Finland’s FM Timo Soini says US leaving the UNHRC (freak show) a ‘set back’…….

By KGS6 years agoLeave a comment

No you dunce, allowing the worst of the worst nations to join the UNHRC, let alone run it, was the ‘set back’, not the state calling it out for what it is, a demonstrable, utter failure of its original design and intention…

The former head of the Finns Party (PS) who fortunately bolted from the party a year ago after its summer convention -while taking a gaggle of traitors with him- due to Jussi Halla-aho being voted in as head of the party, is way out of line. This guy is just mouthing a typical Finnish consensus driven mantra. I’m glad he’s no longer in the party. At least he’s not trashing Trump like the current Finnish president did just a few days after meeting with the US president in 2017.

Foreign Minister Soini: US departure from UN Human Rights Council ‘a setback’

Finland’s Foreign Minister Timo Soini says that the decision of the United States to leave the UN Council on Human Rights is a ‘setback’.

Timo Soini

Finland believes the American decision to leave the United Nations Council on Human Rights is a ‘setback’, as Finland had hoped the US would remain part of the body.

The Trump administration said its withdrawal was in protest at what it called ‘anti-Israel’ stances.

Foreign Minister Timo Soini said in an interview with Yle that the US had been a good partner in the council for the advancement of freedom of speech and the strengthening of the international community.

“It’s a setback that they’ve made this decision because the cooperation has been good,” said Soini. “Of course Finland is committed to the work of the Human Rights Council and based on our experiences we would have hoped that the US would have continued that co-operation.”

Soini said that he believed the council would be weaker without the US, but took solace from the fact that the US said it was still committed to advancing human rights in international arenas.

US federal facilities currently hold in excess of 11,000 children who have been separated from their parents, who are suspected of immigration offences.

NOTE: YLE sticks in that last portion as a dig. Never once did they mention the same during the Obama years.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.

“I think that we should correct the vocabulary that we use, and call a spade a spade. It is all about Jihad, the Islamic effort to spread Islam globally”:

Terrorist attack – should be called Military Jihad.

Incitement – Media Jihad.

Al-Jazeera – Media Jihad Channel.

Imposing Sharia law – Judicial Jihad or Legislative Jihad.

Boycotting Israel (BDS) – Economic Jihad.

Emigration to EU and US – Emigration Jihad / Hijra Jihad.

Building mosques, Islamic education institutions – Cultural Jihad.

Halal food – Dietary Jihad.

Hijab or Niqab – Clothing Jihad.

Activity of MSA – Academic Jihad.

Activity of CAIR – Political Jihad / Public Jihad.

Collecting money for Islamic “charities” – Financial Jihad.

Political correctness – Submission to Jihad.

J Street, Peace Now, JVP and their likes – Jewish Useful Idiots who Serve Jihad.

Iran deal – Western Support for Nuclear Jihad.
