A Forgotten Man

Had you ever heard of Sean Lester? No, well neither had I.

In fact like most people, I have hardly heard of the ‘League of Nations’, the precursor to the modern 'United Nations'. It was set up after World War I in 1919 and was largely the dream of the US President Woodrow Wilson, but was probably doomed from the start (it had no armed forces, or commitment from ‘the great powers’ to back its resolutions with armed force) – its maximum membership was just 58 member nations.

By the 1930’s, the Axis powers; Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain and others, started leaving and the organization collapsed as the world geared up for WWII.

So who was Sean Lester? Well amongst other things, he was the last Secretary General of the League of Nations, and probably the last person to tell Adolf Hitler ‘No’  in Germany, while he was 'High Commissioner' in the Baltic port of Danzig (which the Germans wanted back under German control) … he opposed Nazi attempts to limit freedom of speech, and he criticised moves by Hitler to silence his political opponents. He was eventually removed from his post as 'High Commissioner' by a combination of events and the Nazis, and spent the war years in Geneva, where he was installed as the last Secretary-General of the League of Nations, before the United Nations was created in 1945.

Western history never completely forgets these figures, and there are moves afoot to commemorate this Ulsterman’s life with a street name or plaque, here and there ….

The United Nations and Womens Rights ....

In one of those stories that proves that the world has gone truly insane, the United Nations new super-agency to promote women's rights, is likely to get two members that weren't envisaged when the agency was proposed .......... Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Yes, the peace loving sponsors of Islamic fundamentalism worldwide are to be able to set the agenda and what constitutes a woman's rights around the world ...... women be afraid, be very afraid.
Both of them employ religious Mutaween police to whip women in the streets ......


Iranian Religious Police respecting women's rights ...
Ah well, I guess this is what the UN has become these days ..... and the West says nothing.

UN Racism Forum Is Racist

Once again the United Nations demonstrates that its thoroughly demeaned as an organisation to police mankind.

Anti-Racism Campaigns Often Uses Aggressive Imagery
Anti-Racism's Often Aggressive Imagery

UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay has organised an "Anti-Racism" forum and was then "shocked", when a lot of Western nations pulled out. They said there was no point in going, because it was just an excuse for Islamic countries to attack rich Non Muslim countries (as it had been the last time one of these forums had been held), especially as the prime speaker was to be President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.

It should also be noted that these attacks, are usually against the "white colonialists" i.e. those who give three quarters of world aid, but get abused for not doing even more, or "The Zionists" as Israel is called by Muslims. It appears that in some minds, only Whites and Jews are 'racists', and things like the Indian "caste system", or the world wide eradication of 'Christians' (or 'crusaders' as the local mob will call them), from Muslim lands etc, are not racist.

Finally, someone in the West has woken up to attempts in the UN to allow anyone who criticises Islam to be arrested, and to exempt these arrests from being attacks on "Free Speech", because this forum, at the request of middle eastern nations, still contains a clause in the declaration, about the incitement of religious hatred (i.e. criticising Islam).

Many Western countries see this as a curtailment of free speech, and cite this as another reason not to attend (although the UK seems not to be one of them, as we are sending a delegation).
