Detroit’s Auburn Hills: white supremacist neo-Nazi groupAryan Nations puts plastic Easter eggs over area with racist hate fliers – some on lawns of black Americans – found by small children.
— Click on Detroit reports:
— “African-American families in the 4800 block of Dexter Road said they found the plastic eggs tossed in their yard with hateful messages inside.”
— “Some of the messages included the ‘N’ word and references to the Aryan Nation. Shamir Lyles said she watched a girlfriend’s son open one of the eggs.”
— “‘He was shocked. He didn’t know what it was, he thought it was the Easter bunny,’ she said. ‘I was really shocked. I mean, you know the feelings are out there and the thought are there, but to just be openly displayed like this … I was really kind of shocked this happened in our area.'”

— WJBK Detroit report:
— “Messages of Hate Found in Easter Eggs”
— “Colorful, plastic Easter eggs are known to hold sweet treats, but what some people found inside some of those eggs has them terribly disturbed. Vile messages of racism and hate were printed on a flier stuffed into the eggs. They were distributed in neighborhoods in Auburn Hills.
— “‘The Aryan Nations is a group that is claiming that’s who is distributing the information, but we’re not exactly sure who went out and passed it out,’ said Auburn Hills Police Lt. James Manning. ‘There are… as far as we can find at this point, no local groups that are claiming responsibility.'”
— “The eggs were first spotted in a neighborhood near Walton and Dexter.”
— “‘The area that was covered was primarily one neighborhood, but there’s no indication that any one family or individual was targeted,’ Manning said.”
— “Neighbors reject the message and messengers of hate.”
— “Another neighborhood was hit with the eggs. Police are investigating a Web site linked to the hate fliers, and the distributors remain elusive.”
— “Anyone with information is asked to call the Auburn Hills Police Department at 248-370-9448. ”

Communist North Korea: Human rights situation in DPR Korea is bleak, independent UN expert says
— UN: “The many instances of harrowing and horrific human rights violations in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) will continue unless certain measures at the national and international levels are taken, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in the country said today.
— “‘From witnessing the human rights situation in the country for the past six years, one finding is glaring: the abuses against the general population, for which authorities should be responsible, are both egregious and endemic,’ said Special Rapporteur Vitit Muntarbhorn, introducing his final report today to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. Mr. Muntarbhorn’s maximum term of six years expires this year.”

The anti-democracy group Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks the creation of a global caliphate, led a protest of thousands in Indonesia on Sunday March 14, 2010 in the South Sulawesi area of Makassar and also in Central Java’s Solo city, regarding the planned visit of U.S. president Barack Obama to Indonesia at the end of March 2010. The anti-freedom Hizb ut-Tahrir group is promoting an anti-Obama campaign throughout all of Indonesia on their web site (see screen shot). The Hizb ut-Tahrir protesters view Barack Obama as “Musuh Omat Islam”which means “Enemy of Islam.”
Mediareports have stated that 2,000 Hizb ut-Tahrir protesters were at various events and marches against Barack Obama in Indonesia. The Jakarta Post reported that one march led by the anti-democracy group Hizb ut-Tahrir against Obama began at a local mosque. AFP reported that Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Nur Alam called America “the real terrorists” and stated that while U.S. President Barack Obama may “have a different skin color” from former U.S. President Bush, that Obama seeks to “oppress” Muslims.
Anti-Democracy Group Hizb ut-Tahrir Leads Protests Against Barack Obama -- Waving Black Flags of "Islamic Caliphate"
The Indonesia branch of the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), describes the “sins of Barack Obama” as the “sins of destruction of ideology” stating America has committed the “sin” of “promoting neoliberal capitalism.” HTI also views Barack Obama guilty of the “sin of history,” and the “sin” of having the IMF and World Bank provide financial support to help Indonesia. Finally, HTI views Barack Obama guilty of the “sins of humanity.”
Many of the HTI signs read “Tolak Obama” which means “Reject Obama.”
Anti-Democracy Group Hizb ut-Tahrir Protests Against Barack Obama
HTI believes that continued protests in Jakarta can possibly disrupt Barack Obama’s visit to Indonesia. HTI urges Indonesian Muslims to chase Obama out of Indonesia and state that “the fact that Obama’s biography that his ancestors were Muslims, according to HTI, can not be the basis for the ‘privileged concern.'”
Anti-Democracy Group Hizb ut-Tahrir Protests Against Barack Obama
HTI states that “In addition to the arrival of Obama’s rejection, in these demos, HTI also call upon all Muslims to truly manifest the life of the Islamic struggle in which Islamic law is applied under the auspices of the caliph.”
Anti-Democracy Group Hizb ut-Tahrir Protests Against Barack Obama
HTI describes an event at an Indonesian Central Library where 1000 attended an assembly of Tribunal Al-Islamiyah Buhuts, where the black flag of the extremist caliphate and the white flag of Dar Al-Salam were hung with anti-Obama banner in the center reading “Tolak Obama”… “Reject Obama.”

