Re-writing History -White Australian, Pro-Zionist Holocaust Ignoring and Holocaust Denial

White Australia has unveiled a draft National History Curriculum proposal that white-washes HUGE and continuing Anglo, American and Anglo-American crimes against Indigenous People around the World.

Just imagine a history of Germany that failed to notice the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) – decent folk would call such a history “holocaust ignoring” and indeed might even call it “holocaust denial”.

Yet that is precisely what most Anglo histories do – they write about the glories of English Civilization but “rub out” its awful crimes, of which the biggest are undoubtedly its genocidal crimes against Americans Indians, Asian Indians, Asians, Africans, Indigenous Australian Aborigines and Pacific Islanders (for a detailed account see my book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/).

Thus the British were directly involved in the extermination of the North American Indians and from the 17th -19th centuries, genocide of the Argentinian Indians in the 19th century, the genocidal slave trade in Africa (16th to 19th century), genocidal settlement in Southern Africa, the Australian Aboriginal Genocide (18th century to the present), the 19th century Maori Genocide in New Zealand and massive depopulation of the Pacific by commerce- and slave trading-linked disease (19th century).

British imperialism devastated China during the Opium Wars and the Tai Ping Rebellion (in which 20-100 million Chinese died). However it was in India that the British really excelled themselves (see: “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ).

The 2 century British Raj (1757-1947) was associated with 1.5 billion excess deaths (1.8 billion excess deaths if you include the British-controlled Native States). Some of the major atrocities include the 1769-1770 Great Bengal Famine (10 million deaths, 1/3 of the Bengal population starved to death due to British over-taxation); recurrent, man-made famines in brutally over-taxed India that swept away scores of millions over 2 centuries; the 10 million Indians murdered in reprisals for the 2,000 Anglos killed in what the Anglos call the “1857 Indian Mutiny”; the 1943-1945 man-made Bengal Famine in which Churchill deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death (see the 2008 BBC broadcast involving me, 1998 Economics Nobel Laureate Professor Amartya Sen from Harvard University, medical historian Dr Sanjoy Bhattacharya from the Wellcome Institute, University College London and other scholars: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot... ); and of course, Partition (1 million dead, 18 million refugees) that arose out of Churchill’s hatred of Indians and the British “divide and rule” policy.

It is a sobering exercise to simply go to any substantial library and discover this gross holocaust denial for yourself. The Anglo hisorians have done a remarkable job of white-washing Anglo atrocities right up to the present (i.e. atrocities and histories right up to the present).

Some histories in the English-speaking world do depart from the Anglo Culture of Ignoring and Holocaust Denial and attempt to tell the Awful Truth e.g. the 1998 and 2008 editions of my book “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History. Colonial rapacity, holocaust denial and the crisis in biological sustainability” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ ) and Colin Mason’s “A Short History of Asia” (Macmillan, London, 2000).

White Australia – an increasingly American-linked part of the former British Empire - has now decided to have a National History Curriculum and the draft proposal from an expert Committee has been put on the Web (see: http://www.ncb.org.au/verve/_resour...) .

However there is no mention of the immense, genocidal Anglo and Australian crimes against humanity in this squeaky-clean course outline – no mention of 5 centuries of British genocide on 5 continents (see “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, G.M. Polya, Melbourne: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/); no mention of Churchill’s appalling crimes culminating in the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust and Indian Partition in 1947 (see: “Media lying over Churchill’s crimes. British-Indian Holocaust” [NB Churchill’s War Cabinet approved Partition of Palestine in 1944]: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/267... ); and no mention of a score of genocides in which White Australia has been involved and including some with which Australia is still involved (see “Australia’s secret genocide history. La Trobe, “Bundoora Eucalyptus” and Black Crimes of White Australia”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/221... ).

I have done my duty and made a very detailed response to this Anglo-centric, Europe-centric, holocaust-ignoring, Australian National History Curriculum history outline which I have placed on the Web here: http://nationalhistorycurriculum.bl... ).

I am highly critical of the proposed curriculum in relation to holocaust ignoring e.g. ignoring of the ongoing Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides (post-invasion excess deaths 0.3 million, 2 million and 4-6 million, respectively: “9-11 excuse for US global genocide. The real 9-11 atrocity: millions dead (9-11 million) in Bush wars (1990-2009)”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/251... ); ignoring of looming Climate Genocide (according to Professor James Lovelock FRS, fewer than 1 billion will survive this century due to unaddressed global warming, with Australia a major climate criminal perpetrator; see: http://www.newscientist.com/article... and http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ); and ignoring of other horrendous holocaust and genocide events such as the 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by Churchill in the 1943-1945 Bengali Holocaust.

In this very Australia-oriented history course outline, Indigenous Australians (Aborigines; 1 million before European settlement; 0.1 million a century later and now about 0.5 million of Aboriginal descent ) are mentioned 12 times in the document but India (1.1 billion Indians now, 1.8 billion excess deaths under the racist British) is mentioned twice, China 3 times and Asia 4 times.

The word Racism) occurs once, and the word Genocide is only implicitly referred to once in the same single paragraph [my additions in square brackets]: “110. The [Jewish] Holocaust that Hitler and Nazis inflicted on European Jewry [ 30 million Slav, Jewish and India-derived Roma victims of the Western Theatre WW2 Holocaust and 35 million Chinese killed by the Japanese and 7 million Indians killed by the British in Eastern Theatre WW2 Holocausts] will be studied in its own right. Its enduring consequences will also be considered including the international turn against racism [now evaporated due to racist Zionism and racist Anglo-American democratic imperialism] , the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights [grossly violated by the US Alliance and Apartheid Israel], the establishment of [the race-based, Nazi-style Apartheid State of] Israel, and its effect on Palestinians (4 million imprisoned in Israeli-guarded Concentration Camp/Bantustans, 7 million refugees], and the development of protocols on refugees [violated by the major refugee-generators the UK, US and Apartheid Israel] . Postwar movements of national liberation and decolonisation will also be considered [still suppressed for Palestinians by US-, UK- and White Australia-backed Apartheid Israel].

The words Colonialism, Imperialism, and Genocide don’t even rate a single mention in this Euro-centric, Anglo-centric, Australia-centric history curriculum framework. Below are my final comments in Section 22 of my detailed Response to this Australia National History Curriculum Framing paper (see: http://nationalhistorycurriculum.bl...).

22. Other comments on the paper.

This is a Euro-centric and Anglo-centric history course of study that ignores major European crimes (apart from “slavery” and “holocaust”, words used one time each) and studiously avoids mention of Racism or Genocide (words simply not used [racism only in relation to the Jewish Holocaust] ). It substantially ignores immense Anglo and European crimes involving invasion, occupation, disempowerment, dispossession and genocidal mass murder of non-Europeans – crimes that continue to be carried out today.

Thus in the ongoing Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides, in which politically correct racist (PC racist) White Australia is complicit, post-invasion excess deaths total 0.3 million, 2 million and 4-6 million; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.1 million; and refugees total 7 million, 6 million and 4 million, respectively (see “9-11 excuse for US global genocide. The real 9-11 atrocity: millions dead (9-11 million) in Bush wars (1990-2009)”:http://mwcnews.net/content/view/251... ; MWC News essays by Gideon Polya: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya ; “Zionist lie & Gaza Massacre.

Love, Care & Overcoming Rage” (a book review): http://mwcnews.net/content/view/262... ).

Suitable antidotes to this dangerous, and apparently holocaust-ignoring course would be William Blum’s “Rogue State” (post-war US and Israeli state terrorism) ; Gideon Polya’s “Body count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”; Davis, M. (2001), Late Victorian Holocausts: El Nino Famines and the Making of the Third World (Verso, London); Amaresh Misra’s “Warof Civilizations: India AD 1857” ; Sven Lindqvist’s brilliant “Exterminate all the brutes” (a book that all Australian high school English, History and Science students should be asked to read); Chalk, F. & Jonassohn, K. (1990), The History and Sociology of Genocide. Analyses and Case Studies (Yale University Press, New Haven); Gideon Polya’s “Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History”; Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs and Steel” and “Collapse” – and numerous books by Tariq Ali, Australian John Pilger, Arundhati Roy and like decent, humanitarian and honest writers.

History ignored yields history repeated. Holocaust ignoring is history betrayed and humanity betrayed. The way forward in this dangerous world involves rational risk management that successively involves (a) facts, (b) scientific analysis (this involving critical testing of potentially falsifiable hypotheses) and (c) informed system change to minimize risk. Unfortunately this is all too often perverted by (a) lies, propaganda, censorship, intimidation ; (b) anti-science spin (involving the selective use of asserted facts to support a partisan position) and (c) “blame and shame” with war mongering and war as the most obscene outcomes. Recent World and Australian history in the 21st century (e.g. the WMD falsehoods and the consequent Iraqi Genocide) are testament to this perversion and failure.

History teachers have an obligation to tell the truth – and the best guide to what are important truths is the mass avoidable mortality of fellow human beings. Yet “conventional” Anglo-American-Zionist history goes out of its way to lie and deceive.

A recent example is given by the Coalition Federal Government, Coalition Victorian Opposition and Zionist attempts to ban a book by Victorian teacher Paul Gilby for year 12 high school students of politics for telling the manifest truth that “terrorism” comes in 2 major varieties, non-state terrorism (e.g. by Muslim non-state terrorists responsible for murdering 7,000 Western civilians in the last 40 years) and state terrorism (e.g. US and Israeli state terrorism involved in horrendous war crimes in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories and associated with about 9-11 million avoidable deaths in the period 1990-2009 alone). My protest against this proposed history-denying censorship was published by The Age, Melbourne (see: http://www.theage.com.au/news/lette... ).

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Yet Australia remains the land of Flies, Lies and Slies (spin-based untruths). Professor James Lovelock FRS has estimated that no more than 1 billion will survive the looming climate genocide due to unaddressed global warming [not many Indians among the lucky 1 billion] ; see “One last chance to save mankind”: http://www.newscientist.com/article... ) and some top UK climate scientists are saying that it is already effectively too late to act (see Kevin Anderson & Alice Bows, Proc. Trans. Roy. Soc, A, 2008: http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/publicatio... ).

Yet Australia is heading full bore towards disaster (see “Australia’s 5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020” endangers Australia, Humanity and Biosphere”: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ). However with honesty and energy there may still be barely enough time to avert global disaster (see Climate Emergency Facts Sheets of the Yarra Valley Climate Action Group: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ; “Hope – best renewables now cost same as coal power. “One Day Pathétique” Symphony painting”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/261... ; One-page “Climate Emergency Facts and Required Actions”: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ).

Time is running out and we can no longer afford to ignore past, present and likely future holocausts.
