Speech of Aziz Nesin:

Letter to Carl von Ossietzky

I would like to express my most sincere thanks to the appreciative people, who thought to give me Carl von Ossietzky Prize, the year of 1993.

To be deemed worthy of the award which was drawn up in the name of Carl von Ossietzky who has passed his 49 years very short life with struggle for democracy, human rights and peace, is an unique honor for me.

I bow respectfully to the memory of Carl von Ossietzky, who spent his youth in the concentration camps where were ignored even the living which is the most natural human right, for the sake of human rights, and who died in a corner of hospital due to the tuberculosis.

My dear audience, now to you, I will read the letter I’ve wrote to my big brother Carl von Ossietzky who is 16 years older(*) than me and the citizen of the world by knowing that it will never reach to his hand.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Dearest Carl von Ossietzky,

I would love to give you good news from this beautiful world where my sojourn time decreased, but as a matter of fact, despite all my optimism, unfortunately I will not be able to give you good and beatiful news from our world.

Which one I would tell you, dear Ossietzky?

People have started to value the human rights more than the times when you lived in the world. It needs to be pleased, doesn’t it? But you do not be happy right now; actually it doesn’t like that at all. While the people are becoming more aware of the value of human rights, the ones who ignore and who are against human rights continue to the human rights violation by applying new methods that they discovered. These new methods are ensuring the violation of human rights, while they are seeming to protect and defend human rights. The most dramatic aspect of these new methods is that the people whose rights are violated, are not aware of who violated, and also even they are not aware of whether their rights are violated or not.

Dear Carl von Ossietzky,

We have learned from you what human rights are and how they could be obtained. We owe a lot to you. We now know that as same as human rights can be violated in the behaviors of the individual against the individual, the human rights are violated in the individual’s behavior against the society or in the society’s behavior against individual. Today, the most talked controversial issue is the behavior of the states or governments’ behavior which is against human rights, on their citizens. Today, those times when a state that was in violation of human rights could say “you can not interfere to my internal affairs, I do what I want to do on my citizens,” to the other states which were respectful to the human rights, have passed already. However, today, human rights are being violated by the new methods that I have mentioned without being noticed, by the states.

I am, as being a writer of one of the countries which were called as “the third world” before the period of unipolar globalization called the new world order, and nowadays which are known as “underdeveloped” or “developing”, as being a writer of Turkey, I feel such states’ acts against the state, their acts against the human rights until my bones and marrow. The human rights of the people and intellectuals of the countries like my country, are being violated by the countries which are considered as civilize, supposed high-tech countries, modern civilization countries and the countries that experienced the industrial revolution on time. Thanks to the newly discovered violation ways of human rights, even the people whose rights are violated would not know it. Except this, the people and intellectuals of the state that violated human rights of an another state, do not know their state have violated the human rights of the citizens of an another state; only their government officials and politicians know.

I can show the concrete examples for what I said. But I prefer to talk in general instead of giving the concrete examples.

Supposing that, the country A is backward or was left in backward, or it is one of the countries which is underdeveloped or developing. In this A country, both individually and socially human rights are being violated. Even in A country, human rights are being violated based on the laws.

The countries X, Y and Z, which respect human rights, naturally do not remain silent on the situation of A country. On the grounds that A country is violated human rights, the political and economic relations of the X, Y and Z countries with A country, have been deteriorated.

However in some day we see that, the broken realitionship of X country with A country suddenly has been fixed. Not only X country, also the countries Y and Z can suddenly improve/fix their relationships with A country.

Well, while the human rights violations are still the same as before in country A, even the rights are violated based on the laws, which reason it might be the reason for changing relationships of X, Y and Z countries which are thought to be respectful of human rights, with country A?

The answer of these questions should be found by today’s intellectual with thinking.

These reasons are the following events which are seemed as if they do have no realitionship with human rights:

The country X will set up a factory in the country A. The country Y will build a bridge in the country A. The country Z will sell the airplane to the country A.

A factory, a bridge, a weapon sale tender, these cause to forget human rights of the high technology and civilization countries which seem to be respectful to human rights. Neither the people and intellectuals of the counties X, Y, Z nor the people and intellectuals of the backward country A, are aware of all these, also thanks to the media.

