What really got the US booted from the commission is a general and growing hatred of the US by other nations – even the European nations. There was an intense effort, led by China, Russia and Cuba to not renew the membership of the US on the commission. The US was a constant thorn in the side of these and other totalitarian governments as the US took what appeared to these nations to be a "holier than thou" position on human rights violations. But, what surprised everyone was that behind the scenes, France and other European nations were also lobbying against the US.

The growing hatred of the US

Stratfor intelligence believes this is part of a much more serious issue. "The vote ... was of momentous political import both for the United States and the growing number of nations that resent U.S. political and military hegemony a decade after the end of the Cold War," reported Stratfor on May 14. According to Stratfor, "when Clinton engaged the U.S. military in its multiple foreign interventions, the president’s justification was to support the human rights of those we sought to help. " The world did not buy this rhetoric, especially when the United States failed to act consistently on human rights, such as its hands-off approach toward genocide in Rwanda in 1994" and the ethnic cleansing of millions of non-Muslims in Southern Sudan – mostly Christians – by the Muslim government.

"France’s delight at the vote – and its reported behind-the-scenes work to scuttle U.S. membership – indicates our putative friends and enemies feel extremely uncomfortable about unchecked American power," claims Stratfor. The expulsion from the UN Human Rights Commission also reveals "a rejection of America’s constant legitimization of foreign policy adventures based on human rights. It is also an attempt to limit American utilization of the United Nations as a justification for protecting its own global interests," notes Stratfor. "Indeed, when critics pointed out such inconsistencies during the 1998 Kosovo air war, the Clinton administration further confirmed the perception of whim when the U.S. government made it clear it reserved the right to select whether or how to intervene. The U.S. and NATO intervention in Kosovo went against the wishes of China and Russia. In Beijing, Chinese officials perceived the human rights justification for military action as a direct attempt by the United States to destabilize their regime."

Stratfor claims Clinton's global misadventures on internal US politics. While there is truth in this – Clinton managed to find an international crisis to throw cruise missiles at every time he was in political hot water – Stratfor misses the fact that Clinton was being driven by the global agenda to create a world government. As detailed in the May, 1999 Discerning the Times Digest, and many other Digest issues, the human rights pretext for the bombing was merely the surface justification for the larger global mandate to establish the right of the international community to intervene in the affairs of sovereign nations – as spelled out in the UN Commission on Global Governances 1995 report. 

What really precipitated the expulsion of the US off the commission was the desire to dethrone the US as the global Hegemon controlling the process to create a world government. Everyone in the world seems to know about it except US citizens and analysts like Stratfor. The world also wanted to silence the only voice that still exposes the heinous human rights records of most nations of the world. 

The hypocrisy of the UN to protect human rights

The hypocrisy of the expulsion from the UN Human Rights Commission was glaringly obvious by which nations were voted in. At the same time the US was voted off the UN Human Rights Commission, Sudan, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Togo – all countries with poor to atrocious human rights records –  were voted into the commission. The Muslim Sudanese government, for instance, has slaughtered or enslaved some 2 million Sudanese Christians and animists in Southern Sudan in one of the most massive "ethnic cleansing" efforts in the history of mankind. Yet, not only has the UN turned a blind eye to this atrocity, they voted the offending government to sit on the very same UN commission that is supposed to prevent these kind of violations.

Likewise, China has one of the worst Human Rights records in the UN and has brutally arrested and even killed religious leaders in China, including Christians. Fox News reported on May 5 that Zhu Muzhi, honorary president of the China Society for the Study of Human Rights, was quoted as saying in the China Daily that the US was booted from the body because of its "long biased condemnation of other countries using the camouflage of 'human rights.'"  Because the US wanted a censure vote against China by the UN commission last year for its human rights abuses, China campaigned relentlessly with other nations not to vote for the US when it came up for renewal this year. 

Human rights according to the world 

China actually believes the US has no right to raise the human rights issue with China. As far as China is concerned, it is an "internal affair" and not open to review by outsiders. Why? Because China is a "statist" nation, as are most of the UN members, including European socialist nations. Therefore, the citizens belong to the state and have no rights other than what is given them by the state. The only thing that separates Europe from China is that the European leaders get their power by being elected. Hence, they are more responsive to the electorate. But only marginally so. "Even friends in Western Europe would rather we just looked the other way when it comes to human rights in China,'' Rep. Chris Smith, R-NJ said, adding that it comes down to the importance of trade. "It's all about money.''

The Chinese government, especially, views the people as property to be managed for the benefit of the state. Hence, if a group threatens the state (i.e. the leadership), then the problem is resolved through force, not unlike what the Romans did in Christ's time. They are totally baffled by the concept of human rights as demanded by the US. It is a problem of worldviews. To them it is utter arrogance for the US to challenge their right to use their people as they see fit. It is exactly opposite of the worldview of most conservative Americans, who believe the federal (and state) governments in the US are arrogant for believing they can tell us how we should use our own bought-and-paid-for private property.

The biggest difference between the American concept of property rights and that of the Chinese is the belief in the one true God. The US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution are based on the Biblical belief that people are not property. Why? Because people are created by God in His image and therefore have God-given inalienable rights. The entire US Constitution therefore is structured on the premise that US citizens must be protected from the government! This is ludicrous to the rest of the world. Both China's form of government as well as the UN Charter, on the other hand, are based on man's belief that government and ruling elite have all power and humans are merely there to serve the state.

Even the much vaunted United Nations Universal Human Rights Declaration only allows those rights as determined by the UN. In Article 29, the Declaration states, "In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations." The human rights of earth's citizens, therefore, are totally dependent on the laws of the United Nations and how "morality, public order and the general welfare" is defined by the ruling elite.

The move to oust the US from the UN Human Rights commission is not only tragic, it is tragically repulsive. But, perhaps one good thing will come from it. Just like the EP-3 mid-air collision forced millions of Americans to realize that China was our enemy and not our friend, the UN expulsion of the US from the Human Rights commission just might show how global governance and world government will really work. The US will be destroyed under such politicized governance because the political powers of the world hate the freedom America has. Worse, there will be no such thing as Human Rights under this world government.
