(AP Photo/Wong Maye-E, File) As if we needed even more proof that the United Nations is a hypocritical cartoon, pariah-state North Korea, under U.N. sanctions for feverishly pursuing a ballistic nuclear weapons program, has taken over the rotating presidency of the U.N.’s Conference on Disarmament. Can you spell hypocrisy?
Before we get into the irony of this idiocy, a short explanation of how the above came about.
As reported by the Washington Post on Friday, all member states get a turn at the presidency of the conference. In the past, Western countries, with good reason, have often criticized the rotation, such as when Syria took over the presidency several years ago.
While the presidency is largely symbolic and administrative, the notion of North Korea and its nutjob dictator, Kim Jung Un at the helm of a nuclear disarmament conference illustrates the absolute hypocrisy of the “august” body, much like when Saudi Arabia was elected to the U.N.’s Commission on the Status of Women — a country at the time in which women were not allowed to drive their own cars. Saudi women still must obtain the permission of a male guardian before they can travel outside of the country, work, or marry.
Han Tae Song, North Korea’s ambassador, opened the conference session by urging member countries to work toward “peace and security” and expressed willingness to work with all member states, adding that criticism from Western countries was “nothing new,” and simply “copy-and-paste” of past (legitimate) criticisms. Please.
Han also dragged out the old “North Korea has a right to defend itself” schtick, because NoKo is still technically at war with the U.S., with only a cease-fire — vs. a treaty — signed to halt the 1950-53 Korean War. Meh. Typical, paranoid commentary from a paranoid, hermit dictatorship.
The larger issue here is the […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
