Biden-Harris Administration Surreptitiously Signs Up for UN World Governance, Internet Censorship.  On September 22, unnoticed by most Americans, the Biden-Harris administration adopted the United Nations Pact for the Future to transform global governance, which introduces the foundations of a world government.  There was no debate, no media coverage, no press releases, and no interviews about the Biden-Harris administration's surrender of United States sovereignty to the UN.  Americans were apparently not supposed to find out.  The UN bragged that the pact is the "most comprehensive agreement in many years" describing it as "covering entirely new areas and addressing issues where no consensus has been reached for decades."  This is concerning.  At the Summit of the Future in September 2024, world leaders passed the UN's Pact for the Future to transform global governance, the Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations.  These agreements usher in a dystopian future, where the UN — an active supporter of terrorism and arguably the world's most corrupt international entity, led by socialists, communists and dictatorships — in partnership with the unelected and unaccountable World Economic Forum, led by Klaus Schwab and his covey of billionaire business leaders, is given unprecedented power over the peoples of sovereign countries, who have had no say whatsoever on the contents of this pact, because it has been kept hidden from them.

Harris-Biden try to put the US under United Nations sovereignty.  When five different people send you a link, you know that something very important has happened, even if the drive-by media aren't trumpeting it on their outlets.  In this case, it's Robert Williams' report at the Gatestone Institute that, in September, the Harris-Biden administration, without fanfare, adopted a UN pact that gives the UN and the World Economic Forum ("WEF") control over American speech, foreign policy, and, possibly, internal sovereignty.  Thankfully, while the administration can sign someone's name on the dotted line, the Constitution means that signature is invalid.  But we're not in the clear:  That invalidity works only if we don't have a government that acts as if the UN pact applies.

The Editor says...
Evict the U.N.  Let them meet in some other country — for example, Sudan, Chad, Uruguay, Nauru.  Since delegates come from all over the world, any place on Earth is the same as another.

Every Country Except Israel Voted Against America at the UN.  The annual UN resolution disapproving of the Cuba embargo came up.  And the entire world, or nearly all of it, took a firm stand in favor of mandatory trade with a brutal Communist tyranny.  The UN General Assembly voted 187 [to] 2 in favor of its pro-Communist resolution urging the "necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba[.]"  The 2 were America and Israel.  (Moldova, for some reason, abstained.)

IDF Kills Hamas Terrorist Who Murdered Dozens in Shelter; He Was a UNRWA Employee.  The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Thursday that it had killed a Hamas commander who led the attack on dozens of civilians on October 7, 2023, who had fled the Nova music festival and hidden in roadside shelters.  In addition to being a mass murderer, the IDF said, Mohammad Abu Itiwi had also worked for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Of Course:  Sinwar's Bodyguard Was a UNRWA Teacher.  [Scroll down]  The UNRWA is, for all intents and purposes, a terrorist front.  It may be a UN organization and hence beloved by the establishment, but it harbors terrorists.  Its employees, including medical personnel and teachers, participated in the October 7th massacre, held hostages, taught children the ins and outs of terrorism, and fostered hate and violence in the region.  Sinwar's bodyguard was a UNRWA teacher, which was totally predictable.  [Tweet]  The UNRWA is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world and supports many of the most dangerous terrorists.  It needs to be shut down, its members prosecuted, and the earth on which its infrastructure stands salted.  Protecting the UNRWA is tantamount to supporting terrorists and keeping the conflict in the region going forever.

It's too late to save Britain from overheating, says UN climate chief.  Humanity has missed its chance of keeping global warming below 1.5[°]C and it will take "heroic efforts" to stay below 2[°]C this century, the scientist leading the global effort to understand climate change has warned.  Jim Skea, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said a failure to sufficiently curb carbon emissions had left the world on track to warm by 3[°]C by 2100.  This average masks variations between land and sea, with western Europe and the UK facing even greater warming — perhaps as much as 5[°]C by the end of the century.  "We are potentially headed towards 3[°]C of global warming by 2100, if we carry on with the policies we have at the moment," said Skea.  "Obviously temperature rises over land will be higher than over the ocean.  We don't know how warm it will get [over land] but I know it may be more than the global average."

The Editor says...
I just have a few questions.  [#1] How is Mr. Skea so sure of his assertions?  If he's so certain of his predictions, why does he say "we are potentially headed towards" a warmer climate?  He doesn't inspire much confidence when he admits "we don't know how warm it will get."  Those are weasel words, leaving him wiggle room when things don't work out as he predicts — although he will be long gone by then.  [#2] Who decides what is "overheating?"  Who decides what the ideal temperature should be?  Three degrees C., more than what?  [#3] How many of us will be around in 75 years?  It's somebody else's problem, if it's a problem at all.  [#4] How many other such predictions have fallen flat over the last 30 years?  [#5] What if the solutions are worse than the problem?  If the solution is to have electricity only 12 hours a day, I'd be happy to take my chances with the warm weather.  [#6] Who would notice the difference if the world-wide average temperature increased three degrees in the next couple of years?  If the same change takes place over the next 75 years, nobody will notice!  [#7] Our only option is to relocate or adapt, because the climate is gonna change, one way or another.  [#8] If it's too late already, what's the point of this article?  [#9] What if the computer models are all wrong, and carbon dioxide has no connection to global warming?  [#10] How much does it matter what England does to address this (non-)problem, if China and India couldn't care less?  [#11] Mr. Skea is a pencil-pushing bureaucrat from the U.N.  His job, like the rest of the U.N., should not exist.  The whole purpose of the U.N. is to keep everyone afraid of impending doom, perpetuate the existence of the U.N. itself, and wipe out Israel.

The UN's Pathetic Attempt to Rule the World.  The problem is that the UN's bureaucracy thinks of itself as more than a forum for international politics.  It is a large institution wanting to set a global agenda as a prototype world government.  Its word-salad theme for the new session is "Leaving no one behind: acting together for the advancement of peace, sustainable development and human dignity for present and future generations."  This airy agenda is meant to transcend the international politics and competing interests set out by national leaders in their angry speeches to the UNGA.  In a pre-UNGA meeting called The Summit for the Future, a Pact for the Future was drafted which, when adopted by the UNGA, "The result will be a world — and an international system — that is better prepared to manage the challenges we face now and in the future, for the sake of all humanity and for future generations."  Like that's going to happen!

Hamas Commander Killed in Israeli Strike Led U.N. Refugee Agency Teachers' Union.  A Hamas commander in Lebanon who was killed in an Israeli airstrike overnight was an accredited member of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the embattled agency confirmed after his death.  [Two advertisements]  Hamas's Fateh Sherif and his family were killed in an airstrike at a Palestinian refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Monday.  "Sherif was responsible for coordinating Hamas' terror activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah operatives, as well as Hamas' efforts in Lebanon to recruit operatives and acquire weapons."  While leading terrorist activities, Sherif also headed the UNRWA teachers' union in Lebanon.  Though employed by the U.N. agency, Sherif was suspended without pay in March due to allegations involving "his political activities," UNRWA told the Times of Israel in a statement.

Hamas leader in Lebanon 'worked undercover as a teacher for UN refugee agency' before he was wiped out in Israeli airstrike.  The leader of Hamas in Lebanon worked for a UN refugee agency before he was killed in an Israeli strike, it has been revealed.  Fateh Sherif Abu al-Amin died in the Al-Buss refugee camp in Lebanon's southern city of Tyre in an attack by Israel's air force yesterday.  The group said al-Amin was killed with his wife, son and daughter in what it called a 'terrorist and criminal assassination'.

Top Hamas commander killed in Lebanon was UNRWA employee placed on administrative leave.  The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said a top Hamas commander killed in Lebanon Monday was one of its employees but had been suspended since allegations of his ties to the militant group emerged in March.  Fatah Sharif's connection to Hamas appeared set to ratchet up pressure on UNRWA, already facing a $80 million funding shortfall this year.  Critics have repeatedly blasted the agency, saying it wasn't doing enough to root out Hamas militants from its ranks.

The Editor says...
That's a polite way to put it.  From where I'm sitting, UNRWA appears to be a front for Hamas, and the UN itself appears to be almost unanimously opposed to Israel.  Why doesn't the Associated Press say that?

What conspiracy theories?
It's All True.  In case you missed it, global governance was instituted on 13 September 2024, through something called the Pact for the Future.  Remember the Global Citizen Digital ID conspiracy theory?  It's in there.  Remember the WHO pandemic treaty surrendering all national sovereignty in the event of a "health emergency"?  It's in there.  Remember how the radical-right fringe wingnuts have been saying the schools are nothing but indoctrination centers?  You ain't seen nothing yet, and it's in there, too. [...] The Pact for the Future is clearly a desperate, last-ditch blueprint concocted by cowardly world leaders scrambling to patch up the bleeding cracks of a crumbling planetary control system.  The mewling "leaders" dream big here, spewing visions of a utopia by the curious alchemical date of 2045, where everyone holds hands and faces the apocalypse with climate action, peace, and sustainable development.

Secret Service Blocks Trump Rally to Protect Foreign Dictators at UN.  Not only did the Biden-Harris administration decide to admit sanctioned Iranian dictators (responsible for the murder of Americans) and other enemies from around the world to attend the UN's grand terror shindig in New York, but it conveniently served as a pretext for shutting down an outdoor Trump rally. [...] Either it's Jill Biden or it's the Iranian president.  There's always a pretext for leaving the opposition candidate without protecting or shutting down his rallies.  But here's the thing.  The Secret Service's personal protection service was tasked with protecting presidents, then assorted US government officials and presidential candidates.  It was not brought into being to protect foreign dictators who bring their own security anyway and who are here to spew hate at America and call for its destruction.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu slams UN General Assembly as 'swamp of antisemitic bile' in fiery speech.  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the United Nations General Assembly as a "swamp of antisemitic bile" during a fiery address Friday morning — as dozens of diplomats walked out in protest ahead of the speech.  Netanyahu, 74, appeared at the annual UN gathering in New York shortly before the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel and the subsequent Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.  The prime minister used his time at the podium to slam the mountain of international criticism of Israel's offensive in Gaza.

The United Nations is pointless, toothless and morally corrupt.  It's that most wonderful time of the year in New York.  I mean of course the time when the United Nations General Assembly is in session.  There really is nothing like it.  If you can't get down a couple of blocks on foot you can at least console yourself that some African despot is holed up in his 5-star hotel.  And if you can't cross town in a car then you can be safe in the knowledge that some Arab potentate is raiding the minibar in a hotel of their choice.  But at least you know that the real action is going on over on the floor of the United Nations.

The UN General Assembly votes that the Jews must leave historical Jerusalem.  If it were not for the Jews, Jerusalem would be just another ancient city buried under the sand and forgotten.  However, ever since King David's time, around 1000 B.C., the Jewish Bible has kept alive the Jewish commitment to that city, especially the area around the Western Wall, for 3,000 years.  Christianity, too, has a tie to the ancient city that cannot be erased by time, for it was there that the corporeal Jesus walked, preached, suffered, was buried, and was resurrected.  Mohammed, by contrast, was never in Jerusalem.  He just dreamed about it.  That was enough, though, for a huge majority of the UN's member states to agree that Jerusalem's old city must become a Jew-free Muslim enclave. (And of course, as Bethlehem and Nazareth show, once the Muslims take over, the Christians go, too.)

Elections Matter to U.N. Climate Negotiations.  COP 29, to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, is less than two months away, but despite the overall theme of "climate finance" having long been agreed to, normal discussions of topics and the framework language for the finance agreement has stalled.  Negotiations have gotten bogged down, in large part because the payor countries are uncertain what the United States will do if Donald Trump is reelected president.  The United Nations and most developing countries have argued over the years that the United States, as the biggest source of historical carbon dioxide emissions, should pay the most for climate reparations, mitigation, and adaptation.  It hasn't worked out that way under any administration so far, and Trump was the most recalcitrant on this point.  Trump continues to refer to climate change as a "hoax," on the grounds that China and other economic and geopolitical adversaries and competitors are using the issue as a backdoor means of diminishing the United States, harming its economy, and reducing its influence globally.

The Editor says...
China and India emit far more CO2 than the United States.  (Any discussion of the plans being made by the U.N. could stop there.)  Any assertion that the U.S. is "the biggest source of historical carbon dioxide emissions" is untrue: Volcanos produce more carbon dioxide than all the activities of man.  (If you want to talk about "historical" CO2, I would remind you that history didn't start in 1800.  Volcanos have been around for a long time.)  Moreover, some people claim that cows and termites produce more CO2 than people (and cars and trucks) do.  But no matter where the CO2 comes from, it serves as plant food, and there is no need for "climate reparations" or mitigation.

The UN is a Joke.  On Wednesday, the United Nations General Assembly showed us all, for the umpteenth time, what a sewer it is.  This time, as is often the case, it's Israel that finds itself the target of the bloated grifting bullies, I mean diplomats.  An insane resolution that in effect denies Israel its right to self defense passed overwhelmingly (124 [to] 14, with 43 abstentions).  The resolution calls on the IDF to withdraw to pre-1967 borders within 12 months, and also calls on member states not to sell arms or military equipment to Israel that would be used in Gaza, the West Bank, and east Jerusalem.  It calls for a boycott of all Israeli products produced over the pre-1967 lines.

Surviving the UN Is Exiting the UN.  [Scroll down]  And I urge you, whenever you hear the phrase UN, to think about its real meaning, which is unelected nobodies.  We realized that there was indeed a plan to cull the population and to diminish it genetically and in every other way and compress it into transit villages, take away property rights, parental rights, human rights, the right of informed consent, judicial rights, the age of consent concept, and so on.  And we decided that we had to help derail that process.  And that is the purpose of the Natural Solutions Foundation.  My husband, a brilliant strategic analyst, was murdered in the course of doing this work, so we know that we're on the right track.  Otherwise, there wouldn't be any point to that, would there?  So the point is, now, if we focus on the United Nations, we can solve the problem, the underlying problem.

The Media Silence Surrounding the UN Pact for the Future.  On Sunday, the Pact for the Future will be signed by world leaders at the Summit of the Future in New York.  The pact aims to "upgrade the multilateral system" (i.e. the UN system) and make it more adapted to "future challenges" (i.e. give it more power) with the help of technology and AI systems (which will give it "foresight capabilities").  Despite the world-changing significance of this historic Summit, reporting on the Pact has been non-existent in Swedish media.  In our leading daily papers such as Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet — not a word.  Nor from our public broadcasting company SVT.

UN votes 124-14 to strip Israel of [its] right to self-defense in Gaza, West Bank.  The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday voted 124-14 to strip Israel of the right to self-defense against Palestinian terrorism in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and east Jerusalem.  The text of the resolution was based on the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion in July that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory was illegal.  Prior to the vote, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he supported the ICJ option and would abide by the vote, which calls on the IDF to withdraw to the pre-1967 lines within 12 months.

UN Demands $308 Billion [per] Year Climate Cash from Rich Nations [to] Fund Social Benefits for the Entire World.  Even if this money was somehow mustered, it would provide no benefit whatsoever for the intended recipients.

Straightening up the UN.  Promoting the so-called 'climate crisis' is a socialist method of wealth distribution, nothing more and nothing less.  Promising rising tides that will destroy cities is a scare tactic designed to frighten populations into succumbing to the stupidity of adopting alternative energy sources that are nowhere near capable of powering our world.  It would place draconian restrictions on the U.S. but would allow other countries to continue high usage of fossil fuels in the interest of their 'catching up' to us.  Of course, we would be the ones to foot the bill rather than the majority of nations in the UN that are demanding this nonsense.

Most People Have No Idea That "The Summit Of The Future" Will Create "UN 2.0" On September 22nd And 23rd.  The UN wants much more control over global affairs, and "the Pact for the Future" which is scheduled to be adopted during "the Summit of the Future" that will be held on September 22nd and 23rd will go a long way toward making that a reality.  But even though "the Summit of the Future" is just days away, hardly anyone is talking about it and the mainstream media is almost entirely ignoring it.  Enormous decisions that could dramatically affect the future of everyone on the entire planet are about to be made, and just about the entire population has absolutely no idea what is going on.  This is exactly how the globalists like it.  They don't want the general population to even be aware of their agenda as they relentlessly push it forward.

UN chief warns 'the ocean is overflowing' as Pacific sea-level rise surpasses global average.  The United Nations chief has warned of the peril faced by islands in the Pacific Ocean, as sea levels have risen almost twice the global average in the past 30 years.  Making a speech from the island nation of Tonga, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a 'Save our Seas' plea for the world to increase support for countries endangered by the climate crisis.  "The ocean is overflowing," Guterres said.  "This is a crazy situation:  Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity's making.  "A crisis that will soon swell to an almost unimaginable scale, with no lifeboat to take us back to safety."  The Pacific Islands are being hit harder than most, suffering a triple blow of ocean heating, sea level rise and acidification.  The effects are harming ecosystems, damaging crops, contaminating fresh water sources, and destroying livelihoods.

The Editor says...
The rash pronouncements by the UN Secretary General were met with zero skepticism by the writer at itv.com, who passed along all the claims as if they were based on sound observations and established facts, which they are not.  For example, "Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity's making."  How does he know that?  How much have sea levels risen, to get him so alarmed?  Some number of millimeters?  What does he know about acidification?  How much additional acid would it take to make a measurable change in the pH of the entire Pacific ocean?  Can he prove such a thing has happened?  Why does the U.N. still exist?

Israel Exposes U.N.-UNRWA Hamas Collusion.  Since Hamas's savage attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces have been operating in Gaza to eliminate Hamas's military and governance capabilities and to attempt to free the Israeli hostages.  During this operation, a wealth of new intelligence has been gathered on Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror organizations.  Israeli forces have retrieved millions of documents of captured enemy material.  This new intelligence exposed two related issues:  First, the involvement of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) employees in the Oct. 7 massacre.  Second, the deep and systemic infiltration by terror organizations, particularly Hamas, into the ranks of UNRWA.  Overwhelming evidence show a significant number of UNRWA's Gaza employees serve in the ranks of Hamas and other terror organizations, almost 500 of them in military positions.

Top Study Confirms UN's 'Climate Crisis' Claims Are a Hoax.  A top study has confirmed that fearmongering claims made by the United Nations (UN) to support the "climate crisis" narrative are a hoax, directly contradicted by data.  Despite claims from the UN and other unelected globalists, the study has found that alleged "climate disasters" are not increasing.  In fact, eminent Italian researchers Gianluca Alimonti and Luigi Mariani found that the environment has been significantly improving in recent years, with climate-related events decreasing.  However, the researchers found that, while "climate disasters" have been decreasing, fearmongering studies and corporate media reports linking "global warming" to weather events have increased dramatically, creating the illusion of a "crisis."  The study observed trends in climate disaster reports between 1900 and 2022.

Punked.  Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash this week along with several other officials of the Iranian government, including Iran's foreign minister.  Raisi was a monster, a man who murdered by slow strangulation thousands of Iranians, and who tortured and murdered a pregnant woman.  He was known as "the butcher of Teheran."  If, like me, you think the international organizations created after World War II have outlived their purpose, have admitted members of failed states who hold views antithetical to the organizations' stated missions, and need to be abolished and recast, this week, they punked themselves and made our case.  Among those offering condolences and tributes were NATO, the European Union, the Secretary-General of the UN, the UN Security Council, and the International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA) which Iran has made a monkey of for years.  Even our own State Department joined in this absurd sympathy charade.

UN Security Council Holds Moment of Silence for Iranian President Known as 'Butcher of Tehran'.  On Monday the United Nations Security Council held a minute of silence for Ebrahim Raisi, the late president of Iran who died in a helicopter crash over the weekend, in spite of his reputation as a serial human rights abuser, which earned him the nickname "Butcher of Tehran."  The representatives stood and observed the moment of silence for Raisi — ahead of a meeting on international threats to peace and security — at the request of Russia, China and Algeria.  Mozambique's ambassador to the U.N., Pedro Comissário Afonso, who holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month, announced the moment of silence.

From Sex Education to Sexuality Education.  What, exactly, is the "information and education" young children will receive?  Parents around the world will be shocked to learn what the United Nations and its specialty agencies consider appropriate sexual and reproductive information and education.  UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund (originally United Nations Fund for Population Activities), is the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency.  Its motto is Ensuring rights and choices for all.  The agency's 2014 "Operational Guidance for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE): A Focus on Human Rights and Gender"[ii] is extremely enlightening. [...] The foundational assumption in CSE is that schools are the appropriate place for "sexuality education," not the home.  This assumption facilitates the Marxist objective of replacing family authority with the authority of the state in order to collapse America from within.

The Deep State and Globalism.  [Scroll down]  By 1980 it was hardly a secret that change agents had infiltrated major American institutions, intent on undermining this country's culture and dismantling the America we all knew.  It triggered a culture war, and as the 20th century waned it became evident that the drive to change this country included grooming Americans for life in a global society (a project for the U.N.?).  That objective was in fact announced publicly in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush when he declared (with a straight face), that a New World Order was coming that would end wars and establish peace throughout the world.  In essence this was a recycling of the mission of the 1920 League of Nations that failed because the U.S. would not sign on.  In 1945 the idea of global governance was resurrected with the launching of the United Nations, resuming the challenge to national sovereignty.  I watched, dumbfounded, as the commander in chief of our country stood ready to cede the sovereignty of the United States to a ruling authority above it.

Surveillance Footage Shows Hamas Using UN Vehicles And Building For Their Terror Activities.  The IDF revealed on Tuesday that during operational activity in eastern Rafah on Saturday, terrorists were identified in UNRWA's central logistics compound alongside UN vehicles.  In the footage, several terrorists and gunfire can be seen near UN vehicles and in the area of UNRWA's logistics warehouse compound in eastern Rafah, which is a central point for the distribution of aid on UNRWA's behalf in the Gaza Strip.  [Video clip]

Hamas Terrorists Fight From UNRWA Compound.  The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, is the only UN organization that focuses solely on helping one group of people.  It is, basically, a front for the terrorists masquerading as a humanitarian organization.  It runs the schools in Gaza and the West Bank and educates the Palestinian population into hating Jews and aspiring to become "martyrs" to the cause.  [Advertisement]  Time and again the UNRWA and its employees have been caught engaging in terrorism and/or giving aid and comfort to them.  [Tweet]  None of that matters to the United Nations, which spends an inordinate amount of time and effort working to destroy Israel.  Or, should I say this is a feature, not a bug?

