8 Million Deaths & Media Holocaust Denial
The 6th anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan is approaching. This horrendous war crime was committed ostensibly in response to the 9/11 atrocity in which 3,000 people died. 
Ben Heine/ MWC NEWS
While the egregiously dishonest and violent Bush Administration asserts that this atrocity was committed by Muslim Men in Caves, nobody has been arraigned and tried and there is a large body of available evidence that the US or US surrogates (Israelis?) were complicit in this crime (e.g. see Scholars for 9/11 Truth: http://st911.org/ ). As a scientist for 4 decades I have great problems with the official version e.g. how did the completely undamaged top 20 floors of the South Tower (the tower last hit, with minimal fires and the first to fall) topple to 30 degrees and then suddenly, in about 10 seconds, all the squillions of tons of concrete and steel of these floors become transformed into fine powder? This is blatantly consistent with the hypothesis of US-complicit explosive demolition (see: here ).
While Mainstream media continue to trumpet the judicially-untested, and reason-, chemistry-and physics-defying “official 9/11 version” of the endlessly lying Bush Administration (aka the OCT, the Official Conspiracy Theory), they ignore the horrendous human consequences of the subsequent Bush II War on Terror – 6 million post-invasion excess deaths as adjudged from the data of world’s best practice, expert UN and American demographers and medical epidemiologists. Indeed the Bush Asian Wars – the continuing US-backed Israeli Occupations (Occupied Lebanon and Occupied Palestine excess deaths 0.4 million), (the Bush I Gulf War (0.2 million Iraqi violent deaths), the Bush I-Clinton I-Bush II Sanctions War (1.7 million excess deaths), the Bush II Iraq War (2.0 million excess deaths), the Bush II Afghan War (3.2 million excess deaths) and the post-2001 world opiate drug deaths due to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed opium industry (0.5 million deaths) now yields a total of 8 million deaths in the Bush Family Asian Holocaust.
A bottom-line measure of the consequences of human actions is provided by excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that should not have happened, excess mortality, avoidable mortality). Excess deaths can be violent (from bombs and bullets) or non-violent (due to deprivation). Analysis of the carnage of the Bush Asian Wars is given below (for detailed and documented analyses of excess deaths from violence and deprivation in these conflicts see “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya/).
2. US-backed Apartheid Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza (1967-2007) [0.31 million] – 1957-2007 excess deaths in the Occupied Palestinian Territory totalled about 0.3 million; about 10,000 Palestinians were violently killed (5,000 in the 2000-2007 Second Intifada period alone).
3. US Gulf War (1990-1991) [0.2 million] – an estimated 0.2 million violent Iraqi deaths due to the Bush I Gulf War. 
Carlos Latuff/ MWC NEWS
4. US Sanctions War (1990-2003) [1.7 million] – an estimated 1.7 million Iraqi excess deaths occurred in the period 1990-2003 under the Bush I-Clinton I-Bush II Sanctions; the number of under-5 infant deaths in this period totalled 1.2 million (roughly 90% of these deaths were avoidable).
5. US Afghanistan War (2001-2007) [3.2 million] - excess deaths from UN Population Division data total 2.5 million; however excess deaths determined from under-5 infant deaths and dividing by 0.7 total 3.2 million (see 'Layperson’s Guide to Counting Iraq Deaths' on MWC News: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5872/26/ ).
6. US Iraq War (2003-2007) [2.0 million] – 1.2 million post-invasion violent deaths (from the latest UK ORB survey) plus 0.8 million post-invasion non-violent excess deaths (from UNICEFunder-5 year old infant mortality data; see #5 above).
7. Global opiate drug-related deaths due to US actions [0.5 million] - 0.1 million people die each year around the world (0.6 million over 6 years) from opiate drug-related causes. Accordingly, about 0.5 million have died avoidably since 9/11 from opiate drug-related causes due to the UK-US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry from about 5% of world market share in 2001 to a current 93% (see UN Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC, 2007 World Drug Report).
We can thus assess the human cost of the Bush I and Bush II Asian Wars at 0.06 + 0.31 + 0.2 + 1.7 + 3.2 + 2.0 + 0.5 million = 7.97 million = 8 million.
A major contributor to the carnage in Occupied Palestine, Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan is the war criminal failure of the Occupiers to supply life-sustaining requisites as demanded unequivocally by the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. Thus, according the World Health Organization (WHO), the “annual total per capita medical expenditure” permitted in Occupied Iraq by the US Coalition is $135 (2004) as compared to $19 (Occupied Afghanistan), $2,560 (UK), $3,123 (Australia) and $6,096 (the US).
The US Alliance Occupier countries are involved in both active genocide and passive genocide in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories - see the recently published “Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics” (editor. Robyn Williams, ABC Books, Sydney 2007; and especially “Australian Complicity in Iraq Mass Mortality” by Dr Gideon Polya) and “Body Count’ (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007).
The Bush Asian Holocaust death toll of 8 million exceeds that of the Jewish Holocaust, the WW2 Nazi German-inflicted Jewish Genocide (6 million deaths, 5 million murdered and 1 million dying from deprivation) and that of the largely un-reported, “forgotten”, man-made, British-inflicted Bengali Holocaust (Bengal Famine, Bengali Genocide) of World War 2 British India (4 million excess deaths).
History ignored yields history repeated. Currently Mainstream media - non- reportage of the Bush Asian Holocaust (8 million victims) coupled with their Zionist- and Racist Bush-ite-beholden, Islamophobic, “terror hysterical” war-mongering is acutely threatening Iran with comparable devastation. Remote, peaceful Iran has a population of over 70 million (three quarters of whom are Women and Children).
Stand up for Humanity - please inform everyone you can before it is too late.

