1. We all know about the Jewish Holocaust (6 million victims) but what was a man-made process that killed a similar number of people during World War 2 and was due to “our” side? This event killed about 4 million people; caused a 1940s demographic deficit in the victim country of about 10 million; may have been due to a deliberate British “scorched earth policy”; and was associated with large-scale military and civilian sexual abuse of women and girls [1].

2. Australia has been involved in all the post-1950 US Asian Wars and about 1,000 Australian soldiers gave their lives in these conflicts. However the most obvious feature of modern high technology US warfare is the minimization of politically-sensitive military casualties at the expense of horrendous “enemy civilian casualties”. How many Asians have died avoidably associated with post-1950 US Wars? The answer can be found by going to publicly-accessible UN demographic statistics for the post-1950 period and calculating “avoidable mortality” (excess mortality; deaths that didn’t have to happen),  which is the difference between the actual deaths in a country and the deaths expected for a peaceful, decently-run country with the same demographics [2].

3. According to the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilians in Time of War (especially Articles 55 and 56), Occupiers are unequivocally required to keep their Conquered Subjects ALIVE. UNICEF provides annual updates of demographics relating to Children for essentially every country in the world (on the Web, several clicks away).  In the Third World, under-5 year old infant deaths are about 90% avoidable and constitute about 0.7 of “avoidable mortality”. Australia is part of the Occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. How many under-5 year old infants die every year, every day, every minute in these US-Coalition-Australian-occupied Territories? [3]

If you would like me to run a daily/weekly snappy 100 word column with ONE such documented example each time for your News medium (suggested titles range from “Truth Uncovered” , “Kick the Ostrich”, “1984 Now”, “Ignorance is Strength”, “Media Lying”, “History Watch”, “Lying by Omission” to “Lies = State Terrorism”) please let me know ASAP.

Or do Australians actually BELIEVE that our Children, students, the general public, our Parliaments and even our Courts should be LIED to in the “National Interest”?

How did you do? Put the QUIZ to your friends – see how they do. And don’t get mad, get even - by INFORMING OTHERS. We cannot walk by on the Other Side. We cannot tolerate Compulsory Lying to our Children. We cannot allow the further descent of our ostensibly “free” societies into an Orwellian Nightmare in which “War is Peace, Slavery is Freedom, Ignorance is Strength and 2 plus 2 does not equal 4”. Make a Hole in the Wall of Silence.
