He Has All The Right Qualifications For The Job

The Job:  Membership on the UN Human Rights Council.

Qualification:  Lack of true Human Rights in your nation.

Bonus Qualification:  Genocide of Your Own People

New Membership on the UN Human Rights Council will be given to Sudan.  Sudan that is governed by Shar'ia Law.  Sudan that women and non-Muslims are forbidden all Human rights.  Sudan that has killed over 400,000 of their own people and displaced over 2.5 million more.  That Sudan.  Their ruler Omar Al-Bashir (Wanted by the International Court for Crimes against Humanity) has fulfilled all the requirements necessary (For non-European nations.) by the UN for membership on the Human Rights Council.

The election of a Sudanese warlord accused of genocide to the United Nations Human Rights Council is now virtually guaranteed, since he has the full backing of the world body's African delegation.

The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Omar Al-Bashir -- its first ever for a sitting head of state -- for crimes against humanity he allegedly committed in Darfur. Yet, his regime is set to take its place on the panel, in the latest bizarre appointment to make a mockery of the UN's human rights credibility, according to critics.

It's like putting “Jack the Ripper in charge of a women’s shelter,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.

Neuer's Geneva-based group is calling on UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay to denounce election of the war-torn North African nation to the 47-member body. Sudan is not technically on the panel, but its election is a certainty because only five African nations are vying for the continent's five seats.

Membership to the Council is open to all member states and secret-ballot elections are held every year, according to a UN website. Upon election, states serve three-year terms and are not eligible for immediate re-election after serving two consecutive terms.

Candidates within the UN’s African Group, which has five vacant seats, include Ethiopia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and Sudan. The candidacies of Venezuela and Pakistan are also being protested by UN Watch and other human rights groups.

U.S. officials also blasted the development.

"Sudan, a consistent human rights violator, does not meet the Council’s own standards for membership," said Kurtis Cooper, deputy spokesman for the United States Mission to the United Nations. "It would be inappropriate for Sudan to have a seat on the Council while the Sudanese head of State is under International Criminal Court indictment for war crimes in Darfur and the government of Sudan continues to use violence to inflame tensions along its border with South Sudan."

Mark Lagon, a visiting professor at Georgetown University and a former U.S. State Department official, said Al-Bashir’s regime fomented genocide in Darfur and has since returned to terrorizing innocent people in South Sudan.

“It lacks credibility to judge others, and the Council lacks it too with it as a Member,” Lagon told Fox News.com in an email.

Neuer said Pillay, a South African, should be a “moral voice” and urge other African nations to call for “unequivocal opposition to Sudan’s scandalous” bid for the election that will add 18 member nations in all.

“Just a year after the human rights council sought to exorcise the ghosts of its past by suspending Col. Muammar Qaddafi’s Libya — which infamously chaired the body in 2003, and was reelected a member in 2010 — it is now set to replace him with a tyrant wanted for genocide by the International Criminal Court. For how long must we have the inmates running the asylum?”

Neuer said the reputation of the former human rights commission “never recovered” from making Libya its chair in 2003.

“The UN and the cause of human rights will be severely damaged if and when Al-Bashir’s Sudanese regime wins a seat,” he said.

In its first-ever arrest warrant issued for a sitting head of state by the UN International Crimes Court (ICC) in 2009, al-Bashir was accused of intentionally directing attacks in western Sudan’s Darfur region by “murdering, exterminating, raping, torturing and forcibly transferring” large numbers of civilians.

The “unlawful” campaign allegedly started soon after the April 2003 attack on El Fasher airport — as a result of agreements between Al-Bashir and other high-ranking Sudanese leaders — and lasted until at least July 2008. The warrant of arrests lists seven counts, including five counts of crimes against humanity and two counts of war crimes.

The recent UN process seemingly favors rogue states, including Iran, Zimbabwe and Syria:

—Just last month, Iran was elected to the deputy president role of a 15-member board aiming to thrash out a UN arms trade treaty, despite multiple UN sanctions against the Islamic republic regarding its nuclear defiance and human rights abuses.

—In May, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was appointed as a UN tourism envoy for a major UN conference despite allegations of ethnic cleansing and rigged elections by the 88-year-old who has led the southern African nation for more than three decades.

—Syria was elected to a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) human rights committee last fall, despite the ongoing crackdown on opposition protests by Bashar al-Assad’s regime that has reportedly claimed more than 21,000 lives in just 17 months.

When electing states to the council, members are asked to consider the “contribution of candidates to the promotion and protection of human rights” and voluntary pledges in that regard, according to a UN website.