Dr Gideon Polya, MWC News Chief political editor, published some 130 works in a 4 decade scientific career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, New York & London, 2003), and is currently writing a book on global mortality ---

However, with respect, I do not think that the quoted Holocaust figures stand up to scrutiny in the light of recent historical research.
Regards,
Professor Juan Szabo
The death toll I cite for the World War 2 Jewish Holocaust is 6 million (5 million killed, 1 million dying from deprivation) and the sources for this Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London),
Gilbert, M. (1982), Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London) and references therein.
The proportional devastation varied from country to country, thus Gilbert estimates 0.2 million Hungarian Jews died in 1944-1945 out of a total Jewish population of 0.7 million. I of course would welcome references to the latest scholarly research and the latest scholarly estimates.
The rubbish that comes out in the mainstream media is so transparent, the whole setup I believe is to numb the intellect and to fudge reality.
I hope more and more people of influence can bring reality back to the world.

"Iraq Body Count" assessment of 75,000-81,000 "media-reported violent Iraqi deaths" that is about 7-10% of the independent estimates of 0.8-1.2 million VIOLENT deaths (from the top US medical epidemiologists and the top UK ORB polling company) and which IGNORES 0.7-0.8 million NON-VIOLENT post-invasion Iraqi deaths (due to war criminal Occupier non-provision of life-sustaining requisites unequivocally demanded by the Geneva Convention) (data from UN agencies).
That was since first seeing Dr Polya's letter to Medialens several days ago. Medialens' readers seemed so stunned that it was followed by a silence.
... Which was a real shame because so many media hacks read Medialens on the quiet just to see what's being said about them!
MPACUK is a predominantly Muslim site and the thread, A New form of Holocaust Denial?, is being well read.
These figures have to get out to the world and fast.
Of course they will be met with anger and downright denial --as they were on the MPACUK thread by some idiots-- but that mustn't hinder the Truth Movement from getting out the reality.
What the Anglo-Saxon Alliance has done is just as bad as anything the Nazis did.MPACUKChimes of FreedomPeaceing it Together
I believe the work we have to do is no less a work than the anti-Hitler Resistance had to perform in the dark days of that regime.
Our task is more challenging because we face a planetary totalitarianism which stretches from pole to pole.
Maybe that totalitarianism will need a real hammering before the Anglo-Saxon Alliance is defeated and admits its collective guilt, just as Germany was forced-to by the victorious Allies.
Until then small lights of truth will keep alight all over Mother Earth! And truth will prevail!
However I am also inspired and driven by Albert Camus in his 1946 essay entitled "Neither Victims nor Executioners":
“Over the expanse of five continents throughout the coming years an endless struggle is going to be pursued between violence and friendly persuasion, a struggle in which, granted, the former has a thousand times the chances of success than that of the latter. But I have always held that, if he who bases his hopes on human nature is a fool, he who gives up in the face of circumstances is a coward. And henceforth, the only honorable course will be to stake everything on a formidable gamble: that words are more powerful than munitions.”
Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.
He insists on a justification concerning your authority to speak on this matter.
I have suggested he wrote directly to this site & asked you himself. Somehow, I doubt that he will.
So, for the sake of other more genuine readers, I would be grateful to have something from you which will deal with this suspect troll once-and-for-all.
Many thanks.

