Nation Abandonment: the Catch Phrase for the 21st Century

Wayne MADSEN

Future historians, if they exist, will look back in amazement at the leaders of three nations in particular. The leaders – Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and US President Donald Trump – not only ignore, but criticized and question solid scientific data that the planet is in extreme environmental danger of a global catastrophe. Making matters worse, these leaders continue to advocate for damaging measures – coal burning, rainforest destruction, and fossil fuel vehicles – that worsen the extinction-level peril to humans and most other living things on the planet. Our future historians will discuss whether the political leadership of the early 21st century was driven by some crazed religious desire for “specicide” of the human race, as well as other species.
Morrison and Bolsonaro believe in Pentecostalist notions of the inevitability of the “end times.” In fact, their religious beliefs stand on the “end times” being preceded by catastrophes like floods, pandemics, wars, earthquakes, and, to finish off the planet prior to the “second coming” of Jesus, planet-wide fire. Former Australian Labor Party leader Bill Shorten declared Morrison to be a “coal-wielding, climate-denying cave dweller.” Former National Party leader and Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce echoed Morrison’s sentiments when he opined that climate change is not human-made but a natural development: “The very idea that we can stop climate change is barking mad. Climate change is inevitable, as geology has always shown.” Jones, like others of his ilk, rejects scientific evidence that the Earth is experiencing cascading effects of climate change as various tipping points – loss of rain forests, glaciers, ice sheets, and permafrost; ocean and air temperature rise; sea-level increases, and greenhouse gas emissions – are exceeded.
Morrison’s disbelief in climate change is overshadowed by Australia experiencing unprecedented massive bushfires that have destroyed hundreds of homes, burnt hundreds of thousands of acres, placed the nation’s iconic koala bears on the near-extinction list, and thrust the Sydney metropolitan area into extreme jeopardy. The years 2017, 2018, and 2019 have been the hottest in Australia in recorded meteorological history.
In November of this year, states of emergency were declared in New South Wales and Victoria, with fire outbreaks also occurring in Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania. The Australian brushfires have been so intense, the sky over New Zealand was darkened by smoke and ash drifting across the Tasman Sea. Dangerous fires crept within nine miles of Sydney’s city center and suburban institutions like Macquarie University and the Sydney Adventist Hospital were in danger of incineration. In a November 2018 report, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) cited Australia as one of the nations that failed to meet C02 reduction milestones. Other scofflaws include Argentina, Canada, the European Union, United Kingdom, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United States.
It is ironic that Australia, which was colonized by white Europeans, may be the first nation – as well as an entire continent – to be abandoned by the descendants of the original colonists and later arrivals. Where the Aborigines, the original inhabitants of Australia, will be able to cope with a continent swept by desertification remains to be seen. However, if any group can adapt to a post-environmental disaster Australia, it will be the highly adaptable Aborigines. According to Aboriginal oral histories, between 7,000 and 12,000 years ago, the Aborigines were able to survive a global sea-level rise that inundated Australia’s coastlines. Native Australians built wooden dams and boiled off encroaching waters with super-heated rocks in attempts to stem the flooding of their land.
In the 1959 film “On the Beach,” starring Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner, the only survivors of a global nuclear war are the people of Australia. As lethal radiation spreads from the northern to southern hemispheres, it is only a matter of time before the Australians succumb to either mass suicide or radiation poisoning. With global climate collapse, Australia represents an “On the Beach” scenario in reverse, with a slight glimmer of hope that the indigenous Australians might survive.
The Amerindians of the Amazon rainforest will not be as fortunate as the Aborigines. Bolsonaro and his pathetic regime of fascists, racists, end-timer “Christians,” and industrial exploiters believe they have been ordained with a “manifest destiny” to destroy the Amazon Basin for agri-business, timber harvesting, mining, and ranching. Bolsonaro has championed the burning of the Amazon region, dubbed the “lungs of the Earth by environmentalists, to the point that he has been nicknamed ‘BolsoNERO.”
Bolsonaro has gone as far as to blame environmentalists for igniting the fires to gain international sympathy for the Amazonian natives. Bolsonaro has vowed to invade and occupy the heretofore protected 600 reserves of some 300 indigenous tribes that speak 270 different languages. The threatened tribes include the Yanomami, Matsés, Kaingang, Karipuna, Araribóia, Munduruku, Arawa, Marãwatsédé, Awa, Caru, and Uru-eu-wau-wau. In August of this year, there were so many deliberate fires set in the Amazon by exploiters that the skies over the metropolis of Sao Paulo were darkened at midday. To Pentecostalists like Bolsonaro and his political and religious flock, who represent 68 percent of Brazil’s growing evangelical population, the Earth’s resources are divined by God for nothing more than exploitation.
After winning the presidential election, Bolsonaro, who claims to admire both Adolf Hitler and Jesus Christ, said, “If it were up to me, we would not have any more indigenous areas in the country.” If Bolsonaro and his fascists and militarists have their way, there will eventually be no Amazon rainforest left to exploit. The indigenous Amazonians cannot recover their natural homelands once they have been destroyed. Brazil will be left as a desiccated wasteland unfit for habitation by any species, save for a few hearty ground beetles and scorpions.
Mr. Trump, who does not practice the lifestyle of a Christian fundamentalist, nevertheless commands their utmost loyalty. Trump all but ignored devastating and lethal wildfires that in 2018 destroyed almost 2 million acres, resulting in $12 billion in insurance claims. Each year, wind-driven wildfires in California become progressively more intense and widespread and 2019 was no different. One recent fire near Los Angeles came close to incinerating the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Ironically, Reagan was a notorious climate change skeptic. The 2019 wildfire season saw electrical utilities shut off power to over one million Californians because of the threat that downed power lines could cause additional catastrophic fires.
Trump British ally and physical and political doppelganger Boris Johnson, along with his Brexit cohort, Nigel Farage, are notorious climate change deniers. As Atlantic hurricanes begin to change their tracks northward and northeastward, the coasts of England, Wales, Cornwall, Ireland, and Scotland have been treated to the type of coastal storm devastation that usually affects Florida and the Carolinas in the United States. Mr. Trump continues to deny the increased severity of higher intensity hurricanes resulting from climate change that have turned the Florida Panhandle, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands into scenes reminiscent of bombed out cities in war zones.
A recent televised British general election debate on climate change was boycotted by Tory leader Johnson and Brexit Party leader Farage. The debate was attended by Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Liberal Democratic leader Jo Swinson, Scottish First Minister and Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon, Green Party leader Sian Berry, and Welsh Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price. In refusing to participate in the debate, Johnson and Farage joined the ranks of Trump, Bolsonaro, and Morrison in ignoring an extinction-level cascading global environmental collapse. One day, if there are any historians left to mull over the decisions made during the present era, these five imbeciles, along with their fellow-travelers, will richly deserve the condemnation of future scribes and chroniclers.

