Secretary of State Blinken is setting us up for paying reparations

July 19, 2021  By Carol Greenwald

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is neither naïve nor stupid. So why did he invite United Nations officials to investigate systemic racism in the United States? It cannot be for the sophomoric reason he stated:

“Responsible nations must not shrink from scrutiny of their human rights record; rather, they should acknowledge it with the intent to improve.”

It is the responsibility of the American people and their elected representative, not the UN, to examine and improve, if needed, the human rights record of the US.

Human Rights Council is “a who’s who of genocidal maniacs, murderous thugs and tinpot dictators,” and the Biden administration was sending “the worst possible signal” by rejoining it, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said on Sunday. Haley, who oversaw the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Human Rights Council, told the Christians United for Israel 2021 summit that the Geneva-based body’s obsessive focus on Israel was “the height of hypocrisy and insanity, and it shows how broken the council really is.”
