Silence kills and silence is complicity

Excellent article, Robert. Key quote for me: \"If we wish to find our prophetic voice, we must have the courage to speak about the crimes of our leaders and also look at ourselves honestly in the mirror. That requires not just courage but humility. It is in that balance of a righteous anger and rigorous self-reflection that we find not just the strength to go on fighting but also the reason to go on living.\" 
 
Professor Walter Davis has explored this American deficiency in requisite human self-inspection and \"empathic inspection of the other\" in his book \"Death\'s Dream Kingdom. The American Psyche Since 9-11\" (see: Book Review: \"Death\'s Dream Kingdom. The American Psyche Since 9-11\" by Walter Davis. 
 
Because the US is a \"democracy\" ALL Americans are guilty of the horrendous carnage in the American Empire, the American Gulag that currently stretches from Occupied Somalia to Predator Robot-bombed Waziristan in formerly \"Britsh\" Pakistan ( avoidable violent and non-violent deaths in post-1950 US Asian wars now total 25 million with the post-invasion Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide totals currently standing at 2 million and 3-6 million, respectively (see: Palestinian, Iraqi, Afghan, Biofuel and Climate Genocides – Silence Kills and Silence is Complicity). 
 
The best analogy I can offer for the American Silence over continuing Mass Murder is this \"Democratic Nazism\" scenario - imagine that Nazi Germany decided to keep the trappings of constitutional democracy (e.g. as propagandists such as Goebbels might have expertly judged possible and as the Establishments of the Western Murdochracies have expertly realized)... there would have been the equivalents of MWC News, Counterpunch, Democracy Now and the New Statesman reporting and deploring Auschwitz and like atrocities but the mainstream would have simply \"looked away\". 
 
IGNORED by Western media (but not by MWC News) and reported this year in the Shanghai Daily (China population 1.3 billion) and by a top Indian publication the MilliGazette (about 200 million Muslim Indians), are the following observations by MWC News correspondent Gideon Polya, QUOTE: 
 
\"the \"annual under-five-year-old infant death rate\" is about the same (about 0.6 percent) in Tibet and China as a whole as compared to 6.2 percent for US- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan, 0.12 percent for occupier Australia and 0.16 percent for occupier United States. 
 
The annual infant death rate in occupied Afghanistan (6.2 percent) is 51 times that in occupier Australia, 38 times that in occupier US and similar to the \"annual death rate\" of 10.2 percent for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War II - a war crime for which key Japanese leaders were tried and hanged.\" END QUOTE
