Time after time, the editors of Pittsburgh Tribune stood
with the pundits who took the view that America must threaten to stop paying
its dues to the United Nations – or at least reduce them – because of a decision
that was taken by one or the other of the UN agencies.
That would be the kind of decision that was liable to
irritate the Judeo-Israeli sensibilities. And what this means in plain English,
is that a UN agency would have recognized the right of the Palestinian people
to be treated like human beings which, in the eyes of the Jews, was and still
is a serious offense.
Do the editors of the Tribune continue to believe theirs was
the right stance to take? Apparently not. The way that things turned out has
forced them to believe that the shoe has gone to the other foot ... and so they
changed their mind. Simply put, they are dismayed at what they believe has been
a reversal of fortune. The result is that they now see as being the wrong thing
to do, what they used to see as being the right thing to do.
They are making their updated view known in an editorial
that came under the title “U.N. Watch: The price paid,” published on June 26,
2016 in the Tribune. Because there is no way to tell how much of what's written
represents the views of the Tribune, and how much represents the views of the
outfit that calls itself U.N. Watch, we must take it that the editorial is the
product of a mind meld between the two.
And this is how they outline their new stance: “Exactly
where the buck stops at the UN is made clear by its chief.” They go on to tell
about a UN list of war zones around the world where children suffer. What they
do not say, however, is that the children suffer because of anyone of many
reasons … ranging from a shortage of baby food to the drafting of children into
military service. Instead of explaining all that, the editors hide the truth,
and then unleash a barrage of fabricated noise to make it sound like a Saudi
apocalypse had occurred in Yemen .
Here is how they did that: “Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
said he 'temporarily deleted' a Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen from a
U.N. list of child-rights abusers in war zones after he had been threatened
with the loss of U.N. funding.” But the fact is that no threat was made by Saudi Arabia or
anyone. Also, Ban Ki-moon did not speak of a threat coming from Saudi Arabia or
anywhere. The truth is that the Pittsburgh Tribune told a damned lie because it
is in the nature of its editors to lie.
What happened was that Saudi Arabia complained of being
placed on a list that gives no specific details as to what transpired in the
war. This has allowed scoundrels like the editors of Pittsburgh Tribune, the
New York Times and Fox News to attribute to the Saudis any horror story their
sick imagination can create. The Secretary General saw merit in the Saudi
complaint and agreed to temporarily remove Saudi Arabia from the list, pending
a review of the entire situation.
The review by the Secretary General applies not just to the
Saudis but to everyone else, including by the way, Israel which is the self-declared
Godzilla of child abusers. In fact, it was the Jews who told us about the day
when they slaughtered the children of Egypt , looted their treasures, and
ran into the desert. Ever since that time, the habit of killing children has
featured prominently in Jewish folklore, having become the cornerstone of
Jewish religious beliefs. It is what drove the Jewish King Herod to slaughter
the babies of his subjects in the hope of killing baby Jesus. But that baby was
taken to Egypt
where he grew up and became the Prince of Peace that the Jews managed to get
their hands on and crucify anyway.
Now, having misrepresented the situation, having put words
in the mouth of Ban Ki-moon and having falsely attributed threats to Saudi
Arabia, the editors of the Tribune end their piece like this: “If the U.N.
mission, humanitarian or otherwise, is dictated by threats to withhold funding,
then the world body serves no greater purpose beyond perpetuating its own
survival”.
Do you realize what the editors of the Tribune just said, my
friend? They said that having spent many years pushing America to
withhold funds from the UN, they were making the world body serve the purpose
of perpetuating its own survival. They were okay then; they are okay now having
reversed their position.
