The racist, mendacious, US-beholden and Zionist-perverted Western Mainstream media (MSM) hide the horrific post-9/11 US-imposed Muslim Holocaust and Muslim Genocide associated with over 30 million Muslim deaths from violence and deprivation since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 Americans. I have addressed MSM malreportage over the illegal US-Israeli invasion of Iran in 7 detailed Letters sent to 3 dozen media (mostly Australian MSM). The Silence has been Deafening.
Of these 7 carefully researched and edited Letters 5 have not been published and it is extremely unlikely that the last 2 will be published. Due to wonderful, progressive and humane editors I have published about one thousand typically huge humanitarian articles overseas but very little of my prolific writing is published in a substantially racist, mendacious, US-beholden and Zionist-perverted Australia [1-6]. A key indicator of this failure of truth-telling and effective free speech in Zionist-perverted Australia is given by the conduct of Australian Federal MPs. Of 227 Federal MPs only about 20 – some 15 Greens and about 5 like-minded Independents – have condemned and demanded concrete action against Apartheid Israel’s Gaza Genocide.
The lying and censorship in Australia has reached a new low on Thursday 5 March 2026 when the Queensland State Parliament passed a law making it a criminal offence punishable by 2 years in prison to utter the phrases “from the river to the sea” and “globalize the intifada” , slogans routinely chanted at pro-Palestinian human rights rallies (I can attest to this having attended most of the weekly Sunday Gaza rallies in Melbourne) [7]. The Australian ABC (the Australian equivalent of the UK BBC): “The phrases “from the river to the sea” and “globalise the intifada” have been outlawed in Queensland when used to menace or offend someone, under legislation passed in state parliament on Thursday [5 March 2026]. Under the changes, it will be considered an offence to use the expressions in a way that makes a member of the public feel menaced, harassed or offended. The new laws include both written and spoken use of phrases, such as chants or placards at a protest, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The banned phrases had been deemed antisemitic by the state government” [7]. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means “all human rights for all between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea”, something fervently opposed by the child-killing, genocidal racists running Zionazi Apartheid. Similarly, “globalize the intifada” means “peacefully support revolution against colonial subjugation of Indigenous people around the world”, noting (a) that “intifada in Arabic means “shaking off” and (b) that child-killing, war criminal Trump on the way to bombing 93 million Iranians back to the Stone Age is now demanding that he appoint the next ruler of Iran (perhaps his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a Jewish Zionist who is presently illegally involved in the illegal US-Israeli ruling of demolished and murderously depopulated Gaza [8]).
I am a prolific writer on human rights (a thousand huge articles and 9 huge books) but over the last 2 decades I have been rendered largely “invisible” to Mainstream Australia by remorseless censorship. I can only speculate on the perpetrators e.g. the Zionists (who have been falsely defaming me and like-minded people for decades), Australian Intelligence (who may have revived a new and secret version of their former draconian media-censoring “D-notice system), or powerful people (notably media bosses and their pliant gate-keepers) (see “My Experience: Racism, Lying & Censorship Entrenched In Genocide-complicit & Zionist-perverted Australia, US, UK & West” [9]. ).
As a part of a 3-decade, Quixotic attempt to make a hole in the Mainstream media Wall of Silence, since the Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October 2023 I have been resolutely writing carefully researched Letters of fewer than 200 words to Australian Mainstream media, and recording their overwhelming rejection on the website “Australian Mainstream media lying & censorship”, this representing a documentary record of what Australian Mainstream media don’t what their readers to see, hear about or think about” [1].
On 28 February 2026 while Iranian delegates were negotiating peaceful accommodation with American officials, Trump and Apartheid Israel launched a massive, unprovoked and International Law-violating bombing campaign on Iran. Set out below are 7 successive Letters re Iran sent to 3 dozen media (mainly Australian MSM). Each Letter is prefaced by a short summary, the date and the e-mail Subject heading. The astonishing and horrifying contents are typically important, quantitative and authoritatively-sourced assessments (I am a scientist) but are kept from Western and Australian readers by remorseless lying and censorship by Zionist-perverted Mainstream media.
