Photos from Britain's Auschwitz

Thanks for your good words, Bill. Here is a shocking photograph of late 19th century Indian famine victims in British India - some of the 1.5 BILLION Indians who died avoidably under 2 centuries of British rule that involved keeping several hundred million Indian Subjects enslaved by forcing them to live \"on the edge\" (see: Famine victims, India, late nineteenth century. BE VERY ANGRY about this past atrocity and the present war-, occupation- and climate change- exacerbated, ongoing global avoidable mortality atrocity (16 million avoidable deaths each year) - and the continuing lying, denial, ignoring, holocaust denial, and white-washing - see my books : Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950 and Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History .  
 
The poem by Nobel Prize-winning poet T.S. Eliot, \"The Hollow Men\" is acutely relevant here ( for the full poem see: \"The Hollow Men\" by T.S. Eliot)- it begins, QUOTE:  
 
\"A penny for the Old Guy 
 
I 
 
We are the hollow men 
We are the stuffed men 
Leaning together 
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! 
Our dried voices, when 
We whisper together 
Are quiet and meaningless 
As wind in dry grass 
Or rats\' feet over broken glass 
In our dry cellar 
 
Shape without form, shade without colour, 
Paralysed force, gesture without motion; 
 
Those who have crossed 
With direct eyes, to death\'s other Kingdom 
Remember us - if at all - not as lost 
Violent souls, but only 
As the hollow men 
The stuffed men.\" END QUOTE. 
 
His poem finally concludes with the very famous lines, QUOTE: 
 
\"Here we go round the prickly pear 
Prickly pear prickly pear 
Here we go round the prickly pear 
At five o\'clock in the morning. 
Between the idea 
And the reality 
Between the motion 
And the act 
Falls the Shadow 
For Thine is the Kingdom 
Between the conception 
And the creation 
Between the emotion 
And the response 
Falls the Shadow 
Life is very long 
Between the desire 
And the spasm 
Between the potency 
And the existence 
Between the essence 
And the descent 
Falls the Shadow 
For Thine is the Kingdom 
For Thine is 
Life is 
For Thine is the 
 
This is the way the world ends 
This is the way the world ends 
This is the way the world ends 
Not with a bang but a whimper.\" 
 
END QUOTE. 
 
Scientists such as myself are drawn to the interpretation of this as mass death from disease and starvation rather than from the blood-letting of \"cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war\" - or an intellectual and moral death as in the Western Murodchracies in which fear-, greed- and exceptionalism-driven censorship, lying, ignoring, and denial mean that the Establishment ignores the 16 million annual deaths from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease.  
 
T.S. Eliot wrote \"The Hollow Men\" in 1925 and may evoke through \"with a bang\" violent deaths in hails of machine gun bullets or in artillery barrage on the Western Front as compared to death \"with a whimper\" as the end from the over-reacting immunological \"cytokine storm\" elicited by the deadly H1N1 influenza virus strain that killed 20-100 million people in the 1918-1920 influenza epidemic. (En passant, this epidemic is in part why I am here; my maternal grandmother, a hospital nurse, met and cared for my doctor grandfather who had contracted the disease in about 1918 while also caring for Spanish flu victims].
