Amnesty, Indeed

I know that we are no longer supposed to have anything to do with Amnesty International since it declared itself Abortion International instead.

But at the refreshments after Mass this morning, there were its Christmas cards, and the details of person to whom we might like to send them. Of course, for the reason stated, I did not do so. But I wished that I could have done. Because those details were very well worth reading.

One, who appeared to be an Islamist, was in our dear ally, Egypt. A second was in our dear ally, Turkmenistan. A third was in our very dear ally, Moldova, for the sake of which we are gearing up to go to war over Transnistria. And the fourth was in our very dear ally, Azerbaijan, for the sake of which Islamic state we are gearing up to go to war in order to keep within her a section of the first entire people ever to become Christian.

Like the people of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the people of Transnistria and Nagorno-Karabakh do not wish to follow the states to which they were arrogated by Stalin down the single road of European federalism, American military-industrial hegemony, globalisation, and Islamisation. So we are preparing to make then. Including by force of arms. And even if that brought nuclear war against Russia. Which it would.

Egypt, Turkmenistan, Moldova, Azerbaijan: these are the countries that attract the attention of Amnesty International when it is still doing what it was set up out of the Catholic Church to do. These, our partners in peace, freedom and emerging democracy. Like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, paymasters of the outgoing Mister President Bush and of the incoming Madam Secretary Clinton.

Well, where would you have instead? Iran? Syria? Russia?

Perish the thought.

Of course.
