Silencing is my policy - lieing is my protocol

Åke Tyvi | 24.10.2003 21:11 | Analysis | World

There are no Human Rights in a Law State.

SILENCING IS MY POLICY - LIEING IS MY PROTOCOL


Finland - We must ask from ourselves 'who declared these rights in the first place' when Human Rights violations are not handled and related cases are under censorship or forgotten. When lawyers are those committing crimes against their own law a Law State has become a only rude joke.

Like in any profession we usually find two kind of experts - those who think they know, and those who really know and do. Among Finnish layers we have only one kind of people; those who only think they know, because they think having read few law books brings them to the top of the world. I just wish they were not many Jewish people among these ignorant peasants, since Jewish people so often are seen as lawyers, doctors and as genius generally speaking.

Every scientist do know, that being able to read and memorize, do not automatically mean you would be genius in physics and math. And usually lawyers are not, but they seem to have too much ego for some reason.

When people start silencing citizens through false judgments, it is time to say 'goodbye Finnish decision makers and Law State disguise to communism', and specially say goodbye to our lawyers and policemen.

These people have made their fortune by dishonest ways, and if they get killed by doing so, there is no place to file a complaint.

Human Rights in Finland vs No Rights in UK

25.10.2003 01:05

I didn't really understand the point of your post - your English is a bit confusing although much better than my Finnish.

A couple of points though:

Did I misunderstand, or are you saying that Jews are automatically considered to be better professionals (doctors lawyers) etc because of stereotyping? You wish there were less Jews for this reason? I'd be interested to see how this could be dressed up as anti-zionism.

It's also a bit rich moaning about human rights in Finland on the UK Indymedia, when compared to the UK the Finns seem much better provided for in that respect.

Examples from the Finnish constitution ( http://www.om.fi/constitution/3340.htm)

Chapter 2 - Basic rights and liberties

Section 6 - Equality

Everyone is equal before the law.

No one shall, without an acceptable reason, be treated differently from other persons on the ground of sex, age, origin, language, religion, conviction, opinion, health, disability or other reason that concerns his or her person.

This is not the case in the UK. In the UK, legislation has been passed that actively ensures discrimination on the grounds of language, religion and ethnic origin. Under the
The Race Relations Act 1976, for example, it is legally acceptable for a company to deny a job to an applicant based on their skin colour.

Section 7 - The right to life, personal liberty and integrity

Everyone has the right to life, personal liberty, integrity and security.

No one shall be sentenced to death, tortured or otherwise treated in a manner violating human dignity.

This is not the case in the UK. The death penalty still exists for two crimes: high treason and piracy, although no one is ever likely to be charged with these. Treason: either exhorting Arabs to attack British troops and urging the same troops to mutiny (Galloway) or calling for the slaughter of all kuffar Britons (Abu Hamza) isn't considered high treason, or the government don't have the balls to try. But the fact remains the government could have tried to execute both, because the death penalty still exists in law.

Section 9 - Freedom of movement

Finnish citizens shall not be prevented from entering Finland or deported or extradited or transferred from Finland to another country against their will.

The right of foreigners to enter Finland and to remain in the country is regulated by an Act. A foreigner shall not be deported, extradited or returned to another country, if in consequence he or she is in danger of a death sentence, torture or other treatment violating human dignity.

This underlines my point. The UK government has a free hand to deport or extradite whomever they please, whether or not their 'human dignity' may be violated. They may have to keep up appearances and designate some countries as 'safe' or 'not safe' - Afghanistan is 'safe', apparently. So back you go.

Section 10 - The right to privacy

Everyone's private life, honour and the sanctity of the home are guaranteed.
The secrecy of correspondence, telephony and other confidential communications is inviolable.

This is starting to piss me off now.
In the UK: GCHQ are free to monitor whatever communications they wish. Customs and Excise can force entry to your home whenever they wish, without a warrant and without your permission. Customs and Excise can destroy or confiscate your property, without recourse to law and they are not required to give you a hearing before they do. Come back from France with one bottle of Claret too many and they WILL crush your vehicle.

Section 12 - Freedom of expression and right of access to information

Everyone has the freedom of expression. Freedom of expression entails the right to express, disseminate and receive information, opinions and other communications without prior prevention by anyone.

Again: UK - no guarantee of freedom of speech or expression in UK law, and EU law on this matter is unlikely to be consistently enforced by the courts.

Section 13 - Freedom of assembly and freedom of association

Everyone has the right to arrange meetings and demonstrations without a permit, as well as the right to participate in them.

Criminal Justice Bill, Terrorism Act 2000 etc... needless to say, there is no right in the UK to arrange meetings or demonstrations.

+*+

I could go on forever. Things may not be perfect in Finland, but you're still much better off than we are in the UK.
