US Military Tank "Intrudes" Into Bombed 'Doctors Without Borders' Hospital, Destroys Potential Evidence

If you’re the U.S. military and you killed 22 people while intentionally bombing a Doctors Without Border hospital in Afghanistan, what do you do next?

First, you deny all requests for an independent investigation. Check.

Second, you go to the scene of the war crime and destroy evidence. Check mate.

From NBC News:

A U.S. tank “destroyed potential evidence” by forcing its way onto the ruined site of a hospital bombed by American forces in Afghanistan, the charity said.

 

Doctors Without Borders, which ran the facility in Kunduz, said the tank’s “unannounced and forced entry” through the gates had also frightened staff and damaged property.

 

The allegations came almost two weeks after a U.S. AC-130 gunship bombed the compound, killing at least 22 people including 12 members of staff.

 

After the U.S. gave shifting explanations for the incident — which MSF has called a war crime — President Barack Obama apologized to the charity last week. The U.S. and Afghan governments have launched three separate investigations but MSF is calling for an international inquiry.

 

The tank forced its way through the closed main gate of the bombed-out compound at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday (5 a.m. ET), according to the charity. MSF has since pulled out of the derelict site, but said one of its teams arrived earlier on Thursday to visit the crumbling building.

 

It said the tank’s “intrusion” contravened an agreement between MSF and the joint investigation team that the charity would be “given notice before each step of the procedure involving the organization’s personnel and assets.”

 

It added: “Their unannounced and forced entry damaged property, destroyed potential evidence and caused stress and fear for the MSF team.”

 

So I guess now we know why Obama recently announced that he would be halting a planned troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Like bad losers, the USSA neocons/neoliberal humanitarian bombers double down on their criminality by hiding their actions. Bombing a hospital and then concealing the crime is job 1 in the books of the psychopaths controlling our foreign policy.

If I didn't know better, I'd think they were working secretly on behalf of Putin, deliberately destroying whats left of the Amerikan reputation...or rather re inforcing it as an exceptional country, where fascism, force, lies and criminal behavior justify the actions of the bankster elitists that rule the USSA.

This is your Zionist/Talmudic bosses destroying "America" in the eyes of the world.

They want you to be hated, as a people and a nation. Most people cannot separate the idea of America from Americans.

And how can you fight it? All the jew owned media will not allow dissenting voices.

Alternate media/net is also fully in their control.

America is being set up for the great fall and it is sad personally because I know MANY super nice Americans. 

But in the eyes of the world, the great satan is coming good to it's name and few will shed a tear if they see it go down in flames.

It was a nation created by the sword and gun and is now being killed by it....

There is one solution. One single solution and yet all the well meaning intelligensia on this site too will deride/downvote etc.

Stop eating meat. Especially meat that is so cruelly kept and slaughtered that it WILL reflect on and in you. We are what we eat.

The daily creelty practised on millions of animals EVERY DAY in America is the single cause for all the madness and mayhem and people losing their minds....all the tv and meds and other de-humanizing tools come later.

Any wonder America is full of Chiken-shits and Cow-ards?

Harsh truth, face it....right food, right living....

But there will be angry cires and gnashing teeth of biblical justifications and neanderthal Proto diets....ALL BULLSHIT...

Boycott meat, even that killed kindly by thine own hand...

All the diseases, all the schizophrenia, all the mental instability will start to slip away...

A sign, for all those with children: Children initially HATE the taste of meat. MEat addled parents keep on keeping on till a child finally gets used to it and then likes it.

Plus, can you eat RAW meat? Every day....for years? And live?

You can on fruits and vegetables...

 

It really is that simple.

Practise kindness... :-)

btw they announced the trillions lost on 9-10-01.  slow news day.

oh and that same rabbi helped run the israeli company that sold the mechanisms installed on at least some of the hijacked planes that let them be controlled from the ground no matter what the on plane controls did.  the mechanisms were sold as a hijack prevent device (last u.s. highjacking was d.b. cooper in the '70's).  wouldn't put it in a movie; no one would believe it.  he also investigated the earlier wtc bombing in '93.  my but he did get around.

Implied Violins's picture

My guess? And this is just free-flow, off the top of my head half-assed rambling based on what I've read:

There will be a widening of the war overseas, eventually resulting in hot war with Israel/Iran/Russia/China/USA etc. all involved directly. At some point, it will come HERE, in the form of troops on the streets, probably some event precipiating martial law like 'ISIS' or even Russia/Iran/China etc. bombing a city (or multiple cities).