I have had a 4 decade career as a biochemist in which I published over 100 scientific papers, overwhelmingly in refereed scientifc journals. The most recent scientific paper which I co-authored was on the complete chemical structure of a complex fungal toxin (2006).
In 2003 I published a huge pharmacological reference text entitled \"Biochemical targets of plant bioactive compounds. A pharmacological reference guide to sites of action and biological effects\" (860 pages, Taylor & Francis/CRC Press London & New York, 2003) (dealing in part with the structure, sources and modes of actions of thousands of toxic substances)(see: Biochemical targets.
That said, what was crucially important in assessing evidence for war-associated deaths and in particular excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not happen) was (1) recognizing that we are responsible for what we do and for what we do not do (the world\'s most prominent bioethicist, Professor Peter Singer, Princeton)(for details see my chapter in Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics, edited by Robyn Williams, ABC Books, Sydney, 2007 and also: Australian complicity in Iraq mass mortality; (2) that excess deaths can be violent (from bullets and bombs) and non-violent (through deprivation) but that either way the end result and the culpability is the same; (3) appreciating authoritative data sources (e.g. UN agencies, top medical epidemiologists published in peer-reviewed scientific papers as opposed to biased government and media assertions); (4) arithmetic and analytical competence as opposed to the Orwellian \"2 plus 2 does not equal 4\" that has become a media and politician reality in our world of propaganda and Bush-ite spin; (5) scepticism of current spin and preparedness to ask the questions and honestly attempt to find answers, notably upper estimates, to the question: how many people have died avoidably post-invasion in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories?
Actually a very simple, rough methodology for answering this question is outlined in my article \"Layperson\'s Guide to counting Iraq deaths\" (see MWC News at the link below or
Layperson\'s guide to counting Iraq deaths. It turns out that for impoverished Third World countries under-5 year old infant deaths are about 0.7 of the excess deaths; UNICEF data (see: UNICEFtell you the annual under-5 infant deaths, estimate this over the post-invasion years and then divide by 0.7 to get an estimate of post-invasion avoidable non-violent deaths (a minimal estimate of post-invasion deaths that does not include violent deaths from bombs and bullets).
I trust that this is helpful.
As I anticipated, certain idiots simply refuse to accept either your credentials, your data or that what you describe is genocide.
This is only to be expected as a result of the ceaseless brain-washing that goes on to justify the war-crimes of the Anglo-Saxon Alliance.
It is inevitable that your findings will hit a huge wall of resistance and denial. But there are many others such as myself who are extremely grateful and remain indebted to your good work.
As long as we are able to, such information will continue to go out to the world.
You have proved something to me, and that is, if you keep battering on doors, they will start to open.
I have been watching this thread steadily unfold, this one sure has a head of steam.

all over Iraq and Afghanistan
by huge bombs tank rounds and even bullets. The children play with these.
DU It is a type of slow release nuclear weapon and the shelp life is 3-5 million years!
Do these figures include the people dying from extreame lack of clean water and electricity.
People especially the old and young dying from heat stroke and dirty filthy water!
People are breaking into houses not for gold and money but just clean water to drink!
The people of Iraq used to drink from the wonderful big rivers Tigress and Euphrates and also the poor used to sit in shallow waters on the banks of these river to cool down in the great heat often over 50c! They used to eat the big fish in thesw huge rivers too. rivers
Now no-one sits on the banks or eat the fish anymore.
WHY..The fish eat the many bodies floating in the rivers and would you go in to cool down. The children used to swim all the time in these rivers.
It haunts them now.
How many are dying or have died from malnutrician?? How many??
How many injured or bereaved?
Millions and millions!
And who cares about all the Iraqis and Afghan people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?? Anyone in Government.
The whole populations are suffering from this.
Can you imagine what the next generation have witnessed??
One mother saw her daughters feotus blown out of her daughter!
One man said this \'Let them imprison us, bomb us, starve us, beat us, rape us, torture us,burn us, kill us. We said there is will be another generation to go on for us. But when he saw the birth of his grossly deformed grandson
he knew that there was no future for them. The increase of cancers and lukaemia is huge in Iraq and the shortage of medicines is criminal.
Are those lacking medicine included in these figures?
How can people question these figures?
Go and live in Iraq or Afghanistan and visit their hospitals if you dare.
My young nephew had a breakdown after working in A&E doing so so many radical amputations due to the DU shrapnel in the bodies of these innocent victims!
I get very very tired of academic words and explainations by Governments and those academics too lazy to study \'real suffering\' and what it really means for millions having it inflicted on them by the Christian West.
The real numbers are hidden and everyone should be aware of that and hang their heads.
A really impressive, impassioned piece. Here is the Truth!
Why this silence?
I am planning to write another article on my blog and would appreciate your views and updates.
Thanks.
