There are many groups, people, movements, etc… that kill, torture and intimidate on a scale that dwarfs the Quantanamo/Bagram/Abu Graib atrocities.

But those groups are not in Amnesty International’s way. They don’t steal the spotlight. They are not perceived by Amnesty International to be a threat to its mission, so they don’t irritate Amnesty International the way America does. Amnesty is simply trying to use hyperbole to knock the Giant down a few pegs.

Also, Amnesty International and like-minded groups believe that America is the primary reason that their vision of a peaceful world has not yet been successfully applied. This was even believed during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union was regularly perceived as responding to American provocation.

The burden of Hegemony.

Planned Parenthood has never been simply a health and education organization. Margaret Sanger was a Nazi sympathizer. She invited prominent Nazi eugenics proponents to write articles for her magazine. Today, Planned Parenthood is countries largest abortion provider. They make millions from abortion services.

I enjoyed the pun-athon. I agree with the idea that we should stay away from physchanalysis.The idea’s are so stupid that we should direct ourselves to tearing their thoughts apart rather then explaining the origins of their moronic theories. Of course this is just another example of my hegomonic tendencies.

One tiny correction. Someone mentioned that Stalin’s Gulag was primarily for his political enemies. This is correct but it needs to be expanded. Stalins paranoia made virtually anyone a candidate for the political enemies list. Many of the victims shot in the bowels of Moscow prisons and who died in the meatgrinder of the gulag were enthusiatic supporters of Stalin and had no intention of trying to unseat him.Many died pleading to their guards to just call Stalin because they believed that if Stalin only knew this was happening the tragic mistake would corrected. District leaders were given specific numbers of wreckers to round up and their view of Stalin was not important because they had a quota to fill. Stalins famous statement that the Soviet Union did not have prisoners of war but only had traitors to the state meant that anyone who was captured by the Nazi’s and survived had the good fortune to recieve a tenner in the gulag for their service to the State.

There is so much more but even the tiny amount of facts that I have listed makes AI staements even more retarded. Yes, there could be some innocent people in Gitmo.But the majority of the 500 prisoners who are there were members of the Taliban or Al Queda and they were non uniformed soldiers fighting for a Islamo fascist organization and should not recieve the rewards of the Geneva convention because the way they fought the war and would have continued to fight the war would not qualify them to the benifits accorded a state combatant as defined in the Geneva convention. The one thing that the MSM never brings up is that the Geneva convention does give specific requirements on who is a real POW. These gents do not qualify.

The difference is that such hyperbole in the international arena will be used to jazz up a few more jihadists who will go after our troops and others. You’re right- the hype and money are similar, but there likely will be blood splattered on some of the checks that AI will get.
