Covid tyrant Jacinda Ardern is no longer in power. However, she remains a menace to freedom. Watch her hold forth at the comparably pernicious United Nations regarding the need to suppress dissident speech — or as authoritarian moonbats call it, “mis- and disinformation”:

War is peace; freedom is slavery; censorship protects free speech, which must be abolished because it is a weapon of war.

On a tip from Wiggins.

In case anyone hadn’t noticed that next up for normalization after homosexuality and transsexuality is pedophilia, or that the United Nations is not just irritating but evil:

From UNAIDS:

The International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) along with UNAIDS and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) officially launched a new set of expert jurist legal principles to guide the application of international human rights law to criminal law.

UNAIDS and OHCHR are part of the United Nations. “Human rights” in this context is Liberalese for “decay.”

Ian Seiderman, Law and Policy Director at ICJ, complains that “there has been a growing trend towards overcriminalization.” This applies to a variety of degenerate behavior that meets with globalist approval:

The ‘8 March principles’ … were finalized in 2022. Initially, the principles focused on the impact of criminal laws proscribing sexual and reproductive health and rights, consensual sexual activity, gender identity, gender expression, HIV non-disclosure, exposure and transmission, drug use and the possession of drugs for personal use. Later, based on the inputs of civil society and other stakeholders, criminalization linked to homelessness and poverty were also included.

That is, the UN promotes the legalization of abortion, corrupt sex (explicitly including prostitution, homosexuality, and pedophilia), transsexualism (implicitly including sex change operations, presumably on children as well as mentally ill adults), knowingly spreading HIV without telling sexual partners, and recreational drug use. The “criminalization” of homelessness likely refers to derelicts not always being allowed to reduce public areas to 24-hour open air drug dens.

Laws against these approved activities “perpetuate stigma, harmful gender stereotypes and discrimination based on such grounds as gender or sexual orientation.”

Yes, the debauchery applies to children. Presenting Principle 16 (starting on page 22):

Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/ gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances. Consensual same-sex, as well as consensual different-sex sexual relations, or consensual sexual relations with or between trans, non-binary and other genderdiverse people, or outside marriage – whether pre-marital or extramarital – may, therefore, never be criminalized.

With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.

Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct…

The sexual molestation of children by adults is never consensual in any meaningful sense.

If we can’t at least all agree that the United Nations must be abolished and the UN building bulldozed into the East River, there is no hope for unity.

By the way, American taxpayers are forced to provide this pernicious globalist institution a staggering $12.5 BILLION per year, even as we struggle to pay our own debts.

On tips from Occam’s Stubble and Bluto.

The zany ideology of our moonbat rulers stops being funny when they superimpose it on the real world. For example, in the name of their imaginary climate crisis, the kooks comprising the United Nations are planning measures that could disrupt the planet’s ability to sustain life:

The United Nations published an in-depth document outlining possible “Solar Radiation Modification” programs, otherwise describing a series of methods to cool the earth’s temperature in emergency situations.

According to devotees of the global warming hoax, we are already in an emergency situation and always will be so long as the climate fluctuates or there is weather.

UN bureauweenies admit there is “little information on the risks of SRM,” but they have experts to resolve the issue. Similar experts in the UN’s World Health Organization resolved how to deal with Covid.

The first suggested method involves stratospheric aerosol injections, or “SAI,” which involve “injecting highly reflective sub-micron-size particles into the stratosphere,” requiring aircrafts that can release the particles at an altitude of 20-25 kilometers.

Any country that tries to do this should be nuked immediately before it makes the planet unlivable for the rest of us.

The idea was theorized around 2017 and then subsequently experimented with by Bill Gates and Harvard University in 2018.

If it is sinister enough for Bill Gates and his fellow liberal elitists at Harvard, it’s surprising James Bond never had to stop SPECTRE from doing it.

Another method is known as “marine cloud brightening,” which “would be achieved by introducing sea salt aerosols to produce a larger number of smaller cloud droplets, thus ‘brightening’ clouds.”

Again the objective would be to reflect sunlight back into space, because according to liberal ideology, the sunlight that sustains all life on earth is bad.

A third method involves simulating the effects of a volcanic eruption that blocks out the sun’s rays.

Remember when we were warned of the “nuclear winter” that could threaten the existence of the human race following WWIII? Progressives want to bring this about on purpose by polluting the air with sulfur dioxide.

Sulfur dioxide is described as “a toxic gas responsible for the odor of burnt matches. It is released naturally by volcanic activity and is produced as a by-product of copper extraction and the burning of sulfur-bearing fossil fuels.”

The smell of this poisonous gas has been associated with hell and Satan for good reason. As we should have learned from the 100 million killed by their own communist governments, letting leftists take control means creating hell on earth.

