Time to play the Gay, Jew, Holocaust Card! Stephen Fry calls Putin the new Hitler — and anyone else opposed to LGBT “culture”
Actor, comedian and all-round British ‘national treasure’ Stephen Fry has weighed into the debate on the staging of the Winter Olympics in Russia.
There have been calls for the games to be moved from the country over the passing of measures, signed into law by Vladimir Putin, which criminalise the dissemination of information about homosexuality to minors.
The laws introduce fines of up to 5,000 rubles (€113) for citizens who engage in “gay propaganda,” and critics fear the measures could legitimize homophobia.
The bill has sparked controversy ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, and raised concerns that visiting gay athletes and spectators could face discrimination or even legal action.
In a passionate open letter on the issue, Fry compares Putin’s treatment of the LGBT community to Hitler’s treatment of Jews in 1930s Germany, and calls for the games to be moved to “Utah, Lillyhammer” or “anywhere you like”.
The full letter – addressed to Prime Minister David Cameron, President of the International Olympics Committee Jacques Rogge, British Olympic Association boss Sebastian Coe and other members of the IOC – is republished below in full…
OBSERVATION: The ideology of antifascism became by the late 20th century a form of negative legitimacy for the entire West… Western European political elites went a step further; in order to show to their American sponsors democratic credentials and their philo-Semitic attitudes, they introduced strict legislation forbidding historical revisionism of the Second World War and any critical study of mass immigration into Western Europe…
At the beginning of the 21st century, the whole intellectual climate in America and especially in Europe came to resemble the medieval period by forbidding critical inquiry into “self-evident truths”… The German Criminal Code appears in substance more repressive than the former Soviet Criminal Code… Day after day Germany has to prove that it can perform self-educational tasks better than its American tutor. It must show signs of being the most servile disciple of the American hegemon, given that the “transformation of the German mind (was) the main home work of the military regime.” If one wishes to grasp the concept of modern political correctness, one must study in detail the political psychology of the traumatized German people…
Given that all signs of nationalism, let alone racialism, are reprimanded in Germany… it is considered legally desirable to hunt down European heretics… Germany, along with other European countries, has now evolved into a “secular theocracy”… Similar to Communism, historical truth in Western Europe is not established by an open academic debate but by state legislation… The entire West, including America itself, has become a victim of collective guilt…
Thus the ruling class in America and Europe successfully resorts to the scarecrow of debate stopping words, such as “anti-Semitism” and “Neo-Nazism,” as an alibi for legitimizing its perpetual status quo. The specter of a projected catastrophic scenario must silence all free spirits. Naturally, if fascism is legally decreed as absolute evil, any aberration in the liberal system will automatically appear as a lesser evil. The modern liberal system, which originated in America, functions as a self-perpetuating machine of total mind control.
