 Re: Stop the War Against Sudan : By David Rolde (Re: Frankly)

While all this was happening in Darfur, in the USA a presidential election campaign was going on. The main issue during the presidential campaign was the US war in Iraq. However both major candidates, Bush and Kerry, supported the war. The issue of Sudan and Darfur became a convenient distraction from ongoing US atrocities in Iraq. The government-controlled US mainstream media began to demonize Sudan more and more, spinning the events in Darfur out of proportion (after all there was almost no media coverage about other equally severe humanitarian disasters in Congo or other parts of Africa and the world) and blaming the Sudanese government for the violence and famine. Pro-Imperialist “human rights” organizations joined in the demonization campaign. Human Rights Watch (HRW), for example, is controlled by billionaire George Soros and has many members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) on its boards. The Iraq portion of HRW’s website, for instance, focuses mostly on the trial and crimes of Saddam Hussein and doesn’t condemn the US war against Iraq. Candidates Kerry and Bush took turns trying to out-hawk each other on Sudan. The rhetoric quickly rose to the point of accusing the Sudanese government of “genocide”. No one else in the world, not the UN, not Medecins Sans Frontiers, not the government of any other country besides the USA, agreed on labeling the Sudanese government as genocidists. Many liberals in the USA supported Kerry for president in the mistaken hope or belief that he was a real alternative to Bush. Many of these Kerry supporters believed the propaganda coming from the Kerry campaign and the mainstream media and the human rights groups and from Kerry-support groups like Move On (which is also funded by Soros). The demonization of Sudan served the propaganda interests of pro-war-on-Iraq and Zionist forces in the USA not just by providing a distraction but also by further demonizing Arabs in general so that there would be less sympathy for the Iraqis and Palestinians, and, because the media generally mischaracterized the conflict in Darfur as being White Arabs massacring Black Africans, potentially even convincing African-Americans, who were generally anti-war, to hate Arabs and start supporting the Israeli apartheid state and the war against Iraq.
