US Silence over American Gulag

Excellent article, Ben.  
 
Key summation: \"Why is it that here in America we don\'t produce notable figures, heroes of humankind? Do we prefer not to be \"snitches\" to those who commit crimes, not to be \"traitors\" to the ugly face our country may show at times; this, when in truth we really are, maybe without realizing it, whitewashers of crimes… and traitors to our own humanity?\" 
 
Obviously America DOES produce millions of good, decent, courageous, \"ordinary\" folk who variously stand up against evil, the Rosa Parks of this world and the scores of thousands who fled to Canada because they refused to be part of the mass murder of Asian women and children (excess deaths associated with post-1945 US Asian wars now total 25 million, mostly women and children).  
 
However when you make a list of great writers and artists who unambiguously stood up for Humanity (I can\'t think of any politicians except for people such as Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Ramsey Clark, Martin Luther King and their fellow activists) one has a very short list e.g. the likes of Paul Robeson, Paul Craig Roberts, Mark Weissbrot, Toni Morrison, Jane Fonda, Arthur Miller, Mike Mooore, Linus Pauling, Curtis Doebbler, Paul Ehrlich, humanitarian scientists and in particular those behind the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Carson McCullers, I.F. Stone, Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, Norman Finkelstein, Bertell Ollman, Noam Chomsky, William Blum, John Perkins, Phillip Agee...  
 
And let\'s not forget our \"own\" MWC News-linked Professor Marjorie Cohn and Professor Walter Davis ...  
 
A key action of Alexander Solzhenitsyn was his May 1967 open letter to the Fourth Congress of the Writers’ Union of the USSR in which he said: “I call upon the Congress to demand and insist on the abandonment of all forms of censorship…” 
 
However where are the great men and women who protest the NUMERICAL ACTUALITY of the carnage of the American Gulag that stretches (with a few interruptions) from Occupied Somalia to Occupied Afghanistan and Predator Robot-bombed Waziristan in formerly \"British\" Pakistan. 
 
Thus, using estimates from the UN Population Division, UNICEF and top US medical epidemiologists, it is estimated that the continuing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide involve post-invasion excess deaths of 0.3 million, 2 million, and 3-6 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths of 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and refugees totalling 7 million, 4.5 million and 4 million, respectively) (for recent details and documentation see: Palestinian, Iraqi, Afghan, Biofuel and Climate Genocides – Silence Kills and Silence is Complicity. 
 
Leading Americans who have referred to the \"Iraqi Genocide\" per se - ONLY Dr Mark Weissbrot (Just Foreign Policy) and Dr Paul Craig Roberts (conservative Father of Reaganomics), as far as I know. 
 
Leading Americans who have referred to the \"Afghan Genocide\" per se - ONLY Professor Ali Khan (law professor, Topeka, Kansas), as far as I know. 
 
Where are the American Solzhenitsyns to expose the American Gulag?
