Orwellian Anglo-American War on Muslim Women and Children

Orwellian Anglo-American War on Muslim Women and Children

Articles and Reports Dr. Gideon Polya

In George Orwell's novel "1984" there was an endless global war against a shifting set of enemies that represented an end in itself but required continual "re-writing" of history. The Orwellian re-writing of history was effected QUALITATIVELY (the actual facts of history were changed, necessitating the continual shredding of books and newspapers) and QUANTITATIVELY (by altering statistics, most famously by Big Brother's assertion that "2 plus 2 does not equal 4").

In the Anglo-American-led "War on Terror" we see the same Orwellian elements. Thus the Americans gave immense support over many years to Saddam Hussein in Iraq and to jihadists in Afghanistan but then changed their allegiances for economic, geo-political and strategic reasons . The killing of Western civilians by jihadists and Arab insurgents was used as an hysterical, populist "excuse" for massive US military invasion of the Middle East and Central Asia.

However in true Orwellian style there has been an extraordinary QUALITATIVE dishonesty in the re-writing by the US-led Coalition of the "publicly perceived history" of Anglo-American involvements in the Middle East and Central Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries.

There has also been an extraordinary QUANTITATIVE perversion by the UK-US Coalition and their pliant media of the horrendous human consequences of the "endless" "War on Terror". 5,000 Western civilians were killed by jihadists and Arab insurgents over the last 20 years and the ostensibly retaliatory consequence, namely the US-led "War on Terror", has so far been associated with 1.9 million avoidable deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories - but these enormously discrepant quantitative realities are resolutely ignored by Anglo-American mainstream media.

Credentials: Dr Gideon Polya published some 130 works in a 4 decade scientific career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, New York & London, 2003), and is currently writing a book on global mortality - numerous articles on this matter can be found by a simple Google search for "Gideon Polya" and on his website: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gpolya/links.html