“Upon election, new members commit themselves to cooperating with the Council and to upholding the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights,” the website reads. “Members of the Council are reviewed under the Universal Periodic Review mechanism during their term of membership.”

Any member that commits “gross and systematic violations” of human rights can be suspended by a two-thirds majority vote by the General Assembly.

That is going to happen. Right when pigs fly. (Checking the skies for pigs.)  For in this Tower of Babylon on the East River, has the hots for the worse despots in recent history.

It is time that we relieve ourselves of this House of Horror on the East River.  We kick the UN out of the United States.  We stop all payments to this bloated dinosaur (Not to insult true bloated dinosaurs.).  We remove our presence from this creation of Liberal Daydreams.  Even from the start, it was doomed to fail.

A great rant from Pat Condell.





One has to remember that Mr. Condell is an Atheist who refuses to accept any religion as legitimate, he is also a man who is a great voice for FREEDOM.  Mr. Condell doesn't try to impose his beliefs (or lack of them), his atheism on the world.  For that I salute him and respect him.  He does have a right to speak his mind, and believe or not to believe in G-d.

Understanding UN Bias Against Israel

An invitation to Durban 3 NYC Sept 21




If you can be in New York City on September 21, join Israel Now for a rally at Dag Hammaskjold Plaza at 11 AM.  The more people who are there supporting Israel, the less those who would finish the job Hitler started will be heard.

Be there in Support if you can!

Suck Falk!!!

That is putting it cleanly.  I am referring to Richard Falk of the United Nations Human Rights Council.  Earlier this month he put the following cartoon on his blog:

 

A real masterpiece of anti-Semitic propaganda.  Reminiscent of the cartoons of the Nazi Era.

Needless to say the proverbial excrement has hit the fan.

Falk issued the following statement:

"With apologies, I realize that the cartoon... had strongly anti-Semitic symbolism that I had not detected before it was pointed out to me...

"My intention has never been to demean in any way Jews as a people despite my strong criticisms of Israeli policies, and some versions of Zionist support...

"Beyond this, if we are to have a sustainable human future we must also make peace with nature, and treat animals with as much respect as possible...

"At the same time, I am quite aware that many of the messages were motivated to discredit me due to my views of Israeli policies and behavior."

In other words, I apologize to all the Dogs and also the Jews.  My Muslim masters friends were laughing so hard at it I and they thought it was funny not offensive.  In any case, it is not my fault.  It is the fault of the Jews.  Blame them!

Needless to say that that statement rubbed the cat's fur the wrong way.

The United States, joined by American Jewish groups, has called on the United Nations to sack its rapporteur on PA rights, Richard Falk.

Falk posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on his blog, and when criticized, replaced it with an apology that claimed he could not detect the anti-Semitic content of the cartoon “until it was pointed out,” and appeared to equate Jews with animals.

The New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL), B'nai Brith International, U.N. Watch (AJC) and Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, joined the Obama administration – as well as U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee – in calling on the U.N. to sack Falk, or at least issue a statement of condemnation.

“This latest action compounds the long existing problem of Mr. Falk's blatant biases and repugnant behavior,” said a statement issued by the President's Conference.

“His history of hateful provocations, including the spread of 9/11 conspiracy theories blaming the United States for self-inflicted terrorism, and comparison of Israelis to Nazis, are evidence that he cannot fulfill his responsibilities consistent with the U.N.'s mission and standards.”

Joseph Torsella, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations for management and reform, had already slammed Falk in an earlier statement Friday, saying he was “deeply disturbed” the rapporteur had “once again used his personal blog to publish abhorrent material.

“His shameful and outrageous behavior is an embarrassment to the United Nations,” he added. “Someone who publishes such vicious images has no place in the U.N. system.”

I didn't think that the UN could be embarrassed any more by Falk.  After all it has already held 2 meetings of the Nazi Party (Durban I and II) with the third installment of this farce to be held in New York City in September.  What a great way to remember the events of September 11, 2001 by planning to reopen the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

It is time for the United States to elect a true World Leader and not a hyped-up Community Organizer.  A leader who will take a long, hard look at the Tower of Babel that has become the UN, and cut all funds to it.  A leader who will have the balls to pull us out of it and kick those freeloading Third World imbeciles back to the hellhole countries they come from.  We could use "Eminent Domain"  as the perfect excuse to do so.

I even have the perfect place to put the new UN:  Mecca, Saudi Arabia.  After all, the UN is just a patsy for the Arab League, and caters to their every whim.
