Kevin Annett: Commentary : Genocide - Our Crime of No Consequence

 

Kevin Annett: Commentary: Genocide, Our Crime of No Consequence: The Great Obfuscation Carries On – And some thoughts on what comes next

A Commentary by Kevin D. Annett, especially for all common law workers and patriots in Canada




Children who are routinely raped and tortured don’t smile, despite the blank grimace they must don for official photographs. That’s why I knew the just-released books I came across yesterday on a Vancouver news stand were not simply bullshit, but well crafted ones, complete with front cover images of cheery-faced, well groomed youths. But since the books had to do with Indian residential schools, the lie is not only acceptable, but required now more than ever, here in Canada.

Our Great White North went through an uneasy period, briefly, as it struggled to cope with the facts that I more than anyone have made public: of mass graves of little brown kids, the eyewitnesses who dug the tombs, and the volumes of statistics and letters proving that 50,000 and more innocents were deliberately wiped out by church and state to get rid of the “Indian problem”. National politicians like Gilles Duceppe started referring publicly to “massive deaths” alongside the usual nonsense about “apology and reconciliation”, and the G word even cropped up during media references to the “schools”. But that’s as far as things went; and that period is over.

Nowadays, the clock is being deliberately turned back, and rapidly, as our memories and reason are under assault once again by a Big Brother with more than blood on his hands. Now, we are going back to the days when the church leaders responsible for the crime and its attending cover up can publicly claim without consequence that their motives regarding Indians were only pure. And the mass graves of the children, of course, remain unopened.

An entire history of homegrown murder is once more being officially erased, as are those like me who meticulously documented it, and shoved it in the face of “mainstream” Canada. And since that’s all to be expected, I suppose that one must either just laugh at it all, or pick up the sword again.

Frankly, it’s harder for me to once more hoist the old banner about the Canadian Holocaust, since people are generally dumber nowadays, including the self-styled “progressives” who don’t like to hear about crimes in their own backyard. The standing editorial policy in Canada’s corporate media never to mention my name or cite my work has had its deadly effect. And so even as our campaigns against child torture in high places have spread globally, inspired directly by our successful exposure of genocide in Canada, it is as if that crime never occurred, for there have been no consequences on those who are responsible. Nor will there ever be, under the present Canadian arrangement.

Which brings us, as they say, to the heart of the matter.

We shouldn’t have to live alongside crime, or fund it. That’s just common decency. But the law goes further, and says that we don’t have to and must not collude with such wrong doing. And that simple truth is just beginning to penetrate the hard skull of Canada, namely, that our rulers and our churches have not only nullified our allegiance to them by their wrongs, but have forfeited their very right to exist. Canada, as we know it, is over.

I told that to one of our local Mounties recently, when I showed him the Stand Down Order issued to him and his ilk by the Common Law Court that convicted his boss in London who calls herself a queen of crimes against humanity.

“You’re not obligated to serve a criminal” I informed the cop. He looked troubled, but he didn’t dispute me, and took the Order away with him.

More of these kind of ripples are joining into a wave of change, as mere protest is giving way to something altogether new in our land: an active reclaiming of it, under the banner of a new nation called the Republic of Kanata.

Some of the new bright souls of this movement are much younger than me, thankfully. One of them is a young farmer from Saskatchewan who has told the government’s fraud-driven Canadian Revenue Agency to stand down from their effort to seize her land, using our evidence to show that “crown” courts have neither legitimacy nor lawful standing anymore in Canada.

Another such giant killer of our movement, Steve Finney of Kitchener, Ontario, has forced the local courts to back off from their child-trafficking practice, and to even acknowledge that they are operating as de facto rather than lawful public courts.

Steve and the young farmer and dozens like them are gathering in Winnipeg on October 27 to help found a nation free of a past of crime and corruption. That Republic of Kanata will be one of our answers to the Great Canadian Lie, and to all of those butchered children still lying in the ground, and being trafficked and violated as we speak by wealthy, protected men.

So while the time for holding placards in front of child-killing churches may be over, the time to seize those churches has arrived. And that goes for the court houses and Parliament, too, and yes, all those banks of silver and gold that are draining away the wealth of our land.

Where one door closes, another one always open: even when it comes to Genocide. So long live the Republic, stay tuned for more reports from the front lines … And get on board!

Israel’s apartheid policy and genocide against Palestinians



It is time to set the record straight on Israel’s apartheid policy and genocide against Palestinians and to confront the enemies of truth.

The decades-long extermination of Palestinians, their Arab, Islamic and Christian cultures would not have been possible had the people in the US and Europe had access to objective media reports and facts about the situation in Palestine and Israel.

In reverse, European and US citizens have tolerated their governments complicity with Israeli crimes against Palestinians because billions are spent on a propaganda industry that positions Arabs as villains and sub-human while Israelis, Jews and indeed US and European citizens are positioned as the noble victims.