At some point after that - probably once gains have been consolidated for the globalists/enough people have bought the farm, there will be a military coup here, removing O-boy and his crew (and predecessors) with all the evidence of assholery as presented on these pages used to convict these sacrificial lambs as a 'feel-good' moment, possibly even with multiple revlations like JFK, 9/11, vaccines, GMO's, Geoengineering, repression of favorable energy technologies etc. to placate the masses and make it look like 'good is being done.'

Meanwhile, someone with 'sound money policies' will be placed as president (Ron Paul or a knockoff), the FED will be audited/ditched when it is seen that we have NO GOLD whatsoever, and we will be forced to have a national currency for local goods...and, use the SDR (special drawing rights) for international trade...which will be issued under the auspices of the BRICS/BIS/IMF or whatever alphabet letters they use this time - but in the end, the globalists will have what they want: GLOBAL government control, and TOTAL currency control.

Meet your new masters, same as the old masters...

Agreed Iggy.  The key with 9/11 (as with kennedy's assasination) is not who dun it, but the obvious fact there were government cover ups.  Complicity after the fact makes you every bit as guilty as before the fact, under US "law".  It's called conspiracy.

Of course, it helps to know it was Israel and the CIA who dun it (maybe in both cases, I'm starting to realize).  But the most important message is that your government has no problem with killing Americans, lots of them.

I am afraid the USA has become a shameless bully. There now is nothing the Neocons will not resort to. We are learning that the CIA created ISIS, the worst terror group on earth, and hardly tries to hide the fact. This tank incident just sheds light on how the USA is now just a giant version of Isreal! Look at Israel does, and watch the USA do it on a grander scale. This incident reeks of what the IDF does, and the USA military looks up to the IDF as the one force they wish to be like in every way.

Stalin and Mao never tried to hide their tyranny from the people, aiming to use this as a weapon of fear. And, now, the American Empire leveraged by the neocons (neoTrotskites) and Israel makes its despotic moves in public, right in front of the people’s eyes. Could it be that like these despots, they want to add fear to their strategy of surveillance and rule?

And to the question some may ask regarding these Bolsheviks’ methods, Were you there?, Solzhenitsyn would answer, ‘Yes’:

“You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the ‘Russian Revolution.’ It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”

--Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and critic of Communist totalitarianism

"If I didn't know better, I'd think they were working secretly on behalf of Putin, deliberately destroying whats left of the Amerikan reputation..."

In fact there is anecdotal, circumstantial, and hard video evidence that Obama is a deep-cover Russian agent.

Anecdotal: http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/global_elite_picked_obama_171.html

"What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a communist?” she said. “Well, you will; and he will be a communist.”

One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”

“Yes, it is true,” she replied. “This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of presidents. He is what you call ‘Ivy League.’ You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be president.”

Video: Obama's open mike gaffe where he indicates "flexibility" to Putin after 2012 election.

Circumstantial: Obama's 100% perfect track record of undermining and destroying this country. If he was merely incompetent, he'd accidentally do something good for the country once in a while. His record has been relentless and perfect when it comes to destroying the USA.

Interesting and I am sure true. This goes back many centuries in a totally tribal landscape. Just a small side note, I returned from Argentina, and noticed in almost all cities and towns, that even poor people have Iron bars over all windows, Iron gates closing the house off from the street. Iron gate before the front door. I even took pictures of the different styles, from rich homes down to shacks outside the main towns. Everyone with enough money to buy Iron bar has set up window, door and yard barriers. If someone asks, I might even be able to download an example or two!

If you are not using it you must not need it. Leaving your property unprotected without either a guard or stationary perimeter security is not a smart idea.

Hospital bombing in Afghanistan was premeditated, AP reports


By Evan Blake 
16 October 2015

 

New media revelations have confirmed that the US airstrikes against a Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical center in Kunduz, Afghanistan were premeditated and deliberate, constituting a flagrant war crime. The bombings, which lasted for nearly an hour and a half, killed at least 22 civilians, including 12 hospital staff and 10 patients.

