Transcript [00:00] Hey everybody. [00:01] So, I want to talk to you about a [00:04] a brand new report, a bombshell report [00:06] that came out that was published by UN [00:10] Watch. UN Watch, they monitor the United [00:12] Nations Human Rights Council, the [00:14] nominal organization, and they came out [00:16] with a bombshell report about an [00:19] institution that you probably have never [00:21] even heard of by name, but it has [00:23] massive impact. It has impact on [00:26] government policies around the world [00:28] about how media reports on major issues. [00:32] The [00:33] this UN body or UN system is called the [00:37] United Nations Human Rights Council [00:40] Special Procedures System. [00:44] Okay, that's what it's called. And if [00:45] you've never heard of that name, you've [00:47] probably heard of what they do. Here's [00:49] what it is. The United Nations maintains [00:52] a roster of 59 independent experts. [00:56] Okay, these experts are lawyers, [00:59] academics, some of them are former [01:01] diplomats. They're all sorts of [01:04] important people who are appointed to [01:07] each one of them is appointed to a [01:08] specific human rights mandate. [01:12] Okay, so one expert will be responsible [01:15] for reporting on food, on like the right [01:18] to food. And another one will be [01:21] responsible for reporting on freedom of [01:23] speech or freedom of expression. [01:25] Another one on violence against women. [01:29] Another one on housing conditions. [01:31] Another one on counterterrorism and so [01:33] on and so on. Okay, there's 59 of these [01:36] special reporters or special rapporteurs [01:40] in the system. Again, the special [01:42] procedures system of the United Nations [01:44] Human Rights Council. Okay, so these [01:46] experts are granted a global platform. [01:49] They have fancy titles. They issue UN [01:52] press releases. They they have press [01:54] conferences where they [01:56] where they release their official [01:57] studies, their official reports to the [02:00] UN General Assembly, and what they say [02:03] carries a lot of weight, it carries a [02:04] lot of authority, it carries the UN [02:07] brand. For those of you following the [02:09] Gaza war closely, and if you especially [02:12] if you followed this um what I was [02:15] writing and what I was putting out the [02:16] videos I was putting out on Israel 365 [02:18] news about the whole uh Gaza starvation [02:21] hoax, so you'll remember that there was [02:23] this UN special reports about how much [02:27] food was going into Gaza that were full [02:28] of lies that we were reporting on. [02:30] That's an example. So, they put out [02:32] these important reports, important [02:34] reports. [02:35] Now, how much weight do they carry? [02:36] Well, a lot. Their reports get cited by [02:39] the International Court of Justice, by [02:41] the International Criminal Court, by the [02:42] European Court of Human Rights, [02:44] but those bodies [02:46] not everyone respects them, but they're [02:48] also [02:49] you know, cited in academia, they're [02:51] considered credible sources, they're [02:54] considered authoritative. If you're [02:56] citing a UN report, [02:59] you know, it has credibility. Right? [03:01] Governments use these reports. [03:04] And whenever one of these experts issues [03:05] a report, the media doesn't say this one [03:08] independent [03:10] UN-affiliated expert thinks [03:13] XYZ, they say the UN says, right? Cuz [03:16] it's the UN brand. So, they have a lot [03:18] of power. [03:20] In 2006, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan [03:24] called the special procedures the crown [03:26] jewel of the UN human human rights [03:28] system. [03:30] So, now let's get to this report. It's [03:31] just They just released it. UN Watch is [03:34] based in Geneva, phenomenal [03:35] organization, they monitor the United [03:37] Nations. The executive director of UN [03:40] Watch, Hillel Neuer, is one of the most [03:42] effective voices holding the UN [03:44] accountable. If you haven't come across [03:45] him, look him up. [03:46] The report is called from watchdogs to [03:50] ideologues, [03:52] from watchdogs to ideologues. And you [03:54] can find the report on their website at [03:58] unwatch.org. You can find it there. [04:01] And you just it's right there on the [04:03] front page. You can just scroll down and [04:05] download it right there. You can [04:06] download the full report. I highly [04:08] recommend you do so. [04:11] And what it