How pervasive this propaganda is was documented in Dr. Jack Shaheen’s book Real Bad Arabs and a movie under the same title, produced by The Media Education Foundation. Shaheen documents how badly Hollywood has contributed to positioning Arab people as uncivilized, brutal villains, terrorists and outright inhumane or sub-human.

Dr. Shaheen compares Hollywood’s positioning of Arabs with Nazi Germany’s anti-Jewish propaganda. He analyzed more than one thousand Hollywood movies from the oldest in the archives up to the latest Blockbusters in 2001. Nearly 25 percent of all Hollywood movies demean Arabs, concluded Shaheen.

The Disney Classic “Aladdin,” that has been watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide is recycling almost all of the stereotypes used to demean Arabs. It is particularly effective propaganda because it is watched by children and because adults have their guards down when they watch a kid’s cartoon. The theme song of Aladdin is setting the Arabland scene:

“Where they cut off your ear if they don’t like your face, it’s barbaric, but hey, … it’s home.”

People worldwide, especially children, were coached into believing that Arabland is a place where innocent women have their hands amputated for forgetting to pay at a bazaar. Other movies describe Arabs as super-rich, imbecilic, sex-addicted tyrants who mistreat women, and most importantly white American women who are kidnapped and auctioned off.

Meanwhile, there is a steady stream of Hollywood productions that portray the suffering of the European Jews during the 1930s – 40s. No movie has ever been made about the 25,000 Germans who were burned to death during the fire-bombing of Dresden or the at least 17,500 who were burned to death during the firebombing of Pforzheim.

Dr. Jack Shaheen documents that the dehumanizing of Arabs began after World War II and the establishment of the Israeli regime. It increased significantly during the Arab oil embargo in the early seventies.

 


The Hollywood entertainment industry and corporate Western mainstream media establish the skeleton for a Western consensus reality that deprives Arabs of their culture, identity and most of all, their humanity. Once an enemy has been deprived of his humanity, there is no limit to the outrages that will be tolerated by the people.

Nazi Germany succeeded at likening Jews to rats. Hollywood is using exactly the same strategy. The only difference is that it has become more sophisticated, more pervasive and more persuasive. Propaganda explains why the Jewish suffering during World War II is perceived as legitimate while the suffering of Palestinians is ignored.

Human beings have an innate resistance against taking the life of another human being. As long as we don’t speak in terms of psycho-pathology, it takes months of rigorous military training before a person can become a soldier and months more to train a sniper who aims and shoots to kill without a doubt.

Tear down the stage set for Arabland and you will be surprised how different the world looks.

The occupation of Palestine is an illegal military occupation. Settlements and outposts are illegal on occupied Palestinian territories. The organized armed forces of Palestinian factions are, under the provisions of the Geneva Conventions and Hague Conventions, legally-formed military forces which resist an illegal military occupation.

The 2004 bombing of Gaza was the illegal terror bombing of densely populated civilian territories. It was launched without a formal declaration of war and approval from the UN Security Council and thus a war crime, no matter how much the one and the other report attempts to cover-up that fact.

The euphemism “targeted assassination” covers the fact that Israel and the United States engage in premeditated homicide.

The alleged unique suffering of the Jewish people omits legitimate Palestinian suffering. It also omits the fact that forced labor in the former Belgian colony Congo contributed to the death of about 20 percent of the colony’s population.

There are two common denominators for the suffering of European Jews, Palestinians, the Congolese in the former Belgian colony and those butchered and maimed in, for example, Rwanda.

The first common denominator is innocenticide; that is, the inflicting of suffering on millions of innocent people.

The second common denominator is that none of the above would have been possible without first depriving the victims of their humanity.

On Friday morning, June 6, 2014, Israeli police stormed the offices and studios of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) in occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem). The PBC stated that police raided the TV channel’s offices and studios and arrested “Good Morning Jerusalem” director Nader Bebers, Pal Media Coordinator Ashfar Shweiki, and the show’s guest Ala’ al-Haddad at gunpoint.

Al-Haddad is a member of the Jerusalem section of the Committee of Palestinian Detainees. All three were reportedly released after several hours of questioning without being offered legal representation.

Israeli media reported that the show incited violence while Jerusalem police falsely claims that the PBC does not have a license to broadcast. The raid took place against the backdrop of a weeks-long hunger strike of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.

The incident sends a clear message. Those behind the propaganda, the denigration, and the dehumanization of Arabland are afraid of the truth. They will go to any lengths to oppress it. The challenge is to go to any lengths to deconstruct the stage set for Arabland; to show the true face of Palestine and the true face of Zionism. It is time to set the record straight. Silence is complicity.