Citing an anonymous former intelligence official, the Associated Press reported Thursday that American special operations analysts in Afghanistan had been gathering intelligence on the hospital days before it was destroyed on October 3. The official asserts that the analysts “had assembled a dossier that included maps with the hospital circled,” supposedly because they believed a Pakistani intelligence operative was coordinating Taliban activity from inside the hospital.

The AP report notes, “The intelligence suggested the hospital was being used as a Taliban command and control center and may have housed heavy weapons.” After the attack, “some US analysts assessed that the strike had been justified,” while concluding “that the Pakistani, believed to have been working for his country’s Inter-Service Intelligence directorate, had been killed.”

Usual lies from the psychopathic liars....even if it was true, is killing 100's of innocents worth flushing out one rat? Couldn't the USSA special forces just go into the hospital and capture/chase out the mythical Pakistani?  Amerika's foreign policy makes me want to vomit in shame and disgust.

Because that's what the rats do, they hid behind women and children.  The rats need to learn that they aren't safe wherever they hide.    It up to the OTHERS to know that if rats are hiding in your building, you'd better GTF out becasue the exterminators don't care about you.

LL, that's the bizarre aspect of this case.  Or at least it would have struck me as bizarre, but evidently it is not bizarre because the nutcases running the show were quite fine with blowing up a hospital for the occasion.

Who knows what internecine squabbles were taking place in spookdom for different Deep State factions to come to blows at a hospital.  Still, to call in the airstrike leaves me dumbstruck. 

Obviously it would hit the news, YouTube, etc. and obviously the technicians doing the bidding of the powers that be did not care.

EDITED TO ADD:  Wait, I figured it out.  The tank crew was probably ordered to drop some IED's and a few thousand AK47 cases on the site to prove that 'our' attack was perfectly justified.

Several reasons to question initial reporting here:

1. The US is not currently using tanks in the vast majority of Afghanistan, if at all. More likely, this is an MRAP or other large armored vehicle. The fact that the report doesn't know the difference is potentially telling.

2. We use large vehicle to open compounds all of the time. The fact that it happened to be this building is more than likely a coincidence in an area known to be an active combat zone. The report indicates the damage was limited to the gate... not exactly proof of intent to destroy evidence.

3. We gave a large number of these vehicles to the Afghan army. Could have easily been them.

They pulled them out. The military determined tanks were ineffective in that theater. Doctors and a lot of ZHers call anything with armor a tank. Look at the headline, "US military tank", who the fuck calls a tank a Military Tank? A cilvilian with zero military experience.  Like a French doctor for example. Geez, since the invasion of ZH by this new crew of paid trollers, even normal common sense gets red arrowed. Only the financial stories seem uninfested at this point.

That's more of a denial than I saw earlier, but it's still weak, depending on how Clintoonian you want to get about it, is firing out "fighting", and who says it would be "reported" by "staff"?  But the first press reports lacked even such a statement.

Don’t blame the German people for Hitler’s election.  In the second round of the 1932 election (Weimar Republic law provided that a candidate needed to receive an absolute majority of votes), Paul von Hindenburg of the Independent Party and an incumbent, received 53.1% of the vote, or 19,359,983; Hitler of the National Socialist German Workers Party or Nazi Party (NSDAP), 36.7% or 13,418,517, and Ernst Thalmann of the Communist Party, 10.1% or 3,706,759 votes.

Hindenburg played an unwitting role in the coming to power of the Nazis by appointing Hitler under political pressure as Chancellor of Germany in January 1933. 

Hitler succeeded Hindenburg as head of state only two years later upon Hindenburg's death in 1934. After the president's death Hitler abolished the office entirely to replace it with the new position of Führer und Reichskanzler ("Führer and Reich Chancellor"), and cemented his dictatorship.

Richard Edward Noble, concluded from his review of James Pool’s book on “Who Financed Hitler” that…
“Fear of Communism or anti-Communism was the chief motivational concept behind the rise of Nazism and Adolf Hitler. From the man in the street to the captains of industry and the nobles and aristocrats the hatred, fear, and spirit of anti-Communism was common. Patriotism and nationalism were the second strongest motivational characteristics of Hitler contributors inside Germany.”

And, this, from Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Anthony C. Sutton:

“[The] build-up for European war [WWII] both before and after 1933 was in great part due to Wall Street financial assistance in the 1920s to create the German cartel system, and to technical assistance from well-known American firms ... to build the German Wehrmach.”