Dearest Carl von Ossietzky,

It seems that to establish world peace, to actualize the democracy and democratization, to apply human rights in full, for all them our work is much more difficult than before. Because the people and the intellectuals of both the cheating countries and cheated countries, are deceived without their notice. The number of those who are not deceived and can see the truths, is decreasing day by day. Because every superior concept such as high technology, contemporary science, art and philosophy are in the hands of the opposite party and in their service.

Dear Carl von Ossietzky,

I am sorry that I was not able to give you good news from our world on the 45th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights while I am taking this award which was drawn up in the name of you. The human rights violations I have mentioned above, have not took a part yet in the Human Rights Declaration. I do not believe that this distorted order will change as long as the politicians and administrators who represent the biggest states, remain as the secret human rights violators.

There isn’t any hope? Is there no light at all? As long as there are those who see the truth and those who investigate the causes of the events, even if their numbers are few, there is hope. A tiny spark can produce very big fires, it could be causing a great light. We have no remedy other than hope.

With my warmest regards, I express my thanks, dear Ossietzky.

December 7, 1993 Tesvikiye, Istanbul

(*) Aziz Nesin birth date is 1915, Carl von Ossietzky birth date is 1889

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Aziz Nesin was a great humorist and satirist of Turkish literature, and political activist. If some one asks me, “who made you laugh too much on this planet?”, I can give his name in my top five list. His life has passed with struggle. He has been always against wrong managements. When looking his life we see that he never gave up. And his readers always esteemed/esteem his value. After more than 100 books (many of them has been translated into over thirty languages) poems, novels, short stroies and theatre works, after many awards from many countries such as Italy, Bulgaria, Russia, Germany, after built Nesin Mathematics Village in Sirince county Izmir where more than 100 children learn math with enjoyable ways by avoiding fear of failure on Math every year, and after so after many beauties he left behind, he left this planet in 1995.

His struggle life can be explaned with many time he was put in jail due to his political ideas, and in one time, he was tried to kill by burning in Madimak, Sivas city of Turkey in 1993. Madimak massacre is a kind of black stain in Turkey’s history. Same day, 33 poets, writer and folk artists have been killed by burning in Madimak Hotel by bigot Islamists mob. Aziz Nesin narrowly escaped a lynching attempt and death, while he was tried to run away from hotel fire.

There is a describing in English wikipedia page of Aziz Nesin: “Nesin supposedly provided a strong indictment of the oppression and brutalization of the common man. He satirized bureaucracy and “exposed economic inequities in stories that effectively combine local color and universal truths”.

I would like to add to this an another explanation from his voice from Turkish wikipedia page of him with translate by myself.

His understanding about humor and art

Aziz Nesin is describing the art, artist, and humor in the interview of Journalist Zeynep Oral, Milliyet news paper Art Magazine. [6]

When it comes to humor, I have to say from the beginning that I understand the functional humor which serves a function for the people’ benefits. The factor which drove me to the humorous writing was the conditions of that day’s environment. In short, I say; Humor is often deprivation and poverty, the anger which comes from life, furiousness, the way of putting forth own grudge. Of course each person who has difficulty would not be humorous with every painful condition, but these severe conditions improve one’s humorous ability. Humor is a destructive, as can be understood from the individual condition necessary for the growth of humor. If humorous can direct his disappointment, hatred, anguish, grudge to the goal which needs to be destroyed in real, and if humorous can use his/her humor weapon for people’ benefit, it becomes a positive destructive.

Each writer who has the class conscious knows that he is self-guided, motivated by ownself unavoidably. Any politicians, any directors cannot direct to a writer who has the class consciousness. The function of art? I do have the different ideas which do not fit with the others. On the condition that the artist identifies himself with his own class, the artist needs to reveal the function of art with self-exclusion and self-existence by reaching himself. Because of he is identified with his class, while he tells about himself, he tells about his class.

I don’t like to use “was, were” in past tense for some great humans, after their bodies left this planet. It’s not about accepting or denying death. Because, even if their physical existences aren’t here, they do have still power on laughing or thinking. Aziz Nesin still makes me laugh when he makes me think with his works. That’s why, I’d like to use “is” for him, because he is one of the greatest humorists and satirists which the mankind could see.

I hope that for those who have not known Aziz Nesin yet, Carl von Ossietzky reward he has received also his letter, and what I have conveyed (which is in fact, these are only one percent of his life) has been enough for now. I know that this planet is such a beautiful place with such beautiful people and their works. Also, I hope that the people’s awareness will increase day by day, as same as in the letter of Aziz Nesin to Carl von Ossietzky: “We have no remedy other than hope,” for now.

