U.N. declares Castro a “World Hero of Solidarity”

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 5, 2009 01:33 PM

Yes, it’s true.

The United Nations has declared misery-inducing, freedom-strangling Cuban dictator Fidel Castro a “World Hero of Solidarity.”

Via David Kopel at Volokh Conspiracy, h/t Hans Bader at OpenMarket.org, who writes:

The award was presented to Castro by the President of the UN General Assembly, Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann. Brockmann also successfully lobbied the Obama Administration to demand that Honduras allow the return to power of its ex-president and would-be dictator, Manuel Zelaya. (Two months ago, soldiers acting on orders of Honduras’s Supreme Court arrested Zelaya after he systematically abused his powers. After the Court quite legally declared that Zelaya was no longer president, he was duly replaced by Honduras’s Congress with a civilian, the Congressional Speaker). The Obama Administration recently decided to impose sanctions on Honduras, and indicated it will not recognize future democratic elections in Honduras unless Honduras first lets ex-president Zelaya return to power.

Marxism seems to be back in fashion in Washington these days.

Rep. Diane Watson, the New York Times book review section, and Van Jones and Valerie Jarrett approve!

    This administration is an embarrassment to freedom and liberty.

    Isn’t it time to tell the UN to find another home? To think about the money the taxpayers of the US have paid to the UN, only to have it go to Sexual Molestations of the downtrodden around the globe.

    Enough! I’ve been to Cuba and spent 5 weeks there in 1991. Those people want freedom but they can’t express themselves. if they do, they are sent to prison. I guess Obama is about to ignore our constitution and try the same thing here. Actions speak louder than words and Obama’s action against the Honduran Constitution and Supreme Court scares the hell out of me. Seems to me with the radicals he has surrounded himself with he’s trying to do the sae thing here. Banks, autos, health and home and the media is next!

    Social Justice” is code for Socialism.

    Call it “Social[ist] Justice“.

    Conservatives see “fairness” as equality of opportunity.

    Socialists/Communists see “fairness” as equality of results.

    Conservatives seek a level playing field and then say if you work harder and serve more people, you deserve to have better results.

    Socialists/Communists see conservatives who have more material results than other people in the world, self-righteously declare that this is “unfair”, and then believe it is their “moral imperative” to take (steal) from those conservatives and give to “less fortunate”.

    They like to play Robin Hood… Robbin’ Hood’… Robbing Hoodlum.

    There is sin and evil in the world, and we’re enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might.

    Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness. Pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.

    During my first press conference as President, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution. I think I should point out I was only quoting Lenin, their guiding spirit, who said in 1920 that they repudiate all morality that proceeds from supernatural ideas — that’s their name for religion — or ideas that are outside class conceptions. Morality is entirely subordinate to the interests of class war. And everything is moral that is necessary for the annihilation of the old, exploiting social order and for uniting the proletariat.

    Well, I think the refusal of many influential people to accept this elementary fact of Soviet doctrine illustrates a historical reluctance to see totalitarian powers for what they are. We saw this phenomenon in the 1930s. We see it too often today.

    I urge you to beware the temptation of pride –the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.

    I’ve always maintained that the struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith.

    Whittaker Chambers, the man whose own religious conversion made him a witness to one of the terrible traumas of our time, the Hiss-Chambers case, wrote that the crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which the West is indifferent to God, the degree to which it collaborates in communism’s attempt to make man stand alone without God. And then he said, for Marxism-Leninism is actually the second-oldest faith, first proclaimed in the Garden of Eden with the words of temptation, “Ye shall be as gods.”

    The Western world can answer this challenge, he wrote, “but only provided that its faith in God and the freedom He enjoins is as great as communism’s faith in Man.”

    I believe we shall rise to the challenge. I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last — last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow man. For in the words of Isaiah: “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increased strength… But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary…

    Yes, change your world. One of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, said, “We have it within our power to begin the world over again.” We can do it, doing together what no one church could do by itself.

    God bless you and thank you very much.

    I was a moderate on the UN for a long time. No real opinion one way or the other. Then I started doing medical relief work in East Africa. Spent time at thier facility and airport in Northern Kenya. Watched the results of and the work of their efforts in Southern Sudan. If a person thinks the UN is worth anything then that person has not been “out there” to see the UN in action.

    The UN is more than ineffective, they are part of the problem in the world. The UN is not part of the solution. Getting rid of them would actually help matters. It is totally corrupt and devoid of any integrity. I watched first hand from seeing air planes loaded with supplies and how that went to watching the UN World Feeding Program supply the Islamic militia in Southern Sudan by dropping food to “approved” locations instead of to people who were starving to death.

    I was with the people starving to death and watched the UN fly over time and time again and drop food into the hands of the People’s Defense Force. You know, those folks that are currently killing internally displaced people in Dafur.

    I would guess that around these parts the question should be: Is it unanimous, or is there anyone here who is willing to try to make an opposing argument?

    I would really like to see someone try, at least if they can field an argument that isn’t idiotic on its face. Seriously. Or do all of the bashers of us ‘right wing extremists’ agree with us on this one?

