Zionist Spin & Orwellian Holocaust Denial President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) has made a pro-Zionist motherhood speech to the Muslim World that ignored horrendous US Alliance crimes, implied (like George Orwell’s Big Brother) that ongoing war is peace and offered a Palestinian State when Apartheid Israel agrees to it. Obama’s speech (see the transcript here) was full of nice politically correct expressions of love for Islam and Muslims but dishonestly evaded the central issue of ongoing US Alliance occupation and devastation of Muslim countries and abusive mass imprisonment of the conquered populations of these Occupied Territories including Somalia (not mentioned), Occupied Palestine, Syria (not mentioned), Lebanon (not mentioned), Occupied Iraq, Occupied Afghanistan and US robot-bombed NE Provinces of Pakistan. In 1945 the Germans adopted a post-war protocol that can be summarized by the acronym CAAAA (C4A) and involving Cessation of the killing; Acknowledgment of the crimes; Apology for the crimes; Amends for the crimes; and Assertion “never again to anyone”. Unfortunately the only US crime that Obama actually admitted to in his speech was US involvement in the overthrow of the democratic government of Iran in 1953. As for the Iraqi Genocide (2.3 million post-invasion excess deaths, 6 million refugees) all that Obama acknowledged was that “Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world … events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible“ i.e. it’s just a learning curve for America and water under the bridge because some nice Americans didn’t think we should have done it and perhaps next time America may talk first before killing millions of people. Before proceeding further with detailed analysis of Obama’s speech it is useful to simply present the horrendous statistics detailing the human cost of the genocidal US-backed Apartheid Israeli occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the genocidal US Alliance occupations of Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan. As of April 2009, in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories: 1. post-invasion non-violent excess deaths total 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 3.2 million, respectively; 2. post-invasion violent deaths total about 10,000, 1.3 million and 2-4 million, respectively; 3. total post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths total 0.3 million, 2.3 million and 3-7 million, respectively; 4. post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and 5. refugees total 7 million, 5-6 million and 3-4 million, respectively.
Annual excess deaths can be estimated from UN data for the major sectors of the American Empire: Afghanistan (483,000), Haiti (30,0000), Iraq (59,000), the Occupied Palestinian Territory (6,000), and Somalia (77,000), for a total of 655,000 non-violent avoidable deaths per year and 1,795 each day. Obama has only been in office since 20 January 2009 but it can be been estimated that in his first 4 months alone excess deaths in these Occupied Territories totalled about 220,000 and avoidable under-5 infant deaths totalled about 140,000 (see “Hey, hey USA, how many kids did you kill today? Answer: 1,000”). Obama’s War in Pakistan has created 2.5 million refugees this year (see: here ). Obama is doing in Pakistan what the British did in the Kenya in the 1950s and what Obama scrupulously ignores in a process of cowardly holocaust denial (1 million in enclosed villages; 0.1 million killed in custody or otherwise; 1.1 million excess deaths). Obama divided his speech into 7 sections and it is convenient to follow this division. 1. Violent extremism Obama says: “The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms” but . you can’t get more violent extremism than the US alliance killing about 1,800 people every day. Obama reiterates the Bush Allegation that Muslims responsiblity for 9/11. However the discovery of unexploded nanothermite explosive in all sample of World trade Center dust analysed points the finger squarely at the US and its “dirty tricks” Israeli terrorist helpmates (see “Is US responsible for 9-11? Scientists find nanothermite in WTC dust”). Even if you accept the Bush-Obama version of 9/11 (men in caves killing 3,000 Americans) does that justify the US killing 1,800 people per day (1,200 infants oer day forever? What happened to Obama’s Cairo epiphany of “the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible“ ? And why mass murder Afghans when the official Bush-Obama version of 9-11 states that no (0) Afghans were actually directly involved in the events of 9-11? The minimum estimate of post-invasion Occupied Afghan excess deaths is 3 million and accordingly the reprisals death ratio justified by Obama is 3,000,000 Afghans/3,000 9-11 victims = 1,000, about 100 times higher than the “enemy civilians”/”dead Germans” reprisals death ratio of merely 10 ordered by Nazi leader Adolph Hitler in 1944 and executed precisely in the 1944 Rome Ardeatine Caves Massacre. As discussed above, Obama made no apology for the Iraq War (“ a war of choice”), made no Acknowledgement of the 2.3 million post-invasion excess deaths and calmly told the Muslim World that he will keep the killing going for another 3 years or so. Obama actually makes a confession of war criminality in his speech, alluding to “aid” of $7.5 billion for Pakistan and $2.8 billion for Occupied Afghanistan – yet Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War demand that the Occupier does everything “to the fullest extent of the means available it” to keep its Conquered Subjects alive and that means for 27 million Occupied Afghans at least the same annual per capita medical expenditure as for metropolitan USA i.e. $6,714 per person per year x 27 million Afghans = $180 billion every year rather than the paltry $2.8 billion offered. Obama is currently the World’s #1 violent extremist. 