Americans’ abuse killing American, Muslims & World Children
Rape is about POWER (according to psychiatric experts) and the following statistics show that sick, psychotic, violent, irrational, nuclear-armed Bush-ite Amerika (for all its nauseatingly hypocritical Religious Right mouthings) is raping American children on a massive scale and is grossly complicit in horrendous avoidable deaths of under-5 year old infants: 0.1 million American infants (over the last 5 years of the Bush Administration); 0.2 million Palestinian infants (since the invasion of the West Bank and Gaza); 0.5 million Iraqi infants (since the invasion of Iraq); 1.7 million Iraqi infants (since the imposition of Sanctions in 1990); 1.8 million Afghan infants (since the invasion of Afghanistan); and 10 million global “avoidable under-5 infant deaths” annually.
FACT SHEET:
(a) American sexual abuse of American children
In an adult retrospective US study victimization was reported by 27% of women (1 in 4) and 16% of men (1 in 6); median age for abuse: 9.9 for boys and 9.6 for girls; 42% of the women and 33% of the men reported never having disclosed the experience to anyone; there are about 60 million US adult survivors of child sexual abuse (1993), corresponding to 69 million out of a total population of 300 million (2007) (Data from Prevent Abuse Now, 2000 ). Terrorism indeed.
(b) Avoidable deaths of American infants under the Bush Administration
The “annual under-5 infant death rate” (2003 figures) is 0.17% in the US (annual per capita income $38,000) – exactly the same as in Cuba (annual per capita income $1,200) – but is only 0.07% in Singapore (annual per capita income $21,000; the best infant mortality result in the World). Assuming that the richest country on earth should have the lowest infant mortality, one can readily calculate that the warped, warmongering policies of the Bush Administration have cost the lives over 0.1 million under-5 year old American infants over 5 years (see MWC News ). Terrorism indeed.
(c) Bush American complicity in post-invasion deaths of Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan infants
Analysis of the latest demographic data from the UN Population Division yields the following estimates of “post-invasion under-5 year old infant deaths” (as of January 2007): 0.2 million (Occupied Palestine), 0.5 million (Occupied Iraq) and 1.8 million (Occupied Afghanistan) or 2.5 million under-5 year old Arab/Muslim infant deaths in total; about 90% of these under-5 infant deaths have been avoidable (i.e. 2.3 million post-invasion avoidable under-5 infant deaths as compared to 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis in WW2). US-Israeli State Terrorism (USIST) indeed.
(d) Bush American complicity in global infant mortality
America is in charge of the flight deck of Spaceship Earth. The US has 4.7% of the world’s population but consumes about 20% of total World resources (as estimated from 2003 GDP figures). Yet Cuba with an annual per capita income of about $1,200 has the same “annual under-5 infant death rate“ as the US (0.17%). To bring every country up to an annual per capita income of $1,000 would “cost” $1.4 trillion (2.5% of world GDP) and, coupled with peace (Amerika brings war), female literacy (Amerika brings male violence) and good governance (Amerika brings oligarchic corruption), this would abolish global avoidable mortality and global avoidable infant mortality in particular.
Yet profligate Bush America has other priorities – thus it has been estimated by 2001 Economics Nobel Laureate US Professor Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia) and Professor Linda Bilmes (Harvard) that the accrual cost of the Iraq War to the US taxpayer is $2.3 trillion but the “total annual per capita medical expenditure” permitted by the Occupier America in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories is only about $58 and $16, respectively (see MWC News ).
The “annual global under-5 year old infant mortality” is 10.6 million (2003 figures) or about 10 million avoidable under-5 infant deaths annually.
What Would Jesus Do (WWJD)?
The Holy Bible, Mark, Chapter 9 (King James Version):
36- And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37- Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38- And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39- But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40- For he that is not against us is on our part.
41- For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42- And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck , and he were cast into the sea.
43- And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45- And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47- And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into fire:
48- Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49- For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50- Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
What can decent people do?
We cannot ignore the plight of the little ones. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Decent people are obliged (a) to inform everyone about gross human rights abuses such as Amerikan mass child abuse and mass pedocide and (b) to act ethically in all their dealings with those complicit in such abominations. Decent people throughout the world must do what they can to help decent Americans wrest their once-great nation from the hands of the evil Bush-ite child abusers.
