I have been around for a long time and have experienced more than most. The current situation in my experience is the most dangerous time of all for humanity.

Nuclear weapons are no longer restrained by the Cold War MAD doctrine. Washington has released them into pre-emptive first strike form.

The targets of these pre-emptive strikes–Russia and China–know it, because Washington proudly proclaims its immorality in public documents describing its war doctrine.

The result is to maximize the chance of nuclear war. If you were Russia and China, and you knew that Washington had a war doctrine that permits a surprise nuclear attack, would you sit there waiting while Washington cranks up its anti-Russian and anti-Chinese propaganda machine, demonizing both countries as a threat to “freedom and democracy”?

The fools in Washington are playing with nuclear fire. Noam Chomsky points out that in a less dangerous time than currently exists, we came very close to nuclear war.https://philosophynow.org/issues/107/Noam_Chomsky_on_Institutional_Stupidity

Harold Pinter, one of the last Western intellects, understood the danger in Western arrogance. He denounced the West’s crimes and called for the crimes to be subject to established law before it is too late for humanity.

“We have brought torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, innumerable acts of random murder, misery, degradation and death to the Iraqi people and call it ‘bringing freedom and democracy to the Middle East’. How many people do you have to kill before you qualify to be described as a mass murderer and a war criminal? One hundred thousand? More than enough, I would have thought. Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice.” Harold Pinter, 2005 Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech.

“An Iraqi Holocaust” by Gideon Polya http://www.countercurrents.org/polya230315.htm and “Genocide In Iraq” http://www.countercurrents.org/polya150315.htm provide abundant evidence for convicting Bush and Blair.

Dr. Gideon Polya is a professor of science in one of Australia’s leading universities. He has a moral conscience, something increasingly rare in the Western world.

His articles are based largely on the just published by Clarity Press two volume heavily documented Genocide in Iraq by Abdul-Haq Al-Ani and Tarik Al-Ani. Abdul-Haq Al-Ani is a British-educated lawyer with a Ph.D. in International Law and a Ph.D. in electronics engineering. Tarik Al-Ani, is an architect, translator, and researcher.

Currently I am reading the two-volume work and intended to review it. But Professor Polya’s articles suffice as an introduction to Genocide in Iraq. Washington has committed a terrible crime in our name. Washington not only murdered Iraq, Washington has murdered the Middle East. Washington and its despicable vassals–”the Coalition of the Willing”–are responsible for a Middle East Holocaust.

For people in the Anglo-American world who have a moral conscience, the facts are soul-wrenching. The populations of the countries whose governments comprised “the Coalition of the Willing” are contaminated with war crimes committed by their governments in the Iraq Genocide. A progressive modern state was obliterated, and 2.7 million Iraqi people were murdered.

The crime was covered up with propaganda that demonized Saddam Hussein and created fear of nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

The Iraqi genocide was based on a lie, and both Bush and Blair knew it. The two satanic leaders simply decided to destroy a people who they first demonized and marginalized.

Cheney and the neocons continue to justify the genocide and the illegal torture regime that they created in order to produce fake “terrorists” as a justification for their war crimes. The Western media, especially the New York Times, is also complicit in the Iraqi Genocide as are the insouciant Western peoples themselves who stood by cheering while millions of people were destroyed on the basis of a blatant and transparent lie.

What does the West represent? Greed? Lies? War? Torture? War Crimes? Selfishness, Intolerance? Destruction of life on earth?

The “Christian” West is a master at propaganda and self-deception. Look at the evangelical churches. They support a criminal, inhumane regime while professing to be followers of Christ.

Look at American “conservatives.” They support the militarized police state. They support the routine police murders of dark-skinned American citizens. They support every war Washington dreams up and even more. Indeed, there are not enough wars for the satisfaction of Congressional Republicans who now want war with Russia and with Iran.

Look at the Republicans in Congress and in state governments. They hate the environment. They love polluters. They worship Israel and Israel’s destruction of the Palestinians and the ongoing theft of the Palestinians’ country, a 60-year old activity. Just look at the map of shrinking Palestine. More is stolen each day.

Washington has supported this theft of an entire country. Yet, Washington is able to masquerade as a great defender of human rights. Whose rights? Washington’s and Israel’s. No one else’s rights count.

How does the world survive the American-Israeli aggression? Probably it will not. The evil is now directed at Iran, Russia, and China. These countries cannot be bombed year after year after year with no consequences to the bombers.

Iran is limited in its destructive ability. But Iran could destroy Saudi Arabia and Israel. Russia and China can destroy the US and all of Washington’s vassal states. The intensity of Washington’s propaganda war is driving the world to destruction.

How can it be stopped when Putin himself says over and over that Washington continually ignores every thing that the Russian government says. Putin is the peacemaker. Every peace proposal he brings is ignored by Washington whose response is to beat the drums of war louder.

