United Nations Launches Investigation of Human Rights Abuses in the United States

For those of you who have never even heard of a “Special Rapporteur,” you may be surprised to find out that one has been appointed by the United Nations (UN), under a special mandate from the UN Human Rights Council (the successor to the corrupt and anti-Israel UN Commission on Human Rights), to open a probe—for the first time ever— into human rights violations by the United States because of a perception that there isn’t enough affordable public housing in urban areas.

The U.N. needs to launch a human rights investigation in Canada as well....concerning the Quebec government’s hatred and banning of English language signs in the province.

Have they never heard of the FHA and those 3.5% down loans?

That’s it, I’ve had “it”!! It has taken a lot of thought to come to this conclusion: GET T OF THE UN, YESTERDAY and remove the UN from American soil!

Activists have recently beene executed in China and Iran, freedom of the press is a joke in Russia, North Korea throws entire families into prison for the thoughtcrime of one person.

But its the US that violates human rights...

Closing statement
The report will be bad. That is a foregone conclusion. How will the UN punish the United States? That remains to be seen. Who gave the UN the right to send a Special Rapporteur on this tour of American cities in the first place, since UN Special Rapporteurs can only visit countries that have agreed to invite them?

The invitation came from the top.

Who the hell invited them?

Someday, I hope there will be an open season on any UNSOB on our soil, and all of their American collaborators.

I don’t think I’d be too far our of line to suggest that 0bama, or his lackys, had something to do with this. Maybe even his “porch” cracker, Jimmah Cahtah.

My guess: -10bama did.

We need to watch the government closely the next few months, or we are going to have UN Blue Helmets in the streets of American cities.

Well, at least blue is easy to see through a riflescope.

We SHOULD ask the UN to leave, and leave post haste.

In these times, with our Country on the ropes financially, Politically and, Socially, we hardly need the financial loss, the Political injection, and the Social disturbances of them in our Country, let alone NYC, our financial hub.

The UN adds about $2.53 Billion a year to our economy. But it costs us about $3.5 Billion in hard costs and/or lost opportunities.

I put forth that, even as a parking structure, at an average rate of $430.00 per month per car, it would generate more of our much needed revenue in actual lease/rent payments, and less up front and long term expense.

As a multi use facility, residential, commercial, parking, Donald Trump estimates that it would generate in excess of $4 Billion a year.

So, what is the advantage of allowing them to stay here?

The problem is the United States is the only country that might listen to what these dipsticks have to say.

You dont really expect them to investigate China, N Korea Iran, or anyone else do you? Those people would tell the Un to go crap in their hat. But our boy obama will kiss their butts.

So who declared affordable housing in any particular location to be a human right? New York and other urban areas are particularly expensive. What is stopping these people from living in South Dakota, or Minnesota, or Michigan? What right does the UN (or any governing agency) have to demand concessions from taxpayers to subsidize the luxury of the layabout class -- I can understanding providing basic necessities, but who says that those necessities have to provided specifically in an urban area?

What's next -- a human right to cheap/subsidized waterfront property in Boca Raton?

The libs will cry that the welfare lot have to stay in the urban areas to be close to their jobs. But there are many that do not have jobs, and live completely on the dole.

Living in an expensive area like New York is an unnecessary luxury -- a trailer park in Maurine, SD provides affordable housing, and lots of space to expand. Those expecting permanent handouts would probably live a longer and healthier life out in the country as well.

Sounds like New York could rent discounted space in South Dakota to make available as the only subisidized option for their welfare population. The savings would be considerable, and the UN would have more time to get back to their review of the financial dealings of Kofi Anan.

Maybe they can find out why we have the most obese "poor" people in the world. Our abuse must be that we force-feed our underprivileged.

“Kick these goons out of our country’’. Do more than that. Send the whole UN and everyone in it sailing down the East River and out to sea!
