Durban II
Posted by Dave Blount at December 24, 2007 12:23 PM
The United Nations has more on its plate than exploiting the thoroughly discredited global warming hoax to cripple the American economy and expropriate vast sums of loot. There is also the usual business of anti-American, anti-Israel conferences, the most infamous of which took place in Durban, South Africa in 2001. This debacle deteriorated into such an outrage that mild-mannered Colin Powell withdrew the US delegation, and denounced the UN for its fanatical hatred of Israel.
Now UN bureauweenies are planning Durban II. Once again, the supposed purpose is to fight racism, which the UN typically accomplishes by spewing bilious condemnations at the Jewish state.
In 2001, South Africa picked up most of the tab. This time, they want the money to come out of the core budget — 22% of which is extracted from the pockets of Americans. The estimated cost is $6.8 million, putting America's contribution at $1,496,000. That's a steep price to pay to see the lackeys of corrupt dictators throw clots of mud at our country and our ally — though not much compared to what they hope to extract from us through the global warming swindle.
On a tip from Byron.
