Wikileaks: Ban Ki-Moon Secretly Worked With Israel to Undermine UN Report on Gaza
11 August 14
n a startling revelation, it has come to light that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon asked the "members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) not to take into account the report submitted by the UN Board of Inquiry that accused Israel of targeting UN buildings in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009".
Quoting some documents released by WikiLeaks on Friday, TeleSUR English reported, "Ban Ki-moon secretly worked with Israel to undermine UN report into Gaza war crimes."
"Ban wrote a letter to the UN Security Council asking its members not to take recommendations by the UN Board of Inquiry about Israeli bombings in Gaza into account," the report alleged.
In its report, the UN Board of Inquiry had concluded that "Israeli Defense Force (IDF) targeted UN buildings in Gaza Strip in seven of the nine attacks. The report also accused Israel of having "breached the inviolability and immunity of UN premises". Ithad recommended an impartial probe into the bombings at UN facilities.
According to WikiLeaks, White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice spoke four times with Ban Ki Moon "to discuss concerns over the Board of Inquiry's report on incidents at UN sites in December 2008 and January 2009".
"Rice urged Ban not to include the recommendations in the final report's summary, which was supposed to be transmitted to the UN Security Council on May 5," says WikiLeaks.
But the Secretary-General replied he was unable to alter the report and recommendations of the Board of Inquiry as it was independent.
Rice, in the second conversation, "urged the Secretary-General to make clear in his cover letter when he transmits the summary to the Security Council that those recommendations exceeded the scope of the terms of reference and no further action is needed". Ban told her that his "staff were working with an Israeli delegation on the text of the cover letter".
Secretary-General Ban called Rice after the letter had been finalized to "report that he believed they had arrived at a satisfactory cover letter". "Rice thanked the Secretary-General for his exceptional efforts on such a sensitive issue," revealed WikiLeaks.

A note of caution regarding our comment sections:
For months a stream of media reports have warned of coordinated propaganda efforts targeting political websites based in the U.S., particularly in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
We too were alarmed at the patterns we were, and still are, seeing. It is clear that the provocateurs are far more savvy, disciplined, and purposeful than anything we have ever experienced before.
It is also clear that we still have elements of the same activity in our article discussion forums at this time.
We have hosted and encouraged reader expression since the turn of the century. The comments of our readers are the most vibrant, best-used interactive feature at Reader Supported News. Accordingly, we are strongly resistant to interrupting those services.
It is, however, important to note that in all likelihood hardened operatives are attempting to shape the dialog our community seeks to engage in.
Adapt and overcome.

