What is happening is Sudan is horrible.
But, what can we do?
Aid workers there get kidnapped – because the method the Sudanese government uses to kill people is to drive them into refugee camps and then deny aid workers access: people simply starve. It’s beyond inhuman…
And the slave-trade there is being revived…
I don’t quite know what to think about this longish video…
Ideas?
As if we needed another reason to disband – utterly discredit, send the bureaucrats/delegates home and burn the buildings down, then dance on the ashes – the UN…
I never re-publish another blog’s post in its entirety and will not start now, but Nerfherder has a post which is short, sweet and informative about this issue. It describes what UN’s agency called the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) plans are for restricting access to the internet and gaining huge control over its content. Plus, it is chock full of links!
I strongly recommend reading the short post in its entirety. Here is a bit with key links:
‘ A pair of researchers from George Mason University created a website called WCITLeaks.org in the hopes that someone with access to the secretive proposals would leak them and make them available to the public. Last Friday, that’s exactly what happened. Someone leaked the 212-page planning document being used by governments to prepare for the December conference. You can read it yourself here.’
We really need to start raising awareness about this.
Information is the best weapon in the preservation of freedom.
That is why the UN wants to disarm us.
We must not let them!
This is more than UN’s Agenda 21 which seeks to gain control over parts of nation states through bypassing their legitimate governments (and which Alabama had just banned within its borders), it is an attempt to re-shape the internet to the liking of Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran!
‘ISOC’s Sally Wentworth, senior manager of public policy for the group, warned that the proposals to be considered are not “compatible” with the current open manner in which the Internet is managed.
Vint Cerf, Google’s chief Internet evangelist, co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol, and former chairman of ICANN, said the ITU meeting could lead to “top-down control dictated by governments” that could impact free expression, security, and other important issues..
“The open Internet has never been at a higher risk than it is now,” Cerf said.’
In my never-humble-opinion, it is time to dissolve that toxic tumour upon our society also known as the United Nations!
It is difficult for us to see what is happening inside Egypt, which is why it is good to listen to the Egyptian thinkers themselves:
We, in the West, have taken for granted that there should be a separation between The State (government) and religious organizations. This is, in no way, a universal sentiment.
To the contrary: throughout human history, tyrants have relied on religious control over their populace to stay in power. In the dawns of our civilization, we had ‘priest kings’, individuals who held the reins of State and religion firmly within their grasp. Up until quite recently, European monarchies accepted the authority of the Catholic Pope to be the Kingmaker: these mutually supporting tyrannies effectively enslaved the population. It was not until the development of religious plurality in Europe that these shackles were broken and the age of enlightenment and reason brought us the modern era of prosperity and freedom.
It would indeed be difficult to argue that had we not rejected the collusion of State and Religion, we would be enjoying our current standard of living.
Yet, we must never forget that separation of State and Religion is the exception, not the rule in human societies. Even today.
Therein lies the peril in ‘world government’ schemes, like the United Nations.
Because secular governments built on the consitutional democracy principle represent a minority of human population, it would be unreasonable to expect any government which is representative of all the world to reflect this minority trend.
This is why we should not be shocked by UN’s attempts to pass anti-blasphemy laws.
Since religious control over government is the norm, not the exception, it is not surprising that religions from outside the constitutional democracies would be jockeying for control over the UN. And, since they are the only ones in the race, it ought not be surprising that they are indeed succeeding.
Islam, of course, forms the largest ‘block’ in this effort: it really is only a question of time before Sharia will be imposed by the UN on all its member states.
Does this sound too far fetched?
Time to leave the UN – unless it is already too late!
“In Havlish, et al. v. bin La den, et al. , Judge Daniels held that the Islamic Republic of Iran, its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, former Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, and Iran’s agencies and instrumentalities, including, among others, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (“IRGC”), the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (“MOIS”), and Iran’s terrorist proxy Hezbollah, all materially aided and supported al Qaeda before and after 9/11. “
This is all well and good, but what does this truly mean?
Will the representatives of the Iranian regime who enter the U.S.A. be arrested and held accountable?
Will they – at least – be expelled from the US and will all representatives of the Government of Iran be prevented from entering the US, including to attend the UN, ehich is physically located there?
Because if they are not then what is the point of even going through with this exercise?
