U.N. Bows To Saudi Financial Threats, Removes KSA From Child Killers ListBy Brandon Turbeville While Syria was, without a doubt, the most secular and safest place in the Middle East for minorities (ethnic and religious) and women before the 2011 Western-backed destabilization, Saudi Arabia maintained its policy of slavery and gross oppression of women. The righteous and sanctimonious West, however, said not a word about the savage feudal monarchy of the House of Saud. After numerous reports began surfacing regarding Saudi cruelty and the oppressive Saudi state, and after a massive torrent of coverage coming from the alternative press, the crimes of the Saudi monarchy could no longer be completely ignored; a fact which has highlighted not only the horrors of Saudi leadership but the hypocrisy of the West. Thus, after a significant expos of Saudi war crimes and human rights violations at home and abroad, even the United Nations could no longer remain silent. As a result, the U.N.s Children And Armed Conflict report for 2015 listed Saudi Arabia and its anti-Houthi coalition in Yemen as parties that kill or maim children and parties that engage in attacks on schools and/or hospitals. The reports findings were based on the work of U.N. researchers stationed in Yemen who attributed 60 percent of killed and injured children in that country to the bombs dropped by the Saudi coalition. Yet Saudi Arabias name was eventually struck off the list provided in the report less than a week after it was released, a decision that was made by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The reason for Ki-moons revision of the report was simple he was threatened with the loss of funds being provided for U.N. relief efforts in Syria, Sudan, and Palestine if he did not remove Saudi Arabia from the list of child killers. Although Ki-moon did not mention who it was that threatened him, it was apparent that the threats came from the Saudis who did all but admit that they were, indeed, the country suggesting they would withhold funds. We didnt use threats but such listing will obviously have an impact on our relations with the U.N., said Saudi Ambassador to the U.N. Abdallah al-Mouallimi. Saudi Arabia is the largest donor to the United Nations in the Middle East and has provided the organization with millions for programs aimed at Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. The report describes horrors no child should have to face, Ki-moon said. At the same time, I also had to consider the very real prospect that millions of other children would suffer grievously if, as was suggested to me, countries would defund many U.N. programs. Children already at risk in Palestine, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and so many other places would fall further into despair. In other words, Ki-moon has abandoned children in Yemen for money. Plain and simple. There is no way around it. He can claim that he made a risks/benefits analysis and a decision for the greater good but, at the end of the day, he sold children down the river for cash. None of this is surprising, of course. But it does highlight a number of problems that need to be addressed. First, it is apparent that the mainstream and official willful ignorance and failure to address Saudi war crimes and crimes against humanity are going to continue. Second, it is apparent that the United Nations is exactly what so many informed observers and U.N. critics have always known it to be a corrupt embodiment of the worker bees for a world oligarchy in need of an official world governance structure. Third, this situation illustrates the immense dangers surrounding the growth of the power of the United Nations in world affairs as well as any other global governance institution that supersedes national sovereignty. Indeed, the U.N. reaction to Saudi Arabias threats are a perfect example of why organizations like the United Nations are incredibly dangerous to the individual liberties and living standards of every human being on earth. With as much power as the United Nations and its international sister organizations like the WTO, World Bank, IMF and others already have over the decisions of individual nations, one need not look very far to see the dangers that a United Nations acting as an official world government structure a destination at which the U.N. is rapidly arriving would potentially pose to the worlds people. After all, the United Nations has been known for some time to merely be a global version of what is already in existence at the national level a gaggle of corrupt bureaucrats and oligarchs intent on maintaining their own power. This is why the United States can march across the earth, visiting death and destruction on innocent people with no condemnation, and a simple financial threat can eliminate any condemnation of murdering children abroad. While many well-meaning observers may have an idealistic view of the United Nations as an organization that stands above the fray, with the best interest of the worlds most disadvantaged people, women, oppressed minorities, and children at heart, the recent decision by Ban Ki-moon should serve as proof that the United Nations is every bit as dirty and favorable to world financial power as any national government. These proponents of increased U.N. authority should think long and hard before they wish away their sovereignty to an international body that so blatantly makes decisions on human rights with a calculator. Any further authority granted to the U.N. will thus be nothing more than a worldwide version of the U.S. government with a healthy dash of the Soviet Union thrown into the mix.

Yea, they whine about conspiracys, and screams about Gun control, but when it comes to weponds of mass destruction, cluster bombs kills for decades after dropped, maims for eons to come everything inlc livestock. The Saudi/western war in Yemen is an shame, I am lost for words. The UN is rotten to its core, even the bone marrow is an stinking suage of manure. peace In 1989, the nations of the United Nations, save for the United States, ratified the CONVENTION FOR THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN. Well, that signed off, the member nations of the UN promptly returned to business as usual, the selling of children into slavery, the permission of mass female genital mutilation, the flogging and capital murder of anyone speaking against the societally approved harm done to children, the bombing of hundreds of locations where the primary victims are children. Saudi Arabias alleged royal house was placed in power by Great Britain and the United States. They answer to these countries. In the minds of the Arabs, the US is doing the same or greater harm to local children, women and old people, while taking young men and turning them into radicalized terrorists. It would be the pot calling the kettle black for the US to allow Saudi Arabia, its long term ally and partner in crime, to be embarrassed by charges of harming children when the US does it every day. That the UN is just as likely to bend to financial pressure as all of the news media outlets in the US is not difficult to imagine. Money is behind most power, and the UN, like the US military, is not an organization that intends to make the lives of the 8 billion of us peasants any better. As Ralph Nader explained clearly during the 1980s and 1990s, the world is run by Corporations and Central Bankers, the two highly related. They have it just as they want it, with peasants in turmoil, barely able to feed themselves. Those making fat cat salaries for this or that title arent going to risk anything by actually speaking the Truth. Aint ever going to happen. UN = NWO = Global Elite = Rockefellers and Rothschilds Former Yemen President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi ousted by Houthi rebels = ingratiating darling of global elite and global MSM. Hadi was in favor of the new global order (NWO) which = Agenda 2030 aka Vision 2030 as euphemistically referred to in the global media and middle east. NWO = the end justifies the means .which is also why the UN turned a blind eye on Iraq and the 500K+ children who died from the sanctions following the first Gulf war. after the Brexit vote, it will only be a matter of time that America and Saudi along with ISRAEL will be finished, now that Britain has dumped the AMERICAN creation the EU, NATO this bunch of US serial killers in uniform will be next on the list to be dumped, it is the first move and it could mean peace in Europe, and trade with Russia, Europe does not need anymore contrived Cold wars or wars of any kind, so go home AMERICA and stay there. The Usurped Nations is a joke. Abolish these idiots. UN, Nato, IMF = rebranded JewishNazis.