documents is how corrupt [04:15] this whole system is. So, I'm going to [04:16] walk you through [04:18] uh some of this. It's a It's an over [04:20] 100-page report. We're not going to walk [04:21] through the whole thing. But I want to [04:23] start before we get into the actual [04:24] corruption, I want to start by making [04:26] you understand what this system was [04:29] supposed to be. [04:31] Okay? The basic idea behind the special [04:34] procedures [04:35] actually makes a lot of sense. You [04:37] appoint independent experts, people who [04:38] have no government affiliation, no [04:40] political agenda. [04:42] Uh and they investigate human rights [04:44] conditions around the world and they [04:46] report back to the UN. [04:48] Uh and they're supposed to be objective [04:50] and based on verified evidence, based on [04:52] credible sources, cross-checking things [04:54] before publication. [04:56] That's their code of conduct. That's the [04:58] rulebook they're supposed to follow. And [05:00] in theory, [05:02] what what this creates is a neutral [05:05] expert voice that governments and courts [05:08] and civil society and journalists can [05:11] rely on. Okay? It's not the voice of a [05:13] particular country. It's not propaganda. [05:15] It's supposed to be authoritative, just [05:17] the facts, [05:18] determined by serious, neutral people. [05:22] Okay. [05:24] But what happens when the people filling [05:26] those expert roles are not neutral [05:29] and they're ideologically driven? [05:33] Right? What happens when they take the [05:34] UN institutional authority and they just [05:37] use it to advance their own political [05:39] agenda? [05:40] Well, what you get is what this report [05:42] calls evidentiary laundering. [05:46] Right? What what what's evidentiary [05:48] laundering? [05:49] That's unverified claims that are [05:52] filtered through UN letterhead, stamped [05:54] with UN authority, and presented to the [05:56] world as the impartial findings of [05:59] independent experts. That's what the [06:00] report documents. And I want to show you [06:02] exactly who these people are. [06:05] Okay, I don't want to talk in [06:06] generalities. I want to give you [06:07] specific names and stories, examples. [06:10] And these are only examples. Again, the [06:12] report is over 100 pages long, but [06:14] here's a few examples. Let's start with [06:16] Irene Khan. [06:18] So, Irene Khan is the special rapporteur [06:22] on freedom of expression and opinion. [06:26] Very nice. [06:27] So, before her UN appointment, Irene [06:29] Khan was the Secretary-General of [06:31] Amnesty International, where she made [06:33] herself famous by calling Guantanamo Bay [06:36] the gulag of our time. [06:38] But she left Amnesty under mysterious [06:40] circumstances in 2009, [06:42] after which it came out that she had [06:44] received a secret payout of 533,000 [06:49] British pounds. That's [06:51] that's like over it's like around [06:52] 720,000 US dollars. It's more than four [06:55] times her annual salary. It's 4% of [06:58] Amnesty's entire annual budget. [07:01] Now, Amnesty's own UK director publicly [07:03] apologized for this, but there's no [07:05] record that she ever returned the money. [07:07] Then she was appointed as the UN's [07:09] global guardian of free speech, her [07:12] current role, right? So, who appointed [07:14] her? [07:15] Ready for this? A five-member vetting [07:17] committee that was led by China. [07:21] China appointing the the special [07:24] rapporteur on free speech. Free speech, [07:27] China. [07:28] And here's something that Hillel Neuer [07:29] pointed out that really captures how [07:31] incestuous this whole world is. Follow [07:35] along. [07:37] Khan's deputy at Amnesty was a woman [07:39] named Kate Gilmore. [07:42] And after Irene Khan left, Kate Gilmore [07:46] became the Deputy UN High Commissioner [07:49] for Human Rights. [07:51] And during that same period, [07:53] Agnes Callamard, who is Katie Gilmore's [07:57] wife, [07:59] was appointed the UN Special Rapporteur [08:01] on extrajudicial executions. [08:04] And today, Agnes Callamard, wife of [08:07] Katie Gilmore, is now the head of [08:09] Amnesty International, which is where [08:11] Katie Gilmore started working under [08:13] Irene Khan. You see how this works? It's [08:15] a It's the same small network of people [08:18] that rotates endlessly between Amnesty [08:21] International and the United Nations, [08:23] filling each other's positions, citing [08:26] each other's