The trailer for the new movie Suffragette has been released. While it will not be arriving in American movie theaters for quite a few months, I have a feeling that this movie will inspire a whole new generation of women to right for their rights.

It’s Genocide, Stupid
The definition of genocide is as follows:
the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
Ban Ki-Moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations has declared that that Armenian genocide 100 years ago was not a genocide. He labels it an “atrocity”.
This is just another example of why the UN has become more and more irrelevant.
If a particular ethic group or culture is singled out for murder simply because of who they are or what they believe, that is genocide. Plain and simple.
By denying or downgrading the facts, the UN is going against the very reason it was created. In it’s charter, the following is stated:
To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
Today, as many of you may know or not know, is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I stand with my Armenian brothers and sisters, who 100 years ago, faced the same fate that my own family faced 70 years ago.
Perhaps it’s time to clean house at the UN, or better yet, dismantle an organization that has become nothing more than a mouth piece for despots and murderers.
