News Flash - UN top brass have begun to realize that the American public is
growing tired of the non-stop scandals oozing like putrid swamp-fill from
the world body. Appearing on Fox News Sunday this past weekend, UN chief of
staff Mark Malloch Brown was forced to admit, "In a very real way, we seem
to have lost touch with the great middle in America."

But Mr. Brown is actually quite fortunate.

Because if Middle Americans knew how radical feminists are working
tirelessly behind the scenes to spread their socialistic views of gender
equality, he would be facing a public relations problem of tsunamic
proportions.

The Gender Warriors now operate with impunity from three base camps within
the UN bureaucracy:

1. Commission on the Status of Women - This committee orchestrated the 1995
Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The CSW organized the 10-year
progress review of Beijing that concluded this past Friday in New York City
[www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/csw].

2. Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) -
Originally adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979, this Trojan Horse
treaty now has 179 signatory nations
[www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/cedaw/index.html].

3. Inter-agency Network on Women and Gender Equality - This is the group
that rides herd on the countless UN agencies and initiatives designed to
promote women's issues [www.un.org/womenwatch].

Gender feminists are now working to expand their agenda to encompass the
full range of specialized UN agencies. For an eye-opening look at the
bullying tactics they use, pick up a copy of Dale O'Leary's book, The Gender
Agenda.

This is just a partial list of the UN organizations that now specialize in
gender issues:

-- UNIFEM, the UN Development Fund for Women: Serves as the bully pulpit for
director Noeleen Heyzer, whose high-voltage rhetoric makes Gloria Steinem
sound like a bow-tie conservative.

-- UNICEF: Headed by arch-feminist Carol Bellamy, who succeeded in proving
you can make a renowned organization go bad in just a few short years
[www.c-fam.org/pdfs/unicef.pdf]

-- UN Population Fund: Aims to control population growth through the
shameless huckstering of abortion services and forced sterilizations on
women and teenage girls.

-- UNAIDS: Shows what happens when Leftist ideology is substituted for sound
science in the fight to stop AIDS
[www.washtimes.com/commentary/20041205-123305-3151r.htm].

-- World Health Organization: Thanks to former feminist director Gro Harlem
Brundtland, gives top billing to women's health, even though men suffer from
shorter lifespans [www.renewamerica.us/analyses/050312roberts.htm].

Still, the Sisterhood seeks to maximize its body count. Watch for these
upcoming search-and-destroy missions in the coming months:

First the femmes want to gender mainstream the rest of the UN. In case you
hadn't heard, gender mainstreaming is "the process of assessing the
implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation,
policies, or programs, in all areas and at all levels." Note the
all-encompassing phrases, "any planned action" and "in all
areas and at all
levels."

Second, in order to focus its efforts, the UN has established what it calls
Millenium Development Goals [www.un.org/millenniumgoals/]. Out of the eight
Goals, two are specific to women:

-- Promote gender equality and empower women

-- Improve maternal health

Now the feminists want to "mainstream" the gender perspective to the six
remaining Development Goals. That may happen as early as this coming
September at the MDG Summit.

Third, the rad-fems have designs on the International Criminal Court. The
ICC now claims jurisdiction over a long list of so-called "crimes against
humanity," including forced pregnancy and sexual violence.

"Forced pregnancy" is fem-speak for not providing free abortion services,
and no one has yet to define "sexual violence." But once they fortify their
power base, the Women's Initiatives for Gender Justice no doubt will tell us
what they have in mind [www.iccwomen.org].

In the past, totalitarianism was enforced by the GULAG, goon squads, and
economic reprisals. That was "hard" totalitarianism.

Now we face a new threat, what Italian politician Rocco Buttiglione likes to
call "soft totalitarianism." Buttiglione sees this trend unfolding at the
European Union, which regulates the smallest details of life down to the
permissible curve of bananas.

Soft totalitarianism has a kinder, gentler face. It pretends to advance the
cause of equality. It claims to be working for a gender utopia.

But in practice, soft totalitarianism relies on government-sponsored bribery
(known as the welfare state), top-down imposition of laws, rampant
distortions of fact, and mass re-education
[www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2005/0309roberts.html].

The end result of both forms of totalitarianism is exactly the same -
concentration of power in the government, economic stagnation, undermining
of the family, and curtailment of individual liberties.

At the UN, the color of jackboots is lavender and pink.
