Americans’ Choice: Humanity Vs Racist Genocide & Terracide
THE MID-TERM US ELECTIONS give American voters a choice that was not an option for German citizens of the violent, racist, imperialistic, genocidal and world-threatening Nazi Reich – a choice between decency, egalitarian humanity and peace on the one hand and on the other a thoroughly evil package of racism, politically correct racism, violence, genocide, ethnocide, passive genocide, mass murder, mass pedocide (paedocide), ecocide and indeed terracide. Americans voting for the Racist Religious Right Republican (R4) Bush-ites will be voting for pure evil.
The evil of the Bush Administration has demanded new terminology and some of these terms require amplification, as provided below.
RACISM involves doing to other races what you wouldn’t do to your own. Thus not letting an Arab eat in your New York restaurant is clearly racism; causing the otherwise avoidable deaths of 0.9 million Arabs in Iraq since 2003 and 0.3 million Arabs in Palestine since 1967 is certainly racism – a racism that is driven by anti-Arab anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racist Zionism as well as commercial greed and imperial hubris.
POLITICALLY CORRECT RACISM is a form of racism practiced most notoriously by the Anglo-Celtic democracies. Domestically these societies and their Governments make politically correct noises about non-racism, but as outlined above are guilty of horrendous crimes against other races abroad – crimes that would be utterly unacceptable if applied, for example, to Europeans. The closest the Anglo-Celtic democracies have come to humanitarian crimes against Europeans in the last half century was in the bombing of Serbia.
GENOCIDE involves partly or completely getting rid of a particular race from the patch of the Planet they are inhabiting. Thus the UN has found that 100,000 Arab Iraqis flee Iraq – their OWN country – each month; there are 6 million Arab Palestinian refugees in the Middle East alone; 0.7 million fled in 1948; 0.3 million fled in 1967; 80,000 Arab Palestinians fled the Holy Land last year; 80% of Arab Christians in Bethlehem have fled; 70% of West Bank Arab Christians have been forced out by US-backed violent, racist Zionism which has been ethnically cleansing the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley – a Palestinian Genocide in which the US is intimately complicit.

The closest the Anglo-Celtic democracies have come to humanitarian crimes against Europeans in the last half century was in the bombing of Serbia.
ETHNOCIDE is the partial or complete extinction of ethnicity and is a sub-category of genocide outlined above. The US-backed Israeli state as a Jewish state denies the ethnic self-determination of the Indigenous inhabitants (both within Israel and in the remainder of the Holy Land illegally occupied by Israel with US support) and of the 6 million Palestinian refugees who will never see their homeland again unless the US ceases its support for racist zionism.
If you doubt the seriousness of this in International Law simply read the first 3 Articles of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention:
Article I. The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war, is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and punish.
Article II. In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Article III. The following acts shall be punished: a) Genocide; b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; d) Attempt to commit genocide; e) Complicity in genocide.
MASS MURDER is causing the deaths of large numbers of people. Thus the post-invasion excess deaths in Occupied Iraq have been estimated by a top US medical epidemiology/biometrics research group from Johns Hopkins at 0.7 million. However using their data and a baseline based on Iraq’s impoverished neighbors Jordan and Syria one can calculate a figure of 0.9 million. The post-invasion excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that should not have happened) total 18 million (post-1950 US Asian wars), 0.3 million (Occupied Palestine), 0.9 million (Occupied Iraq) and 2.1 million (Occupied Afghanistan) (see MWC News ).
If you doubt the seriousness of this mass murder (active mass murder and passive mass murder or passive genocide) and its gross violation of International Law read the following excerpts from the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1950):
“Article 55. To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate …
Article 56. To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and maintaining , with the cooperation of the national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry out their duties …”.
DEMOCRATIC IMPERIALISM, DEMOCRATIC TYRANNY & DEMOCRATIC NAZISM. . Of course Bush and Blair justify their war criminal acts by something called “democratic imperialism” by their intellectual supporters i.e. forcible imposition of “democracy” on non-Europeans, starting (accidentally on purpose) with oil-rich Muslim countries and their neighbors. Of course this “latest excuse” for the invasion of Iraq is also a LIE – over 90% of Iraqis want the US-UK Coalition to leave and one supposes nearly 100% want their infants to survive (but the US , UK and their lackey Racist White Australia) ignore these overwhelming “democratic” wishes of the Iraqi people. Thus the UK, US and Australia won’t leave and 122,000 Iraqi infants die each year (90% avoidably) due to the policies of Bush, Blair and Howard. Democratic Imperialism is in fact Democratic Tyranny and Democratic Nazism in the light of the appalling human consequences.
PEDOCIDE (PAEDOCIDE) is the killing of Children. Consult the UNICEF website and you will quickly discover that 0.5 million under-5 year old infants die each year in the Occupied Iraq and Afghan Territories (1,300 daily, ONE PER MINUTE, 90% avoidably and largely due to US, UK and Australian war crimes through non-provision to their Conquered Subjects of the life-sustaining requisites unequivocally demanded of Occupiers by the Geneva Convention articles quoted above).
ECOCIDE & TERRACIDE. However all of the above fades into insignificance compared to the annual avoidable deaths in US-captained Spaceship Earth (an extremely large version of the Titanic) that total 16 million (44,000 daily) due to First World hegemony and deprivation. And this in turn fades into insignificance when we consider the opinion of leading experts such as Professor James Lovelock FRS (author of the Gaia hypothesis), Sir Nicholas Stern (former top economist for the World Bank and author of the recent Stern report on global warming), the Chief Scientist of the UK, and the overwhelming international scientific consensus that the world is facing a global warming crisis that will may kill hundreds of millions and unless properly halted will kill billions .
Yet Bush and Howard continue to simply issue bald, knee-jerk denials. Remarkably, the UK (with England and London acutely threatened by global warming) has broken ranks and the Blair Government is leading the way to address the global warming crisis. The continuing dishonesty, greed, racism and DENIAL of Bush America and Howard Australia (the US and Australia being among the world’s top per capita greenhouse gas polluters) is still continuing to cause Ecocide (destruction of ecosystems) and to threaten the death of the planet biosphere as we know it – i.e. TERRACIDE.
Many Germans in 1945 could claim that they “didn’t know” that the Jewish Holocaust was happening (after all the German media would hardly have advertised the fact and indeed deportees to Auschwitz and other death camps were often elaborately deceived about their fate). However Americans – notwithstanding egregious lying by omission by racist, holocaust-denying, corporate Mainstream media – are being increasingly exposed to information about the horrendous death toll in the Bush Wars. Further, the evidence of their own senses tells them that the world is warming – and now that World King-maker and media mogul Rupert Murdoch has discovered the reality of global warming (evidently concerned, as we all are, for the fate of children, and grandchildren etc) the mainstream media are making a lot more of this critical issue.
Americans who are aware of these horrendous realities and human rights violations and yet who knowingly support the Racist Religious Right Republican (R4) Bush-ites will be knowingly voting for Racism, Politically-correct Racism, Violence, Genocide, Ethnocide, Passive Genocide, Mass Murder, Mass Pedocide (Paedocide), dishonest and racist Democratic Imperialism, Democratic Tyranny, Democratic Nazism, Ecocide, and the ultimate crime of TERRACIDE. The choice is theirs. Decent folk have a few days left to let them know.