Other suggestions include “whitening the roofs of urban buildings” with paint to make them more reflective, genetically modifying the color of crops to make them reflect sunlight, and of course “space mirrors.”

The latter options for rejecting the sun’s life-giving rays are where they will probably start: gigantic futile gestures that will cost $trillions and accomplish nothing whatsoever. But when these fail to eradicate weather, the UN will have to fall back on the more extreme measures — unless we wise up by then and call in an air strike on UN headquarters.

Compliments of Chuck A.

If you like our Climate Czar John Kerry, who wants to impose a Third World lifestyle on his own country because this will supposedly improve the weather, even as he takes a private jet to Iceland to collect a climate kook award, you will love COP27, the climate cult revival currently underway in Egypt:

Climate delegates were accused of hypocrisy after 400 private jets arrived in Egypt for COP27.

Accusing the climate priesthood of hypocrisy is like accusing water of being wet.

According to the European clean transport campaign group Transport and Environment, a private jet can emit two tonnes of carbon dioxide in an hour and is five to 14 times more polluting per passenger than a commercial plane.

Yet the liberal ruling class proclaims that they must snuff out freedom and radically reduce our standard of living lest we help plants grow by emitting allegedly harmful CO2, because as UN Secretary-General António Guterres barks, the planet “is literally on fire.”

‘Humanity has a choice: cooperate or perish,’ UN chief Antonio Guterres told the summit on November 7.

Do your worst, Guterres.

The hypocrisy did not stop at the travel arrangements. Globalists want us to eat insects so as to serve the climate, bringing us to the topic of the menu:

Those with a taste for the luxurious can snap up an angus beef medallion with sautéed potatoes for a pricey $100 (£90) or a creamy salmon for $40 (£35), after scoffing back a $50 (£43) seafood platter for starter.

COP26 was similarly opulent. Nothing is too good for the taxpayer-financed Liberal World Order that rules over us little people.

As Robert Spencer notes,

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) declares: “Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein.”

This isn’t just abstract speculation. As far back as 2013, the UN was trying to sell this disgusting notion: “While the idea of eating a worm, grasshopper or cicada at every meal may seem strange, FAO says this has many health benefits. Insects are high in protein, fat and mineral contents. They can be eaten whole or ground into a powder or paste, and incorporated into other foods. ‘Insects are not harmful to eat, quite the contrary. They are nutritious, they have a lot of protein and are considered a delicacy in many countries,’ said Eva Muller, the Director of FAO’s Forest Economics, Policy and Products Division.”

Actually, they are so harmful to eat. That’s why we find the idea of eating them disgusting. It is why they have to be heavily processed to qualify as edible (lefties also tell us that processed foods are so bad, they should be regulated as drugs). It is why you won’t find John Kerry or Antonio Guterres eating bugs.

Remarks Harris Rigby,

It’s almost, almost, as if they ALL know it’s an absolute hoax.

Almost? Of course the ruling elite know their climate crisis is a hoax. But they also know that rank and file Democrats will believe anything whatsoever to help their team win. The ability of otherwise intelligent people to swallow preposterous lies on behalf of a malevolent agenda is a horror to behold.

Everything leftists infiltrate, they subvert and subordinate to their twisted agenda, rendering it useless for any other purpose. The Long March Through the Institutions has moved beyond the media, entertainment, schools, and the government to attack the most basic foundations of civilization — including even science.

This is accomplished not only through government control of funding, but by directly controlling the flow of information and redefining science through a political lens.

Two of the farthest left institutions on the planet are Google and the United Nations. Watch Melissa Fleming of the UN Department of Global Communications boast that the two are working together to suppress information that does not support their strategy of seizing wealth and power through the climate crisis hoax:

“We own the science,” crows Fleming. If this is true, there is no science, only propaganda.

“All sectors of society need to be very active” in promoting ruling class opinion (i.e., moonbattery) and suppressing dissent. That they are.

Modern leftism is heavily influenced by postmodernism. Academic moonbats literally believe that objective reality, if it even exists, is irrelevant. According to their ideology, all that matters is the consensus they create by controlling what we say.

The climate crisis will become real when they have achieved the leverage to force everyone to pretend it is real. The tyranny it will be used to justify will dwarf the cost of Covid.

On tips from Dragon’s Lair and Occam’s Stubble. Hat tip: Vlad Tepes.

Looks like a state of emergency is the new normal. The World Health Organization’s communist Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has declared a global health emergency over monkeypox — despite only five people having died worldwide and despite his own expert committee voting against the declaration.

Here’s why it qualifies as an emergency:

“Although I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern, for the moment this is an outbreak that is concentrated among men who have sex with men, especially those with multiple sexual partners,” Tedros told a media briefing in Geneva.

