Suddenly they come from all sides, Erdogan and Orban, Salvini’s, trump and Mini-trump – Brazil and Europe to the distant regions of Asia. Their motives and their stories are different, their patterns of action almost uniform:
you are looking in their own people, and minorities, groups that you exclude, and they are a majority in position can bring. It is all about, to stir up hostile emotions. Fear is in the eyes of the new despot is a stronger drive than hope. If you hit the right nerve, and unscrupulous enough, you can win elections – without ever having shown that they know a better Plan for the future.
once you Are in Power, it starts immediately with the Phase of the hedge. The control mechanisms of a liberal system to be turned off or infiltrated. The judiciary is riddled with your own party-goers, the independence of the courts (if possible on unobtrusive, bureaucratic way) resolved. Then all that remains is to kill the independent press. Also this works more or less successfully with infiltration and pressure on private media groups, Infiltration of the public service where it’s still there.
Donald Trump has shown how much can be alone with the incessant “Fake News”-Brüllerei. With a people that believes nothing more can Redwin do about the Ruling, what you want (Hannah Ahrendt). And need do not end up once more to fear from a ballot.
Almost 70 years, humanity has been allowed to believe that the Trend of history is against such machinations. The Foundation stone was laid 70 years ago, immediately after the end of the murder in the Holocaust and the Second world war with the universal Declaration of human rights on 10. December 1948.
The anniversary of this great Vision it can be today, with a historical assessment. The theme calls for a current, critical inventory. The progress of the rail, in spite of many setbacks for 70 years, unstoppable, seems to have stopped. Even the Reached is in danger. To be the individual human rights, the Basis of free, democratic societies that threaten to take the zeal of the new despot, and of the indifference of the Lucky ones.
“Untouchable”, our human rights documentation, an inventory and a call to commitment. You should not conceal the dangers, but above all, the people celebrate, the store, in editorial offices, refugee, in medical missions in the hell of our time holes, in NGO-Central, courtrooms and on the streets and squares of major cities around the planet, not the big Vision goes: human rights must remain inviolable.
