Save the Children, a civilian aid group, released a report today which confirmed that United Nations peacekeepers and civilian aid workers have continued to sexually abuse children in Ivory Coast, South Sudan, and Haiti. The UN peacekeepers, and in this instance, British charity aid workers, have been forcing children to have sex with them in return for food, water, and medicine. Brutal gang-rapes are also common.
Ironically, both Save the Children and Oxfam have discovered child rapists on their own staff but they have dismissed them. The UN has done no such thing. Although UN peacekeepers have, in the past, been accused of similar sexual assaults upon children (in Cambodia and elsewhere), their 2006, promise to both “tackle” and monitor such heartless abuse has apparently not been kept.
A spokesman for the UN Peacekeepers is quoted as saying: “The abuse of children by those who are sent to help is a significant and painful issue and one that we have begun to address. We are doing everything we can to train our civilian staff.”
Full disclosure: I worked at the UN for almost a year, from 1979-1980. Even then, the UN culture reeked of hatred: of America, the West, Israel and of the women. The sexual harassment and abuse of female staff by male staff was rampant, a given, unquestioned. Children in war zones? Easy prey for the likes of them.
While I do not know what countries of origin the peacekeepers are from, (such information is not easily available), or what their moral standards may be, I just bet that the rapists are all men. If I’m right–why not send women-only to feed the children?
My God, am I wrecking the entire feminist enterprise by suggesting that women might be less inclined to rape children? Am I engaging in man-hating? Heaven forbid. Of course, not all men are rapists; but most rapists are men. (Not all Muslims are terrorists but so many terrorists are Muslims…)
So: Why is the United States still paying dues to an institution, (the United Nations), whose leaders and employees have been exposed as morally bankrupt, shamelessly greedy, utterly ineffective, and at best, mediocre in doing good, brilliant in doing harm? And whose staff members actively engage in raping children in war zones? And why does New York City continue to host, even fete, the UN staff with their multiple wives and domestic slaves?
It is a blot on our own reputation.

1. Lusitanus:It has been suggested, and I fully agree with it, that the UN headquarters should be moved to Haiti. That is where UN can do most good, or least harm.

The idea that men cannot or should not be held to the standards of civilized human beings is, pardon the phrase, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Of course, doing this effectively in the wild parts of the world would require the kind of discipline, authority, and responsibility found in a small number of organizations: the military forces of functioning democracies. Oxfam and STC may not want to find themselves in that business.
May 27, 2008 - 3:54 pm 3. Tom:Your story about the UN aid workers acting in such a demonic manner illustrates the horrors the world will be subjected to once American/European civilization is at last destroyed: a thousand years of darkness.
May 28, 2008 - 2:40 pm 4. Tom:“enlightened” liberals who have been indoctrinated to hate their own country and culture have no idea just how bad the rest of the world can be. It took our civilization hundreds of years to climb out of our own dark hole. Now that we have, everyone hates us and is plotting our destruction, including our own leftists who control almost all of the educational and media establishments.
The left has brainwashed two generations to feel so ashamed of their own heritage they don’t even notice when we are invaded and feel no need to defend that which they have been taught to see as depraved.
When the West falls, the leftists will gloat at first, until they realize too late that the third world cultures they worshipped as “downtrodden victims of imperialism” are actually far worse than the civilization they helped to destroy.
Yes, imagine what it will be like when the left succeeds in creating a global government with totalitarian powers. All for the good of the world, of course.
May 28, 2008 - 2:57 pmThey’ll be blue helmeted soldiers in the streets of America’s own cities, ruling over the disarmed population. The Bill of Rights will have long since been forgotten. Such behavior as Phyllis describes will then be normal. Our great grandchildren, if we have any, will have no standard of comparison to understand just how far their nation has fallen…or with which to hate the cowards, weaklings and fools who threw away their freedom.