reports, [08:28] and they call it an independent human [08:30] rights system, but it's all just a [08:31] little club of people who are all [08:32] closely associated with each other. [08:35] Let's get back to China. What is China's [08:39] choice of a free speech czar? [08:42] What does she monitor in her UN role? [08:45] Well, in her 5 years, Irene Khan [08:49] uh issued two mild criticisms of China, [08:52] zero criticisms of Cuba, nothing about [08:56] uh Eritrea, where they where there's no [08:58] freedom of speech, nothing about North [09:00] Korea, where there's no freedom of [09:01] speech, nothing about Nicaragua, but she [09:04] has accused American universities of [09:06] colluding with the US government to you [09:08] know, to silence pro-Palestinian voices. [09:11] Oh, that's a crime. [09:13] Right? China's not silencing anyone. [09:15] North Korea's not silencing anyone, but [09:17] US universities are. She called it their [09:20] duty to protect pro-Hamas campus [09:22] protests, [09:24] ignoring the anti-Semitism and the [09:25] violence that accompanied them, right? [09:29] She retweeted Francesca Albanese's [09:31] declaration that Western priest that the [09:34] Western pretense of civility is over. Oh [09:37] my god. We're silencing speech on [09:38] American campuses. [09:40] This is the UN's guardian of free [09:42] speech. She's appointed by China. [09:45] She doesn't say a word about the [09:46] countries that imprison and execute [09:48] journalists. No, no. [09:51] She's focused on American universities. [09:54] And then we meet um [09:56] Tlaleng [09:58] Mofokeng. [10:00] Tlaleng Mofokeng, she is the special [10:02] rapporteur [10:04] on the right to health. The right to [10:08] health. [10:09] So, let's talk about the UN expert on [10:11] health. [10:12] Tlaleng Mofokeng, Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng [10:14] wrote an op-ed for Teen Vogue magazine [10:17] encouraging teenage girls to view [10:20] prostitution as a legitimate career [10:22] choice. [10:24] Quote, "In some ways, aren't we all sex [10:26] workers?" [10:28] She wrote that. [10:30] The executive director of the Coalition [10:33] Against Trafficking of Women [10:36] said it was astounding that the Human [10:38] Rights Council would appoint someone who [10:39] encourages [10:41] teen girls to consider prostitution as a [10:43] job. [10:44] Now, on social media, [10:46] Mofokeng has referred to individuals, [10:49] quote, "that owe [10:51] um [10:53] When someone disagreed with her on the [10:55] COVID vaccine, she told them to shove it [10:57] up your [10:59] blank. She told Prime Minister Benjamin [11:01] Netanyahu to f off. [11:05] And when Hillel Neuer called for her to [11:07] be disciplined for this behavior, she [11:09] attacked him as evil scum white man. [11:13] Now, her own professional regulatory [11:15] body, the South African Health [11:18] Professionals Council, found her guilty [11:20] of misconduct for, quote, "using abusive [11:23] and inappropriate language on social [11:25] media and for bringing the medical [11:27] profession into disrepute." [11:30] But the UN, [11:31] you know, left her in her position. Now, [11:33] here's the detail that I find almost [11:35] beyond belief. This woman was not just a [11:37] rapporteur. For a period of time, she [11:39] was the chair of what's called the [11:41] coordination committee, which is a [11:43] committee of rapporteurs, of these 59 [11:47] rapporteurs. It's a committee of them [11:49] that handles complaints and professional [11:51] conduct. [11:53] In other words, she was the chair of [11:54] that. [11:57] But this also tells you that there's a [11:58] committee where they police themselves, [12:00] meaning the people policing the [12:01] rapporteurs and looking after their [12:03] conduct is just other rapporteurs. [12:07] And the person they chose to run that [12:08] committee was someone who had just been [12:09] found guilty of professional misconduct [12:12] by her own country's medical [12:14] uh [12:15] authority. [12:18] Now, 10 days after October 7th, 2023, [12:23] this [12:23] Dr. Tlaleng [12:25] Mofokeng, her first public response was [12:27] to justify the massacre. [12:29] She wrote, quote, "You cannot extinguish [12:32] the human desire for freedom." Talking [12:34] about the Hamas guys. [12:36] Nothing about the victims, of course. [12:38] She has since declared Hamas fighters [12:40] are not terrorists and explicitly [12:42] endorsed their armed struggle. [12:44] And she praised uh [12:46] PFLP hijacker Leila