Amnesty International
<p>via <b><i>Amnesty International is US State Department Propaganda</i></b> by Tony Cartalucci (Aug 22, 2012)
"Finding financial information on Amnesty International’s website is made purposefully difficult – specifically to protect the myth that the organization is “independent.” Like any organized criminal operation, Amnesty separates compromising financial ties through a series of legal maneuvers and shell organizations. Upon Amnesty’s website it states:</p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" >“The work carried out through Amnesty International’s International Secretariat is organised into two legal entities, in compliance with United Kingdom law. These are Amnesty International Limited (“AIL”) and Amnesty International Charity Limited (“AICL”). Amnesty International Limited undertakes charitable activities on behalf of Amnesty International Charity Limited, a registered charity.”</blockquote>
<p >And it is there, at Amnesty International Limited, where ties to both governments and corporate-financier interests are kept. On page 11 of Amnesty International Limited’s <a href="http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/FIN40/012/2010/en/2067a089-cb5a-4dab-b07f-e108a8076097/fin400122010en.pdf">2011 Report and Financial Statement (.pdf)</a> it states (emphasis added):</p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" >“The Directors are pleased to acknowledge the support of the <b>John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation</b>, the <b>Oak Foundation</b>, <b>Open Society</b> Georgia Foundation, the <b>Vanguard Charitable Endowment Programme</b>, <b>Mauro Tunes and American Jewish World Service</b>. The <b>UK Department for International Development</b> (Governance and Transparency Fund) continued to fund a four year human rights education project in Africa. The <b>European Commission (EuropeAid)</b> generously awarded a multi-year grant towards Amnesty International’s human rights education work in Europe.”</blockquote>
<p >Clearly then, Amnesty does take money from both governments and corporate-financier interests, one of the most notorious of which, Open Society, is headed by <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/03/surpise-soros-is-convicted-criminal.html">convicted financial criminal George Soros</a>. In March, 2012, it was reported that a Bloomberg’s report, “<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-06/soros-loses-human-rights-appeal-against-insider-trading-case.html">Soros Loses Case Against French Insider-Trading Conviction</a>,” indicated that an appeal based on a “human rights” violation against Wall Street speculator George Soros had been rejected by the “European Court of Human Rights.”
Soros, whose Open Society <a href="http://www.hrw.org/partners">also funds Human Rights Watch</a> and a myriad of other “human rights” advocates, literally attempted to use the West’s human rights racket to defend himself against charges of financial fraud in perhaps the most transparent illustration of just how this racket operates.
Soros, who was <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2002/dec/20/france.internationalnews">convicted and fined for insider trading in 2002</a> regarding French bank Société Générale shares he bought in 1988, has built an empire out of obfuscating global criminal activity with the cause of “human rights.” His support, as well as that of the British and European governments, of Amnesty International aims solely at expanding this obfuscating.
<b>Amnesty International’s Leadership</b>
Amnesty’s leadership is also telling of its true agenda. Suzanne Nossel, <a href="http://www.amnestyusa.org/about-us/who-we-are/executive-director-of-amnesty-international-usa">Executive Director of Amnesty International USA</a>, for instance was <a href="http://www.voltairenet.org/Hillary-Clinton-aide-at-the-helm">drawn directly from the US State Department</a> – again, utterly contradicting Amnesty’s claims of being “independent” of governments and corporate interests. Nossel continued promoting US foreign policy, but simply behind a podium with a new logo, Amnesty International’s logo, attached to it. Amnesty International’s website specifically mentions Nossel’s role behind US State Department-backed UN resolutions regarding Iran, Syria, Libya, and Cote d’Ivoire.</p>
<div class="separator" ><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HpeADAjrlP4/UDROyym0i9I/AAAAAAAAC78/Mg_CfkAEOqQ/s1600/Nossel_DifferentPodium_SameLies.jpg" ><img src="/9aee9665-80c9-5645-ac96-afcc431f7dca.jpg"/></a></div>
<p ><i><b>Image: </b>Same lies, different podium. Suzanne Nossel previously of the US State Department, is now executive director of Amnesty International USA. Her primary function of dressing up aspirations of corporate-financier global hegemony as “human rights advocacy” has not changed.</i></p>
<div >….</div>
<p >It has been documented at great length how these issues revolve around <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/globalists-coming-full-circle.html">a decades long plan devised by corporate-financier interests</a> to divide, destroy and despoil these nations who are seen as obstacles to US global hegemony. In the case of Syria specifically, it was revealed that the current “human rights” catastrophe stems back to <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/syrian-war-prequel.html">a malicious 2007 conspiracy</a> documented by “New Yorker” journalist Seymour Hersh, between the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia which sought to purposefully fund, arm, and deploy sectarian extremists to undermine and overthrow the Syrian government – this<a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/06/bloomberg-syria-violence-is-sectarian.html"> knowing full well the human tragedy that would unfold</a>.
Nossel’s “contributions” then are simply to dress up naked military aggression and the pursuit of global corporate-financier hegemony with the pretense of “human rights” advocacy.
A glance at AmnestyUSA.org reveals that each and every front the US State Department is currently working on and has prioritized is also coincidentally prioritized by Amnesty International. This includes rallies and campaigns to support <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/12/wall-street-vs-russia.html">US State Department-funded Russian opposition groups</a> (currently fixated on “<a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/08/who-or-what-is-russias-pussy-riot.html">Pussy Riot</a>“), undermining the Syrian government, toppling the <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/besieging-belarus.html">government of Belarus</a>, and supporting the <a href="http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/11/burmese-pro-democracy-movement-creation.html">Wall Street-London created Aung San Suu Kyi</a> of Myanmar (still called by its British Imperial nomenclature of “Burma” by Suu Kyi herself).
