| WASHINGTON D.C. - Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the U.S. signing of the United Nations Genocide Convention, the United States Senate has approved their list of ‘Genocides to be Remembered’.
Supported by 18 senators, the draft list states that people should take lessons from acts of genocide committed against Jewish, Armenian, Kampuchean, and Rwandan peoples. Complementing this list, the U.S. Senate has also approved a draft list of ‘Genocides to be Swept Under the Carpet, Completely Forgotten and Never Mentioned’. Heading this list is the second biggest act of genocide ever to take place – the purposeful slaughter and land confiscation of indigenous peoples of North America. The list of ‘Genocides to be Swept Under the Carpet, Completely Forgotten and Never Mentioned’ also includes the Australian and Tasmanian Aborigines genocide and assimilation policies of successive British wards and Australian governments, the Spanish slaughter of Aztecs and indigenous Latin and South American peoples, and British epidemic introduction and manipulation of… well, every native from New Zealand to Mauritius to Ireland. Australian Prime Minister John Howard was reported to be “over the moon” at the news that Aborigine genocide was to appear on the list of ‘Genocides to be Swept Under the Carpet, Completely Forgotten and Never Mentioned’. “This news is bonzer! This is a slap in the face to all those anti-war poofters who said it wasn't worth going to war with Tony, Georgie-boy, and Jose Maria to gain a free trade agreement. Well, we got all that and more,” said Howard. “Not only can we be rid of all this ‘apologizing to the bloody natives’ nonsense, but being on this list also means we won’t have to listen to the bastards in the future,” Howard added.
