, just the “decent thing”.

No one expects you to join the resistance and fight the butchers who have invaded your country from the south. No one expects you to risk your life to show your love for Lebanon or your willingness to die for your countryman. But why would you humiliate yourself by posing with the very people who have devastated your homeland and killed your country’s children?

Is your dignity worth so little that you would grovel at Israel/America’s feet for a villa in the Riviera and a pocket full of silver?

Jesus Christ said, “For what shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world but lose his soul.”

WHAT ABOUT YOUR SOUL, PRIME MINISTER? WAS THAT PART OF AMERICA’S BARGAIN, TOO?

You have disgraced your country and betrayed your people. You should do the honorable thing and submit your resignation so that your people can elect a leader worthy of their respect.

Sincerely,


Mike Whitney

A VERY IMPORTANT P.S.: Please do never forget that if - for instance - you were the head of the secret service in your country - as all 'services' fully cooperating with the 'managers' of your country and people - and you and your 'spooks' had not already a long time ago infiltrated all important alternative news sources - like Indymedia too - you would be fired immediately!

That's too why Indymedia in The Netherlands has more pro-Israeli gatekeepers than gates... And it are always the infiltraitors (pun intended) who scream first about anti-semitism* or similar stupidities. Because they know they defend the 'London War Lords' and their permanent and global injustice, the global US/Israeli war crimes, and all crimes against us: humanity. This banking group's criminality never knew, nor knows any limits.

There's nothing new under that particular and dark sun, but do pls. always keep this reality in mind. There's more historical proof than you want to know. And the vile media megaphones who cover up the global misery, all those traitors and especially the prompter pimps, dish bitches, and so called journalists which nearly all are propagandists - they all know that they are guilty as Hell. They fear the coming heavy punishment they all very much deserve. In Nuremberg, after the War Crimes Tribunals, this kind of media liars was hanged by the Americans.

ONE OF THE MANY ATROCITIES THEY COVER UP IS THE ILLEGAL WAR IN AFGHANISTAN:

RESISTANCE DOWNS HELICOPTER OF THE 'COALITION OF THE KILLING': Today - July 27 - 2006 - it was announced that a helicopter in Afghanistan was shot down, killing 16, among them 2 Dutch, also illegally being there. They all are in breach of the Charter of the UN as Secretary general Kofi Annan said to the BBC, and thus illegally invading and killing in an innocent but resisting country and population.

RICE - #1 WAR CRIMINAL

P.S. 2: In the PNAC's propaganda sheet New York Times, in the article* concerning Rice visit to Israel, it says that there was a sign saying "Rice Go Home!" Reality - as could be seen in Israel and on TV in Europe etc. were hundreds of people protesting, even with those heavy security measures, of which many had other, adequate signs reading: RICE - #1 WAR CRIMINAL! - Very appropriate!

* New York Times war propaganda: ''Israel to Occupy Area of Lebanon as Security Zone'' - The Israeli holocausting of the world, this time destroying much of Lebanon, and the attempt - by also killing UN observers - to keep all 'foreigners' out 'until the job is finished', shows the malignant intentions of the managers of the US/Israeli war machine. - Propaganda sewer #1 - New York Times - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/mhf8n

They are trying to occupy - together with their US weaponry, new US bombs and satellite info - the southern part of Lebanon, up to the Litani river and it's water. Under the pretext of a 'security zone', sending in fake 'peace troops', NATO 'restorers' or whatever. Like the Golan Heights they also illegally keep occupied. Israel does not, and never cared, about resolutions by the rest of the world through the United Nations. - Map - Url.: http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/lgcolor/lbcolor.htm

IT IS A WATER WAR AS WELL. Because in that area water is much more expensive many times than oil. So here's one of the Lebanese water projects - Url.: http://www.isiimm.agropolis.org/index.php?page=worksites&country=4

* ANTI-SEMITISM IS WRONG: It is not a matter of race, color, religion or nationality. It's finding out - and presenting facts - about who did what, where, when and why? - ''Semites are peoples who speak Semitic languages; the group includes Arabs, Aramaeans, Jews, and many Ethiopians.'' - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/mbej3

* THE EVIL EMPIRE keeps devastating hundreds of millions of lives, and we are all complicit - because of our collaborating puppet governments - in the ruination of lives and exploitation of human energies. So, what is the origin? Who are the real criminals and profiteers, this murderous mafia for centuries already living in their own VATICAN OF THE COMMERCIAL WORLD - THEIR OWN 'STATE WITHIN A STATE'? - WHO HOLDS THE GOLD, AND THUS THE POWER? - WHO ARE THE CULPRITS HOLOCAUSTING MANKIND? - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/hvtxo
