Media breakthrough over Coalition war crimes

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio National has broken with mainstream Anglo-American and Australian media by courageously exposing Coalition war crimes through reporting estimates of horrendous avoidable mortality (excess mortality) and under-5 infant mortality in Coalition-occupied Iraq and Afghanistan (for the 28/8 broadcast transcript see here).

Salient statistics quoted include the following from UNICEF (2005) (see: http://www.unicef.org/): in 2003 the under-5 infant mortality was 110,000 in Occupied Iraq, 292,000 in conquered Afghanistan and 1,000 in the occupying country Australia (noting that in 2003 the population of these countries was 25, 24 and 20 million, respectively).

Whether a child dies violently (from bombs or bullets) or non-violently (from avoidable and treatable disease) the end result is the same and the culpability the same. Further, the occupying Ruler is responsible for the Ruled.

The horrendous post-invasion avoidable mortality and under-5 infant mortality in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories (CURRENTLY about 0.4 million and 0.3 million, respectively, in Occupied Iraq and 1.5 million and 1.2 million, respectively, in Occupied Afghanistan) derive from non-provision of requisite life-sustaining resources by the US-led Coalition in gross contravention of the Geneva Conventions (see: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gpolya/links.html).

The World Tribunal on Iraq has charged the UK, US and other Coalition allies with war crimes in Iraq that await justice from the International Criminal Court. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. MWC NEWS READERS should INFORM EVERYONE and similarly RESOLUTELY ATTEMPT to get through the mainstream media "gate" blocking reportage of the horrendous human consequences of Anglo-American "democratic imperialism" (democratic Nazism) and UK-US state terrorism.
