Hugh Fitzgerald: The European Commission and the Latest “Rights Of Man”

May 8, 2016 5:06 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

viktor-orban-hungary

“In its latest bid to tackle the biggest migration crisis since World War II, the European Commission proposed making countries pay a ‘solidarity contribution’ of 250,000 ($290,000) euros per refugee they decline to take.”—from a May 4 news report

This extraordinary news shows how far the European Union, the Party of Good, the Party of European Duty Toward Muslims — the “duty” being that of helping ameliorate the conditions of Muslims by taking into Europe ever-greater numbers of these “refugees” – is prepared to go, in squeezing economically those member states of the European Union that are not willing to accept as many Muslim migrants as the European Commission, in its wisdom, has determined they should take in.

It is not coincidental that those countries most reluctant to accept the European Commission’s diktat are in Eastern Europe. They received their political freedom comparatively recently, having been held captive as members of the Soviet bloc, and are grateful for what they thought would be freedom from the kind of bullying they endured from the Soviet Union. They assumed that they were rejoining Europe; instead they find they have joined quite a different thing, the European Union, an officious multinational meddler and bully. Given their own history, these Eastern Europeans are keenly sensitive to assaults on their freedom by E.U bureaucrats who, in their nonstop display of political correctness, seek to force Eastern Europe to take in ever more migrants, just as the “enlightened” states of Western Europe have had to do. The Poles, the Czechs, the Hungarians, however, have not yet succumbed to these pressures; they do not think that Europe owes Muslim migrants anything.

In a recent interview in a German news weekly, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban complained that “the language of the European elite [pressuring states to take in more Muslims] is ideological and dogmatic.” Orban dared to state the kind of home truths that were once so obvious, and now are so scandalous: he said that Islam is “the rulebook of another world” that “spiritually has never been part of Europe – it came to us.” Czech President Milos Zeman has addressed anti-Islam rallies and recently declared that it’s practically impossible to integrate Muslims into Western Europe.” He has also denounced the use of such scare-words as “Islamophobe” and “racist” to describe those opposed, like him, to more Muslim immigration.

As for Poland, last November, 170,000 Poles held an anti-Islam rally in Warsaw, described as the “largest demonstration in Polish history.” The participants were particularly incensed by the European Union’s demands “that Poland ‘absorb’ Muslims who have flooded into Germany over the past few months.”

While the European Commission has so far failed to convince the countries of eastern Europe that they have a “duty to Muslims” that can only be discharged by welcoming them as migrants, it has been more successful, invoking the “Rights-of-Man,” in Western Europe.

The original “Declaration of the Rights of Man” was articulated in the period of the French Revolution, and formally drawn up in August 1789 by the National Constituent Assembly of Revolutionary France. Representative government was endorsed and the divine right of kings dismissed, the legal equality of all citizens was proclaimed, and the rights of all to “liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression” declared. The freedom of speech and of the press were guaranteed. The “Rights of Man,” like the American Bill of Rights, was in the main an attempt to limit the power of the state against the individual. But in the last half-century, the “Rights of Man” has become a phrase, increasingly emptied of its original content, invoked for other purposes and now used as an instrument of oppression by the European Union against both states and their peoples, in a determined effort to transform Europe.

In French journalist Ivan Rioufol’s latest column, he quotes approvingly Professor Jean-Louis Harouel’s pithy description of how “the Rights of Man” have been re-interpreted:

“Les droits de l’homme, inventés par l’Occident pour protéger ses citoyens contre les risques d’arbitraire du pouvoir, sont devenus depuis un demi-siècle une religion séculière suicidaire pour les Occidentaux.”

“The Rights of Man, invented by the West to protect its citizens against the risks of arbitrary power, have become over the past half-century a secular and even suicidal religion for Western man.”

