Pope Benedict XVI at the UN; conspiracy theorists’ heads explode!

NAZI POPE ARRIVES IN USA FOR PAGAN BLACK MASS ON HITLER’S BIRTHDAY

This entry was posted on 4/16/2008 8:03 PM and is filed under Conspiracy News.

Of course, it’s not Hitler’s birthday, but facts have never interfered with the madness of conspiracy theorists. Nevermind the “Nazi” Pope fantasy or the “pagan black mass.” LOL. Gaze at the lunacy.

No use commenting on any of that insanity; it’s just fun to watch. :)

Back in reality: the UN does suck, but I guess I can have hope that he may have a positive influence on that despicable, hateful body of corruption. Maybe he’ll inspire someone there to at least think. If you ask me, though, they aren’t fit to even speak his name, much less have the honor of hosting him.

~~I’ll update this post later with highlights.~~

UPDATE — Some key readings:

Be sure to keep up with The Anchoress and The Deacon’s Bench for some excellent analysis.

“You have used weapons of mass destruction before. We are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.”

Who said this?

Together, we must confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons and the outlaw states, terrorists, and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his nation’s wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. The United Nations weapons inspectors have done a truly remarkable job finding and destroying more of Iraq’s arsenal than was destroyed during the entire Gulf war. Now Saddam Hussein wants to stop them from completing their mission.

I know I speak for everyone in this chamber, Republicans and Democrats, when I say to Saddam Hussein, “You cannot defy the will of the world,” and when I say to him, “You have used weapons of mass destruction before. We are determined to deny you the capacity to use them again.”

The answer is here. (See the comments as well.)

Via the Anchoress, who has more.

The Religion of Peace™ has a content warning!

Another Day Goes By:

A music video with pictures from the worldwide islamofascist uprising. It is not meant to insult Islam, but to show the horror of people using a religion as excuse for their sick death cult. If you are a muslim and feel insulted, please answer this question: What have you done today to stop terror? (BTW: The music was recorded by a guy from Australia, who wants to remain anonymous. He is afraid of the Religion of Peace.)

Content warning: Graphic violence. Not like you didn’t already know.

UN-Happy Birthday

It was sixty-one years ago on October 24, 1945 that the United Nations came into existence as an instrument of peace with a vision to make the world a better place for succeeding generations - a world where nations are at peace with one another, where people’s human rights are protected, where the equal rights of men and women are guaranteed, where the rule of law is observed and respected, and social progress and better standards of life are ensured for all.

Sadly, the United Nations has not only failed miserably, but has become a protector of terrorists and a supporter of the regimes which breed them.

When the President of the United States spoke to the United Nations in October of 2004, he spoke of the need for change and called for a new course of action against the threat of terrorism, to stop the killing of school children in Russia, the beheading of construction workers in Iraq, the murder by suicide bombers. He spoke of how, rather than engineers, doctors, scientists and social workers, the Muslim world has become the world’s largest exporter of hatred and murder. He spoke of how Muslim equality for women has emerged under the guise of female suicide bombers. He spoke of the consequences of terrorism that have been perpetuated by the Muslim world for over a decade in New York, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kenya, Tanzania, and Bali, Jakarta, Moscow, Madrid and Istanbul.

The President urged action against terrorism, admitting that “for too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability.” He promised to implement the radical changes that would lead to freedom, to take the fight to the enemy instead of waiting for them to come to us. He acknowledged that it would not be easy and he urged the world to unite in the effort.

What effect could such powerful words have when most of those oppressors, most of those violators of human rights and decency, most of those dictators that our President was referring to in his speech sat before him as members in good standing of the United Nations?

Sitting on UN Commission on Human Rights are some of the world’s worst mass murderers and violators of the very human rights they are supposed to protect, including Cameroon, China, Congo (DRC), Cuba, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The Chairman of the Commission is one of the worst human rights offenders, Libya. These are the very same human rights violators that the Commission is supposed to investigate and expose.

No wonder, then, that the UN has failed to even criticize China’s human rights violations, failed to even discuss slave labor when the former Soviet Union existed, failed to even consider the sale of white women and children in Saudi Arabia, failed to investigate the denial of the most basic human rights to women in Asia and Arab countries, and failed to examine the slave trade in Arab countries.

The Commission voted against “special observation” of Zimbabwe’s violations of human rights; and voted for the upgrading of the human rights status of Sudan, even while its dictatorship committed genocide against its southern black Christians, carried on slavery, and approved of systematic rape.

Consider the actions of Commission member Cuba. Castro had thrown into prison seventy-five dissidents, including journalists and librarians; and it had executed three men who hijacked a ferryboat to escape from this communist hellhole. No matter. The Commission reelected Cuba to another three-year term, “undoubtedly a recognition of the Cuban Revolution’s work in human rights in favor of all our people,” so Cuba proclaimed.

Ever careful to protect itself and its member dictatorships, the UN went so far as to terminate its relationship with the free speech organization Reporters Without Borders after it criticized the UN’s human rights record. Reporters Without Borders had the audacity to suggest reforms that included the restricting of voting by dictatorships and claimed “that granting the chair to Qadhafi’s [Libyan] regime has been a disgrace to the commission.” The Commission voted 27 to 23 to suspend its relationship with the organization. All of the democratic members voted against it.