2. Israel-Palestine Obama makes no criticism of Israel and its violent, illegal, war criminal , abusive 41 year imprisonment of the Palestinians (now 4 million prisoners) but adopts the standard dishonest pro-Zionist line of “two sides to the argument”. Obama states that “the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied” - but this violates Orthodox Jewish theology and to any decent, anti-racist this should not involve ethnic cleansing of the indigenous inhabitants. Obama also states that “Palestinian people – Muslims and Christians – have suffered in pursuit of a homeland”. Yet the Indigenous Palestinians are no more pursuing a homeland than Indigenous Britons of the UK are “pursuing a homeland”. The fact of the matter is that 100% of their continuously Palestinian inhabited homeland for over 3,000 years has been in the hands of genocidal, racist< Zionist colonizers for 61 years and about 78% has been in the hands of Apartheid Israel for 61 years. While making no criticism of the egregiously violent and murderous Zionists, Obama is trenchant in his criticism of Palestinian “violence” – the world’s #1 current state terrorist and mass murderer Obama istelling the Palestinians to suffer peacefully (actually, as a Peacenik, this part of his speech I actually agree with theoretically from the safety of my armchair in distant Australia while recognizing the horrible reality of Israel’s murderous attempts to kill or imprison all members of the Hamas Government that was overwhelmingly democratically elected under Israeli guns in 2006): “Palestinians must abandon violence. Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and does not succeed. For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation. But it was not violence that won full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding. This same story can be told by people from South Africa to South Asia; from Eastern Europe to Indonesia. It's a story with a simple truth: that violence is a dead end. It is a sign of neither courage nor power to shoot rockets at sleeping children, or to blow up old women on a bus. That is not how moral authority is claimed; that is how it is surrendered.” A few more statistics are required at this point to counter Obama’s egregious lying. In December 2008-January 2009 the Israelis murdered about 1,400 Palestinians in what the Catholic Church describes as Israel’s Gaza Concentration Camp in response to zero (0) Israeli deaths from Gaza rockets in the previous year. The ostensible excuse for Apartheid Israel’s current Gaza Massacre is “Gaza rocket terror”. However “terror” is directly proportional to “proportion of people killed” and the actual number of Israelis killed by Gaza rockets and mortars since the start of the Second Intifada 8.25 years ago was twenty eight (28), this corresponding to a 21st century “annual homicide rate” in units of “persons killed per million of population per year” of 0.5 (Israelis killed by Gaza missiles) – as compared to 0.5 (rapist husbands murdered by raped wives), 1.0 (violent husbands murdered by battered wives), 15 (Israelis by Israelis), 56 (Americans), 100 (Americans by guns), 164 (Palestinians killed violently by Israelis), 200 (African-Americans), 473 (citizens of Detroit, Michigan, USA) and 1,429 per million per year (annual Palestinian non-violent deaths through war criminal, Geneva Convention-violating Israeli-imposed deprivation) (updated statistics from “Palestinian-Israeli death ratios. Nazi-style Israeli Gaza war crimes”). 3. Nuclear weapons Obama stated “The third source of tension is our shared interest in the rights and responsibilities of nations on nuclear weapons. This issue has been a source of tension between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran” – yet Iran has repeatedly stated that it does not want nuclear weapons; US intelligence confirms that they gave up any such intentions 6 years ago; Iran has repeatedly voted for a nuclear-free Middle East (this being repeatedly opposed by nuclear terrorist states of Israel and the US); Iran has not attacked any other country for centuries whereas the US has attacked, threatened or subverted almost every country on the planet and Israel has attacked numerous countries (Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Uganda and the US per the USS Liberty attack) as well as playing a “dirty tricks” US surrogate role in Central America, South America, Africa and the South Pacific). Obama makes no mention of Israeli nuclear weapons (believed to number about 200) but reiterates the “terrorism” canard against Iran , a country under attack from US-enabled heroin smugglers from Afghanistan and US-backed Baluchi terrorists from Baluchistan in SW Pakistan. And of course, if Iran did have nuclear weapons would they use then to commit suicide by attacking the US or Israel? Of course not.
