US to cut funding for UN human rights office
« on: August 24, 2018, 02:49:31 pm »


GENEVA (AP) — President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, says the United States will cut funding for the office of the U.N. human rights chief, the administration’s latest blow against the United Nations.

Bolton announced the move against the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which would lose one of its largest donors. The United States is the U.N.’s largest single donor, providing about 22 percent of its budget.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

I'll be happy if/when this happens.  I hope it's a big cut.

That's a start.

But let's re-edit the title a little so that it more conforms to what I really think should happen:
