Even as they were honouring him, Canadian officials bestowing the Order of Canada on former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali were admitting it was "strange".
Held as the nation’s top honour, the Order of Canada awarded to the former UN Secretary-General makes him only the ninth foreigner so lauded.
In receiving the award, Bill Clinton’s boy Boutros-Ghali is among the distinguished company of Vaclav Havel, Nelson Mandela and the late Queen Mother, whose award was made public one day before her 100th birthday.
Like his handpicked successor Kofi annan, Boutros-Ghali in his five-year tenure often crossed swords with the United States.
Using the U.S. veto, Clinton blocked the appointment of Boutros-Ghali for a second term as UN Secretary-General. In choosing career bureaucrat annan, he was to change the course of history. On his appointment, annan unfurled a comprehensive plan calling for major UN reform, preparing for 21st century World Governance. as quickly as you could say "abra Cadabra", annan brought in Canadian, New age, global socialist Maurice Strong to implement the UN’s re-organization blueprint.
and the rest as they say is history, including Strong’s going on to become the shadowy architect of the Kyoto protocol.
a Canadian official allowed that it was "strange" that the Egyptian-born Boutros-Ghali was awarded the prestigious Canadian honour in light of his controversial leadership during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
But annan, in charge of peacekeeping on Boutros-Ghali’s watch capped the Nobel Peace Prize, even though he had turned a deaf ear to former Canadian General Romeo Dallaire calling from the genocide battlefield.
Strange goes to weird when one peeks into Boutros-Ghali’s career at the UN.
Like many of the UN secretary-generals who came before him, Boutros-Ghali has a love affair with the occult.
at least, unlike Javier de Cuellar, the Secretary-General immediately before him, Boutros-Ghali did not claim to have been whisked off by aliens on Nov. 30, 1989.
When closely checked about the veracity of this event, de Cuellar has been downright dodgy, but in response to an enquiry about the abduction from the Prince of Liechtenstein, he did not deny it happened.
(Liechtenstein’s blueblood, incidentally comes not from palaces or the manor born, but from the privilege of being a world authority on UFO’s.)
Remember UN Secretary-General U Thant?
He was a mystic too.
Then there’s Dag Hammarskjold who in describing the UN Meditation room wrote that its centerpiece lodestone is "dedicated to God whom man worships under many names and in many forms."
al Gore’s Gaia, of course, being the main one.
and that’s not even getting into the well-known 'spookdom' of New ager, special UN advisor Maurice Strong. Working with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, Strong has admitted that his UN Earth Charter is a replacement for the Ten Commandments. His wife, Hanna runs a 200,000-acre New age Spiritual ranch in Crestone, Colorado.
In her recent autobiography, former U.S. secretary of state Madeleine albright criticizes Boutros-Ghali for being "hyper status-conscious" and for seeming to believe that "administrative tasks were beneath him"
about the strangeness of his latest award, are the words of Canadian Gerald Caplan, on the public record for criticism of the UN’s role in Rwanda.
"It does make you wonder," Caplan told the Globe and Mail. "I’m a temperate fellow; let’s just agree that it is a surprising thing."
It’s more than passing strange that Canada gave its top honour to a world leader responsible, at least in part, for genocide. It’s weird.
