First Awards to Janjaweed, Sudan, China


It was never supposed to be so easy to pick the first annual winner of the P.A.S.S. award. How terrible a human being could you be to win an award of infamy like this one--without competition? Well, we found one, so much so, that although this is the first award, I am willing to back date it for the last five years.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Janjaweed. For those of you less in the know, these are the subhuman bastards that not only have murdered more than 200,000 Sudanese, but they revel in doing so. For the sheer delight of it, they chop off limbs, and rape women and children without conscience, They are bestial

In recent human history, there is not another individual or group that can compare to the Janjaweed. Without challenge, they are the first People Ain't Shit Society award winners.

While their brutality makes them stand alone for the award, there is plenty of blame to go around, merely for the group's existence.

To thwart an impending uprising, in 2004, the Sudanese government armed a militia--the Janjaweed-- to attack rebels and black civilian farmers in Darfur. The group began a reign of terror that, current estimates indicate are responsible for the murder of more than 200,000 and forced relocation of 2.5 million refugees into neighboring Chad and surrounding areas.

Immediately following their formation, came horrifying reports of rapes, amputation, and killing by the Janjaweed. By April, refugees began streaming into neighboring Chad, where attacks on them have continued.

A second award to the inhuman Sudanese government.

But, what about the United Nations? Where were they while this genocide was going on?

Ask the host of the 2008 Olympics. That's right China. For it's own purposes and benefits with Sudanese government, the People's Republic consistently blocked any efforts to provide peacekeeping and rescue forces to Darfur . Finally, through the efforts of Mia Farrow and other activists who began to label the upcoming event, "The Holocaust Olympics," China has rolled back some of its political blockade--at a point when UN forces, are largely ineffective.

Well, People's Republic, this award was supposed to be presented in January. But, because of your inhumane, self-serving, Sudanese support activities, we are happy to present you with your own P.A.S.S. award.

May the Beijing Holocaust Olympics of 2008, bring you nothing but shame and disgrace for your inactivity in the face of one of the most horrifying violations of human rights on the planet. You officially, 'ain't shit.'
