HOLOCAUST

USA



"As a Native American, every time I see the American flag I feel the same way I imagine Jewish people must feel when looking at the Nazi flag. The American flag is a flag of oppression and genocide. Because that's what America is built on - from the very beginning when the first European settlers landed in North America, it has been a country built on blood."- Rod Coronado, Native American.



IRAQ



The CIA put Saddam into power and manipulated Iraq and Iran into a war. Then came the Desert Storm campaign, depleted uranium, UN sanctions and the latest Iraq war. Over 1 million have died as a result of American interference in Iraq.



9 11



On 9 11, 1973, Salvador Allende, the President of Chile, was killed in an American-sponsored coup, led by General Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet's rise to power, organised by the CIA and Henry Kissinger, began nearly twenty years of military dictatorship that led to thousands of deaths. 30,000 people were massacred in the weeks following this September 11th, as Pinochet tried to wipe out those who opposed fascism.



The Congo was given a military dictatorship thanks to the CIA assassination of Patrice Lumumba.



In Cambodia, America (and Britain) backed Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot who killed nearly 2 million Cambodians.



In 1936, the American National Guard helped Anastasio Somoza to set up a dictatorship which ruled Nicaragua for 43 years.



Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Haiti, Iraq, Iran, Laos, East Timor, Grenada, Greece... All of these and more suffered from torture and death as a result of American 'intervention,'



Ex-State Department employee William Blum stated, "An American holocaust has taken place - So great and deep is the denial of the American holocaust that the deniers are not even aware that the claimers or their claims exist. Yet, a few million people have died in the American holocaust and many more millions have been condemned to lives of misery and torture as a result of US interventions extending from China and Greece in the 1940s to Afghanistan and Iraq in the 1990s."



"I will never apologise for the United States of America - I don't care what the facts are," said President George Bush Sr. in 1988, when the U.S. Navy warship Vincennes shot down an Iranian commercial airliner. The plane was on a routine flight in a commercial corridor in Iranian airspace. All 290 civilians on board the aircraft were killed.



Many thousands of Afghani civilians have died as a result of U.S. led air strikes in Afghanistan.



Since the Second World War, the US government has bombed 21 countries:



China in 1945-46 and again in 1950-53,



Korea in 1950-53,

Nearly 3 million civilians were murdered by the USA and its allies. As with Mai Lai in Vietnam, the murder of civilians at No Gun Ri, Korea, was not an isolated incident. The USA and its fascist puppet regime in South Korea carried out genocide against both North and South Korean people.



Guatemala in 1954, 1960, and 1967-69,



Indonesia in 1958,



Vietnam in 1961-73,

Through the Phoenix Program, hundreds of thousands of people were tortured to death in “interrogation centers”. These torture centers were built by the United States. Women were always raped as part of the torture before being murdered. The large-scale terrorism, rape and mass-murder was the policy of the USA. The My Lai massacre itself was an operation of the Phoenix Program.



Congo in 1964,



Laos in 1964-73,

The United States Air Force dropped the equivalent of a planeload of bombs every eight minutes for nine years on the people of Laos — from 1965 to 1973. Over 2,000,000 tons.

This was some of the heaviest aerial bombardment in world history.

Estimated civilian deaths: 500,000 men, women and children.



Peru in 1965,



Cambodia in 1969-70,



El Salvador throughout the 1980s,



Nicaragua throughout the 1980s,



Lebanon in 1983-84,



Grenada in 1983,



Bosnia in 1985,



Libya in 1986,



Panama in 1989,



Iraq in 1991 and later,



Sudan in 1998,



Former Yugoslavia in 1999,



and Afghanistan in 1998 and 2002.



Up to one million innocent civilians died in Indonesia after the CIA put Suharto into power in Indonesia.



At least one third of the population of East Timor died after the USA gave Suharto permission to invade that country.



If you add up the totals, the United States of America is probably responsible for the biggest holocaust of all time.



"Since before the end of WWII the United States Corporate Mafia Government has been hell bent for total world domination, by any and all means necessary, no matter how brutal — including the slaughter of as many millions of innocent civilian men, women and children as it takes to accomplish that goal." http://free.freespeech.org/americanstateterrorism/bibliographies/Main.html
