UN Climate Advisor & Time Mag’s ‘Women Of The Year’ declares ‘the climate crisis’ is ‘not just manmade, it’s white manmade’ – ‘A result of capitalism, years of colonialism, years of racial oppression’

UN climate advisor Ayisha Siddiqa (also Time Mag’s 2023 Woman of the Year): “The climate crisis is manmade. And it’s not just manmade, it’s white manmade. (applause) It is a result of capitalism, years of colonialism, years of racial oppression. And so if you want to get involved, the way that we save our planet is when we protect the most vulnerable communities among us. And this includes black trans women. This includes indigenous people. This is why it includes children and young people, because when we protect them, we can protect everybody else.”

Time Mag: Ayisha Siddiqa Is Making the World Think Differently About Climate Action

UN touts Aysisha Siddiqa as Time Mag’s ‘Woman of the Year’ for 2023: The Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change provides him with practical and outcome-focused advice, diverse youth perspectives and concrete recommendations, with a clear focus on accelerating the implementation of his climate action agenda.

UN secretary-general youth climate adviser calls for Whites to be stripped of power in ‘revolutionary fights’ – ‘Racial harmony is a fallacy,’ said United Nations climate adviser Ayisha Siddiqa

Ayisha is definitely racist.

The radical Left has to have an oppressor to berate, and a victim to defend, so this time around, it is the white guy who is the bad guy and everyone else is a victim of the white guy.

It’s part of the Divide-and-Conquer strategy of the radical Left. This kind of hate is what is being taught to children in our schools. Ayisha probably learned this hate at her school.

Not until the Greek Alexander knocked off the Egyptians & SW Asia around 350 BC was the “White men” in charge of more than half the territory. Then the Romans followed around 175 BC, just taking over what the Greeks already ruled. They lasted, being cut down by the Goths & Visi-Goths in 300 until Attila the Hun & Attila became the next major players in 450. Then Mohammed got the boys up and running between 600 to 750.

She is absolutely right that many white males of European ancestry have much to answer for, in terms of the mistreatment and exploitation of black and brown people, and of women, through history.

Where she is wrong is her, and others’, stopping of the historical analysis at that point. It ignores the complicity of all manner of people in the crimes of history. Arabs were active participants in the African slave trade. Despots in Africa, India and Asia have repeatedly subjugated and abused their own people, with no help needed from Europe or America. There are plenty of of white people who had nothing to do with that oppression, and many were oppressed themselves.

Furthermore, I doubt Ms. Siddiqa is willing to live without the cultural and scientific advances that accompanied European and American civilization. From Britain’s efforts to end the slave trade to current campaigns against female genital mutilation, there have been forces at work in the West for good as well as evil. The amount of freedom and number of functioning democracies now compared to 200 years ago is a heartening example of Western advances. And in the realm of science, you can thank a lot of dead white males for life-changing discoveries in medicine, public sanitation, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing – you name it. Ms. Siddiqa leads a life of relative ease because of the inventions that were discovered and the energy that was created by Western civilization.

There’s a lot this old white male is still learning about the evils of slavery, the mistreatment of women, and the positive contributions of other civilizations, that have been ignored too long. I’m willing to hear and consider criticism of what is being done in my name today. But to think that is all of the story, or more than just a small part of it, is wrong. And counterproductive.

The central point that brings a pertinent understanding to it all, is that the culturally-derived bad actions (slavery, etc.) were universal.

The culturally-derived consciously good actions are pretty much entirely in the province of the West and the Enlightenment.

18th Century England consciously spent large treasure ending the slave trade. The first consciously altruistic action ever carried out by any society anywhere at any time.

Maybe the 1000 Plataeans coming to the aid of the 10,000 of Athens marching off to meet the Persian army at Marathon counts.

Arabs were active participants in the African slave trade. Despots in Africa, India and Asia have repeatedly subjugated and abused their own people…

Its actually rather worse than this. The trans-Saharan slave trade was entirely Arab, and several times the size of the trans-Atlantic trade. It was also practiced with crude genital mutilation of the male slaves, a practice accompanied by very high death rates. There were also high death rates from the conditions of travel, even without that.

The trans-Atlantic trade was cruel and accompanied by high death rates on the passage, and treatment on the far side was also cruel – as slavery always has been. But anyone studying the historical record will have to conclude that the trans-Saharan trade was decidedly worse, both in its scale and its practices. If reparations for slavery are to be paid to African states, the Islamic regimes of the Middle East should be major contributors.

There was also another Arab slave trade, raids on British coastal villages by galleys from the North African states, and a slave trade in Northern Europeans where the Arab traders handled one part of the transport. The North African kingdoms had a rude awakening from the British and American navies in the early 1800s, which put an end to their raids and piracy.

The question to ask is also, where did the trans-Atlantic traders get their slaves? And the sad answer is, no, they didn’t go raiding in the jungles, they bought them from African kingdoms who made slave raiding a vital part of their economy. Dahomey was the African centre of the trans-Atlantic trade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Kingdom_of_Dahomey

That the trade came to an end is almost entirely due to Britain. There was first the celebrated case of Somerset v. Stewart (1772), with the classic often quoted remarks of Justice Mansfield:

The state of slavery is of such a nature, that it is incapable of now being introduced by Courts of Justice upon mere reasoning or inferences from any principles, natural or political; it must take its rise from positive law; the origin of it can in no country or age be traced back to any other source: immemorial usage preserves the memory of positive law long after all traces of the occasion; reason, authority, and time of its introduction are lost; and in a case so odious as the condition of slaves must be taken strictly, the power claimed by this return was never in use here; no master ever was allowed here to take a slave by force to be sold abroad because he had deserted from his service, or for any other reason whatever; we cannot say the cause set forth by this return is allowed or approved of by the laws of this kingdom, therefore the black must be discharged.

The exact nature of the legal precedent set by this judgment is disputed, but in practical terms it led to the general contemporary view that slavery was not a lawful state in England.

There followed, after much agitation by the Evangelical movement, the abolition of the slave trade in 1807, and then the abolition of slavery in all British possessions. But there was far more than this. To abolish the slave trade required seizure of ships engaged in it. To this end the British persuaded other nations to agree to having ships registered in their countries seized. The West Africa squadron was stationed off the West Coast of Africa for many decades. The British fought a war with Dahomey to abolish that country’s trading. They also suppressed the trans-Saharan trade in the late nineteenth century in their expanding possession in East Africa.

These efforts were enormously expensive, both in money and in lives, and only partly successful – there are particular questions about the way in which the return of the freed slaves to Africa was managed. Still, any reasonable inspection of the record, making allowance for the technology and resources of the period, would have to say this was a humanitarian effort on a scale of which there are few if any other examples in history.

Also worth mentioning is one fundamental difference between the Arabic and Western slave trade – in the West there are millions of descendants of slaves but in the Arab world there are none whatsoever. Arabic slaves were killed when they were no longer useful, their children killed at birth or worked until they were no longer useful, none survived.

Missing is the Atlantic slave trade was created by the Pope in Rome who issued letters to Portugal to exploit the Atlantic African coast including suppression and exploitation of the native populations.

An aside tidbit, 95% of the Atlantic slave shipments went to Brazil. Only 5% went to the USA which by Constitution could not import slaves after 1806 (I think I got the year right).

markm
Reply to  Sparta Nova 4
April 12, 2024 4:28 pm

The constitution said that Congress could not ban the importation of slaves until 1808. In February 1807, Congress passed a law against importing slaves, effective Jan 1, 1808; they banned it on the first day they could. Also in February 1807, Parliament banned the cross-Atlantic slave trade, also effective Jan 1, 1808. I can’t find anything about coordination between the two…

These laws did not end slavery in the USA or the British colonies. Slavery was illegal in the British Isles and legal in the colonies until the 1830’s – but it still was a big change from the time that a British governor vetoed an act by the colonial Massachusetts legislature banning slavery.

Enforcement of the bans was spotty; the British Navy had substantial forces patrolling the African coast, but keeping a constant patrol on a distant coast with sailing ships was impossible so smugglers could get through. The US had very few ships to add to this, and the will to prosecute those that were caught landing slaves was sometimes missing. But the British Navy off Africa and the American officials that did do their job on our shores added a substantial risk of slavers losing their ship and cargo and maybe spending time in jail. It might make a difference to the calculations of a merchant captain considering the African slave trade, and the number of Africans kidnapped to sell to the new world decreased substantially.

American enforcement was poor for quite a while. But by the late 1850’s, the American slave-smuggling voyages known to history were down to about one a year. IIRC, two of the last ones were burned on American shores to destroy the evidence, with many of the slaves escaping; that must have been quite a financial loss. In the very last one, the captain must have concealed that it was a slave voyage while hiring crew. When they learned that in the mid-Atlantic, they mutinied and turned back to America. Those backers got their ship back, so they were only out the cost of outfitting for a voyage and whatever they paid the crew up front, but that could not have been cheap.

A first class summary, thanks Michel.

The Arabs also slaved down the coast of East Africa, and took slaves in India. They also raided as far northeast as the Caucasus, raided for slaves all along the Mediterranean coast and into the Atlantic as far north as Ireland.

The Crusades were the response of Europe to 200 years of incessant raids and slave-taking.

The North African Muslim states took more Europeans as slaves than the number of African slaves deported to North America.

Europeans didn’t round up the slaves. They were part of “trade goods” on offer from dominant tribes who raided neighboring weaker tribes. They were brought to seaside ports and accumulated in trading stations. Historically, slave coffles were herded across the Sahara in the Middle Ages to the Eastern Mediterranean customers. Hausaland (Eastern sahel – Northern Nigeria, Niger, etc. even had an embassy the Arab worldin the 11th century to promote and facilitate trade in slaves, West African gold etc.

