Swiss media reports UNRWA scandal: Geneva's Le Temps letemps.ch/monde/pierre-k… @luislema; Zurich's NZZ nzz.ch/schweiz/schwei… @FabianSchaefer1 @Surber_M_; & TV: rts.ch/info/suisse/10…; yet none mentioned Swiss government allegedly funded special post for UNRWA chief's mistress.
@luislema @FabianSchaefer1 @Surber_M_ "The position is funded by the Swiss government, but the cash-strapped agency was alleged to have paid for extensive business class travel for her, despite UN rules restricting such privileges."

wrmea.org/2019-august-se…
@luislema @FabianSchaefer1 @Surber_M_ Perhaps someone will ask Jacqueline Birrer, Switzerland's Institutional Focal Point for UNRWA, to clarify why the Swiss taxpayers paid for UNRWA chief Pierre Krähenbühl to hire his mistress & fly her around the world, & why it was not disclosed here: eda.admin.ch/dam/countries/…
@luislema @FabianSchaefer1 @Surber_M_ "Switzerland’s financial support contributed to catalytic initiatives enabling... relations with staff."

1/ Ken Roth is lying. America pulled out of the UN Human Rights Council (members include China, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, and other champions), and it's absolutely not sending an ambassador to that body.

Roth is a serial liar about the UNHRC. Let's take a look.
2/ On July 11, Roth said the UNHRC "condemned Venezuela." Lie. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

I was at the Sept. 2018 negotiations & urged a clear condemnation of Maduro. Instead, they refused to criticize the regime. "Condemn" appears nowhere in the resolution.
unwatch.org/un-adopts-wate…
3/ In that same op-ed, Ken Roth says the UNHRC is "strong." Lie.
The truth is that the UNHRC gives the worst dictators a free pass.
Members include:
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇨🇳 China
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇵🇰 Pakistan
🇮🇶 Iraq
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇪🇷 Eritrea
🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇧🇩 Bangladesh
🇨🇲 Cameroon

I just took the floor at the United Nations to ask why their Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women decided this year to investigate #Canada.

My speech: "Madam Rapporteur, we congratulate you on the 25th anniversary of this UN mandate, which has the significant power..."
"...to put the most pressing situations of violence against women on the world agenda.

This year, out of all the countries in the world, you chose to investigate Canada. The previous year, it was Australia...."
"We have three questions:

1. How do you choose which countries to examine? What is your methodology? Let me be clear: Violence against women exists everywhere and must be combated everywhere. But if one puts victims first, then, based on logic and morality..."

Je vais tenter ce thread, tant que j'en ai le courage...
Je crois que votre image du délire / d'une personne délirante est mauvaise, biaisée. Combien viennent nous dire qu'on est pas schizo parce que trop "lucide".
il y a un tas de choses que vous ne voyez pas.
Je crois que dans votre tête, une personne délirante, ça fait du bruit, ça crie, ça se jette dans les murs, ça tue des gens. C'est vrai que ça existe. Ce que vous comprenez pas c'est que statistiquement c'est une goutte d'eau, et que c'est un état de crise. Sauf qu'un délire,
ça ne se manifeste pas QUE en état de crise. Ça peut être latent, invisible. D'autant plus invisibles que vous ne savez pas (où) regarder. Vous ne voyez pas, ce n'est pas spectaculaire, on en fera pas un film, pourtant c'est là, bien présent, partout.

Après des mois de #liberté au #chômage, je suis forcé de retourner au chagrin demain. J'ai la boule au ventre. Surtout quand on vient me féliciter.
Vous félicitez les gens qui retournent en prison vous ?

Réflexion et constat sur l'esclavage salarial et la valeur #travail.
👇
Je ne vais pas mentir : je n'ai jamais eu l'esprit Startup ou compétitif, j'ai toujours été ➕ Thomas VDB qu'Emmanuel Macron. Mais quand j'ai commencé à bosser, je n'avais pas fini mes études et j'ai été happé dans le truc et me suis dit que finalement j'allais peut-ê y arriver.
Pas la peine de tergiverser : je n'y suis pas arrivé. Mon travail était détruit tous les 3 jours dès qu'un chef changeait d'avis, mes idées moquées ou récupérées et on me reprochait le fait de trop venir en aide à mes collègues.

En ce qui me concerne, chaque 17 novembre, je repense à cette petite leçon de vie, un jour où j'ai failli la perdre, justement, avant de pouvoir connaitre un enfant encore dans le ventre de sa mère. Mais où tout s'est bien terminé.
⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️
Chaque année, j'y repense un peu niaisement, un peu amusé, et le sourire aux lèvres, parceque j'ai beaucoup appris de cette expérience, et que ma manière d'aborder le présent et les tracas du quotidien n'est plus la même.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