Letter #1 Summary: The US and Apartheid Israel bombing of Iran grossly violates the key Article 2 of the UN Charter (that prohibits attacking another country) but is fervently backed by US lackey and racist Zionist-perverted Australia that is also complicit in the US-Israel Gaza Genocide (875,000 killed in 2 years including 325,000 children, 207,000 women and 342,000 men).
2 March 2026. Racism, war, genocide and child-killing are simply wrong. “Article 2 of the UN Charter is International Law observed by all decent countries: “3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. 4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations”. War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate in racism. Australia backs the illegal US-Israeli bombing of Iran, is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways, and targets the US-Israeli bombs in both atrocities via Pine Gap (as reported by the decent, anti-war, anti-racism and International Law-supporting Greens). Pro-Apartheid Israel and thus unforgivably pro-Apartheid Labor and the Coalition make Australia complicit in the Iran War and the Gaza Genocide: from data and methodology in The Lancet, in 2 years 875,000 Gazan “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase), including 325,000 children, 207,000 women and 342,000 men. Racism, war, genocide and child-killing are simply wrong. Decent Australians simply cannot support the warmongering Liberal-Labor (Lib-Lab) duopoly.”
Letter #2 Summary: Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons, Iran has none but the US has 5,277 and Israel 90 nukes, 875,000 deaths in the Australia-complicit US-Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide, and rejection of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) makes Australia a prime nuclear target.
3 March 2026 (i). US and Israel criminally violate Article 2 of the UN Charter. “Some huge but largely-ignored truths: (1). Reuters: “Khamenei denied any intent to develop nuclear weapons and went so far as to issue an Islamic ruling, or fatwa, in the mid-1990s on “production and usage” of nuclear weapons, saying: “It is against our Islamic thoughts.””. (2). Melbourne-founded and Nobel Prize-winning ICAN informs that Iran has zero (0) nuclear weapons whereas the US has 5,277, Israel 90, and their active backers in the Iran War, the UK and France, have 225 and 290, respectively. (3). In his first Administration Trump told over 30,000 lies (The Washington Post) and Netanyahu is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes. (4). Based on data and methodology published in The Lancet, in 2 years of the Gaza Holocaust Gazan “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase) totalled 875,000, including 325,000 children, 207,000 women, and 342,000 men, but Mainstream media report “75,000”. (5). Labor and the Coalition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways, lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways, and by opposing the TPNW have made Australia a prime nuclear target. (6). US and Israel criminally violate Article 2 of the UN Charter. Silence is complicity.”
Letter #3 Summary: War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate, but the US, Apartheid Israel and the US lackey Australian Labor Government and Coalition Opposition reject Article 2 of the UN Charter that bans invading another country.Accordingly Australian voters should reject Labor and the Coalition.
3 March 2026 (ii). Labor and Coalition rejection of Article 2 betrays Australia. “The UN Charter came into force on 24 October 1945 about 6 months after the defeat of Nazi Germany that had exercised evil “might is right” by invading and devastating 17 European countries. Article 2 of the UN Charter crucially states: “3. All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. 4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.” Article 2 has been grossly violated by the unprovoked and illegal US-Israeli bombing of Iran that is shamefully and unforgivably backed by both the Liberal-National Coalition Opposition and the Australian Labor Government. Much-touted “Australian values” include observance of the “rule of law” including both national and international laws of which Article 2 is the most important: war is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate in racism. Labor and Coalition rejection of Article 2 betrays Australia and Humanity. Decent, law-abiding and anti-racist Australian voters will put Labor and the Coalition last.”
Letter #4 summary: Nazi Germany invaded 17 countries with genocidal killing of over 30 million mainly Jews and Slavs. Post-WW2 the US invaded 52 countries with genocidal killing by violence, deprivation and sanctions of 40 million Asians and over 30 million Muslims post-9/11. US Alliance-backed Apartheid Israel has attacked 18 countries with 875,000 Gazans killed by violence and deprivation in 2 years.