Here we go! Just imagine . . . a spokeswoman for the United Nations—with the United States being its largest funding nation—intentionally playing the race card, and not being called-out for it.

It’s high past time for the USA to defund the mostly-useless UN.

De-fund it, but also deport and cancel the diplomatic passports of:

-All UN employees that cannot account for the money under their control, or espouse racism, antisemitism, terrorism, war crimes, and other human rights violations.

-All representatives of nations that sponsor terrorism, oppose proper fiscal controls on the UN budget, lack free elections, fail to protect freedom of speech and the press, voted to put human rights violators on the human rights council, etc.

-Also, everyone who uses his diplomatic passport to violate parking and traffic ordinances.

And _do not allow replacements_ for these personnel.

Actually it doesn’t matter. As written, Scotland’s new hate law has extra-territorial reach. If someone in Scotland reads her words and feels, well, hated, they can make a complaint to the police, and the police have promised to investigate every report. And because of the way the UK is constituted, even flying into England, to say Heathrow, she could be detained for questioning.

In principle.

I doubt that would ever happen.

I am actually more annoyed by Scotland’s silly law. We are erecting the apparatus for a police state so we’re only one dud election away from getting it.

The Hate Crime Law is ambiguous. It can mean different things to different people. It is made to order for totalitarian governance.

Why are the people of Scotland electing communists?

I think I’m related to a king of Scotland. James, but I’m not sure of the number.

J.K. Rowling just posted an anti-nonsense-gender text (men are men and women are women) and told the authorities to lock her up. They were stuck in a bad place: either they could arrest her or ignore the tweet (X). They chose to ignore her tweet (X). People with power can ridicule these stupid laws. A win is a win even if she is a stupid liberal.

Hey, “advisor” Ayisha Siddiqa, please get a clue:

1) The government of the United States continued to be UN-agency UNICEF’s largest supporter in 2022, providing $1,286 billion USD in funding. 
— source: https://www.unicef.org/partnerships/united-states-america

2) For many years, the USA has also been one of the largest donors to the UN-agency World Health Organization. In 2020-21, it was the third largest, having invested approximately US$ 700 million. More than 65% of that sum was voluntary funding – money the USA donated on top of its annual membership dues.
— source: https://www.who.int/about/funding/contributors/usa
Incidentally, the second largest donor to WHO in 2020-2021, just ahead of the USA, was the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, having $67.3 billion USD available for charity purposes around the world as of 2022 . . . you know that worldwide charity founded by a self-made “rich white guy” and his “white” wife.

You may not know this, but a very large amount of the USA taxpayers that send in the monies to enable the above actions, as well as to fund the US military and other relief organizations that distribute food, medicines and medical treatments, and education freely to third-world countries around the globe are “white”.

Now, you were spouting off something about “years of colonialism, years of racial oppression” . . .

My favorite Tim Blair law is –

“nothing ‘green’ ever works properly’

And just to prove this, I recently had correspondence with a brewery and their ‘plant-based’ 6-pack beer cans holders.

Their holders held the can alright – Arnie Schwarzenegger couldn’t get the buggers out.

The brewery suggested all kinds of manipulations to get the cans out of the holders.

I eventually said – I don’t need this much of a fight to get my evening beer down my gullet.

How about the “climate crisis” that led to the retreat of the glaciers covering much of northern North America and Eurasia starting some 10-12,000 years ago? Was that white manmade? Maybe they were burning too much wood roasting wooly mammoths instead of just living off the native plants and grains. Incidentally, in case Ms. Siddiqa hasn’t noticed it, almost 40% of current global emissions are originating in China and India these days and the greatest degree of coal consumption is in Africa and southeast Asia. Could it be that the white population in those places is much greater than anyone has realized?

Wiki: Ayisha Siddiqa: BS in Political Science and English from Hunter College, NY (2021). She describes herself as a socialist with Marxist leanings.

From her dress, she is also a devout Muslim.

So, let’s see: as regards climate — or science in general — she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She merits zero attention.

As regards her politics, she advocates a failed and murderous totalitarian system. She opposes individual freedom, including (especially) of speech and of conscience, but also of travel. And she has no problem with large-scale political murder and righteously imposed poverty.

As a Muslim she abases women has having half the intelligence of men, and that a raped woman must marry her rapist, absent two Muslim men to testify on her behalf.

She also claims a divine right to violently capture and keep slaves, including sex slaves (which include castrated boys), and the right to murder apostates, atheists, and any who oppose the imposition of Islam and Islamic law (Sharia).

She is, and her ilk are, as a blight upon the land.

And then Time names her as woman of the year.

I name Sam Jacobs as malefactor of the year. Odious. Utterly despicable.
