Today is the anniversary of the signing of the UN Declaration on Human Rights.
Article 23 is one of my favorites because it illustrates that the United States Government, since it is a union busting organization, has no right to lecture others on human rights. Not to mention the violation of all the others against folk at home and abroad as well as complicity in so many violations as well.
Article 23.
- (1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
- (2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
- (3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
- (4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
Another thing that tickles me is the Obama acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize, stating that, and hopefully I didn't write the quote down incorrectly: "The instruments of war do have a role to play in the role of peace." I guess that means folk can run rampant in the streets screaming "PEACE" while shooting one and all with a shotgun or some such weapon. The book "1984" was becoming highly recommended by many folk on the BOO concerning this speech.
Of course, Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973. Here is some of what was read in Henry's absence in acceptance for the prize (read by Thomas R. Byrne, ambassador to Norway from the U.S. at the time):
The Nobel Peace Prize is as much an award to a purpose as to a person. More than the achievement of peace, it symbolises the quest for peace. Though I deeply cherish this honour in a personal sense, I accept it on behalf of that quest and in the light of that grand purpose.
Carpet bombing Vietnam and Cambodia, "grand purpose." Increased slaughter of Afghanis for the drug trade and Wall St., "grand purpose."
Kissinger is also wanted for war crimes.
Tom Watson, former CEO of IBM, whose technology helped the Nazi's in their genocide of the Jews, Sinti, Roma, mentally handicapped, etc. (and he knew it), was the head of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace and his quotes are still recited today.
Well, US, violator of human rights. Nobel Peace Prize and Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, BULLSHIT! Time for the people to take over the world and stop these genocidal bastards giving each other pats on the back for their criminal behaviors.
