The unfree world

The fight for free speech and against state censorship is really the central issue of the fight for human freedom. The Internet is the latest in a long line of technologies that is threatening to all philosophies that are terrified of freedom of speech - such as Islamic fundamentalism and communism.

I could link forever to information that the thugs and bullies of this world want to prevent people from reading. Here are just a few examples. Remember that vast amounts of this information is banned or suppressed in the old media in its country, but available freely in the Internet, which shows how threatening the Internet is. In bold I link to a human rights report on the country.

These states are all listed as "Not Free" by Freedom House, except for the ones marked at the end.

• Political freedom in the world

  
  

• The 10 worst countries in the world, Newsweek, July 9, 2001 (before the liberation of no.2, Afghanistan, and no.10, Iraq - both liberated by America).
  • summary
  • The no.1 Worst Country in the World - North Korea.

  
  

• Parade runs a regular list of The 10 Worst Dictators in the World
  • 2006 list
    • The no.1 worst dictator in the world - Omar al-Bashir of Sudan.
    • No.2 - Kim Jong-il of North Korea.
    • No.6 - Hu Jintao of China.
    • Sadly, America is actually an ally of no.7 on the list, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. We'll know the War on Terror is in the endgame when the Saudis are deposed too.

Communist states

• China (separate page)

• Cuba (separate page)

Russia (ex-communist but still unfree)

• Russia
• The Soviet democide

• After a brief, fragile experiment with democracy in the 1990s, Freedom House now lists Russia as a dictatorship again.
• Putin was the man who ended democracy in Russia and returned it to its natural autocratic and imperial rule.

• Freedom of the press in Russia was mostly ended under Putin.
  • List of journalists killed in Russia
  • The assassination of Anna Politkovskaya
  • The assassination of Alexander Litvinenko

• 2008 Russia-Georgia war - Imperial Russia back to attacking its neighbours again.
  • Charles Krauthammer suggests how the West should respond to this new, autocratic and aggressive Russia.
  • There will not be a new Cold War (mainly because the new Russia has no revolutionary ideology it wants to spread everywhere). But it should be made clear that Putin's changes place Russia outside of the civilized countries.

• There are many actions that could be considered:
  1. Expand NATO to Georgia and Ukraine.
  2. Restrict military sales to Russia.
  3. Restrict technology sales to Russia.
  4. Restrict Russian access to the Internet.
  5. Expel Russia from the G-8.
  6. Expel Russia from the G-20 (Although other tyrannies are members.)
  7. Expel Russia from the OSCE. (Although other tyrannies are members.)
  8. Stop Russian entry to the World Trade Organization. (Although other tyrannies are members.)
  9. Russia should of course not have a UN security council seat either. (But neither should China.)

Zimbabwe

• Opposition information
• Gay rights in Zimbabwe

• The unelected black racist dictator Robert Mugabe (and here)
• The Matabeleland genocide
• "Land reform" in Zimbabwe (and here)
• "Operation Drive Out Trash"
• "Operation Maguta"

• Zimbabwe, the land of dying children, R.W. Johnson, The Sunday Times, 7th Jan 2007 - estimates that Mugabe has killed 2-3 million people.
• Mugabe is their darling - Aidan Hartley criticises Africa's black upper middle class for defending Mugabe. What is it that makes us think that people outside the West are "wiser" than us? The sad truth is that people are stupid all over the globe.

Rwanda

• Rwanda
• The 1994 genocide by the Hutus (and here)
• War crimes and genocide

• America, under Bill Clinton, did nothing. Why? Because of Somalia.
  • Clinton
  • Madeline Albright
  • Clinton, Clarke and Rwanda: Ten Years On by Mark Steyn, The Irish Times, April 5th 2004 - on the failure of Clinton and Richard Clarke to stop - to even try to stop - the Rwanda genocide in 1994. "Bill Clinton knew about Rwanda and chose to do nothing. Why was this? Well, Somalia, of course."

• The UN, of course, did nothing. Why? Well, that's what they always do. Kofi Annan saw a genocide of black Africans happen on his watch (as head of UN peacekeeping forces), and did nothing. And a genocide of black Africans is happening again in Sudan. And again, Kofi Annan and the UN are doing nothing.
  • Boutros Boutros-Ghali
  • Kofi Annan

• France can always be counted on to take the side of evil in foreign policy. No different in this case. France actively supported the genocidal Hutu government.
  • Mitterand

• Treat Africans like adults:
  • Despite the shameful inaction of the US, the UN and France, one must of course never forget where the blame for the genocide lies. The blame for the genocide lies with the Hutus.

• What we need - The Genocide Prevention Corps

Others

• Congo, Democratic Republic of (Kinshasa)

• Togo

• Cameroon

• Swaziland

• Ivory Coast

• Eritrea

• Equatorial Guinea
  • Simon Mann is accused of planning a coup against the regime of Equatorial Guinea. As if there's anything wrong with that.

Other unfree states

• Burma (Myanmar)
  • Burma is the trendy unfree state to focus on for leftists. For politically-correct reasons, they don't like to criticise Muslims, communists or black Africans. So Burma is almost all that is left. Well I agree with the left that the Burmese regime should fall, of course. But they really ought to also take a look at some of the other unfree regimes of the world.
  • Human rights
  • Opposition information
  • Pro-democracy activists
  • 1988 pro-democracy protests
  • Depayin massacre, 2003
  • 2007 pro-democracy protests

• Haiti

• Bhutan

One could go on forever with links to information that is banned in the unfree world. For example, most citizens of the Islamic Middle East are protected from ever hearing the arguments of atheism from cradle to grave. They are also, along with citizens of many other countries, prevented from receiving any real information on homosexuality.

"I went to Zwolle. ... There was a policeman in uniform, and I felt a sudden fear when I saw him, but he told me politely, "Our center is full, we're not taking any more refugees, but you can go to Zeewolde." He gave me a bus card and a train ticket and instructions for the journey. ... Police to me were oppressors, demanders of bribes. They were never helpful. I asked him "Why are you helping me?" and he smiled and said, "Those are the rules." I asked, "And is every policeman this kind?" and he replied, "I sure hope so." After this, anything was possible. To me, government was bad. It was crooked and duplicitous and it oppressed you. And here all these people were busy helping you and this for foreigners. How on earth did they treat their own clans?"
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali, in her book Infidel, describes life in the unfree world, so alien to us, where the idea that the government and police might help you is utterly alien.

"Colonel Gaddafi must understand that our country is not a doormat on which a leader, terrorist or not, can come and wipe the blood of his crimes off his feet. France should not receive this kiss of death."
- Rama Yade (see search), French minister for human rights, shows delicious disrespect for the vile dictator Gaddafi, Dec 2007.

"Let's get rid of them all"
- Tony Blair on the regimes of the unfree world.
He is responding to the "anti-war" argument on Iraq: "Why attack Iraq when there are so many other tyrannies?" Blair brilliantly calls their bluff: Yes. I agree. Let's do them all. Of course this is the last thing the "anti-war" people want! They want all tyrannies to be left alone. The left wants to leave tyrannies alone. I want all tyrannies destroyed, everywhere. This is why I am not a leftist.