This new version of the “Rights-of-Man” does not come from representatives of “the People” in a National Assembly in Paris, but from bureaucrats in Brussels; it is a top-down prescription based on a faith that is not to be questioned. It’s the “religion” of People-Are-The-Same-The-Whole-World-Over, of – in its extreme form — “all people have a right to move wherever they can” and “people should live wherever they want.” It’s connected to the contempt for oneself and for one’s own country from which Western elites now masochistically suffer (Prof. Harouel: “Le programme de la haine de soi et de son pays est aujourd’hui devenu la pensée officielle, imposée par le politiquement correct de la religion des droits de l’homme”; englished thus: “The program of hatred of oneself and of one’s own country has become the official line, imposed by the political correctness of the religion of the Rights-of-Man”). Of course, the Muslim migrants are convinced of just the opposite; they are, according to the Qur’an, the “best of people” (3:110). And they don’t need anyone to tell them that they have the right to move somewhere; the world, by rights, belongs to them, even if some parts – for now — are still controlled by non-Muslims.

This updated “Rights-of-Man,” undeclared by any legislative body but shared by so many in Europe’s political and media elites, does not guarantee the freedom of speech but only the freedom of speech so long as Muslims are not offended (see Charlie Hebdo, see Garland, Texas). This updated “Rights-of-Man” no longer guarantees freedom from arbitrary power, but justifies the exercise of arbitrary power by the European Union, in forcing its members to take in large numbers of immigrants from a world that is completely foreign and hostile, and who, by and large, refuse to assimilate.

The simple desire of people to preserve the laws and customs of their own country, to minimize the level of physical insecurity which they must daily endure, to decide for themselves whom they wish to admit and whom to keep out, the understandable need, that is, to remain masters in their own homes, all this, once taken for granted, is now stigmatized as “right-wing nationalism,” which then becomes “xenophobia,” which then becomes “far-right racism,” and with that, all possibility of discussion is shut down. A refusal to consider, much less publicly discuss, the future consequences of this huge migration prevails among those European leaders – see Merkel, see the Pope — most determined to put into effect these metamorphosing “Rights of Man.”

If a referendum were held today in Europe on Muslim immigration, we all know what the result would be at the ballot box, and we also know it would have no effect on the E.U.’s “Rights-Of-Man” juggernaut. These rights that originally limited the power of the European states against their own peoples are now invoked by a supra-national body, the European Commission, to deprive those same states, not when they oppose, but when they reflect the will of their own peoples, of the power to decide their own immigration policies.

The fine of nearly $300,000, imposed by the European Commission for each Muslim migrant who is rejected by a country after having been deemed suitable for entry by the E.C., constitutes the dizzy culmination of a policy conceived by European elites, with their twisted version of the “Rights of Man.” If that policy succeeds, it will lead inexorably to the Islamization, through demography, of large parts of Europe, sacrificed on the altar of this new “suicidal” (“suicidaire”) religion.

And with a larger and larger share of Europe’s population consisting of Muslims, and of non-Muslims willing — out of ignorance, out of fear, out of despair — to be their collaborators, the next iteration of the “Rights of Man” in Europe will be considerably older than the previous one, and represent even more of a change. And it already has a name. It’s called the Sharia.

    If there is any politician today who is speaking with Churchillian clarity, it is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. It is beyond dispute that Muslims are inassimilable. Muslims are planning with unshakable conviction and determination to assimilate the West and see the childlike absurdity of the West all too clearly. Muslim strategists patiently and cynically exploit our philosophical weakness and divisions. The pattern will continue until a Muslim party can openly move in a frontal assault to the target of imposing discriminatory Sharia. Once corrosive Sharia is in place, daily life will become so fearful and paranoid that Western productivity will cease due to constant fear and uncertainty. Western prosperity will collapse and the anaconda of Islam will gradually complete the job of squeezing the life out of the victim and turning Western countries into carbon copies of Pakistan and Afghastlistan.

          Dear old Jack Chick. I love him for reminding us that we are condemned sinners who need Jesus Christ–the way, truth, and life. Certainly he never had the slightest illusions about Islam (along with all other Evangelicals, whether Dispensationalist, Covenantal, Confessional Lutheran, or whatnot).

          Yet he is steeped in Dispensationalist vagaries, historical mistakes, and a quickness to believe the testimony of men. Someone could do a lot better.