Summary of Media Reports:
AFP reported that:
— “Around 2,000 protesters from the hardline Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir, which aims to establish a Muslim caliphate, shouted ‘Islam united… will not be defeated. Reject Obama’ and tore printouts of the American flag as they marched around the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar on Sunday.”
— “In Central Java’s Solo city, another 500 of the group’s supporters carried posters saying ‘Expel Obama.. leader of coloniser’ and ‘America.. The Real Terrorists.'”
— “‘There are two types of visitors, good and bad. Obama is bad. He might be of a different skin colour from George Bush, but he still oppressed the Muslims,’ the group’s spokesman Nur Alam said, referring to former US president George W. Bush.”

The Jakarta Post reports:
— “Two thousand supporters of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) in South Sulawesi staged Sunday an anti-US President Barrack Obama rally in Makassar, rejecting his plan to visit Indonesia.”
— “The rally began at Al Markaz Al Islami mosque and continued to Mandala monument.”
— “The protesters called Obama inconsistent in his promise to work for peace such as by sending more troops to Afghanistan, and injecting a fund to Israel.”
— “Obama is scheduled to visit Indonesia later this month.”

As the Voice of the Copts’ Ashraf Ramellah and others have pointed out, “Christians of Egypt, also known as Copts, have been living under discrimination, oppression and persecution for almost 1430 years.”
A young nation such as the United States of America can barely grasp the concept of such a lengthy and protracted oppression of any group. America itself is only 234 years old. The international Declaration of Universal Human Rights was created just over 60 years ago. So I can only imagine the great frustration, the great discouragement, and the great resentment and anger that any group that has been persecuted for over a millennium would have today. Furthermore, I can also only imagine the great skepticism that any group persecuted that long would have in hearing suggestions from American human rights activists today.
But sometimes “out of the mouths of babes” comes great strength and wisdom. So I have a message today, on behalf of our organization here, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) – not just to stand in solidarity with the oppressed Copts in Egypt – but also a message to the Copts’ oppressors.
To both the Copts and to their oppressors, I invite you to consider seeking a path to a new Egypt, to an Undiscovered Country, where freedom of religion, where freedom of conscience, where our universal human rights of equality and liberty, are not just special privileges, but are guaranteed rights for all human beings.
I invite you to pursue a path where human rights and peace are not considered as opposite choices, but are recognized as equal priorities. And I invite you to pursue a path where we leave hate in our past, and choose love for our future.
America may be a young nation, by Egypt’s standards. But for a young nation, we know a lot about hate. We also know about a lot about defying hate, and standing up for our fellow human beings’ universal human rights. America has and will continue to make a lot of mistakes; I don’t suggest for one second that we have a perfect record on human rights ourselves.
But what I do believe is that there have been instances in America’s history that both the Copts and the Copts’ oppressors can use to learn from in going forward in finding peace and human dignity in Egypt in the future.
In America, we have struggled with a terrible disease of hate known as white racial supremacism that sought to deny non-white Americans voting rights, employment, with nationwide discrimination and even attacks on non-white houses of worship. Our nation was divided and fought a Civil War over this disease. Our nation had to come to grips with a 4 million member terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan, over this disease. One hundred years after our national Civil War, we had to fight yet another war of ideas in American places of work, public institutions, and schools for black American civil rights. The black and other non-white victims of such oppression held rallies and protested, they sought leaders, and demanded their rights, not unlike what the Copts in Egypt are doing today.
