Are we gonna allow genocide to happen?
Spoiler alert: This is not about depopulation, jabs, or the WEF
Yes, there has been plenty of talk about alleged pandemic-related genocide (and democide) since March 2020.
Such talk can generate countless posts, shares, and theories.
Meanwhile, in the Republic of Artsakh, a blockade by Azerbaijan is being deemed a huge first step for yet another genocidal assault on Armenians.
It has provoked mostly silence.
On August 18, 2023, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention declared:
“The Artsakh blockade, which has been ongoing since the 12th of December, 2022, is the cause of increasing malnutrition, miscarriages, and medical complications related to people being unable to access proper food and medical care. Now, the blockade has begun to cause the direct death of Armenian citizens of Artsakh through starvation. This blockade is genocidal in its intent, which is to eliminate the Armenian population of Artsakh, either through mass displacement or mass starvation.”
“Armenia became the world’s first Christian state around 300 AD when St. Gregory converted the king at the time to Christianity,” explains Michael Rubin in the Washington Examiner. “A core province of the kingdom was Artsakh, now better known as Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous region home to a millennia-old Armenian Christian community. Almost 1,700 years after Gregory’s death, Artsakh’s Armenian community now faces extinction.”
“There is a reasonable basis to believe that a genocide is being committed,” said Luis Moreno Ocampo, former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, noting that a U.N. convention defines genocide as including “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction.”
What will “free thinkers” and “truth seekers” do when presented with hard evidence for an actual attempted genocide — a crime against humanity that could be stopped if the Home of the Brave™ would step up?
When I used the phrase “yet another genocidal assault of Armenians” above, I’m referring to 1.5 million murders committed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire against its Armenian citizens from 1915 to 1923.
2.5-minute overview:
A far more comprehensive overview (12 minutes):
The Land of the Free™ and its allies refuse to use the word “genocide” to describe what happened to Armenians back then — and now today.
Here’s an excerpt from a 2004 article of mine to detail more about how this worldwide deception has been perpetrated:
In 1982, a conference on genocide was held in Israel with Elie Wiesel scheduled to be honorary chairman, but the situation became complicated when the Armenians wanted in.
Here’s how Noam Chomsky described the incident: “The Israeli government put pressure upon [Wiesel] to drop the Armenian genocide. They allowed the others, but not the Armenian one. He was pressured by the government to withdraw, and being a loyal commissar as he is, he withdrew…because the Israeli government had said they didn’t want Armenian genocide brought up.”
Wiesel went even further, calling up noted Israeli Holocaust historian, Yehuda Bauer, and pleading with him to also boycott the conference.
Why not welcome the Armenians, you wonder? Chalk it up to two conspicuous factors: the need to monopolize the Holocaust image and the geopolitical reality that Turkey (the nation responsible for the Armenian genocide) is a rare and much-needed Muslim ally for Israel.
Anyone who reads this post can no longer claim “I didn’t know.” Now what?
Sure, most of us justifiably do not trust or interact with politicians. But situations like this are precisely when elected officials can make a difference.
If the information in this post filled you with righteous anger, I urge you to reach out to your senators, congresspeople, and the White House to demand an immediate end to the inhumane blockade of Artsakh by Azerbaijan.

UPDATED NOTE: I added this call to action at the request of the friend who helped me compile this post. I can’t believe I even have to explain this but I am not endorsing Biden or presenting letter-writing as a general tool. Translation: This is NOT the point of the post. So, instead of commenting about Biden, I request that you simply share the information.
Thank you.

Yes, thanks Mickey - the Armenians have suffered terribly at the hands of the Turks and Azerbaijanis - when I visited Armenia back in 1990, they explained everything to me and took me to the border or Turkey and Mt. Ararat in the distance, which they said was actually on their native soil. I was there on a citizen diplomacy concert tour and fell in love with the people in Yerevan and other cities I visited. I hadn't even heard about this - thanks!
Thank you, Mickey Z, for sounding the alarm and standing on the right side of history. Your articles are consistently righteous and this post has special meaning as yours truly is of Armenian ancestry. Armenia has always been the battlefield/prize for competing empires (E-W). It's a captive nation under Russia's thumb but without the expected protection. I think some big guns would like to see all of Armenia absorbed (conquered) by Az/Turkey thus wrested away from the Russian orbit but still hope against hope that the Western powers will consider that Christian Armenia is a far more reliable than the surrounding oil/gas/caviar rich dictatorships have been. Yes, Paul, Biden is senile AND sociopathic AND more often the problem than the solution. Even so, I believe American citizens must still use their constitutional rights no matter how misused, mocked and weak these days. None of us should lay down the die. GRATITUDE.
