This centuries biggest genocide which has not been exposed widely, yet all our Governments know about it -is the UN called Genocide of Falun Gong inside China. Here are some more recent articles .

The author of this article seems to have forgotten
to mention Stalin.

As stated in 'The New KGB,' by William R. Corson
and Robert T. Crowley:

"There is no dispute about the enormity of Hitler's
Holocaust. But it is equally important to be made
aware of the accomplishments of Stalin and the
Soviet secret police, which brought death to at least
four times as many Russians, Poles, Jews, Latvians,
Lithuanians, Estonians, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese,
Gypsies, and Romanians as Hitler did in his eleven
years as a leader of the '1,000-year Reich."

Concentration camps -- on both sides of the front---
operated at a high pitch prior to and during the war years.
The USSR policy of mass murder (genocide) preceded that of
Nazi Germany, most notably with the artificial Ukrainian
Famine of 1932-33, the wholesale destruction of the
Russian peasantry, and later of the peasantry and
intelligentsia in the occupied territories as well.

As Joseph Sobran stated in,"The Holocausts (plural)"
The Washington Times,
April 23, 1985:

"Hitler, it is well to remember, was only one of the
practitioners of the century's most ghastly innovations...
and he was not even the worst. Lenin preceded him in numbers:
Stalin and Mao killed far more people...Communism has
proved a far more potent and persistent evil than
Naziism, which was a brief flare-up by comparison...But
this generation, my generation, the generation that was
spared the experience of Hitler, has no right to denounce
'the Holocaust,' as long as we shut our eyes to the
Holocaust in progress..."

While the Nazis, have been pursued all over the world for
their crimes, the other half, the communist criminals, were
allowed to go free. They were in effect, given tacit permission
to continue the operation of their concentration camps,
to expand their draconian systems to include psychiatric
wards, thereby raising torture, suppression, and murder to
a sscience. The fact that the process persisted was vividly
disclosed to the free world by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn,
in his book, 'The Gulag Archipelago.'

“The new Queensland program is part of a worldwide attempt to stop genocides by recognising early warning signs and acting to prevent them. In addition to tracking proximate causes of genocides, scholars and activists can draw on historical cases to identify possible perpetrators and propose timely preventive action.”

The rest of the article is about historical events except the final words
“Especially now that we have the knowledge to identify a cluster of factors that point toward possible genocide, the international community has a responsibility to protect such people.”

So a lot of talk and no solution except the feeble statement “the international community has a responsibility to protect. . . . “

Maybe we could qualify “the international community….”

Perhaps even go so far as to suggest “through the auspice of the United Nations”

To be honest the entire article is a farce. A very black farce.

Genocides occur because the UN and other bodies representing the “International Community”, like most politically motivated and hamstrung organizations, spend more time attending to the betterment of the bureaucrats and the politicians who work for them than existence of any “victims of genocide” who need “preventive action”.

The article makes not one “preventive” proposal or suggestion.

This article would suggest, therefore that “The new Queensland program” is likely to be as effective at reducing the real incidence of genocide as the UN has been at preventing it in the past.

In short, just another bunch of tossers snuggling their snouts deeper into the public purse.

Runner >"And of course abortion is the biggest genocide of all time but their is no voice for the unborn."
I beg to differ Runner! You are always there to have your say against choice for pregnant women, no matter what the current topic.

Oh Col,

'In short, just another bunch of tossers snuggling their snouts deeper into the public purse.'

I so agree!
