How could we allow this to happen?
Not just the deaths of all those Iraqis - death happens everywhere - all the time - in every part of the word.
I mean - the death of our freedom, the death of our will, the death of our conscience?
The first thing the Americans learned to do to stop accurate body counts getting out wasto start eliminating doctors, journalists, clerics, intellectuals - anyone who could corroborate the figures of the murdered.
Proscribed murder on a genocidal scale, followed by satan-worshipping fascists like Michelle Malkin and the entire staff of Fox News. Freedom? Only when served on a mortuary slab. Cold. American Deli style. And when you burn in hell Malkin, you and your hating and hateful cohorts, you will beg for forgiveness and will receive only eternal punishment as your answer. For you and your ilk are an affront to freedom, to liberty, to justice, to humanity. You stand for all that is wrong with society today and you defend it and venerate it and worship it. The Cult of the Diseased Mind.
We should have known when even the embedded propaganda reporters pulled out. Those remember, are the reporters approved by the killing machine of AmeriKKKa.
When Fallujah happened…
We knew it before they went in…we knew…we knew we’d be lied to - remember what the first casualty of war is. Remember. It died along with the 650,000 Iraqis dead thanks to the lies of Bush and Blair. It died. It died. And everybody slept - few wept.
And people around the world, especially the western world, will happily eat their dinners tonight, oblivious, silent, compliant, not even fully aware that they’re alive, but satisfied that Muslims are dead. Yes. White people happy at the death of brown people. Don’t act surprised. Don’t look shocked. It’s been the way for centuries.
White people are happy when brown people die. Because they believe it makes them safer. Hell, some brown and black people are happy when brown people die. And when the biggest terrorist plot of recent times is buried, because it’s by the BNP, because it’s by white people - and yet brown people are arrested for not having a passport or a ticket for a plot that never existed and the key is thrown away, why should anyone be surprised? I mean, those fascists weren’t even charged under the Prevention of Terrorism Act! Why not?
Isn’t it funny that real fascists get away with such heinous disregard for life, whilst lending its name to a religion that has been so brazenly defiled and denigrated by so many white people? Is it a coincidence that Ratzinger, Bush, Blair, Olmert, Sharon, Howard and that Canadian bitch Harper are white? It’s alright for them to attack Islam and rename it “Islamofascism”. But they can’t bring themselves to call a spade a spade. Fascists are OK. That’s because they are fascists. They just don’t look in the mirror, that’s all.
White man speak with forked tongue! The Indians got fucked. (Red and Brown). By white people. The Aborigines got fucked. By guess who? The Africans got fucked. By guess who? The Chinese got fucked in the Opium wars. By guess who? The Vietnamese got fucked. By guess who? The Central Americans got fucked……but I digress….it’s about class, not race….it’s just that there’s a lot more rich and powerful white people than the other lot….you know…the savages that it’s OK to wipe out…
I feel as if I too have been infected by the hypocrisy, that it weeps from my pores and I can never wash it off no matter how much I protest I am not like them..I am an honorary white man. And I have to live with the fact that my taxes went on arms that killed children.
Because I am them
I cannot deny it
Fuck
fuck fuck
FUCK!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I despair of humanity and of my own…
I just don’t get it…
When I was busy earning a coin at the behest of the machine
When I was watching England play football (shit shit shit)
When I was eating my fucking sandwiches from Pret
How could I not hear the cries of all the bereaved?
How did that grief not travel?
How?
HOW???
And what of Bush? The dirty, lying bastard. The truthkiller. The evil skull&bonesing, bohemiangroving, bilderberging bitch. What did you expect him to say?
“I don’t consider it a credible report,” Mr Bush told a White House press conference in response to a study published in the medical journal The Lancet. “Neither does General Casey, neither do Iraqi officials,” he added, referring to George Casey, the top US general in Iraq.
And what - we are to believe Bush and his generals are more credible than The Lancet? Would that be because Bush has never lied perhaps? Him and his bitch Bliar? “Bush and Blair: The Truthful Ones”?!?!? Are we really so soul-dead? Who flushed our morality, our humanity, our discernment down the fucking toilet and why did we let them?
You know, when news like this comes out, you expect it to be obliterated by a minor distraction. A couple of people die in Manhattan and it’s all over the Zionaxis Media of the world and the fact that 650,000 people have been killed as a result of American (let’s not forget their bitches, Britain and Australia) aggression against defenceless Iraq is totally forgotten. It’s as if Winston from 1984, working at Minitrue, has already wiped it off the pages of history. That’s the Internet for you. Print fades after decades. The web can fade in seconds.
Don’t take your eye off the ball. Fuck unholy Manhattan. Seriously. Fuck Manhattan. Look at Iraq. Look at Palestine. Look at Sudan. Look at Uzbekistan. Look at Chechnya. Look at Afghanistan. Look at Kashmir. Look at Tibet. Look at Rwanda. Look at Uganda. Fuck Manhattan - get your priorities straight humanity.
Don’t take your eye of the ball. Oh no, it’s too late. You’ve had your high-carb, high-fat meal in front of the telly, you’ve got work tomorrow and the 650,000 your fat ass paid to have killed is a dim and distant memory. Sometimes, when I think about embracing humanity, I wonder where I will find it. Sometimes, I look inside, and I can’t even see it there, only emptiness. And there’s only so much emptiness, a hollow man can take.
“We don’t do body counts,” said General Tommy Franks of US Central Command.
Thankfully, there are white people with a conscience. Not all white people are bad. Not all brown people are good. What, you think the House of Saud has its hands clean? Money. Power. Corruption.
It doesn’t change the facts - it’s been about the white oppressor for centuries. That is not emotion, it is just fact. Oppressors and tyrants are evil for sure, but Bush and his ilk are on a completely different level. They have raped the truth and told the world that the truth was wearing high heels and a miniskirt and just begging for it.
I want to see your heads on spikes and spat upon by humanity for your lies, your evil and your torment. Your unworthy heads on spikes, spat upon by the families of the 650,000. Spat upon by humanity. Denigrated oon YouTube forever for your callous indifference.
How did we let this happen?
And what can we do to stop it getting worse? What can be done? What will we actually do?