The UN Should Not Reward the Palestinians for Oct. 7th.  The United Nations General Assembly is expected to vote Friday on one of the worst resolutions to come before that body — one that would confer upon the "State of Palestine" many of the rights and privileges reserved for member states.  The U.S. and other U.N. member states should reject it.  The resolution is based on false premises, for one thing.  It would also invite financial distress on the UN, throw chaos into the membership process of the General Assembly, and, most importantly, reward terrorism.  Considering the ongoing support for indiscriminate violence against Israeli civilians by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, a majority vote of the General Assembly in favor of this resolution is tantamount to encouraging terrorism and endorsing hostility toward a fellow UN member state.

'There is a problem of deep rot at the United Nations'.  The United Nations has always been an extremely challenging arena for Israeli representatives.  During the six months of Israel's war with Hamas, with pro-Hamas protesters flooding the streets outside and supporters of the terrorists aiding them inside the building, the difficulties have become immense.  Yet, it seems that the past 10 days have been particularly intense.  It began last Thursday with an attempt to gain recognition for a Palestinian state at the Security Council.  At the start of this week, as we celebrated the Passover Seder, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres once again downplayed the horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, and which it continues to commit against the abductees.  On the same day, an "independent commission of inquiry" into the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's (UNRWA) involvement with Hamas essentially whitewashed the organization.

UN Climate Cult Chief Says We Have 2 Years To Save The Planet.  UN Climate Chief Simon Stiell says we only have two years left to save the planet.  "We still have a chance to make greenhouse gas emissions tumble, with a new generation of national climate plans.  But we need these stronger plans, now," he said.  [Video clip]

The Editor says...
[#1] The Earth and its atmosphere have been around a long time.  Two years is not enough time to make any measurable difference in the content of the atmosphere, even if all industrial activity stops overnight.  Two years isn't even long enough to write all the laws that would be required to make such changes.  (Assuming laws are his preferred mechanism, and not edicts.)  And even if all that happens, the volcanos, cows and termites will go ahead with business as usual.  [#2] Two years, you say?  After two years passes, and no action has been taken, and everyone can see that absolutely nothing has changed, what will you do to apologize, Mr. Stiell?  You're calling for drastic changes to everyone's lives (other than yours, of course) but you are risking nothing.

U.S. Vetoes Palestinian State at United Nations.  The United States used its veto on Thursday at the United Nations (UN) Security Council to block a Palestinian state from being declared unilaterally.  American policy has held for decades that a Palestinian state should emerge after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.  Still, the Biden administration played coy until the last hours before the UN Security Council vote, with the White House dodging questions about a potential veto until the State Department announced the U.S. position earlier on Thursday.

U.N. chief calls for slavery reparations to overcome 'generations of discrimination'.  United Nations chief Antonio Guterres called on Monday for reparations over the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved people as a way to tackle its legacy in today's society, including systemic racism.  From the 15th to the 19th century, at least 12.5 million Africans were kidnapped, forcibly transported by European ships and merchants and sold into slavery.  Those who survived the brutal voyage ended up toiling on plantations in the Americas, mostly in Brazil and the Caribbean, while others profited from their labour.  In a statement to mark the U.N. International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery, Guterres said the past "laid the foundations for a violent discrimination system based on white supremacy."  "We call for reparatory justice frameworks to help overcome generations of exclusion and discrimination," Guterres said.

Beating the war drums:  UN climate adviser says white people are taking up 'too much space'.  Ayisha Siddiqa would have made for a perfect addition to the Squad of Congress (she's a foreign-born Islamist who hates white people and the culture of the West) and given her views, she's also an obvious fit for the United Nations bureaucracy — which is why Secretary-General António Guterres handpicked Siddiqa to be a member of the United Nations Youth Advisory Group, a "mechanism" to "accelerate global climate action, and drive forward all 17 Sustainable Development Goals."  Now, Fox News just published a report by Hannah Grossman, which covered Siddiqa's social media rap sheet — per Grossman, Siddiqa has repeatedly "call[ed] for the destruction of capitalism," has claimed that the word "terrorism" is simply a "Western smear to justify its imperialism" and that "White people" are solely to blame for humanity's purported trend toward "extinction" because the alleged "climate crisis" is all our fault.

Government report reveals American cash is getting into terrorists hands through $2.9 billion UN plan.  American taxpayers' money is ending up in the hands of the Taliban, according to a U.S. government watchdog, which found that bundles of cash flown into Afghanistan by the United Nations are finding their way to the country's central bank.  The latest report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found that the U.N. has delivered more than $2.9 billion in cash since the extremist group took over in 2021.  The money, most of which comes from the U.S., is deposited in private banks for humanitarian organizations and their lifesaving work.

Israeli envoy:  'UNRWA must be defunded, dismantled'.  The head of UNRWA, the scandal-plagued, Palestinian-only refugee aid agency, told the U.N. General Assembly that his agency is "at a breaking point" after the United States and others suspended funding, pending an investigation of UNRWA staff's ties to Hamas.  The Israeli envoy to the global body told UNRWA good riddance.  "After all that has been exposed about UNRWA, it's very clear," Gilad Erdan, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, told the General Assembly on Monday.  "UNRWA will never again operate in Gaza as it has prior to Oct. 7.  Its role in Gaza is finished and it must be replaced immediately.  UNRWA must be defunded and dismantled."

Former Panama Border Chief:  UN Is Behind the Chaos at U.S.-Mexico Border.  Documents show that in 2023, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the dense jungle known as the Darien Gap from Colombia into Panama.  Migrants from around the world are flying into South and Central America to start their journey because countries such as Suriname and Ecuador don't require a visa to enter.  Their final destination is the United States.  The book "Weapons of Mass Migration:  Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy," written by Kelly Greenhill, suggests that weaker countries are using migration to destabilize their more powerful adversaries.  Joseph Humire is the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society and an expert on unconventional warfare.  He told The Epoch Times that he believes that's what Americans are seeing at the U.S. southern border now.  "This isn't a conspiracy theory," he said; the "invasion" at the U.S. southern border is "strategic engineered migration."

Hamas Isn't a Terror Group, Says UN Relief Chief.  No sooner had Martin Griffiths, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, declared that Hamas was not a terrorist group than it came it light that at least 30 UNRWA employees actively participated in Hamas' Oct. 7 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis.  So now we see:  of course Hamas isn't a terror group.  It's a UN agency.  The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that Griffiths said: "Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement."  Yeah, sure, that's it:  Hamas is a political movement that engages from time to time in mass rape and murder.  Really, how far off from that are the Democrats?  Give our sinister stateside authoritarians a few years, and they could be giving Hamas a run for its money.

WHO Demands Global Meat Consumption Ban by 2025.  The World Health Organization has just upped the ante with its globalist "Net Zero" agenda by demanding that the general public must be banned from consuming meat and dairy products by 2025 globally.  The head of the United Nations "health" agency, Tedros Adhanom, declared in a statement that citizens around the world must begin the shift to plant and insect-based "foods" in order to "save the planet" from "global warming." [...] He estimates that eight million lives could be saved each year with this one change.  Although shifting away from red meat has been recommended for many years for health reasons, his motivation here appears to be purely environmental, with a context note on a video of him declaring the war on meat noting that climate change "refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities."

The Editor says...
Since when is the WHO or the UN in a position to "demand" anything?

Israel claims dozens more UNRWA staff took part in October 7 attacks.  Israel has identified dozens more UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) workers who it claims took part in the October 7 Hamas attacks, the country's defence minister told The Telegraph.  Speaking at a briefing for journalists in Tel Aviv, Yoav Gallant also said more than 1,400 workers from the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees were members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.  The figure amounts to around 12 percent of the agency's workforce.  Several countries, including the UK, suspended their financial aid to UNRWA after Israel provided the agency with evidence showing that a dozen of its members were involved in the Hamas massacre.  Mr Gallant shared what he said was evidence that more UNRWA workers were involved than previously claimed.  "In addition to these 12 workers, we have significant indications, based on intelligence, that over 30 UNRWA workers participated in the massacre, facilitated the taking of hostages, looted and stole from Israeli communities, and more," he said.

United Nations Agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) Is Going Broke.  Let It.  The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East is about to experience "negative cash flows" in April, according to the head of that agency. [...] While the United Nations has, arguably, outlived its usefulness, the UNRWA has downright collaborated with terrorists and deserves to die on the vine.  The nations that are halting funding for UNRWA are doing so after an Israeli investigation uncovered that at least a dozen UNRWA employees provided support for or actually participated in the Oct 7th attacks by Hamas against Israel. [...] Ireland, however, appears to be willing to throw a lifeline to this agency which has been so compromised by Hamas.

Directly beneath UNRWA's Gaza headquarters, IDF uncoverstop secret Hamas data center.  Beneath the Gaza Strip headquarters of the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, known commonly as UNRWA, the Hamas terror group hid one of its most significant assets, the Israeli military has revealed.  The subterranean data center — complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks and living quarters for Hamas terrorists operating the computer servers — was built precisely under the location where Israel would not consider looking initially, let alone target in an airstrike.  The revelation of the server farm comes amid other accusations of UNRWA collusion with the Gaza-ruling terror group and the entanglement of the UN body that provides welfare and humanitarian services for Palestinian refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars and their descendants.

Double Exposure.  Every day the Israeli Defense Forces find more proof of the perfidy of the UN and UNRWA.  Did you guess that the UN's demand for a quick ceasefire was intended to conceal this?  If so, you guessed right.  This week, among other things, the IDF discovered Hamas Intelligence Headquarters and an enormous tunnel beneath UNRWA HQ in Gaza equipped with a huge server and data farm which was receiving its electricity from UNRWA sources.  I'd hate to prejudge the honesty of the UNRWA officials who claim they'd no idea what was going on under their feet — I mean, they might have thought there were giant hordes of very big moles under their HQ.  Still, their denials strain credulity.  Indeed, tunnels and tunnel entrances and weaponry and sometimes even terrorists have been found in every UNRWA facility in Gaza.  Ha

UNRWA, the Greatest Welfare Scam Ever.  UNRWA's brief for 75 years has been supporting millions of "Palestinian refugees" when, truth be told, there is nothing Palestinian about these people.  And neither are they refugees.  The historical record is clear:  There never was in the Promised Land a people calling themselves "Palestinians" and were called that by others.  A Biblical generation prior to the first Zionist Congress in 1897, American novelist Herman Melville in 1857 made a pilgrimage to the Land, then under Muslim rule for twelve of the previous fourteen centuries, that he described as "a caked, depopulated Hell."  A decade later, that other American writer Mark Twain made his pilgrimage and likewise reported the land "sits in sack cloth and ashes."  Neither in writing of his pilgrimage mentioned running into any "Palestinians."  Prior to the Zionist movement under the Turks, there was no such living political entity called Palestine.  Jerusalem no less was a neglected shamble.  It never meant anything to Muslims except for a miracle story about Mohammad flying in one night on a flying horse.

UNRWA Cannot Operate Without Hamas — No Wonder It Has a Neutrality Problem.  In the Telegraph, Paul Nuki explores the unholy alliance between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the Palestinian group Hamas amid revelations that UNRWA employees have been involved in supporting or participating in terrorist activities.

Agenda 2030: A Power-mad Document.  There has never been such a global policy statement as this.  It really is not about policy, but about an intended power-grab of unprecedented proportions.  This writer is proposing that the "common action" is to eliminate nation-state sovereignties throughout the world.  The sinister nature of this purpose is deflected by the words "universal policy."  Policy would be, for example, to double the daily consumption of about half the world's population, living on $2 a day per person, to $4 a day.  That would be a policy.  But this agenda has no specific policies.  It is couched throughout in vapid, non-specific terms, being specific only when referring to various U.N.-sponsored conferences held before 2015, the year that Agenda 2030 was written.  Not one specific economic or social policy implementation — and successful implementation — is referred to in the entire Agenda 2030 document!  The above is only scratching the surface of Agenda 2030's attempt to obfuscate and deceive while claiming a wholesome and positive goal for the entire world.

UNRWA Says It Could Shut Down After US Pulls Funding Over Terror Links.  The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) said on Thursday that it will most likely be forced to shut down its operations in the Middle East, including in Gaza, by the end of the month if funding does not resume.  A string of countries including the United States, Germany, and Britain have paused their funding to the aid agency in the wake of allegations that some UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel.  "The agency remains the largest aid organization in one of the most severe and complex humanitarian crises in the world," UNRWA commissioner-general Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement.  "If the funding remains suspended, we will most likely be forced to shut down our operations by end of February not only in Gaza but also across the region."

The Editor says...
Here's a better idea:  Stop all funding for the U.N.  Maybe it will shut down, or at least move to another country.

Students at School Run by UNRWA Boast about Wanting to Murder Jews in Shocking Video.  Students at a school in East Jerusalem run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) were recorded in a recently resurfaced video explaining how they've been taught to murder Jews and take part in the generational struggle to reclaim land which they believe belongs to Palestinians.  The documentary was shot in 2022 in a school in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem and recently resurfaced amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.  In the video, students who appear to be as young as seven or eight years old tell an interviewer "we have been taught that the Jews kill our children."  "Stabbing and trampling Jews brings respect to the Palestinians," says another child.  Another student explains that she is "ready to carry out a suicide attack."  [Video clip]

Did We Stop Funding UNRWA? Nope.  The Biden administration is continuing to build a disappointing track record of weak responses to foreign affairs crises and deceptive promotion of its own efforts at home.  The latest example comes on the heels of the explosive revelations that at least a dozen members of the United Nations' Palestinian relief agency, the UNRWA, took part in the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7.  In response, the White House claimed that they had reinstituted a freeze on funding for the UNRWA that had already been in place under Trump but was lifted by Joe Biden.  That seemed like a step in the right direction at the time, but now we've learned that a very important detail was left out of the announcement.  As Guy Benson reports at Townhall, the "freeze" in funding only applies to new, additional funding requests.  Previously approved funds will continue to flow to them as usual.

UNRWA is worse than you think.  This is the story of UNRWA — the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.  On Friday, it announced that it was investigating allegations that 12 of its employees in Gaza took part in the Hamas pogrom of 7 October.  Israel alleges that these UNRWA staff, people literally on the payroll of the UN, carried out acts including abduction, distributing ammunition, coordinating attacks and actual murder.  UNRWA says it has dismissed the suspects and is investigating the claims.  In response, some Western nations, including the US, the UK and Australia, have suspended funding to UNRWA.  As well they might.  Who wants their hard-earned tax dollars going to an organisation that reportedly harbours neo-fascists?  Which allegedly counts among its workforce Jew-haters of such a twisted, devoted nature that they're willing to assist in the worst anti-Semitic rampage since the Holocaust?  Suspending the flow of money to UNRWA while officials figure out whether its staff really did take part in that racist, rapacious onslaught against Jewish men, women and children seems a reasonable decision to me.

UNRWA staff took part in Be'eri massacre, kidnapping.  Israeli intelligence material handed to the United States reveals the extent of United Nations Relief and Works Agency staff participation in the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.  The New York Times on Sunday published details regarding the involvement of 12 UNRWA employees in the Hamas-led terrorist attack in southern Israel — 10 Hamas operatives and one affiliated with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.  The Wall Street Journal also reviewed the dossier, publishing additional findings from the Israeli intelligence reports on Monday, including that around 10% of the U.N. agency's 12,000-strong Gaza staff have ties to Islamist terrorist groups.  One of the UNRWA workers is accused of kidnapping a woman, another of participating in the Kibbutz Be'eri massacre in which nearly 100 people were murdered, and a third of distributing ammunition.  "UNRWA's problem is not just 'a few bad apples' involved in the October 7 massacre.  The institution as a whole is a haven for Hamas's radical ideology," a senior Israeli government official told the Journal.

Several Countries Halt U.N. Agency Funds over Alleged Involvement in October 7th Terror Attacks on Israel.  The United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, Canada, and Australia have all announced that they will suspend funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) over allegations that staff actively participated in the October 7th Hamas terror attacks on Israel.  On Friday [1/26/2024], UNWRA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini that his agency has fired several staff members after receiving Israeli intelligence claiming that at least 12 UNWRA staff members participated in the Hamas terror attacks on Israel that saw the Palestinian Islamists butcher around 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and kidnap over 250 more, some of whom remain in captivity to this day.

Biden [is] Forced to Stop Funding UNRWA After Evidence of [its] Agents Participating in Oct 7 Terrorist Attack.  Evidence has been shown to the Biden administration and the United Nations that 12 members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) were actual participants in the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel.  Yes, you read that correctly.  The U.N. was an actual participant in the premeditated slaughter of Israeli citizens.

Don't believe the lies:  The UN is paying illegals using US taxpayer cash.  In 2021, early on in America's historic border crisis, I wrote that the United Nations was abetting the problem by handing out debit cards and cash vouchers to aspiring illegal border crossers on their way north.  One outraged group of 21 border security-minded lawmakers pitched a bill that would require the United States, the UN's largest donor, to turn off the taxpayer money spigot.  H.R. 6155 never caught fire, though, in no small part because "fact checks" from outlets such as the AFP claimed that the UN was doing no such thing.  Those fact checkers lied.

Nut Zero.  It's a bad policy, but the reasoning is simple enough to understand.  ["]More than 140 countries, including the biggest polluters — China, the United States, India and the European Union — have set a net-zero target, covering about 88% of global emissions.  More than 9,000 companies, over 1000 cities, more than 1000 educational institutions, and over 600 financial institutions have joined the Race to Zero, pledging to take rigorous, immediate action to halve global emissions by 2030.["]  This policy goal is truly insane, and everybody promoting it is as well.  And, as the Telegraph reports, they are incredibly careless as well, playing with human lives and prosperity without thinking anything they do through to their logical conclusions.  Their obsession with Net Zero overrides the most basic level of prudence one would expect from world leaders.

The Editor says...
[#1] The countries that the U.N. calls "the biggest polluters" are also the most productive, prosperous, and industrious countries in the world.  [#2] When the U.N. speaks about "global emissions," they don't say what is being emitted, or why the emissions are harmful.  They are talking about emissions of carbon dioxide, which are inevitable in almost any industrial process, such as the generation of electricity, and the CO2 thus emitted is beneficial, not harmful.  [#3] The slogan, "Race to Zero," should set off an alarm in your head immediately.  Any time there is a big rush to implement a government (or U.N.) program, the only reason for the hurry is deception.  They want you to pay for their half-baked ideas before the word gets around that the project is completely futile and unnecessary.  For more examples, see What's the Rush?

'I was so naïve to think the UN would help us uncover Hamas' rape atrocities'.  It has been over three months since Hamas's attack on Israel, during which terrorists moved through a music festival and 20 villages and towns, murdering men, women and children.  Unequivocal evidence has since shown how entire families were burned, people were beheaded, how there was the systematic raping and mutilation of girls and women, along with the dragging away of 240 hostages.  Hamas filmed in real time and streamed it on social media.  The death toll currently stands at 1,200.  When the news flashes appeared on Israeli television on Oct 7, 40-year-old Dr Cochav Elkayam-Levy was at the hospital bedside of her 69-year-old father, who was deteriorating with Alzeimher's.  She was just back from a family holiday in Egypt with her husband and children, two boys and two girls, aged two through to 13.  She had read and swam, practised yoga and meditated, a last break before her new semester at the Davis Institute for International Relations at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, where she teaches international law, gender and the protection of human rights.  But with Oct 7, her life was to change overnight.

UN Secretary-General Demands End to 'Fossil Fuel,' Claims It's 'Inevitable'.  The United Nations (UN) Secretary-General demands a total phase out of fossil fuels — to stop a "climate crisis" that doesn't actually exist.  How dare you own a car despite the fact there's weather, you cretinous serf!  Speaking at the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Davos 2024 conference, António Guterres condescendingly lectured about his favorite topic (when he's not supporting Palestinian jihadis against Israel):  the alleged crisis of climate change.  Because climate alarmists have only been dead wrong for 50+ years, so we know they're right this time.  "2023 went down as the hottest year on record," Guterres lied.  "But it could be one of the coolest years [of] the future."  From there he started to bash fossil fuels.  "The media has recently reported that U.S. fossil fuel industry has launched yet another multi-million dollar campaign to kneecap progress and keep the oil and gas flowing indefinitely," Guterres gloomily noted.  "Let me be very clear again.  The phase-out of fossil fuels is essential and inevitable.  No amount of... scare tactics will change that.  Let's hope it doesn't come too late."

The Head Monster Of The WHO, Tedros, Says Food Is A Threat To Our Planet.  WHO head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declares war on meat and traditional agriculture, in the name of fighting "climate change":  "Our food systems are harming the health of people and the planet.  Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one third of the global burden of disease."  "Transforming food systems is therefore essential, by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant-based diets."  Does anyone remember electing this clown to dictate what kind of agriculture and diets are permissable?  [Video clip]

UNRWA Teachers Cheered Hamas as October Attack Unfolded, Called for Execution of Jews in Group Chat.  Teachers working for the United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) cheered as Hamas terrorists raped and murdered Israelis on October 7, according to recently divulged transcripts of a UNRWA Gaza online group.  More than 3,000 UNRWA teachers in Gaza belong to the social media group, which is hosted on the instant messaging platform Telegram and was exposed by the watchdog group UN Watch.  The digital forum contains posts celebrating the massacre of October 7 just moments after it began.  "This is the motherlode of UNRWA teachers' incitement to Jihadi terrorism," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.

United Nations Demands $150 Trillion to Fight 'Climate Change'.  The United Nations (UN) is demanding that taxpayers around the world cough up a staggering $150 trillion to fight "man-made climate change" — a fabricated "crisis" that the unelected globalist organization helped to create.  The UN made the demands in a new report published by its Department of Economic and Social Affairs.  The agency claims that it needs global governments to commit to handing over $5.3 trillion per year to the bureaucratic agency.  According to the report, the UN needs $150 trillion in order to "save the planet" from "global warming" by complying with the "Agenda 2050" goals of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

White House forcefully defends UNRWA amid alleged terrorism ties: 'They do great work in Gaza'.  The White House defended the United Nations Relief and Works Agency Thursday as Republican lawmakers are demanding investigations into reports that the aid body's staff has embedded with Hamas and aiding the terror organization in Gaza and throughout the Middle East.  National Security Council spokesman John Kirby defended the agency, however, when asked if Republicans' calls to investigate the agency have shifted the administration's "strategy" regarding the organization.  Former President Donald Trump forcibly cut ties with UNRWA in 2018, but the group again began receiving money from the U.S. after President Joe Biden entered office in 2021.  Since that time, the U.S. has sent UNRWA more than $700 million.