Ban is South Korean. South Korea has been, in more than several ways, a colony of the U.S. since the Korean War armistice.
We MUST vote the Democrats & Republicans out of our politics. See my two most recent articles & my comments posted under them:
RISING FROM A MEEK CREVICE, published at http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/78-78/25072-rising-from-a-meek-crevice
And HOW NOT TO OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED, published at http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/78-78/24423-how-not-to-overturn-citizens-united
In the latter article's case (HOW NOT TO OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED), see also especially my last two comments posted under that article.
In the former article's case
(RISING FROM A MEEK CREVICE), see also especially my last comment posted under that article
Surely Rice must be fired ignominiously. And surely, the firing must be reported so that the public will understand the heinousness of her conduct and so that the public will wonder whether Obama is more guilty and ought to be condemned.
Surely, Ban Ki-Moon must be removed from office ignominiously & prosecuted in the International Criminal Court.
South Korea is a Rome Statute party (subject to jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_parties_to_the_Rome_Statute_of_the_International_Criminal_Court
The court has jurisdiction of acts of nationals of nations that are such parties. Ban Ki-Moon's conspiracy involvement was aiding & abetting Israel's war crimes & crimes against humanity & especially Israel's genocidal conduct. So, the Court could judge him guilty & punish him.
Alas, the U.S. is not a Rome Statute party. So, the Court does not have jurisdiction of Rice's or Obama's conduct.
But, surely, they will not remove themselves. We need to remove them at the ballot box. See http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/78-78/25072-rising-from-a-meek-crevice and my last comment posted under that article
YOU did not READ.
Ban said he was unable to alter the report. But he said also that he and his "staff were working with an Israeli delegation on the text of the cover letter." And Ban phoned Rice to "report that he believed they had arrived at a satisfactory cover letter." And Ban asked the "members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) not to take into account the report submitted by the UN Board of Inquiry that accused Israel of targeting UN buildings in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009."
Those facts show, clearly, that Ban corrupted his office and attempted to corrupt (and perhaps did corrupt) the pertinent deliberations of the UN Security Council — to satisfy the interests of criminal, terrorist Israel & the equally criminal terrorist government of the U.S., which is complicit in Israel's myriad mass crimes.
Ban's office requires that he not favor the interests of ANY nation or (worse) work with two nations (Israel & the U.S.) to cover their crimes against a people (the Palestinian people) they have terrorized with killing, maiming, home-demolishin g, infrastructure/ water/power destroying weapons & with besiegement & apartheid denying basics of life.
Ban favored the interests of the U.S. & Israel and did great harm to the interests of the ordinary Palestinians who are suffering Israel's genocidal terrorism, supported, criminally, by the U.S. and, now, by Ban.
Elsewhere I observed:
"Recall, that in the 1992 presidential election, Ross Perot got 18.9% of the vote and, very likely, killed the first Bush's chance of re-election. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1992
"Recall that a Socialist is now an elected member of the City Council of Seattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshama_Sawant
"Recall that thrice a Socialist was elected mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zeidler
"Right now, a socialist (just nominally Democrat) Mayor runs New York City. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_de_Blasio#Early_career
"And Bernie Sanders is both an independent & a socialist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#U.S._Senate"
See http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/78-78/25072-rising-from-a-meek-crevice
To render the two now-main political Parties impotent, we need law that bars all candidates' having any private funding & more than a set amount of public finding, so independents & some third-party candidates can be elected.

Also, I am not being bleakly fatalistic. I've just read my species history and it just doesn't change.
That is bullshit. You were/are rude. Use his ENTIRE posting name or Mr. Jaffee.
Consider having your infantile ego enrolled in a remedial education program.
As for using your first name, I'm just following established protocol. When there is a first name MOST people use that when addressing someone whose posting.
If you have a problem with what I posted then say so instead of using this faux excuse to change the subject. What I posted was fact. Read your history. Man has behaved in the same infantile way all the way back to Cain and Abel. You must agree....murder is the height of politics.
This deserves being repeated: Consider having your infantile ego enrolled in a remedial education program.
Consider also that often such egos reside in utterly ego-syntonic psyches.
While the Security Council was necessary in the pre-digital world in the 21st century it is outmoded & corrupt. It must be eliminated to never again be resurrected.
Ideally a new international body should have its own island. Maybe Britain could take Diego Garcia back from the USA, allow what's left of its people host the new world body of international laws.
The last 2 failures of international bodies was because they were established by the major winners of a world war. We need a new body to be established in relative peace by nation not involved including funding in conflict anywhere on the planet.
Member nations must accept all provisions of the body including elimination of WMD & ICC. We could eliminate rogue states through international boycott. All nuclear weapons nation must comply with the terms of the NPT & eliminate their nukes!
1. Ban Ki Moon must be impeached.
2. The UN has to be moved away from New York. I recommend Bangladesh.
And to recommend a third action: Ambassador Rice should be taken out of office.
The world needs a truly independent UN. It must move out of NY and its charter needs to be re-written so that the Big Five colonial powers do not have contol of the Security Council. France, US, UK, Russia, China simply do not have the moral credibility to run the UN. There's really great work done in the General Assembly among all the nations of the world. In the General Assembly votes are often against the great colonial powers.
The new Amerika could not care for its people one whit, served as it is by criminals and traitors.