PS: As you can guess my Earthling friends, the speech and letter of Aziz Nesin to Carl von Ossietzky were translated in English by myself from this page of Nesin Foundation. There wasn’t English version on that page or web. I guess, except Turkish there is another one and it’s in Deutsche, if I find that one, I will add here later. You know, I have got flu in these days, and I have tried to do my best. I hope all translated parts have been clear and understandable. And yes, I’ve devoted myself to the humans’ benefit with making kind of translate works while I am sick, by ignoring all complaints of WD. 🙂

“Nazis Trained and Supported Chile’s Operation Condor Activities”

Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet (L) greets U.S Foreign Secretary Henry Kissinger (R) in 1976 as Operation Condor is launched.

TeleSUR news, published in 17 December 2016

Declassified documents reveal U.S.-backed Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet used Nazi training and support for Operation Condor activities.

A top secret 1979 report to the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee reveals U.S. backed Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet had help from former Nazi’s in training and supporting his Operation Condor activities.

The declassified report, released on Dec. 12 by the Obama administration, describes the extensive ties between a Nazi “colony” based in Southern Chile and the notorious Chilean secret service DINA, which helped create and operate the deadly multi-state Operation Condor intelligence operation designed to destroy opposition to U.S. backed right-wing regimes in Latin America.

The report outlines that the Chilean Directorate of National Intelligence, DINA, which was created in 1974 to exterminate the left-wing opposition to Pinochet’s dictatorship and reported directly to the President, maintained a “close liaison with the German Nazi colony of La Dignidad in Southern Chile” and even operated a torture center within the Nazi base.

The report describes that the Nazi compound, referred to in the report as “The Colony,” was established by former Nazi officers at the close of World War II and operated with “complete autonomy.” Camp personnel, made of ex-Gestapo or ex-SS officers, gave DINA agents “instruction in torture techniques and have actually taken part in the application of that torture,” according to the report.

The report further details that as DINA developed Operation Condor’s extensive international assassination network, it made use of “the Colony’s national and international contacts,” and that “the Colony’s leadership maintains good relations with Chilean military officials, particularly officers of the Chilean Air Force, who have close ties to the Colony’s former Luftwaffe pilots.”

The report, which was submitted to the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee, which at the time included current U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and was chaired by Frank Church, who authored the Church Committee report detailing the U.S.’s own international assassination operation, outlined the vast scope and ambition of Plan Condor operations.

Based in Chile and created by former DINA director and Pinochet’s close personal friend Manuel Contreras, the report describes Plan Condor as “a consortium” of the intelligence services of U.S.-backed dictatorships in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

The report quotes Contreras as saying Plan Condor agents operated under civilian control in “all Chilean embassies abroad” with a goal of “hitting Chilean enemies in those countries.” The report quotes Contreras, a former paid CIA operative who died in 2015 while serving a 500-year sentence in Chile for his crimes, as saying “We will go to Australia if necessary to get our enemies.”

However, the report shows that Contreras’ first stop was, in fact, the U.S. itself. While the report does not give details of U.S. involvement, it admits that before creating Plan Condor, Contreras came to the U.S. in the early days of DINA to seek out support in creating the intelligence network. The report says Plan Condor even attempted to create a “station” in Miami, but when U.S. agents found out and advised issuing a formal diplomatic objection, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger objected, instead deciding to inform Plan Condor directors directly that the U.S. “disapproved” of a Miami station.

While the report claims the Miami Plan Condor station was never created, it does describe in detail the “phase three” operational plan likely used to assassinate former Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. and key Pinochet opponent Orlando Letelier, in Washington, D.C., in 1976. It suggests a similar process was used to target Venezuelan guerrilla Carlos the Jackal in France and Portugal, a plan which was eventually called off after European diplomats discovered the plot and raised objections.The report is just one of what the National Security Archive — an independent nongovernmental research institute and library based in Washington, D.C. — says are hundreds more documents about Plan Condor operations set to be released in the coming months.

Chile’s DINA and Plan Condor operations are thought to have led to the death and disappearance of 50,000 people throughout Latin America during the 1970s and 1980s.

After WW2,
Brazil took in between 1,500 and 2,000 Nazi war criminals,

Between 500 and 1,000 Nazis have settled in Chile.