Apparently, it isn’t a holocaust when muslims are the victims. Unquestionable, evil, murderous rampage on innocent people and the biased world pays little or no attention. It doesn’t even matter if it was 100,000 or 600,000, mass murder is mass murder and genocide is genocide.
I am sick to my stomach with how this insane world works.
Thanks for this very important post, Shahid. I can always depend on you to highlight what is the most relevant issue. Thank you!

A response seems almost pointless, I too am hollow and share your anger at others and my own inaction. How can we all sit idly by and be complicit in this genocide?
David Eastman 10.12.06 at 11:16 pm
One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic. You can’t respond to death on that scale.

We are always silent when it comes to reckoning our own crimes. So far not one statistician has come forward to dispute the methodologies used in the Lancet report. Imagine, Gen Casey hasn’t even read the report but he scoffed at the report saying the figure of 655,000 is way off. The disparaging of the report come from individuals who have a stake in keeping the true scale of the horror in Iraq from the public. Each headline I have seen carries within it a comment that is designed to leave question marks over the mind of the uncritical reader, they can return to eating dinner completely undisturbed by the carnage. But as Daniel Davies said in yesterday’s Guardian, “I cannot help but note that this “controversy†consists of ten parts people like you saying that there is a controversy, mixed with zero parts actual statisticians raising concerns about the utterly uncontroversial methods employed.†Zobgy, the CDC and others have stated that the methodology used is standard. I hope that this gives people the impetus to start challenging the methodology that claimed only 30,000 people have died or Blair’s lies that 300,000 people have been buried in mass graves in Iraq.

