African Americans seeking justice in international courts: Lawyer
Press
TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Mustafa Ansari, International
Human Rights Lawyer, Atlanta about the unprovoked killing of an unarmed
black teenager by Missouri police, which has drawn public outrage.
The following is an approximate transcript of the interview.Press TV: What is at the root of this continuing violence that we see on the side of the police towards African Americans? Is it that the civil rights movement continues and has not ended or is this just simply raw police brutality?
Ansari: Well, the civil rights movement ended in 1979 with the decision of reverse discrimination. The decision of reverse discrimination means that there was not going to be any type of repair or restoration for the African Americans for their labor as well as for discrimination after the civil war.
So, what we are into right now, we are on the cusp of a human rights movement. And this human rights movement is actually a pickup of what Malcolm X was moving towards and Dr. King was moving towards in the last two years of his being alive.
So, we are in the midst of a human rights movement and because of that we are looking at alternatives for this situation that occurs in the United States.
One thing is that we are looking towards self determination, which is a breakaway from the United States because we do not feel – and because of the facts that there is 42 million of us (African Americans) - that we are treated well here in the United States and that institutions of racisms are so entrenched; and now have another layer of Zionism on top of that.
This new layer of Zionism is a phenomenon that has just occurred in the last 30 years. Thirty years ago the Jewish Zionist people were pretty much under cover, they were discriminated against themselves and they infiltrated the banking and the legal institutions to such an extent that now what we see is a Gaza-type of Gustapo/Nazi/Zionist type of behavior that emanates from the criminal justice system that is entrenched all the way from the judges to the lawyers to the prosecutors to the police in police departments who all protect each other in this type of affair to the police fraternities, which bankroll the police anytime that they are involved in a police shooting.
As you see and as you noticed in the lead-in that the police, after they kill one of us, they go on vacation basically – they are on what they call administrative leave. And this is really unacceptable.
So, because of the customary entrenchment of this untoward attitude and this over-militarization this Zionist-type of fervor that has taken over the United States, its Congress, its court systems and that sort of thing there is no other alternative that we see but a breakaway from the United States under the international law of self determination.So, these are the things we are confronted. Right now we’re scrambling our lawyers to come to the aid of Michael Brown. We understand that our youth are very, very upset about this and we are in the first stages of civil disobedience, civil disorder and that this is going to spread, we’ve seen this before.
And what we are trying to do now corral this effort into an intellectual lawyer international movement of self determination in which we find that this is the only solution to be up from under the authority of the United States, which has become not a democracy, but a corporatocracy.
Corporations, which are controlled by many of the Zionist banks and these financial institutions are in control of Congress – they fuel Congress with money, payoffs and because of that this country is under the grip of Zionism.
This is why a lot of people and rightly so when they look at the United States they look at Israel and visa versa and this very true; the same tactics that are used in Gaza are used in the United States against African Americans and it is explosive right now.
Every 36 hours and African American is killed, most of the time they are unarmed – just like this teenager 17 years old shot multiple times unarmed and it’s uncalled for.
We’re tired of dealing with these types of killings because we find that this is a piece-meal situation. So, right now we’re looking at internationalizing our effort, bringing the cases out of the United States courts and into international courts. SC/HMV
