Human rights, anyone?
I give up: you can’t satirize the United Nations.
Why not? Because the UN satirizes itself.
A few days ago they appointed Venezuela, dictator and all, to what they laughingly call their UN Human Rights Council (https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/10/18/venezuela-returns-to-human-rights-council-month-after-u-n-condemned-maduro/). Venezuela will be replacing dear old Castro Cuba as the UN’s favorite dictatorship. Other titans of liberty and human dignity sitting on the (ahem!) Human Rights Council include Indonesia, Mauretania, Libya, and Sudan.
Not only did the UN opt for Nick Maduro’s zoo animal-eating, toilet paper-short, throw-em-all-in-jail-if-they-don’t-like-it, scads-of-people-fleeing-the-country miserable imitation of a country: they rejected Costa Rica. You know–that Central American country with durable, well-established democratic institutions, a rule of law, and other amenities. A country in which “human rights” actually exist.
Why do we continue to allow the United Nations, this towering monument to hypocrisy, squat there in the heart of New York City? Why do we continue to fund it?
Figure that one out and win a Nobel prize!
Mauretania and Sudan are two of the countries that still have slavery, aren’t they? Oh well….
As a matter of fact, they do. But as long as it’s nice slavery, the UN doesn’t care.
“Get the U.S. out of the U.N.” The John Birch Society has been preaching and warning America about the U.N. since 1958.
The U.N. has out-served its usefulness, if it ever had one. We don’t just need to get out of the U.N. We need the U.N. to go the way of the League of Nations.
They are something to behold, but even if I could figure it out, I wouldn’t want a Nobel prize that has lost all meaning.
Unbelievable. The UN Human Rights Council is a joke