Can you please stop the white bashing? How many white people marched and campaigned against this war? How many whites hate Bliar and Co.? Dont tar us all with the same brush please. No people are free from the baggage of history. Muslim traders invaded most of the lands now under Islam, and were trading African slaves long before the Europeans. The Mixtecs conquered, well just about all the other ‘tecs and sacrificed a hell of a lot of them. The Inca forcibly moved entire communities hundreds of miles. And the Bantu expansion wasn’t exactly the most peacefull on record. The Europeans were merely better equiped for conquest than other peoples - not actually any nastier.
Yes the figures are horrific almost beyond belief, and innocent blood dishonours us all. But remember the first rule of Empire building is to “divide and conquer” so don’t let our criminal political classes sow dissent within the ranks of the wised-up electorate. If they do that we’ll never get rid of them, exactly what they want. So the browns hate the whites and the whites fear the browns - makes us all so easy to rule (not govern as that implies some sense of duty on their part).

moflard - you’re right of course - but I bash pakis and niggers and chinks and jews and everyone else too. Please don’t take it personally - I have made the point many times that it’s a money thing more than anything else, but I do forget myself in impassioned writing from time to time.
I take comfort from the fact that I not only have friends of all religions, creeds, colours and persuasions, but enemies of all colours etc. too.
I am quite fallible, please don’t take everything I write as a fatwa and afford me some licence - but feel free to pull me up as you have done - and you are correct to do so.

Muslims love fighting, thats why you fight where ever you are against anyone stupid enought to take you in. My only regret is we have not killed more of you, but hey you’ll give us another reason while whining about YOU being the victim. Then we’ll teach you what a real holocaust is. DEATH TO ISLAM!
100%londoner 0%muslim 11.11.06 at 9:36 pm
Here, what is the death toll in sudan? Oh, sorry thats muslims killing people…again, so they probably have a good reason. Strange how you only cry when muslims die.

personally, i could care less if this thing wages on a few more years. its not like the idea of war was born 6 months ago. funny how it seems the more advanced we (humans) become in communication, the less we realize how quickly we judge and verbally abuse one another. let me ask you all who read this a little question: do you have superpowers? can you float around like an invisible entity at the scene of every battle/firefight/skirmish that has occurred for the past couple years and remember it all? you can? good. then email me who we should blame. oh you cant? oh. welllll, how about we play a little game called shut the fuck up. but im sure this isnt the first and certainly wont be the last i-need-attention-so-ill-gripe-about-war-and-government posts. you know, if youre going to post things, try not to slander another country or race because of opinion of media which youve seen/heard which you cant possibly prove any time soon.
bob marley 07.12.07 at 9:31 pm
you curry stinking paki motherfucker, all of you move back to your own pissing country where you belong. Your fucking race is ruining our country you fucking scum bag. There aint no black in the union jack, so fuck off and don’t come back. Yeah i am racist but you know what, i just don’t give a fuck. Look at all the terrorists, what colour are they?????? exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shahid 07.12.07 at 10:48 pm
Dear “bob marley” (I will simply refer to you as CUNT from now on)
What colour were the IRA?
What colour was the cunt that blew up the pub in Soho?
What colour are those BNP terrorist cunts on trial for the biggest chemical haul in British history?
You’re right, there is no black in the “union jack”, but if you had any idea about your “own country”, you daft fucking cunt, you would know that in Britain (that’s my country, not yours you inbred cunt), the flag is actually known as the UNION FLAG. There’s no pink in the “union jack” either you thick cunt, so that rules out your colour, you smelly once-a-week-bathing cunt. (Pakis are actually very clean, they shower regularly, and wash 5 times a day, so they’re less likely to smell than the Queen, a benefit of being Muslim, you stupid cunt!) Oh and furthermore, there’s no brown in the Union Flag either you imbecilic cunt. I am brown by the way. Kind of ruins your fucked up anthem, doesn’t it, you fucking racist, smelly, pink, pigfucking cunt!!!
Now go and fuck your mother, because motherfucking is a peculiarly inbred, racist white, hillbilly thing to do. Cunt!