U.S. move to form coalition in Persian Gulf ‘not feasible’: Japanese professor

By Negar Asadi

TEHRAN - Hisae Nakanishi, a professor of International Relations of the Middle East at Doshisha University in Japan, believes that the United States’ move to form a maritime coalition in the Persian Gulf is “unwise and even not feasible”.
“The U.S. hopes to encircle Iran by the cooperation with those states which the U.S. considers its allies in the Middle East and by pressuring Iran. I consider this U.S. move unwise and even not feasible. So far, a limited number of the states have joined the coalition and many other states are prudent not easily expressing their desire to join,” she tells the Tehran Times in an exclusive interview.
Nakanishi says this decision by the U.S. is not isolated from a series of the Washington’s unilateral actions.  
“It started from withdrawal from the JCPOA [the official name for the 2015 nuclear deal] in May 2018.  The U.S. major objective is to increase tension in the Persian Gulf that serves for Trump’s gaining more votes for the 2020 Presidential Election,” she said.
Nakanishi also said that it is a wise decision by major countries who have refused to join the coalition, noting supporting such a coalition means supporting “illegality in international law”.
“It is a wise decision that major countries such as Japan and Germany have refrained from participating in the coalition.”
“It is wise for the major countries to have refrained from joining the coalition including Japan and Germany. The current tension in the region started from the U.S. breaching international law by abandoning the JCPOA.  Thus, participation in the coalition has a serious ramification: it would mean to support the illegality in international law,” she stated.
She added, “As Prime Minister Abe of Japan clearly stated during his visit to Iran in June and at the time of the latest G7, Japan does not hope to see conflict in the Persian Gulf and hopes that Iran plays a constructive role in securing peace in the region. Moreover, the participation of Japan’s Self Defense Army is not legally supported in Japan’s constitution. It goes without saying that Japan and Iran have historically maintained a good relationship. So, it was a natural decision for Japan not to join the coalition.”
Commenting on participation of Israel, the UK and Australia in the coalition, she said what is important for those states is to express their support for the U.S.
“As a matter of fact, it is not clear to what extent Israel will commit itself to the coalition.  It expressed to cooperate with U.S. only for collecting information.  Yet, what is important for those states is to express their support for the U.S. policy. Israel is likely to continuously fire into Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Yet, this does not mean that it deploys its military in the Persian Gulf with other coalition states. It is not new in the case of the UK and Australia.  Both UK and Australia have already played a crucial role in their intervention in Afghanistan and again in Iraq by participating in the U.S.-led coalition in their war against Saddam,” she explained.
The professor added, “What matters most is the political and military implication of the coalition formation.  The U.S. has its allied states in the Persian Gulf such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.  Thus, the coalition making is for the sake of the U.S. enhancing its leverage toward these countries.  On the other hand, the more tense the Persian Gulf situation gets, the more weapons and fighter jets those allied states buy from the U.S.”
“The coalition is aimed at increasing military tension (in the Persian Gulf).”
“The UK is also among other weapon sale states in the Middle East.  The coalition making actually serves such an economic interest of the U.S. These circumstances considered, the U.S. primary goal in the coalition making is to increase the military tension, not really is presuming to engage in the military act in the region at this point. Overall, the fact that not many states have joined the coalition suggests decline of the U.S. power in the Middle East,” opined the professor of Doshisha University.
The United States has called on its European and Asian allies to form a maritime force to supposedly monitor safe shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf.
So far, only Britain, Australia and Bahrain have agreed to join the coalition.

