John Pilger, New Statesman, Murdoch Lies, Jews Against Racist Zionism & Mainstream Media Wall of Silence

Outstanding, anti-racist, humanitarian John Pilger (UK-based Australian journalist) has published an article “Lies, Damn Lies” in the New Statesman: http://www.newstatesman.com/interna... .

John Pilger’s article is highly critical of the Rupert Murdoch-run Murdoch Media Empire and picks upon shocking instances in which Murdoch Empire Media lies drove children to suicide.

However the biggest crime by far of the Murdoch Empire has been support for Apartheid Israel , UK and US wars.

Unfortunately the closest John Pilger gets in this article to criticizing this Elephant in the Room of Mainstream media crimes is this comment: “The hypocrisy, however, is almost magical. In 1995, Murdoch flew Tony and Cherie Blair first-class to Hayman Island, Australia, where the aspiring war criminal spoke about "the need for a new moral purpose in politics", which included the lifting of government regulations on the media. Murdoch shook his hand warmly. The next day the Sun commented: "Mr Blair has vision, he has purpose and he speaks our language on morality and family life.""

Of course The New Statesman is part of the Murdoch-dominated Mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies and has taken to censoring comments made by its readers in response to articles by its columnists. Below is the comment I submitted about John Pilger’s "Lies, Damn Lies" article - will it pass the New Statesman censor?

Quote: “The crimes of the Murdoch Empire, kingmaker of the Western Murdochracies, go much further than driving teenagers to suicide through lurid journalistic concoctions. Its greatest crime has been support for horrendous wars and occupations coupled with resolute failure to report the human consequences.

Thus the Murdoch Empire will simply NOT report the horrendous cost of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide (post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths 0.3 million, 2.3 million and 3-7 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; refugees totalling 7 million, 5-6 million and 3-4 million, respectively, plus a further 2.5 million NW Pakistan Pashtun refugees; genocides as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention) (for details and documentation see “Pro-Zionist Western Holocaust Denial “: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/298... ).

The Murdoch Empire has been involved in holocaust commission, genocide commission, holocaust ignoring and genocide ignoring, noting that (a) other media have followed it up this unforgivable path and (b) holocaust ignoring is far worse than holocaust denial because the latter at least allows the possibility of debate.

One remarkable exception to this extraordinarily general Murdoch Empire-lead self-censorship over racist war crimes has been anti-racist Jews who have had the courage to speak out cogently against the Palestine Genocide . Thus see Jews Against Racist Zionism (JARZ) (see: http://sites.google.com/site/jewsag... ) which has an extensive, steadily enlarging, alphabetically-listed compilation of key opinions from leading anti-racist Jews and anti-racist Jewish organizations opposed to racist Zionism – expert, humane opinions that are ignored by the ignorant, incompetent, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, anti-Planet, pro-war, pro-coal, pro-Zionist, anti-Indigenous Mainstream media.” End quote.

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. We are obliged to inform others about immense crimes against humanity. We cannot walk by on the other side. Tell everyone you can – we CAN make holes in the racist, genocidal Mainstream media Wall of Silence.