The U.S. is a last hold-out and is under attack, itself. To get out of the U.N., would be a mistake. We, at least, have a veto vote in the security council. That gives us some voice in the world.

    Since the fall of the Soviet Union our veto has been the only decent argument for keeping us in the UN.

    That argument misunderstands the purpose of us leaving the UN. It is not to leave us isolated in the world, with the rest of the nations of the world united against us. It is to destroy the function of the UN, which is the advancement of a globalist dogma.

    Staying in the UN is a form of appeasement. We PAY. That payment is jizya. It gives a stamp of ‘global approval’ to the anti-capitalist, freedom hating agenda of the Collectivist/Islamic Alliance that actually controls the UN’s policies.

    Without America, the UN is clearly not a ‘global’ organization. It is an organization dominated by dictators and leftist nutjobs and assorted other thugs and thugocracies.

    We need entirely different organizations to advance freedom.

    We should not belong to and support organizations that advance ideas directly contrary to America’s interests and ideals. It is really that simple.

    Agree 100%. This is why the US must be neutered economically, politically and militarily by Obama’s Socialism. Once we lose our superpower status the last barrier to global totalitarianism will be gone, and the “Collectivist/Islamic Alliance” (absolutely accurate term, BTW) will be free to advance their agenda unopposed.

    Senator Joseph McCarthy was not wrong.

    Indeed.

    Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended.

    The “57 states” of the OIC. Russia is an observer nation.

    Other recent evidence of the Collectivist/Islamic Alliance is

    the album entitled WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition. And lo and behold, not only did Van Jones run the organization which sponsored the creation of this album, but he is also featured on the album itself.

    That recording is like a veritable “Rosetta Stone” of the radical revolutionary left. It provides evidence that the forces of the Communist Party have joined with the forces of the Nation of Islam and the “57 states” of the OIC.

    It also shows how our dependence on foreign oil, (a condition created by the Democratic Socialists in our own government preventing us from accessing oil reserves in our own country that have been proven to be at least three times the size of the oil reserves of the world’s #1 oil exporter: Saudi Arabia), is used by the radical revolutionary left as a weapon against our own country.

    It’s a fairly shocking audio to listen to, but it is the raw, naked truth of what these domestic enemies think and promote to young people. I find it to be nothing short of TREASON, and think it should be dealt with as such.

    And stop the government obstruction which is preventing access to our own oil in ANWR, oil shale, and offshore. Get the U.S. 100% energy independent ASAP. This is a national security issue.

    In the midst of public outcry over the decision by Scottish authorities to free Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, convicted in 1991 for his involvement in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, the anniversary of an older case of state-sponsored terrorism, the shooting down by KAL 007 by Soviet jet fighters in 1983, is almost forgotten by the media and public.

    Among the passengers of KAL 007 was Rep. Larry McDonald (D-GA), who was both a member of the House of Representatives and chairman of the John Birch Society

    It is interesting how both the original John Birch and Larry McDonald, chairman of the John Birch Society, were murdered by communists.

    -> I am committed to being a staunch ally in the cause of a free and democratic Cuba, where Fidel Castro’s communist totalitarian dictatorship has oppressed the Cuban people for nearly five decades.

    ->The United States must continue to lead the world in condemning the human rights abuses inflicted on the Cuban people and isolating Castro’s tyrannical regime both economically and diplomatically.

    ->As President, I will oppose any efforts to lift trade and travel restrictions on the Cuban dictatorship and will veto any legislation seeking to lift these restrictions until three conditions are met: scheduling of free, fair and internationally-supervised multi-party elections, freeing of all political prisoners, and legalization of all political activity and civil liberties.

    For 48 years, Cuba’s communist dictatorship has been a destabilizing force in our hemisphere. Fidel Castro has supported and promoted violent revolution as well as terrorist activity. Cuba remains on the U.S. Department of State’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism. Castro’s brand of tyranny is now evident in the dictatorial actions of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. In sum, the demise of the Castro regime would be a welcomed development for our hemisphere and for the Cuban people.

    United States policy toward Cuba is clear. The 1996 Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act (Libertad Act) provides a road map for America’s goal of expediting a transition to democracy in Cuba and assisting the Cuban people in a post-Castro democratic transition. As President, I will enforce and implement all provisions of U.S. law governing policy toward Cuba including the Libertad Act. I will continue President Bush’s policy of pursuing indictments against any Cuban officials, including Raul Castro, responsible for crimes against U.S. citizens. I will further support efforts to bring to justice any American fugitive criminals receiving safe haven in Cuba. The Castro dictatorship is an outlaw regime. As President, my administration will treat it as such.

    From reading the comments of this thread it would seem that the UN was absolutely correct in their selection.

    Like ‘bama creates solidarity with his words. You’re either solidly in with the pro-bama’s because your skin is black or you’re a communist, or you’re solidly in with the anti-bama’s because you are able to think for yourself, want to live in reality, make your own way through life and don’t want to succor at our government’s teats.

    Both men are hewn from the same gnarled scrap of wood.

    Why were the World Trade Centers targeted? Could it be because they were the biggest symbols of capitalism in this country?

    Someone needs to look very carefully into whether people like Van Jones and Bill Ayers played a role in the 9/11 attacks.
