Pro-war, pro-Coal Oz PM Rudd ignores Oz-complicit Climate Genocide & slams refugee smugglers as "scum"

HYPOCRISY! Australian PM Rudd, whose gross Greenhouse Gas pollution policies threaten the World with a 10 billion-victim Climate Genocide (2 billion Indians will die from it this century) has called smugglers of Australian- and US-caused refugees "absolute scum of the earth... the vilest form of human life...they should rot in jail... rot in hell".

Pro-war, pro-coal, pro-US Empire, pro-Zionist White Australian leader PM Kevin Rudd shows gross hypocrisy and double standards over Australia-generated Asian refugees and the looming Climate Genocide.

The election of the Rudd Labor Australian Federal Government in November 2007 promised something better in relation to Australia’s disproportionate contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution and the continuing Australian record of participation in all post-1950 US Asian wars associated, so far, with about 25 million Indigenous Asian excess deaths).

However this was not to be - extreme right wing, neo-Bush-ite, pro-Zionist, pro-war, pro-coal Australian PM Rudd continues to defy world scientific opinion by policies increasing Australia’s world leading “annual per capital GHG pollution” and continues to defy International Law and Humanity by continued Australian involvement in the Iraqi Genocide (1,000 Australian troops), the Afghan Genocide(1,000 Australian troops) and the Palestinian Genocide (financial support for the Palestinian Genocide is tax deductible in Australia but giving money to a Hamas-controlled hospital in the Gaza Concentration Camp could be a criminal offence attracting life imprisonment under Australian Anti-terrorism laws: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austra... ).

In the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories the post-invasions non-violent excess deaths total 0.3 million, 1.0 million and 3.2 million, respectively; post-invasion violent excess deaths total 10,000, 1.3 million and up to 4 million, respectively; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively; and refugees total 7 million, 5-6 million and 4 million, respectively - Genocides as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see ”Pro-Zionist Western Genocide Denial”: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/298... ).

For Cartoons about pro-war, pro-coal PM Rudd’s Ignoring of reality and obscene involvement of White Australia in Environmental Vandalism, the Iraqi Genocide, the Afghan Genocide, Aboriginal Genocide and looming Climate Genocide see: “Kevin Rudd cartoons” on Flickr:

Now pro-war, pro-Zionist, pro-US, pro-coal PM Rudd has exceeded himself after an explosion in a refugee boat in the Indian Ocean killed 5 people and seriously hurt scores of refugees. PM Rudd has slammed people smugglers and defended the Government’s efforts to stop them using the following intemperate language: "People smugglers are engaged in the world’s most evil trade and they should all rot in jail because they represent the absolute scum of the earth. People smugglers are the vilest form of human life. They trade on the tragedy of others and that’s why they should rot in jail and in my own view, rot in hell. We see this lowest form of human life at work in what we saw on the high seas yesterday. That’s why this Government maintains its hardline, tough, targeted approach to maintaining border protection for Australia" (see Yahoo News & ABC, 17 April 2009: http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest...).

This is surely the height of hypocrisy on the part of pro-war PM Rudd - a case of the Rudd Pot calling the smuggler Kettle black. The following LETTER sent to Australian media and MPs is self-explanatory.

LETTER

Dear Sir/Madam etc,

Australian PM Rudd, whose gross Greenhouse Gas pollution policies threaten the World with a 10 billion-victim Climate Genocide [2 billion Indians will die] , has stated the following of the “people smugglers” who convey refugees to Australia from US-, UK-, NATO- and Australia-imposed Asian wars: “People smugglers are engaged in the world’s most evil trade and they should all rot in jail because they represent the absolute scum of the earth. People smugglers are the vilest form of human life. They trade on the tragedy of others and that’s why they should rot in jail and in my own view, rot in hell. We see this lowest form of human life at work in what we saw on the high seas yesterday. That’s why this Government maintains its hardline, tough, targeted approach to maintaining border protection for Australia." [1].

Consulting UNICEF and WHO we find that 338,000 under-5 year old Occupied Afghan infants die each year, 90% avoidably (304,200 avoidable under-5 deaths per year or 833 daily) and that the “annual total per capita medical expenditure” permitted by the Occupiers in Occupied Afghanistan is US$29 as compared to US$6,714 for the US – this constituting an egregious violation of the Geneva Convention by the US Alliance. The Rudd Pot is calling the smuggler Kettle black. It is Afghan mothers and infants who need “border protection” - from war criminal, mass paedocidal US Alliance war-makers. [2]

Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne

END LETTER.

This matter of White Australian double standards should be of major concern to everyone on a Planet threatened by a worsening Climate Emergency and looming Climate Genocide – Australia is the World’s biggest coal exporter, one of the worst per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) polluters in the World (currently 53.8 tonnes Domestic plus Exported CO2–e per person per year as compared to the World per capita GHG pollution value of 6.8 in 2000), and under Pro-Coal PM Rudd is set to increase Australia’s World-leading annual per capita GHG pollution (see “Australia’s “5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020” endangers Australia, Humanity and the Biosphere”: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ).

Australia leads the First World GHG polluters who are threatening the Third World with a Climate Genocide that according to top UK climate scientist Professor James Lovelock will kill all but fewer than 1 billion people this century (see: Gaia Vince (2009), “One last chance to save mankind“, New Scientist, 23 January 2009: http://www.newscientist.com/article... and “Climate Disruption, Climate Emergency, Climate Genocide & Penultimate Bengali Holocaust through Sea Level Rise”: http://sites.google.com/site/yarrav... ) – 10 billion people will die from unaddressed man-made global warming this century thanks to the likes of pro-war, pro-coal, Religious Right Rudd (R3).

What can decent people do? Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Decent folk must (a) inform others and (b) apply personal and collective, intra-national and international Sanctions and Boycotts against individuals, institutions, corporations and countries complicit in war, occupation, mass murder, genocide of Indigenous and Occupied Peoples and the looming Climate Genocide.
