Human Rights
I am in no way a fan of the United Nations, the UN is in my opinion a farce that is intended to centralize power with the same criminal/politicians that are duping humanity into our voluntary self destruction through the ongoing rape of the planet and the production and distribution of weapons of war. Kofi Annan's role is to put a likable and trustable face on the United Nations so we will continue to be manipulated and fooled. I can think of no better example of 21st Century Imperialism than the UN veto powers reserved for the United States, England, France, Russia, and China. As long as veto powers exist for less than 3% of the participating nations in the UN than we as people are outright fools if we really think it is in fact a "United Nations."
The unanimous UN vote in July 2002 supporting the United States demands for "immunity" from potential charges of crimes against humanity within the newly formed International Criminal Court further destroyed any illusions that the UN serves the interests of the majority of people on this planet. The United States; the nation that committed the international crime of aggression by invading Iraq and currently conducting mass murder and crimes against humanity by its use of cluster bombs and Depleted Uranium throughout the invasion; this same nation disgustingly obtained "immunity" for these crimes from the so-called "United Nations." Think about it.
And now the United States is ordering the UN to come and clean up its mess. The UN is and has been a highly useful tool for the continuation of the status quo that insures chaos, oppression and war via US global domination.
But within this disgrace known as the United Nations are some highly useful tools that can be and should be employed to benefit humanity and our planet.
It has long been my understanding that focus on negatives and infighting will get us nowhere, yet we must be fully aware of what is wrong in order to effect solutions. With this understanding I cite the horrendous reality of the UN while acknowledging the good that can be taken from it. Of most use is one single document that has been ratified into law by nearly every nation on this planet, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Regardless of who wrote it, and how ignored it is, this is a sound document with major safeguards for humanity, if adhered to that is.
The question is do 'We the People;' (especially those of us in the prosperous Western nations) really care about our human brothers and sisters around the globe? If we do not, which tragically is true for many, than let us be honest and admit our world is nothing more than a free for all where "might makes right." If that be the case than I say emphatically that I would rather die than see this pathetic existence progress to its logical conclusion. I say loud and clear once and for all, as a member of the human family I demand the inherent human rights for all of my brothers and sisters around the globe be honored forthwith.
Registering as a World citizen affirms an individuals legal commitment to honouring all inherent human rights and that is precisely why I am a registered World citizen (number 321831).
Excuses from puppets like Kofi Annan will appease those of conscience no longer, do not insult us by saying we are "making progress" but the issues are "complex." Bullshit, we must face the fact that our so-called "democratically elected representatives" or "leaders" are grossly incapable of providing the basic needs and rights for humanity because they are puppets controlled by a tiny minority of tyrants. These tyrant multi-billionaires could by virtue of their own insane wealth provide food, water and housing for every single human being on the planet, but they actively choose not to. There is nothing complex about that. But we as "citizens," as human beings have failed thus far to open our eyes to these simple truths, and in doing so we are failing in our moral obligation to our human family. Let us stop the madness, enough is enough, human rights provided and protected for all people is the only way to stop s0-called "terrorism."
Once we open our hearts and eyes to this truth we overcome the single biggest obstacle to obtaining a world of Truth Justice & Peace. "Power to the People." - Ken Nichols O'Keefe
