About Louise Arbour's 'dangerous
liaisons'

Lewise Wordsmyth's 'Louise Arbour's 'dangerous liaisons' (17th October
2007) is a damming indictment. It vividly brings to our attention, how
the 'peace industry' is destabilizing the third world in the most subtle
manner. Wordsmyth should be complimented for his, well researched, incisive
and timely report, exposing this diabolical agenda administered by the
peace industry. The report unequivocally documents the form of aggression
in store for the resource-less third world nations.
It also brings to our attention how the United Nations has been defrauded
and manipulated to be used as a tool for intervention of the defenseless
nations. Thus Louise Arbour is flouting UN charter's main principal;
political and territorial integrity of nations and none interference
in their internal affairs.
Insidiously, Arbour's 'employees' are remunerated by funds contributed
by rich Western donor Governments, such as USA, the UK, Scandinavia
and Italy and their related trans-national corporations; and not the
UN as we have come to understand. The world at large has been hoodwinked
into believing that these 'employees' are UN bureaucratic representatives.
But in reality they are agents of the above mentioned powers with covert
agendas.
What becomes alarmingly clear is Arbour's running a covert, rogue organisation,
financed and funded by Western nations and their arms industries.
Under the circumstances what that agenda is not hard to specify. A
scheming, power hungry, woman, Arbour is using non-existent powers to
intimidate the democratically elected governments while posing off as
if she has legitimacy and a mandate by the UN general assembly. In fact
her visit to Sri Lanka was to get some respite for the LTTE terrorists.
For eradicating terrorism and ending conflicts is counter productive
for Arbour and co. Obviously if there be no conflicts then they become
redundant and jobless. No wonder there is a silence every time the LTTE
terrorists perpetrate a massacre.
In the subtlest manner the terrorists are encouraged to carry out their
excesses, and at the same time holding the democratically elected governments
to ransom.
Looking from this angle then it is no wonder that the conflicts of
the world never get resolved.
Most nations do not take such manipulative activities seriously until
one of them is selected to be targeted. Indeed we find the Buddhists
nations especially vulnerable to this neo-colonial onslaught. The next
in line 'to be saved' will be, and you guessed it, 'Burma'. The International
Christian organizations are at the barricades of this mission to 'save'
this country. And the irony is, the Burmese Buddhist monks are 'freedom
fighters' while those activists' monks in Sri Lanka are 'Sinhalese Buddhist
chauvinists', a specification conveniently twisted to fit their agenda.
Not that we are condoning the military junta of that country. But in
the guise of promoting democracy in Burma that country may soon end
up as the next brothel of the NGO peaceniks and expose its resources
to the multinational companies to be raped at leisure.
And true to form, the other day we hear "The United States calls
on the government of Sri Lanka to reconsider its opposition to expansion
of the OHCHR office and mandate in Sri Lanka."
The statement makes it crystal clear why; for, "We remain concerned
about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sri Lanka, as confirmed
by the recent assessment of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise
Arbour. An international human rights presence in Sri Lanka would be
an important step in improving human rights, accountability, and the
rule of law, and ultimately resolving the conflict in Sri Lanka."
In fact we have to remind the US ambassador Blake that we are also
very concerned by USA's aggression in Iraq and its human rights violations
for the last 4 years. There is a grave need for monitoring Human Rights
violations by USA in that country. Strangely it invaded Iraq when the
UN did not offer a mandate for such an adventure. Through its undemocratic
invasion of a sovereign nation recognised by the UN; US have generated
a blowback Islamic monster. Strangely enough human rights violators
of USA cannot be produced before an International court of justice for
such abuses. Those courts are their only for 'small boy' nations to
be a disciplined, for we know that 'all nations are equal but some are
more equal than others'.
Yet the point is, how can such resource-less, backward nations dodge
this neo-colonial stratagems of intervention. Must we all sit back and
wait while the 'peace industry' picks them off one at a time?
In fact there is a wider strategy unfolding, more devious than the one
envisaged by Wordsmyth. Its main target may ultimately be India in the
region. Indeed India will soon find itself surrounded by a sea of destabilized
nations: Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and soon Burma. So are the ulterior
motives of such activity in the region directed towards pining down
India and blocking its economic growth and halting its climb to be a
global power?
Wordsmyth, while comprehensively documenting the 'modus of operandi'
of Louise Arbour and co, still has not offered an antidote for the malady.
Its time smaller nations take such ploys by the peace industry seriously
as they may be the target next time around. Some sort of action is called
for in order to make these nations aware of the hidden agenda by these
'peacenik wolves in sheep's clothing'. An information war is acutely
needed at this hour to relay to these nations of the threat they are
facing and to make them come together and act in unison in order to
counter such forthcoming neo-colonial manipulative wars of intervention.
