UN – A Disastrous Waste of Time & Money

11/9/2012

Our present administration not only strongly backs the United Nations, but it actually wants to turn our rights as a free nation over to the control of the UN.  Please watch a documentary on the UN called UNMe.  You can find this movie on unmemovie.com.  This movie by Ami Horowitz shows the corruption and total incompetence of the UN.

April 20, 2009 the keynote speaker for the UN Anti-Racism conference (only the 2nd of its kind in 60 years of the UN) was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran.  This is a man whose government discriminates against women, hangs gay people, and calls the holocaust a myth.  Ahmadinejad supports NO values consistent with defending human rights. 

The UN was created after WWII to ensure global security and protect human rights.  The UN is not upholding the principles for which it was created.  “Americans are currently charged with paying 22 percent of the regular budget and more than 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget, although they are often disappointed by the U.N.’s inability to live up to its mission. The body’s inaction regarding Syria is but the latest example.”

Ken King, a peacekeeper at the UN during the cold war is quoted in the movie:  “There is no discipline and no accountability—they are paid to do nothing.  They put terrible people in who were raping young girls.  The peacekeepers are at the beaches and brothels with UN cars.  They are preying on the very people they are supposed to be helping.”

UN surprise inspection of suspected atomic bomb production sites is a joke.  It was all about process and never results.  They have a huge budget and are completely ineffective.  Iran had a huge 40-mega. Heavy water reactor—a reactor of this size cannot be used for energy; one this size is for weapons.  There were photos of Iran’s site but the UN did not inspect it until 1 ½ years later and by then it was completely removed, the topsoil was taken out and new topsoil was put in.  Process is a way of avoiding a problem and kicking it down the road.  UN keeps the process going while Iran continues to enrich uranium to make bombs.

After 9/11/2001, the UN passed Resolution 1373 which was to stop travel and safe haven of terrorists.  What does the counter-terrorism unit use?  Reports from countries that don’t comply—they travel to those countries and stay about a week.  They don’t go to the real terrorist countries; they go to safe countries like Thailand.  The UN will not name sponsors of terror.  Syria was elected to sit on the UN Security Council less than 1 month after 9/11.  Syria arms terrorists.  Despite its deep connections to terrorism, they were elected to the president’s council of the UN Security Council. 

UN Corruption:  “Fraud and mismanagement remain troublingly common. The organization’s oversight mechanisms remain inadequate, as a recent report by the U.N.’s own Joint Inspection Unit explains.  Its efforts to address global problems such as terrorism, human trafficking, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction have been weak, ineffectual, or counterproductive. Indeed, the U.N. cannot even agree on a definition of terrorism.”  When Saddam Hussein was in power, he just made pay offs to the UN officials.  The biggest scam in the history of human aid was the oil for food scam negotiated by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the UN Secretary General.  This scam gave Saddam free reign and the bribes were documented.

Peacekeepers do nothing:  Between April and July in 1994 nearly 1 million men, women, and children were exterminated in Rwanda.  The UN had a peacekeeping mission in Rwanda before the genocide began.  The UN had the names of who was going to be exterminated.  An informer came forward from the militia.  At a UN school 2500 Tutsi were behind the school gates.  The UN was told to evacuate and leave the Tutsis behind.  Within minutes of their leaving, the Hutu entered the school with machetes, knives, and spears and began the massacre.  Boutros Boutros-Ghali sold weapons to Rwanda.  The UN knew the money was going to buy weapons but they kept sending them money.  Rwanda was sitting on the Security Council and said it was a civil war but in fact it was genocide and the UN allowed it!

Where was the UN human rights body?  They are supposed to be the first line of defense. 

In 2003 Sudan slaughtered hundreds of thousands of its citizens in the Darfur region.  Their report said there was no rape, no genocide.  When Ami asked what was the root cause of the unrest in Sudan, the UN ambassador said, “climate change.”

In April 2010 Iran was elected to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, the organization’s agency for protecting the rights of women around the world. 

The UN Charter at the Washington archives states:  “preventing war, maintaining peace, assuring human rights.”  However, the work of the UN shows none of this.  There are no consequences but the founders call for expulsion of any member who violates any of the principles. 

·        The UN still has no definition for terrorism. 

·        Iran is still a member in good standing!

