Sunday Globe Insults: Front-Page Funeral

"A harrowing journey over the Mexican border to work illegally in Boston.... He died last month after an alleged hit-and-run on a Brighton street.... By 2002, Zepeda was well-settled in Boston, with a $16-an-hour job hanging drywall and sheet rock"

You know, JOBS Ameicans don't want!

And when was the last time you saw one of these guys on the font-page?

"The deaths in southern Afghanistan brought to 41 the number of US troops killed in July, by far the heaviest monthly toll in the eight-year war.... A UN report released in Geneva yesterday found that 1,013 civilians had been killed between January and June, up from 818 in the same period last year, as the battlefield increasingly moved into residential areas"

And LOOK at what is your FRONT-PAGE FEATURE in the Boston Sunday Globe

"The long journey home; Killed in a Brighton car accident, Fredy Zepeda was buried by the family he tried to lift from poverty but hadn’t seen for years" by Maria Sacchetti, Globe Staff | August 2, 2009

ATESCATEMPA, Guatemala - A harrowing journey over the Mexican border to work illegally in Boston....

He died last month after an alleged hit-and-run on a Brighton street....

Zepeda left behind relatives in the United States who could not attend his funeral because they were also in the country illegally....

It is a sad homecoming that is common among illegal immigrants, many of whom must rely on donations from churches, consulates, and friends to deliver loved ones to their native lands for burial. Foes of illegal immigration say they should not have left their home countries to begin with, but immigrants say poverty propels them to spend painful years apart from their families in the hope that they will eventually prosper and return....

I'm sick of pointing out the New World Order agenda and the pro-illegal, agenda-pushing, one-sided paper, folks. We know what newspapers are now.

*************************

The journey across the Mexican border was agonizing. It took more than a month to cross, because the smugglers kept him for long periods in safehouses, with little water and only canned meat to eat, relatives said, recalling Zepeda’s accounts.

As Zepeda’s group crossed the desert into the United States, one man leaned on him until he could walk no more; they left him where he fell. Zepeda also passed skeletons along the route.

By 2002, Zepeda was well-settled in Boston, with a $16-an-hour job hanging drywall and sheet rock, earning more in an eight-hour day than he earned in a month in Guatemala. But it was expensive to live in Boston and hard to save money. He grew lonely and distant....

Oh, I fel soooo sorry for him!

Against her husband’s wishes, she joined him in Boston and found work as a baby-sitter....

Couldn't an American teenager or out-of-work adult have gotten that job? It's the PAY, isn't it?

In an irony that is common among illegal immigrants, it cost more to bring Zepeda’s body home than it cost to smuggle him into the United States. Returning him to Guatemala left his family more than $7,000 in debt, but they wanted to bring him home to see him one last time....

Yeah, what irony. I'm really laughing.

More than anything, Zepeda had come to the United States for his children....

And how can you argue with that, American, as your children suffer?

One wonders why the Zionist Globe never mentions the pill-popping Jew that ran him down, 'eh?

"Victim’s family gathers at MGH; Man was hit by car in front of his home" by Jazmine Ulloa and John R. Ellement, Globe Correspondent And Globe Staff | July 17, 2009

The driver, Cathy Bergin-August, 47, of Watertown, had a bottle of prescription pills in her rental car that carried a warning label about causing drowsiness, according to a police report filed in court, but she was not charged with driving while impaired or under the influence.

WTF? I hate to even think it, but Je.....

According to the police report, Bergin-August had a prescription bottle with 20 green tablets labeled Clonazepam with her in the car. She told police she takes the medication to treat Tourette syndrome.

Oh, I have that, too! I have the BLOGGER'S VERSION of it!!!

SHIT SCUM COCK-SUCK!!!!

See? Can't help it, especially when I'm being lied to and looted!


The police report noted that the “prescription bottle stated the prescription may cause drowsiness; use care using machines.’’ Police also found an empty bottle of Clonazepam in the car.

Time for an INTERVENTION!!!


Bergin-August has lived in Watertown for the past 30 years and has worked as a nurse’s aide and a home healthcare aide, Carney told the court. Bergin-August’s mother and two grown sons sat in the public gallery yesterday to support her during her arraignment....

Since when has the Globe been so sympathetic to someone who killed illegals, huh?

If a cop did it they would be screaming murder!

Turns out she KILLED THE GUY, something I am NONE TO HAPPY ABOUT!!!!

I may DISAGREE with their illegal presence in our nation; however, that DOES NOT MEAN they deserve to die.


"Man dies day after being struck by car

Fredy E. Zepeda died Thursday night at Massachusetts General Hospital, about 30 minutes after doctors reduced the medication keeping him alive, according to his family’s lawyer, Michael Keohane. Zepeda, 36, suffered serious head injuries Wednesday morning when a driver hit him as he loaded his 1-year-old son into a car on a Brighton street. To raise money to send his body back to Guatemala, The Fredy Zepeda Fund has been established with Bank of America. The driver, Cathy Bergin-August, 47, of Watertown, is scheduled to return to Brighton Municipal Court on Monday to face upgraded charges, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney’s office.

