On the difference between bogus and science – a reply to Sirpa Pietikäinen and Sophie in ‘t Veld
Why can’t those nasty conservatives not just be reverently silent when the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) solemnly pontificates on “LGBT discrimination”? Why can’t they stop using critical thought?? Some days ago I reported on the “LGBT Survey” conducted by the FRA, calling it “bogus research yielding bogus results”. This has aroused the anger and [...]
EU Fundamental Rights Agency: bogus “LGBT Survey” yields bogus result
The Vienna-based EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) is expected to publish this week the result of a so-called “LGBT-Survey” that already at the time when it was conducted has provoked serious criticism with regard to its profoundly unscientific and manipulative approach. As observers (including this blog) warned, the study seemed set to become an instrument [...]
Grotesque: EU Fundamental Rights Agency fabricates data on “LGBT discrimination”
Allegedly it was Winston Churchill who said: “Never believe statistics you haven’t made up yourself.” The EU Fundamental Rights Agency provides us these days with a brilliant example how to use bogus surveys and statistics in order to manipulate the public opinion. And while doing so, they provide the 70%-government-owned bogus NGO “ILGA Europe” with [...]
EU Fundamental Rights Agency: Director Morten Kjaerum involved in fraud scandal
The Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR), which was headed by Morten Kjaerum prior to his current posting as Director of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, is currently at the focus of a major corruption scandal. Allegedly, the Institute has used fraudulent accounting practices to conceal that it spent over three million Danish crowns on [...]
The EU lobbies itself on gay rights: is ILGA-Europe an “unofficial” EU Agency??
ILGA is an international gay rights lobby, which organises all the major “Gay Pride” manifestations around the world and promotes an extremist agenda (full recognition of same-sex marriage everywhere around the globe, adoption rights for gay people, social benefits to reward being gay, gagging order legislation against possible opponents such as Christians and Muslims….). Very [...]

Exciting news from the Central European nation of Hungary, where the new government under Prime Minister Viktor Orban has adopted a new constitution which is expected to be ratified by Hungary’s President on April 25 and come into force at the beginning of 2012. The new constitution is significant in several ways. First, it is [...]
Opposition to Proposed Moldovan Law Grows
On February 17, 2011 the Moldovan government adopted proposed anti-discrimination legislation which it purported to do on the basis of harmonizing its laws with existing EU Directives and Regulations. The premise behind the proposed legislation is to further Moldova’s aspirations of becoming an EU Member State and have its EU visa restrictions lifted. Upon closer [...]
EU: Study on Conflicts between new and old “Fundamental Rights”
I recommend to yor attention a recent study that was written by two legal experts of the masonic Université Libre de Bruxelles and financed by the European Commission. It deals with the “search of a balance between the right of equality and other fundamental rights”. The paper is illustrative of the chaotic status of contemporary [...]
Regulating “Hate Speech” – an Incremental Approach to Implementing the Yogyakarta Agenda?
My colleague Roger Kiska recently posted on his participation in last week’s “Expert Workshop on the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred,” sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Vienna. The workshop was the first in a series on the interplay between Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political [...]
Fundamental Wrong Agency
I had the pleasure recently of attending the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Expert Workshop on the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred in Vienna. With very low expectations coming in I had anticipated the event to be a free-for-all lobby on behalf of hate speech activists’ promotion of the banning of Islamaphobia and [...]
