Racism sells, it always has.

Below is an article from Sky News on a series of adverts set to appear on billboards in New York's Subway. Words such as those to be used in this advert have been used throughout history to justify the slaughter and enslavement of innocent peoples for hundreds of years. 

Famously this occurred on the continent that is now called North America and saw the deaths of perhaps millions of indigenous people to the Americas. The civilised white man crossed great ocean spans and with it the supposed right to spread the way of 'civilisation' to people considered 'savages'. They did so by first the sword, then the gun and today, through debt slavery thanks to the World Bank and IMF.

Terms such as ‘savages’ have been used in more recent wars such as Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Words such as ‘gook’, ‘rag heads’ and ‘sand nigger’ are all commonly used by people inside and outside of the military to dehumanise and justify modern day holocausts. Where America and the UK have not actively taken part in modern day massacres they have played their part indirectly as part of a global, military industrial complex, which arms dictators, that our government have backed or put in place, who then use their weapons eventually on their own people, just as Saddam Hussein did in the 1980’s, right up until more recently in Bahrain as part of the Arab Spring. 

The military industrial complex is in full boom, war is good for business and it seems that the business currently is focused on suppressing your own people. Adam Thomas of UKTI DSO speaking at the Special Operations Forces Exhibition Conference (SOFEX) to Shane Smith of Vice News recently explained that the security industry is worth $180-190biliion and that their estimates for the next 4 years see this doubling to over $400billion dollars. By security they mean homeland security, border security, anti-immigration, anti-drugs, oil field security etc. This spending is estimated to be 2-3 times more than will be spent of defence tactical spending.

If they are spending it, it means they are using them and that is a terrifying prospect for us all.

By Hannah Thomas-Peter, New York Correspondent

The head of a group that has won its fight to run controversial adverts in New York subway stations referring to some Muslims as "savage" has told Sky News that she will fight "to the death" for the right to offend people.

Pamela Geller runs the American Freedom Defence Initiative (AFDI), which has taken out ads that read: "In any war between the civilised man and the savage, support the civilised man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."

The posters are due to appear in 10 New York City subway stations next week.

They were initially rejected by the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) because of the use of demeaning language.

But in July a Manhattan court judge ruled this was a violation of the first amendment rights of the AFDI and they should be allowed to run.

Ms Geller told Sky News that she was unconcerned the adverts might make the subway network a target for violence.

She said: "Were there similar ads on the London buses and trains on 7/7? You know there weren't.

"I will not abridge my freedoms so as not to offend savages.

"I won't take responsibility for other people being violent.

"I live in America and in America we have the first amendment."

Ms Geller, who is a prominent supporter of Israel, stressed that she was not referring to all Muslims as savages, only those who engaged in what she characterises as "Jihad".

She believes that America is under threat from some Muslims who wish to impose Sharia law on the country, and her group has launched similar campaigns before.

The release of the adverts coincides with widespread anger in parts of the Middle East over an anti-Muslim film made in the US and released on the Internet.

Next week heads of state from all over the world will be converging on the city amid heightened security for the UN General Assembly.

The Washington DC MTA has deferred the placement of the controversial ads "out of concern for public safety, given current world events".

But New York MTA Transportation spokesman Aaron Donovan said: "Our hands are tied."

There had been some suggestions that the city's transit body was trying to find a way to stop the adverts appearing.

However, another spokesperson for the MTA told Sky News it appeared the ads are definitely going ahead, although he was unable to say on which day, and at which subway stations.

Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American Islamic Relations, told Sky News: "Our basic position is that the first amendment means that everyone is free to be a bigot or even an idiot like Pamela Geller.

"We wish she wasn't provoking and inciting hatred, but in America that's her right.

"We encourage Muslims to exercise the same right to publicly denounce such adverts.

"The real danger is the spread of hatred in our society, which can lead to attacks on innocent people."