Just wondering WHY she was RELEASED ON BAIL at all, but not really....
some people have connections.

"Homicide charge is levied in Brighton crash; ‘Devastated’ driver released on bail" by Vivian Nereim, Globe Correspondent | July 21, 2009

I guess she will be needing MORE PILLS, the SERIAL OFFENDER!!!!


BRIGHTON - A driver responsible for five car crashes since 2004 pleaded not guilty to a charge of motor vehicle homicide yesterday after the death Thursday of a man she allegedly struck while he put his baby into his car.

Witnesses and all saw it, and yet it is still 'alleged?"

C'mon, Globe. Stop it with the Jewish bias.


Cathy Bergin-August, 47, was also arraigned on a charge of leaving the scene of personal injury resulting in death. Police said that after Zepeda was hit, Bergin-August kept driving for nearly two blocks while another motorist followed her, honking the horn.

God Bless the GOOD SAMARITAIN or she MAY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY!


During her arraignment last week, Carney said Bergin-August was looking for a safe place to pull over. According to the police report from Wednesday’s accident, Bergin-August had two bottles of Clonazepam, a medication she takes for Tourette syndrome, in her car.

Notice how they minimize the pills, folks? The agenda-pushing never stops, no matter what the article, what the issue.


Bergin-August had previously been found responsible for five car crashes since 2004, according to driving records released by the Registry of Motor Vehicles under the state’s public records law.

Then why was she still on the road?

Or maybe one doesn't anymore. I don't.

Need INJURY on top of INSULT, American?

"Fewer Medals of Honor awarded" by Kevin Freking, Associated Press | August 2, 2009

WASHINGTON - The exception is Sergeant Rafael Peralta of San Diego....

Peralta died on Nov. 15, 2004, during fighting in Fallujah, Iraq. The military’s investigation showed he was probably hit by fire from a member of his own unit as they engaged insurgents inside a house.

Witnesses said Peralta, a Mexican immigrant who became a US citizen while in the Marines, fell to the ground face-first after being shot in the crossfire. A fleeing insurgent threw a hand grenade into the room, which bounced off a couch and landed near Peralta’s head.

Fine, then THEY CAN GO DIE for ISRAEL!

Leave the GOOD AMERICAN KIDS OUT of it!

“Sergeant Peralta grabbed the grenade and pulled it underneath him while we took cover,’’ said an unidentified soldier whose name is blacked out as part of the investigative file the military released publicly.

Fallujah, huh?

"U.S. Is Slow to Respond to Phosphorus Charges" by SCOTT SHANE/New York Times November 21, 2005

[My headline said "Defense of Phosphorous Use Turns Into Damage Control." So it's "damage control," not "chemical weapons use," or "war crimes," or anything... unless, of course, an official enemy is accused of such, then, well, you don't even need proof.

And check out the U.S. liars in this piece, too, readers. Enjoy!


Correction Appended

[Yeah, right. By me!]


WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 - On Nov. 8, Italian public television showed a documentary renewing persistent charges that the United States had used white phosphorus rounds, incendiary munitions that the film incorrectly called chemical weapons, against Iraqis in Falluja last year. Many civilians died of burns, the report said.

The half-hour film was riddled with errors and exaggerations, according to United States officials and independent military experts. But the State Department and Pentagon have so bungled their response - making and then withdrawing incorrect statements about what American troops really did when they fought a pitched battle against insurgents in the rebellious city - that the charges have produced dozens of stories in the foreign news media and on Web sites suggesting that the Americans used banned weapons and tried to cover it up.

The Iraqi government has announced an investigation, and a United Nations spokeswoman has expressed concern.

"It's discredited the American military without any basis in fact," said John E. Pike, an expert on weapons who runs GlobalSecurity.org, an independent clearinghouse for military information. He said the "stupidity and incompetence" of official comments had fueled suspicions of a cover-up.

"The story most people around the world have is that the Americans are up to their old tricks - committing atrocities and lying about it," Mr. Pike said. "And that's completely incorrect."

Daryl G. Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association, a nonprofit organization that researches nuclear issues, was more cautious. In light of the issues raised since the film was shown, he said, the Defense Department, and perhaps an independent body, should review whether American use of white phosphorus had been consistent with international weapons conventions.

[Awright, so they used the stuff.

Who the hell cares about "technical terminology?]


"There are legitimate questions that need to be asked," Mr. Kimball said. Given the history of Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons in Iraq, he said, "we have to be extremely careful" to comply with treaties and the rules of war.

At a time when opposition to the war is growing, the white phosphorus issue has reinforced the worst suspicions about American actions.

[This was NOVEMBER of '05, folks!!!!!!!!]

The documentary was quickly posted as a video file on Web sites worldwide. Bloggers trumpeted its allegations. Foreign newspapers and television reported the charges and rebuttals, with headlines like "The Big White Lie" in The Independent of London.

Officials now acknowledge that the government's initial response was sluggish and misinformed.

"There's so much inaccurate information out there now that I'm not sure we can unscrew it," Lt. Col. Barry Venable, a Defense Department spokesman who has handled many inquiries about white phosphorus, said Friday.

The State Department declined to comment for the record, but an official there said privately that the episode was a public relations failure.

