USA Shows Massive Hypocrisy By Pulling Out Of The UN Human Rights Council
By Dark Politricks
After more than a year of warnings, the Trump administration has announced that the United States is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council, citing hypocrisy and anti-Israel bias.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley announced this decision in a joint statement Tuesday complaining about the countries that sit on the council and of course, anti-Israeli bias, even when they are blatantly breaking international law such as the recent massacre in Gaza where snipers shot people praying.
Nikki Haley talked about massive hypocrisy with states with bad human rights being allowed to sit on the council.
This itself is massive hypocrisy from the US when they themselves put the most barbaric, 7th century, Shari law following, terrorist supporting country e.g Saudi Arabia, on to the council. Did they think they had a good human rights record and why?
They still behead people for things like witchcraft and sorcery and more recently publicly lashed a woman who was also jailed for being gang raped as an adulterer. This is total madness from the US and just makes us over here in Europe think the US is more in tune with the nearly 80 dictatorships that they support around the world and sell arms to.
The US too should be held to account for their illegal actions and the breaking of international law that they helped create in the Nuremberg trials. Preemptive war against another country was put as the worst thing a country could do as Germany had invaded parts of Europe. However skip 50 odd years and the US is doing exactly that.
They are illegally invading countries such as Iraq which had nothing to do with 9.11, not that the US media did much to dispel that myth, killing over 200,000 people and creating sectarian violence which led to the Shi’ite government close to Iran and the Sunni’s forming militias and eventually armies such as ISIS, with a little CIA help.
This is all about Israel and their recent massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. A security council resolution was of course vetoed by the US who tried to turn it into a resolution against Hamas who had nothing to do with the Israeli killing of hundreds and wounding of thousands of people. You can see Israeli resolutions vetoed by the US here.
No Israeli soldiers or citizens were hurt in this bloodbath but over a thousand Palestinians were injured and killed. Snipers were shooting reporters, people praying, disabled people, children and it had nothing to do with Hamas.
The US always vetoes anything that the security council tries to say on Israeli matters which prevents any action from being taken as it has to be a unanimous vote.
President Obama who disliked the racist leader of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and was overheard talking to ex French President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy in 2011. Apparently they were overheard on an open microphone saying:
“I can’t stand him. He’s a liar,” Sarkozy said of Netanyahu.
Obama replied, “You’re tired of him; what about me? I have to deal with him every day,”

Plus the Americans are probably one of the most anti-human rights county on earth when you consider their bullying attitude to other countries, indefinite detention, drones killing US citizens without due process, their selling of arms to dictators, the illegal wars they have started, support of terrorist groups in the Middle East, especially Syria.
Also closer to home their politicians treat their own citizens like farm animals, only caring about them when they need their vote to keep themselves in luxurious power.
The loss of civil liberties in the US has been massive with now admitted spying on their own people, locking up of whistle blowers trying to bring attention to illegal behaviour, the massive private prison complexes where the prisoners are treated as a free workforce for the companies and the corruption of the police forces who are told, as in Baltimore, to carry spare guns to place by the bodies of innocent people they had killed.
Their treatment of the 99% as opposed to the 1% has been a disgrace with no politicians apart from Bernie Sanders and a few more speaking out about it.
The US is the richest country in the world yet they have massive tent cities all over the place where people have been kicked out of their homes due to Wall St excess, something Trump has allowed again after repealing the weak Dodd-Frank bill, which was passed in the first place after the financial crisis.
They have laws that allow corporations to do pretty much what they want such as Nestle who took water from drought areas on an expired permit only to sell it back to people at inflated prices. No authority tried to stop them or make them pay for taking the water for free and allowing citizens to have limited water supply at home.
They don’t help their hurricane hit areas such as Porto Rico as much as they could, and seeing that the US seem to get these massive storms every year, seemingly worse and worse, having a climate change denier in power will do no good for anyone.
Trump is able to just increase the deficit whenever he wants for illegal wars but he claims that there is no money for free education or health care. Even Democrats voted to give him an extra $80 billion a year, something the military didn’t even ask for. That money could have helped so many American citizens living on minimum wage and struggling just to survive but I guess to the one party state of USA, war comes first.
