Alice in Wonderland in New York City

The United Nations was always a joke. It was always an anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-freedom institution masquerading as a dispassionate arbiter of international right and wrong. The U.N. never had much credibility to begin with, but now, it's become a full-blown trip down the Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit hole.

The U.N. has a particularly Kafkaesque body called the Human Rights Council. As you might imagine from its name, the HRC is supposed to monitor human rights around the world and recommend sanctions on grievous human rights violators. Rendering such judgments? Nations with such sterling human rights records as Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Russia, and until a few weeks ago, Libya. I'm not making this up.

The latest member trying to score a seat on this coveted Council? Syria. Again, not making it up.

Now, before we get into why allowing Syria on the UNHRC is simultaneously horrifying and makes perfect sense, let's take a look at the UNHRC's website and check out some of the "Working Groups" they've got going:

HRC Working Groups (Have you noticed that the U.N. Human Rights Council has the same initials as Hillary Rodham Clinton? Just sayin'.)

Open-ended Working Group on the Right to Development
Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action
Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent
Ad Hoc Committee on the elaboration of complementary standards
Open-ended Working Group on an optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to provide a communications procedure
Open-ended Working Group on the Draft United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training
Open-ended Intergovernmental Working Group on an international regulatory framework of activities of private military and security companies

Orwellian. Bizarre. Absurd. Rabbit Hole.

Given that this is their "work," let's examine Syria's application to sit on the UNHRC. The Assad regime under both father and current son has been among the world's most brutal. Hafez al-Assad slaughtered between 10,000 and 40,000 people in Hama in the early 1980s. Bashar al-Assad is carrying out a particularly bloody crackdown as we speak, with the military killing hundreds of protesters over the past few weeks of protests. Hafez turned Syria into a police state, building the dreaded secret security force, the mukabarat, into the most feared instrument of his government. His son has maintained the oppression, and taken it up a notch. He has also aligned with Iran, serving as Tehran's pool boy in the region. Syrian control over Lebanon and its support for terrorists groups Hezbollah and Hamas have also been ramped up.

But Syria hopes to score a seat on the UNHRC, and truth be told, it would fit right in among the thugs, gangsters, and terrorists already there. President Bush would have nothing to do with this charade. President Obama, however, thought we could do some "good" sitting among the killers, so there we are. Where is our U.N. Ambassador, Susan Rice, on Syria's application to join this theater of the absurd? If we're going to be a party to this ridiculousness, we might as well stand for something. Reports are that she's working behind the scenes to get Syria to withdraw. How about working in front of the scenes?

Unless the U.N. wants to join the League of Nations in the dustbin of history, it needs to reject Syria for the UNHRC. Besides, there's another country bidding to get the seat if Damascus gets booted. Kuwait. Because their record is sooooo much better.

I agree with the U.N. We violated Osama Bin Laden's rights. He should have been arrested and detained at Gitmo. Who knows how much intell we could have milked out of him on a waterboard, especially 20 hours a day seven days a week? Yep, we violated his right to live a nice peacful, productive life in sunny Cuba.

The UN is financed by the US. It lives in NYC. It is the perfect cover for the REAL government ("They, Them") to operate. The latest -the "Duty to Protect" Act- is going to take the world down a much more warlike and bloody path. Libya and Syria are the same, but only Libya gets attacked...so far.

Do you ever wonder why we need these moslem exchange students here in the USA?

Looks like KSM got indoctrinated against us at "historically black" A&T college in North Carolina:

Early life

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is reported to have been born in Kuwait to parents from Balochistan in Pakistan.[1] He spent some of his formative years in Kuwait, just like his nephew, Ramzi Yousef (three years his junior). He joined the Muslim Brotherhood at age sixteen.[citation needed] He returned to Pakistan soon after, and after spending some time there, went to the United States for further study.
He attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and completed a degree in mechanical engineering in 1986.[21][22] The following year he went to Afghanistan, where he and his brothers (Zahed, Abed, and Aref) fought against the Soviet Union during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. (Some sources claim that Khalid was fighting in Afghanistan before he moved to the United States.) There, he was introduced to Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, of the Islamic Union Party. The 9/11 Commission Report notes on page 149 that "Sayyaf was close to Ahmed Shah Massoud, the leader of the Afghan Northern Alliance".
The 9/11 Commission Report also notes that, "By his own account, KSM's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."[23]
However, according to a U.S. intelligence summary reported on August 29, 2009 by the Washington Post, his time in the U.S did lead him to become a terrorist. "KSM's limited and negative experience in the United States — which included a brief jail stay because of unpaid bills — almost certainly helped propel him on his path to becoming a terrorist," according to this intelligence summary. "He stated that his contact with Americans, while minimal, confirmed his view that the United States was a debauched and racist country."[24]
According to the 9/11 Commission, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after the Afghan jihad went to work for an electronics company, working on communications equipment. In 1988, he helped to head a non-governmental organization paid for by Abu Sayyaf, which sponsored and aided Afghan fighters against the Soviets. He continued this work until 1992, when he fought with Muslim fighters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported this effort financially.[citation needed] Khalid Sheikh Mohammed moved to Qatar to work in a government office as a project engineer for the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water. He stayed at this job until 1996.[citation needed]

"ThenewKerala.com, a leading Trivandrum city-based news portal from the touristy state of Kerala, could not hide its jubilation either. It viewed, “Indians love sensation, and how! News of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s death drew 42.6 million viewers in India, against the 42.1 million who watched the fairytale British royal wedding.”

In one of its articles carrying a headline, “Osama’s death grabs more eyeballs in India than Royal wedding,” this website had further stated, “The direct telecast rights of the royal wedding was with BBC Entertainment channel, but the Indian news channels in Hindi and English gave wide coverage to the William-Kate wedding with limited access.

However, the unexpected news of Osama’s death in a firefight with US forces in Pakistan clearly excited the audiences more and the news was splashed across all Indian and international channels.

Amidst festivities and unending celebrations, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was quoted by his country’s media outlets as saying, “I welcome it as a significant step forward and hope that it will deal a decisive blow to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. The international community and Pakistan in particular must work comprehensively to end the activities of all such groups who threaten civilised behaviour and kill innocent men, women and children.”

Back to Trump. The general consensus of my panel of experts is he is not running. They believe he wants to play a major role in the upcoming presidential election, but not as a candidate. Only as a influencer and endorser.

Posted by: DJ | May 10, 2011 at 12:59 PM

Your experts, DJ, are with the conventional wisdom, namely that Trump will not run. The contrarian GringoBall is almost the last crystal standing, still
mentioning what it showed on April 06. Trump on the stump in New Hampshire Wed. May 11 will be a Leading Indicator. If he re-ignites to what he was like before his Vow of Silence for a week (yes, it was premeditated)things will get very interesting again very fast. If not, if he is clearly more subdued, more like the rest of them, Obama can sit back, breathe easily, and focus on the Wall Street and SEIU donations that will pour in for 2012.

Speaking of Princess, how does a 'conservative' maintain such a passion for "fiscal socialist" and Saudistic George "It's a Religion of Peace" Bush, just because he's slightly to the right of a Macdaddy Marxist?

John Bolton would do far better as a G.O.P. Secretary of State, his natural milieu, rather than dabbling in something totally out of his bailiwick and personal strengths, like running for elected office in the barnyard of US politics. He's spent his whole life preparing for the former, and about five minutes for the latter.

Donald Trump gets mauled by the freak show
By Greg Sargent 5/10/2011 WP

A funny number from Gallup, which finds that Donald Trump’s “positive intensity score” among Republicans and GOP leaners has plummetted to a lower level than that of any other 2012 GOP presidential hopeful:

Businessman and television personality Trump, recipient of much publicity over the last several weeks, has the unenviable distinction of receiving a Positive Intensity Score of 0, the lowest for any of the 13 candidates measured. Overall, 98% of Republicans recognize Trump, but among this group 12% say their opinion of Trump is strongly favorable, while 11% say it is strongly unfavorable. Rounding differences result in his overall net score of 0. Last week, when Trump’s numbers were first reported, his Positive Intensity Score was 4, suggesting he lost ground after a week in which he was the butt of jokes that comedian Seth Meyers and President Barack Obama delivered at the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. That same week, Trump’s focus on Obama’s birthplace was defused by the release of Obama’s long-form birth certificate.

And let’s not forget that all this was followed by the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

After Obama was forced to release his long-form birth certificate, Donald Trump actually claimed it as a point of pride that he’d forced Obama’s hand. Unbeknownst to Trump, however, during the very same week that Obama was compelled to respond to Trump’s hucksterish conspiracy theorizing about his birthplace — which fed the larger storyline that there’s something fundamentally un-American about the President — Obama’s national security team was privately working out the plan that successfully killed America’s number one terrorist foe.

Now, in addition to the above Gallup findings, Public Policy Polling finds Trump has dropped to a meager 8 percent in a 2012 GOP primary matchup, tied for fifth place with Ron Paul. As Dave Weigel notes, Trump’s numbers are “collapsing like a poorly built McMansion.”

What a ride! At first the Donald skillfully played the media, adopting a strategy of deliberately tracking in lurid, freak-show-friendly falsehoods in the full knowledge that the resulting media attention — even if negative — would buoy his presidential hopes among GOP primary voters. At first, it worked. But Trump was defined by the freak show, too, and his antics quickly came to look pathetically buffoonish and small when reality — Obama’s birth certificate, the killing of Bin Laden — came along and popped Trump’s balloon, causing him to crash back down to earth.

Live by the freak show, die by the freak show.

I can vividly recall whites in Detroit during the 60s and 70s saying: "Save the white majority!". Well, the whites were unsuccessful in that struggle - they were drivin out. Blacks won the race-war in Detroit but now look at the deplorable situation there! It wasn't supposed to be like that under Black-rule; but as any objective black can attest, the quality of life for blacks was much better when whites were a majority and ran all the institutions.

We need to look no futher than what happened in Detroit to get a good idea what America will be like when whites become a minority.

From the book "CRISIS BY DESIGN", here's an astounding article that goes against all of the truths we are supposed to believe about oil"

Con #02 OIL Is Not a Fossil Fuel, and it is “renewable.”
http://www.crisisbydesign.com/blog/global-warming/oil-is-not-a-fossil-fuel-2/

The article asserts that oil is continuously formed near the center of the earth by heat and pressure way below depths at which organic material exists. It is forced to levels near the surface by the earth's rotation.

The record of racism of the RACISTS I mentioned by name about is well-documented and requires no further proof.

If conservatives are so pure when it comes to not being racist. Then, why mention race so often?