·        There have been more than 1,000 cases of sexual abuse & rape by UN peacekeepers

·        In 2010 the United States spent nearly $8 billion on the UN and its programs

·        That was a 21% increase over 2009

We must demand that the United States either require accountability and true defense of its principles or we must withdraw from this joke of an organization.

Election to Change America

11/3/2012

We are nearing the end and will soon know the direction our country will take.  If the Romney/Ryan ticket wins, we will be on the way to recovery and will have a chance to break out of the monumental debt and ballooning central government that Obama and his administration have instituted.  If (please, God forbid) Obama/Biden remain in the White House, our country will soon bear no resemblance to the America we have known growing up.  A reminder of some of Obama’s disasters over the past 4 years:

·        Increased national debt by $5 trillion; all the presidents, from the beginning of our country up to Obama, accumulated $10 trillion

·        Spent on US welfare last year over $1 trillion; enough to send every poor household in the US a check for $60,000

·        First credit downgrade in US history

·        Home values down 33%

·        High unemployment throughout his term

·        4,257 “job killing” regulations

·        Green energy loans to cronies, many of those companies went bankrupt and others are outsourced to foreign countries

·        Healthcare (Obamacare) a total disaster, most of which is still to come; main financial impact was planned to come AFTER the election

·        Mishandled what were once strong US allies (Israel, Poland, England, Mexico and others)

·        Disastrous consequences to his Middle Eastern policies—in an effort to appear friendly to Islam, Obama instituted a policy of appeasement and apology which only made America appear weak and encouraged terrorism.  Investigation of the USS Cole terrorism attack in Oct., 2000 showed evidence that it may have been carried out by Islamic militants with possible connections to the terrorist network led by Osama bin Laden.  When no action was taken after the Cole terrorism attack, it allowed al Qaeda to be more emboldened and they carried out the September 2001 attack on America.  This current administration first lied about the Benghazi terrorist attack, tried to cover it up, and now has put the investigation on hold until after the election.  Obama has put Americans at home and around the world in a very dangerous position and he still continues to ignore and side step any questions on his handling of Benghazi.

·        The “Fast and Furious” disaster has also been put on hold until after the election because Obama and Holder do not want the truth to come to the attention of our country before the vote.  Holder ignored requests from Congress to send documents on this operation until Congress filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Eric Holder.  Obama administration officials and the Department of Justice openly defied requests for these documents.  Then Obama claimed executive privilege to justify the stonewalling.  Obama’s decision “was a calculated political maneuver designed to stop the release of documents until after the November election.”  The complaint, filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, says that “No Court has ever held that ‘Executive privilege’ extends anywhere near as far as the Attorney General here contends that it does.”  “Holder’s conception of the reach of ‘Executive privilege,’ were it to be accepted, would cripple congressional oversight of Executive branch agencies, to the very great detriment of the Nation and our constitutional structure.”  Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas said:  “If we can’t get the documents we need from the agencies that we create and fund, I think our Republic is in grave danger.”  In October, 2012 Holder tried to get lawsuit dismissed.

On Sept. 12, 2012 another lie from Obama, trying to blame President Bush again:  “I think it’s important for us to understand that the Fast and Furious program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration,” the president said. “When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned an inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable.”  ABC News reports:  “In actuality, the Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency.”

We have all been told of at least one American killed by the Fast & Furious program but many do not realize that hundreds have been killed by these guns in Mexico.

William McMahon, the BATFE’s assistant deputy director for field operations approved the deadly “Fast & Furious” operation, is being allowed to receive his six-figure federal paycheck (your tax money) for nearly half a year while working full-time as investment bank J. P. Morgan’s executive director for global security and investments in the Philippines.

“Thirty years ago, the cover-up of a two-bit burglary of a hotel room was enough to force a U.S. president to resign and many involved went to jail.  In the current administration, though, sins of an incomparably greater magnitude have been rewarded time and again.”  And people died in two of Obama’s disasters (that we know of):  Fast & Furious and Benghazi.  How many others have been covered up?

    After being brainwashed in college (especially during my Columbia University years), I went out into the real world and discovered the truth.  Over the years I have seen the way liberals ridicule and distort how conservatives & defenders of our Constitution view important issues in our country and the world.  I'm writing this blog to help present the truth on political issues.