Deficits and trillion dollar debts are okay when it’s used to fight wars to make the Military Industrial Complex rich, but helping their own citizens is way down the list of priorities it seems to an outsider. It is really a war economy over in the states.
The USA have almost 1000 military bases around the world. I am sure a lot, if not most could be shut down, and the money saved used to help the people at home in America.
They spend more than most other countries military budgets combined and complain when Russia tries to defend itself from being surrounded by US and NATO bases, something James Baker promised Gorbachev when the Berlin wall fell, that the US would not move an inch further towards Russia. Now look at the placement of bases and the US attempts to stop them having naval bases in Crimea and Syria.
The Crimean people held a referendum that was monitored by international organisations who said it was all above board and they joined Russia. The US screamed blue murder but forget that they allowed the same thing in Kosovo, due to Serbia being a Russian ally and that they fomented the pro-Nazi coup in Ukraine in the first place that forced Russia to take back Crimea.
Do they not remember that when Russia was invaded in WWII it was through Ukraine which saw some of the biggest battles of the war and that the western Ukrainians welcomed the Germans with flowers as they rolled their tanks in and many joined as Nazi collaborators. Many western Ukrainians are still pro-Nazi and there is no wonder Russia didn’t want a far right, anti Russian government on it’s door step.
However hypocrisy is America’s strong point.
They let their dictator allies buy arms and kill their own people but point the finger at countries like Russia for trying to protect their borders from Nazis and other CIA plots and fake terror.
Most recently we had the recent Skripal poisoning in the UK.
Even the UK’s Porton Down lab, which has a dubious past of testing drugs, LSD and nerve agents on soldiers, couldn’t say that the agent was from Russia. So with no proof that the nerve agent was Russian they were still blamed and punished by sanctions.
How would the US like it if they were on the receiving end for once?
Other countries in the UN seem too scared to put resolutions on the table against the US and there is a lot they could condemn the US for as previously mentioned including their 17 year stay in Afghanistan where they went to defeat al-Qaeda, did so but are still there. Fighting people who when surveyed 92% had never heard of the attacks on the WTC on 9.11.
Western leadership needs to come from European countries now as the US seemingly doesn’t want to play ball with the rest of the world, and we need to start saying NO to the US when they demand we all join them on sanctions against Russia without proof, or let us take the burden and problems caused by the refugees caused in wars the US helped start.
I know that NATO, CIA, and the Axis of War have their own despicable ties, lies, and secret projects but the US pulling out of climate change agreements and other multi national deals such as the Iran deal and now the Human Rights Council means they are looking more despotic by the day.
It seems to have to got worse and worse since the almost saintly Ronald Reagan years that Republicans gush about forgetting his role in selling arms to Iran in the Contra scandal.
His lies over drugs where his policy of “just say no” was covering up massive imports of Cocaine to Mena Airport in Arkansas only to be turned into crack and sold on the streets of inner cities. Just look up Freeway Ricky Ross (not the rapper of the same name) and Gary Webb’s Dark Alliance. A journalist who tried breaking the story and was found dead from a two shot to the head “suicide”.
Nikki Haley is a joke trying to blame “anti Israeli bias” for their decision as Hamas had nothing to do with the recent Israeli massacre in Gaza and her rants at the UN are pathetic because if the US hadn’t promised to veto ANY security council resolution on Israel, their illegal settlements, recent massacres, illegal wars and assassinations then maybe we wouldn’t have the trouble we now do in Palestine.
The UN is a toothless beast but to make it have teeth it needs to be able to send UN inspectors to Israeli Nuclear Facilities, see their massacres first hand and somehow punish it for their deeds. They also need to do the same to the US, not that I can see any nation wanting to go on the USA’s hit list.
I feel sorry for Americans at the moment. Their pulling out, or not joining international bodies that are supposed to work together to keep the world safe, instead of worrying about weapon sales and being beholden to Israeli demands and interests, just makes the rest of the world a more dangerous place.
When we need a global police man maybe next time we skip asking the US and instead forget about selling planes, guns and bombs to countries who still cut peoples heads off in the public square for sorcery.
Human rights means rights for ALL humans, the US and the Axis of War seem to forget this when money is involved. Always remember when the US starts another war what Smedley Butler said: “War is a racket”. Read his book!