    &The 250,000 fine is not only to be applied to Eastern Europe, also to other countries like Spain and Portugal. Spain has been many years dealing with boat people arriving at its shores just like Italy, and also trying to break into its two African encclaves, Cueta and Melilla. Austria is also intent on building a fence, whether Merkel likes it or not. These countries should come together and hold referendums on the same day in their ocuntries and give Merkel & Co a good lesson in true democracy and show what any sane person thinks. Enough is enough. This is the limit. Hungary and Poland knwo their history and how much they had to fight against Islam in past centuries. Poland already saved Europe once on the 11/12 of Septemerbof 1683 at the gates of Vienna.

      The far left parties that support the government, and even the “center-right” President want more and more “refugees”.

    Wahhabism is only capable of producing dictatorship, never democracy. It is predicated on the idea that only one party is ‘the party of God’. Thus, any competing political party is a party of heretics that must be fought unto extinction or extermination, whichever comes first. Only the ‘party of God’ will have the right to rule. Wahhabism is totally incompatible with democracy. Most Muslims are Wahhabists, even if they are unaware of their presuppositions.

    No Wahhabists should be brought into the West. They are inherently supremacist and misogynistic and are not capable of assimilating into a modern society based on the universal human rights of the UNDHR.

    Wahhabist should only live in recreations of Mohammed’s 7th century nightmare and when they choose to live there, we should not pity them for their choice. It is not our fault if Muslims choose a dysfunctional model. However, when they choose that model, we should quarantine this model which is custom-designed to corrode the human rights and civil liberties of women and non-Muslims.

    • Jay Boo says

      May 9, 2016 at 11:31 am

      At first glance, most of your comment seems to imply that Wahhabism is an aberration.

      Yet, your sentence of
      “Most Muslims are Wahhabists, even if they are unaware of their presuppositions. ” is great point.
      Unfortunately it is too little too late.

    All Europe has an History of confrontation with Islam, But, while in western Europe History is fading away, the eastern europeans have good reasons to remember. Their confrontation happened not long ago. Due to their geographical situation, they always lived crashe between empires: the otoman, the russian and the austrian. They had to fight an resiste in order to exist. The EU bureaucrats don’t know what this is. Eastern Europe is finding that, after being ruled by Moscow, they are now ruled by Brussels. That is why I belied EU is doomed. Before it was the european economic community, a group a free nations that joined efforts to achieve a continent of peace, freedom and properity. Since it became the european union, all that vanished. Now, Germany rules and former maoist simpathizers have their jobs in Brussels… History doesn’t end, it will not stop, freedom will always be the beacon of european peoples, so I know the EU will not last. Not with these stupid leaders.

    Do that. The countries they want to press into taking “refugees” are the countries “refugees” don’t want to go into. And propose more measures along the same line. See how long until the smaller countries gather together, have a meeting and say “you know what Germany, France, UK, Sweden? Enjoy your EU, we’re going to leave it all to you and make a different organization for us”.

    How will the EU ensure that the “refugees” won’t make a beeline to Germany and Sweden the moment they set foot on Estonia, Bulgaria or Portugal? Are they planning to keep them in camps or something? Because, historically, people forced into camps don’t get a happy ending.

    The EU wants to talk about “Rights of Man? Fine, let’s start with the freedom they’re denying the “refugees” – the freedom to freely move and be in charge of their own destiny. No, when it comes to morals or human rights, the EU has no footing to argue with anyone or the high ground to preach from. Talking about human rights while trying to snuff them out? Don’t go there. You’ll lose soundly.

    This will NOT stop. Our Governments DO NOT CARE ABOUT US, they have their own Crazy Political Agendas.

    The E.U. DOES NOT represent Europe or the European People. The United Nations is completely islamisised, continually condemning Israel whilst turning a Blind Eye to ALL THE ATROCITIES IN THE NAME OF islam.

    It took us 465 years to respond to islam last time, when at which point over 70% of Christianity had been wiped out by islam. islam is SLAUGHTERING Christians across the world and nobody with any Authority or Persuasion is saying anything about it.

    Our Pope is NOT our Pope, he has more in common with islam than Christianity. He only ever speaks out in defense of islam and never in Defense of Christians who will soon be extinct in the Holy Lands.

