Kathryn Bolkovac Gives One More Reason To End The U.N. ==  Kathryn Bolkovac was a policewoman from Nebraska who became part of the United Nations peacekeeping contingent in Sarajevo in 1999.

She found that some of her fellow peacekeepers — including fellow workers of the U.S. military contractor DynCorp — were enslaving young girls and sexual abusing them; keeping them docile by withholding food and with periodic torture.

She blew the whistle. The slavers went to their friends in the U.N. bureaucracy and obtained protection.

It soon became clear that much of the U.N. bureaucracy was using girls for slave labor — and sex — as well.

Ms. Bolkovac was threatened and lost her job. She wrote a book about it which became the film, The Whistleblower, which was released last year.

Has anything changed at the U.N.? No, according to this recent article on PajamasMedia.Com by former U.N. worker Phyllis Chesler.

Maybe passing HR 2829 which is called  United Nations Transparency, Accountability and Reform Act of 2011 and is co-sponsored by much of Pennsylvania’s Republican contingent, however, might what it takes to bring the needed change about.

Ugly Rich Is John Kerry — John Kerry can trace his roots to John Winthrop and has a net worth of $239 million. His wife, Teresa, is worth a cool billion which she inherited from her first husband, H. John Heinz 3rd.

Pajamas Media notes that they did not pay a penny in taxes on the $4.8 million they earned last year from investments in municipal bonds.

Kerry, of course, is the progressive-leftist Democrat senator from Massachusetts who was the Democrat candidate for president in 2004 and was the darling of progressive leftists everywhere.

Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House until she skillfully lost the post to the Republicans last year. She is worth $58 million. She and her husband, John, own beaucoup real estate in the San Francisco Bay area and a vineyard in Saint Helena. She too is a progressive leftist.

John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, a Democrat senator from West Virginia, is worth $200 million. He is the great grandson of robber baron John D. Rockefeller. He is a progressive leftist.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who have each held the title “richest man in the world”, are progressive leftists and give to progressive leftists causes.

Hey all you progressive-leftist, let’s-look-out-for-the-little-guy types out there: did it ever occur to you that you are getting rolled?

Oh, and Barack Obama? His net worth is estimated at $10.1 million. Pretty good for a guy whose non-political career was that of a community organizer.

Warren Buffett Just Pay Your Taxes — Billionaire investor and Obama supporter Warren Buffett says our tax rate is too low and rich people should pay more in taxes.

Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate controlled by Buffett, is fighting the IRS which claims the conglomerate owes what could be up to $1 billion more in taxes than what it has paid.

So Mr. Buffett, why not, you know, just stop fighting and give the government the money it wants?

Use the short form, man.

Pay all the tax you can.

Or, better yet, keep fighting and stop being such a sanctimonious phoney.
