United Nations Honors Che Guevara—Yet Again
Townhall.com ^ | March 16, 2019 | Humberto Fontova

Posted on 03/16/2019 4:13:45 AM PDT by Kaslin

‘The United Nations office in Geneva, the home of its Human Rights Council, is showcasing a giant photograph of notorious Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara in its halls, a U.N. watchdog group revealed….Hillel Neuer, the executive director of U.N. Watch, tweeted the picture of the photograph from the building in Switzerland.” (FoxNews March 1st.)

“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy, it’s not a friend to freedom, it’s not a friend even to the United States of America where, as you know, it has its home. And it surely is not a friend to Israel.” (Donald Trump, March 21st, 2016.)

Certainly we execute! And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! This is a war to the death against our revolution’s enemies!” (Che Guevara, Dec. 9, 1964 to an ovation while addressing the hallowed halls of the UN General Assembly.) 

Those executions (murders, actually; execution implies a judicial process) had reached about 15,000 by the time of Che Guevara’s boast, the equivalent, given the relative populations, of almost half a million executions in the U.S. (This figure comes from “The Black Book of Communism,” by the way, written by French scholars and published in English by Harvard University Press, neither representing a bunker of  “embittered-right-wing-Cuban-exiles-with an ax-to-grind.”)

And lest anyone think the UN ovation for Che in 1964 and the honorific picture of Che at the UN office this month were flukes: 

At a ceremony in Havana in July, 2013 UNESCO (U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) honored Che Guevara by enshrining his writings in its hallowed “Memory of the World Register.”  The ceremony even included several members of Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s family!

“UNESCO’s work is part of our support for freedom of expression as an inalienable human right set down in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” declares the UN’s mission statement.

But not far from where this UNESCO/Guevara ceremony took place Cubans were being starved and beaten in pestiferous torture chambers for the crime of quoting the UN Declaration of Human Rights in public.

“UNESCO is known as the intellectual agency of the United Nations," which stands for “Protecting freedom of expression: an essential condition for democracy, development and human dignity,” reads the UN charter.

But not far from where this UNESCO/Guevara ceremony took place, the regime being honored by UNESCO burned hundreds of books and documents in a ceremony slightly less spectacular than the one hosted by Joseph Goebbels in Berlin’s Opera Square in 1933. The bonfire was accompanied by the beating and jailing of the owners and purveyors of these works. The Castroite bonfire was fueled by such works as Orwell’s Animal Farm, the works of Martin Luther King and the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

“I plead with Fidel Castro and his government to immediately take their hands off [Cuba’s] independent librarians,” entreated none other than Ray Bradbury at the time. “And to release all those librarians in prison, and to send them back into Cuban culture to inform the people.”

But instead of heeding Bradbury, for the crime of stocking some of the world’s bestselling books (along with the UN Declaration of Human Rights), the Stalinist regime honored by UNESCO condemned the Cuban librarians to prison terms similar to the one a South African judge handed Nelson Mandela for planting bombs in public places. “As to the disposition of the books, magazines and pamphlets they are to be destroyed by means of incineration because they lack usefulness,” ruled the Castroite “judge.”

 “As the United Nations agency with a specific mandate to promote 'the free flow of ideas by word and image', UNESCO works to foster free, independent and pluralistic media in print, broadcast and online. This foundation is why UNESCO today promotes policies for press freedom and the safety of journalists,” reads the UNESCO charter.

But the regime whose co-founder the UN honored this month in Geneva holds the honor, according to the Paris-based “Reporters Without Borders," of (consistently) being among the world’s top ten jailers and torturers of journalists.

 “Our purpose is to contribute to peace and security by promoting international collaboration through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights along with fundamental freedom,” declares the UNESCO charter.

“We reject any peaceful approach!" declared the man the UN honored in Geneva this month.

“Violence is inevitable! To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow! If the nuclear missiles had remained [in Cuba] we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City. The victory of socialism is worth millions of atomic victims!”

Hatred is the central element of our struggle!…hatred that is intransigent…hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine…We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism RIVERS OF BLOOD MUST FLOW!….The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!” (Thus spaketh the icon of flower-children, of those who habitually accuse Republicans of “hate-speech!” and of the United Nations.)

Yeah, he's real cool.

This illustrates exactly what makes me angry about our side; the Che is ripe for a propaganda campaign portraying him as a known racist and mass murderer. This could open him up to comparisons to, oh, I don't know.....
Instead, we sit around going "tsk, tsk. I say, didn't he go a bit too far?" After all, we wouldn't want to antagonize his many fans; why, think what that would do to the T-shirt industry!

I love Donald Trump because he doesn't worry about proportionate response. He hits back twice as hard.

Just one of the sucky elements of socialism is that so many people have to be killed before everyone is happy.

The UN is a Muslim-dominated organization. Why in the world would anyone expect it to be a friend of democracy, freedom, the U.S., or Israel?

President Obama stood in Cuba by that same wall and teared up.

His 2008 Houston campaign office had 2 Che Cuban flags hanging.

And we are told that AOC, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren et al are more Marxist than damned Obama was.

1. UN moved out of the U.S.

2. U.S. quits the UN.

I hope I live to see this.

Obviously I’m being facetious. I hate the whole worship factor of that piece of chit. He was lucky that he never had to face the full fury of a determined American military attack. We’ve been hamstrung by subversive politicians for too long.

Trump needs to instruct Pompeo to condemn the recognition of this mass murdering tyrant.

I’d like another Trump Towers on the UN site.

It would be something useful and good unlike the UN.

But then again, he was more islamic.

It’s only the net effect of what Carlos the Jackal said years ago. Common thought in his circle was that marxism by itself was not enough to take down the “west”.
Nor was islam. But combined, yes it could be done. So obviously, many rodents heard the piper playing.

Obama was one of them.

When you look at the fall of Europe, you have to keep this in mind. You also have to look at his role in the Mid East leading up to Benghazi. Then you have to look at the involvement of the UN administering its Hijrah throughout Europe.

Then you have to look at the American elections, the Obama death to America agenda was supposed to continue through the nominal government of Hillary Clinton. That is why his shadow government/ that is why he would have been the greatest ghazi, from 1600.

Yes, Obama even used totalitarian measures by weaponizing all of Americas intelligence against any opposition like Stalin would by setting up a perimeter defence strategy. The use of FISA was one weapon that was used to protect their strategy, and PDJT waked into their perimeter. IT could have been anyone. Then he had SOROS and control of the medias for his propaganda machine. Then after they pinned PDJT, they brought in Beria (show me the man and I’ll show you his crimes) in his most recent manifestation as Mueller.

This PDJT war goes well beyond the election in America.

IT was about the wholesale collapse of America, her rights, liberties and freedoms.
The lights were about to go out.

I have done a lot of independent, deep investigating of Che Guevara. This gives validity to WHY I totally, completely have come to the conclusion that the United Nations has no sense of honest intellectual use of common reason, but are set out to employ their version of a perfect social order. I think it is time to shut off the lights of the UNITED NATIONS buidling in New York, send them somewhere else, and stop funding this charade.

I, also, want the united nations OUT of the USA.

Even the name United Nations is an affront to the USA.

Very proud of our President, Donald J. Trump and his dedication to this Countries restoration.
