State-Terrorism Supporter Lectures About Human Rights

by Stephen Lendman

America indisputably is the world's leading human rights abuser - a rogue state masquerading as democratic.

Its endless wars of aggression speak for themselves. So do its homeland police state laws, targeting designated enemies of choice.

Its neocon UN envoy Nikki Haley represents its imperial agenda, raping and destroying one country after another.

Last March, in remarks before the Council on Foreign Relations, she outrageously called America "the moral conscience of the world," claiming "human rights are at the heart of" its UN mission.

Since assuming her post in late January, she's lied, deceived, and covered for the rogue regime she represents, defending the indefensible, justifying the unjustifiable, along with reinventing America's sordid history.

On June 2, the neocon/CIA-connected Washington Post gave her feature op-ed space. Ignoring longstanding US high crimes against peace, she used it to attack the UN Human Rights Council's record, claiming it "whitewashes brutality" - none more ruthless than America's.

Haley: The Venezuelan "government shoots protesters in the street…"

Fact: Washington wants fascism replacing Bolivarian fairness. It's waging political and economic war on Venezuela. 

Fact: Along with extremist opponents of its government, it's involved in orchestrating street violence, responsible for over 60 deaths since April, Venezuelan police acting responsibly in confronting it.

Haley: Cuba's "government imprisons thousands of political opponents…"

Fact: America's gulag prison system shames the nation, many in it imprisoned for political reasons, others on trumped up charges.

Fact: Cuban governance shames America's - fantasy democracy, not the real thing.

Haley blasted the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) for failing to criticize Venezuela, Cuba and other sovereign independent countries opposed to US imperial ruthlessness, its contempt for human rights.

Haley: "In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea. This illegal occupation resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and injuries, as well as arbitrary detentions. No special meeting of the Human Rights Council was called, and the abuses continue to mount."

Fact: Russia never invaded another country, not Ukraine or any others. In 2008, its military entered South Ossetia to protect its citizens, being slaughtered by the fascist Georgian regime at the behest of Bush/Cheney. It didn't occupy or "t(ake) over" Ukrainian territory. Haley lied!

Haley: "In April, I dedicated the US presidency of the UN Security Council to making the connection between human rights and peace and security."

Fact: Her mandate for the regime she represents is lying and suppressing its appalling global human rights abuses.

Haley: The Human Rights Council "must…end its practice of wrongly (sic) singling out Israel, a country with a strong human rights record…"

Fact: America and Israel are the world's leading human rights abusers. Haley wants their high crimes suppressed. She wants human rights abusing countries denied HRC membership.

She's right. America, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, and other rogue states on the council should have their memberships terminated straightaway. She should be fired as US UN envoy.
