IN A VERY CLUMSY AND JUVENILE MANNER

FORTIFY RIGHTS ATTACKS WORLD EXPERT ON GENOCIDE

BECAUSE FORTIFY RIGHTS WANTS HIM TO LIE FOR THEIR AGENDA

by Rick Heizman, March 10, 2020

Posing as a so-called ‘Human Rights’ group, Fortify

Rights - a notorious Jihad supporting, money making
cartel for its Amir - CEO Matthew Smith, and his cronies
- trotted out an article on March 6, 2020, titled:
Myanmar: Previously Unpublished Interview with
Myanmar Government Lawyer Details International
Crimes Against Rohingya, with this subtitle: Lawyer
compares Myanmar treatment of Rohingya to Nazi
Germany.

In 2013, Professor William Schabas - world expert on genocide - was approached by Muslim
Media giant Al-Jazeera, filmmaker Phil Rees, who was the Acting Director of Investigative
Journalism at Jazeera's Investigative Unit, and other ‘Rohingya’ advocates and frontmen. Phil
Rees was making a ‘documentary film’ to be titled: ‘The Hidden Genocide’. They all conspired
to convince Professor Schabas of the validity of their pro-Muslim agenda.

It was just after the 2012 violence erupted in Rakhine State, Myanmar, and at that time nearly
all of the news about the conflict was coming from, and filtered by, the Muslim media of the
world, especially Al-Jazeera, with its English platform. The Rakhine Buddhist narrative was
nearly totally absent from any media because there was essentially no media in that poor,
distant, and under-developed part of an already distant and under-developed country.

Al-Jazeera is a Qatari state-funded broadcaster in Doha, Qatar, owned by the Al Jazeera

Media Network, which in turn is owned by the government of Qatar. Critics have accused
Al Jazeera of being a propaganda outlet for the Qatari government. The network is
sometimes perceived to have mainly Islamist perspectives, promoting the Muslim
Brotherhood, and having a pro-Sunni and an anti-Shia bias in its reporting of regional
issues.)

In December 2019, at the International Court of Justice, Professor William Schabas said,
“I did, as I recall, a one-hour interview with a journalist from Al-Jazeera [for the film, ‘The
Hidden Genocide’]. Two clips, of a matter of seconds, were taken from the interview [for the
film]”. MATTHEW SMITH DOES NOT BOTHER TELLING YOU WHICH CLIPS WERE
ACTUALLY USED IN THE FILM! Those two short clips that the film did use are:
1
 1)“I’m always cautious about cavalier use of the term because it
does suffer from a great deal of rather extravagant use of the
term, precisely because of its potential as a word to get people’s
attention.”

2)“But I don’t think that there’s much difficulty in asserting that in

the case of the Rohingya, that we’re moving into a zone where the
word can be used.”

Matthew Smith cleverly, in a Goebbels-like manner, IMPLIES that

the last sentence ended there, after the word “used”, but it did
NOT end there. Actually Schabas said in the 2nd clip, “But I don’t
think that there’s much difficulty in asserting that in the case of the Rohingya, that we’re
moving into a zone where the word can be used even if . . . we have insufficient evidence now
to reach any firm conclusion.” Well, it is easy to see WHY Matthew Smith didn’t want the
remainder of the sentence to be acknowledged.

This madness would make Joseph Goebbels - Hitlers’ Minister of Propaganda - smile!

Matthew Smith is constantly, manipulatively, and viciously trying to shape public opinion
and foment hatred of Buddhists and non-Muslim ethnic minorities, especially in Rakhine
State, Myanmar, by constantly demonizing and dehumanizing them, and anyone speaking
for them.