The United States is in A Dark Place.  We are in a dark place as a country. [...] Further, in order to fully grasp the extent of our "dark place," we also need to be alert to the significance of the United Nations' Agenda 2030.  This document with 91 sections is the vision of the new world government which the UN hopes to fully establish by 2030.  Before considering this document, we need to consider where the UN has been while all the conflict is going on in the world.  The UN, with its traditional peacekeeping functions and powers, seems nowhere to be found in stories about the fighting in Ukraine, in bringing peace in the Middle East, in Yemen, in Syria, or in Gaza for that matter.  UN troops fought in Korea and the UN has had troops in other war-torn areas.  Yet, Agenda 2030, the UN's vision for world governance, has no discussion of police or military power.  Further, unlike the original United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1946, there is no discussion of "rights."  The word "rights" only appears once in Section 19 of this latest major document, although in 1946 rights appeared in every other sentence.  In this latest "vision," the key terms that keep reappearing are "needs" and "sustainability."  The emphasis on needs is lifted directly from the Marxist playbook, which stresses "from each according to his ability to each according to his needs."

UNRWA is a Terrorist Organization.  It must be prosecuted and dismantled.  The U.N.agency is aligned with the jihad force.  The United Nations was founded over seventy years ago in the wake of the Holocaust to ensure "never again." Democracies, both nascent and well-established, comprised the majority of the founding nations of the UN.  America was confident that the UN would be an organization which would work in tandem with American national interests in promoting the welfare of humankind and the basic rights of every human spirit.  It has become the very thing it was founded to defeat.  Just as the League of Nations was dissolved because it failed in its primary purpose to prevent world war, The United Nations has failed in its primary purpose and should be dismantled.The United Nations "should cease to exist except for the sole purpose of the liquidation of its affairs."  They have devolved to an arm of the jihad force.

They Are Openly Telling Us They Are Dismantling the West.  The US and EU are destroying themselves by destroying our energy sector, which is key to our wealth and national security.  At the same time, the Chinese and Arabs are making oil deals.  "The thing that really jumped out at me with this whole UN COP28 summit, my big takeaway," Mr. Newman said, "is they were talking about phasing out carbon emissions and phasing out fossil fuels, but that's just for the suckers in the Western world.  That's just the United States under Joe Biden.  That's just for the European Union under their treacherous leaders.  The communist Chinese, the Arab dictatorships, the Russians, and all the different socialist kleptocracies were literally making oil deals at this summit."

Call To Defund The United Nations' Climate Cops.  This year's U.N. Climate Change Conference, known as COP28, was much like previous gatherings.  The original goal was to determine what effects human activities, especially 'fossil-fuel' use, might have on Earth's climate.  But that quickly mutated into an inquisition grounded in the absurd notion that those activities were the only factor in 'climate change'.  It then mutated even more grotesquely into demands that humanity quickly eliminate all 'fossil fuels' — 80 percent of the world's energy — despite the many negative consequences.  Every successive conference has exerted greater pressure on developed countries to abandon the oil, natural gas, and coal that make modern economies, health, living standards, and essential products possible; on poor countries to never use those fuels in the first place; and on all nations to rely on wind and solar energy that have never proved they can be the primary power source for even a small village.

World Leaders' Terror of Climate Change.  Playing to what amounted to a friendly home crowd at the Dubai U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP28), NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg went there to deliver a message touting a relationship between global security and climate change, while emphasizing the necessity of shifting military resources to combat global warming.  In his speech, set against a backdrop of the Ukraine war, he was adamant about the influence of climate change on international security with conflict actually undermining "our capability to combat climate change because resources that we should have used to combat climate change are spent on our protecting our security with our military forces."  He would even become apologetic about the Alliance's reliance on fossil fuel — intensive military machinery, telling the audience, "If you look at big battle tanks and the big battleships and fighter jets, they are very advanced and great in many ways, but they're not very environmentally friendly.  They pollute a lot, so we need to get down the emissions."

WHO's Tedros Declares War on Meat, Traditional Farming.  World Health Organization (WHO) head, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared war on meat and traditional farming.  "Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet.  Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one-third of the global burden of disease.  Transforming food systems is therefore essential," Tedros said in a video message published last Thursday for the COP28 official event.  Earlier this month the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) rolled out its food guidance for first-world countries in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.

The Editor says...
People who are starving don't care about greenhouse gases.  One would think a WHO official would understand something as elementary as that.

Morano: UN 'is literally psychotic... We have to say NO to idea of Net Zero!'  "Since March of 2020, the whole world has changed.  They are lusting after what they saw in COVID.  And the most significant thing of this COP 28 happened about a week before COP 28[.]  And that's when a couple of hundred medical journals urged the World Health Organization to declare climate change a public health threat.  The idea here is to bring this under public health authority.  So if you could declare a COVID emergency or you can declare any kind of public health pandemic you can now call climate change as part of that and that's what they're looking for — to bypass democracy."

We Must Save Ourselves from the Public Health Professionals.  Humans are prone to think themselves important if they seem to have power over the lives of others.  With international public health staff this is reinforced by people they meet, and the media glorifying their work.  The public hears little of the high, often tax-free salaries or the travels and 5-star hotels that boost these egos still further, but instead are fed pictures of (usually brown) children lining up to be saved by people in (usually blue) vests with nice logos.  It all feels good.  The result, inevitably, is an international public health workforce that has a very high opinion of itself.  Possessing values that it considers superior to those of others, it feels justified in imposing its beliefs and values on the populations who are the target of its work.  As their role seems to them more important than bringing up kids in some random village or working at an airport check-in counter, they can feel virtuous when seeking to impose their superior opinions on others.

UN and Hamas:  Partners in Crime.  Since October 7, when Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel and massacred at least 1,200 and kidnapped another 240 Israelis and people of other nationalities, the United Nations has been acting as the unofficial propaganda arm of the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist organization.  The propaganda campaign's main aim — besides smearing Israel — appears to be to build overwhelming international pressure on Israel to agree to an indefinite ceasefire, which will give Hamas the needed time to regroup and replenish to continue its terrorist activities and to avoid being eliminated by the Israeli Defense Forces.  To understand how the UN effectively runs the Hamas propaganda war, it is important to know that the UN, through its agency for Palestinian refugees, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), is effectively embedded with Hamas in the Gaza Strip: it can be difficult to make any meaningful distinction between the two organizations.  On October 7, in fact, as the Hamas massacre of civilians in Israel unfolded, UNRWA employees in Gaza celebrated.

Winkin', Blinken, and Nod.  Every one of the United Nation's agencies involved in the Middle East have placed it on the side of the most barbarous enemies of civilization.  The worst is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Disgusted by the agency's role, Germany has frozen its substantial contributions to UNRWA (Germany is UNRWA's second largest donor at $202 million last year) and the United States should do no less.  (In 2018 President Trump cut funds to UNRWA; the Biden Administration rushed to restore them.)  UNRWA was formed in 1948.  There was already in existence the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) which had successfully resettled refugees.  UNRWA, in contrast, has hired radical Islamists and used the schools, hospitals, and programs it manages to propagandize generations into serving as Islamist foot soldiers and martyrs.

US To Hand Billions To United Nations' 'Green Climate Fund' For Poor Countries.  President Joe Biden's administration is committing an additional $3 billion to help developing countries fight climate change, the White House announced Saturday.  The allotment will go toward the United Nations' Green Climate Fund and will be pledged by Vice President Kamala Harris at the COP28 summit in Dubai, according to the White House.  The U.S.' pledge will bring the fund to its largest level so far, as other countries like France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan have already made similar commitments that totaled $9.3 billion, according to Bloomberg, who first reported the funding.

United Nations set to call on Americans to reduce meat consumption.  A lead United Nations agency overseeing food and agriculture policy is expected to issue a road map in the coming weeks which will call on the West, including America, to dramatically reduce its meat consumption.  The UN's Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will publish its so-called global food systems' road map during the upcoming COP28 climate summit in Dubai which will kick off on Thursday and extend nearly two weeks until mid-December.  FAO's first-of-its-kind document will recommend nations that "over-consume meat" to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Bloomberg reported.  "The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector," Jeremy Coller, the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide, said in a recent statement.

The UN's rot laid bare in Israel-Hamas war.  The United Nations is again underlining its systemic moral and political rot.  Since Hamas's Oct. 7 atrocity, an assault of murder, rape, and kidnapping which took approximately 1,200 Israeli lives, the U.N. has utterly failed in its core mission to preserve international peace and justice in service of sovereign nations.  Instead, under the waffling weakness of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the U.N. has presented Israel as the guilty party in this crisis.  Disregarding Hamas's battlefield tactic of using schools and hospitals as arms depots and closing his eyes to Hamas's use of Palestinian civilians as human shields, the U.N. chief claims that Israel is committing war crimes.  Addressing Israeli military action in Gaza, he asserted this week that "We are witnessing a killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I have been secretary-general."

U.N. adopts eight resolutions condemning Israel, none condemning Hamas — or anyone else.  The U.N. recently adopted eight resolutions condemning Israel for various alleged human rights violations, yet made no condemnation of other nations or groups, including Hamas.  This, after Hamas slaughtered nearly 1,500 innocent Israelis during a surprise attack on October 7.  And at a time of inexplicably rising anti-Semitism.  This tells you all you need to know about the "world body."  It is nothing more than a wretched hive of scum and villainy.  Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, said via press release: "The U.N.'s assault on Israel with a torrent of one-sided resolutions, just one month after the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, is surreal."  And morally repugnant.

Why Governments Have Replaced God with Global Warming.  At the United Nations, dopey diplomats speak in flowery clichés about the value of international cooperation.  In the real world, though, governments succeed in corralling their peoples into pens only if everyone is afraid.  North Korea's dictator must make his people afraid of Americans.  America's dictator must make his people afraid of Russians.  The European Union's dictators must make their hodgepodge of nations all afraid of nationalists.  The ruling atheists must make their postmodern peoples all hostile to Israel.  And the whole smorgasbord of manipulative, malicious governments must keep the world's peasants perpetually petrified of COVID... and "hate speech"... and Donald Trump... and, most importantly, "global warming"!

The True Face of the United Nations.  The precursor to the United Nations was conceptualized by President Woodrow Wilson, who feverishly traveled around Europe calling for "the making of peace" as well as "the creation of a League of Nations" to accomplish that objective.  This came on the heels of World War I and, for his tireless efforts, Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919.  Ironically, the first worldwide intergovernmental organization whose raison d'être was to maintain world peace failed miserably.  The aftermath of World War II led to the founding of an equally inept organization with the same utopian concept of preventing future world wars: the United Nations.  The 20th century is now known as the bloodiest century in history for the sheer number of wars that plagued the world.  One doesn't need to call upon experts to deduce that the United Nations has failed on this front, among others.  In fact, the U.N. has become an epithet for corruption and ineptitude.

Why Erdoğan Wants a UN Seat for Muslims.  The world's "strategic eyes" should have looked closer at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's speech in September at the UN General Assembly.  It was another warning to the West about his intended Islamist design for the entire world — not that he can accomplish this ambition, but what he aims for comes in with several red flags with it.  In his speech, greeted as a brave international challenge by the Turkish media (90% of which he controls), he called on the international community to collectively fight what he thinks is the greatest malady of mankind:  Islamophobia.  He wants, he said, to revolutionize the post-World War II international political order by giving Muslim nations a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.  "The world is bigger than five" has been his dictum over the past several years.  He wants Muslim nations, preferably Turkey, to have a veto power, via the UN, over a new world order.  That is not all.  Erdoğan wants the world to recognize the breakaway Turkish statelet of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, recognized only by Turkey.  That statelet emerged after Turkey's illegal invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

Threats to the United States now at a Whole New Level.  The American people are also finally wising up about the harm that globalists at the U.N., the international banking cabal and the World Economic Forum have already wrought in Europe with their replacement migration policies that induced European nations to open the doors to immigration from Middle Eastern and North African countries.  As a result, the population of Muslims increased 16-fold — to about 30 million, spread out across most European and Scandinavian countries with disastrous social costs — bringing cultural and political division, riots, and crime.

Everywhere Is a Border State.  A white van bearing the words "OIM - ONU Migración" sped past a row of low yellow buildings, looking out of place in the neighborhood like a roving FEMA tent.  Auden B. Cabello, a journalist documenting the border crisis, posted a video of the sight to Twitter and asked a good question:  "What is the IOM, International Organization for Migration (UN), doing in Eagle Pass, Texas?"  The IOM (or OIM in Spanish) is the chief immigration agency of the UN.  It works with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in order to "cooperate closely with international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, concerned with migration, refugees and human resources in order, inter alia, to facilitate the co-ordination of international activities in these fields."  Put simply, the IOM partners with NGOs to facilitate mass immigration.  Though they don't receive the scrutiny they deserve, NGOs are a critical part of the ongoing crisis.  They provide migrants with shelter, transportation, legal assistance, and more.  Their facilities act as conduits into the interior of the country, on-ramps to highways into the heartland.

France and the European Union are No Friends of Israel.  Last week, with 120 votes in favor, 15 against and 45 abstentions, the United Nations General Assembly passed a shameful resolution calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian corridors in Gaza — without condemning the crimes of Hamas.  While four European countries voted against and fifteen abstained (including Germany), France approved a UN General Assembly resolution that makes not even mention of Hamas's crimes.  At the recent European Summit in Brussels, the heads of state and government did not make the call for "humanitarian pauses" conditional on the release of the Israeli and foreign hostages held in Gaza by Hamas.  France and the European Union do not count in the Middle East, but tend to forget it.  The last time European countries played an important political role in the region was in 1956, during the Suez crisis, when the French and British were humiliated and kicked out of the region.

Iran to Chair UN Human Rights Commission.  The United Nations can't muster enough votes in the General Assembly to denounce the rape, murder, torture, and kidnapping of innocent civilians.  You might think that puts a dent or two into its claims of moral authority.  You would be wrong, because the countries who wouldn't vote to condemn Hamas think that the terrorism was justified, and the countries who voted to condemn Hamas don't have the courage to admit that barbarians run much of the world.  The UN is a ridiculous institution.  A farce.  It exists mainly for two reasons:  1) to provide a convenient excuse for graft and nice paid vacations to New York City for third-world dictators, and 2) a place to have secret negotiations with adversaries that could take place nowhere else.  [Tweet]

The UN has become a sick joke.  When arguing Israel's case, including the legitimacy and indeed moral rectitude of its present attempts to annihilate Hamas, my opponents often throw at me what they imagine to be authoritative arguments against the Jewish state.  These almost always begin with a reference to "international law violations".  They are unmoved when it is pointed out that Israel is the only party in this conflict actually committed to following international law.  They seem to think that international law prohibits the country from doing absolutely anything at all to defend itself from attack.  Their other favoured tactic, however, is to draw on the supposed authority of the UN — as if the organisation was somehow a neutral observer.  It is not, as the past few days have made painfully clear.  The UN never appears to miss a chance to undermine Israel.  But last week, its behaviour was absolutely chilling.  With Israelis still in shock at Hamas's savage, barbaric attacks (it's a small country so everyone knows someone who was harmed or killed), Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, declared that the atrocities did "not happen in a vacuum".  Translation:  it was Israel's fault.  Israel responded to these comments with fury, as any victim would when the authorities blame them for what had happened.  It was like the police telling a woman who has just been raped that rapists don't operate "in a vacuum".  Since at least the 1970s, when it passed a resolution declaring that Zionism is a form of racism (1975), and perhaps long before that too, the UN General Assembly has played host to attempts to promote the most grotesque lies and hatred against the Jewish state it helped bring into creation with Resolution 181 in 1947.

Israel withholding visas for UN officials after Hamas comments.  Tensions between Israel and the United Nations are heightened after a series of comments about Hamas led to U.N. visas being denied.  U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Tuesday during a meeting of the Security Council the terrorist attacks against Israel Oct. 7 "did not happen in a vacuum."  Supporters of Israel took offense to the assertion, and critics claimed the U.N. was blaming the Jewish state for the slaughter of its own civilians by Hamas.

The UN Sides With the Terrorists, Again.  United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres gave a speech at the UN General Assembly Tuesday and excused the October 7 terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on thousands of innocent Israeli citizens.  At least two hundred people are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip and 33 Americans have been killed.  "The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum," Guterres said, falsely stating Gaza is under "Israeli occupation."  Israel left Gaza in 2005.  In 2007, the people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government, who turned the 25 mile strip into a terrorism hell hole.  [Tweet with video clip]

Israeli UN ambassador demands UN secretary-general resign after 'shocking' speech.  Israel's ambassador to the United Nations is ripping the "horrible views" that U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres expressed at a meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday and is calling for his resignation.  Ambassador Gilad Erdan described Guterres' remarks as "shocking" for stating that the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel by Hamas "did not happen in a vacuum" and that the "Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation."  "The shocking speech by the @UN Secretary-General at the Security Council meeting, while rockets are being fired at all of Israel, proved conclusively, beyond any doubt, that the Secretary-General is completely disconnected from the reality in our region and that he views the massacre committed by Nazi Hamas terrorists in a distorted and immoral manner," Erdan posted on X, formerly Twitter.

UN chief says Hamas attacks did not occur in vacuum, sparking Israeli fury.  Israel is protesting after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appeared to try to explain the impetus behind the Hamas terror group's attacks on Israel at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas.  "It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum," Guterres said. "The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.  They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished.  Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing."

Time for Wokesters to Stick a Sock in It.  A reporter filmed kids in a Palestinian school run by UNRWA, which propagandized them to hate and be martyrs for Hamas.  Dr. Einat Wilf asks what the organization "sustained, nourished, supported" when for generations they inculcated in Palestinians the fantasies that "they don't need to accept new realities, new borders, and move on with the lives; that they possess a non-existent "right of return" into Israeli sovereign territory, that their land was "stolen" and that they have the right to take it "back" by "all means" — what exactly did you think the outcome would be?  Peace?  Two states?" UNRWA provides "ideological sustenance and international legitimacy through the letters "UN" and continuous Western funding for the Palestinian belief that Israel is a temporary aberration in the region and that the clock on it could be turned back through 'return.'"  It's long past time that we refuse to continue this.  Palestinians have to learn to embrace defeat and UNRWA to cease to exist for peace to actually have a chance.

UN still does not label [and/or] sanction Hamas as terror group despite murderous attacks.  As Israel reels from the deadliest terror attack in years by Hamas, the United Nations Security Council still does not recognize or sanction Hamas as a terror group — despite multiple other nations declaring it to be so.  "The U.N. Security Council votes to impose sanctions and designations on groups like al Qaeda, the Taliban or ISIS.  But no such sanctions or designations exist for Iran's axis of terror groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah," Richard Goldberg, senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.  The Council, under resolutions passed in 1999, 2011 and 2015, sanctions ISIS and al Qaeda, along with associated individuals and groups.  The Council's committee on those resolutions oversees sanctions measured imposed by the council.

UN Wants to Raise $294 Million to Help "Palestinians".  The only question is how much of that will we be paying.  But sure.  Why not pump another $294 million into the terror nests after all the billions we've already spent subsidizing them?  What could possibly go wrong?  Will the money end up funding terrorists?  Well, it gets deployed through "77 humanitarian partners" so the answer is probably yes.  (Also the UN chart in the same pamphlet also claims that it has 100 partners.  Are the other 33 non-humanitarian partners?)

Haitian migrant speaks out; says UN paid him to illegally invade our border.  The disaster at the U.S.-Mexico border is both complex and remarkably simple to understand.  Democrats have enticed a mob of foreign illegals, lured by promises of free housing, healthcare, and welfare.  These illegals are now inundating the border, looking for assistance and opportunities to earn money to send back home.  Who can forget that moment on the 2020 DNC debate stage when all candidates raised their hands, pledging to provide free healthcare to undocumented individuals?  [Video clip]  For Democrats, it's an easy trade-off: they create a new voting demographic of non-Americans willing to support their policies to maintain their agenda and power, even if that means destroying the country.

UN Leaders' Unconscionable Moral Equivalence in the Face of Pure Evil.  United Nations Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the president of the United Nations General Assembly Dennis Francis delivered remarks on October 9th regarding the war between Hamas and Israel that Hamas initiated two days earlier.  They illustrate yet again the moral equivalence syndrome that the UN displays whenever the Palestinian terrorists attack innocent civilians in Israel and the Jewish state responds in self-defense.  But it is especially reprehensible to continue pontificating along these same lines in the face of Hamas's pure evil when the terrorists invaded Israel and went on a bloody rampage.

The UN Pandemic Declaration Approval is a Testament to the Aversion of Evidence.  Robert Louis Stevenson in New Arabian Nights wrote the famous line, "I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion."  When it comes to the paradoxical relationship between the plans and actions of the United Nations and medical health agencies on the one hand, and the strong evidence that contradicts the benefits of their plans, the quote is more than apt.  On September 20th, government officials and their representatives assembled at the UN, and approved a political declaration on pandemic preparedness, prevention, and response, and a lengthy call to action of its members.  The declaration will privilege the WHO with the authority to oversee pandemics in the future, and the agreement is expected to be signed sometime in 2024.  Among the many items listed for its members, the subject of vaccines is sprinkled throughout numerous times.