Khaled with a rose [12:49] emoji and tweeted, quote, "From the [12:51] river to the sea." Alongside a map that [12:54] erased Israel. This is the UN's expert [12:57] on health. [13:00] And then there's Michael Fakhri. [13:03] Let's meet Dr. Michael Fakhri. [13:07] Who's he? [13:08] Well, the special rapporteur on the [13:10] right to food. Now, this food mandate [13:13] was created by Cuba in the year 2000. [13:15] That's right, Cuba in the United Nations [13:16] Human Rights Council. The first person [13:18] appointed to it was Jean Ziegler, a [13:20] Swiss Marxist politician and a close [13:23] ally of the Cuban regime. He was so [13:25] obsessively focused on attacking Israel [13:28] that journalists routinely thought that [13:30] he was the special rapporteur on [13:32] Palestine, even though he wasn't. He was [13:33] He had to do with food, but he talked [13:35] about Israel all the time. [13:37] Anyway, Michael Fakhri, who's a [13:38] Lebanese-Canadian law professor, [13:40] continues this tradition. Fakhri's only [13:43] official country visit These rapporteurs [13:45] are supposed to visit countries where [13:47] the issues that they're reporting on are [13:49] are are issues, right? The only country [13:52] he visited in 6 years was Venezuela. [13:56] At the personal invitation of Maduro. [13:59] And he went and he gave the regime a [14:01] clean bill of health. He blamed all of [14:03] Venezuela's suffering on Western [14:05] sanctions. [14:06] And then he called for those sanctions [14:07] to be lifted. [14:10] One day later, right after he left, [14:12] Venezuela's foreign minister shut down [14:14] the United Nations Human Rights office [14:16] in Caracas. Right, so they used his [14:18] propaganda visit as cover. He gave them [14:21] a clean bill of health, and then they [14:22] immediately expelled all the actual [14:24] human rights monitors who were there, [14:25] and Fakhri never said a word about it. [14:29] Um Can I Here's the detail that puts [14:31] everything into focus. One of the [14:32] Israeli hostages [14:34] murdered in Gaza, Itay Ben Yaacov [14:36] Rahamim [14:38] Um when he came out, his body was only [14:41] 80 lb. [14:45] Other hostages routinely lost 30% of [14:48] their body weight in captivity. They [14:50] were starved. [14:51] We all remember the pictures. [14:54] Hamas was deliberately starving Israeli [14:56] hostages. Michael Fakhri, the UN's [14:59] special rapporteur on the right to food, [15:01] never issued a single statement about [15:02] that. [15:04] Not one word about Hamas deliberately [15:06] starving the people in its custody. [15:09] Instead, he used his mandate to lead the [15:13] UN campaign [15:15] accusing Israel of deliberately starving [15:17] Palestinians. [15:20] A campaign that continued even after [15:23] the [15:24] the studies came out, the authoritative [15:27] IPC review studies came out on the [15:29] famine classification and showed that [15:32] there was enough food in Gaza that there [15:34] was no famine. But he he doubled down [15:36] even though the UN's own documents said [15:38] that there was no famine. [15:40] This is the food rapporteur. [15:41] Silent on Hamas starving hostages, but [15:45] loud on Israel starving the Gazans even [15:49] though they weren't. [15:51] And then we have Alena Douhan. Let's [15:53] check her out. Alena Douhan [15:56] is the [15:58] well, she's former special rapporteur on [16:00] the negative impact of the unilateral [16:03] coercive measures. Now, what is that? [16:06] Well, [16:07] this one's the clearest, most [16:08] straightforward example of corruption. [16:10] Her mandate, the unilateral on [16:13] unilateral coercive measures, which is [16:15] fancy language fancy UN language for [16:19] Western sanctions on dictatorships. Like [16:22] when the Western nations sanction [16:24] dictatorships, [16:26] they call that unilateral coercive [16:28] measures. [16:29] So, she this this this position, her [16:33] mandate, [16:35] was created by Iran [16:38] and the Non-Aligned Movement. [16:41] Specifically, the whole point of it is [16:43] to argue that all Western sanctions are [16:45] illegal. That's the whole point of it. [16:47] That anytime Western nations put [16:48] sanctions on bad actors, they're [16:50] illegal. That's the point of her [16:51] mandate. Oh, by the way, the Non-Aligned [16:53] Movement, for those unfamiliar, is a [16:55] block of over 120 countries founded [16:58] during the Cold War. [17:00] And today it's dominated by [17:01] authoritarian states, meaning that these [17:03] are all states that say that they're not [17:04] aligned with any block. [17:06] But it's mostly authoritarian countries. [17:09] So, the mandate itself is a political [17:11] weapon. That's the whole point of it. [17:12] It's it's it's meant to delegitimize [17:15] sanctions against bad actors. [17:17] And this and this uh special rapporteur, [17:19] Alena Douhan, [17:21] uh [17:22] she works for Belarus's state-funded [17:25] university. Belarus is not a democracy. [17:28] And uh [17:30] and she and and she wields this [17:32] political weapon. That's what she does. [17:33] She's conducted country visits to [17:35] Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Iran, Russia, [17:38] Qatar, Cuba, Syria, China, all lovely [17:42] places, right? And in every single case, [17:45] she produced a report absolving the [17:48] government of responsibility for its [17:49] people's suffering and blaming Western [17:52] sanctions instead. [17:54] Now, who funds her mandate? Who funds [17:56] her her office? [17:58] China. [17:59] $980,000 [18:01] over 5 years, nearly 2 $200,000 a year [18:05] from 2020 to 2024. [18:07] Russia, $265,000. [18:10] Qatar, $50,000. [18:13] In total, over $1.3 million paid [18:16] directly to her office [18:18] by the exact dictatorships she then [18:21] visits [18:22] and [18:24] then says that they're all innocent. [18:27] And there's no accounting for how any of [18:29] the money is spent. There's no [18:30] breakdown. There's no oversight. We just [18:31] don't know. [18:33] So, here's what we know. [18:35] Russia funded her mandate and she wrote [18:37] a report calling Russia a victim of [18:40] Western sanctions. China funded her [18:42] mandate and she appeared in a Chinese [18:44] propaganda video saying that [18:46] everything's fine with the Uyghurs. [18:49] Okay, this is a human rights mandate [18:52] funded by the regimes it's supposed to [18:54] hold accountable. [18:57] And uh the last uh expert we're going to [18:59] meet today is Reem Alsalem. Reem [19:03] Alsalem, the special rapporteur on [19:06] violence against women and girls. [19:10] There we go. I'll keep this one brief [19:11] because the facts don't really require [19:14] too many words. [19:17] UN Special Rapporteur on Violence [19:19] against Women, her entire mandate exists [19:22] to document and condemn sexual violence. [19:26] Well, on October 7th, 2023, Hamas [19:28] committed systematic sexual violence [19:31] against Israeli women. It was documented [19:35] extensively by the UN's own [19:37] investigators, by forensic experts, by [19:39] testimony, by Hamas' own body cameras. [19:43] And Reem Alsalem publicly minimized and [19:46] questioned those crimes. [19:50] She questioned them. [19:51] She's not sure about them. [19:53] She said that we're just not sure that [19:54] there's any evidence. [19:59] Maybe there's no real proof. [20:02] But at the same time, she has advanced [20:04] and amplified unverified allegations [20:07] that Israeli forces commit sexual [20:08] violence against Palestinian women. [20:11] The woman whose sole job is to protect [20:14] victims of sexual violence chose to [20:16] protect the narrative [20:18] over the victims. [20:20] Now, I I want to make sure that we that [20:22] we [20:23] understand that this is not just a few [20:25] bad apples. [20:27] That's not what this is. [20:28] The UN Watch report [20:31] documents a a politicized appointment [20:34] process. It selects for exactly these [20:37] kinds of people. And I've already talked [20:38] about how they're connected to each [20:40] other, a lot of them. [20:41] There was one occasion where the vetting [20:44] committee actually recommended a [20:46] genuinely impartial candidate for the [20:49] Palestinian Territories mandate. [20:52] And [20:53] the guy he was a Georgetown professor [20:55] with no record of [20:58] of prejudicial statements. He didn't [21:00] seem to be on either side. And Arab and [21:03] Islamic states immediately pressured the [21:06] Human Rights Council to reject her [21:09] to reject this this professor. [21:12] And and they wanted someone who had the [21:13] right views. So, she was passed over and [21:16] a candidate from the Islamic States [21:18] block was appointed instead. You see, if [21:21] you're impartial, you're actually [21:23] disqualified. That's the way it works. [21:25] Um that's the way the system works. The [21:28] Ford Foundation gave over $6 million [21:31] to various mandate [21:33] various of these mandates, that's what [21:34] each of them is