Ollie North OpEd: UN-Believable

UN-Believable
Oliver North | May 29, 2008

When the so-called mainstream media doesn't want you to know something they simply spike the story – meaning they just don't cover it. That's what's happened to the good news from Iraq. American Heroes in flak jackets and helmets and their Iraqi counterparts are asserting rule of law for millions of grateful Iraqi civilians once tyrannized by Al Qaeda terrorists and Shiite militias. In short, we are winning. That's the good news that isn't news.

Then there is the bad news that isn't news. This includes stories about the United Nations interfering in U.S. domestic politics; Iranian nuclear ambitions and what the UN isn't doing about it. These accounts aren't as titillating as Scott "Brutus" McClellan's back-stabbing book on the Bush administration that throws salt in the wounds of every family member of a fallen soldier, sailor, airman or Marine. Nor do these reports get the twisted attention paid to crude oil at $130 per barrel and $4.25 per gallon gasoline, because of "Big Oil." So in case you missed these "non-stories," here's the short form of what didn't make the cut for the major newspapers or your big network evening news – and it's UN-believable.

First there's the strange case of Doudou Diène, the United Nations "Special Rapporteur" on "contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance," He's really a lawyer from Senegal, traveling First Class on a UN ticket – and he arrived in the U.S. on May 19, for a three-week-long "fact finding trip."

According to the UN Human Rights Council, Mr. Diène is here to investigate and recommend solutions to alleged American human rights violations. His itinerary includes visits to New York City, Chicago, Omaha, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico and meetings with federal and state lawmakers, legal analysts, politicians, non-governmental organizations, activists, and academics "to gather first-hand information on issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance." No kidding. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Mr. Diène will submit his "report and recommendations" at the Second "UN World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance," in April 2009. Dubbed "Durban II" – it's a sequel to the 2001 gathering by the same name. This week the UN decided to hold next year's America/Israel bashing gabfest in Geneva instead of Durban because South Africa is being rocked by – get this – xenophobia and racial violence. If this were fiction, no one would believe it. It gets better.