But the ANSWER to this problem did not come only from the protests of the minority who were oppressed. Rather it also came from the majority who finally came to realize that such oppression was THEIR problem and was THEIR responsibility to change. In my own lifetime, with my own eyes, I have seen America come from a nation where black Americans were widely hated and disrespected by many, with businesses that would only serve “white clientele,” to a nation where a black American is President of the United States.
My message to Egyptians, and especially to Egyptian Muslims, is to recognize that is the POWER of love. It could change America. It can change Egypt and the world.
Egypt is not America. I know that. But we are all human beings. The human beings of any religion, any race, are still the same human beings as we are. The lesson that young America has for Egypt is that even the oppressors of others can realize our shared humanity, and find the humility and shame to admit when they have been wrong. The lesson that young America has for Egypt is that there is always hope for any of us to change and choose love, not hate.
The lesson young America has for Egypt is that any of us can set a path for the Undiscovered Country where our human rights and dignity are inherent in our national identity, including in Egypt.
So my message to Egyptian Muslims today is don’t look to just the Coptic victims of oppression for the solution to peace and human rights in Egypt. Don’t expect only the Copts and their diaspora around the world to deal with this problem.
Egyptian Muslims – this is YOUR problem and YOUR responsibility. Egyptian Muslims – the change in Egypt and your government to end the millennium of oppression against Copts – begins with YOU. Hate hurts us all. Rejecting hate is our shared responsibility as human beings, not only in Egypt, but also in all of our shared Earth.
Some will say that it is impossible for Egyptian Muslims to assume such responsibilities, and state that Egyptian Muslims cannot recognize our universal human rights, but only those “rights” dictated by the OIC-created Cairo Declaration that only recognizes rights under “Sharia.” A decision to accept our unqualified universal human rights is also a choice that Egyptian Muslims must make, if they seek to be part of the brotherhood and sisterhood accepting such shared human rights. There is no mandate to oppress Egypt Copts that all Muslims must follow. There is no mandate of “Sharia” in the Qur’an other than choosing the “right path.”
Egyptian Muslims can choose to believe that some so-called religious scholars can justify denying universal human rights under their interpretations of “Sharia,” or they can choose to “let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. (Qur’an 5:8).”
Such choices to defend human justice are never without consequences. There were some in America who once believed that white racial supremacism was legally justified. When increasing numbers of white American rejected such hate and injustices, they were called “race traitors” and were hated themselves. This continues even among some today. But real courage requires that we are consistently responsible for equality and liberty – not just for people like us, but also and perhaps especially for people who are NOT like us.
So I also know that there are those Egyptian Muslims who have called for human rights that have been demonized and hated. Some are threatened as well. But the choices we make define who and what we are as human beings. The choices we make can shape the history of our nations and the future for our children. The choices we make can bring us closer to finding the Undiscovered Country of human rights, dignity, and justice for all of our fellow human beings.
So today, we urge Egyptian Muslims, on behalf of the oppressed Egyptian Copts, but also on behalf of freeing Egypt from its bondage to hatred and oppression, to choose wisely for their future, their children’s future, and their nation’s future. Choose to end the oppression of Copts in Egypt, and the bondage of all Egyptians from codes that defy our shared universal human rights for all.

