buzzsawmonkey sums it up
Here is a brief essay that buzzsawmonkey posted as a comment in a recent guest post by huckfunn, namely American Sovereignty Under Attack By U.S. State Department:
“Human rights,” and “human rights” language, have increasingly infiltrated domestic political discourse over the last 40-odd years.
It began when the Civil Rights Movement, having been hijacked by the Marxists, separatists and Islamists, began demanding rights over and above the civil rights that King and the original movement had been rightly seeking.
It continued when the gay-rights movement, which could not lay claim to “sexual preference or orientation” being a suspect classification under Constitutional law (as “race” was, and is), began demanding recognition, and concessions, on a “human rights” basis.
It has continued since the Islamist movement, which took its playbook entirely from the gay-rights movement (including adoption of the bogus “-ophobia” locution), began demanding special rights over and above the freedom of religion which everyone enjoys.
buzzsawmonkey sums it up very well indeed.
The hard-left origin and pro-jihadi agenda of the ‘human rights’ movement
Now for some background on just how the Marxists got everyone started on this spurious ‘human rights’ rhetoric, and just a few examples of how the tranzi-progressive/jihadist convergence has been using ‘human rights’ mudslinging to further the jihadi agenda.
I have previously blogged about the true origins and purpose of Amnesty International in The True Genesis of Amnesty International: It’s not what you might think!:
And if you have ever suspected that Amnesty International is anything but politically neutral, despite its stated policy of representing “prisoners of conscience” from both the left and the right, you will learn exactly how and why your suspicions are correct.
According to Veliz:
The Cold War experience would also have confirmed Münzenberg’s conviction that waged urbi et orbi, such campaigns would be ignored inside a communist world undisturbed by a free press and public opinion, but would undermine the moral status of policies advanced by the United States and its allies.
Any organization, especially one that was founded on corrupt principles to begin with, is liable to become even more corrupt over time. It can become a magnet for self-serving, greedy, malevolent, and in every way unsavory characters, along with some outright psychopaths and sickos.
It is no surprise that organizations such as Amnesty International that supported the Communist agenda during the Cold War, currently use use the same tactics to support the jihadi agenda now that the Muslim world is our primary enemy. All the while, employees of such organizations enrich themselves and promote their own careers.
Also see:
- Why Amnesty International is a fraud and deserves NO support
- Nazi fetishist at Human Rights Watch
(no surprise, considering that HRW is a George Soros-funded agency)
‘Human rights’ rhetoric is a fig leaf for jihadism and shari’a
During the Cold War, Amnesty International and similar organizations knew that their protests against abuses on the part of Communist-bloc countries were empty and ineffectual posturing, intended only to give themselves a veneer of impartiality, that would be ignored within territory controlled by Communist governments. They also knew that their protests against non-Communist governments would do immense damage to the free world. They were correct on both counts.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, ‘human rights’ NGOs and activists have successfully repurposed themselves, but their agenda against Judaeo-Christian civilization remains unchanged. They know full well that their protests against the truly evil practices taking place within Islamic countries are an empty show that will be ignored by the authorities and will have no effect in slowing the spread of jihadism and shari’a. On the other hand, their exaggerated protests against even the most minimal efforts on the part of non-Muslim individuals, governments, and communities to protect themselves against jihadism and creeping shari’a are likely to have a crippling impact on the survival of the non-Muslim world.
If you aren’t visiting Jihad Watch every day, you’re missing a lot of valuable information about what is going on in the world:
Jihad Watch: Mission Not Accomplished: Taliban, Sharia making comeback in Afghanistan
“…reconciliation with the Taliban will encourage conservative Islamic clerics and hard-line Islamists, including the moderate elements of the Taliban, to push for the implementation of a harsh justice system that would directly contradict the human-rights guarantees enshrined in the current Afghan Constitution.”
Too late. The human rights guarantees enshrined in the current Afghan Constitution are already hollow and subject to Sharia. Just ask Abdul Rahman, the celebrated Afghan convert from Islam to Christianity a few years ago.
Jihad Watch: Spain: Catalonian parliament rejects burqa ban
…So, politics matter more than principles?
Nine municipalities in Catalonia, including Barcelona, have banned the use of face-covering Islamic veils in public or are considering doing so.
Human rights group Amnesty International had called on the Catalan deputies to reject the motion.
“Any wide-ranging ban will violate the rights to freedom of expression and religion of those women who choose to wear a full-face veil as an expression of their identity or beliefs,” said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International’s expert on discrimination in Europe.
“Women should be free to choose what and what not to wear. This is their right under international human rights law.”
While you’re at it, tell that to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. And while you’re at it, tell it to the women who have been harassed, threatened, raped, and subjected to beatings and honor killings in the Muslim world for choosing not to wear the veil, or for not veiling enough. Or are those countries “more equal than others” in being allowed to state the norms of behavior for their societies?
Dhimmitude, cowardice, craven opportunism, and blind Leftist America-hatred. An update on this story, “Embattled Gender Analyst Leaves Post at Amnesty,” from Women’s eNews, n.d. (thanks to Morgaan Sinclair):
Gita Sahgal calls her entry into the world of journalism “sort of accidental,” but her most recent news appearances have been entirely on purpose.
On Feb. 7, the Sunday Times of London published her sharp critique of Amnesty International’s support for former Guantanamo prisoner Moazzam Begg. She went public, the article says, because her internal warnings had been ignored.
Amnesty, the nearly 50-year-old rights group founded to speak on behalf of prisoners of conscience, has hailed Begg as a human rights defender, hosted him on speaking tours and included him in a meeting with politicians at Downing Street.
Sahgal has called him “Britain’s most famous supporter of the Taliban.” She points to passages in his 2006 autobiography, Enemy Combatant, where he describes moving to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan to “live in an Islamic state–one that was free from the corruption and despotism of the rest of the Muslim world.” He also ran a bookstore in Birmingham, England, that sold works by known al-Qaida mentor Abdullah Azzam.
Jihad Watch: Amnesty International throws human rights under the bus, endorses ‘defensive jihad’
The clueless dhimmis at AI have no idea, I’m sure, that every jihad being waged around the world today is cast by the jihadis as defensive — in the absence of a caliph, an offensive jihad would be illegal according to Sharia. Thus Osama bin Laden, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed and all the rest have explained the most vile acts of mass murder as “defensive jihad.” And that is apparently just fine with Amnesty International.
“Row over support for ‘defensive jihad,’” by Hasan Suroor in The Hindu, April 2 (thanks to Twostellas):
LONDON: Leading South Asian rights campaigners have accused Amnesty International of “undermining” the rights movement, especially the campaign against sex and gender discrimination, by working with extremist — often misogynist — groups engaged in what they claim is “defensive jihad”.
The row follows remarks by Claudio Cordone, its secretary-general, that “defensive jihad” was not “antithetical” to human rights. He made the comments in response to a Global Petition from rights activists questioning Amnesty’s alliance with Cageprisoners, founded by Moazzam Begg, an ex-Guantanamo Bay prisoner and dubbed “Britain’s most famous supporter of the Taliban” by a former Amnesty official.
Also, be sure to read this comment. It is too long to reprint here in its entirety, and excerpting it would not do it justice.
‘Human rights’ as a tool to muzzle the counterjihad movement
This is from the redoubtable Canadian journalist and blogger, Ezra Levant:
Ezra Levant: Richard Warman must hand over his computer for inspection
