Chile’s far-left President Gabriel Boric just threw his weight behind Michelle Bachelet, the socialist ex-president and former UN Human Rights Chief, in her bid to become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. Backed by fellow leftist regimes in Brazil and Mexico, this move reeks of a power grab by globalist elites who’ve already shown their colors on human rights—or lack thereof. Bachelet, remember, was the one who downplayed China’s industrial-scale Uyghur genocide, dismissing mountains of evidence from satellite imagery, survivor testimonies, and leaked CCP documents as mere allegations while parroting Beijing’s line during her 2022 Xinjiang visit. Her report? A whitewash that equated Western criticism with anti-Chinese racism, earning her praise from the very regime detaining over a million Muslims in re-education camps.
For the 2A community, this isn’t some distant UN sideshow—it’s a flashing red warning light. Bachelet’s track record screams authoritarian sympathy: as Chile’s president, she pushed draconian gun control measures post-2019 riots, including a near-total assault weapons ban and mandatory registries that funneled law-abiding citizens’ firearms straight into government databases. Imagine that mindset steering the UN’s agenda, amplifying calls for global small arms treaties like the Programme of Action, which already pressures nations to confiscate civilian firearms under the guise of peacekeeping. With backers like Brazil’s Lula and Mexico’s Sheinbaum—both cheerleaders for disarming their populaces amid cartel chaos—this bloc could turbocharge efforts to paint self-defense rights as Western extremism, much like they excuse actual genocides. It’s the same playbook: control the narrative, disarm the dissenters.
The implications hit home hard for American gun owners. A Bachelet-led UN would weaponize human rights rhetoric against the Second Amendment, framing AR-15s as tools of domestic terrorism while ignoring real tyrants like the CCP or Iran’s mullahs. We’ve seen it before—UN rapporteurs citing U.S. mass shootings to lobby for treaty expansions that erode sovereignty. 2A patriots need to rally now: contact your reps, amplify this on X, and support orgs like the NRA and GOA pushing back against UN overreach. If she wins, expect a flood of global norms aimed at your safe—because for socialists like Bachelet, the only genocide they fear is one of armed free men. Stay vigilant; our rights depend on it.
