UNGA Echoes With Truths, Half-Truths, and Preposterous Lies

By: Kayhan Int’l 

The weeklong 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which is in progress in New York City and will end on September 30, has seen heads of several countries take to its podium to spell their positions on domestic and international issues, with full knowledge that their views will remain disputed whether they have dwelt on realities and told the truth, whether they have said half-truths, or whether they have uttered preposterous lies in a bid to mislead the audience.

In the next few days, as the list of the few dozen presidents, prime ministers, and kings, addressing the World Body ends, ministers representing the absentee chief executives of the remaining world nations will address the U.N.

If President Hassan Rouhani in his speech pointed to the manifest facts and proposed what he called "Coalition of Hope” for ensuring free navigation in the Persian Gulf for all littoral states and safeguarding security in the region, which he rightly said "cannot be bought by billions of dollars of weapons or purchased through foreign protection, the U.S. president Donald Trump, as his wont, resorted to threats and theatrics, while shamelessly praising the "Coalition of Criminals” he is trying to build around the Strait of Hormuz to further destabilize southwest Asia.

While impeaching proceedings gather strength against him in the Senate, Trump the terrorist, blurted out untruths by labelling all sorts of accusations at the Islamic Republic of Iran, raving at China’s growing international economic clout, ranting at Venezuela’s refusal to bow to his dictates, blowing his own punctured trumpet which sounded irritating to listeners, and mocking at climatic changes threatening the world’s ecology, mainly because of U.S. lawlessness.

He was joined in his lies by his pal from London, Premier Boris Johnson, who in a bid to conceal the war crimes of his country in comradery with the U.S. through supply of lethal weapons to Saudi Arabia for slaughtering the people of Yemen, alleged that the recent drone attacks that destroyed ARAMCO were not from the forces that carried out (the Ansarallah), but from Iran.

Poor guy, he was oblivious of the proceedings back home by the Supreme Court in calling his cancellation of the British parliament as null and void.

For his part, Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, whose policies are burning the Amazon Forest, which is considered the lungs of Planet Earth, shocked scientists and environmentalists by refusing to consider the Amazon as heritage of humankind.

Jokers representing dictatorial and reactionary regimes, and, of course, the illegal Zionist entity, will be vying with each other in the coming days to ridicule humanitarian values by defending their paranoid policies of treason and deceit, at the U.N. podium.  

It is obvious that with such unprincipled persons leading their countries into the quagmire of chaos, nothing concrete will come out of the U.N. General Assembly meetings.

No crisis in any part of the world will ever be resolved, and humanity will continue its slide into misery all over the globe, with no end in sight for the plight of the people of Palestine, of Myanmar, of Ukraine, of Kashmir, of Bahrain, of Syria, and last but the not least, of Yemen, whose legitimate defenders have no other choice but to carry out retaliatory attacks deep inside Saudi Arabia, more devastating than the September 14 destruction of Abqaiq.

In view of these facts, the only solution for the peace of mankind and salvation of the environment could be, not just the impeachment of Trump, but complete regime change in the U.S. in Britain, in many parts of Europe, as well as in the Arab World, Latin America and Asia.