called, over 8 years. [21:37] The George Soros' Open Society [21:39] Foundations gave approximately 3 [21:41] million. And Open Society openly [21:43] acknowledged that a donation to an [21:45] advocacy center at Rutgers was specific [21:48] was specifically intended to influence [21:50] and did influence [21:52] a rapporteur's choice of what they were [21:55] reporting. [21:57] Right? [21:58] That's their donation, right? They were [22:00] buying a UN report. [22:03] And when any of this is challenged, [22:04] there's no mechanism to do anything [22:06] about it. There's no oversight body, [22:08] right? Because any complaints just go to [22:10] the Coordination Committee, which as we [22:12] just saw was chaired by Dr. Mufleh Kayed [22:15] herself. The committee's own mandate [22:18] says that it exists to enhance and [22:20] facilitate the work of mandate holders, [22:22] meaning the oversight committee isn't [22:24] really oversight, it's just to help out [22:26] the other [22:27] the other members of you know, the other [22:28] mandate holders, that's what they're [22:30] called, these rapporteurs. It's not a [22:32] disciplinary body, it's not supposed to [22:33] hold them accountable. It's just a [22:35] union, it's just a group of friends. [22:38] So, rapporteurs can issue false [22:41] libelous [22:42] reports [22:44] and there's no accountability, and they [22:45] but they have credibility. [22:49] Right? This is you you know, there's the [22:51] expression the foxes are in the [22:52] henhouse, this is actually the foxes [22:56] own the henhouse. I don't know whatever [22:58] whatever the analogy should be, it's [23:00] It's a good analogy. [23:01] Okay. [23:02] Let me take a step back now and tell you [23:04] what I think is [23:07] is the big takeaway. [23:09] Because the corruption of the special [23:11] procedure system is just a symptom. [23:17] The United Nations was founded on a very [23:19] noble idea. Right, the world had just [23:21] come through [23:22] the most catastrophic war or wars in [23:24] human history. The founders of the UN [23:27] believed that if you create a forum [23:30] where all the nations can talk, where [23:31] every dispute has a diplomatic channel, [23:34] you could prevent wars and it'll be a [23:36] more peaceful world and everyone's at [23:38] the table. [23:40] The logic There's logic there. But [23:43] here's the fatal flaw baked into the UN [23:46] system from the beginning. [23:47] To bring everyone to the table, you have [23:49] to treat everyone at the table as [23:52] legitimate. [23:53] Right, you see you know this so you have [23:55] a democratically elected [23:57] government next to a dictatorial [24:00] despotic government and they have the [24:02] same vote. [24:03] A government chosen by its own people [24:05] and a government that seized power [24:08] through violence by I don't know, by [24:09] putting a bullet in the head of the [24:11] previous guy, they have the same [24:13] legitimacy and the same standing [24:15] and the same rights, the same UN [24:17] membership card. [24:20] So think about what that means. When you [24:22] do that, [24:25] that's a moral statement. [24:29] It's not neutral. [24:31] I understand the logic, you want people [24:32] to talk, but understand the morality of [24:34] this. [24:35] What we basically say with this [24:37] equivalency [24:39] of everyone being a member of the UN [24:41] is how a government comes to power, how [24:45] they hold power, how they wield power is [24:48] irrelevant to their legitimacy. [24:51] Whether a people freely choose their [24:52] leaders [24:54] or not is irrelevant. Power is power. A [24:57] seat at the UN table is a seat at the UN [25:00] table. [25:01] But it's not it's not just a [25:02] philosophical problem. You see, there's [25:04] real world consequences. [25:06] Because UN membership brings legitimacy, [25:10] and legitimacy [25:12] brings trade relationships, diplomatic [25:14] recognition, protection from military [25:17] intervention, access to international [25:19] institutions. [25:22] So, I control this country by force [25:27] becomes a recognized legal status with [25:29] concrete economic and political [25:31] benefits, right? I could I could take [25:33] over a country by by getting a a group [25:35] of thugs with me together, get some [25:36] guns, shoot the people in charge, take [25:38] over, declare ourselves dictators, and [25:40] we get to be in the UN. [25:43] With everything that comes with it. [25:47] And the the authoritarian countries in [25:50] the