Armenian Genocide: 1.5 million killed but US, Turkey, Zionists, Apartheid Israel deny in continuing genocide denial

History ignored yields history repeated. Genocide ignored yields genocide repeated. Armenian American celebrity beauty Kim Kardashian understands this despite not having attended college, and passionately publicizes the Armenian Genocide (see (see Kim Kardashian, “Time to recognize the Armenian Genocide”, Celebuzz, 21 April 2011: http://kimkardashian.celebuzz.com/2011/04/21/kim-kardashian-armenian-genocide-protest-recognize/ ). However the US, Turkey, the Zionists, Apartheid Israel and mainstream historians, politicians and media variously ignore, censor or deny this atrocity in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed.
The Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) followed the Namibian Genocide (1904-1907) in which the Germans murdered 0.1 million Namas and Hereros in South West Africa. 1.5 million Armenians perished in the Turkish-imposed Armenian Genocide (1915-1923). However Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide and the US, US Zionists and Apartheid Israel refuse to acknowledge the genocidal nature of the atrocity. British and Australian invasion of Turkey in 1915 contributed to the deadly and catastrophic Turkish xenophobia but British and Australian historians have largely deleted this atrocity from their national histories. While Armenian American celebrity Kim Kardashian has demanded recognition of the 1.5 million-victim Armenian Genocide, arguing that genocide ignored will yield more genocide, even the most progressive of Australia’s major newspapers evidently does not want its readers to read, know or think about this.

The Armenian Genocide.
The Armenian Genocide commenced on 24 April 1915, the day before the Allied invasion Turkey at Gallipoli and 24 April is commemorated as Armenian Genocide Day. The 25 April is commemorated as Anzac Day by Australia and New Zealand after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) that was involved in the invasion that occurred after months of Allied shelling in the Dardanelles. The Turks were being attacked in the West by the British, French, Australian and New Zealand invaders and in the East by the Russians and this greatly exacerbated xenophobia to a deadly and disastrous level. The Armenian Genocide began with the rounding up of Armenian community leaders and thence butchery of the Armenian population with millions being driven into the Syrian desert to die. It is estimated that 1.5 million Armenians died in the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Genocide ).

Armenian Genocide denial by Turkey, the US, racist Zionists and genocidal Apartheid Israel.
Turkey has consistently denied the reality of the Armenian Genocide and indeed has made assertion of an Armenian Genocide a criminal offence. The US, the pro-Zionists, the US B’nai B’rith (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Defamation_League ), the racist Zionists and the race-based, genocidal, Anglo-American racist Zionist colony of Apartheid Israel all refuse to recognize the atrocity as an Armenian Genocide.