Australia’s politicians have a history of ‘othering’ Muslims and normalising right wing bigotry

RAMONA WADI

Following the New Zealand terror attack, there has been a plethora of statements from politicians worldwide, ranging from perfunctory condolences to victim blaming. Australian Senator Fraser Anning’s tweet, “Does anyone still dispute the link between Muslim immigration and violence?” is not a solitary sentiment. Indeed, the only factor distinguishing Anning from the right-wing elements in any society is his political office, which gives him leverage to influence and incite the masses against minorities.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison condemned Anning’s statements, yet his intervention does not reflect a consistent approach. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Morrison had, as opposition spokesman for immigration in 2011, urged “to capitalise on the electorate’s growing concerns about Muslim immigration, Muslims in Australia and the inability of Muslim migrants to integrate.”
This month, Australian Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann, spoke out against refugees and asylum seekers stranded on Nauru accessing medical treatment in Australia. Morrison backed the arguments, stating, “If we’ve got to treat more people in Australia then obviously they’re going to take the place of people who were getting that treatment anyway. It’s just simple math.” The government’s claims were contradicted by medical directors, who said that asylum seekers and refugees could be accommodated to seek treatment.
Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s national security address in 2015 also focused on the purported terror threat from Muslims. People, he said, are angry, “because all too often the threat comes from someone who has enjoyed the hospitality and generosity of the Australian people.”
But right-wing terrorists in Western countries, not just Australia, are part of the social fabric of which politicians regularly seek to exclude Muslims, whether they are refugees or not. The politics of exclusion advocated by governments and politicians has created extremist views on who deserves to belong and who doesn’t, thus altering the political and social fabric of society. When the tactic backfires, or rather, reveals its true colours, as Australian right-wing terrorist did in New Zealand, political reactions veer towards either denying right-wing incitement and actuation of violence, or else taking a temporary step back from right-wing incitement until media hype turns its attention elsewhere.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) states that “Sunni Islamist extremism is the primary terrorist threat facing Australia.”
Michelle Grossman from Deakin University stated that terror attacks such as Brenton Tarrant’s are difficult to predict “because they tended to be lone actors or work in very small cells.”
While this might be true, there is also a political process behind such isolation. Western governments have consistently played upon white privilege and purported democracy to promote their intervention politics. The mainstream acceptance of such violence also contains the ability to conceal violence through normalisation, hence the absence of action when it comes to tackling far-right hatred and incitement to violence. If politicians have endorsed this philosophy through their rhetoric, the next step would be to uphold its support base within society.
Incitement to terrorism by governments, therefore, must be regarded as one of the main influences.
No matter the postulating on values in the aftermath of bloodshed such as occurred in New Zealand, the truth is that government incitement against Muslims and refugees has created the space within society for the right-wing to be perceived as a movement, as well as an isolated phenomenon, depending on what suits political interests at the given moment. The terms “invasion” and “defending our country” – typical of the right-wing – are not without precedents in political rhetoric, as governments pits society against each other to ensure an accumulation of votes.
Amid this intentionally orchestrated hatred, which governments disguise under diplomacy, it is worth remembering the origins of invasion and how, in recent years, the same discourse was mellowed for public acceptance under the pretext of foreign intervention and “bringing democracy” to the Middle East.

How is it possible to justify right-wing terrorism as a lone act when one needs only to look at incitement from the highest political echelons?

US- , Apartheid Israel- And Zionist-beholden Australian Government & ABC Betray Australia’s Reputation & International Relations