The Italian documentary, titled "Falluja: The Hidden Massacre," included gruesome images of victims of the fierce fighting in the city in November 2004. American and Iraqi troops recaptured the city from insurgents, in battles that destroyed an estimated 60 percent of the buildings.

Opening with prolonged shots of Vietnamese children and villages burned by American use of napalm in 1972, the film suggested an equivalence between Mr. Hussein's use of chemical weapons in the 1980's and the use of white phosphorus by the American-led forces.

It incorrectly referred to white phosphorus shells - a munition of nearly every military commonly used to create smoke screens or fires - as banned chemical weapons.

The film showed disfigured bodies and suggested that hot-burning white phosphorus had melted the flesh while leaving clothing intact. Sigfrido Ranucci, the television correspondent who made the documentary, said in an interview this month that he had received the photographs from an Iraqi doctor. "We are not talking about corpses like the normal deaths in war," he said.

Military veterans familiar with white phosphorus, known to soldiers as "W. P." or "Willie Pete," said it could deliver terrible burns, since an exploding round scatters bits of the compound that burst into flames on exposure to air and can burn into flesh, penetrating to the bone.

But they said white phosphorus would have burned victims' clothing. The bodies in the film appeared to be decomposed, they said.

In their first comments after the Nov. 8 broadcast, American officials made some of those points. But they relied on an inaccurate State Department fact sheet first posted on the Web last December, when similar accusations first surfaced.

The fact sheet said American forces had used white phosphorus shells "very sparingly in Falluja, for illumination purposes, and were fired "to illuminate enemy positions at night, not at enemy fighters."

[Remember that! Just used them to "illuminate," right?

Already claimed above that the film DID NOT SHOW phosphorous, so we have two lies on deck.

First denied using it, then said, yeah, we did, but only to "illuminate."]


The Americans stuck to that position last spring after Iraq's Health Ministry claimed it had proof of civilian casualties from the weapons.

After the Italian documentary was broadcast, the American ambassadors to Italy, Ronald P. Spogli, and to Britain, Robert H. Tuttle, echoed the stock defense, denying that white phosphorus munitions had been used against enemy fighters, let alone civilians. At home, on the public radio program "Democracy Now," Lt. Col. Steve Boylan, an American military spokesman, said, "I know of no cases where people were deliberately targeted by the use of white phosphorus."

[O.k. you got that?

FIRST, they claimed they didn't even use W.P., that the film was wrong.

THEN, they said, yeah, we did use them, but just to "illuminate."

NOW, the stock answer is reiterated, and that they didn't use them against people, O.K., reader?

Remember all this, please]


But those statements were incorrect.

[You mean, LIES?!!!!!!]

Firsthand accounts
by American officers in two military journals note that white phosphorus munitions had been aimed directly at insurgents in Falluja to flush them out. War critics and journalists soon discovered those articles.

[O.K, so the lying U.S. has, what, four or five lies going now?

After a while, the old CREDIBILITY takes a hit, doesn't it?

I NO BELIEVE NO MORE, U.S. military!!!!]


In the face of such evidence, the Bush administration made an embarrassing public reversal last week. Pentagon spokesmen admitted that white phosphorus had been used directly against Iraqi insurgents. "It's perfectly legitimate to use this stuff against enemy combatants," Colonel Venable said Friday.

[So, we didn't use them against people, but, well, yeah, WE DID, but you know, we didn't use them against CIVILIANS, right, readers?

RIGHT?]


While he said he could not rule out that white phosphorus hit some civilians, "U.S. and coalition forces took extraordinary measures to prevent civilian casualties in Falluja."

[Oh, I have ABOUT HAD IT!!!!!

Oh, now it is, well, yeah, CIVILIANS COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT!!!!!

You KNOW WHAT'S NEXT, reader, even if this dirtbag spokesman doesn't say it:

WE DIDN'T CARE WHO the W.P. FELL ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!]


Ian Fisher contributed reporting from Rome for this article.


Correction: Nov. 29, 2005, Tuesday:

An article on Nov. 21 about an Italian documentary film accusing the United States of misusing white phosphorus munitions in Iraq referred imprecisely to footage of napalm use in Vietnam. The film shows United States Air Force jets dropping napalm on Vietnamese villages and includes famous footage from 1972 of Kim Phuc Phan Thi, a 9-year-old girl, fleeing after napalm burned her clothing off. But the aircraft that dropped the napalm on her village in 1972 was South Vietnamese, not American.

[Well, they were backed by us and we supplied them with the chemicals and delivery systems (as in Iraq), but what the hey?

We are the WESTERN MSM and we will, by God, OVERLOOK OUR OWN CRIMES -- and ISRAEL'S -- while SPREADING LIES about "enemies!"

How often have you heard of the U.S. chemical bombing of Fallujah in November 2004, readers?

Heck, even this death is more important than a soldiers: Deliveryman dies after robbery

Never mind these: How many civilian deaths are acceptable?

That's why you hide wars.

You can go read it if you want to; I am becoming
increasingly disenchanted with the Boston Globe. I know they are only trying to make the world a better place and look out for you, so I'll stop griping, America.
