State Department self-censors criticism of Eritrean diaspora tax in Human Rights Report

Posted on by

“With the release of the 2012 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices yesterday, it seems the U.S. State Department has finally realised its hypocrisy in condemning Eritrea for imposing tax on the Eritrean diaspora to fund wars in Africa, while aiding the IRS to impose tax on the American diaspora so that the US can also fund wars in Africa, and the Middle East, and Central Asia, and … Unfortunately, State’s response has not been to levy similar criticisms against the IRS or to stop cooperating with it, but instead to tone down their criticisms of Eritrea.”

China hits back with report on U.S. human rights record

Posted on by

“China on Sunday retorted the U.S. criticism and distortions of its human rights situation by publishing a report of the U.S. human rights record.  The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2012 was released by the Information Office of China’s State Council, or the Cabinet, in response to the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012 issued by the U.S. State Department.  China in the report argued that there are serious human rights problems in the U.S. which incur extensive criticism in the world, as it has posed as ‘the world judge of human rights’ again.”

Did the Southern Poverty Law Center Instigate an Attempted Murder?

Posted on by

“The man arrested for shooting a security guard at the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C. has said in court that he got the idea by reading the Southern Poverty Law Center’s ‘Hate Map.’ Interestingly, every time there’s a multiple shooting the Southern Poverty Law Center is the first to spread the (baseless) rumor in the media that the shooter is ‘thought to have links to right-wing hate groups.’  There is no group of individuals more devoted to spreading hate and intolerance than the Southern Poverty Law Center.  Their schtick is to label anyone who disagrees with their left-wing extremism as a ‘hate group’ or ‘linked to’ a hate group.”

Congress repeals law barring members’ insider trading

Posted on by

“Congress passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act in 2012 in response to the public outcry over members’ self-serving insider trading scandal last year. As with most laws, what is a crime for citizens was not illegal or unethical for members of Congress and their staffs.  It was a fleeting moment of transparency and accountability. Like a cowardly thief in the night, members of Congress quietly colluded to repeal the reporting requirements of the STOCK Act this year by unanimous consent: The shameful ordeal took all of 10 seconds in the Senate and 14 seconds in the House.”

Lawmakers, aides may get Obamacare exemption

Posted on by

“Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.  Yet if Capitol Hill leaders move forward with the plan, they risk being dubbed hypocrites by their political rivals and the American public. By removing themselves from a key Obamacare component, lawmakers and aides would be held to a different standard than the people who put them in office.”

When Homeland Security Theater goes Off-Script

Posted on by

“The FBI, whose chief occupation since 2002 has been the manufacture of ersatz terrorism plots, induced Tounisi into an act described as providing ‘material aid’ to a foreign terrorist group. If he is convicted, he will be found guilty of carrying out the Obama administration’s official policy without official permission. He is not the only American presently facing the prospect of imprisonment on this charge. The administration has filed felony charges against a US Army Veteran from Arizona named Eric Harroun, who traveled to Syria to join the fight against Assad.”

Munich football boss’s Swiss account becomes German political football

Posted on by

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday distanced herself from Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness, whose Swiss bank account and alleged tax dodge has poured fuel on a heated election-year debate.  ‘Many people in Germany are now disappointed in Uli Hoeness,’ said Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert about the football club chief.  The 61-year-old football legend voluntarily disclosed a Swiss bank account in January and was working closely with investigators on a tax evasion probe. At a Bayern Munich press conference, journalists were told that the event would be immediately scrapped if anyone asked about the tax issue.”

“Progressive” Hypocrisy on House-to-House Searches

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“In the U.S. Supreme Court case known as Griswold vs. Connecticut, the justices discovered a ‘right to marital privacy’ in the Constitution.  The same right-to-privacy argument has long been used to justify legalized abortion.  Griswold vs. Connecticut cited the Third Amendment to say that in today’s world, that Amendment means that ‘individual homes should be free from agents of the state.’  So when all those New England ‘progressives’ cheer the cops, SWAT teams, and military thugs who broke into their homes, pushed them around, ordered them out, and trampled all over them, they are repudiating what defines one as a ‘progressive’.”

Christian Bishops Kidnapped by US-Allied Syria Insurgents

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“Today, Syriac Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Archbishops of Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim and Paul Yazigi, were kidnapped by US-allied Islamic insurgents in the village of Kfar Dael as they were ‘carrying out humanitarian work’. The two high-ranking Christian bishops were outspoken in warning about the threats to the religious balance in Syria posed by the Islamist extremists who have received the weapons provided by Saudi Arabia and Qatar with US transport support via Croatia.  The US-backed rebels regularly violate the sanctuaries of Christian churches in their pursuit of a Syria ruled by Sharia law.”