    We cannot wait 465 years to respond, infact, the way things are going, I would say there within a Decade there will not be a Europe Left.

    The EU is the greatest globalist experiment in world history. Given that it’s voluntary instead of empire by force, it is an empire by ideology, an empire by bureaucracy. Bureaucrats always bring out the worst in man because they are in the business of diktat, middlemen who carry a cost with the charges they put on societal transactions, they are always socialists. And socialists are always globalists.

    This is a perfect petri dish in which Moslems can flourish. In the first stage they get paid for being Moslems, in the final phase they take over the host society by the bureaucratic diktate that got them there in the first place. The perjorative EUrabia is a well spoken name for the decline and fall of Europe.

      “Prime Ministers must stop listening so much to their voters and instead act as “full time Europeans”, according to Jean-Claude Juncker… the president of the European Commission ridiculed British leaders for acting on “national reflexes”…“too many politicians are listening exclusively to their national opinion. And if you are listening to your national opinion you are not developing what should be a common European sense and a feeling of the need to put together efforts. We have too many part-time Europeans.”

      Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President of the European Commission:
      “We have seen the homes of asylum seekers set on fire. And we have heard political leaders declare that their countries would not accept refugees if they were Muslim. Anti-Muslims [sic] incidents are multiplying across Europe. We’re seeing a huge spike of attacks. Verbal insinuations, closed-mindedness, prejudice, discrimination. The rise of islamophobia is the one of the biggest challenges in Europe. It is a challenge to our vital values, to the core of who we are. Never has our societies’ capacity for openness, for tolerance, for inclusion been more tested than it is today. Diversity is now in some parts of Europe seen as a threat. Diversity comes with challenges. But diversity is humanity’s destiny.”

      Vera Jourova, EU’s Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality:
      “If freedom of expression is one of the building blocks of a democratic society, hate speech on the other hand, is a blatant violation of that freedom. It must be severely punished. As some of you noted, over the past few weeks, we have witnessed a lot of solidarity towards refugees. But we have seen a surge of xenophobic hate speech. Some of you advocated enrolling the help of online intermediaries such as Google or Facebook to take down hate speech from the web. Other participants rather underlined promoting the use of counter-narratives. You also highlighted the need for clearer procedures to prosecute those who spread hate speech online.”

      The EU’s “Rights of Man” fiat. For they know “humanity’s destiny”.

      Follow Viktor Orban instead: “We shall not import to Hungary crime, terrorism, homophobia and synagogue-burning anti-Semitism. There shall be no urban districts beyond the reach of the law, there shall be no mass disorder. No immigrant riots here, and there shall be no gangs hunting down our women and daughters. We shall not allow others to tell us whom we can let into our home and country, whom we will live alongside, and with whom we will share our country. Mass migration is a slow stream of water persistently eroding the shores. It is masquerading as a humanitarian cause, but its true nature is the occupation of territory. And what is gaining territory for them is losing territory for us. The main danger to Europe’s future does not come from those who want to come here, but from Brussels’ fanatical internationalism.”

    How much did a few terrorists cost in the Paris Massacre? Giving each life lost a lost future economic value of $1.5 Million and adding the costs of cleanup, hospitals, police, etc, the cost must be beyond $300 Million. Let’s say 30 terrorists were involved, some still unknown. The cost per terrorist would then be $10 Million to society.

    If there is only 1 terrorist in 34 migrants, the cost to society could easily exceed the EU $300,000 per refused migrant fine.

    Anyway, Germany, the only real force in the EU, could never force Hungary to commit ethnic suicide. It could, however cause hungary to move closer to Russia.

    I knew when I read years ago that the EU actually determined how long or short a banana could be before a merchant could sell it, and would be fined if not the right length and sold it, that an Orwellian organization was in the making. Yep, that “banana story” pretty much told me all I had to know.

    Since then, whatever the EU has done which is bullying or stupid, and it has done a lot of both, really doesn’t come as a surprise to me. There is no depth to which the EU is incapable of sinking, as evidenced here by this article by Fitzgerald. The EU needs to be abolished, that is if Western Europe is to continue to survive as Western Europe. Not all that much time left.