About 5,000 Nazis were relocated to Argentina.

Many of them used International Red Cross stamped passports while crossing the borders.

Some of the Nazis in DINA (Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional) in Chile:

Corporal Paul Schäfer Schneider in Wehrmacht at WW2; In Chile, founder of Colonia Dignidad

SS Colonel Walter Rauff: Mobil gas chambers (gas van) inventor, he caused about 100,000 people death in WW2
…..

And, I gave up! I realized now that about two hours I searched the names of Nazis in Chile in English and Russian web pages. Only two of them, so only two names (Schäfer and Rauff) of about 1000 Nazis in Chile as you see upper lines, are written on the web pages.

Where are the others’ names!

Is this something about German society in Chile before WW2? While I was searching I’ve learnt that in a considerable number German ethnic people who borned between 1880-1890 in Chile, they went to Nazi Germany during the WW2 by joining to Wehrmacht for fighting. Also, I have no idea how their families went to Chile about 130 years maybe more years ago and why! Crazy planet!

Bangladesh student Nazimuddin Samad hacked to death

UK suppresses documents on Gitmo ‘torture collusion’

The British government is withholding key documents which could shed light on allegations of UK’s involvement in the torture of detainees in Guantanamo prison, according to a new report. A number of files have been recently found which reveal confidential exchanges between top former US and UK authorities on the torture and rendition of detainees.

Based on a lawsuit by a British parliamentary group, the US administration is obliged to make public documents which relate to Britain’s involvement.

Former Guantanamo detainees have previously said British officials have either been present at, or submitted questions for, “extreme” interrogation by US officials, according to the Independent.

The documents indicate that former UK prime minister Tony Blair and former US president George W. Bush had been in consultation about the treatment of detainees at the US-run prison in Cuba.

Justice for humanity

The lawsuit against the refugees’ deal: It was sued to EU Court of Justice

The consensus which was made between Turkey and EU to get under the control of immigrants which the majority is composed of Syrian refugees, went on trial. AYVA foundation which has established in Izmir city of Turkey and STOP ngo, within the scope of the understanding of stopping migration at EU borders and locking inside Turkey, and on demand the determination of measures including administrative and the lack of political solutions, has litigated.

The representatives of AYVA and STOP have made a call to EU commission and European Council about the refugee problem in the meeting hall of Izmir Bar Association with a press conference.

One of the AYVA representatives journalist Feyzi Hepsenkal said in his explaining:
“Refugee issue is a matter of human rights first and foremost. You cannot solve Syrian refugees issue by locking them inside Turkey. Your thoughts that you inflict the problems related with social and security created by refugees on Turkey, are showing that you didn’t understand the issue and you’re in big wrong. You cannot stop the refugees’ flow with this way. You made the connection between the problem of Syrian refugees and visa liberalization for Turkey citizens and EU accession process of Republic of Turkey; this is problematic in terms of ethic. You should see this frame that you wanted to create over human life, damages to positive perception of EU values which occured in many years.”

Hepsenkal said that the refugees die with fluttering as well as the latest example in Ayvalik and Dikili(*), the humanity is drowned openly and it is seen that EU is accepting the understanding of irregular migration is stopped at EU borders and locking inside Turkey. He continued to his explanation:
“We are warning:
Exhibited approach is contrary to,
– The relating to Status of Refugees (Geneva) contract, 28 July 1951
– The protocol relating to Status of Refugess, 1967
– The principle of “refoulement” which has been accepted by UN High Commissioner of Refugees as a mandatory rule of international law
– Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 14 paragraph 1, 10 December 1948
– European Convention relating to Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, 4 November 1950, Rome

With this reason, we make an application to Presidency of Court of Justice EU by examining the inadequate solution which was found by political leaders and with the thought of creating jurisprudence decisions. In the process that we started, we call everyone for solidarity.”

The representative, lawyer Senih Ozay said that Europe entered into shock because of refugees. Ozay said: “EU said let give 3 billion Euros to Turkey. They say that they would provide the visa facilitation and the refugees stay in Turkey. EU agreed with Prime Minister of Turkey, Davutoglu. We also prepared our application to international court. We’re hopeful. Maybe with this sued, it would be taken an important decision for solving the issue of refugees.”