Australian Armenian Genocide ignoring and genocide ignoring in general.
Australia was intimately connected with the Armenian Genocide because its invasion of Turkey helped precipitate the genocidal destruction of the first Christian nation in the World. While Australia’s invasion of Turkey at Gallipoli is regarded by historians as a key event in Australia’s history and nation building, the linked Armenian Genocide is scrupulously ignored by Australian historians writing histories of Australia. Indeed Australia has been involved in 24 genocidal atrocities, 10 of them ongoing, but these are utterly ignored by Australian media, academics, politicians and people. Politically correct racist (PC racist) White Australia declares itself to be non-racist but has been involved in - and continues to be involved in - appalling genocidal atrocities, noting that genocide represents the ultimate in racism. Of course Australian mainstream media, academics and historians remorselessly ignore these Australia-complicit 24 genocides , including the Armenian Genocide (see Gideon Polya, “Australian Anzac, Armenian Genocide. Australia’s secret genocide history”, MWC News, 25 April 2011: http://mwcnews.net/focus/analysis/10256-australian-anzac-a-armenian-genocide.html ).
Australian genocide ignoring, and ignoring of the Armenian Genocide in particular, is well illustrated by recent censorship by The Age newspaper, arguably Australia’s most progressive Mainstream medium but pro-Zionist like the rest of the Australian Mainstream media. On 2 November 2011, The Age On-line National Times published an article by lawyer and writer Emma McDonald about the Kardashian celebrities and entitled , “Why do so many of us keep up with the vacuous Kardashians”: http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/why-do-so-many-keep-up-with-the-vacuous-kardashians-20111101-1mt2m.html . Key quotes: “the reality is that millions of people follow the lives of the Kardashians. I take my hat (and fascinator) off to them for successfully and ruthlessly feeding the insatiable appetite of an audience hungry for news and information about a bunch of fabulous nobodies.” Kim Kardashian was visiting Australia in early November 2011 but left very upset after only a few days.
I sent the following 2 carefully researched comments on the article to The Age but both were completely censored, evidently as containing material that the Age does not want its readers to read, know or think about (for details of the article and the censorship see: http://gpolya.newsvine.com/_news/2011/11/01/8584472-australian-writer-slams-armenian-us-celebrities-as-vacuous-kardashians ).
Censored comments #1: “Kim Kardashian is not just a "fabulous nobody" as asserted by the article but a person whose serious commitment to human rights should be urgently emulated by presently genocide-ignoring academics, journalists, politicians and Mainstream "celebrities" around the world, not least in look-the-other-way Australia.
Thus this is Kim Karadashian on the Armenian Genocide: "My family and I are incredibly proud of our heritage. My dad taught me a lot about Armenian culture, and I have a strong connection with my roots. Every year, I honor the memory of the martyrs who were killed during the 1915 Armenian Genocide. Even though so many countries around the world recognize the Genocide, the government of Turkey still denies it. It happened before Rwanda, Darfur, and the Holocaust. Maybe none of those other genocides would have happened if more nations had condemned the Armenian Genocide, when 1.5 million Armenians were massacred."
Kim Kardashian is saying what the Mainstream steadfastly refuses to say. Thus the US refuses to acknowledge the genocidal reality of the Armenian Genocide and is complicit in an ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Iraqi Genocide, Somali Genocide, Afghan Genocide and Climate Genocide (Google these terms describing ongoing genocides recognized by non-racist scholars but essentially unknown to the taxpayer-funded ABC, "Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide" and "Climate Genocide").”
Censored comments #2: “My previously-submitted, carefully researched comments having not been published, I feel morally compelled to re-state their essence in another way.
Kim Kardashian is not a "vacuous Kardashian" or "fabulous nobody" - she has spoken out about the Armenian Genocide (1.5 million murdered, 1915-1923) and the vital, core message (remorselessly ignored by Mainstream media, academics and politicians in the Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies) that ignoring genocide helps lead to new genocides.
Thus the following US Alliance-imposed genocides ignored by the mainstream (war-and occupation-related deaths/ refugees in parentheses): Palestinian Genocide (0.3 million/7 million), Iraqi Genocide (4.6 million/5-6 million), Afghan Genocide (5.6 million/3-4 million), Somali Genocide (2.2 million/2.0 million), Pakistani Pashtun Genocide (0.1 million?/2 million), Libyan Genocide (0.04 million/0.1 million) and the worsening Climate Genocide (about 10 billion people, overwhelmingly non-European, are predicted by top climate scientists to perish this century due to unaddressed man-made global warming).
To discover what Australian and Western mainstream academics , politicians and media (notoriously the taxpayer-funded ABC) resolutely ignore simply Google the above phrases. Holocaust ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant holocaust denial.?”
While non-historian, non-academic, non-college graduate Kim Kardashian has spoken out about the Armenia Genocide, given an estimate of how many people died (1.5 million) and enunciated the core message that genocide ignoring may lead to further genocides, leading Australian historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey (Companion of the Order of Australia and formerly of the University of Melbourne) totally ignored the Armenian Genocide in his books:
“A Short History if the World” (Viking 2000),
“A Very Short History of Australia” (Viking, 2004) and
“The Great Seesaw. A new view of the Western World, 1750-2000” (Macmillan, 1988).
Blainey is not alone as outlined below. With some notable exception, ignoring the Armenian Genocide and indeed ignoring of other Anglo-complicit genocidal atrocities seems de rigeur for English-speaking historians.

British historians ignoring of the Armenian Genocide.
British Imperialism against Turkey and the Ottoman Empire (tricking Turkey into WW1; British invasion of Iraq, 1914; British invasion of the Dardanelles, 1915) evidently exacerbated Turkish xenophobia. The Armenian Genocide occurred after months of Anglo-French shelling of the Dardanelles and specifically commenced the night before the Allied invasion at Gallipoli. Yet the Armenian Genocide is shockingly ignored by historians writing histories of England e.g. it is not mentioned, for example, in:
“A History of Britain” by E.H. Carter and R.A.F. Mears (Clarendon, 1960),
G.M. Trevelyan’s “History of England” (Longmans, 1960),
Colin McEvedy’s “The Century World History Factfinder” (Century 1984), and
Simon Schama’s “A History of Britain” (BBC, 2002).
Andrew Roberts’ 736-page “A History of the English-speaking Peoples” (Harper, 2007) merely allocates the following words: “nationalism is the antithesis of a cosmopolitan empire” [Hugh Trevor-Roper]. Although Armenians, who suffered badly, would take exception to that generalisation being extended to the Ottoman Empire” and
H.G. Wells’ “The Outline of History” (Cassell, revised edition, 1951). merely refers to post-WW1 massacres of Armenians: “He [the Turk] was not only driving back the attacking Greek, but he was, after his age-long traditions, massacring Armenians”. Just imagine a history of Germany that failed to mention the WW2 Holocaust.