A disease is more serious if it is spread primarily among homosexuals, because according to the value system of the Liberal World Order, members of the LGBT community are worth more than normal people. That’s why so much of our money is spent on AIDS relative to more prevalent lethal diseases:

[The National Institutes of Health] spends about $2,583 each year per person with HIV/AIDS, $418 each year per person with cancer, and only $38 each year per person with diabetes.

Confirming that this is about Cultural Marxism, not public health, Tedros yelps that “Stigma and discrimination can be as dangerous as any virus.”

At least, since it is primarily a disease of homosexuals, we don’t have to worry much about children. But I’m forgetting — there is now such a thing as LGBT youth, enabled and empowered by the groomers who dominate public schools. Consequently, at least 181 K-12 educators have been arrested for sex crimes involving children in the USA so far this year. This could make monkeypox an issue for kids.

On tips from Blackjack, ABC of the ANC, Dragon’s Lair, and Mr. Freemarket.

Just in case there is anyone who still doesn’t understand what the Liberal World Order entails (besides high gas prices), the United Nations spelled it out by touting the benefits of world hunger.

Via Climate Depot:

The UN Chronicle, which bills itself as “The magazine of the United Nations, Since 1946” originally published this essay in 2008 by Professor George Kent of the University of Hawaii: “Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour. … How many of us would sell our services if it were not for the threat of hunger?”

“More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger?”

For once, instead of the usual pious doubletalk about equity, we get some sincerity:

“For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.”

Asks the author,

Who would have established massive biofuel production operations in Brazil if they did not know there were thousands of hungry people desperate enough to take the awful jobs they would offer?

Biofuels are an economically inefficient boondoggle propped up with coercive funding by Big Government in the name of the climate.

Speaking of global warming idiocy, another benefit of world hunger is that according to the woke ideology of our globalist ruling class, food makes it be too warm outside. That’s why they plan for us to eat insects instead.

After people outside the liberal elite discovered the article (archived here), the UN said “just kidding” and deleted it:

The piece could have been satire as the UN now claims. The point would be that people should be given what they need at someone else’s expense by an all-powerful globalist government regardless of whether they are willing to work.

On tips from R F and Occam’s Stubble.

Did the 24/7 media coverage convince you that there is a war in Ukraine? Did you think Russia had invaded? Then you are using an outmoded version of the Newspeak Dictionary and should update at once, in light of new revisions from the United Nations:

The United Nations’ Department of Global Communications instructed staff of the international organisation not to refer to the situation in Ukraine as a “war” or “invasion”, in a move to balance political sensitivities as powerful member state Russia cracks down domestically on those who use the words.

Instead, UN staff were instructed to use the terms “conflict” or “military offensive” to describe Russia’s invasion of its neighbour, which has killed hundreds of civilians and forced two million people to flee the country.

In an email to a staff mailing list on Monday with the subject line “Ukraine crisis communications guidelines”, the director of the United Nations Regional Information Centre instructed employees not to describe the situation as a war and not to add the Ukrainian flag to personal or official social media accounts or websites.

Globalist bureauweenies have to be mindful of certain sensitivities. The only countries they don’t need to worry about offending are the USA and Israel.

The UN might have issued a resolution condemning the “military offensive” against Ukraine. But that is off the table, because Russia can block it as a permanent member of the Security Council.

That’s how useful the United Nations is. That’s what American taxpayers gets for our $11 billion per year.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

American taxpayers are forced to pour about $11 billion per year into the coffers of the wannabe world government of the United Nations. We finance 22% of its entire budget. To put it mildly, we have not been getting our money’s worth. The UN has long been hostile to the USA. Considering that it is actively supporting an invasion of US territory, you could say it is at war with us:

The U.S.-funded United Nations is providing cash to help job-seeking migrants trek up through South America, Central America, and Mexico, says Todd Bensman at the Center for Immigration Studies.

According to Bensman,

They’re giving money out at way-stations up and down the [migrant] trail … There’s a process [in Tapachula]: You get your Mexican [visa] papers, then you go to the UN building next door, get an appointment, and they interview you and look at your situation… It’s not big money, and not all of them get it, but enough get it to sustain them so they don’t have to go home, and so they can go on to the next way station.

The endless torrent of grasping Third Worlders are not immigrants in any legitimate sense, because they enter the country in violation of our laws and our sovereignty. They are a conquering invasion force, and an especially dangerous one, given their potentially infinite numbers. Instead of ruling over us, they will displace us, so that our country will no longer exist.

Invasion is the ultimate act of war. Assisting it is also an act of war. Bulldozing the UN building into the East River and then defending the southern border as if we want to have a future would be the most sensible response.

On a tip from Feet2Fire.

When you put up your United Nations flag this morning, raise it only to half-mast. The nascent world government of globalist do-gooders is mourning the existence of corruption. From its announcement that today is International Anticorruption Day:

Corruption affects all areas of society. Preventing corruption unlocks progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, helps protect our planet, creates jobs, achieves gender equality, and secures wider access to essential services such as healthcare and education.

They forgot to mention racial equality.

Other things they forgot to mention include the Iraq oil for food scandal, the pilfered tsunami relief money for Indonesia, and of course the ongoing child sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers.

To quote Fraud Eats Strategy,

The United Nations and its various agencies are much more susceptible to corruption than most organizations given the unique nature of how donor countries, beneficiary countries and local and national government officials interact. … [Due to the] nature of how the UN is funded and disperses funds for large scale infrastructure building, healthcare services, facilities and medication, education and peacekeeping operations in disproportionately high corruption risk countries, and the fact that its employees and officers are foreign officials under the law, the UN represents a perfect storm of corruption risk. Indeed, there’ve been numerous high-profile corruption investigations in which UN agencies and officials were at the center of the storm.

As Claudia Rosett observed back in 2006,

Behind the specific scandals lies what one of the UN’s own internal auditors has termed a “culture of impunity.” A grand committee that reports to itself alone, the UN operates with great secrecy and is shielded by diplomatic immunity. One of its prime defenses, indeed, is the sheer impenetrability of its operations: after more than 60 years as a global collective, it has become a welter of so many overlapping programs, far-flung projects, quietly vested interests, nepotistic shenanigans, and interlocking directorates as to defy accurate or easy comprehension, let alone responsible supervision.

That was the year they announced “UN Ethics Day.” It didn’t work. But maybe International Anticorruption Day will be more successful.

The one thing the United Nations will always succeed at is bringing a warm glow to liberal hearts with its sanctimonious posturing. That’s what we US taxpayers get for our money.

On a tip from Lyle.

The United Nations may have kicked a hornet’s nest by demanding that Elon Musk hand over $6 billion to its bureaucrats in the name of world hunger.

When UN World Food Program Director David Beasley said the $6 billion would save 42 million people who otherwise are “literally going to die,” Musk agreed to give the money, but only if WFP can explain “exactly how $6B will solve world hunger.”

Musk has probably heard the joke regarding what you get if you feed a million starving Africans: 10 million starving Africans. You also get a few hundred fat UN bureaucrats, so Musk further stipulated that “it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.”

From there it went downhill for the UN:

The link in Musk’s tweet goes to a story about children as young as 9 being forced to provide UN officials with oral sex in return for food:

Memos about the sexual abuse in the Central African Republic were “passed from desk to desk, inbox to inbox, across multiple UN offices, with no one willing to take responsibility”, the report found. It added: “The welfare of the victims and the accountability of the perpetrators appeared to be an afterthought, if considered at all.” …

No one has been arrested more than a year and a half after UN authorities were made aware of the sexual abuse allegations. …

It took almost a year for UN staff to respond to allegations of rape by six children.

The story was updated yesterday but originally appeared in 2015. Whether there has been any accountability is doubtful.

Maybe Beastly will bring us all up to date on whether any justice has been done and whether the UN has cleaned up its act.

Probably not though. As enVolve notes,

Most of the media reports concerning the Twitter exchange didn’t even mention Musk challenging Beasley about the child abuse sex scandal.

That means Beastly has no good answers.

On a tip from R F.

Because we need to be defenseless, domestic leftists cannot complete their agenda without first confiscating our firearms. They can’t confiscate our firearms without first forcing us to register them. The globalist left could be helpful in that regard:

The Biden administration this week signaled that it is eyeing a United Nations small arms treaty that critics claim will lead to an international gun registration plan — including for individual American gun owners. …

“I have come from Washington, D.C., this week to take the floor on the agenda item Treaty Universalization to underscore the continuing commitment of the United States to responsible international trade in conventional arms,” William Malzahn said at the 7th Conference of States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty.

Malzahn is a Foggy Bottom apparatchik — specifically, Acting Deputy Director of the Office of Conventional Arms Threat Reduction, Bureau of International Security & Nonproliferation at Antony Blinken’s US Department of State.

The NRA has warned that, among many moves, the treaty will require all arms that Americans buy from overseas makers to be tracked. To do that, a global gun registry would be created and maintained for 10 years. Every owner will be listed on that registry.

Democrats pursue their objectives sneakily. Their incremental approach to imposing Marxism is a case in point.

Few will miss the irony of Biden working insidiously to disarm the American population after arming Taliban terrorists with $billions worth of weaponry at our expense.
