Obstacles to Peace

"While a few independent monitors of human rights situations publish online, the big international NGOs are often corrupted by the power and prestige of rubbing elbows with state and corporate underlings, and have recently become more compliant with the US hegemonic project. Given this scenario, we need to look at some of the facts associated with US aggression toward international human rights law since its outset."

Avaaz: Empire Propaganda Mill Masquerading as Grassroots Activism

The fraudulent ‘humanitarian intervention’ concept is built upon atrocious lies and emotive propaganda peddled by these networks of closely interconnected ‘human rights’, ‘democracy promotion’, and ‘crisis prevention’ groups. Before having an emotional knee-jerk reaction to these issues, we must inspect the people behind these voices. Avaaz’s recent petition feverishly entitled “Protect Syria’s Children Now!” currently has over 780,000 signatures. Orwellian ‘human rights’ outfits such as Avaaz have become adept at manipulating well-meaning activists and liberals into supporting the very agenda they purport to oppose – placing them firmly in the same camp as the most virulent Zionists, Neoconservatives, and war hawks one can imagine. This makes the illusory nature of the left-right dichotomy clearer than ever before, but even more worryingly it expedites the march of the NATO-GCC-Israeli war machine that now has Syria in its crosshairs.

FLASHBACK: Samantha Power and the Weaponization of Human Rights

"Human-rights organizations can do a splendid job of exposing and criticizing abuses, but they are constitutionally incapable of taking stands on larger political issues. No major human-rights NGO opposed the invasion of Iraq. With their legitimacy and funding dependent on a carefully cultivated perception of neutrality, human-rights nonprofits will never be any substitute for an explicitly anti-imperialist political force. In the meantime, America’s best and brightest will continue to explore innovative ways for human rights to serve a thoroughly militarized foreign policy."

BROOKINGS INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES NEXT MOVE IN SYRIA – WAR

"The corporate-financiers centered around the capitals of the West have committed to a global war aimed at permanently destroying nation-states and replacing them with a homogeneous administrative system built out of Wall Street and London-funded NGOs, interlocking with the West's contrived "international institutions." It is in essence, a World War, currently being fought with 4th generation warfare to build a neo-imperial global government. With overt efforts to destabilize nations around the world, including Russia and China, the West's hand is revealed and there is no turning back."

WATCH: NGO Your Enemy: Bogus Reports Fuel Intervention Industry

"Far from helping an embattled nation, NGOs operating in Syria are being accused of helping the push towards military intervention. Some are peddling unverified reports to deliberately encourage foreign action. The agencies hold sway with groups like NATO, which has weighed in on their findings before - with deadly consequences. RT's Marina Portnaya has more."

FLASHBACK: Venezuela: Human Rights Watch Versus Democracy

Did NGOs Help Overthrow Gaddafi? (The Answer Is Yes)

"In Libya, Western funded non-governmental organizations brought a lot attention to the alleged bloodshed ex-leader Mommar Gaddaffi was supposedly imposing on his people. The information gathered was used to justify an attack on Gaddafi and his government, but after his death reports have shown the information that was used to lead the attacks was incorrect. Marina Portnaya takes a closer look into the influence NGO's played in Libya."

Empire’s Double-Edged Sword: Global Military + NGOs

"While today's media is able to project images onto our perception of what an NGO is, with pictures of smiling Africans clutching bags of USAID rice, thriving wildlife, and sprouting, dew-covered seedlings, in reality it is a centralized operation built to tear down the old world, and replace it with a new one. It is a world that does not answer to its inhabitants for anything but the most superficial of levels; instead it answers to the people that rule over it -- the monied elite, ever present, with the most vicious among them feeding their competitors ruthlessly into their maw and gladly expanding into the place left at the table."

“HUMAN RIGHTS” WARRIORS FOR EMPIRE | Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch

“Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have chosen sides in the Washington-backed belligerency – the side of Empire.” Syria has no choice but to secure every square foot of its territory. “Faced with the certainty of superpower-backed attack under the guise of ‘protecting’ civilians in “liberated” territory, Syria cannot afford to cede even one neighborhood of a single city – not one block! – or of any rural or border enclave, to armed rebels and foreign jihadis.”
