The man paused as if to emphasize the next point. "The same right, the right to live, of course, was not extended to the human beings in Africa. The value of a fly was deemed greater. The human being had suddenly become a beast of lesser value than even a fly. That opened the bottom hell for the unspeakable atrocities in the wars to come. The man said that in the midst of this horror, interwoven with the resurgence of malaria, several drug resistant strains were now coming to the foreground that had made malaria fatal once again on a vast scale, killing people at a rate of one person every forty-five seconds, most of which are children.

      "Yes, we have started a war on children," he said. Se scanned the auditorium. "Yes, we, all of us together are locked into a war against children in which millions are killed by our hands. That's the face of our humanity by us allowing this insanity to happen. We are in a war against our own children, our future."

      He said further that the outlook in terms of other diseases, like sleeping sickness, for instance, was even darker. He reported that close to 40 different mutations had already been identified that came out of the brewing caldron of a biologically weakened and starvation ravished Africa.

     "That's the price for the isolation that we've created and unleashed on Africa from the West," he said. "And so, my friends, it is possible for a people to become so isolated from the world and from one-another that the most horrendous crimes can be perpetrated in hidden worlds created by isolation, on a scale that pales Adolf Hitler's holocaust, while almost nobody blinks an eye in the sight of today's vastly greater tragedies," he added. He said that attempts have been made to downplay Hitler's crimes and suggest that the vast holocaust didn't actually happen, which he said has became a crime itself. He said that a number of once noble countries prosecute people today with long jail sentences for the thought crime of holocaust denial while the vastly greater modern holocaust that is happening daily and hourly is covered over with a thick blanket of official silence, not to mention the complete lack of commitment for corrective actions.

      "That's the real holocaust denial, and the world stands idly by and lets it happen, whereby mankind becomes an accomplice in the holocaust. We don't need jail sentences for this larger crime, for which there wouldn't enough jails to house the guilty anyway. Instead we need healing. We need to heal the denial and the isolation that causes it."

      He paused again, as if to emphasize another point.

      "The irony is," he said, "that it is not really possible for humanity to isolate itself and hide in denial and self-isolation, because it is not possible for mankind to isolate itself from the consequences of its actions and inaction. Self-isolation always results in tragedy. AIDS is a perfect example. The call for depopulation was heard loud and clear in the late 1960s. The headlines proclaimed that the world has cancer and that its cancer is mankind that must be cut out and culled back to small numbers. Out of that came the imperial NSSM200 policy of 1974/5 to force depopulation onto the Third World especially onto Africa, in order to preserve their raw materials for the West's future use. Depopulation typically means starvation, enforced by poverty. AIDS erupted out of this background five years later, while the caldron for brewing new diseases is still being stoked with evermore new fires under it."



      I would have nudged Anton if she had sat beside me. I saw no reaction in her face that revealed any recognition of a linkage existing to her own self-isolation and the danger of it. It was painful to see this non-reaction. It was painful, because her self-isolation was evidently deeply rooted, too deeply to be recognized by her. It appeared to be the kind of case in which the victim is rarely aware of its victimization, just as the whole of mankind failed to recognize it is the real victim in the long run of the trashing of Africa that it is hiding under the blanket of denial.
