I am very honored to state that I was asked to be a part of a documentary about Jackson-Vanik amendment. Henry Kissinger will be a part of this documentary

Posted on | July 22, 2012 | 3 Comments

This documentary is planned to be released close to 40 year anniversary of Jackson-Vanik 1974 amendment. This amendment tied US-Soviet trade relations to lifting of the iron curtain and release of dissidents. Since then 1.2 million left the Soviet Union and settled in the West. The documentary will feature prominent immigrants and U.S. politicians who made this modern day exodus possible.

I am extremely proud that I was asked to be a part of this movie. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is scheduled to be a part of the movie. Just to be in the same documentary with the former Secretary of State is a great honor for an immigrant like myself, who came to this country with one suit case and a couple of dresses.

PS Here are some interesting points on Jackson Vanik amendment:

Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky wrote in his 2004 book The Case for Democracy:

“…Kissinger saw Jackson’s amendment as an attempt to undermine plans to smoothly carve up the geopolitical pie between the superpowers. It was. Jackson believed that the Soviets had to be confronted, not appeased. Andrei Sakharov was another vociferous opponent of détente. He thought it swept the Soviet’s human rights record under the rug in the name of improved superpower relations…. One message he would consistently convey to these foreigners (the press) was that human rights must never be considered a humanitarian issue alone. For him, it was also a matter of international security. As he succinctly put it: “A country that does not respect the rights of its own people will not respect the rights of its neighbors.” (p.3)

 

[edit] Relevancy

Jackson-Vanik is still in force and applies to Russia, among other countries. Critics of the amendment argue that with the end of the Cold War, Jackson-Vanik is a now merely counterproductive trade discrimination.

In 2011, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden urged a repeal of the law.[3]

[edit] Jackson-Vanik and the People’s Republic of China

Until the accession of the PRC to the World Trade Organization in December 2001 the PRC was covered by the provisions of Jackson-Vanik. Although the President of the United States, starting in the late 1970s, used the waiver provisions of the amendment to grant normal trade relations trade status, the existence of the amendment meant that there was a congressional effort to overturn this waiver each year, creating a yearly controversy especially during the 1990s after the Tiananmen protests of 1989. Congress specifically removed the PRC from coverage by Jackson-Vanik in the late 1990s as part of its entry into the World Trade Organization, as the provisions of Jackson-Vanik were inconsistent with WTO rules.

    Orly:

    I really love most of what you are doing; however, sometimes you act like your head is on backwards… Kissenger is the poster boy for all that you are supposedly against, of all the evil encompassed by the corporate elite and their goal for the destruction of our Constitution and all individual rights and freedoms. Ask any Vietnam vet who knows anything about our POWs and Kissenger’s role in writing off hundreds if not thousands of known POWs, and maybe you’ll get an idea of how utterly corrupt this miserable sob is. Honored to be associated with him? You ought to be sickened by the very thought of having anything to do with him.

    I am no saying that I agree with everything Kissinger did, I am saying that it is an honor to be in a documentary together with a sec of state of the US. That is all

    Orly, I would bow and kiss your hand. On the other hand, if Kissinger was on fire, I wouldn’t urinate on him.
