Bush Center highlights North Korean human rights abuses after summit
The Hill ^ | 6.12.2018 | JACQUELINE THOMSEN

Posted on 06/12/2018 6:57:30 PM PDT by libh8er

The George W. Bush Presidential Center is tweeting out coverage and analysis of human rights abuses in North Korea, just one day after President Trump’s historic summit with the country’s leader on Tuesday.

The center has shared older posts on the human rights violations as well as pieces arguing for human rights to be included in future talks with North Korea.

Asked about the posts, a spokesperson for the Bush Center told The Hill that it was “simply sharing content that we work on every day within our Human Freedom Initiative.”

The spokesperson did not directly respond to an emailed question about whether the center was advocating for Trump to raise the human rights issues with North Korean leaders, or whether the former president or his office had any involvement in the decision to highlight the issue.

One of the pieces promoted on Tuesday is a Bush Center interview with North Korean dissident and author Kang Chol-Hwan, who escaped from the country after spending 10 years in a prison camp.

The center has also shared a video by the Bush Institute Deputy Director of Human Freedom Lindsay Lloyd advocating for the U.S. to raise the human rights abuses in future talks with North Korea.

That’s the ticket. Worked so well before and what we were leading up to if that dog became president. Blessed are the peacemakers and to hell with the bushes.

George Bush is the worst mistake Ronald Reagan ever made.

I forgive him for it, but the Gipper really messed up with that one.

Iraq Travel Advisory





Iraq – Level 4: Do not travel

“Do not travel to Iraq due to terrorism and armed conflict.”

“U.S. citizens in Iraq are at high risk for violence and kidnapping. Numerous terrorist and insurgent groups are active in Iraq and regularly attack both Iraqi security forces and civilians. Anti-U.S. sectarian militias may also threaten U.S. citizens and Western companies throughout Iraq. Attacks by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) occur frequently in many areas of the country, including Baghdad.”

Of course GWB released a joyous congratulatory statement celebrating Trump’s stupendous success, I’m sure, him being so proper and all…?

Hmmm? What about your beloved religion of peace nations? They all have low scores on the human rights scale!

Hey, did the Reagan Administration highlight all the human rights abuses and violations committed by the USSR, yet we, the US, met with them many times? Did the Nixon Administration highlight all the human rights abuses and violations before and when meeting with China? Did the ObamIdiot administration and lamestream media highlight all the human rights abuses and violations committed by Iran?

Let me know..../s