      Especially, since I am sure, there is probably a European greenhouse growing a kind of small banana whose fruits are roughly the length of a big man’s finger (although considerably thicker) that are popular in Thailand and other SE Asian countries. My guess is that some Eurocrat, who never saw anything other than an extremely overpriced cavendish banana, probably thought he was protecting consumer against being cheated. Or, perhaps, these clowns wish to discourage axperiment and innovation by gardeners and farmers?

        Who was the one who had their airforce and navy violating the sovereign space of other nations, North to South, East to West? Who is the one paying trolls to spread his propaganda in online forums? Which, BTW, gave us the “Proofster” meme.

        Highly imaginative re-write of history… You really put some effort into it, and are no doubt proud of yourself. But only a true moron would feel pride over such drivel.

        Jewdog who is the one being confrontational.”

        Rubbish. He is merely responding to illegal acts committed by putins russia.

        ” All Putin did was reinforce natural truth, he does not want foreign superpowers installing themselves next to Russia. And especially not putting Rockets next to Russia.”

        Your weird application of the phrase ‘natural truth’, which does not apply to a situation and un-natural and dishonest as this, is amusing. Pity you didn’t intend it to be such. Russia is next door to a foreign superpower….. ever hear of China? And they are rumored to have a rather large army, airforce, and ‘Rockets’. Barn door. Horse.

        “The precedent for this was made when a certain
        Mr. JFK decided to tell a Mr. Kruschev not to put Nukes on Cuba or else. After the coup Putin needed to protect Russias interests by taking the Krim because the Russian black sea fleet was stationed there. Nobody needs to like what was done but fact is it was logicall and necessary.’

        Your version of history is amusing, no doubt soviet in origin, after Kruschev was out of office…. Kennedy was useless in dealing with K. The missiles were pulled out not due to american pressure, but due to K. recognizing that the crazed lunatics who had turned Cuba into a gulag, would actually use them.

    Let the European Union to solve their problems! When they first formed that UNION, it was to defeat the US Dollars by creating their very own Currency! Let them eat their own FRUITS!

    The Moral responsibility is what is needed within this current world situation! The Islamic Community must taking up their responsibilities to curb the ways of IISIS! Have not seen any of them takes up the Moral obligation! It make the Religion of Islam looks like a religion that is created by Satan~ all full of hatred and violence, Sexual amoralities! The lack of God within their souls are all self evident. If Allah and God are the Same, then, we would say that Allah is no God, because, The Commandments from Our God forbids the practice of those Mortal Sins!

    The EU needs to be disbanded and every country stand for itself. The misconception that people of different cultures can share open borders is going to be the death of Europe. If Islam were not an issue, it would work.

      Nah, the EU needs to be revamped and cleaned up. If history proved anything is that a united Europe can stand (Navas de Tolosa, Vienna, Lepanto, Vienna again, etc.). If each country is left to fend for itself they’ll end up being picked one by one.

        The European Union should be abolished. They are picking off each country one by one and establishing the long held Muslim dream of a world-wide Caliphate. Wake up England. Kick them out.

          The caliphate will be a renewed Ottoman Empire and is the Beast of Daniel and Revelation. When this is understood, all events of these times become much clearer and the dialogue of the media and government “experts” is revealed as drivel.

          May 9, 2016 at 6:00 pm

          I think we’re in agreement regarding the EU as it is today, Carolyne. But I believe that the best course of action regarding this invasion, as well as the dark clouds gathering East, is an union among the European nations. The Mediterranean countries have shown they can’t patrol their sea borders by themselves. And the “Syrian” “refugees” aren’t sticking there, they’re just passing by while moving North. If each country were to go its own way, do you think that nations like Greece or Italy would spend money and material they don’t have patrolling their maritime borders or would simply allow the “migrants” to cross through their lands ASAP? I’m not saying that the Germans, British, French, Norwegian or Swedes should throw money at the Greeks or Italians, but they should consider what is cheaper for them in the long run: to have their military forces lend a hand in defending the maritime borders of their fellow European nations or board up their own borders to stop the mass influx of “Syrian” “refugees”/”migrants”, while handling the internal problems that will be inevitably caused by the million or so already there?

