THE RINJ FOUNDATION
MEDIA RELEASE - June 11, 2014
Boycott Washington Post. Stop
advertising in the 'Post'.
"Women do not covet sexual victimization. Cancel all advertising
until such time as the 'Post' exhibits a more rape-adverse moral
compass, adopting a more realistic and law abiding approach to the topic
of rape and apologizes to all rape survivors for it's cavalier attitude
toward their pain and suffering." The RINJ Foundation
(06/11/2014) -
In a post to the Washington
Post's Facebook Page The
RINJ Foundation declared that "it's
time now to cope with the leadership of rape culture".
Setting out
some background The
RINJ Foundation's post explained some of the reasons for its collective
anger at the news paper which it describes as a 'beacon to the world'.
"Around the
world our volunteers are
taking kids out of hanging trees; begging for surgery for dozens of
scorched and tortured rape victims; counseling broken women; and trying
to end the 1 million-kids-per year blossoming child sex trade.
"We have thousands of young, energetic, active supporters all around the
world.
They
will soon be briefed about a new mission in the USA where
a global beacon, a newspaper, is being hijacked by certain of it's
'neo-con' writers to promote a systemic misogyny that bolsters the hopes
of rapists (for a carte blanche on their crime) and brings fear to women
and children.
"The RINJ
Foundation has NGO workers in Syria (http://rinj.org/interactive/?page_id=476)
trying to gather evidence for war crimes tribunals meanwhile in North
America, in the NWO Capitol, rape is being promoted with cavalier
disregard."
Bringing home
the timing of recent disparaging remarks made
by Washington Post columnist George Will against campus rape survivors,
the Foundation's post reminded readers of a scandalous rape of two
children in India.
"As we urge men
in northern India not to rape and
take two raped and murdered kids down from a mango tree, The Washington
Post adduces bafflegab about women coveting the status of 'victimhood'
[sic]."
The RINJ Foundation has been very effective in
the past with
its boycotts and yesterday announced a Boycott of the Washington Post (http://rinj.org/511/)
encouraging advertisers to pull their ads.
"Just like we
did with Facebook three years ago,"
the posting reads, "until it dropped its rape pages and attached
$millions in ad revenues, we'll badger WP advertisers until they start
pulling ads and shifting their campaigns to other papers and media. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook...)"
WP Op-Ed Fred
Hiatt said he wanted to start a discussion using
George Will's misogyny as fodder. The RINJ Foundation advances that rape
is unacceptable -- no discussion.
"Safety for
women and children in all settings, in all parts of this world must
live up to its promise," the RINJ post goes on.
"We urge our
corporate friends to cancel all advertising in the Washington Postuntil
such time as the 'Post' exhibits a more rape-adverse moral compass,
adopting a more realistic and law abiding approach to the topic of rape
and apologizes to all rape survivors for it's cavalier attitude toward
their pain and suffering."
