UK "Left" New Statesman joins Anglo Mainstream media in CENSORING out Obama’s war crimes

I have been reading the UK New Statesman magazine for all my adult life. It provided some kind of alternative to the outrageous lying by commission and omission of the mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies. However the New Statesman has CENSORED out carefully researched data on White Establishment creature Obama’s huge war crimes for his new Masters in his first few weeks of office. Obama is the ultimate Uncle Tom – and he has just started.

Recently I published carefully researched and documented articles in Bellaciao entitled “Uncle Tom Obama has killed 25,000 SO FAR in Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories”: http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?ar... and “Uncle Tom Obama supports Afghan Genocide and racist Zionist (RZ) Apartheid Israeli occupation of Palestine”: http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?ar... .

I wrote related articles in the world’s biggest Indian literary website, Sulekha, entitled “In his first week war criminal Uncle Tom Obama killed first 18 South Asians in former British Raj” “ (see: http://gideon.sulekha.com/blog/post... ) and then a further article entitled “Uncle Tom Obama has killed 25,000 Asians ALREADY in first 17 days of office”: http://gideon.sulekha.com/blog/post... .

However the ostensibly “Left” UK New Statesman magazine – one of the few glimmering lights in the septic pond that is Mainstream media in the British Murdochcracy - has evidently succumbed to Zionist and Bush-ite pressure and has joined Google, the UK Guardian and indeed the rest of the Mainstream media in the Western Murdochracies by outrageous censoring of horrendous US Alliance human rights abuses and passive mass murder of Occupied people in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories (an estimated 0.5 million avoidable deaths annually from deprivation).

One can legitimately criticize New Statesman for being “fashionably Left” from having been infected with the Anglo Culture of Lying, Ignoring, Denying, Pretending and "Niceness" that has enabled the murderous atrocities of British imperialism to continue into the 21st century – invasion, occupation and active and passive mass murder of Indigenous People.

The New Statesman’s most outspoken journalist is outstanding Australian expatriate journalist (and my hero) John Pilger who relentlessly exposes the crimes of the US imperialists and their cowardly, racist, warmongering allies Canada, “democratic imperialist” Britain, Germany, France and racist White Australia. However even my hero John Pilger can be criticized for significantly under-reporting the “elephant in the room” of the world today – the horrendous passive mass murder of Indigenous People in Occupied Countries (an estimated 0.5 million avoidable deaths annually from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories) and the horrendous avoidable deaths of 16 million people annually (two thirds being under-5 year old infants) in the Third World section of a Spaceship Earth with the First World in charge off the flight deck.

Yet the reality is that whether a person is killed by bombs and bullets or through deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease, the end result is the same and the culpability the same. Indeed when it comes to livestock in drought-ravaged Australia, a farmer is praised for shooting an injured horse but may be prosecuted for allowing
a horse to starve to death (maltreatment of sheep and cattle is another matter – they are the Third World of the Australian Livestock World). The British in India talked of “farming” the Indigenous Indians – and for a shocking photograph of how the racist British starved their Indian subjects (1.8 billion Indian excess deaths, 1757-1947) see “Media lying over Churchill’s crimes. British Indian Holocaust “: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/267... .

An excellent New Statesman article by John Pilger entitled “The Politics of Bollocks” (see: http://www.newstatesman.com/north-a... ) was highly critical of Obama’s White American Establishment line and concluded “It is time the Obama lovers grew up. It is time those paid to keep the record straight gave us the opportunity to debate informatively. In the 21st century, people power remains a huge and exciting and largely untapped force for change, but it is nothing without truth. "In the time of universal deceit," wrote George Orwell, "telling the truth is a revolutionary act.""

However 3 carefully written responses of mine to this article (detailing the horrendous passive murder in the Obama-complicit Occupations of the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories) were all CENSORED out COMPLETELY by New Statesman – thereby violating John Pilger’s plea “It is time those paid to keep the record straight gave us the opportunity to debate informatively.”

However when I realized what the New Statesman was doing I made sure that I “saved” my second and third posts that are reproduced below – what the UK New Statesman did NOT want you to read.

Post #2. “My comments on Uncle Tom Obama’s patent and slavish adherence to the line of the Zionist-beholden US Bush-ite-neo-Bush-ite Establishment were apparently censored out by someone in NS (very disappointing - a sober anti-racist Humanist scientist I have been reading NS for 40 years).

For those interested in what I may have said and NS found necessary to prevent others from reading see "Uncle Tom Obama has killed 25,000 Asians ALREADY in first 17 days of office": http://gideon.sulekha.com/blog/post... ; " Uncle Tom Obama supports Afghan Genocide & Racist Zionist (RZ) Apartheid Israeli Occupation of Palestine": http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?ar... ; and " Uncle Tom Obama has killed 25,000 SO FAR in Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi & Afghan Territories": http://bellaciao.org/en/spip.php?ar... .

Censorship is a form of lying. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity.

Now I had better copy what I have written just in case I need to tell everyone about further NS censorship.”

Post #3. “Two attempts by me to make authoritative, documented comments on this thread about Obama’s failure to change from Bush policy on the Occupied Palestinian and Afghan Territories have been CENSORED by someone in NS for whatever pro-Zionist, pro-Bush-ite , pro-neo-Bush-ite or truth-denying reason .

One well-known phrase has been routinely used to describe African-Americans who support the racist White Establishment and that is Uncle Tom - and is eminently applicable here.

The core messages from the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million dead, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) are "zero tolerance for racism", "never again to anyone" and "bear witness" - fundamental messages grossly violated by the Zionists, the Bush-ites and neo-Bush-ites like Obama in their active support for the ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide.

The Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides have so far involved 0.3 million, 2 million and 4-6 million post-invasion excess deaths; 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.1 million under-5 year old infant deaths (90% avoidable and due to war criminal Occupier violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War); and 7 million, 6 million and 4 million refugees, respectively – Genocides as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see: “9-11 excuse for US global genocide”, MWC News: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/251... ; UN Genocide Convention: http://www.edwebproject.org/sidesho... ; Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War : http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ).

CENSORSHIP is a form of lying and normal for Mainstream media in the Western Murdochracies - but very disappointing from the NS I have read for over 40 years.

Silence kills and silence is complicity - whether by Uncle Tom Obama or the New Statesman. I will report BOTH world-wide. I have copied this”. End quote.

Censorship is lying and through this censorship the New Statesman has joined the Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies in LYING about the continuing genocidal crimes of Anglo-American and Zionist imperialism.

The truth won’t go away despite such egregious censorship. It is estimated from UNICEF data that under White American Establishment lackey Uncle Tom Obama the avoidable deaths EACH DAY in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 1,460.

The straightforward arithmetic that the Anglo mainstream media don’t want you to see is as follows. UNICEF (see: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry... ) tells us that annual under-5 infant deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 3,000, 43,000 and 327,000, respectively for a total of 373,000. For impoverished Third World countries under direct Occupation or indirect Occupation (from First World hegemony) under-5 infant deaths are about 0.7 of total avoidable deaths (see “Layperson’s guide to counting Iraq deaths”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5872/26/ ). Accordingly annual avoidable deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 373,000/ 0.7 = 532,857 and daily avoidable deaths total 532,857/ 365 = 1,460.

In Uncle Tom Obama’s first 3 weeks in office 21 x 1,460 = 31,000 Indigenous Asians have died avoidably in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories (substantially due to Geneva Convention-violating Occupier war crimes) – but CENSORSHIP by the New Statesman and the other Mainstream media of the Western Murdochcracies will continue to hide these dreadful, genocidal realities.