As Victor Davis Hanson said in the Wall Street Journal, “It is not the same United Nations of decades past, helping the poor nations with hunger, and sending troops around the world to keep the peace. Gone are the days when UNESCO and UNICEF provided selfless service around the world to fight disease and famine. Now it is a political body with a different agenda. Its membership is rife with tyrannies, theocracies and Stalinist regimes.”

Immediately prior to the President’s speech, Kofi Anan declared the Iraq War illegal to a BBC reporter. No surprise, considering that at the time of Iraq’s blatant defiance of the United Nations resolutions on its weapons of mass destruction, one of Saddam Hussein’s henchmen chaired the May sessions of the UN Conference. No surprise considering Kofi Anan’s participation the Oil for Food scandal currently under investigation. No surprise considering the UN was silent while Saddam Hussein starved, tortured, maimed and murdered his own people.

Indeed, the UN was silent while Slobodan Milosevic methodically practiced ethnic cleansing in his country. The UN was silent while the Taliban systematically murdered their own people, repressed all human rights, and enslaved women. The UN was silent while in Rwanda and Burundi, half a million lives were lost in civil war.

The UN was silent while 800,000 people were murdered in 1994 during a systematic genocide organized by the Hutu government, and carried out against the Tutsi minority by its troops, police, and specially trained death squads. In 1999, an independent report condemned the UN’s reluctance to accept evidence of a genocide, and reluctance to act once the genocide was undeniable.

The UN was silent while in North Korea hundreds of thousands have been murdered in the last decade, and possibly three million have been starved to death in a government created famine.

The UN was silent while 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in Srebrenica, Bosnia, during the Bosnian war of 1995. Another UN commissioned report on this asserted that the UN peacekeepers stood by while Serb troops massacred those to whom the UN had promised protection. The UN had refused to reinforce their peacekeepers with enough troops, and even then severely restricted the action of those that were there.

The UN was silent while over three million were killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with UN peacekeepers standing by and watching.

And the UN remains silent through the genocide in Sudan.

By its own admission in the Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operation, the UN recognized that its peacekeeping efforts have failed. It undertook peacekeeping in only a third of the conflicts during the 1990s, and when the UN did do something, it failed or was not effective.

And yet, the UN raises its voice, loud and clear, in consistent and constant condemnation of Israel. In the last few decades, more than half of the UN resolutions passed were against Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel scores as high as the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom on political rights. On civil liberties, Israel scores much higher than the dictatorship members of the UN.

Consider the dictatorships of Algeria, China, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, all of whom are members of the UN Commission on Human Rights. The dictatorship of Egypt is a member of all six UN committees concerned with human rights treaties. The dictatorships of Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan participate on the Governing Council of the International Labor Organization. The bloody dictatorship of Iran is on the five-member UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.

Dictatorships who treat women as second class citizens or slaves like Egypt, Iran, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates are all members of the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

“So Americans’ once gushy support for the U.N. during its adolescence is gone. By the 1970s we accepted at best that it had devolved into a neutral organization in its approach to the West, and by the 1980s sighed that it was now unabashedly hostile to freedom. But in our odyssey from encouragement, to skepticism, and then to hostility, we have now reached the final stage–of indifference. Americans do not get riled easily, so the U.N. will go out with a whimper rather than a bang. Indeed, millions have already shrugged, tuned out, and turned the channel on it.” - Victor Davis Hanson

The United Nations is still investigating about 150 allegations of sexual abuse by its staff and soldiers in the Congo. The charges include accusations of pedophilia, rape and prostitution, some of which have been recorded on videotape.

“I am afraid there is clear evidence that acts of gross misconduct have taken place,” said Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

It has been years since the UN promised a full investigation and to hold those involved accountable, the fact is that the UN has never been open or honest and has been known to ignore evidence in the past – including accusations of rape and murder by “peacekeepers.”

In a June 21, 2004 speech at the Conference on Confronting anti-Semitism: Education for Tolerance and Understanding sponsored by the United Nations Department of Information, human rights scholar and activist Anne Bayefsky made the following points:

- There is only one entire UN Division devoted to a single group of people: the United Nations Division for Palestinian Rights (created in 1977).

- The only UN day dedicated to a specific people is November 29, the annual UN Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

- There is only one refugee agency dedicated to a single refugee situation: UNRWA (in operation since 1950).

- The General Assembly operates through six committees of the whole. One of them, the Fourth Committee, routinely devotes 30 percent of its time to the condemnation of Israel.

- The General Assembly emergency sessions… began in 1956, and since then six of the ten emergency sessions ever held, have been about Israel. The 10th such session began in 1997 and has been reconvened 13 times. One might think that a million dead in Rwanda or two million dead in Sudan might have warranted one General Assembly emergency session.

