I am writing this article as a follow up to the article, 'Racism, capitalism, and Zionism are the worst cancers affecting the world'. Some circles deliberately tried to confuse the word Zionism with Judaism, and, thereby, wrongfully concluded that the article was against the Jews. However, the fact remains that they are not the same. Zionism is a political movement which many people, including some Jews, oppose.

In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that designated Zionism as a form of racism and racial discrimination. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, America became the only superpower of the world and it was able to twist many arms to repeal this resolution. It is a common knowledge that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the UN has become a keep of American Imperialism. However, this was opposed not only by many Arab and Muslim countries, but, also by Cuba, Vietnam and North Korea.

The fact remains that many people in the world continue to believe that Zionism is a system that fosters apartheid and racism. Now, when America is practically finished as the only superpower of the world, the United Nations will most likely reconsider the repeal and probably reinstate the 1975 resolution. Many conferences on racism have still called Zionism as a form of racism.

I am opposed to Zionism because I consider it a form of racism in which some people think that they are superior to others. I am opposed to any philosophy which promotes inequality among the people. I respect all people, regardless of their religion, caste, creed, colour, ethnicity, national origin, socio-economic status, or political orientation. I write articles to expose the most barbaric and heinous crimes committed by the racists and the capitalists and to prevent them from starting the most destructive Third World War. I and my family have first-hand experience of becoming victims of the racist conspiracy. Also, I feel that this is the moral obligation of all the peace and justice-loving people in the world to try to save the world from a destructive Third World War which the American imperialists and the Zionists want to start. I am particularly concerned because India is likely to become the arena for this war.

I have already discussed in the previous article how blankets contaminated with small pox were used to kill the native Americans, how questions are being raised on the theory that AIDS was spread from monkeys to people in Africa and it might have actually been spread by the polio vaccine instead; and I also discussed the theory of the superiority of the white race over the other races by American physician Josiah Clark Nott.

I also stated that the American doctors conducted experiments on prisoners, particularly on the blacks and the Latinos. I am going to substantiate this by discussing some historical examples.

Dr J. Marion Sims is often referred to as the Father of Gynaecology in America. In the 1840s, Dr. Sims performed surgical experiments to develop techniques on enslaved African American women without using anesthesia and without proper medical care. These women regularly died from infections that were a result of these experiments.

The Tuskegee Syphilis experiments were conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama. The US Public Health Service studied the natural progression of untreated syphilis in 600 poor, rural black men who were deliberately deceived and misled by the American government and white physicians into thinking that they were receiving free health care from the US Government.

Dr Albert Kligman, a famous American dermatologist, who developed Retin-A (the popular acne medication), conducted experimentation on black prisoners at the Holmsburg prison (near Philadelphia) between 1954 and 1974, under the direction of major pharmaceutical companies and entities such as the Dow Chemical company, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, DuPont, RJ Reynolds, and the United States Army. The prisoners were exposed to herpes, staphylococcus, tinea pedis (Athlete’s Foot), gonorrhea, malaria and dysentery.

In one of the studies, Dr. Kligman injected dioxin, a highly toxic carcinogenic compound of Agent Orange (which Dow Chemical Company was manufacturing for use in the Vietnam War at that time). The prisoners developed severe lesions which went untreated for seven months. The prisoners also developed many other health problems.

In 1952, over 300 black inmates at the Ohio State Prison were injected with live cancer cells without informing them about the nature of the experiment. Dr. Richard P Strong, as a US Army medical officer, performed a series of studies in 1906 with vibrio cholerae (the bacterium responsible for causing cholera) upon inmates of the Bilibid prison in Manila. The Philippine Islands' experiment on prisoners on the death row resulted in 13 fatalities. His experiments on the Philippine prisoners on the disease Beri Beri in 1912 resulted in the deaths of many prisoners.

Between 1946 and 1948, President Truman allowed white American physicians to conduct medical experiments on at least 1,500 prisoners and mental health patients in Guatemala, including orphans as young as nine years of age. These experiments involved intentionally infecting Guatemalans with Syphilis (and other venereal diseases) without their knowledge or informed consent in order to determine the effectiveness of Penicillin. These experiments resulted in 83 deaths and were sponsored in part by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The racial discrimination in medicine continues even today. Several studies have revealed that minority patients continue to receive inferior treatment as compared to the white patients and the non-white doctors are judged by different standards than their white colleagues. The non-white doctors continue to be the victims of the licensing boards and other state agencies. For example, all of the doctors disciplined by the Washington State Licensing Board in 2011 happen to be minority physicians. The Washington State Department of Social and Health Service (welfare) appears to be selectively going after the minority physicians. Several requests to the Licensing Board and the DSHS in the open letters have not resulted in them providing a racial breakdown of the doctors against whom they have taken adverse actions. It can be concluded that they have much to hide and fear public humiliation.

I absolutely stand by my assertion that the Jews and the Indians are represented in the intellectually stimulating professions in far greater numbers than their population. For example, Indians are less than 1 per cent of the American population, but, more than 20 per cent of the international medical graduate (IMG) physicians in America are Indian. About 30 per cent of the Boeing engineers maybe of Indian origin. I am sure that the same is true of the Jews. I dare anyone to conduct a survey on the racial breakdown of the professionals and the truth will come out.

Jews are not the only Semitic people. Islam and Christianity are also Semitic religions. All of the three have a common origin; that is why they are also called Abrahamic religions. Therefore, to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is factually incorrect. It is not the Arab countries who have occupied Israel; it is Israel who has illegally occupied the territories of the Arab countries. If the Jews have the right to the whole of Sumeria, then by the same token, the native Americans have the right to all of America and Canada.

I am opposed to Zionism because like American imperialism, it is advocating inequality and injustice. I have nothing against the Jews. I am a strong admirer of Dr Albert Einstein and Karl Marx, both of whom happen to be Jews. I strongly advocate people to read Karl Marx’s essay on the Jewish question. There is a 42-page article in the third volume of the selected works of Karl Marx. I feel this is the best work to understand the Jewish question. I am sure Marx cannot be accused of being against the Jews.

As I was writing this article, two significant developments occurred. The American soldiers in Afghanistan were found to be urinating on dead Afghan soldiers. George Lucas, the famous Hollywood director, publicly claimed that major film studios do not support films that have only black actors cast in prominent roles. Both of these incidences prove that racism is growing in America. Therefore, it has become even more important to expose and combat racism if we want to preserve peace and harmony in the world.
