Haunted by a mission gone wrong, U.S. drone sensor operator Calvin Williams begins to feel suspicious about drone warfare and the implications it could have on freedom domestically. When his suspicions turn into reality, he is forced to act.

Three men, one of them an elderly man, are filmed sitting while blindfolded on a curb in the middle of a large public square in the northern city of al-Raqqa in Syria surrounded by a large crowd of people and by al-Qaeda affiliated jihadists belonging to the the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (the Levant), an organization resulting from the merger of Islamic State of Iraq (aka al-Qaeda in Iraq or AQI) and Jabhat al-Nusra (aka Nusra Front).
A statement precedes the execution, in which the jihadist claims that this sectarian-driven execution is in response to the Alawites’ and secular Sunnis’ murder of their fellow Wahhabis, whom they refer to as Sunnis.
Sakkar is the commander of the Farouq Brigades, one of the largest units of the Free Syrian Army. In 2012, the unit merged with the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, a coalition of Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist groups vowing to create an Islamic state in Syria. It is named after Farouq from Omar bin al-Khatab, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, and the second caliphate.
The video was described as authentic by several Abu Sakkar’s fighters and supporters, including his brother.
“I swear to God, soldiers of Bashar, you dogs – we will eat your heart and livers! Takbir! God is Great! Oh my heroes of Baba Amr, you slaughter the Alawites and take their hearts out to eat them!” Sakkar declares in the video.
The NGO Human Rights Watch claims the cannibal Sakkar also participated in the indiscriminate sheeling of Shia villages in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.
The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Geneva Convention prohibit mutilation of the dead. “Mutilation of the dead is actually a fairly rare occurrence in well-disciplined armies. This is probably as much the result of a general revulsion at such conduct as from a fear of criminal punishment,” notes H. Wayne Elliott.
The CIA’s Islamic mercenaries – supported and funded by the Gulf monarchies – have demonstrated on numerous occasions in Syria and Libya they are not beholden to international standards governing the conduct of war.
Amnesty International has documented a steep increase in war crimes committed by CIA supported mercenaries in Syria, including hostage taking, torture and summary executions.
In Libya, NATO’s mercenaries tortured and summarily executed thousands, including Muammar Gadhafi and his son, according to Human Rights Watch. Islamic militias are said to have killed U.S. ambassador Stevens and several other Americans in Benghazi.
U.S. and Israel are both financing and supporting these FSA (Free Syrian Army)/al Qaeda fighters to overthrow the Syrian government so they can overthrow the Iran government without resistance from Syria.
More reverse-Christian war crimes that God will judge US for. This isn’t about freedom at all.
The USA have overthrown dozens of countries over the years, covertly and overtly. And most Americans don’t want to hear about it.
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright:I think this is a very hard choice, but the price—we think the price is worth it.
Alex covers the outrageous Israeli strike on Syria, and the total Twilight Zone-like bizarreness of Syria being unable to retaliate or defend itself due to the dilemma that any form of reprisal would likely give a green light for a full scale military assault by the US and Israel. Alex also breaks down how the West is committing war crimes by funding and arming the Al-Qaeda-led Syrian rebels, and examines the “It can’t happen here” mentality comforting naïve Americans. On today’s show, Alex will also analyze the persecution of Christians in the military and recently at a high school in Texas, and get into how the Boston bombing suspects being denied legal counsel is complete defiance of the Sixth Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
James Cartwright, a retired general who was until two years ago deputy chair of the joint chiefs of staff, said on Tuesday that “I am worried that we have lost the moral high ground” as a result of excessive use of drone strikes. “We risk being in a position where we are generating more problems than we have solved,” he said. … “The drone strikes are the face of America to many,” he said.
Critics of Mr Obama say while he has toned down some of the rhetoric about the “war on terror”, he has continued its policies.
Jeremy Scahill, the author of a new book and film, Dirty Wars, on America’s use of covert methods to track down and kill alleged terrorists, says Mr Obama largely gets a free pass for pursuing policies that infuriated Mr Bush’s critics. “Unfortunately, a lot of liberals have checked in their consciences at the door – that is not very healthy for our democratic process,” he said.
Another Islamic cleric has gone public to announce a fatwa that permits US-backed FSA rebels to rape non-Sunni women in Syria as part of a “sexual jihad” that has seen girls as young as 14 transported into the country to service the needs of anti-Assad militants.
“Salafi Sheikh Yasir al-’Ajlawni, a Jordanian of origin who lived in Damascus, Syria for 17 years, posted a YouTube video last week where he said he was preparing to issue a “legitimate fatwa” making it legal (in the eyes of Islam) for those Muslims fighting to topple secular president Bashar Assad and install Sharia law to “capture and have sex with” all non-Sunni women, specifically naming Assad’s own sect, the Alawites, as well as the Druze and several others, basically, all non-Sunnis and non-Muslims,” reports Human Events. http://www.infowars.com/islamic-cleri…