- The UN’s primary human-rights body is the UN Human Rights Commission. 30% of the resolutions condemning specific states ever adopted over 40 years are directed at Israel.

and finally…

UNIFIL (United Nations Forces In Lebanon) announced yesterday that it will be compelled to [try] to shoot down Israeli reconnaissance jets flying over Lebanon as a violation of “the deal.” The flights have revealed the extend to which Hizbollah is re-arming in Southern Lebanon and from where the ballistics are coming.

It has been said that an alien observing the United Nations’ debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls would conclude that its principal purpose is to censure, condemn and destroy first the country of Israel and second, the United States of America, and that its way to accomplish its purpose is through the protection and nurturing of terrorism throughout the world. That is most certainly true.

UN-Happy Birthday United Nations, may this one be your last.

Oh. My. God.

These people are unbelievable. Their nauseating, self-regarding sanctimony is matched only by their absolutely staggering incompetence.

TSUNAMI reconstruction funds worth $US500 million are being lost to fraud and corruption because of the failure by the United Nations to implement its own anti-fraud measures.

This claim is made by the UN’s former deputy director of investigations, Frank Montil, a former ASIO officer who for a decade was the deputy director of the UN’s internal watchdog unit, set up to investigate fraud and corruption within the UN and its agencies.

$500 million, of which, what, 40% comes from American taxpayers?

Uh-oh. Look who’s name crops up.

But the report lay on the desk of the former secretary-general, Kofi Annan, for eight months, Mr Montil said.

“My estimations of fraud were that at the bare minimum in Banda Aceh alone there would be at least $US80 or $US90 million disappearing in fraud and corruption. That’s only in emergency funds. That doesn’t include the half a billion that will be lost to fraud and corruption in reconstruction funds,” he said.

You’d think that this would stir the UN out of its complacent stupor, wouldn’t you? Well, you’d be dead wrong.

When the Herald contacted the UN, a spokesman provided the General Assembly’s response to Mr Montil’s report. Tabled last December, it read in part: “The Deputy Secretary-General indicated that a number of funds and programs had expressed the view that their tsunami activities had already been extensively audited and that a further consolidated report would be superfluous.”

That, my dear friends, is what is known in the industry as a ’stonewall’. Still, I’m sure the NYT will be all over this one - the UN can run, but they can’t hide from the drive-by media!

Why YOU should care about Burma

Is this thing on? Eh, didn’t think so.

Here, do something useful.

Post this.

Read this. Reports from inside Burma.

And this. Do something.

Vaclav Havel:

For dozens of years, the international community has been arguing over how it should reform the United Nations so that it can better secure civic and human dignity in the face of conflicts such as those now taking place in Burma or Darfur, Sudan. It is not the innocent victims of repression who are losing their dignity, but rather the international community, whose failure to act means watching helplessly as the victims are consigned to their fate.

The world’s dictators, of course, know exactly what to make of the international community’s failure of will and inability to coordinate effective measures. How else can they explain it than as a complete confirmation of the status quo and of their own ability to act with impunity?

The UN is once again showing how useless it is. Why should the world’s dictators (ahem, Ahmadinejad?) see it any other way? If the “international community” can’t be arsed to support a peaceful resistance that poses no potential threat to anyone, why would the despots over traditionally unstable populations (who could themselves be seen as a potential threat to our interests) see anything but impotence and fear on our part?

The Burmese monks (quite unlike the world’s imams and ayatollahs) aren’t calling for death to America, death to Israel, after all. The UN may not care, but WE should.

[UPDATE, 1 October 07: Read SeeDubya's take along the same lines, only said better.]

Karnit Goldwasser Confronts Ahmadinejad at the UN

Tags: ahmadinejad, ehud goldwasser

Notably absent from American mainstream media coverage:

“During the questions we made eye contact, we looked at each other more than once. The look on his face changed the moment he realized who was facing him and what I wanted from him,” Karnit Goldwasser, wife of kidnapped soldier Ehud Goldwasser, said after her meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York.

Goldwasser managed to enter Ahmadinejad’s press conference at the United Nations building in New York on Tuesday, and told Ynet that the she was surprised by the treatment the Iranian leader received upon his arrival.

“He came in and started to smile at everyone. The reporters gave him great respect… As he walked by me he said hi to me, because he still didn’t know who I was. He thought I was one of the supporting journalists, and that he was walking into a place where everyone loved him. He seemed very pleased,” Goldwasser recounted.

Goldwasser said she was not afraid to present the president with her question, and asked him, “Hello, my name is Karnit, the wife of Ehud Goldwasser, the soldier who has been held captive for over a year. Since you are the man that is behind the kidnapping due to the aid you grant Hizbullah, why don’t you allow the Red Cross to visit the two soldiers?” she asked.

The president ignored the question.

Of course he ignored her. Jews/Israelis are non-persons to him.

And with that, she was tossed out.

Tuesday rally at the UN

From what is assumed to be a Zombie operative (since Zombie is from San Francisco, not NY):

The Rally is Tuesday, September 25, 2007 across from the United Nations at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (47th Street and 1st Ave), 11:00am to 2:00pm.

I was in the city to watch football and stopped by to check it out, they were setting up and promoting the rally.

These are pixs of signs and banners, along with other information and displays from the set up.

Here is their website:
