Jewish Invention Myths: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Our next ‘jewish invention’ is yet another case of a jew plagiarising the work of a non-jew then claiming it as their own and then trying to ensure that history remembers them for the work of that non-jew.

 

This is the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and the jews claim as follows:

 

‘René Samuel Cassin – Universal Declaration of Human Rights

 

Lawyer René Cassin was one of the main authors of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Based on a list of rights drafted by Canadian law professor John Humphrey, Cassin prepared the first complete draft of the text, creating its structure and including the preamble and core principles.’ (1)

 

Cassin – a jewish lawyer, academic and a close confederate of Charles de Gaulle’s ‘Free French’ for whom he drafted the legal states of ‘Free France’ and later the President of the ‘Alliance Israelite Universelle’ – didn’t in fact write ‘the first complete draft of the text, creating its structure and including the preamble and core principles’ but rather this was the Canadian academic and lawyer John Humphrey. (2) Cassin even acknowledged this at the time in 1947-1948. (3)

 

However, by 1958 Cassin had changed his tune and began to dishonestly claim that Humphrey’s work was his own as Morsink explains:

 

‘Comparing the Humprey and Cassin texts I found only three completely new articles: 28, 30, and 44. Cassin took all the other ones either in whole or in part from Humphrey’s so-called outline. He did what he was supposed do and – through the marginal notations – gave Humphrey the credit he deserved. By my rough calculation three-quarters of the Cassin draft was taken from Humphrey’s first draft.

 

Cassin clearly overstated his role when in a 1958 lecture he explained he had been “charged by his colleagues to draft, upon my sole responsibility, a first rough draft” of the Declaration. Humphrey was right when he went public in his memoirs with something he had known all along, namely that “Cassin’s new text reproduced my own in most of its essentials and style.” Since so much of the Cassin rewrites came directly from the original Humphrey draft, it makes no sense to say that Cassin ever made an independent draft of the declaration.’ (3)

 

What Morsink is saying here – in classic reserved academic prose – is that Cassin added very little in his second draft to what became the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and while he originally (and correctly) credited Humphrey’s first draft in the marginal notes of his 1947-1948 second draft, but 1958 Cassin had begun to outright lie about his role in drafting the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and claimed all of Humphrey’s work as is his own engaging in what amounts of plagiarism.

 

It is all the more calling because Humphrey didn’t out Cassin at the time but instead simply corrected the record in his memoirs – published in 1984 – and left it at that while Cassin falsely claimed Humphrey’s work between 1958 and his death in 1976.

 

Thus, we can see that not only is the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ not a ‘jewish invention’ but rather the jew credited with ‘inventing it’ by other jews (Cassin) in fact knowingly stole the credit from a non-jew (Humphrey) and passed it off as his own work for nearly two decades.

Jewish Invention Myths – Water Chlorination

 

Source: https://www.renegadetribune.com/jewish-invention-myths-water-chlorination

 

by Karl Radl

 

One of the odder ‘jewish invention’ claims that I have found is the claim that jews ‘invented water chlorination’ with the jew being credited being one Abel Wolman. (1)

 

Now for those who don’t know water chlorination is a process by which water is partially or fully sterilized by adding in a small amount of what is effectively chlorine bleach to it.

 

This claim that Wolman – he was actually born Abel Wachsman Wolman not Abel Wolman – is rather silly because all Wolman did was co-invent a way to standardize the amount of chlorine in drinking water in 1919 and even then, he didn’t invent it alone but rather did so with the non-jewish American engineer and chemist Linn Enslow in 1919. (2)

 

The interesting thing is that there is a much better jewish candidate for being the inventor of water chlorination in the form of the German jewish chemist Isidore Traube who published a paper in 1894 on how water chlorination could render water ‘germ free’. (3)

 

The problem with this of course is that water chlorination – explicitly for the purpose of rendering water ‘germ free’ – had already been invented six years before by an American scientist named Albert Leeds in 1888 and successfully applied for a patent for a process to chlorinate water using electrolysis and hydrochloric acid, while his idea was further taken forward by the American sanitary engineer William Jewell who subsequently conducted the first test using chlorine alone to disinfect water in Kentucky in 1896. (4)

 

This in turn led to the much better-known early ventures into water chlorination in the town of Maidstone in England in 1897 and the English city of Lincoln in 1905, while it was exported to India in 1903 and was first used in anger in the United States in Jersey City in 1908.

 

Thus we can see that water chlorination is not a ‘jewish invention’ at all but rather an American one.