4 March 2026. Nazism is as Nazism does. Silence is complicity. “It’s timely to compare Nazi Germany, America and Apartheid Israel re (a) war (number of countries invaded) and (b) genocide (deaths from violence and deprivation): (1) Nazi Germany (a) invaded 17 countries and was responsible for (b) genocide of Poles (6 million), Jews (5-6 million), Soviet citizens (23 million), and Sinti and Roma (1 million). (2) The US has (a) invaded 72 countries (52 since WW2), has committed 469 invasions from 1798 onwards, committed 251 invasions since 1991, invaded or otherwise had a military presence in all but 3 countries, and has 800 military bases in over 70 countries). The US was responsible for (b) genocide of American Indians (5 million), Iraqi Genocide (5 million), Afghan Genocide (7 million), Somali Genocide (2 million), Syrian Genocide (1 million), Iranian Genocide (3 million), post-WW2 Asian Holocaust (40 million) and the post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust (32 million). (3) Apartheid Israel (a) has invaded 18 countries (4 countries’ territory still occupied) and is responsible for (b) the ongoing Gaza Genocide (875,000 deaths in 2 years), the century-long Palestinian Genocide (3 million) and genocide-complicity in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, and Sudan. Terrorism is as terrorism does. Nazism is as Nazism does. Silence is complicity.”
Letter #5 Summary: Mass murder by war criminal Iran War perpetrators Trump (57,000 US heroin-related deaths in 2017-2021, over 30 million deaths in the post-9/11 Muslim Holocaust, Trump’s USAID abolition means 14 million deaths globally by 2030, huge preventable deaths of Americans) and ICC-sought war criminal Netanyahu (875,000 Gaza deaths in 2 years).
5 March 2026. Australia-backed Trump’s deadly crimes summarized. “Australia-backed Trump’s deadly crimes summarized: (1). US heroin-related deaths peaked under the first Trump Administration (2017- 2021), totalled about 57,000, and coincided with the peak period of US-protected Afghan opium production before the US withdrew in 2021 and the Taliban re-imposed a ban in April 2022 on the cultivation, transportation, trade, and selling of all drugs (UN Office on Drugs and Crime). (2). About 1.5 million Americans die preventably each year from “lifestyle choice” and ”political choice” reasons, this exacerbated by Trump-imposed poverty, ignorance and lack of medical insurance. (3). 14 million people will die globally by 2030 from racist Trump’s abolition of USAID (The Lancet). (4). Trump provided weapons, bombs, bullets, UN Security Council vetoes, intelligence, military cooperation and over $16 billion in military funding for Apartheid Israel’s Gaza Genocide: in 2 years 875,000 Gaza dead from violence and deprivation including 325,000 children, 207,000 women and 342,000 men (The Lancet). (5). The world is acutely and existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change (Stephen Hawking) but anti-science liar Trump will resume nuclear testing and regards climate change as a “hoax”. (6) Unprovoked and UN Charter-violating bombing and devastation of 93 million Iranians. Silence is complicity.”
Letter #6. Summary: Western Mainstream media coverage of the US Alliance-backed and illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran largely ignores some huge realities re Iran e.g. 1908 discovery of oil, 1953 CIA coup for oil,1979-2006 deadly US sanctions after removal of the Shah dictatorship, 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War, 2000 -2022 US-protected but Taliban banned Afghan opiate production..
6 March 2026 (i). US Alliance-backed and illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran. “Western Mainstream media coverage of the US Alliance-backed and illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran largely ignores some huge realities. (1). 1908: oil was discovered by Westerners in Iran. (2). 1953: the democratically-elected Mossadegh Iranian government was overthrown in a US- and UK-engineered coup for Western oil interests. (3). 1979-2006: after the fall of the US-backed Shah dictatorship, Iran suffered US and US Alliance sanctions that were associated with an estimated 3 million Iranian deaths from imposed deprivation. (4) 1980-1988: US-backed Iran-Iraq War that involved US-backed Iraqi use of chemical weapons and killed up to 600,000 Iranians. (5). 2001-2021, Iran led the world in interdiction of opiates from US Alliance-occupied Afghanistan (the Taliban had banned Afghanistan’s world-leading opium production in 2000, but it was immediately restored by the US only to be banned again after the Americans left in 2021). Australian PM Rudd courageously suggested destruction of Afghan poppy crops. 2 doctors and a paramedic I knew died from overdose due to opiate access. There was war gas research in Australia. I had to decline an invitation to Teheran but in replying linked my huge painting “Isfahan Matisse” for Iran-West amity. Silence is complicity, non-violence the only way.