Australia has an appalling 70 year record, surpassed only by the US, of support for genocidally racist  Apartheid Israel and hence of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide that commenced with the British invasion of Palestine in WW1. Recently the fervently pro-Zionist and hence pro-Apartheid Australian Coalition Government caused suspension of the signing a major Free Trade Agreement with Indonesia (the world’s most populous Muslim country and Australia’s neighbour) by foreshadowing possible movement of the Australian embassy to Jerusalem. A Zionist-beholden  ABC (the Australian equivalent of the UK BBC) has contributed to this pro-Zionist immorality through flagrant lying by omission.
In the Six Day War in 1967   a nuclear weapons-armed Apartheid Israel war criminally attacked and seized territory from all its neighbours [1-5]. One day after cessation of hostilities the Israeli Government decided to annexe Occupied East Jerusalem  and  2 weeks later this war criminal theft was formalized by Israeli law. In 1980 Apartheid Israel legislated that a unified Jerusalem including Occupied East Jerusalem was the capital of Apartheid Israel. The Indigenous Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem were also forcibly annexed as non-voting citizens of Apartheid Israel in gross violation of the UN Genocide Convention and the Geneva Convention.  [1, 6-9].  The UN Security Council (unanimously except for US abstention) rejected this war criminal theft. Thus Wikipedia: “United Nations Security Council [UNSC] Resolution 478, adopted on 20 August 1980, is one of seven UNSC resolutions condemning Israel’s attempted annexation of East Jerusalem. In particular, UNSC res 478 notes Israel’s non-compliance with UNSC res 476 and condemned Israel’s 1980 Jerusalem Law which declared Jerusalem to be Israel’s “complete and united” capital, as a violation of international law. The resolution states that the Council will not recognize this law, and calls on member states to accept the decision of the council. This resolution also calls upon member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from the city. The resolution was passed with 14 votes to none against, with the United States abstaining” [9].
UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) (passed unanimously except for Obama US abstention) also condemns the criminal annexation of Occupied East Jerusalem, stating: “ [It] 1.   Reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; 2.   Reiterates its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respect all of its legal obligations in this regard; 3.   Underlines that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations” [10].
Trump America and US lackey Australia were both outraged by UNSC Resolution 2334 and firmly rejected it [11-13]. This rejection made pro-Apartheid Israel Australia second only to the US as a supporter of Apartheid Israel. However many anti-racist Jewish humanitarians supported UNSC Resolution 2334 [13], this making them subjects of the utterly false and defamatory Zionist canard that they are “anti-Semites” for being critical of Apartheid Israel. This mendacious canard has been a major weapon in the propaganda armoury of the racist Zionist fanatics that has been routinely used to defame anti-racist Jews and non-Jews critical of the appalling crimes of Apartheid Israel.
The  Australian ABC (Australia’s taxpayer-funded equivalent  of the UK BBC)  has, like the UK BBC,  an appalling, genocide-ignoring  record of non-reportage in relation to the ongoing Palestinian Genocide [3] and the ongoing Muslim Genocide and Muslim Holocaust  [14] of which it is  a part, noting that genocide-ignoring and holocaust-ignoring are far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial because the latter at least admit the possibilities  of public refutation  and public debate   [15-22]. Conversely, the ABC regularly gives air-time to appalling and utterly false Zionist defamation of anti-racist Jews and non-Jews critical of Apartheid Israel as “anti-Semitic” [23].
Below is an Open Letter to ABC journalists sent to them on 5 November 2018:    
 START LETTER. Dear ABC journalist,
Open Letter re ABC anti-Jewish anti-Semitism
Labelling as anti-Semitic anti-racists who support Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, serial war criminal, democracy-by-genocide   Apartheid Israel  is false and defamatory, and when applied to anti-racist Jewish BDS supporters (of whom there are many) it is also  utterly repugnant anti-Jewish anti-Semitism.
As a Jewish Holocaust-impacted,  anti-racist Jewish Australian humanist (if you really must, 57% Ashkenazi Jewish and 24% British Celtic by DNA analysis) I am of course utterly opposed to nuclear weapons, ethnic cleansing, war, war crimes, human rights abuse, abuse of women and children, and apartheid – appalling things that Apartheid Israel does in spades.
Thus Apartheid Israel has acquired up to 400 nuclear weapons, attacked 12 countries, occupied the territory of 5, expelled 1.2 million Indigenous inhabitants  (0.8 million Indigenous Palestinians in 1948 and 0.4 million more Arabs in 1967), ethnically cleansed 90% of Palestine in an ongoing Palestinian Genocide, and flagrantly violated  international laws and conventions (notably ICJ determinations,  UN resolutions, the Geneva Convention and the UN Genocide Convention).
Of about 14 million Indigenous Palestinians (50% children, 75% women and children)  7 million  Exiled Palestinians are forbidden entering Palestine on pain of death, 5 million Occupied Palestinians are violently and highly abusively confined with zero human rights and without charge or trial to the Gaza Concentration Camp (2 million) or to West Bank ghettoes (3 million),  and nearly 2 million “lucky” Israeli Palestinians are Third Class citizens under about 50 Nazi-style, anti-Arab anti-Semitic Apartheid Israeli laws.
Presently Indigenous  Palestinian subjects of Apartheid Israel outnumber Jewish Israelis but 74% are excluded from voting for the government ruling them i.e. egregious apartheid. 2.3 million Indigenous Palestinians have died from violence (0.1 million) or from imposed deprivation (2.2 million) since the British invasion of Palestine in WW1. Now each year Apartheid Israel violently kills about 500 Indigenous Palestinians and passively  murders a further 4,000 through  imposed deprivation – the per capita GDP is $40,000 for Israelis and a deadly $3,000 for their Occupied Palestinian subjects.
Unfortunately most Australians are largely unaware of the above because the ABC (Australia’s taxpayer-funded equivalent of the UK BBC) and other Australian Mainstream media are party to a US- and Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream media culture of fake news through lying by omission, noting that lying by omission is far, far worse than lying by commission because the latter can at least permit public refutation and public debate.
As a patriotic, anti-racist Jewish Australian and a keen listener to the ABC since about 1950 (I was Ossa 46 as an ABC Argonaut) I demand immediate cessation of the ABC’s continuing involvement in false defamation of anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish humanitarians opposed to the appalling crimes of Apartheid Israel. Such false defamation of anti-racist Jews  constitutes egregious anti-Jewish anti-Semitism –  and the tragic history of my family and of many millions more attests to what anti-Jewish anti-Semitism can lead to.
All ABC journalists should examine their consciences and look themselves in the mirror – silence is complicity.
Yours sincerely, Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne, Australia.
To ensure that you know, and that silence really is complicity, see:

The Silence has been Deafening.
 To help ABC journalists examine their consciences one can Search the ABC itself for key matters that the Zionist-beholden ABC  totally or largely  ignores and using either (A) the Old ABC Search device or (B) the New ABC Search device put in place in the last week.  
(A). The Old ABC Search device.
This recently supplanted ABC Search device  detects all things broadcast by the ABC in recent decades. However of the total results (denoted Total) in the present Search typically very few actually involve the ABC itself commenting on the matter searched for (denoted ABC) and a significant number derive from a comment on the ABC item by me, Gideon Polya, and published on the relevant ABC website (denoted Polya). Also note that “holocaust” means the death of a huge number of people whereas “genocide” is defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group”.
“Aboriginal Genocide” ( 2 million Indigenous Australians killed through violence, 0.1 million, or  disease and deprivation, 1.9 million, since the British invasion): 35 (Total), 4 (ABC), 23 (Polya).
“Afghan Genocide” (7 million deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation): 59 (Total),  0 (ABC), 59 (Polya).
“Afghan Holocaust”( 7 million deaths from violence or war-imposed deprivation):  59 (Total),  0 (ABC), 59 (Polya).
“Apartheid Israel” (74% of Israel’s 50% Indigenous Palestinian subjects cannot vote): 100 (Total), 5 (ABC), 95 (Polya).
“avoidable mortality” (16 million avoidable deaths from deprivation each year, 1,500 million since 1950), “global avoidable mortality” and “global avoidable mortality holocaust”: 2 (Total), 0 (ABC), 2 (Polya).
“Bengali Holocaust” (6-7 million Bengali and other Indian deaths, 1942-1945): 37 (Total), 0 (ABC), 37 (Polya).
“Chinese Holocaust” (35 million Chinese killed under the Japanese, 1937-1945): 7 (Total), 0 (ABC), 7 (Polya).
“Gaza concentration camp” (2 million highly abused Palestinian inmates with zero human rights, 50% children, 75% women and children): 13 (Total), 0 (ABC), 13 (Polya).
“Indian Holocaust” (1,800 million deaths from deprivation under the British , 1757-1947; also see “Bengali Holocaust”): 4 (Total), 0 (ABC), 4 (Polya).
“Iraqi Genocide” (4.6 million dead from violence, 1.7 million, or deprivation 2.9 million, via US-led sanctions, war  and occupation): 59 (Total), 0 (ABC), 59 (Polya).
“Iraqi Holocaust” (4.6 million dead from violence, 1.7 million, or deprivation 2.9 million, via US-led sanctions, war  and occupation): 32 (Total), 0 (ABC), 32 (Polya).
“Libyan Genocide” (0.1 million killed and 1 million refugees via the France, UK and US (FUKUS) Alliance, 2011 – present): 8 (Total), 0 (ABC), 8 (Polya).
“Libyan Holocaust” (0.1 million killed and 1 million refugees via the France, UK and US (FUKUS) Alliance, 2011 – present): 0 (Total).
“Maori Genocide” (0.1-0.2 million deaths from violence or deprivation in British invasion, 19th century): 2 (Total), 0 (ABC), 2 (Polya).
“Muslim Genocide” (32 million dead from violence, 5 million, or deprivation, 28 million in US-led War on Muslims since 2001): 54 (Total), 0 (ABC), 54 (Polya).
“Muslim Holocaust” (32 million dead from violence, 5 million, or deprivation, 28 million in US-led War on Muslims since 2001): 64 (Total), 1 (ABC/Polya), 63 (Polya).
Pacific Island Genocide (hundred of thousands killed by British-introduced disease, 19th century): 1 (Total), 0 (ABC), 1 (Polya).
“Palestinian Genocide” (2.3 million dead from violence, 0.1 million) or deprivation 2.2 million, 1914-): 71 (Total), 0 (ABC), 71 (Polya).
“Somali Genocide” (2.2 million killed through violence or deprivation in US-backed war, 1992-present): 9 (Total), 0 (ABC), 9 (Polya).
“Somali Holocaust” (2.2 million killed through violence or deprivation in US-backed war, 1992-present): 0 (Total).
“Syrian Genocide” (0.5 million killed and 11 million refugees, 2012-present via US-backed civil war): 3 (Total), 0 (ABC), 3 (Polya).
“Syrian Holocaust” (0.5 million killed and 11 million refugees, 2012-present via US-backed civil war): 0 (Total).
“Yemeni Genocide” and “Yemeni Holocaust” (tens of thousands killed, hundreds of thousands dead from deprivation via US-backed war, 2015-present): 0 (Total).
Genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring  are far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial because the latter at least admit the possibility (subject to Zionist and One Percenter censorship)  of public refutation and public debate. The sad catalogue above reveals massive genocide ignoring  and holocaust ignoring  by  the ABC.   In stark contrast, the ABC has huge coverage of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed through violence or deprivation) that was part of a much larger but overwhelmingly ignored WW2 European Holocaust (30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies killed). Indeed the ABC follows the Zionist-imposed Western Mainstream media practice of ignoring the WW2 European Holocaust by referring to the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as “The Holocaust”.  ABC  Searches for “Jewish Holocaust” and “The Holocaust” yield 105 and 1,690 results, respectively. Similarly, in recent years look-the-other-way Australians have become aware of the WW1 Armenian Genocide (1.5 million killed by the Turks) that commenced on 24 April 1915, the day before the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) invasion of Turkey at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 (and since then commemorated as Anzac Day, the most sacred day of remembering war dead in Australia and New Zealand). An ABC Search for “Armenian Genocide ” yields 164 results.
(B). The New ABC Search device (“ABC Search beta”).
In the last week the ABC has brought in a new ABC search device that concentrates on ABC items from the last 2 years while also covering 25% of prior items. The  massive genocide ignoring  and holocaust ignoring  by  the ABC is much more starkly revealed by the New ABC Search device that is called “ABC Search beta”. As set out above in (A), Gideon Polya had to some extent salvaged the truth-telling reputation of the ABC by publishing humane comments on ABC websites, However  submissions of  “Polya” and “Gideon Polya” to the New ABC Search device yield zero (0) results. With the New ABC Search device the appalling extent of ABC genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring is in your face and unadorned by  the opinions of decent humanitarians   such as myself.
Here are the results of Searches on “ABC Search beta” for the holocaust  and genocide terms considered in part (A) and reported as Total results and results actually mentioning the specific  term searched for (denoted Specific Term), [also added in square brackets  are the results from a Google Search of the phrase, just to indicate that the World outside Australia recognizes the term]:

The above atrocities, in which Australia has been variously complicit  as a UK lackey and thence a US lackey,  are appalling but there are even worse atrocities threatening Humanity. Thus the 3 key existential threats to Humanity are nuclear weapons (a nuclear winter from a massive  nuclear exchange will wipe  out most of  Humanity and the Biosphere [24]), poverty (that kills about 16 million people annually [1]), and climate change ( if the worsening climate emergency is not addressed  10 billion people may die this century in a near-terminal climate genocide [25]).  Searching the ABC Search beta for related key terms yields the following results:
“nuclear weapons ban” (US lackey Australia is  opposed to such a ban):  91 (Total), 8 (Specific Term) [Google Search: 122,000].
“avoidable deaths from deprivation” (presently 16 million such deaths annually): 0 (Total), 0 (Specific Term) [Google Search: 1,210].
“climate emergency” (plus 1.5C is inevitable within a decade, and a catastrophic plus 2C is effectively unavoidable):  354 (Total), 2 (Specific Term) [Google Search: 395,000].
“climate genocide” (an average 100 million deaths annually this century in the absence  of requisite action): 18 (Total), 0 (Specific Term) [Google Search: 48,700].

“carbon debt” (Australia’s inescapable carbon debt is US$7.5 trillion that is increasing at US$400 billion per year and at US$40,000 per head per year for under-30 year old Australians [26]):  0 (Total), 0 (Specific Term) [Google Search: 54,700].

