LET US PRETEND THAT THEY LIED AT NUREMBERG

How would the world react to false witnesses after World War II, at Lockerbie, or after 9-11? Why have false witnesses in the Hariri Affair been protected—to say the least—by the international community?
Perhaps the most celebrated trial of the 20th century was that of Nuremberg, which took place in October 1945 when Adolph Hitler’s top men stood before court on charges of crimes committed during World War II. Let us imagine that these Nazi officials and the witnesses that came with them lied under oath and falsified information; how would the international community have reacted? How would the world have reacted had witnesses lied at the Lockerbie trials for example, or in all court proceedings that took place after 9-11?
In Syria we are very keen, both government and public alike, on finding out who killed Rafiq al-Hariri on that fateful day in Beirut on February 14, 2005. We also believe that the entire ordeal is quiet simple and straightforward: Israel did it, without the shadow of a doubt, to blame it first on the Syrians and then on Hizbullah. What Israel could not achieve during the war of 2006, vis-à-vis the Lebanese resistance, it will try and achieve through the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL). It will use the international tribunal to strike at the legitimacy, legacy, and future of Hizbullah. What kind of an investigation is this, we tend to ask, when four officers were arrested for the crime in 2005 and released four years later, completely cleared of all charges against them? What kind of probe is the UN heading if Israel was never questioned or drilled in the Hariri Affair? In any murder after all, aren’t investigators required to “round up the usual suspects?”
When Yasser Arafat died in 2004, theories surfaced that the Palestinian leader had been poisoned. It was amazing that nobody back then summoned Ariel Sharon to court. The man had repeatedly threatened to kill Arafat since their confrontation in Beirut in 1982. Those threats alone should have been enough to drag him to the International Court of Justice when Arafat was confirmed dead at a Paris hospital. In Hariri’s case, why was Israel never considered a suspect by the international community or the UN? The Zionist State, after all, had sent commandos in boats to Beirut back in April 1973—headed by Ehud Barak disguised as a brunette woman—to murder three top Palestinian officials in cold blood. A state that is capable of doing that—among other things—is capable of doing everything and certainly capable of orchestrating the Valentine’s Day massacre of February 2005.
But let’s go back to the false witnesses in the Hariri Case. Clearly from court findings and all reports by UN judges since 2005, these false witnesses lied under oath and distorted facts, leading to a miscarriage of justice and doing great harm to Syrian-Lebanese relations. Syria has already issued warrants for their arrest and is expecting Lebanon to take similar action.
So long as the STL refuses to take action against these false witnesses and refuses to even consider Israel as a prime suspect in the Hariri murder, then the STL and Israel stand as two sides of the same coin. Last October, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hasan Nasrallah gave a brief yet thundering speech unleashing hell on the STL and whoever cooperates with it, insisting that it is an Israeli project targeting the arms and reputation of Hizbullah. His fury came only 24 hours after investigators from the STL invaded a gynecologist’s clinic in the Ouzai suburb of Beirut, where amidst the chaos that ensued, claimed to have been swamped by women who stole their briefcase and documents. Nasrallah said that the entire incident was a violation of ethical, religious, and humanitarian norms, calling on the Lebanese to boycott the STL, which had no business digging into the records of female patients in Beirut. Offering the STL any assistance, Nasrallah said, would be like offering assistance to Israel itself.
Syria and Hizbullah are aware of the dangers posed by the US’s clear, and almost sudden, support for the STL, expressed by its ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice. For almost two years, the US has refused to immerse itself at micro-level in Lebanese affairs, unlike the Bush era, preferring to concentrate instead on bilateral relations with Damascus, peace talks, and Iraq rather than Lebanon. Struggling for the Jewish vote in the upcoming mid-congressional elections this November, however, the Obama Administration is willing to walk that extra mile to make sure that pro-Israeli voters are satisfied with a strong stance against Hizbullah and Syria, using the STL for this specific purpose.

you cited Lockerbie in your story, and how would people react to that here?? Well, let me tell you about how people react to that here. They shine it on. They don’t care that more than 280 people died, due to a CIA bomb gobbed up on a fuselage stringer in the forward cargo hold of that plane, not in a boom box per the setup of Al Magrahi, another patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald was on November 22nd., 1963, ironically, another CIA murder. Just one of many, in that coup d’etat that ended the true American experiment with at least ’5′ rifle shots fired from a myriad of places, including the ‘Grassy Knoll’ there in Dealey Plaza that morning.
And we have a puppet, and I do mean, ‘puppet’ with the full force of what that implies, in the Whore House as I call it, which is appropriate as it is bartered and sold to high paying visitors much in the same way as any prostitute is in any city in any part of the world. Again, it’s another ‘illusion’ of power and strength, when in fact, the wielders of the power and strength are in Tel Aviv and in London. They used to, long ago, be known by the name of Bauer. But the ‘puppet’ at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has no more power, with all his drone murdering and extrajudicial assassination decrees, than any ordinary ‘Punch and Judy’ marionette. He’s controlled by these zionist jews known by their new name, as ROTHSCHILDS.
So, that’s my answer to you. It’s not too short, but it’s clear. The men who blew up your Hariri, were the same men who ostensibly collaborated with the CIA to blow up our John F. Kennedy.
Nothing is what it appears to be. Everything you see and hear and smell is a huge huge collaboration of conspiracy puzzle pieces which are designed to keep you both mollified, and mute, in times of universal deceit and mass murder.
Your picture of Hariri’s murder soon will look amazingly familiar in U.S. cities, as the ‘puppet’ begins to murder U.S. citizens with his robot drones.
All at the behest, of Israel.

Ben Dover is exactly correct and quite eloquent. My first thought upon seeing the bomb site was that it created a huge crater. After working on a demolitions crew for a year, I knew that a car bomb could not create a crater. Explosives would explode outward and upward, leaving a charred mark on the road. A crater can be created by burying the charge and will be very precise to he centimeter. Another way to create a crater is to use a missile which penetrates the road and then explodes outward and upward. The forensic scientists who investigated this assassination and deduced a car bomb did it, should be arrested for being an accessory after the fact. Demolitions are a science (see 9/11 and WTC 7) and the science is being ignored.
The other factor is motive. The Zionists are the obvious perpetrators. It took me 30 seconds to solve this murder at the time.
