On Thursday a United Nations interpreter, unaware that her microphone was on, uttered words of truth in reaction to the General Assembly’s adoption of nine politically-motivated resolutions condemning Israel, and zero resolutions on the rest of the world.
Under the mistaken impression that she was speaking only to colleagues, the interpreter uttered the following words into the headphones of every UN delegate, and before a live webcast audience worldwide:
“I think when you have… like a total of ten resolutions on Israel and Palestine, there’s gotta be something, c’est un peu trop, non? [It’s a bit much, no?] I mean I know… There’s other really bad shit happening, but no one says anything about the other stuff.”

I never gave it much thought but I suppose UN interpreters rarely get to speak the truth.
Or Nuremburg.
Oh...no...
Port a Prince is the place for the UN...
After they "fix" Haiti, they can get a shot at the rest of the world..!!!
only those that speak french understood it, they dont interpret for non delegates
A conservative news commentator speaking French?
You’re more likely to see them using Latin.
Communist influence in Russia is not dead, they get second place in most all elections, but usually lose by about 15 percentage points to the Nationalists which is a serious defeat. While not out of the woods, this is good news for Russians, and makes Putin look more genuine when he sides against the Communists and leftists, and with the Church and Nationalists. Putin also has to deal with almost 20% Muslim population in the Federation, anywhere else and they'd run everything.
China, I'm not so sure. The Commies have maintained power and control, although they're far from Commies now. They're oligarchs, and misuse capitalism to get richer, while rigidly controlling showcase Christianity (and everybody else) in the standard commie way.
In my opinion, Russia cares too much about her people to start anything up, and China cares too much about her market. The trouble will come from Western Europe and the Arab states, both will try to use the UN and US as mercenaries to loot those same markets, Eastern Europe, India, South East Asia, and Africa.
The UN building needs to be torn down because of the sad shape it is in. They can all move to the UN building in Geneva, Switzerland.
Rino's can do damage
From reading this story, it sounds like this person is an OFFICIAL UN Translator, an UN employee. In my late parent's retirement community were a retired husband-wife team of that position. In a conversation I was informed that they were subject to a pension-forfeit secrets clause on their knowledge. Given that their pensions were large and untaxed, this was a significant threat.
Interesting aside, we are talking about the 1990s and it was interesting that the husband was a Belgium native while the wife was French. The fact that they chose to retire in the US was an interesting conversation. They had the same tax treatment in Europe but their mutual choice was for the larger sense of freedom as expressed by their conversations.
Just see my tag line!
My mind was not working this morning. Thanks for not beating me up too much!
On a side note...those 57 nations have also prevented Darfur from being classed as a genocide. Until the UN classes it as a genocide, nothing could be done. Hence, the inaction. The USA's policy had been to utilize the UN's definition of "genocide," and foolishly tied itself to that. Hence, the inaction on the part of the West.
When will we ever learn?
I tell my liberal friends it wasn't "Bush" who prevented action. It was their beloved United Nations that deserved the blame, and specifically, the Muslim voting bloc.
Oh, I may have been remiss: To understand the reason why the Darfur thing was never dealt with by the UN? That 57 nation bloc was supporting the actions of Muslim fighter pilots strafing African animist/Christian farmers trying to farm their land. The Arabs decided they needed the land more, and used every means to take it from them while the world looked on.
Bows and arrows against the lightning.
Using the UN, that 57-nation bloc has more power than we do (except for a veto on the Security Council). And it costs them nothing.
Let's make use of our navy. Get out of the UN. Then, that bloc would have to build a navy, collectively, to rival ours in power.
Oh, what's that? They can't? Too bad for them. Our forte lies outside the UN. Inside the UN, our navy, air force, army is merely a crippled, hamstrung instrument.
Let's free our diplomatic (by other means) potential, and GET OUT OF THE UN. We're paying for the military, let's go all Big Stick and get what we're paying for.
Don't misunderstand, I'm not advocating a war, but the diplomatic "flexing" of our influence, using all methods available to us (as we're paying for it, anyway).
My mind was not working this morning.
I hear ya man. At my age, the “Senior Moments” come too often.
I only hope that your humility is extended in my direction as well...
Trouble will come when God reacts.
I’d like to see Israel do the same.
The Chinese manifestation of genuine Christianity isn’t official at all. It’s unofficial and underground. It is not the official show church. Sometimes it gets persecuted. Don’t make the mistake of equating officiality with genuineness. I have heard about it through underground means through Chinese brothers and sisters.
No, I know the Christians themselves are genuine and persevering, I was assessing the government attitude. The Chinese government is still Communist except economically, and they persecute Christians. I believe the Russian government is ex-communist generally and is much more tolerant of Christians, even though most officials used to be Communists, and technically never renounced.