Obama uses the following spin and motherhood device in avoiding mention of Israeli nuclear weapons [my additions in square brackets] : “I understand those who protest that some countries [e.g. Israel] have weapons that others do not [e.g. Iran, Palestine]. No single nation [e.g. the US] should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations [except America?] hold nuclear weapons.” 4. Democracy Obama stated that “I know there has been controversy about the promotion of democracy in recent years, and much of this controversy is connected to the war in Iraq. So let me be clear: no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other” – yet that is exactly what the US and its allies are doing in Haiti, Somalia, Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Occupied Territories in which the formerly dominant parties (e.g. Hamas that overwhelmingly won the 2006 Occupied Palestinian elections held under Occupier guns, winning 76 seats out of 132 ) have been declared to be “terrorists” and hunted down and killed leaving only the “acceptable” remaining Indigenous parties to participate in “democracy” under foreign guns. Indeed in Diego Garcia, Lebanon (the Shebaa farms zone) and Syria (the Golan Heights) US-style “democracy” is assured because these Occupied Territories have been completely ethnically cleansed of Indigenous inhabitants. While Obama made an admission of US responsibility for overthrowing democracy in Iran in 1953, he did not have the guts (or the time in one speech) to admit to America’s appalling role in subversion of democracy in virtually every country around the World from Fiji (1987 US-backed military coup) to Haiti (2004 US-backed military coup) (for details see William Blum’s “Rogue State” and Gideon Polya’s “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”). Of course, in this core part of his speech Obama egregiously lied by omission (ignoring US subversion of democracy world-wide except in relation to subversion of Iranian democracy in 1953) and also lied by by commission. Thus Obama stated : “Hamas does have support among some Palestinians, but they also have responsibilities. To play a role in fulfilling Palestinian aspirations, and to unify the Palestinian people, Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, and recognize Israel's right to exist” – but the reality is otherwise: Hamas overwhelmingly won Palestinian elections in 2006 but the Hamas MPs have been variously imprisoned, killed or besieged in the Gaza Concentration Camp; Hamas does not deny the right of Israel to exist but (like Mandela and the ANC in Apartheid South Africa) wants observance of international law and non-racism; and Hamas versus Israeli violence is underscored by Apartheid Israel’s recent killing of 1,400 Gaza inmates in retaliation for zero (0) Israeli deaths from Gaza rockets in the preceding year. Democracy is fundamentally the practical expression of the will of the people and perhaps the most fundamental wish of all human beings is to see the survival of their children. Yet infant mortality is shockingly high in the Occupied Territories of the American Empire (Haiti, Somalia, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan). In contrast, in impoverished, US-sanctioned and US-threatened Cuba – free of US hegemony for 50 years – the infant mortality rate is the same as in the US. Cuban democracy indeed. 5. Religious freedom Obama ignores the reality that one of the most holy cities for 2 billion Christians and 1.5 billion Muslims (Jerusalem) is illegally occupied and violated by racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel in violation of numerous UN Resolutions, notably UN Security Council Resolution 252 that expressly forbids Israeli genocidal dispossession of East Jerusalem Palestinians and indeed of all other Occupied Indigenous Palestinians. Indigenous Palestinians are frequently forbidden to worship at their holy shrines in Occupied Palestine and going on the Haj runs the risk of never being able to return to their homes and families in Palestine. Obama made a “weasel words” statement about Muslim freedom of religion: “We must always examine the ways in which we protect it. For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfil their religious obligation. That is why I am committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfil zakat”. Yet recently in the United States of America (aka the United States of Israel) the founder members of what was once the biggest Muslim charity in the US were jailed for 65 years for giving money to aid the orphans from Israeli killings of Occupied Palestinians i.e. the US has made the core Muslim obligation of alms-giving (zakat) a criminal offence attracting an effective life sentence in prison (see “anti-Arab anti-Semitism. US and Australia make Muslim charity a major crime”) . 6. Women’s rights Obama concentrated on the wearing of the hijab and female literacy - but ignored the fundamental biological desire and “right” of women to see the survival of their offspring, a “right” variously denied by mass paedocidal polices of US imperialism and US-backed surrogates in the Occupied Territories of Haiti, Somalia, . Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and robot-bombed NW Pakistan. Thus UNICEF, WHO and UN Population Division data inform us that in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories the “annual death rate” is 0.6%, 0.9% and 7.0%, respectively, for under-5 year old infants – as compared to 0.1% for Israeli or White Australian infants and 10% for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War 2 (for which war crimes Japanese generals were tried and hung). Obama’s words are hollow indeed – he is the effective ruler of Occupied Iraq and Afghanistan, devastated countries in which the equal rights for women obtaining in 2003 and 1978, respectively, (i.e. prior to massive, malignant and violentent US involvement) has been supplanted by gross abuse of women’s rights by US-backed Puppet Governments. 7. Economic development and opportunity Obama’s pontifications about “economic development and opportunity” represent a massive lie. The US with 4.7% of the world’s population consumes 25% of the world’s wealth. Obama is responsible for 655,000 avoidable deaths from deprivation each year in the US Overseas Empire (and an unknown number of violent excess deaths but his Nazi-style generals “don’t do body counts”). However the global avoidable mortality carnage on Spaceship Earth under US hegemony with Obama at the wheel is horrendous: 16 million avoidable deaths annually (9.4 million being under-5 infants) from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease (2004 data; see Gideon Polya’s “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya ). Obama and the pro-Zionist Mainstream media and politicians of the Western Murdochracies scrupulously avoid seeing the horrendous consequences of First World hegemony. Thus using UN Population Division data one can estimate “avoidable mortality” (excess mortality, avoidable deaths, excess death, deaths that did not have to happen) for every country in the world , avoidable mortality being the difference between actual deaths in a country and deaths expected for a peaceful, decently run country with the same demographics. Thus for all countries (excepting Germany and Japan) occupied by the US as a major occupier since 1945, the 1950-2005 avoidable deaths have totalled 82 million. The breakdown (expressing avoidable deaths as a ratio of the 2005 population and including the value for the US itself) is as follows (m = millions; * indicates other major co-occupiers): US [8.455m/300.038m = 2.8%] - Afghanistan* [16.609m/25.971m = 64.0%], Cambodia* [5.852m/14.825m = 39.5%], Dominican Republic [0.806m/8.998m = 9.0%], Federated States of Micronesia [0.016m/0.111m = 14.4%], Greece* [0.027m/10.978m = 0.2%], Grenada* [0.018m/0.121m = 14.9%], Guam [0.005m/0.168m = 3.0%], Haiti* [4.089m/8.549m = 47.9%], Iraq* [5.283m/26.555m = 19.9%], Korea* [7.958m/71.058m = 11.2%], Laos* [2.653m/5.918m = 44.8%], Panama [0.172m/3.235m = 5.3%], Philippines [9.080m/82.809m = 11.0%], Puerto Rico [0.039m/3.915m = 1.0%], Somalia* [5.568m/10.742m = 51.8%], US Virgin Islands [0.003m/0.113m = 2.4%], Vietnam* [24.015m/83.585m = 28.7%], total = 82.193m/357.651m = 23.0% (see “Global avoidable mortality”). The 1950-2005 avoidable mortality has totalled 1.3 billion (the World), 1.2 billion (the non-European World) and 0.6 billion (the Muslim World) – a Muslim Holocaust 100 times greater than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million deaths, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) or the “forgotten” WW2 Bengal Famine (6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British). However it gets worse. The US and its extreme right wing Anglo allies Canada and Australia, are among the worst greenhouse gas (GHG) polluters in the world as revealed by the following figures: “annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year” (2005-2008 data) is 2.2 (India), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 24 (Canada) , 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia’s huge Exported CO2 pollution is included (see Wikipedia, “List of countries by greenhouse gas emissions per capita”). Obama has offered a mere 2% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020 whereas top UK experts say 6-8% per year is required just to maintain the current damaging atmospheric CO2-equivalent of 450 ppm . Obama’s cowardice is committing the World to a worsening Climate Genocide that, according to top UK climate scientist Professor James Lovelock FRS, will mean that fewer than 1 billion will survive the century i.e. about 10 billion will die, mostly non-European, and including 2 billion Indians and 3 billion Muslims in a Muslim Holocaust that will dwarf the 0.6 billion Muslims of the past 6 decades. In summary, Obama’s speech to the Muslim World had some positives - admission of US overthrow of democracy in Iran (but no admission of the horrendous subversion of democracy by the US in virtually all countries around the world); US support for a Palestinian State (but in practice only when Israel agrees); and opposition to nuclear weapons (while the nuclear terrorist rogue states of the US and Israel have 15,000 and 200, respectively). For the rest, Obama ‘s speech was a dishonest, Orwellian and Goebbelsian mix of pro-Zionist propaganda, obfuscation, spin, outright lies, slies (spin-based untruths) and massive lying by omission about the carnage of the Bush (now Obama) War on Muslims ( 7-9 million excess deaths, so far), the post-war, US-complicit Muslim Holocaust (0.6 billion Muslim excess deaths) and the worsening, US-complicit Climate Genocide that will kill 3 billion Muslims this century due to unaddressed man-made climate change. Who does Obama think he is fooling?

1. 08-06-2009 13:54 Obama & Merkel holocaust denial Both President Barack Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel made speeches on 5 June 2009 at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp site that totally ignored the mostly non-Jewish victims of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp including German communists, anarchists, homosexuals and religious dissidents (notably Jehovah's Witness) i.e. they are guilty of race-based holocaust denial (for transcript see Obama, Merkel & Wiesel at Buchenwald ). The "annual death rate" at Buchenwald Concentration Camp as an annual percentage (% dead per year ) was 56,045 deaths x 100/ (238,380 inmates x 8 years) = 2.9% dying per year . By way of comparison, UN data tell us that the "annual death rate" of under-5 year old infants in US- and German-occupied Afghanistan is 338,000 x 100/4,860,000 infants = 7.0% dying per year. The core messages from the World War 2 Holocaust (30 million Slav, Jewish and Gypsy dead) are "zero tolerance for racism", "never again to anyone", "bear witness" and "zero tolerance for lying". Both Obama and Merkel are guilty of both holocaust commission and holocaust denial (see: Obama Holocaust Denial in Buchenwald & Cairo speeches ). Guest 2. 11-06-2009 15:57 Beyond the Razzle Dazzle Gideon Polya provides an excellent acadamic analysis of Obam\'s speech exposing it for what it is. Polya\'s analysis compensated for the globally endemic loss of competence for critical analysis and the consequent stampede to follow the Pied Piper. However, I note with pleasure that his speech, like that \"opening to dialogue\" with Iran, was immediately transparent in the Muslim world (outside the carefully selected audience at Cairo) and is rapidly coming unravelled.
