WARNING. GRAPHIC IMAGES.
On the following page at Getty Images, you can see photographs of a nightmarish photo opportunity apparently held with the approval of United Nations peacekeepers (UN flags are everywhere in the pictures) on July 15, 2006 in Tyre, Lebanon, as men identified as Lebanese civil defense workers manhandle mutilated bodies, dragging them out of body bags and holding them up by their ankles like sides of beef, so that photographers can take picturesobviously for propaganda purposes.
This is what the United Nations does behind the scenes in Lebanon. Its grotesque to the point of absolute obscenity.
Mainstream media didnt carry these photos. Dont view them unless you have a very strong stomach.
Im not kidding.
In case the link stops working for some reason, heres a direct link to one of the photos. Remember, dont click this link if you have any doubt about your ability to handle it. I feel quite sick after seeing it myselfsick, and coldly furious at the United Nations for their enabling of such evil. Here. link: 229 comments

I viewed them, they are indeed sick and sad. The media will have a heyday with this, expect them to appear on all aztlan, answer, and other socialist blogs in the US shortly. I'm in the middle of the usual WW III update, will be popping in and out. |
The UN helped the terrorists -- as is its way.
The UN works with Hizb'allah terrorists. In this file photo,
both flags appear together.
Millions of Americans wonder why America continues to fund and
help the UN-terrorists, the UN-slavers, and the UN-rapists.

Bolton was great wasn't he? If Kerry wasn't such a weasel, you could almost feel sorry for him. Not a chance, too sinister. The dhimmicrats were completely out of their league. Cartoon: NY Sun

Soros is all over the UN. Mark Malloch Brown, the Deputy Secretary General, lives in a house Soros rents to him at rates. In violation UN staff regulations.
In my expose of Soros intent to overthrow the American piece here, I indicated how Soros pays off, buys off the UN, the Democratic party et al. In the continuing UN scandal, the inquiry into Housing Subsidies Contrary to UN Charter Goes Ignored for 8 Weeks, as Head UN Peacekeeper Does Not Respond here.
Despite numerous attempts to get to the truth, the UN continues to stonewall on this scandal. Not only stonewall, but nefariously orchestrate treacherys behind the scenes. Can't you see Soros behind this Bolton smear campaign.
On the August 29 noon briefing, Inner City Press again asked Kofi Annan's spokesman about housing subsidies:
Inner City Press Question: Yesterday, you promised an answer right after the briefing on the staff rules and housing subsidies.
Spokesman: I do have an answer, which is, first of all, we are in the process of replying to Ambassador Bolton's letter. The rules pertaining to rental subsidies and deductions are regulated through administrative instructions issued by the Secretary-General, which we can give you copies of since they are public documents.
In the process? In the process for months to answer a simple question?
Wednesday Kofi Annan's spokesman Stephane Dujarric told Inner City Press that the UN "in the last three years partly as a result of Oil-for Food and [the] Volcker [Committee], is really trying to bring itself up to standards it was never made to meet by the public or by the member states. I think we've done a tremendous amount in that regard. The issue of public disclosure is more tricky."
What's tricky about public disclosure? Unless of course you have something to hide.
What of this apparent conflict of interest? Asked Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Dujarric said among other things, "You have to have an honor system."
There is no honor among these theives. Honor system, at the UN?

Incomplete Reforms Allow for Gifts of Free Housing to UN Officials by Member States
Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press at the UN
UNITED NATIONS, August 30 -- When UN officials receive free or cut-rate housing from their countries of nationality, the UN does not consider it a gift or favor, or even remuneration. Wednesday as Inner City Press' inquiry continued, it emerged that the issue is far from abstract. In response to follow-up questions, Kofi Annan's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said, "I'm not saying there are not people that do get some benefits and have declared them, because there are, and that's being looked at." When asked if the list of recipient will be made public, Mr. Dujarric said, "These are issues that are being discussed... we may very well move to some form of public disclosure."
At the spokesman's noon media briefing on Wednesday, Inner City Press asked about whether such housing subsidy violate UN Staff Regulation 1.2(j), which states plainly that "No staff member may accept any honour, decoration, favour, gift, or remuneration from any Government." As transcribed, Inner City Press requested that the spokesman "at tomorrow's briefing publicly say if those subsidies are illegal under the rules or not." Mr. Dujarric responded, "They need to be declared and then they are deducted from the allowances received. But I will take a look at the staff rules in details and try to square that circle."
UN insiders interviewed by Inner City Press have called member-states' provision of free or cut-rate housing to their national who serve as UN officials both an open secret and a scandal. While in most legal systems a judge would not be allowed to rule in a case in which he or she was receiving free housing from one of the litigants, at the UN as disclosed Wednesday senior officials in such departments as peacekeeping and political affairs can make decisions impacting their countries while at the same time receiving free housing from their countries.
What of this apparent conflict of interest? Asked Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Dujarric said among other things, "You have to have an honor system." He used as an example that the head of the UN Department of Political Affairs Ibrahim Gambari, formerly foreign minister of Nigeria, might recuse himself from sensitive matters concerning Nigeria -- but not because of any housing subsidy. Mr. Dujarric added that he was neither saying nor not saying if Mr. Gambari receives any housing subsidy. (UN insiders note that the housing subsidy question should be addressed by Mr. Gambari's predecessor at DPA.) Mr. Dujarric also pointed denied that any housing subsidies were provided to Jean-Marie Guehenno or Louise Frechette. The Canadian mission's press officer Michael Kovrig, in response to a follow-up question from Inner City Press, I can now confirm that Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada did not provide any housing subsidy to Deputy Secretary-General Frechette."

And looking around I can't help thinking that if Churchill had to face the obstruction and opposition that Bush now faces, that we probably wouldn't have won the war. Bernard Lewis, 9/11/06 Hudson Institute Watch the video of his compelling speech below. Download BernardLewis91106.wav
Mr. Lewis served in the British army and fought the Nazis during World War II. He reflects;
"I had no doubt we would triumph. I don't have that confidence now."
I spent the day at the Hudson Institute Symposium "THE UN AND BEYOND: UNITED DEMOCRATIC NATIONS", listening to some of the best minds explore, debate, recount, and deservedly excoriate the history of UN failures.
Five years after 9/11 the UN is still unable to define terrorism.