Unless European governments recognize the danger in Washington’s aggression and dissolve NATO, planet earth hasn’t long to live.

ORDER IT NOW

The American public needs to understand the consequences of Washington’s illegality and criminality. On the one hand it means that those subject to Washington’s aggression have to endure war crimes, but on the other hand it means a growing hatred for America. As Washington’s easy targets are used up, Washington engages countries that can reply to force with force.

Unless the neoconservatives are ejected from the Obama regime and banned from inclusion in any future American government, mushroom clouds will go up over Washington, New York, Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago. The American mid-west, which hosts the ICBM silos, will become uninhabitable except by cockroaches.

Americans, and the populations of the American puppet states, desperately need to understand that Washington is incapable of speaking the truth about anything. Washington is an evil force. Washington is Sauron. Washington is Satan.

Look at Iraq. Look at Afghanistan. Look at Libya. Look at Syria. Look at Somalia. Look at Ukraine. Nothing but destruction comes from Washington. Will life on earth be Washington’s next victim?

    Sad and all too obvious facts.

    Supremacist Jews are the greatest threat to humanity and people are realizing it.

    And it is the absurd & impossible ‘holocaust’ storyline of 6M and gas chambers which is used to enforce their evil behavior.

    The ‘holocaust’ storyline is one of the most easily debunked narratives ever contrived. That is why those who question it are arrested and persecuted. That is why violent, racist, & privileged Jewish supremacists demand censorship. What sort of truth is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth? Truth needs no protection from scrutiny.

    Where was PCR when we were fighting them in Managua so we wouldn’t have to in Oklahoma City? Did he care about supporting murderers then?

    Spam. You’re now officially spamming. Answer my questions or admit that you’re just here to shill for your Nazi website.

    “The ‘holocaust’ storyline is one of the most easily debunked narratives ever contrived. That is why those who question it are arrested and persecuted.”

    Let’s not go crazy.

    Look, I’m willing to bet there’s a lot of lies, falsehoods, and exaggerations about the Holocaust.
    Some of the stuff I was taught in school are now rejected even by Jewish professors. In the 70s and early 80s, some of the stuff about lampshades and soap were passed off as true.

    Like all great historical events, there is surely much to be discussed and revised on the matter.

    [MORE]

    For instance, I often read that 8 million Ukrainians were killed by Stalin. But recent estimates come closer to 3.5 million, at most 4 million.

    The estimates of dead in the Great Leap Forward range from 20 to 40 million dead.

    How many did the Khmer Rouge kill? Estimates range from 1 to 3 million.

    So, it would be absurd to fix any specific number on the Holocaust. Also, new studies, even by Liberal historians like Timothy Synder, accept that the number of Jews killed by gas had been greatly exaggerated and many more died on the fields by Nazi death squads.

    So, this open for discussion.

    But why is it that every time this subject is brought up in any forum, there’s always a bunch of total-Holocaust-denying lunatics who say it was all just a lie, there was no mass extermination(when there obviously were), and etc. These same people then scream about how the evil Allies killed all those innocent-as-snow Germans in carpet bombings.

    This is why the subject of Holocaust always fails. True, the censorious forces who wanna shut down debate are bad, but the discussion usually turns into loony tunes because every crackpot Holocaust-denying nutjob comes out of the woodwork.

    Look, there was a time when commies, Stalinists, Maoists, and etc used to deny mass killings and apologize for those regimes too. But when the facts came out, they eventually accepted the fact that mass killings had taken place. Sydney Schanberg who covered Cambodia and initially sympathized with the Khmer Rouge did a mea culpa. He admitted his naivete.

    But there are still Holocaust-denying crackpots who hold onto any ‘new evidence’ to deny the whole thing.
    I suspect the Holocaust had been exaggerated but there’s just no way a horror on that scale can be faked. (It’d be even more difficult than faking landing on the moon).
    These crackpots are the gifts that keep on giving to the Jewish supremacist power. They keep showing the world that the Far Right does indeed have its share of cuckoo birds.

    At any rate, the horror of the Holocaust cannot be measured in numbers only. It’s the sheer absoluteness of it that sends chills down the spine. Wiping out everybody from child to granny?
    This is why Hiroshima also continues to bother a lot of people. It killed everyone from new born baby to old granny living out her last days. It spared no one in between.

    That said, the nuking of Japan was still a means to force surrender than to wipe out an entire people, but things got really sick with the Nazis.

    Also, even if the Nazis hadn’t a plan to kill Jews and hadn’t killed a single Jew, they were still genocidal freaks who invaded Russia and planned to wipe out tens of millions of Slavs.
    So, even if there had been no Holocaust, victorious Nazis would have carried out a massive Slavocaust.

