UN vote: US slave state Guatemala vs independent Venezuela

HR - intro + links

Tuesday October 17th - 2006 - In the beginning of the fifties Guatemala very positively was known as the 'Switzerland of Latin America' - with elected president Jacobo Arbenz at the democratic helm. Supposed to be a 'slave state' like many others, in 1954 the United States and CIA ousted him by a coup for the US's 'United Fruit' multinational (Chiquita etc.) and since then Guatemala has been terrorized as a kind of US colony, one of the last at present.

The people in Latin America the last years have had - and admired - Venezuela and president Hugo Chavez as an example for a humane society, and that's why so many countries in the Bolton-bulldozered United Nations (outside the US called 'United Stations') - with it's 'sell out' losers at the top - must be bribed, bullied and forced in whatever way possible, to vote for a seat in the UN for US colony Guatemala. As one of the last bastions in South America where Colombia suffers the most, with it's US military bases and training. Like in the Torture University '- Url.: http://tinyurl.com/y5tllj

According to all international law and conventions it is a crime against humanity what the international profiteers have done and are doing globally and now again in what they always treated as 'the backyard of the US'' with it's Monroe doctrine.* People are sacrificed by the US war machine for the oil - like planned for Venezuela and the present battle in Ecuador* - and other national resources.- Url.: http://www.fff.org/comment/com0502f.asp

Basically it's a vote about whether you support the permanent and global killing-for-profit spree of the US/Israeli war machine with it's criminal collaborators in the US colonies and NATO, via genocides trying to establish a bleeding the world economy regime c.q dominance, or do you support a more social and humane track as represented by President Hugo Chavez's 'Bolivarian revolution' rule in Venezuela, helping the neighbours instead of killing them. Just one example: With my own eyes I've seen how the CIA for it's money masters raped Chile and 'suicided' their hope for a better live; President Salvador Allende. Believe me: the clique doing this is worse than AIDS or vultures!* - HR

FOUR ELECTED WITH ONE UNCERTAIN FOR UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP

CHINA SUPPORTS VENEZUELA RUNNING FOR NON-PERMANENT MEMBERSHIP OF UNSC (below)

The UN General Assembly failed on Monday to produce a fifth winner after electing Belgium, Indonesia, Italy and South Africa to serve as nonpermanent members of the Security Council for two-year terms.

Since the fifth nonpermanent seat, to be awarded to a member of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean States, is still in contention after ten rounds of election, Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa, the president of the UN General Assembly, announced to set further voting on Tuesday.

During the day-long elections, neither Guatemala nor Venezuela, which are candidates from their regional group, obtained the needed two-thirds majority. In the tenth round of voting where 125 votes were needed to win, Guatemala received 110 votes and Venezuela 77 with 4 abstentions.

CHINA SUPPORTS VENEZUELA RUNNING FOR NON-PERMANENT MEMBERSHIP OF UNSC

China supports Venezuela's application for a non-permanent position in the United Nations Security Council, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang on Thursday.

"China and Venezuela now enjoy sound bilateral relations and have maintained close communication and cooperation in dealing with international and regional affairs," said Qin.

Qin told the press that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez had talked about the country's plans to run for non-permanent member status on the UN Security Council in meetings with senior Chinese officials during his recent visit to China.

According to the UN rules, a country from the Latin American and Caribbean region will be appointed to the Security Council as a non-permanent member next year. Its tenure will last for two years. There are ten non-permanent and five permanent members on the UN Security Council.

Semitic: a branch or sub-family of languages that includes Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew.” - Palestinians and Lebanese for instance, are semites.

But what the US/Israeli war machine is doing, is anti semitism on a global scale.