Crisis, What Crisis?  World Leaders Skip Latest U.N. Climate Summit.  U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set to host a special climate summit Wednesday noted more for the missing leaders and emissaries of the world's most advanced economies than those in attendance.  Guterres has enthusiastically billed the "Climate Ambition Summit" as a "no nonsense" forum where leaders or cabinet ministers will announce specific actions that deliver on their commitments under the Paris Agreement.  It comes two months after he issued a cataclysmic warning "the era of global boiling is here" as Breitbart News reported.  [Tweet]

Jacinda Ardern Denounces Free Speech at United Nations.  Covid tyrant Jacinda Ardern is no longer in power.  However, she remains a menace to freedom.  Watch her hold forth at the comparably pernicious United Nations regarding the need to suppress dissident speech — or as authoritarian moonbats call it, "mis- and disinformation":  [Tweet with video clip]

Globalist UN Official Calls for More Controls Over Speech, Greater Censorship of the Masses.  Melissa Fleming is the "Chief Communicator" for the United Nations since 2019.  Her bio on her substack page says she promotes a peaceful, sustainable, just and humane world.  This is how she describes herself.  In real life she is anything but that.  Fleming is a power-obsessed narcissist whose goal is to contral everything that you think, read, or hear.  Fleming went viral this week on social media after a recent speech she made was made public.  The woman is a stone-cold tyrant.  Worse than that she is too arrogant to see how vicious she sounds to the masses.  And she claims her expertise is communications?

UN Builds 'Digital Army' to Punish Dissent, Censor Critics.  The globalist United Nations revealed that it is "building a digital army" that would police and censor the speech of the taxpayers online.  The organization doubled down on the narrative about the supposedly serious threat that this new "fight against online misinformation" phenomenon brings to humanity, Slay News reported.  In addition to that, the UN added that it is not satisfied with just censoring "misinformation." The globalist agency upped the ante by starting a war against "deadly disinformation," as the globalists themselves described it.  The international organization warned that "disinformation" is "deadly" and poses an "existential" risk to the core building blocks of modern societies such as "democratic institutions" and "fundamental human rights," the UN wrote in an announcement that was published on their website.

Negotiations Cannot Bring Peace Between the USA and Islam.  [Scroll down]  In the background of these meetings that project endless scenarios for the benefit of the concerned parties stands the United Nations which was originally conceived as a world body that would bring conflicts under a united peacekeeping effort that would be respected by the member nation-states.  However, the UN has been standing on the sidelines as bilateral, trilateral, and multilateral meetings and negotiations have been taking place among affected parties in the Middle East and elsewhere.  So, for example, the UN condemned the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but has stood on the sidelines helplessly huffing and puffing its displeasure while that war proceeds.  This helplessness is largely because Russia is on the Security Council and is thus able to veto any actions taken against itself.  Yet, at the same time, the UN keeps up its dogged connection with world government advocates and a few short years ago unanimously agreed upon Agenda 2030, which establishes the goals for a world government, although the words "world government" do not appear in the Agenda document.

Global boiling?  Don't be ridiculous.  And just like that we've entered a new epoch.  'The era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived', decreed UN chief António Guterres last week.  It's hard to know what's worse: the hubris and arrogance of this globalist official who imagines he has the right to declare the start of an entire new age, or the servile compliance of the media elites who lapped up his deranged edict about the coming heat death of Earth. 'Era of global boiling has arrived and it is terrifying', said the front page of the Guardian, as if Guterres's word was gospel, his every utterance a divine truth.  We urgently need to throw the waters of reason on this delirious talk of a 'boiling' planet.

UN: Don't Call It Global Warming, Call It "Global Boiling".  When you constantly have to rename and rebrand whatever scam you're pushing this week, it's a scam.  Corporations constantly rename certain products to upsell them or make them sound new and exciting.  It's not junk anymore, it's e-junk or smart junk, and it's not global warming anymore, it's climate change.  No wait, that sounds boring.  Let's switch to Global Boiling, that sounds new and exciting.

U.N. Chief Guterres Warns 'Era of Global Boiling' Is Here.  Be afraid.  Be very, very afraid.  United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday night rolled out some of his most apocalyptic climate rhetoric to date declaring "the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived."  He went on to lament how "terrifying" it is seeing children "swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat."  The veteran Portuguese socialist painted his picture of a world in peril during a streamed speech from U.N. headquarters in New York, returning once more to a theme of climate doom he has used almost without respite since he took office.

10 Paradigm Shifts that Shatter Establishment Illusions.  [#4] Just as "RINO" and "Uniparty" have entered our lexicon as profanities, so too has "globalism."  Without respect for the Constitution's express prohibitions or the American public's wishes, Deep State bureaucrats and politicians continue to surrender national sovereignty to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Fund, and their globalist brethren.  Americans have lost their self-determination and are now ruled by an alliance of spy agencies, central banks, multinational corporations, and transnational interest groups posing as charities.  In order to thwart a hegemonic global aristocracy, citizens must defend their national interests.

Amazon tech guru: Eating less beef, more fish good for the planet, and AI helps us get there.  Amazon's top technology officer told the United Nations this week that people will need to eat more fish and less beef if they want to protect the environment, and said artificial intelligence is a tool that is already helping to make that happen.  Dr. Werner Vogels, chief technology officer and vice president of Amazon, told the "AI for Good" global summit in Geneva this week that AI is helping rice farmers and other food producers around the world be much more efficient.  However, he said AI will also play an important role in making sure food comes at a lower cost to the environment.  In his remarks to the conference on July 6, Vogels showed a graphic that said it takes seven times more feed to produce a given amount of protein from a cattle farm compared to a fish farm.

The Editor says...
Count the red flags in the excerpt above:  Do you think an Amazon guru is watching out for your well-being?  No, he's in cahoots with the U.N.  He wants to put artificial intelligence in charge of your food supply.  He doesn't like beef.  And what happened to the Left's great concern about over-fishing?

The U.N. Is Planning To Seize Global 'Emergency' Powers With Biden's Support.  In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark "Summit of the Future," where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future.  The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda platform.  Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new "emergency platform," a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future "global shocks," such as another worldwide pandemic.  Many of the details of the U.N. emergency platform were laid out in a March 2023 policy paper titled "Strengthening the International Response to Complex Global Shocks — An Emergency Platform."

Garbage Thinking and the Desire for a World Government.  In a recent article attacking the false and selfish values of the World Economic Forum and Agenda 2030 of the United Nations, three of the five pillars of Agenda 2030 were revealed as ideological nothingburgers.  All five terms by which Agenda 2030 is introduced are rhetorical devices used to say nothing but, at the same time, to imply that high-mindedness is the seed of the conception of Agenda 2030.  The five terms are People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnership.  The first three were mocked and debunked already.  This outraged rejection of the U.N.'s plans will now expose the superficiality and vapidity of their ideas of Prosperity and Partnership.  [Lengthy discussion and criticism.]  We have considered two of the five horribly deceptive terms put forward to inspire readers as they begin to study Agenda 2030.  One of my goals is to tear the mask of words off the horrible face of world government.  It is a face of greed and lust for power rarely seen since the creation of the world.

Great Reset: Macron Suggests International Taxation System to Subsidise Green Agenda.  French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested the imposition of a global taxation system in order to subsidise the green agenda to mitigate climate change.  Speaking at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris on Friday, Mr Macron argued that actions from individual governments would be insufficient to deal with the alleged armageddon set to descend upon the world and therefore a new international taxation framework should be established.  "I'm in favour of an international taxation to finance efforts that we have to make to fight poverty and in terms of climate [action]," the French president said in comments reported by POLITICO.

The World Economic Forum and U.N. Agenda 2030.  Many articles are being published about the globalist agenda being put forward by the World Economic Forum and its megalomaniacal leadership, first and foremost Klaus Schwab, but also including Bill Gates and a mysterious figure Dr. Yuval Noah Harari who boasts a Ph.D. from Oxford in world history and now teaches at a university in Jerusalem. [...] He founded a company called Sapienship with his "husband," and they are committed to finding solutions to world problems in the areas of technological disruption, ecological collapse, and global war.  One of Harari's most radical views is that human beings lack free will.  He wrote in the Guardian, "Unfortunately, 'free will' isn't a scientific reality.  It is a myth inherited from Christian theology.  Theologians developed the idea of 'free will' to explain why God is right to punish sinners for their bad choices and reward saints for their good choices...."  Here, free will is not accepted as an almost universal premise, but is "Christian theology."  Patently, this premise is false.

The UN is a Terrorist Organization.  The United Nations arose out of the ashes and rubble of World War II with the promise of genuine international cooperation and lasting world peace.  But that promise has long since turned into a cruel joke, as was vividly and revoltingly demonstrated on May 15, when for the first time in its history, the UN observed Nakba Day, the Palestinian Arabs' lamentation over the "catastrophe" of the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948.  Would the UN mark the founding of any other nation as a "catastrophe"?  Of course not.  But the august international body has become a mouthpiece for the most genocidally minded advocates of the "Palestinian" jihad, while the supporters of Israel lack both conviction and unity.

UN Secretary-General Proposes 'Global Digital Compact' to Push Laws Against Online 'Hate'.  United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, proposed a "Global Digital Compact," (GDC) to push sweeping international laws against "hate and lies" online.  "The proliferation of hate & lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm.  This clear & present global threat demands clear and coordinated global action.  We don't have a moment to lose," he wrote in a tweet announcing the compact.  The UN policy brief, which was released on June 12, called for handing control of the internet to international bodies, as part of the UN's 2030 Agenda.  Guterres also referred to another UN brief, "Information and Integrity on Digital Platforms" (IIDP), which he said will be used as a guide to coordinate global efforts against "hate."

US reportedly requests to rejoin UNESCO in reversal of Trump administration withdrawal.  The State Department has notified UNESCO of the United States' decision to rejoin after withdrawing in 2017.  Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma sent a letter to the UN organization June 8 that is presumed to contain a plan of how the country will come back on as a voting member, according to a source cited by Axios.  In an email obtained by the outlet, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay called a meeting between member states slated for Monday to discuss "urgent strategic information."  Then-President Donald Trump withdrew from the organization in 2017 because of its "anti-Israel bias."  However the U.S. was shaping to join again back in December when Congress passed a bill that allotted over $540 million towards the debt it owed to UNESCO since then-President Obama stopped paying dues in 2011.  The State Department is permitted to use the money until the Fall 2025, when it will expire as Azoulay's term ends.  In that same bill, $3.3 billion in military aid was provided to Israel.

WHO is running the club.  [Scroll down]  The World Health Organization (WHO) is an arm of the UN, following the UN script.  The mission of WHO is the is "attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health."  After years of Chinese influence peddling in the organization and years of obfuscation by Beijing over COVID virus origins, at the end of May, China's sometimes-partner North Korea was elected to the Board of the WHO in a term that lasts until 2026.  North Korea joins Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen among others on a board that will determine the organization's agenda and policy prescriptions, and how to spend the organization's $2.1 billion annual budget, about $700 million of which comes from the U.S.

HUH? Biden Appointee Asks The UN For 5 Million Per Black In Reparations, And To End Slavery In America.  Howard Law Professor Justin Hansford addressed the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent last week and called for the establishment of a United Nations Reparations Tribunal that could order the payment of reparations to African Americans.  Professor Hansford objected that white lawyers and politicians have been allowed to control this debate in the United States for too long: [...] Professor Hansford is a scholar who has written extensively on critical race theory.  He has been an advocate for not only reparations but "police abolition."  [Video clip]

U.N. Names 'Climate Change' a Top Threat to Babies.  A U.N.-sponsored study has sounded the alarm on a "silent emergency" of preterm birth rates variously attributed to "climate change" amongst a host of other factors.  The report titled Born Too Soon: Decade of Action on Preterm Birth was produced by the combined efforts of the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).  Overall, it finds preterm birth rates have not changed in any region in the world in the past decade, with 152 million vulnerable babies born too soon from 2010 to 2020.

The Editor says...
[1]Newborn babies aren't left outside in the elements, so they have the least exposure to the climate, whether warm or cold.  [2]The organizations exhibiting all this concern about babies "born too soon" also promote abortion world-wide.  [3]The people who are so alarmed about one-half degree of global warming are the same ones who are trying to do away with air conditioning.

Talking Heads and the Matrix.  [Scroll down]  At the same time, the United Nations has over the decades moved from being a defender of rights (in the American and Western tradition) as seen in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1946) to wanting to become the new world government based on the 17 principles of sustainability (and "meeting needs") presented in its boring prose in the UN Agenda 2030 (approved unanimously in 2015).  Yet, despite its peacekeeping powers and its stated goal of being at least a rudimentary world government by 2030, the UN has said little and done nothing regarding restoring peace in the Russia-Ukraine war.  The UN voted in March of 2022 and February of this year against Russian aggression.  What a farce for an organization that clearly aspires to be our world government.  The UN has shown itself to be a pathetic bystander in this war.  Nobody — left, right, or center — including Tucker C., seems to be inquiring about that.

U.N. Is A Climate "Disinformation Threat Actor".  The United States government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), within the Department of Homeland Security, is raising the alarm about the threat of "foreign influence" that is "leveraging misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation."  CISA defines "malinformation" as information "based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate."  In 2021, CISA, along with the White House and private sector partners, successfully persuaded Facebook and Twitter to censor accurate information about the origins of the SARS-2 coronavirus and covid vaccines.  And yet CISA is failing to do its job when censoring malinformation, misinformation, and disinformation about climate change, including by "threat actors," often funded or employed by foreign governments.

New UN-backed legal recommendations normalize sex with minors, outraged critics say.  A shocking report issued by international legal experts with the backing of the United Nations appears to open the floodgates to normalize sex with minors.  "Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law," the Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists wrote in March with an assist from UNAIDS and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.  The report is titled "The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty."

Biden [Gives] $1 Billion to U.N.'s Flagship Green Climate Fund.  The U.N.'s flagship Green Climate Fund (GCF) will be $1 billion richer [beginning] Thursday [4/20/2023] after President Joe Biden gifts it a cash donation courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.  Biden will announce the billion dollar largesse, effectively doubling the overall U.S. contribution, to the organization which finances "low-carbon and climate-resilient projects in developing countries" while leading a push away from fossil fuels.  The announcement will be made during a virtual meeting of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate (MEF).

Globalists Finally Say It Out Loud: Sex With Minors Is OK — and the UN Is Onboard.  International legal "experts" — backed by the United Nations — have released a report stating sex with minors is perfectly acceptable.  "Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law," according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). [...] Some of the groups involved in this five-year endeavor of evil include the usual suspects of global Marxism: the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the UN Development Programme (UNDP), and of course, no global nod to legal pederasty would be complete without the World Health Organization (WHO).  For those of us paying attention, watching the global commies try to normalize sex with children comes as no surprise.

UN report calls for legalizing pedophilia.  The United Nations has sent yet another disturbing signal that it is working to radically normalize societal movements that are far outside long-accepted cultural norms.  A new report from a UN committee that ostensibly seeks to address issues involving drug abuse, HIV, and homelessness somehow included legal guidance on consensual sex.  As part of that, the report indicates that children under the age of 18 can consent to sexual relations with adults.  In other words, the UN is moving toward the legalization and legitimization of pedophilia.  Pedophiles around the world will surely welcome this news, but at some point, the United States needs to recognize that the United Nations is no longer an organization that seeks the betterment of mankind and should not continue to host its headquarters in our country.

UN agencies say "consensual" sex with kids should be decriminalized in new report.  Do you have a different term for adults who want sex with kids? [...] See how the game is played?  It's not about the adults licking their chops at the opportunity to molest children.  It's about the "evolving capacities" and the "progressive autonomy" of children.  Won't anyone think of the kids?  You would be a monster and a bigot if you denied them the ability to "participate in decisions" involving adults molesting them!

When Will This Climate Madness End?  What do gas ranges, Dutch farmers, and moose have in common?  In a normal everyday context, very little.  But in the world of apocalyptic climate change, everything. [...] In 2021, Biden signed an executive order banning the federal government from purchasing gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035 and requiring federal contracts for all goods and services to be carbon-neutral by 2050.  Despite claims to the contrary, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has already begun the process of banning gas stoves by approving an official Request for Information on the hazards related to them.  At the same time, California is charging ahead with its own environmental plans.  The state will ban the sale of gas-powered water heaters and furnaces by 2030.  In addition, it and six other states intend to ban the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035.  Last Monday, the United Nations released a report saying, "The world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating."  U.N. secretary-general António Guterres said developed countries should attempt to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 instead of 2050.

The Editor says...
Any assertion that the "world is rapidly approaching catastrophic levels of heating" is an outright lie.  The rate of global warming is near zero.  There is no urgnet need to shut down gasoline engines and coal-powered industry.  There is no climate emergency.  There is no crisis.  The U.N. is looking for ways to perpetuate its existence, and the tyrants at the U.N. assume (and hope) that you know nothing about global warming.

UN: Why would we investigate the Nord Stream blasts?  The mystery of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines continues to generate controversy months after the fact.  Last week the Russians asked the United Nations Security Council to investigate the blasts as an act of war.  Yesterday the council held a vote and declined to conduct such an investigation.  The only members voting in favor of the resolution were China, Brazil, and, of course, Russia.  Everyone else either abstained or voted no.  Some of the members voting against the resolution actually offered a fairly good reason.  There is already an investigation underway and it would be premature to jump into the middle of it before we know the results.  But this definitely handed some additional ammunition to Moscow which continues to claim that it had nothing to do with it.

No worries guys, addressing climate change will only cost us $131 Trillion.  The UN came out with another super cool climate change report and the WSJ has a lovely little video about it:  [Video clip]  So how much will it cost to address climate change?  $131 trillion between now and 2050.  That's $131,000,000,000,000.  The entire world's GDP was $85 trillion last year!  A few years ago, the climate change estimate was $98 trillion.  Now it's $131 trillion.  What's it gonna be a few years from now?

The Editor says...
What does it mean to "address climate change?"  Is the U.N. going to stop the weather from changing?  Is the U.N. going to take control of the Sun?  Is the U.N. going to make it impossible for polar ice to melt?  Even if they can round it up, what will all that money buy?  [#2] Why does the U.N. exist?  [#3] Notice that the estimated cost to "address" climate change — which is a weasel word to excuse their failure when they fail to eliminate climate change or any of its effects — is increasing by trillions of dollars per year.  This gives the "problem" a false sense of urgency:  If it isn't addressed right now it will cost trillions more!  When you have to ask, "What's the rush?", the answer is probably deception.

U.N. Is A Climate "Disinformation Threat Actor".  The United States government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), within the Department of Homeland Security, is raising the alarm about the threat of "foreign influence" that is "leveraging misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation." CISA defines "malinformation" as information "based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate."  In 2021, CISA, along with the White House and private sector partners, successfully persuaded Facebook and Twitter to censor accurate information about the origins of the SARS-2 coronavirus and covid vaccines.  And yet CISA is failing to do its job when censoring malinformation, misinformation, and disinformation about climate change, including by "threat actors," often funded or employed by foreign governments.  A Google survey of over 2,300 people conducted last year by the nonpartisan research organization Environmental Progress, which I founded and lead, found that 53% of people surveyed in the U.S. agree with the false statement, "Climate change is making hurricanes more frequent," while 46% agree with the false statement, "Climate change threatens human extinction."

IPCC Issues their Annual Final Climate Warning.  UN climate warnings are like the village communist predicting the imminent demise of capitalism every week — and about as likely to happen. [...] My only concern in this ridiculous charade, is for the naive younger people who take these warnings seriously, and feel distressed that older people are not acting, are not showing any sense of urgency about preventing the imminent end of the world.

The UN Declares War on the 'Poison of Islamophobia'.  [Scroll down]  Think about what he's saying here: Muslims "face bigotry and prejudice for no other reason than their faith."  In other words, Western peoples — the world's most liberal and tolerant people by leaps and bounds — supposedly hate and mistreat Muslims simply and only because the latter have a different belief system.  In the real world, of course, it is precisely the West that developed the idea of religious freedom (which is sorely lacking in Islam).  If anything, the West is the only civilization that looks more favorably on all other belief systems than its own founding faith, Christianity.  The truth is, if there is any "bigotry and prejudice" against Muslims, it is not because Western people are so hostile to those who believe differently from how they do — a position better exemplified by Muslims — but due to any number of Islam's problematic teachings, including terrorizing non-Muslims into subjugation (jihad), executing apostates and blasphemers, treating women as chattel, and legitimizing child marriage (pedophilia), to name a few.

A Grand Canyon of Difference.  My fight against lies and misinformation began at a young age.  I remember being in the first grade and being asked at Christmas to collect money for a United Nations agency called UNICEF — ostensibly, the organization existed to supply food for children in underdeveloped nations.  My dad then showed me an article reporting that Cuba was trading our donated grains to a third-party to buy military vehicles — a manufactured food shortage — and I immediately understood that I was initially sold a lie.  I began distrusting the government and the UN, although I did not yet understand the imperative role that propaganda played in order to elicit loyalty to a central government as its agents starved their own people.  I did not understand how some could behave so inhumanely.  Sadly, I learned to distrust much of what my friends and their parents believed — which was how I came to understand groupthink.  I turned in my donation box to my teacher and told her why.  I can't exactly remember how she took it; but not well.  My dad however was pleased, and bought me a subscription to Human Events, a well-known weekly conservative newspaper.

Biden's 'America Last' Health Treaty.  President Joe Biden's diplomats are negotiating a treaty with the World Health Organization to promote so-called global health equity.  The premise is that in a pandemic or other worldwide disease emergency, Americans should not get better or faster health care than inhabitants of third-world countries.  If Biden rams this through, Americans will suffer and die needlessly.  Under the draft treaty, presented in Geneva on Feb. 1, the U.S. will be obligated to hand over a whopping 20% of its medical supplies, including diagnostic tests, antiviral medications and vaccines, to WHO for global distribution.  Article 10 of the treaty specifies this will be done in "real-time," not after American needs are met.  The U.S. will no longer be able to rush treatments and vaccines to its own citizens, prioritizing them before sending aid to other countries.  Grandma will have to wait longer for her Paxlovid or other treatments because those items, now being stockpiled and paid for by American taxpayers, will be shipped to Nigeria, Uruguay, Afghanistan and other underdeveloped nations.  The WHO will call the shots on which countries get what supplies.

