Women and Children as War Hostages
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNMENT HISTORIAN (link)
Traffic in women and children, Armenians: Numbers were murdered by savage Kurds against whom the Turkish soldiery afforded no protection. Little girls of nine or ten were sold to Kurdish brigands for a few piastres, and women were promiscuously violated. At Sivas an instance was related of a teacher in the Sivas Teachers’ College, a gentle, refined Armenian girl, speaking English, knowing music, attractive by the standards of any land, who was given in enforced marriage to the Beg of a neighboring Kurdish village, a filthy ragged ruffian three times her age, with whom she still has to live, and by whom she has borne a child. In the orphanage there maintained under American Relief auspices, there were one hundred and fifty “brides”, being girls, many of them of tender age, who had been living as wives in Moslem homes, and had been rescued. Of the female refugees among some seventy-five thousand repatriated from Syria and Mesopotamia, we were informed at Aleppo that forty percent are infected with venereal disease from the lives to which they have been forced. The [Page 847]women of this race were free from such diseases before the deportation. Mutilation, violation, torture and death have left their haunting memories in a hundred beautiful Armenian valleys; and the traveler in that region is seldom free from the evidence of this most colossal crime of all the ages. Yet, immunity from it all might have been purchased for any Armenian girl or comely woman by abjuring her religion and turning Moslem. Surely no faith has ever been put to harder test or has been cherished at greater cost.
So when were these stories formulated and sold? Here is a Google Ngram chart from Qing China's 1905 boycott of U.S. exports to enlist Uncle Sam as Pan-Asian Commissioner of Narcotics to the signing of the Versailles Treaty fastening Asian-American prohibitionism onto the entire planet via its Article 23, and the League of Nations Charter Article 23.
In 1911 Christian Russia invaded Persia to oust an American banker the Persian government had hired as Treasurer, to get that Byzantine exporter of opium solvent. One such measure was a tax on opium. Four months later the prohibition-addled Qing Dynasty itself was overthrown and fragmented in a bloody civil war, largely a result of its disastrous handling of the population's weakness for addictive flowers. Beheading, a popular local custom, saw to it that no opium--much less European morphine or other opiates--could land in Chinese ports. Most of the source opium for those was grown in the Balkan States extending westward from Greece to the Adriatic and north to Austria-Hungary and Switzerland. Lots more came from the Ottoman States from Turkey, across Armenia, Persia, to Afghanistan. Those populations suddenly-from October 1911 to winter 1912, found their dope exports blocked and proceeded to wage the Balkan wars so mysterious and surprising to the Office of the U.S. Department of State historians.
While this was going on, Chinese and American agents pressured the Hague to draw up plans to make such prohibitionism permanent and global with everything from service pistols to artillery and bayonets. That is the tale we'll be unfolding by way of background for the wars and atrocities that foreshadowed the Great War through which an Austrian Catholic youth named Adolf Hitler zigzagged before the Versailles Treaty and League of Nations made the banning of trade and production into a multinational corporate war industry. To this day, weavers of government fairytales such as Donald J Mabry, Janos Radvanyi, Douglas Clark Kinder, Richard B Craig, Bruce Michael Bagley, Rensselauer W. Lee III, Raphael Perl, Samuel I del Villar, José Luis Reyna and Gregory F. Treverton gather to justify armed invasion of South American democracies. For this they exploit the brutality committed against women and children in that economically-backward, superstitious region, as a stalking-mare for the initiation of deadly force. Their propaganda book, recently covered in this column, is cynically dedicated

Good software: Google's Ngram generator is the took I prayed for for years.(link) With it you too can visually track the way moral panics were sown and spread through all media to create red herrings, con games, artful dodges, marketing sprees and the most appalling lies imaginable as instruments of dysinformation. Here is a chart you can make for that "good" drug American companies export to this day to those countries whose native leaves they eradicate with poisons, helicopters, infiltrators, occupation forces gunships, aerial bombardment and bribery. These facts are visible thanks to sumptuous ad budgets spent during the interval between the so-called Boxer Revolt and the election of Hitler's National Socialism to totalitarian domination of Germany, then Europe.
