Andrew X:

While you’re correct, I think you give this guy too much credit for sincerity.

This is just another in a long line of contrived, greivance-hustling shakedowns — part of a deliberate effort to game the West’s legal and media institutions to silence critics and cow opponents.

It’s little different than the guilt-tripping charlatans and hustlers we pay to pan-handle and mau-mau us at the UN.

Or the gangsters posing as statesmen from police states who lecture us about ‘international law’.

Or all the yammering about ‘social justice’ coming from incompetent kleptocrats who loot third world basket case nations and run them like organized crime concessions.

Nothing but a racket.

And, of course, since our so-called leadership classes no longer possess the street smarts to tell when they’re being snookered, they fall for this stuff every single time.