WHO Pandemic Treaty: The Back Door to CCP Control Over America.  America's enemies never stop scheming about the ways in which they can bring the United States down.  China, our greatest external strategic enemy, already has a plan to gain control of America through the next pandemic and United Nations agency channels.  The first stage of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accomplishing this was gaining controlling influence over the U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO), which was achieved when the Chinese groomed Tedros Adhanom Ghbreyesus as a candidate and then got him elected as Director-General of the WHO in 2017.  The WHO's misguided recommendations and harmful policy responses to the Covid-19 China virus included lockdowns and disruptions of holidays; school, church, synagogue, and business closures; social distancing and masking that retarded children's social development — all of which led to economic contraction, bankruptcies, supply chain disruptions and inflation.  That record doesn't enhance the WHO's trust factor, and its ability to deal with future health emergencies and pandemics.

Can the Biden Administration Force Us to Let the World Health Organization Call the Shots When There Is a Pandemic?  [Scroll down]  The zero draft appears to endow the WHO with the authority to "declare and manage a global pandemic emergency," according to the Epoch Times.  "Once a health emergency is declared, all signatories, including the United States, would submit to the authority of the WHO regarding treatments, government regulations such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates, global supply chains, and monitoring and surveillance of populations."  David Bell, a public health physician and a former WHO staffer, told the news outlet that these people "want to see a centralized, vaccine-and-medication-based response, and a very restrictive response in terms of controlling populations."  He added: "They get to decide what is a health emergency, and they are putting in place a surveillance mechanism that will ensure that there are potential emergencies to declare."  This is part of a two-pronged approach to global pandemics.  The World Health Assembly launched an initiative to develop new global pandemic regulations that would also overrule the laws of member states.  "The World Health Assembly is the rule-making body of the WHO, comprised of representatives from the member states," the Epoch Times explained.  "Both [initiatives] are fatally dangerous," said Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law.  "Either one or both would set up a worldwide medical police state under the control of the WHO, and in particular WHO Director-General Tedros."

Republican Senators Push Back Against Accord Giving WHO Power Over US Pandemic Response.  As member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) prepare to gather in Switzerland next week to negotiate final terms of an accord that will give the WHO centralized authority over U.S. policy in the case of a pandemic, Republican senators are pushing back with an effort to reinforce congressional power to authorize treaties.  The draft accord, which would be "legally binding" on all 194 member nations, gives the WHO the authority to declare pandemics and submits member countries to "the central role of the WHO as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work," in areas like lockdowns, treatments, medical supply chains, surveillance, and "disinformation and false news," once a pandemic is declared.

Biden decides to give the WHO authority over U.S. sovereignty.  The World Health Organization, a subsidiary of the United Nations run by a team of bureaucrats in Geneva, soon could have the power to dictate lockdowns, vaccination mandates, social distancing and much more in the United States.  Even surveillance of citizens.  A new report from the Epoch Times explains Joe Biden is getting ready to sign the U.S. up to a "legally binding" deal that would give international politicians authority to make decisions for America during a pandemic.  And he's maneuvering so it won't require approval by the U.S Senate.

Biden Admin Negotiates Deal to Give WHO Authority Over US Pandemic Policies.  The Biden administration is preparing to sign up the United States to a "legally binding" accord with the World Health Organization (WHO) that would give this Geneva-based UN subsidiary the authority to dictate America's policies during a pandemic.  Despite widespread criticism of the WHO's response to the COVID pandemic, U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra joined with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in September 2022 to announce "the U.S.-WHO Strategic Dialogue."  Together, they developed a "platform to maximize the longstanding U.S. government-WHO partnership, and to protect and promote the health of all people around the globe, including the American people."  These discussions and others spawned the "zero draft" of a pandemic treaty, published on Feb. 1, which now seeks ratification by all 194 WHO member states.  A meeting of the WHO's Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) is scheduled for Feb. 27 to work out the final terms, which all members will then sign.

U.N. Chief Guterres Warns of Mass Climate Exodus on a 'Biblical' Scale.  U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres offered his apocalyptic view of the coming climate catastrophe Tuesday [2/14/2023], warning the Security Council that rising seas threaten the very existence of "entire countries."  In his doomsday address, the U.N.'s alarmist-in-chief declared that the danger "is especially acute for nearly 900 million people who live in coastal zones at low elevations — that's one out of ten people on Earth."  "Low-lying communities and entire countries could disappear forever," Guterres asserted.  "We would witness a mass exodus of entire populations on a biblical scale."

The Editor says...
This is nothing more or less than a shakedown by poor countries looking for handouts from wealthier countries.  There are no climate refugees.  There is no climate catastrophe.

The UN wants you to know that words are weapons now, and they lead to cruelty and violence.  It's pretty easy to see where The UN is headed with this new little campaign of theirs.  [Tweet]  Yes, the old "sticks and stones" saying no longer applies in the world of the snowflake.  Because hateful words are literal violence now, and they may actually hurt worse than sticks and stones.  Just listen to Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee:  [Tweet] [...] So whatever you do, don't take this "speech is violence" stuff seriously.  It's just another weapon they're using in an attempt to squash our resistance.

U.N. Tells Rich Countries to Pay $2 Trillion a Year for Climate 'Justice'.  An annual transfer of funds from rich to poor countries, starting at around $2 trillion by 2030 and rising thereafter, is needed for climate "justice" according to a U.N.-backed report released Tuesday.  China has been specifically excluded from the demand for reparations, which includes taxes for fossil fuel companies on their global "carbon profits," even as the Communist state's greenhouse gas emissions now exceed the entire rest of the developed world combined.

UN considers trying to outlaw all fossil fuels on the planet.  The COP27 globalist gathering that recently took place in Egypt came with open calls for a global phase-out of, and eventual ban on, all fossil fuels.  Were this to actually happen, billions of people would die.  A tiny, failing island in the South Pacific called Tuvalu (ever heard of it?) made the proposition using the following quoted statement:  "We, therefore, unite with 100 Nobel Peace Prize laureates and 1000s of scientists worldwide to urge world leaders to join the fossil fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, to manage a just transition away from fossil fuels."  One wonders:  what does Tuvalu mean by the term "just transition?"  Is ending most human life on earth considered by the globalists to be the "just" thing to do?  Because that it what eliminating all fossil fuel usage would do.

UN claims climate catastrophe now almost unavoidable.  Three [...] new reports from the United Nations claim that the planet is in dire, imminent danger because the nations of the world are not adequately mobilizing against climate change. [...] United Nations secretary-general António Guterres stated, "Loss and damage from the climate emergency is getting worse by the day and global and national climate commitments are falling pitifully short.  Under current policies, the world is headed for 2.8 degrees of global heating by the end of the century.  In other words, we are headed for a global catastrophe."  Guterres added that the only way to change this tragic trajectory is with "urgent system-wide transformation."  (Translation: "Wealthy, Western, free-market nations must sacrifice themselves for the good of posterity because no one else will.)  Naturally.  Most of the countries constituting the United Nations want the U.S., in particular, to stop exhibiting "ableism" and to shut down its previously highly productive and efficient extraction and manufacturing industries.

[#1] Nobody knows what the weather will be like in 80 years.  Nobody can predict next week's temperatures within two degrees, because weather is chaotic.  [#2] A temperature increase of two degrees might not be a bad thing.  There's no certainty that a "catastrophe" will result — especially in places like Finland and Greenland.  [#3] There is no climate emergency.  The claim that "Loss and damage from the climate emergency is getting worse by the day" is not supported by evidence.  Where is the damage?  How is today's damage worse than yesterday's?  There is no damage.

New Zealand prime minister condemned for calling to regulate free speech as a 'weapon of war' at UN.  New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was blasted for comparing free speech online to "weapons of war" in a recent speech to the U.N. that critics called "authoritarian."  At the U.N. General Assembly on Friday, Ardern announced a new initiative "to help improve research and understanding of how a person's online experiences are curated by automated processes," saying the work, done in partnership with companies and non-profits, will be "important in understanding more about mis- and disinformation online — A challenge that we must as leaders address."  The prime minister acknowledged that calling to regulate speech online in any way can seem problematic.

Biden and DC Sure Know How to Put America Last.  Joe Biden spoke today at the United Nations and delivered a swan song for globalism and climate change alarmism, while imagining that the United States was still enjoying a unipolar moment of unparalleled wealth and power that his ilk frittered away.  What else can explain Joe Biden's de facto "Europe First" foreign policy, and his inability to call out the wealthy moochers of Europe who talk a good game about Russia and Ukraine but have reneged on their promises to pay for more defense.  Also in the weakness department, Biden said nothing about the Mexican and Latin American governments sitting before him that do nothing to stem the tide of illegals invading America, or the criminal networks that facilitate them.  The icing on the cake was telling the Chinese government most of what it wanted to hear.

UN diplomat dodges NYC rape rap thanks to diplomatic immunity: cops.  A United Nations diplomat was accused of raping one of his neighbors in Upper Manhattan over the weekend — but NYPD cops released him because he has diplomatic immunity, authorities said Monday [8/22/2022].  Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46 — a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in South Sudan — was arrested in Sunday's alleged sex assault on a woman inside her apartment around noon, according to a police report obtained by The [New York] Post.  Oliha was taken into custody on suspicion of rape and brought in for questioning, cops said.  But once he informed detectives from the NYPD's Special Victims Unit that he was a diplomat, investigators confirmed he had immunity and swiftly released him without formally charging him, police said.

UN Recruited Over 100,000 'Digital First Responders' to Push Establishment COVID Narrative.  At the height of the pandemic, the United Nations recruited over 100,000 "digital first responders' to push the establishment narrative on COVID via social media.  The revelation actually slipped out in October 2020 during a World Economic Forum podcast called 'Seeking a cure for the infodemic', although it is only going viral on Twitter today.  In the podcast, Melissa Fleming, head of global communications for the United Nations, explains how the COVID pandemic and lockdowns created a "communications crisis" in addition to a public health emergency.  Fleming acknowledged that in order to fight so-called "misinformation" about the pandemic, the UN tapped up 110,000 people to amplify their messaging across social media.

Take a Look At The Sexual Propaganda Displayed In A 5th Grade Classroom At The United Nations International School In NYC.  Posters promoting cross-dressing, gender fluidity, social justice and "sustainability" are plastered on the walls of a fifth-grade classroom at the United Nations International School in New York City.  "Proud are the brave," a poster featuring a man dressed in drag states.  "Be true to you."  "All that matters is that we are in love.  Love knows no gender and no hate," the caption on the photo continues.  "Lets celebrate and flaunt our true colors and be proud of it."

UN peacekeepers from 12 countries 'have fathered and abandoned thousands of children' over past 20 years in Democratic Republic of Congo, study claims.  A shocking new report has claimed that UN peacekeepers from 12 different countries have fathered and then abandoned thousands of children in poverty-stricken Democratic Republic of Congo since 1999.  The report also claims that soldiers and police operating under a UN mandate in the war torn country have abused children, raped young women and traded food for 'survival sex.'  One victim was just ten years old when her aunt trafficked her to UN peacekeepers who plied her with beer, raped her and got her pregnant, the report states.

A WEF Op-ed Is Calling for Global Censorship.  We Really Need to Cut Ties With These Commies.  I've always said that most institutions with the words "international" or "world" in their titles are globalist, pinko organizations.  Examples include the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Economic Forum (WEF). [...] An op-ed article appeared on the WEF website, claiming there is a need for a form of global censorship.  It doesn't say, "We need global censorship," because the commies are too clever to be that blunt.  They offer to shred our rights the way the bolshies always have, by saying it's for the betterment of the people.  In this case, they call for cracking down on "the radicalization of extreme opinions, the spread of misinformation and the wide reach of child sexual abuse material (CSAM)."

U.N. War On Fertilizer Began in Sri Lanka.  The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) describes itself as "the global authority that sets the environmental agenda... and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment."  Through its "Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity for Agriculture and Food" program launched in 2014, the UNEP advocates that nations "steer away from the prevailing focus on per hectare productivity."  But today the world is in its worst food crisis since 2008.  The number of people suffering acute food insecurity increased by 25% since January 2022 to 345 million, according to the United Nations World Food Programme.  Why, then, is the UNEP trying to steer nations away from fertilizers that increase food production?

United Nations:  Embrace High Gas Prices For The Sake Of Mother Earth.  Climate experts commissioned by the U.N. will release what is claimed to be the definitive guide to "halting global warming" on Monday, in a report ordering how societies and economies must transform to ensure a "liveable" future.  The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is responsible for the publication designed to shape the global climate response in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.  AFP reports the IPCC published the first two instalments earlier this year in a trilogy of mammoth scientific assessments covering how greenhouse gas pollution is claimed to be heating the planet and what that means for life on Earth.

The Fantasy World of the United Nations.  The UN has become, as Volodymyr Zelensky on April 5, 2022, told the UN Security Council, a venue for "conversation," not one for action to stop aggression by Russia, a country that "has turned the right of veto into a right to die."  The question can be raised of whether it has become a negative factor in the search for international justice and peace.  The partiality of the UN was shown in the past by its disproportionate behavior.  The UN General Assembly held a moment of silence to honor North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il.  It refused to honor Vaclav Havel, freedom fighter, who died the day after Kim in 2011.  The UN has been more often prominent for its lack of efficiency in preventing conflicts and in being the venue for expressions of anti-Semitism and appeasement, than in championing international justice.

UN chief calls for extreme weather warning systems for everyone on Earth.  Everyone on the planet should be covered by an early warning system against extreme weather and climate-related disasters within five years, the UN secretary general has said.  About a third of people around the world are not now covered by early warning systems, but in Africa the problem is greater, with about six in 10 people lacking such warnings.  As climate breakdown takes hold, more people are likely to be affected by extreme weather, including flash floods, heatwaves, more violent storms and coastal storm surges, made worse by sea level rises.

The climate is not breaking down.  The sea level is rising imperceptibly.  Bad weather is nothing new.

John Kerry Promises U.N. $10 Billion in U.S. Taxpayer Dollars Annually for 'Climate Crisis'.  Climate czar John Kerry told an informal U.N. Security Council meeting on Wednesday that President Joe Biden is committed to increasing U.S. funding to developing countries by upwards of $10 billion annually to help combat the "climate crisis."  Kerry told the meeting on "Climate Finance for Sustaining Peace and Security" U.S. taxpayer dollars will be forthcoming and placed at the disposal of the globalist body to help redistribute wealth in a time of crisis to poorer countries that need it most.

[#1] No "combat" is necessary, for indeed there is no climate crisis.  [#2] Where did either Kerry or Biden get the authority to give an extra $10 billion to the U.N. — every year?

We're Comparatively the Planet's Cleanest Country - Why the Bipartisan Push to Tax Our Carbon?  The US has the world's largest economy — which requires the world's largest energy supply.  But by rate of energy use versus output of pollution, the United States is undoubtedly the cleanest country on the planet. [...] We here in the US should, by now, know global organizations exist solely to stick it to US.  The United Nations?  The World Health Organization?  The International Telecommunications Union?  The North Atlantic Treaty Organization?  All of these and more exist to take potshots at the US — and make the US pay exorbitantly for the privilege.  We here in the US should, therefore, not promote domestic policies that comport with the World's ridiculous anti-US perspective.

UN report:  Climate change already so severe humans nearing adaptation limits.  A comprehensive new United Nations-sponsored assessment of climate change finds that global warming is reshaping the world more rapidly and severely than was known several years ago.  The report finds that climate change is affecting every person's physical and mental health, and classifies nearly half of the global population as being "highly vulnerable" to climate impacts.

The Editor says...
For all practical purposes, there is no global warming.  There is no climate crisis, and although the climate is constantly changing, the changes are happening so gradually that you'll never notice — unless you watch too much television.  Nobody is having to consciously adapt to a rapidly-changing climate.  The United Nations routinely lies about global warming, among other things, because it is engaged in a never-ending quest for increased political power.

US expels 12 Russian 'intelligence operatives' at the United Nations.  The United States government says it is expelling 12 Russian "intelligence operatives" from the Russian Mission to the United Nations over national security concerns.  A spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations announced Monday [2/28/2022] the U.S. is "beginning the process" of expelling these individuals as part of a process that has "been in the works for several months," though the move comes less than a week into Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

UN Planes In Ontario, North Bay - Shocked Canadians Believe They Carry The "Green Shirt" Officers In Ottawa.  Who would have thought that Canada would ever be a spark plug for a freedom movement against tyranny?  Everything started when Ottawa's police chief was ousted amid criticism of his inaction against the trucker protests that have paralyzed Canada's capital for over two weeks, while the number of blockades maintained by demonstrators at the U.S. border dropped to just one.  The twin developments came a day after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked Canada's Emergencies Act and threatened to take tough legal and financial measures to end the unrest in Ottawa and beyond by protesters decrying the country's COVID-19 restrictions and Trudeau's government.  Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly lost his job after failing to move decisively against the bumper-to-bumper demonstration by hundreds of truck drivers according to the mainstream media.  Local sources alleged that he just didn't want to follow orders that would require stomping on Canada's democracy!

The Reason for the Police Violence in Ottawa is Not What You Think.  The black clad army of mercenaries and police brutalizing a peaceful protest in Ottawa this weekend has been planned for years.  It is overkill for a reason.  It is theatre.  It is an othering, a willful flagrant statement on the future of the working class everywhere.  It instructs them:  you will die.  If not now, then sometime in the next ten years.  Your towns will be gutted, your jobs will evaporate, you will scramble for pennies until you fall over dead and your children will have nothing to look forward to.  You are Tutsi, you are Jew, you are Kulak, you are compromador, you are Othered.  You are headed for the slagheap of history.  Fight back and you will be deemed domestic terrorists and encamped indefinitely.  This week, Canada's intelligentsia unmasked themselves as fully on side of this demonic enterprise, competing to hate on the truckers.

Now the UN is 'helping' rejected migrants recover 'repressed memories' to get asylum status.  Todd Bensman, who's doing yeoman's work on the international rackets enabling big migrant surges at the U.S. border, has found the United Nations at the nexus of the matter, aiding and abetting illegal immigration into the U.S., and not for the first time. [...] How very convenient.  And how very phony.  So many rejected migrants now have repressed memories of torture and political persecution that all of them now qualify for asylum status in the states.  All they have to do is visit one of these United Nations-funded chop shops and they'll cook up a good narrative for them to present.  The 'science' of 'repressed memories' has long been a controversial matter, given that most of it is junk science.

Why does the United States host and support the United Nations, while the UN is actively undermining the U.S.?

As Iran was about lose its UN General Assembly vote for nonpayment of dues, the US arranged funds to cover the debt and keep Iran voting.  The Trump administration's sanctions on Iran were working so well that the mullahs were unable to put together the money to pay up on its United Nations dues.  Not after paying much higher priority bills, such as supplying weapons to the Houthis fighting our allies in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and supporting Hezb'allah's attacks in Israel.  Or engaging in joint naval maneuvers with Russia and China. [...] Imagine if President Trump had bailed out the UN arrears of a US foe.  The articles of impeachment would have been drafted within hours.

In Mexico's Deep South, the United Nations [is] Handing Cash to U.S.-Bound Migrants.  The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), which receives billions in U.S. taxpayer money, is handing out cash debit cards and other funds for lodging and prescription medicines to U.S.-bound migrants who spill out into this southern Mexican city by the hundreds of thousands.  Every day, word of the UN's cash assistance draws long lines of hopeful U.S.-bound migrants to a large, grey building staffed by application-takers and interviewers who determine who gets the money.  Haitian Luis Ponce was in line one recent day, not to get his application going, but to complain to the officials inside that the UN is in arrears.  The international agency had not recharged his debit card-linked local bank account, a yellow and gray plastic affair with a UNHCR/ACNUR insignia in the upper third left corner, with the 3,600 pesos owed (about $180).  "We don't have money now," Ponce complained, flashing the empty card.

Hold on to that empty debit card, Luis.  In some places, that's all the ID you need to vote

The #1 reason the UN has no credibility whatsoever.  What do China, Cuba, and Russia have in common?  They sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council and violate human rights.  It is a travesty, as Virginia Kruta counts the Top 10:
  [#10]   Pakistan
   [#9]   Mauritania
   [#8]   Qatar
   [#7]   Somalia
   [#6]   Russia
   [#5]   Libya
   [#4]   Cuba
   [#3]   Eritrea
   [#2]   Venezuela
   [#1]   China
As Hillel Neuer points out, Cuba's credentials are just what you are looking for for a seat in a human rights group:  ["]a 60-year totalitarian regime; bans free speech, association; blocks vital food & medical aid; infiltrates & subverts entire hemisphere; drug trafficking; sends doctors abroad as slave labor.["]  And then there is China, that beacon of democracy and human rights.  And Venezuela, another charmer when it comes to respecting its citizens.

The reality of One World government.  America's debt is $31.4 trillion, as just agreed to by the United States Congress.  Service on this debt is astronomical and virtually unsustainable if interest rates rise.  The alternative to the elite is God-centered governance, not Man-centered, in line with Judeo-Christian Moral Law.  This is the model that the American Constitutional Republic represents.  Elite international banking partially operates, since WWII, through the auspices of many organizations and agencies of the United Nations.  The UN also includes international courts and bureaucracies that would replace our own.  The intellectual elite has devised a seemingly impenetrable web of structures with such elaborate interconnections, including tax-exempt Foundations and secret societies, that no one can unravel the whole scheme.

United Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration.  During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers.  One of two workers at a plastic folding table inside the Reynosa camp, which was filled to capacity with at least 1,200 mostly U.S.-expelled Central Americans, said they were distributing the cards for IOM to help migrants waiting until they cross the Rio Grande at greater leisure to claim asylum, for which most will be declared ineligible years later.  Many parents, for instance, got about $400 every 15 days, I was told, or $800 a month if they were still there to collect it, although the support level varied.

The Danger for Mankind Is Not the Climate, but Toleration of a Devious Policy that Uses Climate To Destroy Us!  All the symptoms of a collapsing system are right before our eyes, if we care to see them:  an economic system in which the balance between cost and benefit is totally out of balance, an accelerating hyperinflation that devours our earnings, a good healthcare system that only the rich can afford, an education system that teaches neither excellence nor moral values, an out-of-control woke culture that turns people against each other, a disastrous geopolitical confrontation policy against alleged rivals — and the list could go on and on!  All these manifestations of crisis have a common cause:  We in the West are living under the dictatorship of a financial oligarchy, for which the common good is nonexistent, and whose sole interest is to maximize its own privileges.  An oligarchy that needs "endless wars" to generate income for its military-industrial complex, and promotes the production and distribution of mind-destroying drugs, both illegal and legalized, the latter because the financial system would have collapsed long ago without the input of laundered drug money.  And given that this system is now hopelessly bankrupt, the entire economic and financial system is now supposed to be converted to so-called green technologies in a final great coup — the Great Reset.  Under the pretext of climate protection, the motto for this conversion is "Shifting the Trillions."  And it's happening now!

Ri-i-i-ight.
Taliban Wants U.N. Funds To Protect 'Fragile Environment'.  The Taliban hears the U.N.'s call for "global climate action" now being aired at the COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, with the terrorist organization offering to tackle Afghanistan's "fragile environment" alongside foreign agencies and, just as importantly, their funding.  Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen lamented "tremendous work" was needed to help Afghanistan become greener and finance for environmental projects which had been approved for U.N. funding under the former Afghan government must "fully resume work."

Bizarre UN Video Warns Humans About Coming 'Climate Disaster' Extinction.  In a truly bizarre video released by the United Nations Development Programme on Wednesday, a talking computer-generated dinosaur warns humans that they must take urgent action to avoid what our histrionic friends in the Democrat Party are fond of calling "the existential threat of our time" — climate change (or whatever they're now calling it) action to avoid extinction.  Yes, the extinction of mankind is apparently right around the global warming corner if we don't get [...] in gear and stop being mean to the planet and our environment before we enter into irreversible climate armageddon.  And of course, the talking dinosaur has a name:  Frankie the Dino.

The climate is changing so little and so slowly that the global average temperature will make an imperceptible small change over the course of your lifetime.  Nobody is going to be extinct.  You will never meet a "climate refugee."  People don't move from one country to another because of bad weather.  There will never be a war fought over global warming.  Most of all, the climate will never be affected by legislation.

Redistribution of wealth is what the phony "climate crisis" is all about.
Poorest countries to gain from new climate funding plan to break Cop26 impasse.  The world's poorest countries are set to benefit from a new climate funding plan to help them cope with the impacts of climate breakdown, in an effort to break the impasse between developed and developing countries at the UN Cop26 climate summit[.]  The UK government, as Cop26 host, will unveil the proposals on Monday along with ministers from Germany and Canada, who have been charged with drawing up a plan for climate finance, needed to gain the backing of scores of developing countries for any deal at the talks, which open in Glasgow next Sunday.

U.N. Warns of Global 'Famine, Chaos, Terrorism and... War' if COP26 Climate Summit Fails.  Any failure by the Cop26 summit in Glasgow to deliver an agreement on future trans-national climate controls could plunge the world into chaos, sparking migration crises alongside food shortages, political disorder and war, the U.N.'s top climate official warned Sunday [10/24/2021].  Patricia Espinosa, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, made her bleak prediction ahead of the opening of the convention on November 1.

The Editor says...
If the United Nations implodes and disappears tomorrow, the climate will still change just as slowly and relentlessly as it always has.  No amount of taxing and spending will change the weather.  But it is the job of a "top climate official" to keep sounding the alarm — never actually fixing the problem, of course — and it is the news media's job to report and repeat whatever the government says.  War is not caused by bad weather.  Neither is any of the other stuff listed above.

The Specter of One World Government Looms Large.  The U.N.'s Agenda 2030 is still in place, and the clock is ticking toward its empowerment — only eight years and two-plus months to go.  This Agenda is for a new world government, which will implement the policies of the Agenda.  This new government on our horizon explains many of the failures in policies in these first months of the Biden administration.  The failures are based not so much on mistakes as on deliberate sabotage to weaken our country, dilute the power that undergirds our sovereignty, and prepare us to accept one world government.  The seed ideas for Agenda 2030 began with Pres.  Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations in his Fourteen Points at the end of WWI. [...] With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, all right-thinking persons can see that Woodrow Wilson's first giant step toward globalism was rightly rejected.  The League was a complete failure in terms of bringing peace to the world.  To the German Nazi government, the League was a joke.

Timeline of The Great Reset, Remaking the World Into a 1984 Dystopia.  There is an excellent timeline of The Great Reset at The Sociables.  It's very informative, complete with videos and links.  The following is simply a brief overview of the timeline.  It is worthwhile to look at the full article which traces it from The Great Reset's foundation in 2014 on, until its present incarnation.  It's 2014 and a technocrat Nazi has an idea for a great reset of the world economy.  It will work if the entire planet is in on it, Tim Hinchliffe, editor of The Sociables writes.  A pandemic could make it happen.  "The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world to create a healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous future," Klaus Schwab, President of the World Economic Forum (WEF) said.  It took Schwab and the Davos elite about six years to watch their great reset ideology grow from a tiny Swiss seed in 2014 to a European super-flower pollinating the entire globe in 2020.

Biden preaches 'dignity' at U.N.  President Biden went before the United Nations this week to lecture the world about "dignity."  "Will we affirm and uphold the human dignity and human rights under which nations in common cause more than seven decades ago, formed this institution?" he wondered, just weeks after Afghan civilians tumbled through the skies from a U.S. military transport plane in the wake of Mr. Biden's historically disastrous retreat from Afghanistan.  "People have taken to the streets in every region to demand that their governments address peoples' basic needs, give everyone a fair shot to succeed, and protect their God-given rights," he lectured, weeks after handing Afghanistan back to Taliban terrorists who beat women for not cooking them meals.

Biden Doubles US climate change fund to $11BN a year and commits $10BN to feed poor people across the world.  President Joe Biden made his first major address before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday [9/21/2021], announcing new financial commitments as he tried to reestablish the U.S.'s place in the global community.  Biden said he'd ask Congress to double the amount of money for public climate financing — to about $11 billion a year — while also devoting $10 billion to curb hunger.

The Editor says...
What is "climate financing?"  It sounds like a bottomless money pit.

Biden administration worried UN General Assembly meeting could turn into COVID superspreader event.  The White House is concerned that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting in New York, which kicked off last week, could be a COVID-19 superspreader event.  'We are concerned about the U.N. event being a superspreader event, and that we need to take all measures to ensure that it does not become a superspreader event,' President Joe Biden's Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said during a press conference Friday [9/17/2021].  World leaders began descending on New York City last week for the annual meeting, and Thomas-Greenfield notes they aren't necessarily abiding by local vaccine requirements and other coronavirus-related restrictions.

NYC's Demand That Diplomats Follow Vaccine Mandate Creates Uproar At UN.  New York City's (legally questionable) demand that all representatives and diplomats who attend next week's UN General Assembly meeting show proof of vaccination is threatening to derail the annual summit of world leaders as Russia and China protest the fact that their locally developed vaccines won't be accepted.  NYC's request that diplomats and their entourage show proof of vaccination before being admitted somehow received the backing of General Assembly President Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid.  In a statement released on Wednesday, NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio and International Affairs Commissioner Penny Abeywardena thanked UN diplomats ahead of time for "working with us", calling them "true New Yorkers".

UN Demands $600 Million in Taxpayer Money to Help the Taliban.  The United Nations has called on Western countries around the world to donate $600 million in taxpayer money to help the Taliban settle in after taking over Afghanistan.  On Monday [9/13/2021], the U.N. opened a high-level donors conference with demands for member states to help fund the terrorist group's self-declared Islamic Caliphate of Afghanistan over the next three months.  The Taliban has promised that it will disperse the funds to Afghans most in need, the U.N. assured potential contributors.  The calls are being led by the globalist body's Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in a move that seemingly recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

Taliban gangs are reportedly marauding the streets of Kabul hunting girls as young as 12 for sex slaves.  Victorious Taliban fighters have been filmed trying out a fun fair while militants reportedly go door-to-door in the Afghan capital looking for interpreters and Western allies, amid allegations that gangs are marauding the streets of other cities hunting girls as young as 12 they can make their sex slaves.  Chilling reports have emerged of Islamist militants stalking cities across Afghanistan for women and girls after the terror group swept across the country and seized Kabul virtually unopposed, bringing the 20-year Western intervention to a climactic end.  Jihadist commanders are reportedly ordering imams in areas they have captured to bring them lists of unmarried women aged from 12 to 45 for their soldiers to marry because they view them as 'qhanimat' or 'spoils of war' — to be divided up among the victors.

Meanwhile, back at the U.N. ...
UNICEF chief has 'not a single issue with the Taliban' after leaders express support for girls' education.  An official in the United Nations Children's Fund on Tuesday said he was "optimistic" after some Taliban leaders expressed support for girls' education following the militant group's seizure of much of Afghanistan, including the capital of Kabul.  Mustapha Ben Messaoud, UNICEF's chief of field operations in the embattled country, indicated that he visited with Taliban representatives in the conquered territories of Kandahar, Herat, and Jalalabad, among others.  Messaoud said some Taliban leaders want schools "up and running," while others are awaiting guidance from higher-ups.

'A Pitiful, Helpless Giant'.  [Scroll down]  This disaster itself followed an invitation from the Biden Administration to the human rights specialists of the United Nations to assess and report on America's status in fighting racism within its own borders.  The personnel of the United Nations and its agencies are notoriously hostile to the principal Western countries and perversely confide such functions as the assessment of the state of human rights to countries that make no pretense whatsoever of having any respect for individual liberties — and frequently no respect for notions of racial equality either.  It is inconceivable that any country could look upon this request by the United States to be monitored and evaluated by the United Nations as anything but an act of unimaginable naïvité or uncontrollable masochism.

The Agenda for Serfdom in the Land of the Free.  Agenda 21 was introduced at the U.N. Earth Summit in 1992, along with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), as the "comprehensive blueprint for the reorganization of human society." Together, they toll the death knell for wealth creation and economic and personal liberty, based on the fallacious assumption that development will lead to the extinction of life on Earth.  With top-down controls, they aim to end local power and vest it in a global governance system.  Environment protection is the excuse and weapon for this draconian program to fundamentally transform human lives, force citizens to surrender their liberties, and enforce socialist global control.  The agenda is political.

UN routinely warns us that we have just a few years left until catastrophe.  [Thread reader]  In 1972, half a century ago, Maurice Strong, first UN Environment Programme director warned that the world had just 10 years to avoid catastrophe[.]  In 1982, Tolba, head of UN Environment Programme told the world that it had just 18 years before an environmental catastrophe as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust[.]  In 1989, a senior UN official warns Associated Press that we have to fix climate change by 1999 or climate change goes beyond human control[.]  In 1990, Tolba, head of UN Environment Programme told the world must fix global warming before 1995 — Otherwise, we'd lose the climate struggle[.]  In 2019, all the greats of the UN met to tell us that we have just 11 years to fix climate[.]

Pants On Fire:  U.N. Issues Another Climate Report.  [Scroll down]  In short, the IPCC has a habit of doctoring the summaries in an effort to frighten and manipulate the public.  And it's been doing so for some time.  According to Canadian academic and author Tim Ball, while the 2001 IPCC report "was the most influential in establishing global warming as a serious threat demanding political action," it "also achieved another distinction, unknown to the media, public and politicians."  A "disconnect between the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) and the Science Report Of Working Group 1," he said, was particularly extreme.  "So much of the so-called science the IPCC created was to amplify the threat of human-produced CO2 to global warming," Ball wrote.  "The political mandate was the ultimate arbiter of what and how an issue was included."  When Ball wrote that six years ago, he wondered "how long the IPCC can stay in business and continue to push" its "totally discredited" hypothesis that man is warming his planet.  The 2021 report unfortunately indicates that the answer might be "forever."

'Nowhere to run': UN report says global warming nears limits.  Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday [8/9/2021] that the United Nations called a "code red for humanity."  "It's just guaranteed that it's going to get worse," said report co-author Linda Mearns, a senior climate scientist at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research.  "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide." [...] The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and "unequivocal" and "an established fact," makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than it did last time it was issued in 2013.

Woo-woo-woo!  Ding-ding!  The U.N. issues a report!  What are they reporting, other than their own opinions?  Notice these three aspects of the typical UN alarmist report:  [#1] They say "climate change [is] clearly human-caused."  Did the climate not change before humans were around?  Did the climate ever change before the industrial revolution?  Did a hurricane ever hit the U.S. before the widespread use of the internal combustion engine?  [#2] Notice that they don't sound the alarm about global warming in February.  In the middle of August, it's much more believable.  [#3] Notice that the UN never comes out with a report saying it's already too late to stop the thermal runaway condition, no matter what we do.  They will never say this because the problem must always get more and more urgent, so the UN can be given more and more money and power.  If they ever say it's too late, the money would stop.

Why does Biden team ask thuggish regimes to lecture US on racism?  The Biden administration's racial obsessions have turned into a shameful fetish for national self-flagellation.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken has joined the discordant chorus of those who seem to believe the locus of evil in the modern world is the United States of America.  By requesting the United Nations to investigate and adjudge American racism, Blinken has abased himself and significantly harmed U.S. diplomatic standing.  Instead, he should be inviting international observers to learn from the great and moral example of American freedom and beneficence.

Joe Biden's Misery Index Rises.  Next to Biden's assimilation of measures to assure fair elections to the Civil War, the most depressing utterance by a U.S. government official last week was Secretary of State Antony Blinken's request of United Nations officials to be the "scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia in the United States."  This is a mission for which the moral elevation of the Iranians, Chinese, Russians, and North Koreans, perfectly prepares them.  The rabbits are chasing the hunters, the children are operating the candy store, and the lunatics are running the asylum.

Nikki Haley Torches Blinken For Asking UN To Investigate Racism In America.  Former Republican South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley criticized Secretary of State Antony Blinken for asking the United Nations to investigate racism in the United States.  Haley, who also previously served as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., called the move "insane" and "dangerous."  She argued that the United Nations should be focusing first on human rights abuses such as the Chinese Communist Party's treatment of the Uyghur Muslim population or the government crackdown on freedom protesters in Cuba.  [Video clip]  Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Haley what she thought of reports that Blinken had invited the U.N. to assist in investigating racism in the United States.  "First of all, I thought the Biden administration was extreme leftist.  This is flat-out insane," Haley began.  "The idea that — you've got a million Muslim Uyghurs being tortured.  You've got people being bullied and beaten in the streets of Cuba.  You have Venezuelans that are arresting political protesters — all of which Biden chooses to sit with on the Human Rights Council and the U.S. is asking the United Nations — a cesspool of political bias — to come into the United States and investigate us on human rights?"

The American Descent into Madness.  [Scroll down]  Finally, almost all Americans used to agree that the U.S. Constitution was unique and guaranteed personal freedom in a way the United Nations charter could not.  Dozens of fascist, Communist, totalitarian, and authoritarian regimes, usually the majority of governments on earth, ensured that any General Assembly or U.N. committee ruling would parrot the views of its illiberal and corrupt members.  Not anymore.  Biden's secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has invited in the U.N. to assess whether the United States meets global standards of justice or, in fact, is racist and in need of global censure:  "I urge all U.N. member states to join the United States in this effort, and confront the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia," he said last week.  That is like asking Libya in 2001 to assess whether our airline pilot training met proper standards or having China adjudicate the conditions in U.S. prisons.

Secretary of State Blinken Invites United Nations to Investigate Racism in the U.S..  Democrats, specifically members of the Biden administration, frequently insult the United States of America by claiming that our country has a problem of systemic racism.  The only thing that could be worse is for them to invite a corrupt, hypocritical body like the United Nations to investigate those claims.  They did just that.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomes UN probe of 'racism' in US.  The United Nations — whose World Health Organization arm was just panned for its probe of the COVID-19 pandemic's origins confined to guidelines set by the Chinese Communist Party — has been formally invited by the Biden administration to investigate "the scourge of racism, racial discrimination, and xenophobia" in the US, according to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.  "As the President has repeatedly made clear, great nations such as ours do not hide from our shortcomings; they acknowledge them openly and strive to improve with transparency," said Blinken in a statement released Tuesday.  "It is in this context that the United States intends to issue a formal, standing invitation to all UN experts who report and advise on thematic human rights issues," he continued.  "As a first step, we have reached out to offer an official visit by the UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism and the UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues."

The seven countries holding out against the US-backed global minimum tax.  Two more countries have expressed support for a global minimum tax, cutting the total number of holdouts down to just seven.  Peru and the Caribbean nation of St.  Vincent and the Grenadines have now signed on to the global minimum tax agreement, joining 130 other countries, including the G-20, representing the world's 20 largest economies.  The two countries had not signed on to the plan when it was first announced earlier this month.  The two additional countries joined in recent days before the G-20 met in Venice, Italy, over the weekend to discuss a variety of pressing global issues, including the tax proposal, according to a list of countries published by the OECD and updated on Friday.

U.N. Rights Chief Demands Reparations for 'Slavery, Colonial Rule, and Racism'.  The U.N. human rights chief on Monday demanded comprehensive reparations be made to compensate countries that have suffered what she called the deadly legacies of slavery, colonial rule and racial discrimination.  Former Chilean Socialist President Michelle Bachelet presented to the U.N. Human Rights Council a report she hopes will change the definition of racism and highlight its impact.  It comes after her intervention last month calling on the world to immediately dismantle systemic racism against people of African descent and "make amends" to the oppressed while groups like Black Lives Matter should receive "funding, public recognition and support."

Forget About Making Peace with the Islamic World.  On the banks of the East River in New York City stands the Temple of Peace, the huge United Nations building that claims to be its repository, but which in reality is the ultimate Temple to Hypocrisy.  The worshippers of "Peace" are the supreme idealists who never abandon their dreams, even if their naïve acts lead them to inadvertently make tyrants stronger and create living nightmares for the very victims for whom they claim they are bringing peace.  If a nation desires peace with its neighbor, but that neighbor implacably rejects peace, then any imposed peace process from outside is nothing more than a handmaiden to futility or worse.  The peacemaker often creates a catastrophic erosion of security for the peace-loving nation, which because of its peaceful intentions is the only party that is then leaned upon to make endless and one-sided concessions to a belligerent enemy.  Such has been the curse of the peace process for Israel in its attempts to survive relentless Arab and Muslim aggression.

UN elects China, Iran to women's rights commission.  China and Iran are both known as human rights abusers.  Iran is not only known for allowing the underage marriage of girls, but women are also heavily restricted in their physical mobility, education, financial independence, work opportunities, and pay.  More than 400 Iranian women are killed annually in "honor killings."  In addition to capping the number of children women can have at two, China has worked to decrease birth rates among Uyghurs.  The country has also forced minority women to take pregnancy tests and receive forced sterilization, birth control, and abortions.  The UN's move was slammed by human rights groups.

Pompeo calls Thomas-Greenfield's 'slavery' comments 'reprehensible'.  Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed comments from UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield that "slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents" — saying the remarks are "reprehensible" and should disqualify her from representing American interests around the world.  "America is a noble place," Pompeo told "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM in an interview that aired Sunday [4/18/2021].  "I heard our ambassador to the United Nations this week talk about our founding as fundamentally corrupt and flawed and not noble and good.  I couldn't disagree more."  Thomas-Greenfield spoke about the "imperfect union" of America during a virtual speech last Wednesday at the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference.

Cotton: Biden Admin Says [the] Same Things about American Racism that China [and the] USSR Used to Say.  On Wednesday's [4/14/2021] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Fox News Primetime," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) reacted to U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield's statements about racism being a part of America's founding documents by saying that under the Biden administration, our own diplomats are saying the same things about America that we used to hear Chinese or Soviet officials say about the U.S.  Cotton said, "Amazing.  Yeah, you used to listen to Communist Chinese or Communist Soviets call Americans racists at the United Nations.  In the Biden administration, you hear that from our own ambassador.  That's disgraceful."

Biden U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield Faces Backlash For Attacking U.S.: 'CCP Propaganda'.  Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Biden's U.N. ambassador, faced widespread criticism on Wednesday [4/14/2021] after she bashed the U.S. while speaking to a far-left organization run by "genuine bigot" Al Sharpton.  Thomas-Greenfield said the Biden administration wants to have "humility" as it raises the issues of "equity and justice at the global scale."

Biden U.N. ambassador blasts U.S., rips 'White supremacy' within 'founding documents and principles'.  President Biden's U.N. ambassador wants the world to know that the Declaration of Independence and the principles espoused within are laced with "White supremacy."  Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the blanket comments about founding documents this week while speaking to the Al Sharpton-founded National Action Network (NAN).  "I have seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved White supremacy into our founding documents and principles," she said.

UN 'Migration Networks' to Facilitate Migration Stir Concern.  The United Nations' role in immigration policy is growing worldwide with the establishment of a UN "Network for Migration" in dozens of countries to facilitate large migratory flows, sparking alarm among American border-security advocates already concerned about mass migration and the escalating crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.  The UN networks, which are led by a coalition of UN agencies, exist to support the implementation of the controversial "Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration" (GCM) adopted by the UN and over 150 of its member states in December of 2018.  Among other goals, the global agreement aims to facilitate the expansion of what the UN describes as "regular migration," providing more legal pathways for would-be immigrants seeking to re-settle in wealthier countries such as the United States.

"Such as" the United States sounds reasonable, but what are the names of the other countries that the U.N. is pumping people into?

UN Sends Dire Warning Over Global Progress on Emissions Goals.  A United Nations report released Friday totals up new national climate commitments and concludes that the effort "falls far short" of what's necessary to slow global warming.  How far short?  To have a chance of meeting the Paris Agreement's lower limit of 1.5° Celsius of warming, nations must cut their emissions of carbon dioxide to 45% below their 2010 level by 2030 and eliminate their impact completely by mid-century.  But by meeting all of the updated commitments, countries would lower their CO₂ emissions by just half a percent.

The Editor says...
Once again, the central question is this:  The goal is an increase of 1.5 degrees of warming — compared to what?  Who chose the starting point?  Which bureaucrat decides what the earth's ideal temperature is?  Who can say with any certainty that 2.5 degrees of warming (on the same arbitrary scale) would be catastrophic?  The people making these pronouncements watch too many movies.

U.N. Helps Biden Bring Migrant Asylum Seekers Back into U.S..  The United Nations is reportedly helping the Biden Administration find more asylum-seeking migrants to get back into the United States after they were removed to Mexico or Central America to await asylum processing under the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols.  President Joe Biden canceled the program after taking office on January 21.  "Hundreds of migrants signed up on Friday within hours of the launch of a U.N. website that allows migrants with active cases to register remotely to be processed at the U.S.-Mexico border," Reuters reported.  "The United States and the United Nations are evaluating the locations of migrants and costs associated with possible flights and land transportation within Mexico."

