Amnesty International supports defensive jihad

Amnesty International, a fascist organization, carries on a long held fascist tradition of making common cause with jihad.

AI Secretary-General Claudio Cordone has issued a letter in vigorous defense of AI's collaboration with Begg and Cageprisoners. ... In the letter, Cordone states AI's position outright: advocacy of "jihad in self defence" is not antithetical to human rights. That Islamists reserve unto themselves the right to determine when Islam is, as they put it, "under siege," and when, therefore, forcible jihad is justified, is plainly of no concern — only actions America's self-defense are worthy of condemnation.

We should not think of the current contest as a dispute between the left and the right but as a conflict between old school liberalism (now usually called conservatism) and a loose alliance of otherwise competing fascist interests who have all (correctly) identified America and American ideology as their greatest foe.

Ten years ago I was researching links between and amongst a prominent tobacco concern, interested parties amongst the Law Lords and Augusto Pinochet's legal defense in the UK. A Chilean human rights organization was a bit baffled I thought the issue newsworthy but let me have free run of their press clippings.

Amnesty International, by contrast, couldn't be asked. They hadn't the slightest interest beyond using Pinochet as a fund raising tool, what happened to the man - let alone justice - was not of the remotest concern to them. This latest slur against the principles Amnesty International claims to represent does not surprise me in the slightest. Nor too this latest example of a red-green alliance to destroy civilization and re-make it as nightmare.