Letter #7. Summary: Top US General Wesley Clark was apprised in November 2001 of a Pentagon plan to devastate “a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.” All 7 have now been devastated plus Gaza (875,000 deaths from violence and deprivation in 2 years) and Afghanistan (7 million such deaths).
6 March 2026 (ii). All 7 countries have been devastated by the US. “General Wesley Clark (former US Commander of NATO and Iraq War opponent) in his “Winning Modern Wars” (2003): “As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.” All 7 countries have been devastated with various US and Israeli involvements (subversion, weapons, invasion) as follows (dates and deaths from violence and deprivation in brackets): Iraq (1990-2014, 5 million), Syria (2012-2025, 1 million), Lebanon (1982 to present, 0.1 million), Libya (2011-2012, 0.2 million), Somalia (1992 onwards, 2 million; the US and Israel have recently carved Somaliland off Somalia), Sudan (1955-2011, 13 million; South Sudan created in 2011; 2023 onwards Sudan Civil War, 0.2 million; Israeli weapons supply), and Iran (1979 to present, 3 million deaths from deprivation; 2026, thousands killed). Plus Gaza (2023 onwards, 875,000 in 2 years) and Afghanistan (2001-2021, 7 million). Silence is complicity.
Final comments and conclusions.
The illegal and surprise attack on Iran by the US and Apartheid Israel was utterly unprovoked and grossly violated Article 2 of the UN Charter. Serial war criminal and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel has attacked 18 countries and its powerful Biblical literalist fanatics quote the Bible on a Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates and indeed horrible exhortations from “the Lord” for total genocide of non-Israelites, men, women , children and livestock. Indeed Netanyahu at the beginning of the Gaza Genocide cried “Remember Amalek”, referencing “the Lord” repeatedly demanding total extermination of non-Israelites (for an alphabetic compilation of horrific genocidal assertions from the Bible through to Netanyahu see “Zionist quotes re racism and Palestinian Genocide” [10]). This, of course, must be utterly rejected as a kind of psychopathic Nazi (or more precisely Zionazi) Master Race obsession. Decent human beings believe in “all human rights for all” , “love thy neighbour as thyself” and Kindness and Truth as the core ethos of Humanity. Kindness and Truth are grossly violated by genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious and endlessly thieving Zionazis. I often wear a T-shirt saying (White on Black) JEWS for a FREE PALESTINE and at a shopping centre a tall Arab gentleman came up and shook my hand, saying “The Israelis are not Jews, they are Zionists”.
There are only 3 countries in the world that have not (yet) been trodden by US military boots. The Americans always seemed to need some sort of “excuse” for war like “Remember The Maine”(Spanish-American War” and “Remember The Alamo” (the American-Mexican War) and “9/11”[11, 12]. In the present situation the Americans initially wanted no Iranian nuclear weapons (they don’t have any and don’t want any) and then shifted to “regime change”. However for narcissist Trump the bottom line is a puerile demand, “might is right” and “the ends justify the means” to get what he wants, whether that is Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Gaza or whoever and whatever (e.g. more oil, rare earth minerals, a Third Term, lifetime presidency, presidential veto of Supreme Court decisions…) . Other US presidents and their US-beholden lackeys at least tried to dress things up a bit (as in “secret intelligence says that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction”). The pathological liar and narcissist Trump has created a very scary Orwellian world akin to Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
What can the World do? The World must (a) inform everyone they can (the mendacious, Zionist-perverted Mainstream media, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes certainly won’t) and (b) urge and apply draconian Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against genocidal Apartheid Israel and all people, parties, politicians, collectives, companies and countries supporting Israel (notably the US and its lackeys). Those who support Apartheid Israel are supporting the evil crime of Apartheid and thus are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office.
