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.
