Diego Garcia.

[Bluegrass]

An excelent John Pilger Documentary (2004) on Diego Garcia Island. 45 min. well worth of your time.

"There are times when one tragedy, one crime tell us
how a whole system works behind its democratic façade,
and it help us understand how much of the world is run
for the benefit of the powerful, and how governments
often justify its actions with lies..."
John Pilger - Stealing A Nation. 2004.

The origin of this base, better explains its present use. It hasn´t been a single injustice, but a series of injustices, caused not by the american or british people, rather by the new rogue order, indistinguishable in its methods from the old cronies order.

I hope justice will be made one day.

Yes for sure the Uk and the US government are not Christian governments at all. So who are the real terrorists, anyone who doesn`t agree with them. War, what is it good for?

I posted this on the missing Malaysian plane thread, when
we were looking at Diego Garcia. A definite scandal that
the UK/US should be ashamed of.......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This tells you the importance of the Island and the conspiracy carried out to remove
the population, with threats their pets were gassed and it was made clear if they
did not go they would suffer a similar fate. A sad tale of two countries not wanting
to take responsibility of 2000 expendable souls who were just in the way. They
are UK citizens, we have taken in millions of refugees and others into the UK since
1971 and the US could have easily taken them in. This was a conspiracy to pretend
nothing happened and not pay proper compensation.

In 2000 the population won a court case at the High court in London ruling
that they had been unlawfully removed from their land. The victory was short
lived and the foreign office stepped in with more bureaucratic crap to stop
them returning to there homes, even for a visit in fear of upsetting the US.

Blair then brought in a little known act using the Queen to decree the islanders
were never allowed home. What this tells us is ( what we all knew) governments
lie, bureaucrats lie, military lie or 'spin' or diplomacy as they would say.....

'Stealing A Nation' (2004) is an extraordinary film about the plight of the Chagos
Islands, whose indigenous population was secretly and brutally expelled by British
Governments in the late 1960s and early 1970s to make way for an American
military base. The tragedy, which falls within the remit of the International Criminal
Court as "a crime against humanity", is told by Islanders who were dumped in the
slums of Mauritius and by British officials who left behind a damning trail of Foreign
Office documents.

Before the Americans came, more than 2,000 people lived on the islands in the
Indian Ocean, many with roots back to the late 18th century. There were thriving
villages, a school, a hospital, a church, a railway and an undisturbed way of life.
The islands were, and still are, a British crown colony. In the 1960s, the
government of Harold Wilson struck a secret deal with the United States to hand
over the main island of Diego Garcia. The Americans demanded that the
surrounding islands be "swept" and "sanitized". Unknown to Parliament and to the
US Congress and in breach of the United Nations Charter, the British Government
plotted with Washington to expel the entire population.

====================================================

No Happy Ending.....judges in Strasbourg rejected their case.....The Bureaucrats
of Europe agree with their bureaucratic brothers.......

Case dismissed: islanders 'waived' claim to Chagos

A group of islanders “callously and shamefully” evicted from their homeland by
Britain received a bitter blow yesterday in their marathon legal battle for the right
to return when judges in Strasbourg rejected their case.

The Chagos Islanders, 1,500 of whom were thrown off their archipelago in the
1960s and 1970s when Britain handed Diego Garcia over to the US to use as a
military base, had fought their way to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
But the judges ruled their case inadmissible, as they had already received
compensation and waived their right to further claims.

In 1982, the Thatcher government paid compensation to the islanders in a full and
final settlement of all their claims. But they insist that many of those who signed
with a simple thumbprint were illiterate and desperate for money, unaware they
were signing away their right of return. The exiled Chagossians lost their case

before the House of Lords in 2008 and appealed to Strasbourg.

But yesterday, the ECHR said the case had been settled definitively in UK
courts: “In accepting and receiving compensation, the applicants had effectively
renounced bringing any further claims to determine whether the expulsion and
exclusion from their homes had been unlawful and breached their rights.”

Last night, the UK Chagos Support Association said: “Now that the European Court
of Human Rights has decided that it does not have jurisdiction, we appeal to the
Coalition Government to stand by their pre-election promises to bring about a just
and fair settlement to one of the great tragedies of the 20th century, perpetrated
by the UK on the defenceless.”

We speak of law and justice as if they were living caring beings.Who is law and justice? It doesn't seem they are doing there jobs well enough to decide what is feasible for us.Can true justice be found here.Elusive law and justice,when asked no one knows them or where they are when needed.

[Kryztian]

There is this idea that our civilization was savage 100 and 200 years ago, when slavery was practiced, when we deprived the Native Americans of their lands, when we deprived people of rights and property because of their race, but now, the West is the shining beacon of justice and democracy. Clearly horrific acts are still being done today, and what happened in Chagos is such a glaring example of the barbarism that the U.S.A. and the U.K. are capable of.

Absolutely nothin'! HUAH! ... say it again... Huu! :D

Look back to the list of 20 court cases on special appearance the meaning is clear, what you are arguing is you don't want to be a part of their system. Then they would have to operate according to their already existing RIGHTS. Instead they got sucked in to the ILLUSION. To go to the court and ask a judge who is part of the same system that just robbed you blind is INSANITY, a plea of ignorance. Is to suggest that court and that judge has jurisdiction over you!!!???

They should have stayed and fighted and invited every journalist and photographer on the planet with free airfare and accommodation. Stood their ground, as soon as they went to that court THEY GAVE UP their RIGHTS. Why do you think they killed the cats and dogs first... It was all part of an illusion... Legally they can win killing pets in court, do you think they could win killing 2000 people in front of a 1000 newspapers around the world? Same old, same old, dirty tricks, fear, intimidation, massaging the "legal system" to their advantage... and getting the other party to play along... the first case they won was probably a setup... to get them sucked in...

Our governments do not represent us (the people) , in fact it is proved that they follow an agenda and represent their cabal (from Vatican to Kings & Queens and from other non-human entities) , I just hope there is justice somewhere in the near future ... and that we (as people) learn to not believe on our governments and its B.S values and symbolisms (such as patriotism, flags ... ) Enlightenment has many facetes and one of them is on the ability to remake all our believe systems (including those propagated by our governments and media). We live in a prison planet (copyright to that for Alex Jones, but that is the best way to put it) and this is the first step (to realize that) if we want to be free and make our own better future.
