The Grayzone: Bad faith UN report on Nicaragua whitewashes violent US-backed coup A new, anonymously-produced UN report denouncing Nicaragua’s government whitewashes the brutal US-backed 2018 coup against it while refusing to interview victims of sadistic opposition violence. Practically the entire UN human rights system is consistently abused to supply pretexts for US economic and even military aggression against one country after another. That system depends substantially on reporting by partisan Western government and corporate funded nongovernmental organizations, abusing their nonprofit status to serve as political opposition to their respective governments, often in support of opposition violence and terrorism.