Summary.
The Armenian Genocide killed 1.5 million Armenians in 1915-1923 but has been denied as a genocide by Turkey, the US, racist Zionists and genocidal Apartheid Israel. Armenians, notably Armenian American entrepreneur and celebrity Kim Kardashian, urge recognition of the Armenian Genocide, indicating that genocide ignored may lead to genocide repeated. While British, French, New Zealand and Australian invasion of Turkey on 25 April 1915 evidently disastrously exacerbated Turkish xenophobia and helped precipitate the Armenian Genocide, this atrocity has been remarkably excluded from Australian History and World History works by Australian historians and from histories of England and Britain. Genocide ignored yields genocide repeated and genocide ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial or holocaust denial because the latter at least admit the possibility of debate.

Kim Kardashian Publicizes Armenian Genocide But Turkey, US, Zionists, Apartheid Israel, Pro-Zionists, Mainstream media and historians variously ignore, censor or deny.

Kim Kardashian and her sisters are famous as lifestyle entrepreneurs. Kimberly Noel "Kim" Kardashian (born October 21, 1980 ) is an American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, and actress. She is known for the TV reality series that she shares with her family called “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. Her paternal great-grandparents emigrated from Armenia to Los Angeles. “Kardashian” in Armenian means “stonemason”. Kim Kardashian has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, and one brother, Robert. She has stepbrothers Burton Jenner, Brandon Jenner, and reality TV star Brody Jenner, step-sister Casey Jenner, and half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Kardashian ).

Kim Kardashian has spoken thus about the Armenian Genocide (2011): “My family and I are incredibly proud of our heritage.

Some people might wonder why I’m talking about history on my blog. And that’s what I’m trying to show…it’s not history. Until this crime is resolved truthfully and fairly, the Armenian people will live with the pain of what happened to their families and the fear of what might happen again to their homeland. So out of respect for all those innocent people that died, I’m putting a spotlight on it today.

Today, thousands of Armenians will come together in Los Angeles to protest against the denial of the genocide and urge the United States government to recognize the Armenian Genocide. I hope that I can bring some attention to this today.

And, this year, April 24 falls on Easter Sunday. Armenians are the first Christian Nation in the world, and almost everyone will be in church to celebrate Easter. Even on this really happy day, we’re going to be remembering the Genocide.

There’s going to be a National Day of Prayer in churches across America to celebrate Easter and commemorate the Genocide.

My thoughts and prayers are with all my fellow Armenians on this really important day. I stand proud with you always” (see Kim Kardashian, “Time to recognize the Armenian Genocide”, Celebuzz, 21 April 2011: http://kimkardashian.celebuzz.com/2011/04/21/kim-kardashian-armenian-genocide-protest-recognize/ ).

We Must Report Genocide

Why we must report genocide - history ignored yields history repeated. Ignoring genocide increases the likelihood of more genocidal atrocities. Further, genocide ignoring is far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial or holocaust denial because the latter at least admit the possibility of debate.

The Report Genocide website is dedicated to reporting past and ongoing genocides and in particular those that are subject to holocaust ignoring, holocaust denial, genocide ignoring or genocide denial by Mainstream media , academics and politicians in the holocaust complicit, holocaust ignoring , holocaust denying, genocide complicit, genocide ignoring and genocide denying Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies.

This site is inspired by the example of Polish hero Jan Karski who attempted to inform a disbelieving world about the WW2 Jewish Holocaust as it was happening (see: “Jan Karski”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Karski ; “Story of a Secret State: My Report to the World” by Jan Karski - review by Peter Conrad, UK Guardian, 8 May 2011: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/may/08/karski-story-of-secret-state-review ; “Jan Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust”, by E. Thomas Wood and Stanislaw M. Jankowski ( Wiley, 1996): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0471145734/cybraryoftheholoA/ ; “Jan Karski”:
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/karski.html
) .

The genocides reported here range from 19th century and other European colonial atrocities to the worsening Climate Genocide that is set to kill 10 billion people this century due to unaddressed, man-made climate change.

