After Dallas Cop Killings, UN Touts “Black Lives Matter”

The blood of five murdered Dallas police officers, reportedly shot dead by at least one racist “black power” activist who hated whites, was barely dry when the United Nations put out an official press release touting “black lives matter” and blasting American law enforcement for “structural racism.” The UN’s “experts” on “people of African descent” also called for prosecuting and punishing local police officers involved in two recent fatal shootings, ignoring due process and other constitutionally guaranteed protections ensuring that all Americans are considered innocent until proven guilty. In another troubling sign of UN extremism, which has included co-hosting events with the racist Black Lives Matter extremist group and flying them in to speak at UN events, the UN also demanded that the U.S. government “strongly assert” that “Black lives matter.” Why the UN thought this was a good time to push racism and hate was not clear, but it does fit in to a larger pattern and agenda.

The UN’s own “peace” forces are currently facing global condemnation for systematic sexual abuse of children worldwide, especially in Africa. Separately, UN troops killed thousands of Haitians with Cholera recently, and mercilessly slaughtered African civilians in the Ivory Coast, and Katanga before that. Instead of cleaning its own house, though, the UN bureaucracy has become increasingly bold in fanning hatred and division while exploiting controversial incidents to demand that Americans be stripped of their individual rights. Now, exploiting dead people for cheap political gain, the UN appears to be sinking to even lower lows. With a July 8 press release, the trend of the UN making demands on America and meddling in its internal affairs in violation of the UN charter continued to accelerate, following numerous similar incidents.

Pointing to the recent police shootings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana, a UN “expert” said the killings, which are still being investigated by authorities, demonstrated that American law enforcement is plagued by “a high level of structural and institutional racism.” In the formal statement, the UN “human rights” official exploited the deaths of Castile and Sterling, saying the “perpetrators” needed to be “punished.” The UN did not say whether the officers deserved a fair investigation and trial prior to punishment. “The Working Group [of Experts on People of African Descent] is outraged and strongly condemns the new police killings of two African-American men,” declared UN “human rights expert” Ricardo A. Sunga III in a statement sent to the media and posted on the UN webpage.

Despite not being African or of African descent, Sunga III, a Filipino, currently chairs the UN “Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent.” Yes, that is a real thing — in fact, it is the same UN outfit that earlier this year visited America to demand reparations for slavery, more infringements on the constitutionally protected rights to self defense and to keep and bear arms, an end to voter ID laws, and much more. It was not clear why the UN could not find an African or a person of African descent to lead the so-called UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, though critics speculated it might be due to bigotry. The outfit’s previous chairperson, Mireille Fanon-Mendes-France, is from France, though at least she reportedly had an African ancestor on one side of the family.

The extreme UN comments illustrated the chasm between UN “justice” and traditional American notions of due process. “We call for prompt independent investigations to ensure the perpetrators are prosecuted and punished,” continued Sunga III, seemingly unaware that multiple independent investigations were ongoing. The UN bureaucrat might also have been unaware that, in America, at least, decisions on whether to prosecute people are generally taken after investigations have been completed. Under America’s system of constitutional government, it is also wildly inappropriate for officials to call for punishment before somebody has even been charged with a crime — much less convicted in a court of law by a jury of his or her peers. In the United States, all suspects enjoy the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

The UN “expert,” whose qualifications to be an “Expert on People of African Descent” were not immediately clear, also took the opportunity to again demonize American police officers as racist yahoos out to murder black people. “Excessive use of force by the police against African Americans in the United States is a regular occurrence,” he claimed. “African Americans are reportedly shot at more than twice the rate of white people.” In the real world, the studies that have been done completely demolish the the establishment-backed narrative of anti-black U.S. police. According to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Experimental Criminology, police are actually less likely to shoot black suspects than white suspects. About twice as many whites are killed by police each year than blacks, according to CDC data.

But not to worry, the UN imagines itself to be on top of everything. “The Working Group is monitoring the situation and has repeatedly expressed its concern to the United States Government about police killings of African Americans and called for justice,” said the bureaucrat, patronizing black Americans as if they were helpless victims in need of help from the UN dictators club, which has member tyrants in good standing that have exterminated entire tribes of Africans. “The Working Group is convinced that the root of the problem lies in the lack of accountability for perpetrators of such killings despite the evidence. The killings also demonstrate a high level of structural and institutional racism.” With a half African man in the White House elected by mostly white voters from across America, it was not clear how the UN could justify claiming “structural and institutional racism.” Ironically, Sunga III’s nation was named one of the most racist countries in the world in a recent study.

As an apparent afterthought, Sunga also devoted one line of his screed to “condemn” the “attacks” on police in Dallas, in which 12 officers were shot. However, the UN bureaucrat, apparently unfamiliar with the U.S. Constitution, was much more interested in fanning hate and demonizing local police. He also attacked America, blatantly lying by claiming that the nation does not recognize equal rights. “The United States is far from recognizing the same rights for all its citizens. Existing measures to address racist crimes motivated by prejudice are insufficient and have failed to stop the killings,” he claimed. “It is time, now, for the US Government to strongly assert that Black lives matter and prevent any further killings as a matter of national priority.”

It is hardly the first time the UN has pushed the establishment-funded “Black Lives Matter” extremism. Indeed, the UN, like Obama, who has been accused by leading law enforcement leaders of waging “War” on police, has a long and troubling history of associating with the radical movement. In November of last year, for example, the UN hosted a special event that was co-sponsored by, among other outfits, the Black Lives Matter Initiative, the UN Department of Public Information, UNESCO, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Among the speakers was Alicia Garza, a co-founder of the racist Black Lives Matter movement who has openly praised convicted cop-killer and communist fugitive Assata Shakur for supposed contributions to the “Black Liberation Movement.”

More recently, BLM extremist Tef Poe, who bragged about testifying at the discredited UN “Human Rights Council” to “slap these Ferguson pigs with war crime charges and torture charges,” took to Twitter to threaten “white people” that he and other “young [expletive removed] such as myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go.” Charles Wade, another BLM extremist, was flown to Geneva to speak at the UN “Human Rights Council,” which was re-constituted after Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was elected to lead it but still includes many of the most savage mass murderers on earth as members. In May, Wade was arrested for child trafficking and prostituting a child.

Of course, black lives really do matter, just as all lives matter. The irony of BLM, though, is that the very politicians and organizations pushing the racist Black Lives Matter movement are the same ones literally trying their best to reduce the number of black people on the planet by any means necessary. The UN, for instance, openly celebrates its efforts to reduce the population of Africans using everything from abortion to contraception. Last year, Catholic bishops and doctors in Kenya uncovered a UN “vaccination” program secretly sterilizing African women against their will. Tax-funded abortion giant Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, was founded by a racist eugenicist, and continues to snuff out the lives of massive numbers of black babies — all with fervent support from the Democrat Party and the UN.

Whether or not there are problems in certain local police departments, it is not an issue for the federal government, much less for the dictators club that is the UN. What is happening is a strategy known as “divide and conquer.” The establishment hopes that by dividing Americans into different victim groups and fanning the flames of hate, they can further their extreme agenda, which includes usurping control over local police departments and centralizing power at the national and even global level. The sinister forces behind the “Black Lives Matter” movement don’t care about black lives any more than they care about the pre-born lives they destroy by the millions. Americans must stand united and refuse to be divided and deceived by the establishment and the dictators club. It is also time to demand an #Amexit from the UN with the American Sovereignty Restoration Act.

July 10 update: After this article was published, the UN completely revamped its press release, even changing the headline.