(*) at Ayvalik and Dikili of Turkey only yesterday 38 Syrain refugees died at Aegean Sea. Many death bodies were on shore. This is link about http://www.sondakika.com/haber/haber-ayni-gun-ikinci-gocmen-faciasi-kiyida-7-ceset-8032112/

Besides if you want to see what happen at Aegean Sea, you just write “Aegean Sea and refugees” or in Turkish “Ege’de multeciler” at google. You can see how the horror continues boths side of Aegean Sea, so at coast of Turkey and Greece despite cold and rough sea. This tragedy was never decline, it continues to increase day by day.

As you can see, any deal between the politicians cannot work for refugees problem. I hope with this sued EU Court of Justice would make realistic and constructive decision for humanity.

WHY!

Yemeni occupation

The massacre of civilians continues by the coalition which Saudi Arabia led at Yemeni occupation. Just yesterday, 28 people including children and women have been killed at a wedding.

Capitalism kills. How many people died at the Hajj disaster in real?

769 people!

The Saudi Health Ministry’s latest figures, released Saturday, put the toll at 769 people killed and 934 injured.

or 1100 people!

Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, a lawmaker in Pakistan’s governing PML-N political party who is leading his country’s response to the disaster, said Saudi officials gave diplomats “1,100 photos” of the dead.

or else 4700 people!

Said Evhedi, the President of Iran’s Hajj Council on Monday has claimed that a total of at least 4,700 pilgrims have died in the recent hajj stampede tragedy.

Evhedi has reportedly spoken at Iranian TV channel IRINN and stated that the death toll is much higher than Saudi figures.

“We believe that at least 4,700 people died in the hajj stampede and there are at least 3,000 corpses awaiting identification in 21 trucks” Evhedi said, while noting that the number of Iranians who died in the incident has risen to 228.

While all those pilgrims are dying, one of Saudi prince is stoning the devil in latest model of the Jeep, in quite safely! You can see at this video

Animals are being massacred at Saudi Arabia! At hajj, many animal has been slaughtered during the greater eid in barbaric ways! Please don’t watch this video if you cannot handle, it is horrible!

Human Rights Council will be led by Saudi Arabia?

While Ruhani asks United Nations to investigate Hajj disaster with justification 3 days ago, United Nations Farce: Saudi Arabia to Head UN Human Rights Council

These events happened in just one month! I didn’t mention even before. How Saudi Arabia management obtained this big concession on this planet? How they gained this privilege on this planet! And WHY!!!

Most of the people say that” I am environmentalist and I am always giving support to the indigenous people rights”. But, only very few people acts with the thoughts what they said. This is a hypocrisy. Tseltales people are not trying to save only own lands. They are trying to save lands of the planet Earth. Those lands are yours as well as theirs.

Well we waited long enough for this Torture Report, didn’t we?  But the most corrupt, depraved, murderous and barbaric government in the world – the United States Government – has deigned only to release a 528-page “Executive Summary” of the horribly misnamed Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s Torture Report.  The 6700-page magnum opus of the repulsive Obama Administration remains completely censored and unavailable to the citizens of the United States who put this criminal US Government in power and kept it there election after election in spite of all the massive revelations of the vast corruption, criminality and mass murder taking place at the command of those hirelings of the US capitalist class who inhabit the highest elected offices in the “Land of the Free(TM)”!

Amnesty Press Release – DRC: Belgian mining giant lied over bulldozing homes

First cut the trees, then kick the people out their home. This is the capitalism. The same thing is happening in everywhere, where is far away from the west eyes. Human rights mean is not only rights for yourself. One day, same threat may be knock at your home; maybe it will come in different ways, but surely it will.

MinBane

24 November 2014

A Belgian mining company, Groupe Forrest International, has consistently lied about the bulldozing of hundreds of homes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and has denied justice to those affected, said Amnesty International today in a new report.  

Bulldozed: How a mining company buried the truth about forced evictions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo provides satellite imagery and other new evidence, exposing how the company’s subsidiary, Entreprise Général Malta Forrest (EGMF), supplied bulldozers that were used to unlawfully demolish homes and forcibly evict hundreds of people living next to the company’s Luiswishi mine in Kawama, Katanga in 2009. It also details how the companies and the Congolese government have obstructed attempts to achieve justice for the villagers ever since.

“There is now overwhelming and irrefutable evidence showing that the forced evictions that Groupe Forrest International has denied for years in fact took…
