The editors of CanadaFreePress.com couldn’t possibly feel more gratified. The piffle being churned out of the largest bureaucracy in world history seems to be falling on deaf ears. 58% of the American population says that the UN is doing a bad job.
The world’s largest public relations monolith is failing. The paperwork pumped out daily from the international agency’s bottle green, glass, mid-Manhattan headquarters must have felled a goodly number of the world’s trees. But for all of its unrelenting propaganda, Joe and Josephine Average have the common sense to recognize that it takes more than a proclamation declaring Year of the Child and Year of the Woman to significantly improve the well being of either party.
The UN is straight out of a Grade B horror movie. The UN facility, with 10,000 employees, some of whom don’t bother to pay their parking tickets, now boasts a `pagan’ room and a meditation room. Incredibly, the UN even has its own in-house physic--who claims he was Thomas Jefferson in another life. (Notice how the reincarnated never lay claim to being the butler or the pantry cat)?
Some of the UN’s main players are straight out of James Bond. Dr. No and Goldfinger come to mind. Canadian Maurice Strong, senior advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and former chairman of the UN’s far-out 1992 Earth Council, is Dr. No. Strong, and his comrade Mikhail Gorbachev, are out there running their Earth Charter from place to place on a piece of gold cloth. Both men have referred to the Earth Charter as a replacement for the Ten Commandments. As far as is known, neither gentleman, both well up in years, is habitue for wacky tobaccy.
Strong, Gorbachev, and media mogul Ted Turner, who gave the UN $1-billion through Strong, are not the only strange characters circling the UN wagon. The UN’s very first secretary-general was a man later convicted as a Soviet agent--Alger Hiss.
In a 54-year infernally long history, all eight of the UN’s secretary-generals have either been dedicated utopia-seeking socialists, or capitalist-hating communists
Many of the 185 national delegates to the General Assembly are still waffling over the pacifist-backed Saddam Hussein. Waffling and fence sitting were practiced at the UN long before Baghdad captured world attention.
Former UN enthusiast, Republican Barry Goldwater, once called for U.S. withdrawal from the UN, and the re-stationing of its headquarters "to a place more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of its voting members, somewhere like Peking or Moscow."
There is a lot of frustrated talk among average citizens who are now saying, "Let’s get the U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of New York."
As NewsMax writer James Humes recently asked, "When did the UN become the supreme moral authority of the world?"
Meanwhile, in keeping with the UN’s Grade B horror movie image, we need a sheriff to tell Kofi and company to "Get out of town by sundown!"
Marshall Dillon not being available, we suggest Colin Powell.