Thus both Dr James Lovelock FRS (Gaia hypothesis) and Professor Kevin Anderson ( Director, Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester, UK) have recently estimated that only about 0.5 billion people will survive this century due to unaddressed, man-made global warming. Noting that the world population is expected to reach 9.5 billion by 2050 (UN Population Division) , these estimates translate to a climate genocide involving deaths of 10 billion people this century, this including roughly twice the present population of particular mainly non-European groups, specifically 6 billion under-5 year old infants, 3 billion Muslims in a terminal Muslim Holocaust, 2 billion Indians, 1.3 billion non-Arab Africans, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis. [1].

Already 16 million people (about 9.5 million of them under-5 year old infants) die avoidably every year due to deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease – and man-made global warming is already clearly worsening this global avoidable mortality holocaust. However 10 billion avoidable deaths due to global warming this century yields an average annual avoidable death rate of 100 million per year. [2].

Collective, national responsibility for this already commenced Climate Holocaust is in direct proportion to per capita national pollution of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases (GHGs). Indeed, fundamental to any international agreement on national rights to pollute our common atmosphere and oceans should be the belief that “all men are created equal”. However reality is otherwise: “annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution” in units of “tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year” (2005-2008 data) is 0.9 (Bangladesh), 0.9 (Pakistan), 2.2 (India), less than 3 (many African and Island countries), 3.2 (the Developing World), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 16 (the Developed World), 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia’s huge Exported CO2 pollution is included). [3, 4].

However there is also a past carbon pollution debt for carbon pollution from the start of the Industrial Revolution 2 centuries ago. European First World countries are responsible for about 73% of historical carbon pollution of the atmosphere from 1751-2006,with India, Japan and China contributing 2.5%, 3.9% and 8.2%, respectively. [5].

A further measure of responsibility into the future comes from proposals to limit GHG pollution put to the recent Copenhagen Climate Conference (COP15) that was successfully sabotaged by 2 of the World’s worst per capita GHG polluters, Australia and the US, acting in collaboration with other major polluters.

The fairest plan at the Copenhagen Climate Conference (COP15) has been the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) proposal for "55% of 1990 levels by 2020 for Developed Countries" which means that Developed Countries’ per capita would go from 16 to 6.5 tonnes CO2-e per person per year while Developing Countries would "in aggregate aim to achieve significant deviations from baselines by 2020” i.e. less than a predicted 3.8 for the Developing World by 2020. [6].

The UN Draft Proposal is for a less just Developed 2020 per capita of 7.1- 8.9 from the present 16 but the US has proposed a 2020 per capita for itself of 12.4 from its current 27. [6].

The most unjust plan at Copenhagen comes from world's worst per capita GHG polluter, Australia, which has made a highly conditional best offer of "75% of 2000 value by 2020" which would mean that Australia's domestic per capita would go from 30 to 17.2 in 2020 and its domestic plus exported per capita would INCREASE 15% from 54 to 62 tonnes CO2-e per person per year in 2020. [4, 6, 7].

Holocaust simply means death of a huge number of people as exampled by the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million people killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation), the WW2 Holocaust in general (30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies killed), the WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death by the British) and the 35 million Chinese killed associated with the Japanese occupation of China in the1930s and 1940s. [2].

However the definition of “genocide” by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention involves Assessment of “intent’ by those responsible: states “In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.” [8].

“Intent” to commit mass murder is only rarely explicitly expressed. Thus British writer, patriot and genocidal racist Charles Dickens expressed a desire to exterminate the Indian people after the so-called Indian Mutiny of 1857:: “I wish I were Commander in Chief over there [India]! I would address that Oriental character which must be powerfully spoken to, in something like the following placard, which should be vigorously translated into all native dialects, “I, The Inimitable, holding this office of mine, and firmly believing that I hold it by the permission of Heaven and not by the appointment of Satan, have the honor to inform you Hindoo gentry that it is my intention, with all possible avoidance of unnecessary cruelty and with all merciful swiftness of execution, to exterminate the Race from the face of the earth, which disfigured the earth with the late abominable atrocities [2,000 British killed in the 1857 Indian War of Independence aka the 1857 Indian Mutiny]”. [9].

In the event, the British killed an estimated 10 million Indians as reprisals for the so-called Indian Mutiny. [10, 11].

