Like the
sport of cricket Amnesty International is largely a Commonwealth affair.
Its
historic leadership looks more like The International Cricket Board rather than a
global group with the self-bestowed arbitration on human-rights round the
planet.
From its
very formation by peaceniks in the early sixties Amnesty International has
rallied against democratically elected governments, treatment of their peoples.
Avoided the
hard issues of the day and taken pleasure pissing in its own pants.
Amnesty’s number
one target is The United States but it also has strong anti-Semitic undertones.
Thus Israel
comes in number two for its attentions.
After the
2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah Amnesty strongly crticised the Israeli military
claiming they waged an indiscriminate and disproportionate war targeting
civilians.
Nothing was
said about the rockets and artillery being randomly lobbed into Israel that led
to the invasion in the first place.
Hezbollah is
after-all a terrorist group masquerading as a political party, not that you
would think it listening to Amnesty.
After the July
2012 terrorist attack by Hezbollah in Bulgaria that killed five tourists it is
likely the EU will en masse declare Hezbollah a terrorist organisation. Plenty of
countries already do so.
And where
does Amnesty stand on The Taliban?
It places so-called
abuses by U.S supported troops in the same basket as those of The Taliban!
Amnesty
International is openly critical of the newly elected Afghanistan government
over the treatment of Taliban prisoners.
What about
that other great destabilising force in the world: North Korea?
Until last
year’s report Amnesty International has been all but silent on North Korea.
In-fact it
has released more press reports against human rights concerns in South Korea!
South Korea
is actually sixth on Amnesty’s list of leading human right abusers.
That’s
right, so-called abuses leveled upon the peoples of South Korea by its elected
government are greater than those suffered by say the citizens of North Korea, Chechnya,
Ivory Coast, Sudan etc.
Well at
least according to the ignoramuses at Amnesty International.
And if that
wasn’t a bad enough example of Amnesty International’s selective anti-Western sentiments
the group, as evidenced by the press releases issued, is more concerned about
what the British Government is up-to than the ones in Iran and Burma.
What about
Amnesty International in New Zealand?
Last year
Amnesty in this country gave an award to a [quote] “unique New Zealander” who
openly supported the regime of Pol Pot and the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan.
You read
that right: Amnesty International gave an award to a professed Trotskyist who
supported a regime who’s brutality against its own people is second to none in
the history of mankind.
Former
prime-minister Rob Muldoon is said to have described the Lockes as the most
"notorious Communist family in New Zealand".
In 2011 just
two months after NZ SAS Corporal Doug Grant was murdered by Taliban insurgents
which on duty in Afghanistan Amnesty International in New Zealand was asking
the N.Z Government to look into the treatment of Taliban prisoners!
Amnesty backed
the messed-up Vince Siemer.
Persistently claims to anyone that cares to listen that New
Zealand is lagging behind with indigenous rights - something that could not be more far from the truth.
Told The
United Nations last year that New Zealand is continuing to discriminate against
Maori through the Marine and Coastal Area Act.
As
evidenced by its activities in New Zealand Amnesty International clearly has an
extreme left-wing political agenda, yet likes to portray itself as being
politically neutral?!
But, what
effect do any of these reports/proclamations pouring forth from their plush English headquarters have on making the world a better place?
What coverage
does Amnesty get in say The Tehran Times?
Who got Amnesty's award in The Ivory Coast last year?
Does The
North Korean National News Agency run a lead article on its report into slave
labour in the country?
The
repressive regime in Somalia, do they give a flying-fuck what some toffee nosed
public educated Pom from Amnesty has to say?
That
logical and only conclusion one can make about Amnesty International is they
are pissing in the wind.