It’s been months since I’ve given a report about the nuisance SLAPP lawsuits that Canada’s illiberal censors have unleashed against me. As longtime readers will know, I was targeted by Canada’s Orwellian human rights industry back in 2006 when they falsely prosecuted me for publishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in a magazine, and I dared to fight back instead of go meekly.
Those bullies dropped the cartoon prosecution against me (after 15 government bureaucrats and lawyers dined out on me for 900 days), leaving me with $100,000 in legal bills. (Thank you for helping me pay that bill, dear reader.) But then the most aggressive members of the human rights industry proceeded to punish me by filing over 20 law society complaints and five defamation suits against me, which have been proceeding ever since.
Today’s story in the National Post about one of those lawsuits seems like a good opportunity to give an update.
Warman must hand over his neo-Nazi records
The Post story is headlined “Lawyer who launched libel suit against Ezra Levant ordered to hand over computer”, and that’s a pretty accurate summary of what happened this week. In brief, an Ontario judge has ordered Richard Warman, a former Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) staffer and Canada’s most prolific censor, to hand over a copy of his laptop computer to an independent forensic expert, who will search it for evidence relevant to Warman’s Nazi activities…
Now that the ‘race card’ is overdrawn…
…watch out for the 'human rights' card.
The 'race card' has been overplayed for so long that people can recognize its tattered edges and dog-eared corners. It no longer works so well as a club to hit Tea Partiers, antijihadists, and other non-leftists over the head with, because too many people start laughing whenever it appears.
The 'human rights' card is still in active circulation, and it's our job to put a stop to it. Whenever you hear 'human rights' rhetoric used by anyone, especially in the presence of the '-ophobia' meme, be suspicious and inquire further.
True, people sometimes use ‘human rights’ rhetoric to complain about a genuine injustice against someone. That’s a good opportunity for us to introduce a more accurate term into the debate, such as injustice or cruelty or tyranny or violation of Constitutional rights – whatever terminology is best suited to the circumstances.
Generally speaking, the term ‘human rights’ is used as a weapon against Judaeo-Christian civilization and a weapon to advance the tranzi-progressive/jihadist coalition. Whenever we see that, it’s time for us to call it out as a leftist code-word and refuse to give it any further legitimacy.
Update: More comments by buzzsawmonkey
Apologies in advance for the post-pimp/repetition, but my first post in the thread referenced at the top of this one bears re-reading:
At the risk of repeating myself, I would remind people that “human rights” are, by their nature, antithetical to the concept of liberty as enshrined in the American Constitution.
“Human rights” are dispensations doled out by the government to the people. The “human rights” view of the world is that government is the source of, and grantor of, rights. What this means, in practice, is that the government can grant or withhold “human rights” at its pleasure, and may give “human rights” to those groups it finds worthy on the basis of the government’s own criteria.
The US Constitution is fundamentally different. It presumes that human beings have liberty—which is to say, citizens can do whatever they want except as their actions must be circumscribed by the government for the common good and maintenance of public order. To ensure that this circumscription is as minimal as possible, and that liberty is therefore as great as possible, the powers granted to the government are limited and enumerated—and civil rights, enforced by the rule of law, grant citizens rights against the government to ensure that the government does not exceed the limitations of its charter.
Thus, “human rights” presume that government is all-powerful, and grants rights to the people—or withholds them—at its will. The Constitution presumes that people are free, that government is limited, and that such restrictions on people’s freedom as are necessary are further limited by the safeguards of civil rights.
Any attempt to overlay a “human rights” model on the liberty and civil rights enshrined in the Constitution is an attack on the Constitution and the very idea of the United States.