“Intent” in genocide can also be established by sustained, remorseless complicity in mass avoidable death – as exampled by Nazi German responsibility for the WW2 Genocide of Slavs, Jews and Gypsies (1939-1945) , Japanese responsibility for the Chinese Genocide of the 1930s and 1940s and British responsibility for the WW2 Bengali Genocide, 1943-1945. [12].

Sustained, remorseless “intent” to kill literally billions of non-Europeans through global warming is apparent in the sustained, remorseless pollution of the a atmosphere by the First World and by First World refusal at the disastrous 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference to emplace legally-binding effective carbon pollution measures in the face of dire warnings from the world scientific community. [13].

Just as violent mass murder, mass paeodocide and genocide invite genocide trials before the International Criminal Court, so does remorseless commitment by the First World to climate holocaust and climate genocide. Indeed a formal complaint has been made to the International Criminal Court over Australian complicity in the ongoing Aboriginal Genocide (9,000 avoidable deaths annually out of an Indigenous Australian population of 0.5 million), Iraqi Genocide (4.4 million violent and non-violent excess deaths, 1990-2009), Afghan Genocide (4.5 million violent and non-violent excess deaths, 2001-2009) and Climate Genocide (10 billion predicted to die this century). [14].

This site represents a valuable resource for decent, civilized humanity – it documents expert, authoritative opinions of decent, anti-racist humanitarians ranging from concerned citizens like Kim Kardashian who demands recognition of the Armenaian Genocide that killed 1.5 million of her people [15] ; honest and humane scholars reported past and continuing holocausts and genocides such as the "forgotten" WW2 Bengali Holocaust (6-7 million killed) [16] and the ongoing but resolutely ignored ongoing Iraqi Genocide (4.6 million war-related deaths) [17], the Afghan Genocide (5.6 million war-related deaths) [18], the Palestinian Genocide (0.3 million excess deaths, 7 million refugees) [19, the Australian Aboriginal Genocide (2 million excess deaths since 1788) [20], the Indian Holocaust (1.8 billion excess deaths, 1757-1947) [21, 22] and the ongoing Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide (0.6 billion excess deaths since 1950) [23] ; and leading climate scientists, climate economists, climate analysts and world figures who predict a massive, knowingly and deliberately caused death toll from a 10 billion victim Climate Genocide from unaddressed, man-made global warming this century [24].


This site also records those historians who have failed to notice these genocidal atrocities. Thus, for example, while non-historian Kim Kardashian has spoken out about the Armenia Genocide, given an estimate of how many people died (1.5 million) and enunciated the core message that genocide ignoring may lead to further genocides, leading Australian historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey (Companion of the Order of Australia and formerly of the University of Melbourne) totally ignored the Armenian Genocide in his books “A Short History if the World” (Viking 2000), “A Very Short History of Australia” (Viking, 2004) and “The Great Seesaw. A new view of the Western World, 1750-2000” (Macmillan, 1988) and indeed all the other genocidal atrocities listed above except for the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) that was part of the WW2 Holocaust in general that killed 30 million Slavs, Jews and Gypsies and the WW2 Bengal Famine (that he actually mentions on p170 of “The Great Seesaw. A new view of the Western World, 1750-2000”) . Of course eminent Australian historian Professor Blainey is not peculiar in these omissions which have been also variously made by an overwhelming majority of historians, writers and journalists in the English-speaking world.

* “”Queen Victoria headed the British Empire from 1837-1901. That period in British-ruled India coincided with horrendous famines that swept away tens of millions, rapacious taxation, destruction of Indian institutions, the British mercantile spread of cholera (with an associated 25 million deaths) and the 1857 Indian Mutiny that was put down with extreme brutality (a recent estimate by Amaresh Misra puts the number of Indians killed in British reprisals at 10 million: http://warofcivilisations.blogspot.com/ ). The “annual mortality rate” in India before 1920 was about 4.8% (US Library of Congress (1998), Country Studies/Area Handbook Series: India; , with this rate falling to about 3.5% at the time of Independence in 1947 and thence to a current figure of about 0.9%. Assuming an average population of about 200 million (Singh & Singh, 1997 ) and an “excess annual mortality rate” of 3.8%, the avoidable mortality of Indians during Queen Victoria’s rule totalled 486 million i.e. about 0.5 billion. The next 46 years of British rule until independence was associated with 425 million excess deaths. The avoidable mortality in British-ruled India under Queen Victoria and her successors totalled about 0.9 billion, over 10 times greater than the death toll in WW2. It is estimated that avoidable deaths under the British (1757-1947) totalled 1.5 billion (or 1.8 billion if the native States are included).”
