Obama Administration Throws Israel Under “The Human Rights Council” Bus

By on March 22, 2011 in Current Affairs

My latest post on Newsreal Blog. It sounded good on the surface, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton scolded the Human Rights Council (HRC) last month for its “structural bias” against Israel. But closer examination reveals those words were nothing more than a sugarcoated shelter for the Obama administration to hide behind while once again [...]

News flash: U.N. Climate Change delegates want to wreck the U.S. economy and ban water

By on December 10, 2010 in Current Affairs

  This is interesting. It seems the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) has forged a new frontier in climate change research – a peek into the psyches of climate change alarmists themselves. And what better laboratory than the  United Nations Conference on Climate Change that just wrapped up in (an unusually and ironically frigid) Cancun, Mexico? The findings — although not [...]

Our penitent president lets dictators dump on us for world peace

By on November 23, 2010 in Current Affairs

  Eye on the U.N. has compiled some highlights from the United States’ recent “Universal Periodic Review” (UPC), a thing at the United Nations where the world’s worst human rights abusers get to throw mud-balls at us. This was our first UPC, because for some reason previous U.S. presidents weren’t interested. The video is instructive, [...]

UN: Saudi Arabia qualified to pass judgement on women’s rights

By on November 14, 2010 in Current Affairs

Bad news: Iran continues to stone women. Good news: They won’t be lecturing you and me about human rights abuses after all. Turns out that some sticklers thought their propensity to fracture feminine skulls might pose a PR problem for the United Nation’s fledgling “Super agency for women.” It was a nice thought, albeit naive. Everyone knows the United Nations [...]

He’s at it again: Obama apologizes to stone-throwing decapitating dictators for secret ballots

By on September 7, 2010 in Current Affairs

Sometimes I miss Ronald Reagan so much. Remember last month when the Obama administration went tattling to the U.N. Human Rights Council about the Arizona immigration law? Well, apparently the groveling didn’t end there. The report confessed to another transgression as well: secret ballots in union votes. Apparently Obama believes that the privacy of non-union [...]

U.N. Official: Israel’s “siege” in Gaza worse than Auschwitz

By on May 14, 2010 in Current Affairs

Some things are so predictable. Like the sun coming up and the rain coming down (this is Oregon).  Oh, and some U.N. bigwig is lying about Israel. This time it is Dr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, president of the United Nations General Assembly. He thinks Israel’s “siege” in Gaza is “worse than the camps of the [...]

Can Israel Trust the United Nations? Seriously!

By on May 8, 2010 in Current Affairs

Memories… Hezbollah is making mischief in Lebanon, and the U.N. is making excuses. Where have I heard all this before? As usual, being utterly unqualified to comment on stuff like this doesn’t stop the thinklets from coming: No worries. Despite U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ statement that “Hezbollah has more weapons than most countries” [...]

Obama to release classified nuclear information because that will make the world like us

By on May 4, 2010 in Current Affairs

I suppose if you really believe America’s bellicose imperialism has goaded otherwise peaceful governments into despotic aggression, the logical remedy would be groveling acts of penitence like this:  Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a United Nations conference on nuclear nonproliferation Monday that the US will disclose details of its nuclear arsenal – such [...]

Gates: Hezbollah has far more rockets than most governments

By on May 1, 2010 in Current Affairs

A couple things from DEBKAfile. First: US defense secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday night, April 27: “Hizballah has far more rockets and missile than most governments in the world.” He and Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak were talking to reporters after their talks in the Pentagon. Military sources did not see his as high commendation [...]
