Amnesty International or Amnesia International concerning Fukushima?

 

Francis Boyle, Professor of International Law, former Amnesty board member: I was involved in trying to prevent their publication of the dead babies report on Iraq that was so warmongering. I couldn’t do it. Certainly, Amnesty works as an adjunct to the State Department.

The International Committee of the Red Cross, which tries to make it appear as if they’re the “high holy priesthood” of human rights movements – the ex-CIA agent Ralph McGehee he established they were penetrated by the CIA, I myself found them ferrying guerrillas in then-south Sudan to work against the government of Sudan. I sent them a demarche, they never bothered to respond.Likewise,Médecins Sans Frontières, again Ralph McGehee proving that they were penetrated by French intelligence agents. So I think it’s fair to say that that’s true for all of them.

Arlight20111 notes this extract from the Amnesty website has no mention of the new secrets law or the measures the Japanese government is taking to force people back into the contaminated areas to live, no mention of the childrens thyroid cancers nor any health effects, forcing the homeless, unemployed and disabled to work in hazardous conditions at the destroyed  nuclear power plant site nor do they mention any of the imprisoned citizens that rescued animals in the contaminated zones etc etc;

Extract from Amnesty Internationals Japan website reads like the pro nuclear UNSCEAR report on Fukushima…???

It remains to be seen how the government will rebuilt its trust with people in Japan. But there are specific actions the government can take. First, it must ensure that oversight of private industry, including the nuclear power industry, is truly independent and effective. Second, it can commit to transparency in the evaluation of the current nuclear plans and commission studies by truly independent experts on the potential impact of the plants and any possible accidents on the people in the area and the environment. Based on these studies the government should take appropriate action to prevent negative impacts. Third the government can set up a system for sharing information in a crisis that facilitates timely communication from the state to the local government and to the people. Finally, the government can support vigorous debate in government and promote the freedom of expression in civil society, including for people who challenge the government and corporate actors.

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.

RT: Groups meant to bring peace are running the scams that start war. Coming up.

Announcer: NGOs accused of the hoaxes pushing Ukraine to war.
Former Amnesty board member warns all human rights groups have been infiltrated.
And CNN buys the latest State Department scam.

I Am A Ukrainian viral video: I am the Ukrainian, the native of Kiev.

RT: This viral video hyped by the mainstream is the latest exposed as a State Department hoax. The opposite of the stated ‘grassroots’ expression by Ukrainians, it’s actually by a California firm and produced by a man called Larry Diamond of the US State Department and its NGO the National Endowment for Democracy.

The video’s designed notes Activist Post to con the public to back more foreign intervention, by associating Ukraine’s shockingly violent coup with some peaceful, fragrant girl called Julia, instead of Nazi insurgents who’ve murdered their way to power, or Assistant State Secretary Vic Nuland, caught revealing she’d plotted this coup against the elected government, long before the protests started.

Investigative reporter Paul Joseph Watson notes CNN’s Anderson Cooper for some reason is often the point-man for these State Department hoaxes.

Paul joins us, great to speak to you. What’s going on?

Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars Editor: So you could look at the example of Anderson Cooper, he sold the Kony 2012 scam, which was similar to this I Am A Ukrainian scam, and he quickly had to abandon that once in became obvious that that was a contrived agenda to justify US military intervention in Africa.

And then even after that he sold the Syria Danny scam, which was the situation involving a, quote, “Syrian activist”, who was in fact staging YouTube videos to blame atrocities on the Assad regime as a mean to discrediting demonizing the Syrian government and justifying US military intervention.

And what’s interesting is the mainstream media interviews of Yulia that occurred in the past couple of weeks credit her with being the creator of the video, when in fact it was created by a production company linked directly to the US State Department. So the key man behind the video, according to the production company itself, was Larry Diamond.

RT: Larry Diamond’s “National Endowment for Democracy” is funding at least dozens of Ukrainian groups they simply dub “pro-democracy”, and “human rights”. In fact, these groups’ websites call for assassination of political opponents. As one headline reads “He needs to be killed”.

Rioters have been handed out these instructions by a State Department-funded NGO called Canvas. Canvas made identical flyers in Arabic for US-backed protests in Egypt.

In fact, instructions with the NGO’s fist logo have been distributed wherever countries resist takeover by Wall Street.

F. William Engdahl, author of Myths, Lies and Oil Wars: They are going in every place since the end of the Cold War to destabilize regimes which offer resistance to this larger agenda, the globalization agenda, as Washington defines it.

RT: NGOs pay protesters $35 to turn up, notes the Foreign Policy journal, rising to hundreds for violence.

This protest organizer admitted how much US NGOs paid him, and their real target.

‘Dmytro’, protest promoter: 1 million bucks.

Interviewer: 1 million dollars?

Dmytro: Yes. Some smaller country like Belarus for instance, or Ukraine, and then we can get Russia.

Vic Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State: We’ve invested over $5bn to assist Ukraine in these and other goals. They’re doing so peacefully, with great courage, and with enormous personal restraint as they sang hymns, and prayed for peace. As we take Ukraine into the future that it deserves.

RT: This “future it deserves” reports European Tribune was arranged even before protests started. Leaked images show NATO teaching Ukraine’s neo-Nazi gangs, here wearing a Nazi hat, “terrorism and subversion”, how to use radio-controlled mines, sniper rifles in civilian areas, and “spreading human rights and democracy”.

When they seized power last week they began spraying swastikas and defacing synagogues with the words Death To The Jews, but using a more offensive word than Jews.

