Pat Condell: Human Rights Travesty

Hat tip to Mark Alexander of A New Dark Age Is Dawning:



Another video below the fold.




Pat Condell's no-nonsense commentaries are not broadcast on the mainstream media.

Can you imagine how the world would change if all the major news networks in the West would broadcast Pat Condell's political commentaries?

International Monitoring Of Islamphobia Proposed

From Weasel Zippers, citing this source:

The Quran-burning controversy in the United States has prompted the Islamic bloc at the United Nations to revive its call for the U.N. to set up an “international monitoring mechanism” to track incidents of “Islamophobia.”

[...]

At the U.N. Human Rights Council this week, OIC members are also seeking support for a resolution condemning Florida pastor Terry Jones’ abortive call to burn copies of the Quran on September 11.

[...]

When it comes to a vote — before the Council’s session in Geneva ends next Friday [October 1] — the measure almost certainly will pass. The OIC controls more than one-third of the Council’s seats, and its resolutions are routinely backed by non-Muslim allies such as China, Russia, Cuba and South Africa.

Islamic law as the new world order means saying goodbye to our First Amendment. As just one example of what can happen when Muslims perceive that shari'a is violated, even in a society which doesn't live under shari'a law, read about the situation in which Molly Norris has found herself.

The OIC wants all of us to live in fear of offending Islam.

Information about the OIC, from this 2006 article, "Islamic Assault on the First Amendment":

The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), composed of 57 Muslim countries, formulated a resolution that Islam be protected from “defamation” even if factual. On April 12, 2005, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights passed a resolution by the vote of 31 to 16 that promotes “respect for all religions and their value system” superceding “respect for human rights”. Accordingly, accusing Islam of violating human rights is in itself an act of defamation of Islam.

And note this information about the OIC's upcoming conference in Chicago. Pastorius of Infidel Bloggers Alliance says this about the conference, in which the OIC will lecture us about Islamophobic:

It’s nauseating the Islamic supremacists from the OIC will be lecturing us on “Islamophobia” while on American soil.

Just how far does Islamification have to go before the West cries, "Enough"?

BHO's War On Free Speech

From this essay in Human Events:

The Obama Administration has now actually co-sponsored an anti-free speech resolution at the United Nations. Approved by the U.N. Human Rights Council last Friday, the resolution, cosponsored by the U.S. and Egypt, calls on states to condemn and criminalize “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.”

[...]

Last year the Secretary General of the [Organization of the Islamic Conference] chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu issued a warning: “We sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed” regarding free speech about Islam and terrorism. And he reported success: “The official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom of expression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked.”

For the first time, an American President has bowed to the OIC’s demands and taken cognizance of that “responsibility”...

Once eroded, freedom of speech is consigned to the dustbin of history. We are witnessing the early stages of that consignment to the trash heap right now.

The United States Has Given Up Control Of The Internet

(Two posts today. Please scroll down to the post below for a humorous graphic)



The consequences remain to be seen.

The decision was Washington-based.

From this article in the Guardian:

After complaints about American dominance of the internet and growing disquiet in some parts of the world, Washington has said it will relinquish some control over the way the network is run and allow foreign governments more of a say in the future of the system.

Icann – the official body that ultimately controls the development of the internet thanks to its oversight of web addresses such as .com, .net and .org – said today [September 30] that it was ending its agreement with the US government.

The deal, part of a contract negotiated with the US department of commerce, effectively pushes California-based Icann towards a new status as an international body with greater representation from companies and governments around the globe.

[...]

The new agreement comes into force immediately. It replaces the old version which had been in place since 1998 and was scheduled to expire today [September 30].

[...]

"We expect more active involvement from governments, a higher level of participation from many governments and we're already hearing about more governments joining the team…

Read the entire article here. The article makes the kumbaya sound attractive.

But just how will Islamic countries react to sites critical of Islam? And how much power will foreign governments have over the web?

Additional reading: this post at Atlas Shrugs in which Pamela Geller says the following:

If not America, who? The US, beacon of life, liberty, and stalwart defender of individual rights, is giving up "ownership" of the internet. The new agreement gives other countries, and the UN the ability to set internet use policies. Wee, dear friends ..... for those whose only shot of communication will be snuffed out.

It is amazing how much damage to our rights can be done in such a short period of time.

Watch for Sharia law to find its way into this.

China will say no to their dissidents.

Islam will say no and work block sites that attempt to reveal their bloody plans.

It was our extraordinary gift to the world ............... and like some depraved drunk we toss it away and relinquish control to the vultures and destroyers. We kept it free.

Read it all!

Despite its many flaws, the Internet has been a beacon of truth and of information. What if that light gets dimmed? The light will dim or possibly completely go out if the "world community" takes complete control of the web!
