beautiful gift from the BBC by Ken O'Keefe

If you haven't seen it, look for BBC Panorama's 
<http://uprootedpalestinians.blogspot.com/2010/08/gilad-atzmon-bbc-panorama-exemplary.html>"Death 
in the Med" program online, you will be treated to first class 
propaganda as only the BBC can deliver.

I am one of the passengers/witnesses interviewed for this program and 
I am very much aware of BBC's role in justifying war and covering up 
Israeli crimes.

I am in no way naive about this; to the contrary my motivation for 
the interview lay largely in the all too likely opportunity to expose 
the BBC. A relevant job considering the BBC's role in the slaughter 
of over one million Iraqi's, a direct role by virtue of the war they 
justified. BBC from start to present, justifying Iraq, a massive war 
crime and crime against humanity based entirely on lies (propagated 
intensely by the BBC).

The British Broadcasting Corporation, synonymous with millions of 
orphans and refugees and countless lives destroyed in Iraq, beating 
the drums of war without pause, the ultimate prostitutes of propaganda.

That was the deal, a deal I made with an audio recorder in service.

And yes the poor Israeli commandos were beaten, just as any invader 
in any capable persons home would be beaten. I take no issue with that fact.

But truth be told, the commandos we captured should thank us for 
their lives. I ask the Israeli's, British and American people 
specifically, if your home was invaded, your family being murdered, 
would you be willing to disarm, completely control, and then set a 
murderer of your family free???

You can lie to yourself if you like, bury that head right down deep 
in the sand, but that ship was our home, and we were all brothers and 
sisters, aunties and uncles, united, a family, engaged in a most 
righteous cause, with the vast majority of the planet behind us. The 
primary beneficiary of our mission, over 800,000 innocent children.

For those lost in a pit of ignorance and indoctrination, those 
currently stripped of all reason, absent of conscience, duped and 
hoodwinked, I know you very well because I was once you, a US Marine 
robot volunteering to kill or be killed. I see my past self in the 
Zionist who has no capacity at this moment to think, for in that 
state it is all about regurgitation, independent thought is but a 
possibility. For you I maintain no hate, for nobody actually, rather 
it is pity, pity for you that you sacrifice the greatest gift of all, 
the gift of humanity.

And so it is that the BBC, absent of integrity, contemptuous of 
humanity, attempts in this program to turn disarmed, helpless Israeli 
commandos into heroic self-rescuing commandos who managed to Superman 
their way out of a circle of well over 100 very motivated men whose 
brothers lay murdered with multiple gunshot wounds. That is what we 
call a bald-faced lie. Big time lie, in your face lie, you in the 
audience are a bunch of drooling idiots lie.

Returning from the Zionist alternate universe, we held in our power 
the fate of three boy commandos who may well have been murderers on 
that night. Think about that, under these circumstances, we let them 
go. That is what we call preserving life.

It is not that BBC does not know the truth, there are literally 
hundreds of witnesses and overflowing facts to reveal it; it is 
simply BBC's slavish duty to produce a Zionist storyline of illusions 
and deceptions. And the story goes that we are the aggressors, 
"terrorists", "extremists" and killers. Only in this context can the 
poor Israeli commandos be victims. How is it possible to dominate and 
control commandos simply to let them go if we are killers? Answer, it 
isn't. And that is precisely why Panorama blatantly lied.

Ah but the irony, the kind of irony that always provides me a smile 
from the inside out, the irony of these lies being big, beautiful 
gifts. In all sincerity, thank you BBC.

The BBC says there is doubt as to who fired first. There is no doubt 
at all who shot who and when to the hundreds of us on the Mavi 
Marmara and other ships. The Israelis have said we shot at them, well 
where are their gunshot wounds? And even if you have gunshot wounds, 
how do we know you did not shoot yourselves? Exactly like you did in 
"Operation Cast Lead"?

Returning once again from the Zionist alternate universe, the Israeli 
military attacked in international waters and murdered within the 
first five minutes of the attack. The attack resulting in scores of 
gunshot wounds and death in rapid succession. Blood spilling all over 
the ship. In that environment I took possession of a 9mm pistol that 
I removed from one of the commandos... and I emptied it of the (real) 
bullets. Other weapons were seized by other brothers and thrown into 
the sea, one of which was an assault rifle.

Yet when others and myself had the power to end life, and believe me 
it was as simple as release the safety, point, shoot, over. Instead 
we preserved life, by taking those weapons away from established 
killers, we prevented them from killing more. We literally saved our 
lives and their lives. That is what we call cold, hard facts.

The BBC mentions that we were in international waters at the very end 
of the story, as if this were an insignificant fact. The fact that 
Israel stole all the footage that it could, footage that undoubtedly 
shows them firing 4 bullets to the head of the 19-year-old American 
passenger, Furkan Dogan. No problem. Executing people at close range, 
no worries. The fact that the blockade itself is illegal, nah, don't 
mention that. 800,000 plus children in Gaza, malnourished, anemic, 
traumatised... not important.

I would need to review this program many times over to identify every 
poisoned tactic that the BBC employed in order to do what they do so 
well, justify murder and war.

Nevertheless BBC's perversion of the truth will elevate the cause of 
justice immensely, delegitimizing itself in such grand fashion was 
indeed a great big gift.

Hats off to ya BBC!