========================================
March 11 Logistics to Egypt Embassy:
— Date: Thursday, March 11
— Time: 1 PM to 4 PM
— Address: 3522 International Court N.W., Washington, DC 20008
— Nearby Washington DC metro stops: Van Ness-UDC metro stop
— Directions: R.E.A.L. recommends that rally attendees come by the Washington subway (“metro”) system to the Van Ness-UDC metro stop and walk over to the embassy. The parking near the embassies specifically states that such parking is by permit only. However, there are public parking facilities on nearby Connecticut Avenue NW and Veazey Terrace NW a block north of the Van Ness-UDC metro stop as an alternative. Details on the subway and parking options are provided in the following paragraphs.
Walking from VAN NESS-UDC METRO STATION to INTERNATIONAL COURT NW
— Exit station using WEST SIDE OF CONNETICUT AVE NW & VEAZY ST exit
— Walk approx. 1 block SE on Connecticut Ave NW.
— Turn right on Van Ness St NW.
— Walk approx. 3 blocks W on Van Ness St NW.
— Turn right on International Court NW.
— Walk approx. 1 block N on International Court NW.
Getting There by Car:
The embassy “courtyard” of International Court and International Drive can be reached by driving towards Connecticut Avenue NW, then turning onto Van Ness Street NW, and then from Van Ness Street NW you are able to turn onto either International Place or International Drive. We have seen that the parking by the embassy is by permit only, although it is not clear how severely that is enforced.
Another alternative we have found is the Van Ness Center public parking lot. We found that if go up Connecticut about half a block from the Van Ness-UDC metro stop (4201 Connecticut Avenue), that there is parking on the right of Connecticut Avenue going North when you turn right onto Veazey Terrace NW. There is a public parking lot called the Van Ness Center parking lot that is next to a Giant food store. The Van Ness Center lot is run by Landmark Parking, and it shows an address of 4301 Connecticut Avenue NW, but my GPS said that it was 3046 Veazey Terrace NW. (There is also another lot advertised on that block of Connecticut Avenue next to an “Embassy Cleaners.”) Walking back down the Connecticut Avenue from the parking lot exit, you will see a Pizza Hut, Jerry’s Sub shop and Bank of America on the corner. Then basically follow the walking directions from the Van Ness-UDC Metro stop above.

One of Richard Spencer’s first articles was to address“AltRight and Its Enemies,” complaining about articles by Imagine 2050 and Tim Mak on the new “Alternative Right” organization. In Richard Spencer’s article on his “enemies,” he praises the rebuttal to Tim Mak by “Hunter Wallace” of the anti-Semitic, white nationalist Occidental Dissent group. Richard Spencer publishes “Hunter Wallace’s” comments and Wallace’s support for “Alternative Right,” where “Hunter Wallace” states: “We support what they are doing.” Occidental Dissent’s mission is “the creation of a Jew-free, racially exclusive White ethnostate in North America.” This is the same “Hunter Wallace” who seeks a Southern white “ethnostate” and who also admires Adolf Hitler. “Hunter Wallace” praises Richard Spencer as the “acknowledged leader” and the “William F. Buckley of this social movement.” The leader of the anti-Semitic, white nationalist Occidental Dissent group “Hunter Wallace” also views that “Alt Right is emerging as a popular internet watering hole where we can interact and share ideas.”
"Alternative Right" Richard Spencer Thanks Occidental Dissent's "Hunter Wallace" for "Skillfully" Defending Him
While he was with TakiMag, Alternative Right’s Richard Spencer had invited “white nationalist” American Renaissance leader Jared Taylor to write for TakiMag, leading to Jared Taylor’s article “Whiteout” condemning “racial mixing” and seeking whites to start “sticking up for their rights as white people.”
Richard Spencer also describes himself as a fan of Craig Bodeker (who was a scheduled speaker at the white nationalist American Renaissance conference), “Epic Beard Man” (white man filmed in violent attack on a black man on a bus praised by racists), anti-feminist Spearhead, AmericanNewRight.com, VlaamsBelang, LewRockwell.com, and the Ludwig Von Mises Institute. Richard Spencer has clearly indicated the activists that he is interested in reaching with his “Alternative Right” campaign.
Robert Weissberg posts on the Alternative Right website about “The Siren Song of Diversity,” stating that “the public sector transformation means going from blacks being governed by whites to whites, save at the highest administrative levels, being governed by blacks. In other words, yesterday’s short-order cook is today’s assistant school principal or IRS supervisor.”
We support our unqualified, universal human rights for all. We urge Nazi, white supremacist, “white nationalist,” and “race realist” supporters to drop the burden of the hate of supremacism from their hearts, and to rejoin the family of humanity in support of our universal human rights.

UN: Thousands of honor killings each year
— AFP: “Some 5,000 women are murdered in honour killings every year, the UN’s top human rights official said Thursday, calling it an ‘extreme symptom of discrimination.'”
— “‘It has been estimated that as many as one in three women across the world has been beaten, raped or otherwise abused during the course of her lifetime,” said Navi Pillay in a statement. “Amongst the most extreme forms of abuse is what is known as ‘honour killing’,” added the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.”