          Of course, such an endeavour requires policies based on seeing things as they are, not based on misguided notions of “multiculturalism”, “diversity” or “human rights” (where are the “human rights” of the people attacked, for example, in Cologne?). Meaning that the European Union as it is must end. As Benjamin Frankly said, “we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately”.

    This just might be, stress on the might, the final straw from the collection of lunatics that are running the EU, and ruining Europe. Sadly, if it does provoke the result it deserves, it will be very, very bloody.

    There is only one sane and still reasonable solution to Islam. All Muslim migration must be stopped and borders secured. Every Islamic nation must have all foreign aid cut off and sanctions established. Every war migrant must be housed on a piece of his own secured land or in a host Islamic country. Every Muslim migrant turned back, every illegal immigrant deported, every no-go zone militarily overtaken and all inside deported, every Sharia supporter deported and all Sharia marches banned, all Sharia law banned, and laws instituted to forever ban any religious legal system from being implimented in western countries, plus Oaths of Allegiance established and signed by all established Muslim immigrants with terms of assimilation and employment tied to receipt of benefits that if not met will result in deportation, and any unwilling to sign, deported. Islam is in all likelyhood not reformable because any attempt made is to deny Mohammed’s revelations which then collapses all of Islam. Mohammed declared Islam as the final word, abrogated peaceful Islam with the command to establish a world Sharia caliphate by the sword through terror and murder of unbelievers; and he secured that command with death for blasphemy and apostacy. Tell me what hope there is for any peaceful-type co-existence with this evil religion whose god commands its followers to never assimilate with non-believers, to lie to them at will and, to spread the faith, fight and kill all who won’t believe?! Islam is truly EVIL – even evil unto its own! Islam’s followers present as a dichotomy, some declaring its absolute peaceful nature while others proudly conduct constant acts of terror. The world continues to suffer grievously in its attempts to deal with its followers, and the victims and aftermath of this schizophrenic behavior. Islam must be controlled and contained to allow its followers time to sort out its schizophrenia while preventing any further actions causing chaos, terror, suffering, and death. Can or will Islam ever reform? Let Muslims work that out in its confinement with itself. Islam’s writings are clear: Islam is a totalitarian system of supremism, mysogeny, barbarism, terror, and death cloaked as a religion, and commanded to dominate the world. There are a seemingly significant number of Muslims who believe otherwise in a peaceful Islamic doctrine, but those seem to be voices in the west and who knows if they can turn a tide that will encompass reform. The people of the west should not be made to suffer any of Islam until it decides how it wants to relate with the world. We all must clearly understand two things, one is that Islam can only move to dominate once they’ve obtained permission: by force of the sword and subsequent surrender, or today, by insane voluntary capitulation as Merkel did; and secondly, that Islam’s tenets and potential for becoming a calamitous force are far worse than the worst evil this world has so far fought – its benign-by-comparison cousin, Naziism. What makes this true is Islam’s war against all unbelievers, its barbaric Sharia plus most importantly, its access to today’s nuclear and biological arms that Obama and Putin have both made possible. If Islam cannot reform or refuses to give up its so far unrelenting course of world conquest, there is no other sane solution, but to deal with it as we did Naziism. Time is very crucial in dealing with is in a manner where we can still manage to have control over this war that Islam is engaging with us with the assistance of its liberal sympathizers and enablers everywhere. There is still a window where we can manipulate things to the favor of western freedom and liberty, but that window will close unless we can muster a force to put in place what I propose above. As we consider all this we should never forget that we still have the law of the land behind us and government still works for the people. Polish people made that clear with 17,000 marching to protect their rights and land. Hungary took a stand. All is far from hopeless and is not lost until we say it is. Our freedom and liberty will not protect itself. That is a big lesson that seems forgotten.

    How about all E.U. countries who are feed up with these savages just spend that cash on fencing, razor wire, tear gas and other implement of DEFENSE?
    Plus putting a lot more Cops on the streets in places infested with savages not yet deported? Before their savage infested No-Go zones enlarge?
    Seems like a more SANE way to spend all that money.