The book Ideal Illusions: How the U.S. Government Co-opted Human Rights found a State Department meeting chose the terms “human rights” and “democracy” as its perfect foil. Such broad terms could justify attacking anyone while Hollywood and media paint US as the model – despite by far the world’s largest prison population and far and away the world’s most appalling war crimes including the murder of millions in Iraq. Real or invented offences in target nations would be presented as symptomatic and requiring regime change, whereas far worse American violations are just, quote, “mistakes”.

In fact, the very term “human rights group”, notes the site Global Research, couldn’t be more false. Each US bombing campaign’s not just supported by NGOs. They have been the very instigators of the scams that push decision-makers to destroy human rights, and human lives, around the world.

Over 70 leading NGOs claimed Gaddafi had murdered 6,000 in Benghazi, the claim on which the UN approved intervention. After the war, where NATO killed even more people than the claimed attack, NGOs admitted it wasn’t true.

One of those signatories was Human Rights Watch, which told Obama to continue rendition, the practice of flying people to third-party states to strip them of rights.

The group claims the UN blamed the Ghouta chemical attack on Syria’s government – it was not even in the UN mandate to apport blame. And also regrets the US hasn’t bombed Damascus, on the grounds that it, quote, “fails to ensure justice”.

“Justice”, for Human Rights Watch notes the Ron Paul Institute’s Daniel McAdams, means NATO killing far more people than even the alleged attack.

Daniel joins us, great to see you. Why are “human rights groups” behaving like this?

Daniel McAdams, Executive Director, Ron Paul Institute: Well, you know what Human Rights Watch is kind of a pseudo-private intelligence agency. They often have people on the ground first and they are able to dominate the media coverage of an event they can inflate figures, they can deflate figures, depending on the position of US foreign policy.

This human rights organization that issued a report about Gaddafi was using jet planes to kill people and he’d killed 6,000, it was repeated the same way as gospel. As gospel. And then a very good French filmmaker named Julien Teil made a film where he interviewed the individual who was responsible for writing that report, a Libyan citizen, and he asked him where is the proof for your assertions, and he just looked at the camera, and said, “there is no proof.”

Sliman Bouchuiguir, Head of NGO responsible for UN resolution on Libya: There is no proof. What can I tell you? There is none.

RT: In what Human Rights Investigations called a scandal of the first order the State Official who took NGOs’ Libyan hoax to the UN was rewarded with the chair of Amnesty USA.

Suzanne Nossel promptly made one of Amnesty’s big four campaigns a celebration of NATO bombing Afghanistan with the catchphrase: “NATO, Keep The Progress Going!” 12 years of Afghan war’s been a disaster, the UN’s relief chief warns increasingly men and women can’t even feed themselves let alone any other rights.

Political activist Eric Draitser joins us, great to speak to you. What’s going on?

Eric Draitser, writer, Boiling Frogs Post: Look at some of America’s wars to understand the way in which Amnesty International functions as a propaganda mouthpiece. If you look at the Amnesty International campaign with regard to Afghanistan, what do they put front and center – the “rights of women”. By putting it out there in that fashion they are acting to sell the war, the continued occupation of Afghanistan, to the American people, using the face of young Afghan women to justify what is a nakedly imperial war. This is the sad truth of what Amnesty International does. That Amnesty International, like the other NGOs, act as an appendage of United States foreign policy, they act as an appendage of finance capital.

RT: Congress authorized the First Gulf War by just five votes. Four of those members said they backed it due to an Amnesty report rushed through just before, that claimed Iraq soldiers were pulling babies off life support machines. Once war had been approved, Amnesty admitted it was a lie.

The resulting invasion was, quote, “indiscriminate” massacre of hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers, including a four-hour slaughter of thousands of defenseless fleeing people, one US pilot admitted, was like “shooting fish in a barrel.”

Amnesty board member Francis Boyle resigned after hitting a wall of silence on any approach to US, UK or Israeli war crimes; he joins us now, great to see you, can you give us a view from inside the organization?

Francis Boyle, Professor of International Law, former Amnesty board member: I was involved in trying to prevent their publication of the dead babies report on Iraq that was so warmongering. I couldn’t do it. Certainly, Amnesty works as an adjunct to the State Department.

The International Committee of the Red Cross, which tries to make it appear as if they’re the “high holy priesthood” of human rights movements – the ex-CIA agent Ralph McGehee he established they were penetrated by the CIA, I myself found them ferrying guerrillas in then-south Sudan to work against the government of Sudan. I sent them a demarche, they never bothered to respond.Likewise,Médecins Sans Frontières, again Ralph McGehee proving that they were penetrated by French intelligence agents. So I think it’s fair to say that that’s true for all of them.

RT: So what can nations do when they’re targeted by these NGOs?

Boyle: They should be expelled, yes, because they’re basically an arm of the United States government. So NED should be expelled, and the Republican Institute, which is also the Republican Party, they should be expelled too you can’t have agents of foreign governments running around promoting coup d’états and things of that nature. And the same with USAID they should be thrown out too we would never tolerate it here in the United States, except when it comes to the Israel lobby.

RT: When the State Department came up with its plan for “human rights” NGOs in the ’80s, historian James Peck notes the idea was they’d occasionally offer some toothless criticism of US policy, so the public would think they’re fair. Today they’ve given up any pretence of balance, cheering on violent neo-Nazis in Ukraine while simply fabricating lies and false provocations against US targets.

If history is any guide NGOs will do everything to turn Ukraine into international war. When the organizations tasked with preventing conflict are the ones provoking it, the world is in a dangerous place.
