A short guide on how to engineer a genocide by starvation and ethnic cleansing:<\/p>\n

1. Choose your moment. Ok, you\u2019ve been ethnically cleansing, occupying, oppressing and killing your neighbours for decades. The international courts have ruled your actions illegal. But none of that will matter the moment your neighbours retaliate by attacking you. Don\u2019t worry. The western media can be relied on to help out here. They will be only too ready to pretend that history began on the day you were attacked.<\/p>\n

2. Declare, in response, your intention to starve your neighbours, treating them as \u201chuman animals\u201d, by blocking all food, water and power. You will be surprised by how many western politicians are ready to support this as your \u201cright to defend yourself\u201d. The media will echo them. Important not to just talk about blocking aid. You must actually do it. There will be no serious pushback for many, many months.<\/p>\n

3. Start relatively slowly. Time is on your side. Let a little bit of aid in. But make sure to relentlessly smear the well functioning, decades-old aid distribution system run by the international community \u2013 one that is transparent, accountable and widely integrated into the community it serves. Say it is infiltrated by \u201cterrorists\u201d.<\/p>\n

4. Use that claim \u2013 evidence isn\u2019t really necessary, the western media never ask for it \u2013 as the pretext to bomb the aid system\u2019s warehouses, distribution centres and community kitchens. Oh, and don\u2019t forget to bomb all the private bakeries, destroy all the farmland, shoot all the animals and kill anyone who tries to use a fishing boat, so that there are no other sources of food. You are now in control of the trickle of aid reaching what is rapidly becoming a severely malnourished population.<\/p>\n

5. Time to move into higher gear. Stop the international community\u2019s aid getting in all together. You will need a humanitarian cover story for this bit. The danger, particularly in an age of social media, is that images of starving babies will make you look very bad. Hold firm. You can get through this. Claim \u2013 again evidence isn\u2019t really necessary, the western media won\u2019t ask for it \u2013 that the \u201cterrorists\u201d are stealing the aid. You will be surprised how willing the media is to talk about babies going \u201chungry\u201d, ignoring the fact that you are starving them to death, or speak of a \u201cfamine\u201d, as though from drought and crop failure, not from your carefully laid plans.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

6. Don\u2019t lose sight of the bigger story. You are blocking aid to \u201ceradicate the terrorists\u201d. After all, what is the worth of a baby, of a child \u2013 all 1 million of them \u2013 in the fight to eliminate a rag-tag army of lightly armed \u201cterrorists\u201d who have never waged their struggle outside of their historic homeland.<\/p>\n

7. Now that the population are entirely at your disposal, you can roll out a \u201chumanitarian\u201d alternative to the existing system you have been vilifying and wrecking. Probably best to have been working on this part of the plan behind the scenes from early on, and to have regularly consulted with the Americans on how to develop it. You may even find they are willing to fund it. They usually are. You can obscure their role by using the term \u201cprivate contractors\u201d.<\/p>\n

8. It\u2019s time for implementation. Obviously, the point is not to really distribute aid. It is all about providing a cover story so that the starvation and ethnic cleansing can continue. Make sure you provide only a tiny amount of aid and make it available only at a few distribution points you have set up with these \u201cprivate contractors\u201d. This has two advantages.<\/p>\n

9. It forces the population to come to the areas you want them in. Like luring mice into a trap. Get them to the very edge of the territory, because from there you will be best positioned at some point to drive them over the border and get rid of them for good.<\/p>\n

10. Your system will lead to chaos, as desperate, starving people fight for food. That\u2019s great for you. It makes them look like a swarming mass of those \u201chuman animals\u201d you were talking about from the start. Don\u2019t they deserve their fate? And it means that young, fit men \u2013 especially those from large, often armed, criminal families \u2013 will end up with most of the food. The stuff they can\u2019t grab at the distribution points, they will ambush later as people try to return home laden with their heavy aid packages. That may seem counter-productive, given that you\u2019re claiming to want to eliminate the \u201cterrorists\u201d. Won’t these fit, young men, as conditions degenerate further, provide a future source of recruits to the \u201cterrorists\u201d. But remember, the real goal here is to starve the population as quickly as possible. The young, the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable are the ones who will die first. The more of them who start dying, the faster the pressure builds on everyone else to flee the territory to save themselves.<\/p>\n

You are nearly there. True, faced with the emaciated bodies of your victims, western politicians will start making harsh pronouncements. But they have already given you a massive head start of 20 months. Be grateful for that. You don\u2019t need much longer. While they dither, you can get on with the job of extermination. Leave it to the history books to judge what really happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