The Establishment-beholden ABC has betrayed Australia and Humanity in relation to “avoidable deaths from deprivation” , burgeoning “carbon debt” and worsening “climate emergency” and climate genocide”.
Supporting Zionism and hence genocidal racism may prove to be  an expensive indulgence for pro-Apartheid Israel Australia.
Former Australian PM Tony Abbott supports moving the Australian embassy to Jerusalem  [27] and the 2018 National Conference of the Liberal Party (the major party in the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition ruling Australia) voted for moving the Australian Embassy to Jerusalem [28]. Interestingly, extreme right-wing Senator Fraser Anning was falsely defamed as an “anti-Semite” for ignorantly,  unwisely and evidently unwittingly  using the phrase “final solution” in a speech  [29] but was lauded by the Zionists for  moving a motion in the Senate to move  the Australian Embassy to Jerusalem (it was lost 50 to 4) [30]. Similarly, President Donald Trump, the world’s number 1 supporter of Apartheid Israel  and whose daughter and son-in-law are Jews, was falsely defamed as an anti-Semite for tweeting an image of Hillary Clinton with a background of dollars and a red star image containing the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” (the red star had the same shape as a Star of David; Trump changed the red star to a red circle) [31].
The recent by-election in the very prosperous Wentworth electorate in Sydney was necessitated by the removal of PM Malcolm Turnbull in Australia’s 4th PM-removing Coup in 8 years [32]. Catholic  Zionist PM Turnbull’s successor as PM, Evangelical Pentacostal Zionist  Scott Morrison (aka Scomo)  disgracefully sought to gain advantage by appealing to the substantial body of Jewish voters in Wentworth by (1) adumbrating a possible shift of the Australian embassy to illegally, war criminally and forcibly “re-unified” Jerusalem,  (2) exchange of defence attaches between Australia and nuclear terrorist Apartheid Israel, (3) opposing Palestinian chairing the G77 group of developing nations, and (4) reviewing Australian support for the Western nuclear treaty with Iran that racist Zionist buffoon Trump has dangerously rejected [32].  In the event the by-election in this supposedly “safe” Liberal seat was won by an excellent and prominent Independent candidate, Dr Kerryn Phelps, a gay rights activist and former president of the influential and respected Australian Medical Association (AMA). Her victory made Australia’s  Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Government a Minority Government, Present polling  indicates  that “2-party preferred support” in Australia’s preferential voting system is 55% for Labor and 45% for the Coalition, a situation that would give  a landslide defeat for the Coalition in the Federal Election in 2019.
Largely Muslim Indonesia’s President  Joko Widodo and largely Muslim Malaysia’s PM Malaysia’s prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad,  have made it clear to Australia that they object strongly to its position on Apartheid Israel and Jerusalem. Indeed an extremely important  Free Trade Agreement between Australia and Indonesia  has been put on hold by the Indonesian Government until the Australia Government makes up its mind. Dr Mahathir Mohamad has warned that Australia’s pro-Apartheid Israel stance may lead to more jihadi terrorism in the region   [33].
There are 300 million Arabs, 1,600 million Muslims and 4,000 million Asians between Australia and Mother England, and Australia will have to decide whether it wants to insult them all by joining Trump America in fervently supporting nuclear terrorist, rabid colonialist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, anti-Asian  democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel over Jerusalem. Right-wing Coalition Senator Eric Abetz declared : “Our foreign policy should not be dictated to by other countries. A country, with respect, like Indonesia, which does recognise Israel. It does not have an embassy there. Up until recently it did not even recognise Israeli passports. So in those circumstances, I think Australia is right to forge its own foreign policy” [34]. However former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull, who  was sent by PM Scott Morrison to a climate change and oceans conference  in Bali, Indonesia, commented thus on the foreshadowed embassy move to Jerusalem: “There is no question, were that move to occur, it would be met with a very negative reaction in Indonesia. This is, after all, the largest Muslim-majority country in the world” [34].
However PM Scott Morrison has rejected the strongly held opinions of our Muslim neighbours Indonesia and Malaysia over the embassy move (that are also consonant with the views of nearly all other countries in the world with the exception of the US, Apartheid Israel and a few US lackey nations) : “Australia will always make our decisions on our foreign policy based on our interests and will do that as a sovereign nation. We will listen to others but Australia will always make decisions about our foreign policy on our terms and in our interests. I have always put our interests first and that is how the decision will be made… But let me stress, Australia decides what our foreign policy is and only Australia” [35]. However this claim is laughable because as a UK lackey or US lackey Australia has invaded 85 countries (with 30 of these invasions associated with genocide [36, 37]),  has participated in all post-1950 US Asian wars (associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence or deprivation [1]),  is   enthusiastically  involved in the US War on Muslims (aka the US War on Terror that has been associated with 32 million Muslim deaths from violence, 5 million, or from deprivation, 28 million, in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9-11 false flag atrocity [38, 39]), opposes a nuclear test ban treaty ( in support of the US position), is intimately associated with US nuclear terrorism through its joint US-Australian base at Pine Gap in Central Australia [24] and with  targeting US drone strikes in 7 Muslim countries (Libya, starving Somalia, starving Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan) [40, 41], permits the US to share bulk raw intelligence on Australians with Apartheid Israel [41, 42], and ignores scores of ways in which US-backed Apartheid Israel and its traitorous Australian agents  subvert and pervert Australians and Australian institutions  [43].
Morrison’s defiant claim that Australia will decide on its own foreign policy is at odds with the disproportionate US, Israeli  and Zionist  influence over Australian public life as reflected in surveys (A) and (B) above of ABC news coverage  that amounts to egregious lying by omission to placate these foreign agents. The reformist Whitlam Labor Government was removed in a US CIA-backed Coup in 1975  after PM Whitlam demanded more transparency over US spying in Australia involving the joint US-Australian base at Pine Gap in Central Australia [44]. Labor PM Kevin Rudd was removed from office in a US-approved, mining corporation-backed and pro-Zionist-led Coup in 2010 – he had offended the Americans by demanding destruction of Afghan opium crops (that kill 0.1 million people globally each year), offended the mining companies by demanding a super-profits mining tax, and had offended the Zionists by objecting to Apartheid Israeli forging of Australian passports and kidnapping  Australians  in international waters [45-47].
The Jewish Zionist Coalition Treasurer  Josh Frydenberg reportedly backs the Australian embassy  move to Jerusalem, and has extremely unhelpfully and offensively slammed Malaysian PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad as allegedly anti-Semitic [48]. Like myself, Josh Frydenberg has a  Jewish Holocaust-impacted Jewish Hungarian heritage and we both appear to be dual Hungarian citizens and Australian citizens (such dual citizenship would make him ineligible  to be an MP under section 44 of the Australian Constitution and cause the downfall of the Morrison Coalition Government) [29, 32] – but that is where the similarity  ends because while Josh Frydenberg is a fervent Zionist, I am compelled  through humanitarian  principles,  my   tragic family history and the post-WW2 injunction “never again to anyone” to resolutely expose and oppose the appalling crimes of genocidally racist Apartheid Israel. Indeed a large body of anti-racist Jewish humanitarians object to the appalling crimes of Apartheid Israel [3, 49-52]. Thus in relation to the adumbrated embassy move to Jerusalem Israel,  Vivienne Porzsolt from Jews Against the Occupation has said: “This is a provocative move which reveals complete disregard for international law and for efforts to achieve justice for Palestinians and a peaceful resolution of the conflict for both Israelis and Palestinians. In the last-minute dash for the imminent Wentworth by-election, it is a blatant appeal to the so-called ‘Jewish vote’. This is an insult to the Jewish community which encompasses a much broader range of views than is reflected in the pronouncements of the Jewish leadership in lockstep with the State of Israel” [53].
