genocide

Dear Suzanne,
I watched your wonderful documentary film on Al-Jazeera TV Channel’s “Witness” programme. It is a powerful statement made with everyday pictures of everyday lives, yet, in its simplicity it challenges and disturbs the mind, unchains deep emotions of empathy with the victim, of sorrow for her silent and constant agony and of repulsion and contempt for the beasts who have committed these atrocities.

The Armenian Genocide

by Stephen Lendman

Raphael Lemkin defined genocide as:

"the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group" that corresponds to other terms like "tyrannicide, homicide, infanticide, etc." (It) does not necessarily mean the destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings....It is intended....to signify a coordinated plan (to destroy) the essential foundations of the life of national groups" with the intent to eradicate or substantially weaken or harm them. "Genocidal plans involve the disintegration....of political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion, economic existence, personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and" human lives.

After the horrors of World War II where an estimated 6 million Jews and other minorities were slaughtered, on December 10, 1948, the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to prevent the killing of a group of people because of race, religion or culture from ever happening again. Yet it still happens. Why?
 

Genocide in US and Canadian Residential Schools - by Stephen Lendman

Part of a previous article is repeated below, followed by a summary of evidence Kevin Annett presented in his book titled, "Hidden No Longer: Genocide in Canada, Past and Present." His entire book is available free online, accessed through the following link:

He calls it "the book that blew the cover off Canada's genocide," providing "the most thorough, documented body of evidence ever published concerning the planned genocide in Canadian residential schools." It includes:

An Investigative Report:

The Woodrow Wilson Center Desecrates its Namesake’s Legacy and Violates its Congressional Mandate

By David Boyajian

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th American president, is looking down in horror at what the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (WWC; WilsonCenter.org) is doing in his name.

Most Americans are not aware of the DC-based organization, or that their taxes comprise one-third of its multi-million dollar annual budget.

The WWC was created by Congress in 1968 through the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Act to commemorate the late president’s “ideals and concerns” and memorialize “his accomplishments.”

Most reporters and other journalists in the mass media failed to do due diligence and misled their audiences regarding last month’s US House Foreign Affairs Committee vote in favor of Resolution 252, which would reaffirm the Armenian genocide of 1915 - 1923.

Nearly all media, prior to and after the vote, falsely said or implied that the House and the Federal government had never before recognized the Armenian genocide.

The full House, in fact, passed resolutions in 1975 and 1984 that acknowledged the Armenian genocide as “genocide.” Proclamation 4838 by President Reagan in 1981 also affirmed the veracity of the genocide. In 1996, the House limited economic aid to Turkey until it recognized the genocide.

American Genocides: Is Haiti Next? - by Stephen Lendman

Distinguished historian, scholar and activist Gabriel Kolko studied "the nature and purpose of (American) power (since) the 1870s," calling it "violen(t), racis(t), repressi(ve) at home and abroad (and) cultural(ly) mendaci(ous)." It's been the same since inception, historian Howard Zinn calling colonial America:

The media is still hellbent on terrifying you with their flu hysteria in order to inject you with toxified vaccines or worse; thus I will continue to expose that which has been hidden. (Matt. 10:26)

One surefire way to let people know what the media is all about would be to employ the prophesized number to save the gay media or quell the flu hysteria; i.e. Flu Buster - A Banner for the Nations (see attached image or my blogs). Would you believe their falsehoods if they had that number on their foreheads?

Fabricating an Epidemic

ICRC: Israel Traps Gazans in Deprivation and Despair - by Stephen Lendman

Founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross is an "impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance." It also tries "to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles."

Crayons and Paper, a documentary about Dr. Jerry Ehrlich, a Philadelphia-area pediatrician who has worked in some of the world's most violent regions, will be screening at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. The film, directed by Chicago teacher Bruce David Janu, highlights Ehrlich and his use of crayons and paper to help children document the atrocities in these war-torn areas. Over the years, the 74-year-old pediatrician has discovered that the drawings made by children speak louder than his own voice and are a living testament to the atrocities committed upon children in war zones.

Crayons and Paper features hundreds of drawing collected by Ehrlich in both Darfur and Sri Lanka.