    It’s time to give up on apologizing for Nazi mania.
    There were some good things about National Socialism, but its evil was beyond evil, and I’m sick of the Far Right polluting itself with this garbage over and over.

    I don’t like Marine Le Pen sucking up to Jews and homos, but it’s good that she got rid of the Nazi apologizing freaks. Enough already.

  6. @Priss Factor

    Priss Factor, do you agree with US legislators and Benjamin Netanyahu that “Ahmadinejad is Hitler” and “Iran is Germany” and “it’s 1938” and a deal with Iran is Munich all over again?

    Do you think Churchill was a hero and that Chamberlain a knave and “appeaser?’

    Are you aware of the political maneuvers undertaken by Churchill in 1939?

    Do you know anything about the efforts of the German government to peacefully resolve the Danzig conflict?

    What do you think of the work of Maj. General Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof, author of 1939: The War that had Many Fathers ?

    Do you think that those who provoke or start wars bear culpability for deaths that occur in the prosecution of those wars?

  7. @Priss Factor

    Priss Factor,

    There’s a great deal more to say; nevertheless, I chopped off a great deal from my earlier comment.

    But I just noticed this line that you wrote and have to ask some question of you:

    There were some good things about National Socialism, but its evil was beyond evil,

    When did the “good” things occur?
    What were they?
    What caused the “good” things to stop?

    What does this even mean — its evil was beyond evil?
    It’s extremely important to be painfully precise about this — neocons are using the “evil” of NSDAP and the ideology of holocaustism to gin up war against Iran.

    So I think it’s extremely important to know exactly what that evil was.
    Exactly what was this evil?
    When did it take place?
    In what context?
    Based on what evidence?

    The two categories you created — good and evil — suggest that ‘good’ took place in a time when there was no war, and evil took place in the context of war. Is that the case?

    You registered annoyance with being reminded that hundreds of thousands of German civilians were deliberately incinerated in a carefully planned and industrialized system of carpet bombing.

    What is it that annoys you about those facts?

    Are you more or less annoyed with the facts that P C Roberts points to in the articles and book that is the topic of this article, “An Iraqi Holocaust” and “Genocide In Iraq”, by Gideon Polya, based on “Genocide in Iraq” by Abdul-Haq Al-Ani and Tarik Al-Ani.

    When were you first aware that the “lampshades and soap” story was false? How could such a ludicrous story persist that long!

    What effect, if any, did that have on your assessment of any other aspect of the holocaust narrative?

    When were you first aware of the destruction of Dresden?

    Are you aware that a deliberate campaign to destroy most of Germany and German’s working-class civilian population was planned and rehearsed before Sept. 1, 1939? (In fact, within two weeks of the Munich Agreement FDR and Henry Morgenthau, Jr. began plans for the aerial bombardment of Germany. Does that make you more or less alarmed about the Likudnik’s use of the Munich pact to sabotage a deal with Iran?)
    Have you ever heard of Dugway? The fascinating thing about Dugway, where US Air Force practiced creating firestorms to destroy Germany and Japan, is just about 100 miles from the NSA data collection center outside Salt Lake City. Talk about heart of darkness.

  8. bossel says:

    “Therefore it is just that Bush and Blair be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice.” Harold Pinter

    Yep, they should be.

    But then the typical PCR idiocy goes on:

    two satanic leaders

    Clearly someone consumed too much infowars.com

    Putin is the peacemaker.

    Good one. The very same Putin responsible for numerous Russian war crimes in Chechnya?
    He should “be arraigned before the International Criminal Court of Justice” as a war criminal, just like B & B.

    A progressive modern state

    Saddam’s Iraq? Another good one…
    What about Saddam’s war of aggression against Iran? Not to mention uncountable crimes in Iraq itself (eg. poisonous gas attacks in Kurdistan) …

    Washington is an evil force. Washington is Sauron. Washington is Satan.

    & the author is a joke(r).

    Will life on earth be Washington’s next victim?

    Impossible. Ebola doomsday will beat Washington to that. Oh, wait… Washington’s responsible for Ebola as well.
    Right.
    & we’re all dying from it.
    Any moment now…

  9. Renoman says:

    Time to put the tin foil hats in the trash and have some civility Fullas.

  10. Harold says:

    the routine police murders of dark-skinned American citizens.

    PCR believes this because the lying presstitute media told him it was true. He believes whatever they say, so long as it casts America in a bad light.

  11. Max Payne says:

    This article is basically why most Arabs I talk to say negative things about the holocaust of World War 2.

    “If the West (or Jews; for an Arab these are synonymous) won’t acknowledge my suffering why should I acknowledge theirs?”

    Then its followed up by a long monologue about Iraq or Libya or Afghanistan or Palestine or some other place with heavy Western intervention that bred the worst of the worst in all forms of problems.

  12. I hope this latest act of pure, malicious evil won’t be the trigger for WWlll:
