It\u2019s not against Jews this time; it\u2019s against, especially, Houthis<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. and its allies \u2014 in this case mainly the Saud family who own Saudi Arabia \u2014 are systematically blocking food from reaching tens of millions of people, Houthis, who live in Yemen and are surrounded by the U.S. alliance\u2019s engines of death. The U.S. alliance\u2019s goal is to slaughter them all. The Sauds want the land \u2014 not the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.N. has been brought into this scheme of mass-slaughter. The responsible U.N. Agency is the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)<\/span><\/a>. Its leadership is mainly Mark Lowcock, who keeps silent about the genocide, except for rare occasions in which he says that if something is not done, then more tragedy will somehow happen in Yemen \u2014 in other words, platitudes, in the face of what might turn out to be the biggest genocide since World War II. (And most of Hitler\u2019s slaughtering killed even more non-Jews than Jews, because the vast majority of people everywhere didn\u2019t want to be ruled by him and resisted his rule. The U.S. aristocracy and its allies haven\u2019t yet matched what Germany did in that time, but they\u2019ll surpass it if they attack Russia as Hitler did \u2014 which could happen.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Lowcock’s official web-page<\/span><\/a> says about him that \u201cMr. Mark Lowcock of the United Kingdom \u2026 led the United Kingdom\u2019s humanitarian response to conflicts in Iraq, Libya and Syria, and to natural disasters in Nepal and the Philippines\u201d or that he was a functionary of the British aristocracy during its invasion of Iraq along with the aristocracy of the United States \u2014 the billionaires and their international corporations and the \u2018non-profits\u2019 which are actually these aristocrats\u2019 main propaganda-mills and yet are tax-exempt. With Lowcock\u2019s \u201cdesignation as a Qualified Accountant, Mr. Lowcock brings a personal and analytical approach to humanitarian challenges.\u201d He doesn\u2019t count the corpses; he counts the money. That\u2019s \u201cHumanitarian,\u201d in this New Nazism.<\/span><\/p>\n

OCHA\u2019s \u201cAdvocacy\u201d<\/span><\/a> banner says:<\/span><\/p>\n

OCHA\u2019s public and private advocacy raises awareness of forgotten crises, promotes respect for international humanitarian law (IHL), brings the voices of crisis-affected people to the forefront, and helps people obtain access to humanitarian assistance.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

OCHA\u2019s \u201cMid-Year 2018\u201d report on \u201cPeople in need: now and this time last year\u201d<\/span><\/a> shows, for 2018, in Yemen, \u201c22.2 M\u201d as \u201cPeople In Need\u201d and \u201c13.1 M\u201d as \u201cPeople to Receive Aid.\u201d That\u2019s by far the worst shown for any country in the world. The second-worst is a tie between Syria and \u201cDRC\u201d or Democratic Republic of Congo, both at \u201c13.1 M\u201d \u201cPeople In Need,\u201d and around 11 million as \u201cPeople to Receive Aid.\u201d Of course, the invasion\/occupation of Syria is likewise mainly a U.S. and Saud operation<\/span><\/a>, and there are already millions of refugees from that \u2014 many of them now in Europe and sparking the rise there of far-right parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

OCHA’s \u201cCurrent Emergencies\u201d report<\/span><\/a> highlights two \u201cEmergencies,\u201d Syria and Yemen \u2014 in both of which the main perpetrators just happen to be the Sauds and the Americans. The latest \u201cYemen\u201d report<\/span><\/a> shows that the biggest donors to the Yemen fund are U.S. and Germany, each at around three million dollars. The U.S. Government has a much better PR operation than the Nazi German Government did, but that doesn\u2019t reduce the U.S. Government\u2019s guilt. (Of course, the U.S. Government is above the law, anyway, and has nothing but contempt for international law<\/span><\/a>, just like Hitler did.)<\/span><\/p>\n

OCHA\u2019s “Yemen Humanitarian Update Covering 27 August \u2013 6 September 2018 | Issue 26\u201d<\/span><\/a> reports as the key issue \u201cDEPRECIATION OF THE YEMENI RIAL\u201d and reports that \u201cthe result of the depreciation is likely to be that an additional 3.5 million people will become food insecure, adding to the existing caseload of 8.4 million people who need emergency food assistance, and over 2 million people are likely to be at heightened risk of famine.\u201d Supposedly, the problem is produce3d by that \u201cdepreciation\u201d and not by the Saud-U.S. campaign to starve to death as many millions of Houthis as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

It says that:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Some shops and businesses have remained closed in affected areas. As of 6 September, protests continue to restrict the movement of vehicles. Who<\/i> [WHO, the World Health Organization] delivered a shipment of 50,000 rapid diagnostic tests for cholera and 21 trauma kits to respond to mass causalities to Aden from Djibouti on 4 September. Following the shelling that hit a truck contracted by a humanitarian organisation in Al Tuhaytah on 29 August 2018, convoys to Khawkhah from Aden have been temporarily halted. Stocks previously dispatched remain at the three delivery points in Khawkhah as distribution has been suspended by the NGO partner on the ground. On 2 September, trucks mobilised by the Logistics Cluster to collect supplies from Aden and deliver them to Al Khawkhah were unable to reach Khawkhah warehouses delaying the movement of resupplies to the western coast.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a watered-down description of the reality. <\/span><\/p>\n

As the Iranian site, kayhan.ir\/en<\/span><\/a> had headlined on May 25th, “UN Urges Imports Into Yemen to Avoid Starvation\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and they reported that, \u201cThe United Nations aid chief has called on the Saudi-led coalition to loosen restrictions on imports of food and fuel through commercial ports into the war-wracked country, warning that millions more could face starvation. \u2018I am particularly concerned about the recent decline of commercial food imports through the Red Sea ports. Pressure on the currency and a liquidity crisis in the Yemeni banking system make imports less viable for traders,\u2019 Mark Lowcock, UN emergency relief coordinator, said in a statement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all cover-up of the reality. Yemen\u2019s currency isn\u2019t the problem here; the invaders of Yemen are.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 11 September 2018, Yemen Press bannered “THE TERRIBLE HUMAN COST OF THE WAR ON YEMEN\u201d<\/span><\/a> and reported the anodyne statements from U.N. officials, and, then stated:<\/span><\/p>\n

Yemeni Human Rights Minister Alia al-Shaabi strongly condemned the brutal assault of <\/i>[meaning \u201cby\u201d] Riyadh <\/i>[Saudi Arabia] and its allies on a school children\u2019s bus, stating that the Saudi-led coalition sees Yemeni women and children as strategic targets.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saudi aggressors have made the Yemeni people, children, old men and women as military targets,\u201d she said, adding that \u201cwe welcome the condemnations of<\/i> [meaning \u201cfrom\u201d] international organizations and the United Nations for the crime and call for the formation of an impartial and independent international commission of inquiry\u201d. \u2026<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the US, the UK and France have also been providing weapons and intelligence to Saudi Arabia and the UAE over the course of the unprovoked war.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Government front, \u201cInternational Rescue Committee\u201d is fundraising on this invasion, an invasion that\u2019s so enormously profitable for Lockheed Martin and other U.S. \u2018defense\u2019 contractors. The IRC headlines \u201cMake a donation\u201d<\/span><\/a>, and their appeal says: <\/span><\/p>\n

In war-torn Yemen, nearly 21 million need humanitarian aid, a deadly famine is looming, and cholera remains a threat. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Please make a tax-deductible donation today to support the IRC. We are on the ground saving children and families from malnutrition and life-threatening diseases. We are providing clean water, medicine, nutrition services and other urgent aid to as many people as possible. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Your gift will help us as we work to save lives in Yemen and in countries around the world.<\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

As the investigative historian Eric Thomas Chester had reported in 1995 in his ground-breaking expos\u00e9, Covert Network: Progressives, the International Rescue Committee and the CIA<\/i><\/span><\/a>, the IRC \u201cevolved from a small organization of committed activists to a global operation functioning as one link in the CIA\u2019s covert network.\u201d The CIA is, of course, itself controlled by the same network of billionaires who own controlling shares in firms such as General Dynamics, Boeing, United Technologies, and Lockheed Martin, which make billions off of such invasions. So: donations to that \u2018non-profit\u2019 are actually doing the PR work for catastrophes that America\u2019s aristocracy and its allied aristocracies \u2014 in this case especially the Sauds \u2014 perpetrate. Not only do the taxpayers fund these operations for the aristocracy, but the public are subjected to a constant barrage of PR from them, much of which propaganda is itself tax-deductible and the \u2018charities\u2019 are tax-write-offs for the billionaires who actually control them. The public, in the invading countries, pay the financial tab for not only the \u2018defense\u2019 operations (the foreign invasions), but they pay for the PR that convinces themselves that \u2018their\u2019 government cares about \u2018doing good\u2019 in and to foreign lands \u2014 their given aristocracy\u2019s actual targets against which those weapons are used, not in and to the foreign markets<\/i> (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc.) to which those weapons are sold<\/i>. The publics are just pawns \u2014 except in the lands that constitute the targets, such as Yemen, and Syria, and Libya, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just a way to do business. It\u2019s the New Nazism.<\/span><\/p>\n

An especially insightful reader-comment to my September 14th article, “U.S. Protects Al Qaeda in Syria, Proven\u201d<\/span><\/a> at The Saker, observed:<\/span><\/p>\n

It is instructive that the CIA learned this tactic of manipulating and deploying Islamic fundamentalist terrorists against progressive states from the Nazis who initiated this tactic against the Soviets in World War Two. An unbroken chain of fascist terrorism which tells us the true nature of the western power structure.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

By \u201cthis tactic of manipulating and deploying Islamic fundamentalist terrorists against progressive states from the Nazis who initiated this tactic against the Soviets in World War Two,\u201d I think especially of the CIA\u2019s use of such organizations as the Social Nationalist Party of Ukraine, in the Obama State Department’s coup that in February 2014 replaced the democratically elected Government<\/span><\/a> of Ukraine by Obama’s chosen junta of racist anti-Russian fascists<\/span><\/a>. The pro-Hitler Ukrainian nationalists in World War II were Christian equivalents to today\u2019s jihadists. In this view, Hitler’s Nazis were like today’s Al Qaeda, and extremist conservatives everywhere are the boots-on-the-ground local proxy forces for the American imperial corporate state and its allies. The U.S. uses extremist conservatives of any type. Since WW II, America has been flipped, to being today\u2019s nazi (racist-fascist) empire. The ruling American aristocracy\u2019s overriding objective<\/span><\/a> is to continue the U.S. dollar being the dominant global currency. They are obsessed by money and power, and have contempt for the public everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n
