[Editor’s note: On April 7, police arrived at Dalglish’s home in Nepal and took him away at gunpoint. Two boys − one 12, another 14 − were in the house, and police say they found photos inside the home of naked children. His lawyer said the photographs are of the sort a tourist might take of unclothed impoverished children. He is currently being held in a Nepalese jail.

Peter Dalglish, a Canadian former high-level United Nations (UN) official, has been arrested in Nepal on child sex trafficking charges. Humanitarians are expressing shock as news spreads about this “hero”. Dalglish is a well-heeled white man with a Western passport. His career, awards and pattern of behavior all fit the profile of men who sexually abuse and exploit vulnerable children.
Pedophiles typically clad themselves in prizes and prestige. This is their armor. Dalglish sought out, and received, as many honors as he could muster including The Order of Canada. His titles indicate “this man is untouchable and protected.” He rubs shoulders with prime ministers. He has formidable friends in the UN. Think twice before speaking out against him. Intimidation is what Dalglish’s extensive accolades convey — not merit.
At many schools Dalglish made a speech describing himself as a self-sacrificing humanitarian who abandoned a lucrative career to help children in the developing world. He states that he gave up luxury cars and a ski chalet to help children in disaster zones. The reality is, he sacrificed nothing. Dalglish’s net worth is estimated at $7–16 million. He can afford extravagant cars and ski chalets.
Why did Dalglish repeat this lie at schools? This is called grooming. Dalglish was grooming school administrators. He was grooming parents. He was grooming targeted communities to gain access to their children. This is what pedophiles do, how they create a supply-line of children to abuse. Many, it seems, swallowed the lies and bestowed on him the title of hero.
If Dalglish is the typical pedophile he appears to be, he would have been networked with other pedophiles. The tributes, honorary degrees, and amply paid UN positions would have been given to him by men like him. Doing the same thing.
Pedophiles tip each other off on where to locate vulnerable children and teach each other how to ensure impunity for their crimes. Pedophiles also help each other obtain authoritative professional positions, titles and awards.
What does Peter Dalglish’s arrest mean for #AidToo? Humanitarians should educate ourselves on how pedophiles operate. Software, like NetClean, should be installed to monitor and report criminal activity to appropriate law enforcement. If agencies where Dalglish worked, UN Habitat and the World Health Organization, had such systems in place, Dalglish may have been caught years ago.
The men and women we should all be celebrating are those in Nepal’s Central Investigation Bureau, who were courageous enough to investigate and arrest a highly-placed pedophile who spent a life-time building a fortress against just such an arrest. Bravo to Nepal’s CIB. More power to you.

UPDATE: Mary W Maxwell adds:
On May 2, 2018 Canada’s GlobeandMail.com reported that Upper Canada College, where Peter Dalglish was on the faculty from 1998 to 2002, has asked its alumni to advise if they know of sexual misbehavior by him while at the school:
“Mr. Dalglish is a humanitarian worker who co-founded Street Kids International and has worked in trouble spots across the globe, from Central America to Afghanistan and Africa. In 2016 he was named to the Order of Canada for having devoted his life to helping children escape poverty. He attended Stanford University and Dalhousie Law School. In recent years, Dalglish worked for UN-Habitat in Afghanistan and then in Liberia in response to the Ebola crisis.” [This all should give pause…]
The article also notes: The “Chancellery of Honours is staying informed on the Peter Dalglish matter and will bring it to the attention of the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada, spokeswoman Josephine Laframboise said. [“There are] clear parameters for termination of an individual’s appointment” she said.
If he is proven to be guilty, as the photographs suggest, throw him to the wolves. I wonder what the sentence in Nepal is for such offences. The death sentence, may be?
“Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion within Thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in Thee,
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day
We ever stand on guard.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”
Luckily someone in Canada’s Advisory Council is standing on guard.
We too can write to the Governor-General requesting the removal of “The Order of Australia” re anyone deemed suitable for such removal.
PS. I’m really sorry to be always such a spoilsport.
(I can’t help it.)
“His lawyer said the photographs are of the sort a tourist might take of unclothed impoverished children.”
Well, yes that’s the whole point.
I wonder if this person is one of those on the run from Kevin Annets’ sheriffs avoiding an earlier arrest? He is Canadian.
Mal, so far there is only one comment to the story in the Kathmandu Times. It says: “Peter Dalglish, Trudeau’s best friend is in big %^&t.”
Justin’s buddy? I hope they give Peter immunity from prosecution in exchange for the full scoop on Justin et al. His Dad, Pierre, was biggie bigtime.
And with Fiona Barnett having survived (yes!), maybe every name is going to come washing out.
Hey Fiona, welcome back. Thought you had up and died.
See pedophilesdownunder.com where Fiona says her troubles stem from the fact that she is writing a book about CIA involvement in child trafficking IN AUSTRALIA.

Founded in 1993, children’s charity – “War Kids” – gets singer’s backing and increased prominence. Of course nothing adverse imputed of in the light of other recent cases but confusion over address that needs clarifying. http://veaterecosan.blogspot.co.uk/2018/05/war-children-charity-for-children.html
Edit above: “Of course nothing adverse imputed (delete ‘of’) in the light of other recent cases but confusion over address that needs clarifying.
Not my morning! Edit: “confusion over address (delete ‘that’) needs clarifying. APOLOGIES.
Jeepers, Timothy. It is wearying to read about all those highly globalized “trustees” at Warchild. Here is July Weston:
“Julie has worked with UNHCR, WaterAid and Oxfam Hong Kong, and been a consultant to Amnesty International, Greenpeace, the International Rescue Committee and Save the Children. Julie served on the Advisory Board of the International Fundraising Congress and is currently a strategic adviser to the International Fundraising Leadership Forum, with members from the 20 leading fundraising organisations in the world.”
Timothy, at the end of your item it says someone went to look for Warchild and there was no sign of it at the address given.
I also note that when we go to Amazon’s website now we get a pop up box asking if we’d like to donate for charity. My first thought was that they want to list people who will always give if asked.
They also do that to you at supermarket checkouts in US but it’s specific, as in “Would you like to give a dollar for the hurricane in Bermuda”. So you feel like a piker if you say No.
I suggest you give $5 to Warchild and then you have a basis for asking for an investigation, maybe by Inland Revenue….
Given the nature of the U. N. these allegations are hardly surprising.
War-ravaged communities can only be rebuilt from within. So why do propaganda bastions such as the ABC and SBS insist on singling out children as though they’re a separate species ?
Come to mention it, why is the “news” invariably padded out with soppy stories about kittens being rescued from drains?
This story reminds me of the paedophile victim who, as an angry adult, killed four of his tormentors in Woolongong; as I recall, a judge and a mayor, among others.
I have long suspected the judiciary of protecting their own; so many paedophiles get released back into the community, despite the reality they cannot be cured or rehabilitated.
Tony, when I arrived at a Royal Commission hearing, uninvited, a “case worker” came over and sat near me, protectively, as she must have assumed I was a victim. (I was but a Gumshoe stickybeak.)
However there was a known victim there and he had case workers sitting on both sides of him. I was told afterword it was to prevent him throttling his tormentor who was called to the stand.
I guess throttling would have been pretty appropriate….
Oops, pardon me, the man in the stand was not his direct abuser, rather only an administrator who helped keep the abuser in business.
Now that I think of it, no one mentioned the crime of aiding and abetting but that may have fit many of the persons such as bishops and navy commanders who “kept the abusers in business.” They all said “I don’t recall”. or “I was unaware of it.”
Tony, maybe this is the triple murder you refer to?

Humanitarians and philanthropists . Respected members of our society that have brought us down to our knees . These perverted bastards are destroying the middle way and everything that has been created . Freemasonry and kabala are our oppressors .
French historian Marion Sigaut is a specialist in 18th century history and she’s pretty much a defender of the old regime, no friend of Voltaire, Pompadour and family, masons etc. Yet she names attempted assassin of Louis XV, Damiens, as her hero. After lots of hard research she’s concluded that Damiens, who knew he would die horribly, was the father of a missing girl at the time of the mass abductions (when certain police were rounding up children to populate Louisiana while the people and civilian militias opposed them in riots).
Get this. Damiens had a lot of inside knowledge of the royal household and was likely to have known of Pompadour providing Louis XV with young girls in order to cement her power and that of her new-money family and the freemason gang. He was less likely to have understood the real reasons for the mass abductions and the two types of child abuse may have merged in his mind.
At any rate, testimony has been tampered with and the usual explanations given against the assassin’s character (angry loner with criminal record etc) have been given out over time. “Vengeful father” doesn’t get a mention, even now. Also worth noting is that Damiens used a small pen-knife on the king, hardly hurt him, and made no attempt to escape. His grisly death is now the main source of his fame.
Interesting, eh?
