Red-diaper baby to lead U.N.?

If National Socialist (Nazi) propagandist Josef Goebbels' daughter were running to lead a major international organization, it would presumably be major news worldwide.

Bulgarians often invoke the Goebbels comparison when discussing Georgi Bokov, the late chief propagandist for the murderous regime that officially enslaved their homeland until about 25 years ago. It is an appropriate metaphor in many ways.

And his daughter is now running to lead the United Nations.

But most of the media, for whatever reason, have not yet picked up the real story.

Now, if the daughter had denounced the murderous propaganda and tyranny of her father, it would be one thing. The regime he served and helped guide, after all, murdered hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians. It was the epitome of tyranny and oppression. It was officially criminal. No decent human being could say otherwise.

Yet she has done no such thing. In fact, she served in the regime herself, in high-ranking, senior positions, as a proud member of the ruling Bulgarian Communist Party. She has never apologized for it.

Even when the victims of the regime she served cry out for justice, she ignores their pleas and has her PR minions demonize them as part of some imaginary conspiracy to derail her ambitions.

As the race to replace outgoing United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon heats up, the U.N. and its leading member governments are showing their true colors again. And they aren't pretty.

More than a few member governments, including some permanent members of the Security Council, are plotting right now to install the communist daughter of Bulgaria's Goebbels – a daughter who also passionately served the mass-murdering Bulgarian regime.

Her name is Irina Bokova. Currently, she serves as the chief of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO.

In that position, which she secured with support from Obama, she has already inflicted tremendous damage on the world.

Among other travesties, she has been working fiendishly to promote globalized indoctrination, including so-called "Education for Sustainable Development" and "Global Citizenship Education."

I first discovered Bokova while Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld and I were researching UNESCO for our book "Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children."

Dr. Blumenfeld and I dedicated a good amount of space to exposing her and the radical U.N. agency she leads, for those interested in the potential future of global education if Bokova and her ilk get their way.

In essence, UNESCO is working to transform and standardize education around the world – and not for the better.

Indeed, Bokova openly brags at U.N. summits and in official press releases that the U.N. is working to transform your child's "values" through "education" in order "to shape the future as responsible global citizens."

In recent weeks, with the release of a new report demanding climate-change propaganda in schools worldwide, Bokova again claimed education must serve to indoctrinate children with "the right types of values" – and by that, she does not mean American or Christian values, you can be sure.

In fact, she is quite open about that, regularly boasting of her efforts to implant "humanism" in the minds of your children.

Under her leadership, UNESCO also accepted the "State of Palestine" as a member state, thereby triggering an immediate ban on U.S. funding for the powerful U.N. agency.

With any luck, if she wins the race to become the next U.N. boss, Americans can hope for more of the same.

Going back in history, pre-globalism, Bokova was a proud Communist. First, she joined the youth wing of the Bulgarian Communist Party, which her father helped lead. (The party has since re-branded itself the "Bulgarian Socialist Party," but it remains dominated by the same cutthroats.)

Bokova was the quintessential red-diaper baby: a child of the Communist elite in a nation enslaved by Communism. And the status brought many benefits, as Bokova discovered.

Her father, again, was basically the Goebbels of Communist Bulgaria, only instead of Germany's murderous national socialism, he was the chief propagandist and apologist for Bulgaria's murderous international socialism.

The most reliable estimates suggest the regime murdered some 222,000 people. (Bulgaria has about 7 million today.) Many more, including Christians and dissidents, were ruthlessly persecuted, terrorized and tortured in the regime's labor camps.

For Bokova and her family, though, life was good. Bokova even received the "honor" of studying at the KGB-controlled Moscow State Institute of International Relations, a training ground for elite future "diplomats" of the international communist movement.

While governments, dictatorships and leading members of the Western establishment celebrate her candidacy, former political prisoners of the savage "People's Republic of Bulgaria" are speaking out. Countless victims of the brutality and horror have denounced the "shame" of her candidacy.

Since those days, while never apologizing for the savage communist apparatus that spawned her and that she served so faithfully, she has re-invented herself publicly as a liberal, multicultural globalist.

But the break with the past is an illusion. In fact, her campaign team for the U.N. job is literally dominated by former spies and agents of the "little KGB" – the infamously ruthless Communist "state security" machine that terrorized Bulgarians into submission for generations.

She is even married to a "former" agent.

The corruption scandals surrounding Bokova continue to grow, too.

Among other concerns, investigators with Bulgarian watchdog Bivol have highlighted the fact that she owns luxury properties in New York, London, Paris and beyond – with no obvious means of paying the millions of dollars required.

Her tenure at the head of UNESCO has also been marked by scandal and corruption, including handing out taxpayer-funded prizes, titles and benefits to people who might be able to help her become the next U.N. chief.

And yet, large swaths of the global elite around the world continue to support her candidacy.

If there is any silver lining to it all, it is that, if and when Bokova takes over the U.N., it will no longer be possible to conceal the true character of this infamous "dictators club."

If there is any decency or common sense left in Congress, lawmakers will be forced to act.
