What type of
person would be against Human Rights? Well, if we take a look at modern history
we can see that dictators like Stalin, Mao Tse-tung, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol
Pot, Idi Amin, Tito, Ceauşescu, Milosevic and Saddam Hussein all was against
Human Rights. Today we can also add David Cameron to the list when he suggest
that UK should abolish the Human Rights Act.*/** Shame on you David Cameron!
When you look at
the world in terms of us and them, the them
group often tends to be looked at as inferior to the more superior group, us. All the dictators above had this
type of ‘us and them’ thinking and simply just imprisoned or killed them. For such a leader the absence of
Human Rights is very practical. It leaves the floor open to get rid of the
opposition. The them-group in Cameron’s
case is people living on benefits, in other words - the poor.
We need the Human Rights Act to prevent political
leaders to prosecute, imprison or exterminate what they perceive as unwanted
sections of the society.
In propaganda
during the period leading up to persecution or total genocide of a group, the
messages are full with stereotypical generalisations of what they are. We can call this behaviour otherisation.
The otherisation propaganda describes the group
others as sub-human by using words as
vermin, dirty, evil and totally dehumanise and demonising the group others.
This was very
clear in for example Rwanda, “...genocide resulted from the conscious choice of the elite to promote
hatred and fear to keep itself in power. This small, privileged group first set
the majority against the minority to counter a growing political opposition
within Rwanda...”*** Then the genocide commenced!
David Cameron is
increasingly using otherisation arguments in his political statements. He says
things like:
“...those who are
on the wrong side of the British Public...”
“...something for
nothing culture...”
“...These people,
hard working, decent, patriotic people are who the Conservative Party has
always been for. We are on the side of those who want to work hard and get on
in life...”
Basically, whenever
he opens his mouth he mention something about ‘us hardworking people who wants
to move on’ (the superior people) and insinuate then that the non-working
people are inferior (not hard working or wanting to move on, the unemployed choose
to not work).
This divide and
rule propaganda is a prelude to the prosecution period that might be followed
by an extermination process. Unless someone stops him and the Conservative
Party before it comes to that.
Sadly , we have
now reached the prosecution period in Cameron’s master scheme when the new benefit
legislation came into effect yesterday and others
(people on benefits) has to pay council tax and bedroom tax leaving people with
as little as £5 per week to buy food and clothes for. The new rules punish
people for being poor as if poverty is self-inflicted. Cameron and the party have
the audacity to suggest that the new benefit system is fairer! Fair to who?
According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies the poorest 10% lose around £127
and the richest 10% gain around £1,265. Shame on you Cameron!
Another worrying part
of Cameron’s scheme is the changes to NHS where GPs take charge of a local
budget. This obviously mean that if you live in a poor area there are less
access to healthcare because more people have to share the local pot. Whilst in
rich areas where many have private healthcare and better health in general
there is more money in the pot. Cameron and his friends call this fair. Shame
on you!
It is even more
shame on Cameron when the Fiscal Watchdog says the cuts reduced economical
growth.**** In other words, Cameron’s austerity cuts are not good for the
country. The problem for the economy is not the poor people, it is the rich
people that are too greedy and that greed has to stop!
Where is the opposition in all this?
Cameron is allowed to freely express his propaganda against the others without any protest from society.
I say as Martin Luther King, Jr. did, “He who
passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate
it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating
with it.”
Hitler would not have
got his power if the German people had protested against him before he was in
power. Do your bit for the country and vote Cameron and the Conservatives out of
Government in the next election!