“The Palestinian Authority will never recognize Israel as a Jewish state,” Palestinian negotiator Nabil Sha’ath said Wednesday, just a week after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas launched direct talks in Washington.
“Such a declaration would directly threaten the Muslims and Christians in Israel and prevent Palestinian refugees, who left their homes and villages a number of decades ago, from being granted the right to return to them,” Sha’ath told reporters in Ramallah.
Sorry but remind me again why there “peace” talks?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu eulogized Major-General Israel Tal, who died Wednesday at the age of 86, saying “Major-General Tal was one of the center pillars of the IDF and Israel’s national security.
“He was completely devoted to the State’s security and assuring the future of the people of Israel,” he said. (Attila Somfalvi)

Those are all leftist code words. “Racist” and “bigot” didn’t start out that way, but they certainly are now. Jeremiah Wright is definitely a racist and a bigot in the old sense of the term. But these days, only people of European ancestry can be “racists” or “bigots”, so the terms have become deprived of all legitimate meaning and are mere name-calling.

Unlike Islam, the independence of the South was NOT a threat to the continued existence of the North. That is the distinction that we need to keep in mind. Total war on anyone, such as the Serbs, who does not present a genuine threat to you, is NOT justified.
The reason the Yankees kept pursuing the war was to make sure they could keep getting taxes when the South used the proceeds of its agricultural products to buy imported goods.
If the South were still independent, the North would not have been able to launch into the empire-building progressive and Wilsonian era. All the evils that inevitably followed from that era would not have happened and world would have been a better place. There would have been no American involvement in World War I, no federal reserve system, no income tax, no Prohibition, no Great Depression, no Third Reich…
In any event, all of this is off topic to this thread. IMO, it should be discussed on some other thread.
This thread should be about ‘human rights’, leftist propaganda, ‘human rights’ NGOs, dhimmitude, and the use of those things to engineer capitulation to Islam.

I’I'm reading Marc Thiessen’s book “Courting Disaster” and it is amazing that they have pulled that whole denial of human rights garbage about treatment of prisoners at GTMO and gotten away with it. For instance, most Americans believe, because that shithead Durbin said so, that waterboarding took place at GTMO. It didn’t.
@ Rodan:
Yup, but the Religion of Peace wants Andolusia back.
They even teach yoots in madrass schools that it is their
duty to reclaim it.
He hides his intention in plain sight.

Well I look forward to it and will keep an eye out for it.
Thanks, now it’s off to the basement!
There are NO other rights other than INDIVIDUAL rights. All the other BS is just that— BS.

Human Rights imply collective righst granted by an elite. Individual Rights is the natural form.

Beating Arabs in our DNA. We are the wolf to their sheeps.
Fuck Islam!
Muslims seem to beleive that anywhere that they have been still belongs to them.
I suppose that a cab driver in Peoria named Mohammad makes the city theirs.
@ PrincessNatasha:
The notion of individuality is one of the core Western values that is under attack from both the Left and Islam. They want us to be collective creatures, with no individuality or personal hopes or dreams or goals. For Islam, submersion in the Umma is Submission. For the Left, it is the only way to make their neo-feudal system work. “From each according to his measure, to each according to his needs” can only work when the individual is submersed in the Collective. When they are satisfied with a subsistance living. That is why the Left and Islam fit together so well. The Left may hate religion, but Islam isn’t exactly religion. They see it as a way to make Communism work.
The RoPers get smacked back & go dormant even for centuries.
But they come back for more. They don’t learn.

What they seem to not realize is that collectivism is profoundly anti-human. Humans were made in G-ds image, which, to my heathen near-atheist mind means we were made as creators of our own life and our own destiny… If that is the case, then having a controlling body over an individual is an abomination.

@ PrincessNatasha:
The laws limiting individual freedom should be as minimal as necessary to keep a civil society. We can’t allow murder and cannibalism, but I am all for legalizing drugs acrtoss the board. You’d also have to live up to certain standards, i.e. public intoxication and driving under the influence, child neglect and abuse, and such, but those are all problems that we deal with with alcohol, and it hasn’t destroyed civil sociey.

LOL, seems to be a problem. They need to start drinking or something. When you don’t drink, you get bored then get up to all sorts of crazy crap. When you DO drink, there are certain things you are too drunk to do.

Absolutely what you said. “Your right to swing your fists (or other body parts) ends at my nose (or boobs, since they stick out farther)”… A good rule to follow while making laws. Since people realize that living socially benefits them, they will follow the rules. Assholes get whacked. No problem. So, why is it we have so many bureaucrats taking half of our money each year?

Try this.

That’s a good sign, when a woman’s boobs stick out farther than her nose.

@ Scott Madsen:
Yes I got it – thanks. I sent something back your direction – a first pass at pulling the comments out. Hopefully it’ll find it’s way to you. It’s messy but comprehensible, and as I get time it can be cleaned up further.