Consider this: Phil Rees / Al-Jazeera recorded over 21 minutes of interviewing Professor
Schabas. It would make sense for them to use the strongest clips that agreed with their
‘genocide against Rohingya’ agenda. And, we don’t know if the interview in 2013 was held
under any agreements concerning Schabas’ right to grant Phil Rees permission to use or not
use certain clips. If those 2 clips, above, were the strongest clips used, then one can easily
see that Schabas was being cautious in what he was saying - because he was not 100%
convinced by what he was being told to him about the situation. Furthermore, Rees / Al-
Jazeera was trying to manipulate Schabas to speak more directly, and to strongly and
unambiguously state that what was happening was absolute genocide.

Phil Rees, from the U.K. has built quite a(n ill) reputation as a fanatic supporter of worldwide
Jihad. He utterly supports even the most horrible mayhem of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and
even the Taliban. He spent much time in Taliban controlled areas of Pakistan and
Afghanistan, interviewing, filming, and spreading the dogma and the fanatic Jihad agenda to
the outside world, with no criticism of their brutality, and only praise for their goals, and
agenda.

NOTICE that Matthew Smith, who undoubtably knows about Phil Rees, assumes that the
general public does not know that. Smith is, once again, conning the public into believing
that Phil Rees is a distinguished, and respectable filmmaker, which clearly he is not.

2
Professor Schabas told the judges at the International Court of Justice, in December 2019,
judges that the “journalist from Al Jazeera” misrepresented the interview, adding that the
“journalist persistently tried to get me to apply the word genocide to the situation in Myanmar.”
He went on to say, “My views will be a lot clearer if we could get a copy of the tape of the
entire interview.”

In other words, Professor Schabas was CLEARLY NOT going to say it was absolute
genocide. Schabas now realizes he was fed a boatload of lies about the ‘Rohingya’ and that
is why he is defending Myanmar against the Islamic terrorist Bengali Muslim allegations of
genocide.

However, that doesn’t stop Goebbels’ successor, Matthew Smith, from acting on one of
Goebbels’ sayings: ‘The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed’, “Professor Schabas’s
description of the situation of the Rohingya in 2013 was accurate, and the violations
continued unabated for years, culminating in crimes of genocide in 2016 and 2017,” said
Matthew Smith, CEO of Fortify Rights. He continued, “This footage is in the public interest.
We decided to release it to demonstrate that Myanmar’s narrative of the situation in Rakhine
State is based on lies, which Professor Schabas himself helped to debunk in 2013.”

Posing as a so-called ‘Human Rights’ group, Fortify Rights, a notorious Jihad supporting,
money making cartel for its Amir - Matthew Smith, and his cronies - actually has the hubris
and gall to post the following ‘Our Mission’ on its website:
(words in parenthesis are mine)

FORTIFY RIGHTS - OUR MISSION

We are a team of human rights defenders that believe in the influence of evidence-based
research (although we don’t use evidence, especially when it disproves our agenda), the
power of strategic truth-telling (our double-speak way of saying ‘the power of repetitive and
relentless lying’)….

We investigate human rights violations (our double-speak way of saying ‘we investigate ways
to allege human rights violations by the actual victims)
Responding to human rights violations requires an accurate understanding of the facts (but
we don’t care about that, as long as we can fool everyone).

We conduct in-depth, ground-breaking research into human rights violations and support
survivors, eyewitnesses, and others to contribute to the fact-finding process (except we will
not acknowledge survivors and eyewitnesses who are Buddhist, Hindu, and the ethnic
minority Mro, Thet, Diagnet, and Khami, and especially we will never investigate the 100
Hindus who were yanked out of their homes, rounded together, tortured and executed on
August 25, 2017).

We meet with senior government officials, high-level U.N. representatives, and others to
discuss the findings of our evidenced-based research and potential solutions to address
human rights concerns (or more correctly ‘we meet with senior government officials, high-
level U.N. representatives, and others to engage their gullibility to our agenda of deceit, false
narratives, and Jihad expansionism).

We also engage the media and public to expand discussion, dialogue, and action on human
rights concerns (our way to say we make the manipulative, deceitful, false media, and engage
the public in order to foment and instigate hatred of Buddhists, Hindus, and ethnic minority
peoples.
