Former anti-gun Mayor appointed as alternate representative in the UN

[tboyer]

' The appointment of anti-gun rights former Seattle Mayor
Greg Nickels as an alternate representative to the United
Nations has removed any doubt about the Obama
administration's intentions regarding global gun control
initiatives, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep
and Bear Arms said today.

' Nickels, a founding member of Mayors Against Illegal
Guns and the author of Seattle's failed attempt to
override Washington's state firearms preemption statute,
was sworn in Wednesday to "help represent the United
States in the UN assembly," according to the Seattle
Times.'

' "Putting an extremist gun banner in any position
to represent this country at the United Nations
amounts to renting a billboard for advertising
against the Second Amendment," said CCRKBA Chairman
Alan Gottlieb. "While he was Seattle's mayor, Greg
Nickels supported every anti-gun scheme put forth by
Washington CeaseFire, the Northwest's most active gun
prohibition lobby.

' "Nickels is a gun ban proponent," he continued, "so
his appointment as an alternate to the UN is a clear
signal of Barack Obama's intention to rubber stamp
the UN's global gun ban agenda. We had to sue Nickels
while he was still Seattle's mayor to overturn his
illegal city parks gun ban. Now he gets to push his
anti-gun philosophy on a world scale. It hardly seems
a coincidence that Nickels has been appointed by the
Obama administration at a time when the UN is
considering treaties and initiatives that pose a
serious threat to the Second Amendment." '

' Nickels was turned out of office in 2009, which was
something of a feat in a liberal enclave like Seattle,
Gottlieb recalled. His defeat in the primary
demonstrated the degree of alienation voters felt from
a politician who once epitomized the Seattle liberal
establishment.

' "By naming Greg Nickels as an alternate representative
at the UN," Gottlieb stated, "President Obama has
essentially told America's 85 million gun owners that
their firearm civil rights are in jeopardy. Nickels
cannot be counted on to defend the Second Amendment
because he would like to see it erased from the
Constitution." '

Nickles is listed as an "alternate" representative. The
list of actual representatives include Senator Jeanne
Shaheen of New Hampshire, who is NRA "F" rated, and:

'...Obama named Carol Fulp, senior vice president of
Brand Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility
for John Hancock Financial, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.,
and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., as representatives (not
alternate) to the session.'

Wicker is currently NRA "A" rated.

Carol Fulp was an Obama fundraiser in 2008, and also
contributed to the Hillary Cliton for President and
the Jeanne Shaheen Senate campaigns.

So, other than Roger Wicker, it looks like the other
representatives appear to be antis.

I don't doubt for a minute that Obama would destroy the 2A if he could. However, these apointments are probably more political cronyism than anti-gun effort. Obama is a D so he will appoint more D's to positions of authority.

The UN and our government's relationship to it are clearly things we need to watch. The entire political process is not aimed at anti-2A results, though. Any politician elected to high federal office has a LOT of debts to pay.

That being said, it would be nice to elect more pro-2A members to the senate to prevent any attempt by the antis to ratify an anti-2A treaty.

OMFG the UN is coming to take our guns!!!

Lock up the children, run and hide, it's game over man, game over!!!!

This is all the UN needed to make their long planned move on American personal firearms. There's going to be blood running deep in the streets for sure now. Keep your eyes peeled for the blue-helmeted, jack booted thugs coming to a neighborhood near you.

The UN is a joke to begin with. It's a paper tiger. When has the UN done anything useful? When SHTF, it's usually the UN asking the United States to help in terms of financial & military support....What have they done for us lately that actually did some good? hmmmm.....yeah....Just my .02 cents.

[Nodda Duma]

It's not a paper tiger when our administration thinks we have to abide by its rules...

How many times?????? Before you post the UN babble at least do a seach to see what you are posting which is basically NOTHING.

It doesn't matter if President Obama appoints anti-2A representatives to all foreign posts along with the UN. Foreign treaties cannot bypass the US Constitution.

The SCOTUS decided in Reid v. Covert (October 1956) that the Constitution supersedes all foreign treaties.

[POLICESTATE]

**** the UN, their shenanigans don't supersede the COTUS. Although they do cost of a lot of money.

Teenage rape victims fleeing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo are being sexually exploited by the United Nations peace-keeping troops sent to the stop their suffering.

Teenage rape victims fleeing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo are being sexually exploited by the United Nations peace-keeping troops sent to the stop their suffering.

The Independent has found that mothers as young as 13 - the victims of multiple rape by militiamen - can only secure enough food to survive in the sprawling refugee camp by routinely sleeping with UN peace-keepers.

Testimony from girls and aid workers in the Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp in Bunia, in the north-east corner of Congo, claims that every night teenage girls crawl through a wire fence to an adjoining UN compound to sell their bodies to Moroccan and Uruguayan soldiers.

The trade, which according to one victim results in a banana or a cake to feed to her infant son, is taking place despite a pledge by the UN to adopt a "zero tolerance" attitude to cases of sexual misconduct by those representing the organisation.

One girl, Faela, 13, whose son, Joseph, is not yet six months old, has described how the social stigma of her fatherless child, the result of repeated rape by militiamen in her village, mean she is treated like a pariah in the chaotic and violent Bunia camp, which is home to 15,000 people.

She said: "It is hard in the camp for the girls like me with little babies and no husbands. We have no men to look after us. We have been dirtied by the soldiers who came to our villages. No one will take us as their wives and it is hard to get food in the camp for us."

She added: "It is easy for us to get to the UN soldiers. We climb through the fence when it is dark, sometimes once a night, sometimes more."

During a five-day period, The Independent spoke to more than 30 girls, half of whom said they made the 20-metre journey from the camp to gaps in the wire fences of the compound run by Monuc, the UN mission in Congo.

One worker, employed by Atlas, the aid group that manages the camp, confirmed that staff were aware of the trade in sex but were too frightened to tackle it.

He said: "There is nothing to stop them and the girls need food. It is best to keep quiet, though. I am frightened that if I say something I may lose my job and I have children of my own to feed."

The UN has announced its own inquiry into the allegations, warning that it will apply "all available sanctions" against those responsible. But doubts remain about the effectiveness of the investigation and the ability of the UN to bring those responsible to justice.

Dominique McAdams, the head of the UN in Bunia, said she believed that there was sexual violence in the camp, but said she had yet to see any evidence.

The UN is a joke to begin with. It's a paper tiger.

Do a search of your city or county website. Look for the words "sustainable". When you find that, you'll likely find a reference to some UN related "green" organization or the UN itself. The UN is far from a paper tiger, They are getting things done and you won't like the end result.
