Why? Because I’m a human rights activist and I get in the way of U.S. foreign policy. Your tax dollars well spent. And you thought that USAID’s purpose was foreign aid and humanitarian assistance. Then again, Americans are used to pumping money into the U.S. foreign interventionist and war machine and not minding that they suffer—and cause tremendous suffering—for it.

I am a human rights activist and advocate for my country— Macedonia — and for its language and its culture. To the American taxpayer, you have probably never heard of me. You might not know much about Macedonia or even be able to find it on a map. But here's one thing you have a right to know: Millions of your taxpayer dollars were spent to foment a political crisis in my country, to overthrow its government, and even to defame me personally.

This is what I’m thinking: Was Canada ever an independent country? All American politicians treat Canada like a dependent (and Canadian politicians allow it), but Trump is the first one to say it so bluntly — so don’t shoot the messenger (literally). The easy solution — especially when it comes to foreign policy — is, ready for it? Stop allowing it.

Since most people in Western society are only able to see and think what they are told to see and think, here are my brief reactions to the above: Absolutely, Wanda Sykes never should have raised war criminal Kamala Harris’ campaign and how she’ll “do everything in her power to get her elected”. I don’t want Palestinian babies to be slaughtered, which, according to Reaction #2ers, makes someone a “Hamas supporter”. So, as they admit, this makes them advocates for baby killing. In case you don’t believe me, look at their public reactions to babies getting slaughtered.

Breaking news! International outrage! Someone spraypainted a politician’s office with a message (oh my God, what did it say?!) …condemning genocide and the politician for actively enabling it. Of course, Western politicians and their obedient media condemn the graffiti, not the genocide. They have inexplicably “perfected” their faux outrage routines as the public – that is either too lazy, stupid or callous to realize it – soaks up their crocodile tears and turns a blind eye to mass murder committed by the supposed human rights “defenders”. For the sake of clarity, which is probably necessary for most in the Western public, Israel is committing genocide in Palestine.

How are Western TV news anchors able to sit at their desks, with a straight face and with no remorse, and broadcast news that enables rampant human rights violations and glorifies mass murder? Are they evil, selfish or just plain stupid? When they report news of a country carpet-bombing civilians, with almost half of the slaughtered being children, the next words that come out of the journalist's mouth cannot be that the country committing genocide "has the right to defend itself". Nobody is that stupid.

Published in The Hill Times, Canada’s leading newspaper for political news and analysis — But what happens when Canada enables current Nazi attacks on an ethnic group? As per Canadian foreign policy, it depends on the ethnic group, followed by Canadian politicians turning to their American bosses to determine their public reaction and, even more importantly, their continued action. For decades, Canada has declared a specific ethnic group expendable and has notoriously pursued a policy aimed at its eradication. That group is Macedonians.

There is a foolish perception amongst politicians, academics and journalists throughout the West and beyond, which has persisted for more than three decades — and that is that Macedonia will one day join the European Union if “such and such” is done beforehand.

Op-ed by MHRMI President Bill Nicholov (with the title US Politicians Don’t Have the Right to Dictate Macedonia’s Future) published in Truthout, an influential US nonprofit news organization — In May, Senator Chris Murphy tapped into the endless flow of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fly to the Western Balkans, with a stop in the Republic of Macedonia to implore (read: threaten) Macedonians to adopt a “simple constitutional amendment” in order to “stay on the path to join the European Union.” But why does a senator from Connecticut care if Macedonia joins the EU? As a member of the interventionist U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it is Sen. Murphy’s job to ensure that the prospective member-state remains under the West’s control, specifically, U.S. control. But all U.S. politicians, not just those like Murphy specifically tasked to do so, seemingly take an oath to pledge allegiance to U.S. foreign interventionism.

Picture the United States as a murderer (it shouldn't be difficult). Uncle Sam murders someone, the evidence is overwhelming, witnesses abound, he confesses, and it's even caught on video. But Uncle Sam won't be tried for murder — he'll be celebrated as a champion of human rights and democracy instead. This is the USA's interventionist and murderous foreign policy M.O. transparently veiled as "US diplomacy".