UN understood this [25:52] better than the democracies did. They [25:54] understood how to weaponize this whole [25:55] system. [25:56] And they've been weaponizing it [25:58] for decades. [26:00] So, Cuba creates the food mandate and [26:02] installs a Marxist [26:04] ally as their first rapporteur. [26:06] Iran and the Non-Aligned Movement create [26:08] the sanctions mandate to fight for [26:12] dictatorships to fight against [26:14] accountability, to fight against [26:16] sanctions from Western states. That's [26:17] why they created they use the UN. [26:19] China selects the free speech monitor. [26:25] You see how this works? [26:27] They didn't just benefit from the UN [26:30] system. They picked up tools of the UN [26:32] system and they used them. [26:35] The special procedure system was not [26:36] gradually corrupted. It was deliberately [26:39] captured by the people it was supposed [26:41] to hold accountable. [26:44] So, we have this very respected brand, [26:46] the United Nations. What's more [26:48] respected in international affairs? The [26:49] United Nations. [26:51] And they use it to launder their evil [26:53] and launder their propaganda [26:56] and give it a veneer of expert [26:58] stamp of approval of expert opinion. [27:02] That's the bankruptcy of the United [27:03] Nations. [27:05] It's not about being inefficient. Yeah, [27:08] it's not about being like oh [27:09] incompetent. It's not about being a [27:11] bureaucracy. The problem is it's it's a [27:14] structural problem. It's a moral [27:16] equivalence problem. The idea that a [27:18] vote from North Korea counts the same as [27:21] a vote from [27:23] from Denmark [27:26] that makes the whole UN concept not only [27:29] useless, it makes it harmful. [27:32] It legitimizes evil. [27:35] It doesn't constrain evil. It [27:36] legitimizes evil. It protects evil from [27:39] accountability. [27:40] And it hands evil regimes the weapons [27:43] that they can use against democracies [27:46] that are trying to hold them [27:47] accountable. [27:50] Let's end with some numbers. [27:53] Since October 7th, 2023 [27:56] when Hamas massacred over 1,200 [28:00] people that day. [28:02] The UN special procedures as a group [28:05] have issued 148 [28:07] statements [28:08] targeting Israel, condemning Israel. [28:10] 148. [28:13] Russia's war in Ukraine has produced 64. [28:16] Sudan's civil war that has displaced 13 [28:20] million people. [28:22] Displaced and and and and famine and [28:25] suffering. [28:26] There have been 24 statements about that [28:29] situation. 148 [28:32] about what's going on in Israel. 148. [28:36] 24 about what's going on in Sudan. When [28:39] Israel tried to implement a new aid [28:41] mechanism [28:42] to prevent distribution of aid, to [28:44] prevent Hamas from stealing humanitarian [28:47] supplies, these same experts condemned [28:50] what the Israelis were doing and [28:51] demanded a return to the old system, the [28:54] system that benefited Hamas. [28:56] They accused Israel, not Hamas. They [28:58] accused Israel of exploiting [29:00] humanitarian aid. The food rapporteur [29:02] ignored Hamas starving Israeli hostages. [29:05] The violence against women rapporteur [29:07] denied Hamas raped Israeli women. [29:14] >> [sighs] [29:15] >> The report I'm talking about today, [29:16] again, it's called from Watchdogs to [29:18] Ideologues, published in May 2026, just [29:21] last week, by UN Watch. Go to [29:24] unwatch.org. Hillel Neuer and his team [29:28] spent years building this. It's like 100 [29:30] pages long with 13 full profiles. [29:34] Um, look it up, unwatch.org. [29:37] Read the Read the report. Share it with [29:38] people. [29:39] What I want you to take away isn't to be [29:42] outraged, although you can be outraged [29:45] because it's the UN, it's just so [29:46] ridiculous. [29:47] I want you to understand. [29:50] That's what I want. That the problem [29:52] isn't a few bad actors. It's the system. [29:54] The United Nations, you should not be [29:56] ashamed to say to people, [29:58] reasonable people, that the United [30:00] Nations must be disbanded because it is [30:03] a cover. It is a shield for evil. It [30:06] facilitates evil. It's part of the [30:08] reason why we can't get rid of evil [30:11] despotic regimes because they have the [30:12] legitimacy of being a UN member. [30:15] It is a problem. [30:18] The UN is a problem. [30:20] God bless Hillel Neuer and the folks at [30:22] UN Watch for producing this report. That [30:24] is the end of my rant today.
