United Nations Wants to Outlaw “Cultural Appropriation” Worldwide

Matt Miller Jun 15th, 2017 12:37 pm 20 Comments

The UN wants to expand intellectual property regulations to include cultural entities and concepts, such as clothing, dances, arts, medicines, etc. The UN’s efforts would allow for legal action to be taken by minority groups against those who supposedly steal or monetize a piece of their culture.

The United Nations has been making efforts to outlaw “cultural appropriation” for over fifteen years. Via CBC:

Delegates from 189 countries, including Canada, are in Geneva this week as part of a specialized international committee within the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency.

Since it began in 2001, the committee has been working on creating and finishing three pieces of international law that would expand intellectual-property regulations to protect things like Indigenous designs, dances, words and traditional medicines.

The meeting takes place as concern grows worldwide about the rights of cultures to control their own materials. In the U.S. this week, designer Tory Burch agreed to change the description of one of her coats for women after Romanians protested that it had been described as African-inspired when it actually appropriated a traditional Romanian garment.”

The UN is part of the Deep State to usher in the NWO. It needs to be disbanded yesterday. We should NEVER fund it-—AND it is funded with OUR money.

The Deep State with the Federal Reserve and the Marxist Income tax put in a structure to completely enslave us-—we are paying for our own enslavement.

UN is antithetical to the Constitution—as is so many of their unconstitutional laws and regulations. The WHOLE system needs to be dismantled starting with the skool indoctrination systems which destroy virtue and force ignorance and insanity (where boys are girls) on little children.

So many of our citizens are so brain-dead and immoral from constant brainwashing by the MSM and skools, TV lies, that they are destroying our freedoms. Vice is Virtue, and the evil sodomites glorify evil so that we will all be slaves of the State. Vice creates slavery only. We are supposed to have a Justice System which can ONLY promote “public virtue” (and Truth (God).

And only the US can have mass production on assembly lines. I think the Germans only get diesels and gasoline engines go to England along with the turbine which is why Germans don’t get jets after all. Well and the Wright Brothers.

Protecting culture for some minority groups while at the same time trying to dissolve the culture of countries by insisting on a new world order and open borders!

Well, it’s a good thing TUMs were developed in America, or you’d be SOL.

Per Wiki...”In 1928, Jim Howe, a pharmacist in St. Louis, Missouri, developed Tums in the basement of his home while treating his wife’s indigestion.”

Yes, and the medicines and treatments developed in the west. Deprive the rest of the world of these and the global population might come down to where we in USA can actually thrive. Mosks and hiqabs and ramadance are all Mid-Eastern and East Asian so leave them (and their peoples) right where they are and transport the emigrees right on back there. Might not be such as bad thing.

The best thing that could happen to the UN is 27 rounds of 16”/50.

Chocolate and vanilla are from Mexico.

Okay, southern Mexico, (Chiapas area) and Guatemala. They're essentially neighbors on the isthmus.

Does this mean I can no longer buy Vedic metal from bands in Nepal; or does mean that bands in Nepal can no longer play metal?