About 90,000 Australians registered as Jewish by religion in the 2016 Australian census  but as many as 150,000 Australians (0.6% of the population) are Jewish by origin [54] and overwhelmingly Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern and Central European Jewish descendants from Khazar converts to Judaism) [55]. A major, multi-author  mitochondrial (maternal origin) DNA analysis published in the top scientific journal Nature found that there was a substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi Jewish maternal lineages [56].  Professor Shlomo Sand (historian, Tel Aviv University) in his book “The Invention of the Jewish People”  says that the cultural and ethnic descendants today of the Jews of  Palestine at the time of Jesus are in reality  the sorely oppressed Indigenous Palestinians and that their oppressors, the  Jewish Israeli colonizers, are overwhelmingly the descendants of Yemeni (Southern Arabia), Berber (North Africa and Spain) and Khazar (Eastern Europe, Southern Russia)  converts to  Judaism in the first millennium CE [57]. (Indeed a recent DNA analysis revealed that I am 57% Ashkenazi Jewish and 24% British Celtic,  this being consonant with over 2 centuries  of recorded family history). Jewish Australians have been very successful  in the professions, arts, academia and in business  (e.g.  14.5% of Australia’s richest 200 are Jewish) [58].
Jewish Australians have been laudably prominent in human rights  activism but there is now a sharp divide between Zionist Jews who support the obscene,  race-based colonization of Palestine and anti-racist  Jews who resolutely oppose and expose the appalling crimes of nuclear terrorist, racist Zionist-run, genocidally racist, democracy-by-genocide Apartheid Israel. Unfortunately since WW2 Australia has been a craven US lackey, and since Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons and seizure of all of Palestine in 1967 the US has increasing become a lackey of Apartheid Israel [59].   The Western democracies have become Kleptocracies, Plutocracies, Murdochracies, Lobbyocracies, Corporatocracies and Dollarocracies in which  Big Money purchases people, politicians, parties, policies, public perception of reality, more political  power and hence more private profit. Jews make up 19% of the Forbes 200 World’s richest list [60] and 14.5% of the Australian richest 200 [58]. However silence is complicity and the failure of the richest Jews to condemn the genocidal atrocities of Apartheid Israel leads to the conclusion that they are Zionist Jews or are otherwise passively complicit in Zionism through their silence [58].
While numerous anti-racist  Jewish intellectuals are resolutely  critical  of the  ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Western Mainstream media variously  censor  or white-wash  the nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, and grossly human rights-abusing conduct of Apartheid Israel.  A part  explanation for this huge moral discrepancy is that the American 60% of the world’s 30 biggest media companies have a disproportionately high  Jewish Board membership. Jews and females represent 2% and 51%, respectively, of the US population but average 33% and 19%, respectively, of Board members of the top 18 US media companies [61]. In Australia about 70% of city daily newspaper readership has been secured by the fervently pro-Zionist US Murdoch media empire. The result has been a malignant subversion and perversion of Australians and Australian institutions by a Zionist-dominated America, Apartheid Israel and Zionist Australian agents of Apartheid Israel [43, 58, 62].
The US- , Apartheid Israel- and Zionist-beholden Australian Government and Australian  ABC (the taxpayer funded Australian equivalent of the UK BBC) have repeatedly trashed  Australia’s international reputation and betrayed Australian economic interests and international relations in the interests of  Zionist-dominated America and Apartheid Israel. Rather than embrace its 4 billion Asian neighbours and respect their objections to colonialism, Apartheid and genocide,  Australia chooses to insult them by backing the overwhelmingly genocidally  racist Jewish Israelis who are a minority among subjects of Apartheid Israel (48% Jewish, 52% non-Jewish and 49% Indigenous Palestinians of whom 74% are excluded from voting for the government  ruling them in ongoing egregious and deadly Apartheid) [63]. Of the numerous horrendous crimes of Apartheid Israel, the most fundamental is apartheid itself because it entrenches deadly inequality – the per capita GDP is $40,000 for Israelis as compared to a deadly $3,000 for Occupied Palestinians  [64] of whom (in addition to 500 violently killed each year) over 4,000 are passively murdered through  deprivation each year [1-3 ]   in an ongoing Palestinian Genocide  in which 2.3 million Palestinians have died from violence, 0.1 million, or imposed deprivation, 2.2 million, since the genocidal British invasion of Palestine in WW1 [1-5, 65-67].
Instead of sensibly ending the uncertainty about the adumbrated move of the Australian embassy to Jerusalem by immediately scrapping the idea, Pentecostal Christian Zionist Australian PM Scott Morrison has insultingly chosen to say that he will make up his mind sometime in the next 7 weeks before Christmas. This has put an extremely important Australia-Indonesian Free Trade Agreement on hold and trashes Australia’s international reputation. The Australian Coalition Government is thus pandering to Trump America, Apartheid Israel, Australian Christian Zionists, the Australian extreme Right,  and a tiny but powerful Australian  Jewish Zionist Lobby  instead of offering respect to 300 million Arabs, 1,600 million Muslims and 4,000 million Asians between White Australia and Mother England. This white, colonial era racism is underscored by Coalition Senators  recently voting for a motion put up by the ignorant,  racist and bigoted One Nation Party that condemned the  “deplorable rise of anti-white racism and attacks on Western civilisation” and declared that “it is OK to be white” (the motion was narrowly defeated 31 to 28 with Labor voting against the motion) [68].
What the primitive, US lackey, pro-Zionist, pro-Apartheid, pro-war, anti-Asian, climate criminal   Coalition doesn’t seem to realize is that Australia has moved on from a racist White Australia. Australia now loudly boasts of its success as a multicultural society but this national narcissism nevertheless hides huge deficiencies. The 2018 “Leading for Change” analysis shows that while Whites and non-Whites are now 76% and 24%, respectively, of the population, they represent 94.9% and 5.1%, respectively of the senior leadership  of  Australian organizations and institutions. Australia is currently being rocked by huge scandals in the 4 Big Banks in which Whites and non-Whites average 89.7% and 10.3%, respectively, of Board members. Lack of cultural diversity evidently facilitates  corporate malfeasance [69, 70]. Indeed, after the recent  scandal involving the sacking of the Chinese Australian CEO of the ABC, the ABC Board ended up  100% White and 0% non-White [71].
Final comments.
Australia now ranks second after Trump America as a supporter of Apartheid Israel and hence of nuclear terrorism, state terrorism, racism, anti-Arab anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, apartheid, war  and ethnic cleansing. What can decent anti-racist folk do about this ongoing offence to humane values? Many of the 300 million Arabs, 1,600 million Muslims and 4,000 million Asians between Australia and Mother England will no doubt vote with their wallets. Would informed Asians buy goods and services from anti-Asian racists? Fortunately for Australia, the Morrison Coalition  Government is extremely unpopular, with the latest poll indicating a catastrophic Coalition defeat in the 2019 elections. Decent Australians will utterly reject the US lackey, Zionist-subverted, Australia-trashing  Coalition, vote 1 Green and put the Coalition last. Decent Australians will also demand a higher standard of truth-telling from the ABC and an end to its egregious fake news through lying by omission.