Fauci Looks To UN To 'Rebuild The Infrastructure Of Human Existence'.  I have never been a singer in the anti-Dr. Anthony Fauci chorus.  I always admired his work in the 90s to bring the HIV catastrophe to heel and thought his early efforts as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, advising President Trump on fighting the COVID crisis, provided a vital public service to our country.  But of late, I had been having second thoughts.  I am mildly put off by Fauci's relishing embrace of worldwide celebrity.  I thought it a bit frivolous, for example, his agreeing to be interviewed for a cover story in the fashion magazine, In Style.  And it was certainly an eye-popping obeisance to popular culture when the man — who said we will have to give up handshaking forever — benignly blessed in a Vanity Fair interview (of course) "asymptomatic strangers" hooking up for sexual liaisons using the dating app Tinder.

A Million Young People Wearing Synthetic Fabrics Demand More Climate Action.  To be fair, looking at their website, the Global Centre for Adaption seems to be steering carefully around calling for emissions cuts.  Their emphasis appears to be more on increasing resilience to the predicted rise in storms and rate of sea level rise which global warming is supposed to bring.  I wonder if this could be a new strategy by the UN to build a broader consensus in the USA for shovelling taxpayers' money into UN programmes.  Demanding money for other countries to build useless renewables is an obviously divisive issue, even some Democrat senators might vote against that.  But asking for funding to say improve resilience against flooding in Bangladesh or whatever is less likely to receive an automatic "no".

U. N. Chief Guterres Demands World Reset To Forestall A Climate Apocalypse.  Nature is determined to destroy humanity through flood, famine, fire, and pestilence, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared Wednesday [12/2/2020], prophesizing the time has come for us to repent and mend our ways through a great climate and economic reset.  In an address at Columbia University in New York City, Guterres said the global climate has long been "reacting" to man-made changes, but emphasized there's still time to prevent a total biodiversity collapse if we fall in behind the U.N. and its multiple agencies.

The Editor says...
There is no climate crisis.  There is no need for an economic reset.  The weather does not change because of our economy.  The worst polluters in the world are poor countries, not prosperous countries.  The United Nations itself should be shut down, or at least moved to another country.  I suggest Zimbabwe, Malawi, or Burundi.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield at U.N. will seek to humble, shame America.  A Joe Biden administration will include Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to various reports.  If true, that means goodbye America First global diplomacy; hello social justice.  It also means a return to Barack Obama days when America was bowing to foreign heads of states, expressing disgust with the concept of American Exceptionalism [...]

Israel-bashing at the WHO — in the middle of a pandemic.  Last week the World Health Organization devoted four full hours of its annual assembly in Geneva to bashing Israel for supposedly violating the health rights of Palestinians.  By a vote of 78 to 14, with 32 abstentions, the assembly resolved to hold the same "debate" over Israel again next year, and to order a new report on the "health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan."  In fact, Israel has provided thousands of Palestinians with medical care at Israeli hospitals and coordinated with the Palestinian Authority throughout the crisis.

Trump Admin Leads 32 Nations in U.N. Rebuke:  No International 'Right' to Abortion.  The Trump administration led a 32-nation signing ceremony of a declaration that affirms there is no international right to abortion.  On Thursday [10/22/2020], Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Health & Human Services Alex Azar co-hosted the virtual signing of the Geneva Consensus Declaration along with the governments of Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, and Uganda.

Theater of the absurd:  China, Russia, Cuba elected to UN's Human Rights Council.  This week, China, Russia, and Cuba were elected to the United Nations' Human Rights Council.  This trio of countries is among the worst offenders of human rights on the planet.  If this were an election for United Nations human rights abusers, China would bring home the gold medal.  No amount of double-talk about regional representation or anything else can justify this travesty.  This is yet another example, as if one was needed, showing not just how useless the U.N. is, but how corrupt and downright immoral it is.  Hopefully, in his second term, President Trump will pull the plug on the U.N.  That organization does not deserve any financial support from the U.S.  And it is a stain on America to have that international organization headquartered in New York, allowing all those "diplomats" and other bureaucrats to turn the city into their playground.

U.S. Slams U.N. for Electing China, Russia, Cuba to Human Rights Council.  The United States rebuked the United Nations Tuesday for electing several of the world's top human-rights abusers to sit on its Human Rights Council.  The United States withdrew from the council in 2018, citing its anti-Israel bias and decision to welcome countries that violate human rights.  It continued those gestures Tuesday, when it elected China, Russia, and Cuba as members.  "These elections only further validate the U.S. decision to withdraw and use other venues and opportunities to protect and promote universal human rights," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement.  "The United States has urged U.N. member states to take immediate action to reform the council before it became irreparable.  Unfortunately, those calls went unheeded."

'International Intervention' in U.S. Elections Would Be a Disaster.  There are many reasons to take issue with Peter Beinart's provocative New York Times piece calling for "international intervention" in the aftermath of the November election.  One important question, though, stands out:  Just who, according to Beinart, should do the intervening?

Fauci Looks To UN To 'Rebuild The Infrastructure Of Human Existence'.  Dr. Anthony Fauci is a United Nations wolf in sheep's clothing telling America why it is so important to save lives from the dreaded COVID-19 virus while pandering for the most radical parts of United Nations agenda for the world.  That is, Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. [...] I am mildly put off by Fauci's relishing embrace of worldwide celebrity.  I thought it a bit frivolous, for example, his agreeing to be interviewed for a cover story in the fashion magazine, In Style. [...] But now, Fauci has crossed a line that should sound the alarm — audaciously declaring that combatting infectious disease requires the mindboggling task of "rebuilding the infrastructures of human existence."  Not only that but he opined that accomplishing these top-to-bottom "radical changes" requires "strengthening the United Nations and its agencies, particularly the World Health Organization."

The U.N. Turns 75, and the Chinese Communist Party Gaslights the World.  During the U.N. General Assembly opening debate last month, the Chinese Communist Party's effort to assume greater control over international organizations was on full display.  This year, "UNGA Week," as the high-profile general debate of the assembly is called, took place primarily over video conference, and the in-person gatherings that make up the bread and butter of U.N. diplomacy prevented many important interactions.  No matter for the Chinese delegation:  In addition to general secretary Xi Jinping's address to the Assembly, he participated in a side event on the U.N.'s 75th anniversary, and other Chinese foreign-affairs officials participated in other meetings throughout the week.

Trump Blasts China On Coronavirus Pandemic In United Nations Speech.  President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped China and the World Health Organization (WHO) for mishandling the virus that led to a pandemic.  In recorded remarks to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Trump blamed China for the coronavirus that has killed nearly 200,000 Americans and almost 1 million worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering.  "As we pursue this bright future, we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world:  China," Trump said in the speech, filmed Monday [9/21/2020] in Washington, D.C.  "The Chinese government and the World Health Organization, which is virtually controlled by China, falsely declared that there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission.  Later they falsely said people without symptoms would not spread the disease," Trump said.  "The United Nations must hold China accountable for their actions."

UN says new polio outbreak in Sudan caused by oral vaccine.  The World Health Organization says a new polio outbreak in Sudan is linked to an ongoing vaccine-sparked epidemic in Chad — a week after the U.N. health agency declared the African continent free of the wild polio virus.  In a statement this week, WHO said two children in Sudan — one from South Darfur state and the other from Gedarif state, close to the border with Ethiopia and Eritrea — were paralyzed in March and April.  Both had been recently vaccinated against polio.

When the United States Stands Alone.  There's going to be a lot of talk about the U.N. over the next couple of weeks.  The 75th session of the U.N. General Assembly will kick off with speeches by President Trump and other world leaders next week. [...] The usual suspects are already spinning up the narrative that the United States stands alone at the U.N.  Last week, the United States and Israel were the only countries to vote against a General Assembly resolution on the global coronavirus response.  Some have seized upon that vote to paint the United States as a bad faith actor that stands alone in the world.

U.N. Chooses Teen Prostitution Advocate for Top Human Rights Post.  The U.N. has tapped a former abortionist and advocate for teen prostitution to its top post of expert on health and human rights.  According to a report at international human rights watchdog organization C-Fam, South African Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng has risen quickly at the U.N., from "sexual health and rights advocate" to the top post of Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, a role that will give her a global platform to urge the decriminalization of the sex trade.

Government Schools as Purveyors of Mediocracy.  The tenets of the New World Order include Socialism, Technocracy, and End of Western-Christian Civilization.  It was George H. W. Bush who signed this nation on to the United Nation's Agenda 21 (called the Earth Summit) in 1992, which called for a profound reorientation of all human society.  This was unlike anything the world has ever experienced.  Chapter 36 of Agenda 21 stated that "education is critical for promoting sustainable development..."  As to the nature of sustainable development, it involved attacks on church, family, private property, truth, marriage, free markets and liberty.  Agenda 21 was to be implemented by every person on earth through education.  UN Agenda 2030 was signed by Obama and proclaimed:  "Children are critical agents of change and will find in the new goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities and activism into the creation of a better world."  Both UN Agendas put education at the heart of the plot and further acknowledged that indoctrinating future generations was critical to advance the UN's vision for humanity.

UN Forced to Admit Gates-funded Vaccine is Causing Polio Outbreak in Africa.  This really should be one of the biggest public health scandals of the decade, but instead it's given little attention — mainly because of the high-profile nature of the people and organisations involved.  The United Nations has been forced to admit that a major international vaccine initiative is actually causing a deadly outbreak of the very disease it was supposed to wipe-out.  While international organisations like the World Health Organization (WHO) will regularly boast about 'eradicating polio' with vaccines — the opposite seems to be the case, with vaccines causing the deaths of scores of young people living in Africa.

Trump cancels $62M of US funding for World Health Organization.  President Trump's administration is reassigning the Department of Health and Human Services officials detailed to the World Health Organization and redirecting American funding to other organizations as he cuts ties with the global health agency.  Withdrawal from WHO "becomes effective on July 6, 2021, and since the president's announcement, the U.S. government has been working to identify partners to assume the activities previously undertaken by WHO," State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said Thursday [9/3/2020].  "U.S. participation in WHO technical meetings and events will be determined on a case-by-case basis."

Scandal-ridden WHO 'listening in' on online conversations to counter 'fake COVID-19 news'.  The scandal-plagued World Health Organization (WHO) is working with an analytics company to "social listen" and monitor "millions" of people's social media accounts to combat "coronavirus misinformation."  According to an August 25 WHO news post titled "Immunizing the public against misinformation," the WHO, which is the health arm of the United Nations, claims there is "an overabundance of information and the rapid spread of misleading or fabricated news, images, and videos" regarding the coronavirus.  "We're not just battling the virus," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was quoted as saying in the news release.  "We're also battling the trolls and conspiracy theorists that push misinformation and undermine the outbreak response."

Five More Things You Probably Didn't Know about Susan Rice.  [#1] Rice was obsessed with U.N. peacekeeping to solve world conflicts.  Rice was a key architect of a disastrous Clinton-administration policy — Presidential Decision Directive 25.  PDD-25, as the document was called, sought to implement "assertive multilateralism" to address all global conflicts with U.N. peacekeepers.  This concept, the brainchild of Rice's mentor Madeleine Albright, former ambassador to the United Nations, rested on the assumption that due to the end of the Cold War, the U.S. and U.N. peacekeepers could be used to address global conflicts instead of U.S. troops.  PDD-25 was so radical that at one point an early draft advocated giving the U.N. the ability to tax international phone calls to pay for new peacekeeping missions.

More evidence that the UN could be relocated to any other country in the world:
UN leaders to meet virtually; Trump might attend in person.  The annual meeting of world leaders at the United Nations is going virtual this year for the first time in its 75-year history because of the COVID-19 pandemic — except for the likely personal appearance by President Donald Trump.  "We're hoping that President Trump will actually be speaking in person in the General Assembly," Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Thursday, adding that he will be "the only" leader to speak in the assembly chamber.

UN to launch postage stamp initiative to raise coronavirus funds.  The United Nations is set to launch a postage stamp initiative Friday that will help raise funds for the World Health Organization's (WHO) effort to assist countries struggling from the coronavirus pandemic.  Funds raised through the sale of the stamps will contribute to COVID-19 suppression efforts globally.  The "We Are All in This Together — Help Stop the Spread of COVID-19" stamps will portray six different messages regarding coronavirus hygiene and precautions, a spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General told Fox News Thursday. [...] The initiative is being overseen by the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA).

After The U.S. Leaves WHO, Should The U.N. Be Next?  President Donald Trump has served notice to the World Health Organization that the U.S. will no longer take part in its kleptocratic incompetence and its cozying up to dictators and tyrants, including its biggest influencer, China.  The reckoning is long overdue.  So is one with the United Nations, its parent organization, whose behavior has been far worse.  WHO is one of a number of global organizations, the U.N. among them, funded mainly by U.S. taxpayers.  Despite its support from the U.S., WHO is yet another multilateral agency that acts as if its job is to oppose and confound America.

Al Gore, U.N. secretary-general and other elitists call for a 'great reset' of the global economy.  Justin Haskins, executive editor and a research fellow at The Heartland Institute and the editor in chief of StoppingSocialism.com wrote this past week that "while most Americans have been preoccupied with protests and pandemics, a potentially bigger story has managed to slip beneath the radar."  How so?  Well, while the economic and political chaos caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and the social unrest of the Black Lives Matter protests dominates the news, Al Gore, the U.N. secretary-general and a cadre of other elitists, who fancy themselves our superiors, have gathered together at the World Economic Forum (WEC) to call for a "Great Reset" of the entire global economy and its political structures.

U.N. Chief Guterres Calls for One Supreme Body of 'Global Governance'.  Chief Antonio Guterres said that the world should have only one government.  And no doubt he expects the UN to be the head of that government... as the head of the UN, he would be in the driver's seat.

UN says the world cannot return to 'previous normal' after coronavirus.  The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed told an international forum Friday [6/27/2020] that society cannot return the "previous normal" as he laid out socioeconomic responses amid the coronavirus pandemic.  "We must keep in sight the gravity of the situation," Mohammed said Friday [6/26/2020], addressing the severity of the coronavirus globally.  "A return to normality in some regions must not lull us into a false sense of security."

Al Gore, UN Secretary-General, others now demanding 'Great Reset' of global capitalism.  The economic, social and political chaos caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and Black Lives Matter protests have for months captured the attention of virtually every American — and for good reason.  These are incredibly important issues worthy of significant and thoughtful debate.  But while most Americans have been preoccupied with protests and pandemics, a potentially bigger story has managed to slip beneath the radar:  a growing movement among the world's most powerful leaders to call for a "reset" of the entire global economy.

The UN Human Rights Council strikes again.  The cesspool that is the United Nations Human Rights Council has decided that its top official, a Chilean socialist called Michelle Bachelet, shall "prepare a report on systemic racism, violations of international human rights law against Africans and people of African descent by law enforcement agencies, especially those incidents that resulted in the death of George Floyd and other Africans and of people of African descent."  The "systemic racism" and human rights violations are assumed.

[The] United Nations human rights probe of the US is a farce.  Today [6/17/2020], the United Nations Human Rights Council is holding an "urgent" debate on police brutality and systemic racism.  While the UNHRC president says the debate is not just about the United States, it's clear the U.S. is the primary subject as the killing of George Floyd was the catalyst for the meeting.  And it's clear that the conclusion the council will reach is a sham.  The Human Rights Council has been an abomination for years, with its only clear goals being the demonization of Israel and providing cover for the world's biggest human rights abusers.

Be gone, UN!  On Twitter, former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley blasts the UN Human Rights Council for wading into America's racial tensions.  On Monday, the council announced an "urgent" debate on "racially inspired human-rights violations, systemic racism, police brutality and the violence against peaceful protests" in the United States.  While "America is not perfect," Haley notes, the UN mandarins refuse "to debate concentration camps in China, political murders in Cuba, torture in Syria, state-imposed starvation in North Korea and slavery in parts of Africa."  She might have in mind, perhaps, the more than 1 million Muslims the Beijing regime keeps in Orwellian "re-education camps."  Or the North African nation of Mauritania, where rights groups say up to a fifth of the population remains enslaved.  Add the mass-killing horrors of Syria and North Korea, and the UN debate on US policing is, as Haley suggests, "a farce."

UN human rights body to debate 'systemic racism, police brutality' in US.  The U.N. Human Rights Council on Monday [6/15/2020] said it would hold a debate on "systemic racism, police brutality and violence against peaceful protests" amid global demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd in the U.S.  The decision followed a request last week by Burkina Faso on behalf of all African countries, Reuters reported.

U.N. Silenced:  Laments No Gathering of World Leaders for First Time in 75 Years.  A dark and shuttered United Nations building in New York will not play host to world leaders for a week of speeches come September, as the globalist body contemplates being silent for the first time in 75 years.  A bitterly disappointed president of the U.N. General Assembly confirmed Monday the annual gathering of leaders and bureaucrats been cancelled because of the march of the global Chinese pandemic.

George Floyd's Family Petitions United Nations to Help Disarm Police in the United States.  The family of George Floyd, the black man killed while in police custody in Minneapolis on Memorial Day, has sent a letter to the globalist United Nations to ask for its help in disarming police officers in the United States of America.  The family's legal team facilitated the letter, which was sent on Wednesday [6/3/2020], according to NBC News.

Reaping What We Sowed:  Coronavirus Pandemic Is Our Wake Up Call.  One great positive development that could result from the coronavirus pandemic is the potential for the international community to finally wake up to the atrocities the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been committing since its inception.  For too long, the CCP's crimes against humanity have been ignored, and now we're all reaping what we sowed.  It all started in 1971 at the United Nations when a critical vote was taken.  I have a strong memory of that day, because as a child I remember my mother being so shaken and angry.  I remember her presenting us, her children, a list of countries she had written out carefully on a yellow piece of paper in her beautiful script handwriting that we had to boycott because they had done something absolutely horrible.  It was Oct. 25, 1971, and these nations had just voted to have communist China replace the Republic of China as a member state of the United Nations.  On that date, the ambassador to China of then-communist Albania, Reis Malile, whose country had introduced the resolution, gleefully pointed out that vote was "a great defeat for the United States of America," while exalting the great People's Republic of China as "a bastion of socialism and justice."

Sidelined and Ignored:  U.N. Laments Its Inability to Achieve Anything on World Stage.  As the world grapples with the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, ongoing turmoil in the Middle East and Beijing's brutal interventions in Hong Kong, the organization once charged with offering solutions to such problems is sidelined with nobody listening to its calls for "peace, harmony and global unity."  U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has bemoaned a "lack of leadership" during the world's worst series of crises since 1945.  "Where we see power, we sometimes do not see the necessary leadership," he said recently.

China Working to Assume Control of U.N. Agencies.  China is working to assume control of multiple key United Nations agencies in order to subvert U.S. influence and advance its anti-democratic agenda, current and former senior Trump administration officials told the Washington Free Beacon.  China currently holds 4 of the top 15 leading positions within the organization, including a seat on the powerful Security Council.  The country's sway was on full display this year when it successfully pressured the World Health Organization (WHO) to hide information about the coronavirus pandemic.

UN Human Rights Chief Tries to Scare Countries Into Continuing Lockdowns.  The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights is suggesting that the draconian lockdowns most countries have enforced on their citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic might need to be extended to avoid a disastrous "second wave" of the virus.  Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet, a socialist and the former president of Chile, issued the warning on Thursday.  Bachelet claimed that the disastrous economic effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns are a small price to pay when you consider the possible alternative. [...] Bachelet must not watch much television or go on the Internet.  In America at least, re-openings are clearly being driven by unhappy citizens who want to go back to work and start their lives again — not by any "elites."  In fact, it seems like many elites — globalist health organizations, Democrat-controlled states and the mainstream media, for example — are the ones pressing to continue these authoritarian lockdowns.  The Human Rights High Commissioner is clearly of the belief that only government has the answers to the economic and health concerns brought on by the Chinese coronavirus.

China goes after US over more than $1 billion owed to the UN.  China is going after the United States over more than $1 billion that the Trump administration owes the United Nations in unpaid dues for its regular operating budget and arrears for the separate budget for the U.N.'s far-flung peacekeeping operations.

Has the busybodies' 'Agenda 21' worked its magic?  "Agenda 21" sounds like one of those conspiratorial rabbit holes like, say, Area 51 or the Bermuda Triangle.  It is not.  It is as real as is the havoc it has helped wreak.  As to whether that havoc was intended, I think not, but I could be wrong.  After the last month or two, I would not be surprised to learn that Lucifer himself conceived Agenda 21.  Agenda 21 was the end product of the epic U.N. Conference on Environment and Development — more commonly known as the "Earth Summit" — held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.  The "21" referred to 2021, the year by which individual governments around the world were to have achieved the Agenda 21 "action agenda."  In 2015, the completion date was pushed back to 2030.

UN chief calls for 'large-scale' coronavirus response of 10 percent of global GDP.  U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres this week called for a "large-scale" international response to the global coronavirus crisis, consisting of 10 percent of global GDP — and promising that the U.N. is "fully mobilized" to support such an effort.  "What is needed is a large-scale, coordinated and comprehensive multilateral response amounting to at least 10 percent of global GDP," he said in remarks at the launch of a report on the socioeconomic impacts of the virus.

Who Believes WHO?  [Scroll down]  The astute reader is probably wondering, what do the IPCC and WHO have in common?  That's an excellent question.  The correct answer is not both organizations are part of that behemoth known as the United Nations.  WHO is a specialized agency of the U.N. allegedly responsible for international public health, part of the U.N. Sustainable Development Group.  This means in reality, the WHO is a political organization, not a medical one.  What the IPCC is to climate science, WHO is to medicine.  In other words, put a stethoscope on Bozo the Clown, and he could be the WHO media relations specialist.

Showdown Brews As U.N. Court Targets U.S. GIs.  An international prosecutor, Fatou Bensuda, was advised Thursday by a panel at Hague that she should go ahead and investigate alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan.  It's a shocking development.  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the International Criminal Court panel's ruling "a truly breathtaking action by an unaccountable political institution masquerading as a legal body."  It is, but what to do?  In a little noticed address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee last week, Senator Ted Cruz urged an American push at the United Nations Security Council to ban ICC investigations against Israelis, Americans, or citizens of any other non-member of the Hague-based court.

The UN Human Rights Council's shameful blacklist.  The UN has reached a new low.  The UN Human Rights Council, usually in the news because it includes countries with the worst records of human rights abuse in the world, has now targeted companies that do business in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.  The so-called blacklist includes 112 companies with the aim of letting the world know who it is that works in Israel's alleged "occupied territories."  The publication of the list has been in the works since 2016. Countries with the worst human-rights records, such as Cuba and Venezuela, pushed the list due to their anti-Israel views, not because of an attachment to international law.  The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation also supported the list, neither of which are known for having members with stellar human-rights records.

Armed ecoguards funded by WWF 'beat up Congo tribespeople'.  Armed ecoguards partly funded by the conservation group WWF to protect wildlife in the Republic of the Congo beat up and intimidated hundreds of Baka pygmies living deep in the rainforests, an investigation into a landmark global conservation project has heard.  A team of investigators sent to northern Congo by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) to assess allegations of human rights abuses gathered "credible" evidence from different sources that hunter-gatherer Baka tribespeople living close to a proposed national park had been subjected to violence and physical abuse from the guards over years, according to a leaked draft of the report.  The allegations, reported to the UN last year, included Baka tribespeople being beaten by the ecoguards, the criminalisation and illegal imprisonment of Baka men, summary evictions from the forest, the burning and destruction of property, and the confiscation of food.

The Cult of Western Shaming.  The U.S. and Europe are often quite critical of violence against women, minorities and gays.  The European Union, for example, has often singled out Israel for its supposed mistreatment of Palestinians on the West Bank.  Yet if the purpose of Western human rights activism is to curb global bias and hate, then it would be far more cost-effective to concentrate on the greatest offenders.  China is currently detaining about a million Muslim Uighurs in re-education camps.  Yet activist groups aren't calling for divestment, boycotts and sanctions against Beijing in the same way they target Israel.  Homosexuality is a capital crime in Iran.  Scores of Iranian gays reportedly have been incarcerated and thousands executed under theocratic law since the fall of the Shah in 1979.  Yet rarely do Western activist groups call for global ostracism of Iran.  Don't look to the United Nations Human Rights Council for any meaningful condemnation of worldwide prejudice and hatred, although it is a frequent critic of both the U.S. and Israel.

The Gun Control and Confiscation Agenda.  Strict gun control legislation, including confiscation of certain types of firearms, in Virginia have lead to a number of Virginia localities declaring themselves "second amendment sanctuaries" that will not enforce what they consider "unconstitutional" gun laws.  In response, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) and several other politicians have openly suggested using the Virginia National Guard to implement gun confiscation plans in those jurisdictions that have declared themselves "Second Amendment Sanctuaries."  Some outlets have even reported that Virginia state officials are considering UN troops to aid the confiscation, although I cannot independently verify this speculation.  However, it is worth noting that the UN is advertising job openings for "DISARMAMENT, DEMOBILIZATION AND REINTEGRATION OFFICERS" to be stationed in the United States.  This job advertisement can be viewed on the UN website.  I can find no proof that the job announcement and Virginia's gun control efforts are related.  However, the situation does bear watching.

The UN Is Hiring English-Speaking Disarmament Officers in New York.  As the Second Amendment conflict heats up across the United States, here's another "crazy conspiracy theory" that has turned out to be true.  The United Nations is hiring in New York.  What positions are they trying to fill?  English-speaking disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration officers.  This job was posted the day after Christmas.  So for all the folks who have been saying "nobody is trying to take your guns" you might want to read this job listing and reconsider your opinion.

UN Begins Process of Handing Internet Control to Ruthless Dictators.  We've known this has been coming for a couple of years.  Dissatisfied with control of the internet largely in the hands of western democracies — especially the United States — the dictators and religious fanatics of the world have begun the process to seize control of the internet where, I'm sure, you won't be able to insult Islam, call Vladimir Putin a thug, or criticize the Chinese communists.  The United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution that would set up a "committee of experts" whose mission would be to stop "the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes."  Since many countries make it a crime to criticize the government or insult Islam, the resolution does not bode well for internet freedom in the near future.

U.N. peacekeepers in Haiti reportedly impregnated girls as 'young as 11' and then abandoned them.  A new study claims that United Nations peacekeepers assigned to Haiti from 2004 through 2017 fathered hundreds of children by Haitian women and girls as young as 11 and abandoned the mothers and children when their time on the island ended.  The study was published in the publication The Conversation.  It said that 2,500 Haitians were interviewed about the plight of women and girls in the time period and that 265 mentioned that U.N. peacekeepers had fathered children while stationed there.  The UN's long-running Stabilization Mission in Haiti ran from 2004 to 2017.

U.N. Imposes Strict Gender Quotas on British Army for Africa Jihadi Fight.  The United Nations has placed strict gender quotas on a British Army peacekeeping deployment to Mali in west Africa, demanding more females are sent under the auspices of a special bureaucratic directive.  At least 250 soldiers are expected to join the U.N. peacekeeping force helping France to contain the deadly Islamist jihadi threat in the disputed Sahel region, the Daily Express reports.

Madrid Climate Conference Ends in Failure.  The Madrid conference was to have engendered a spirit of enhanced climate ambition, a kind of competition of climate virtuousness.  All it could manage was a statement expressing "serious concern" about the widening gap between the participating parties' collective efforts and the ambitious emissions trajectory required to keep the rise in global temperatures below 2 degrees Celsius.

The folly here is that the U.N. has arbitrarily chosen the ideal average temperature of the Earth; that is, the average temperature on some arbitrary date in the 19th or 20th century.  And now the UN is trying to have us all believe that industrial activity must be curbed or curtailed to maintain their chosen temperature.  This is a goal which is very likely unattainable, no matter how much money is spent, or how many laws are passed.

Red Tide Rising.  A borderless world without nations represents the culmination of the communist dream of a world united under the banner of the hammer and sickle.  For that dream to be realized, America's sovereignty must be yielded to an international governing body run by the UN, a one-world globalist organization run by an international assortment of socialists-cum-communists.  Those who call for a borderless world with no nations are effectively calling for a permanent end to the United States in favor of a "new world order," a world where Americans would be indoctrinated to no longer see themselves as citizens of their country, but as Citizens of the World.

Obama, Clinton Alumni Serve At UN, Continuing Liberal Influence Over International Affairs During Trump Era.  Obama-era Democrats are still influencing foreign affairs, now through jobs at the United Nations and at other international organizations where Americans can help shape international politics in ways at odds with the Trump administration.  Before and after the start of Donald Trump's presidency, Obama- and Clinton-aligned politicos took the positions, which are not U.S. government jobs but generally are the result of lobbying by U.S. officials.  Many are entitled to keep the jobs indefinitely once they are in them.  Tensions between the Trump administration and employees in the foreign service and international organizations — including some that serve at the pleasure of the president — have repeatedly come to the fore in recent weeks.

UN Votes Overwhelmingly to Condemn US Embargo on Cuba.  The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Thursday [11/7/2019] to condemn the American economic embargo of Cuba for the 28th year, rejecting U.S. criticism of human rights violations there and criticizing the Trump administration's increasingly tough enforcement measures.

The United Nations has a cash flow crisis.  Good!  The United Nations is complaining that it has a $230 million budget shortfall.  The problem, the organization says, is that countries aren't paying their dues.  One of the nations that has not delivered all of its expected dues is the United States.  Good.  America has the right to see the U.N. reform itself before we hand over 22% of its budget.  U.N. Secretary General António Guterres says his budget shortfall is a disaster, but it's more of an opportunity.  The U.N. remains deeply inefficient, wasteful, corrupt, and subservient to malevolent interests.  That will not change without leverage.  The U.S. has outsized influence here.  And as the leader of the free world, it is up to us to take the lead.

Let the U.N. relocate to another country, far away.  Better yet, let the U.N. collapse under its own weight.  Then sit back and watch for a few years and see if anyone notices.

30 of The Biggest Lies & Hoaxes Perpetrated on The American People.  [#21] The United Nations:  One of the seediest organizations is the UN. They are behind the 2030 agenda, have been called out numerous times for rape, sexual misconduct, and pedophiles.  When Bill Clinton was made the UN special envoy to Haiti in 2010, that should have been your first red flag, if not your tenth.  [#21] The Rescue of Haitian Children After The 2010 Earthquake:  This one has had folks puzzled since 2010.  Where did all of the children go?  How did they get here so fast, before the dust even settled?  Most are already aware of the millions of dollars the Clintons pocketed off the aftermath of Haiti's earthquake, and the devastation they caused to the people of Haiti.  This report includes details about the children being airlifted to the US, as well as corruption surrounding a child welfare agency in Florida.

Iran's Rouhani backs moving UN out of New York to a 'better' country.  Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Thursday that his country's delegation would vote for the United Nations headquarters to be moved out of New York if given the chance, in the latest sign of escalating tensions with the United States on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.  "If we're ever asked, we will, of course, vote for it, for the United Nations headquarters to be transferred to a more secure and better country that does not have the narrow viewpoints that we have been witnessing," he said in response to a question at a press conference.  There appears to be no significant movement to move the U.N.

As I have said before, the UN should move to another country.  Here is one ideal spot:  France is run by socialists, and the French have a reputation for being somewhat arrogant and having an over-enhanced perception of their own importance to the rest of the world.  Everything in France is overpriced and overrated.  It's a perfect match.

God Isn't Welcome at the UN and Hasn't Been for a Long, Long Time.  God's name is anathema at the UN as it is in much of the secular world the UN now controls.  False gods and their destructive Marxist messages live rent-free at the world's biggest bureaucracy, which now counts on indoctrinated school children to continue the Climate Change scare.

We're All Going to Starve to Death, Again.  The "experts" insist that deserts are expanding, extreme weather is destroying crops, and 10 percent of the Earth's people are already going without food.  Soon mankind as a whole will be short of food, millions will starve, and nations will be plunged into chaos as populations engage in warfare and mass migration in search of food. [...] Unlike [Thomas] Malthus, who felt that mass starvation was inevitable (and that it would "solve" the problem of overpopulation, albeit at a tremendous cost), the IPCC experts appear to have a kinder, gentler solution:  put all the Earth's resources and industries under the control of the world climate commissars.  Call in the experts to regulate land use, food distribution, and energy production.  Give up our freedom to live as we wish, travel as we wish, and dine as we wish, and the experts will save us.

UN Latest Climate Change Report:  Saving Planet Will Require 'Drastic Changes' in Land Use, Human Diets.  The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report on Thursday that calls for letting agricultural land return to the wilderness and for people to eat more plants and fewer animals.  The report reiterates the globalist organization's claim that man's use of natural resources to improve people's lives around the world is making "global warming" worse and will make food more scarce, more expensive, and less nutritional.

New United Nations Climate Report [is] Yet Another Waste Of Paper.  It will eat up more than 1,000 pages and be hailed as the finest document since the Magna Carta.  But the United Nations' land-use report will free no man, save not one life, lift no one out of poverty, nor have any perceptible impact on the global climate.  Should President Donald Trump be re-elected next year, he should pull the U.S. out of the U.N. the same way he pulled the country out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate.

The UN's Latest Example of Double Standards Against Israel.  The United Nations Security Council held its quarterly open debate on July 23rd regarding the situation in the Middle East, focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  As usual, the meeting was an occasion for Israel-bashing.

The Choice Between Bad and Worse.  Cholera was not medieval.  It spread from Bengal to Europe in the first quarter of the 19th century.  Its first appearance in Haiti, a country one might have thought propitious for its ravages, was as late as 2010, brought by the Nepali peacekeeping troops of the United Nations, who dumped their sewage directly into the water supply of a large part of the Haitian population.  Unfortunately Nepal had been suffering from cholera at the time the Nepali troops were sent to Haiti.

The UN's extinction warning doesn't add up.  Anyone watching the BBC's News at Ten on Monday [5/6/2019] would have been surprised to learn that economic growth poses a dire threat to the future of life on this planet. [...] 'One million species at risk of imminent extinction according to a major UN report,' intoned the BBC.  'It says the Earth's ecosystems are being destroyed by the relentless pursuit of economic growth.'  So does this mean the Extinction Rebellion protestors are right?  I decided to do some digging to see if one million species really do 'face extinction in the next few decades', as the BBC put it.

The UN's species extinction fraud.  We have encroached on the habitat of some animals.  But in fact not a single species has been shown to be either threatened or endangered by warming of the Earth by man's increasing use of fossil fuels and the carbon dioxide emissions therefrom.  The recent alarmist report, to the contrary, issued by the UN, contains no physical evidence whatever.  It is entirely based on cherry picked sampling data which is then fed into a mathematical equation primed to yield the absurd alarmist report which a willing media announces in shrieking tones (as usual).  These people know they are lying but are not bothered by it, which is why we get so many horrid politicians.

The Calming Feeling as Jew-Hate Now Takes Deeper Root in the Democrat Party.  Ilhan Omar (D-MN) accused Israel of hypnotizing the world.  That lie, which seems to have permeated the Somali Muslim community, initially outraged Democrats no less than it did Republicans.  If Israel is so good at hypnotizing the world, why does it never win a vote in the United Nations, the vile sewer where that very "world" congregates to lynch Israel regularly?

'Worthless' UN blasted for weak Venezuela response, playing into Maduro's hands.  As the Venezuelan government burns aid convoys, represses its people and forces them to eat out of garbage trucks, critics say the United Nations is struggling to find its voice as it issues weak statements of condemnations, while a pro-Maduro coalition digs in at U.N. headquarters[.]  "[Secretary General Antonio Guterres] is playing right into #Maduro plans," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted this month.  "Fake @UN 'negotiations' to divide opposition & buy time for protests to die down.  Maduro will also want UN "experts" to blame #Venezuela crisis on sanctions."

Congressman Introduces Bill to Get the U.S. Out of the UN.  As outrage over the United Nations continues to grow, legislation to restore American sovereignty by withdrawing from the scandal-plagued UN was introduced in Congress this month.  In addition to getting the U.S. government out of the UN and evicting the global outfit's headquarters from U.S. soil, the bill would end American involvement in the full panoply of UN agreements and agencies.  It would also prohibit putting of U.S. troops under UN command.  The legislation has been introduced in Congress for decades.  However, the current president's publicly expressed hostility to globalism and his oft-stated support for U.S. sovereignty make the issue especially salient right now.

Survey uncovers rampant sexual harassment at UN.  A third of United Nations employees reported experiencing sexual harassment at the agency within the last two years, according to an explosive survey released on Tuesday.  According to the findings, some 33 percent of respondents reported at least one instance of sexual harassment in that time, but the figure rose to nearly 40 percent when they were asked about their entire career at the UN.  Instances of sexual harassment included offensive jokes or stories, or inappropriate remarks about someone's appearance or sexual activities.  Other employees said they had been the victims of unwanted gestures or touching.

Report Finds UN Employs 3,300 Pedophiles, Responsible for 60,000 Rapes in Last 10 Years.  An outright frightening dossier released by a former senior United Nations official reveals that United Nations employees have carried out over 60,000 rapes in just the last decade.  What's more, the dossier estimates that the organization currently employs at least 3,300 pedophiles.

The UN's Terrifying, But Ever-Receding, Human-Caused Climate Catastrophe.  For years I assigned statistics students to pick any apocalyptic climate claim in the media and trace it back through the UN reports to its genesis in a scientific study.  I knew they would discover that these reports are not scientific documents based on the peer review process, but political documents "approved by governments" and intended to scare the public into supporting constraints on the production and use of energy.  A powerful publicity machine magnifies the alarm, bombarding citizens with exaggerations and claims of certainty that are proven wrong as you dig down to their underlying scientific studies.

United Nations:  Trump Must Allow Caravan Migrants into America.  International officials with the United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency say President Trump must allow a caravan of Central Americans into the United States to seek asylum.  As Breitbart News has chronicled, migrants with an at least 7,000-strong caravan have repeatedly admitted that they are traveling to the U.S. to seek jobs, re-enter the U.S. as previously deported illegal aliens, and flee crime.  One previously deported illegal alien with the caravan even admitted that he was convicted of attempted murder in the U.S. None of these cases are eligible asylum claims.

U.N. court's hilarious attempt to order U.S..  You had me at the headline.  "U.S. ordered to lift some Iran sanctions by International Court of Justice," blared NBC News, above its Associated Press story.  Ordered is a pretty funny word, given U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton's recent takedown of another global judicial body, just last month.  Bolton, in fiery September remarks in Washington, D.C. — delivered first in the context of discussing the International Criminal Court's attempt to investigate U.S. military members for war crimes in Afghanistan, and second in the context of responding to this same court's call to haul Israel in for human rights' abuses against Palestinians — had nothing but scorn.

UN Unleashes LGBT Czar to Promote Homosexuality, Transgenderism.  The United Nations "Human Rights Council," which counts some of the world's most ruthless dictatorships as members, sparked global outrage last week by voting to appoint a UN czar to oversee the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism around the world.  In the crosshairs are religious and moral views that reject homosexual behavior as sinful, as well as objective reality and biological facts that until recent years were taken for granted.  The deeply controversial scheme was pushed through by communist and socialist rulers with fervent support from the Obama administration, which for years has been lawlessly using American tax dollars and diplomatic resources to bribe and bully foreign governments into compliance with the radical agenda.  But there was a great deal of opposition, and criticism of the UN extremism is growing.  Officially, the UN LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) "expert" will work to combat "violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity."  In reality, though, forces on both sides of the issue know full well that the UN czar will serve as another weapon in the global war against religion, traditional values, morality, and truth.

U.N. Gets Ready To Rumble.  President Trump's coming collision with the United Nations could be something to behold.  Later this month he's due to chair the Security Council, where he may give the striped pants set a piece of his mind in respect of Iran.  He's barreling toward a showdown with the International Criminal Court.  He's cut off funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency.  Watch out for the International Monetary Fund.  We characterize the coming reckoning as being with the United Nations because all of these institutions are in one way another either parts of or spawn of the world body.  So, for that matter, are the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear accord, from which America has either withdrawn or announced its intention to do so.  The United Nations is the focus of vast disappointment.

UN poverty report blasting Trump, US for 'hatred for the poor' uses data from last year of Obama's presidency.  A recent United Nations report blasting President Trump and America in general for harboring "contempt" and "hatred for the poor" is based on highly inaccurate data that can't easily be used to compare the U.S. to other nations.  The U.N. report's main contentions read like an attack on the Trump administration by the Democratic Party:  America has 40 million poor people, including 18.5 million who live in extreme poverty; U.S. policies regarding the poor are "cruel and inhuman;" the Trump tax cuts aren't working and will worsen inequality; and the U.S. needs to spend less on defense of our nation and more on social programs.

As Venezuela's socialist disaster spreads, UN goes after Ecuador and Peru.  The United Nations is pressuring Peru and Ecuador to drop their passport requirements, put into place after vast human waves of Venezuelans fleeing socialism inundated those countries.  Bad, bad Ecuador and Peru for wanting to control their nation's borders.  Borders bad, uncontrolled entry good.  How very convenient for Venezuela's Maduro regime, which is at the root of the problem.

Former UN Secretary General And Nobel Peace Laureate Kofi Annan Dies At 80.  Former United Nations Secretary General and Nobel Peace Laureate Kofi Annan died at 80 years old on Saturday morning [8/18/2018].  Annan "passed away peacefully" "after a short illness," his family and the Kofi Annan Foundation said in a joint statement, reported Fox News.

Kofi Annan.  Yet it is the part of newspaper work to acknowledge that for all the ideals that Annan articulated, his career was pocked with tragedy and scandal.  It was on his watch that in 1994 the Rwanda genocide claimed 800,000 lives.  The commander of United Nations forces, General Roméo Dallaire, blamed Annan for the failure of the U.N. to act.  Annan was head of peacekeeping when, a year later, the Srebrenica massacre took place.  It was on Annan's watch that the Oil-for-Food scandal erupted.  It grew from a program to relieve hardships laid to the U.N. sanctions on Iraq.  Run by the U.N. between 1996 and 2003, the program allowed Iraq to sell oil to buy goods for humanitarian relief.  It became corrupt.  The scandal engulfed Annan's family when his son was reported to have continued receiving payments from an Oil-for-Food contractor for four years beyond the date on which Annan's U.N. office had said such ties were severed.  That disclosure, first reported by Claudia Rosett on the front page of The New York Sun, stunned the world body.  Eventually, a team led by a former Federal Reserve chairman, Paul Volcker, uncovered corruption, irregularities, and nepotism in the Oil-for-Food program.  There were several indictments and convictions in American courts.  Yet Annan himself was not directly implicated.

Whatever Happened to Agenda 21 and Climate Change Policy?  It's alive and well in your backyard.  The entire policy of using anthropogenic global warming as a false front to implement global governance and impose how we will all live is working with remarkable success.

Media Silent As US Agrees To 'Full Implementation' of United Nations Gun Control Pact.  While the United States is typically set apart from other countries when it comes to gun laws, a recent conference with the United Nations has raised major red flags, as the U.S. agreed to enact "full implementation" of an international agreement on gun control that will violate Americans' constitutional rights by adding their personal information to a global database.  The Third Review Conference (RevCon) of the United Nations' Program of Action (PoA) on Small Arms and Light Weapons was held in New York last week with a 2018 agreement, which states that its purpose is to serve as "a renewed commitment to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects."

UN's Green Climate Fund at 'Low Point' After Director Resigns.  The head of the Green Climate Fund, set up by the United Nations in the fight against global warming, stepped down abruptly after less than two years on the job, leaving the organization's future in doubt.  Howard Bamsey, an Australian diplomat who served as the GCF's executive director since January 2017, resigned after a "difficult" meeting in which no new projects were approved, according to a statement released after the gathering in Songdo, South Korea.

UN Continues Their Push To Disarm Americans.  The United Nations can't say Agenda 2030 — their plan for global peace — is successful if Americans are still armed and if the Second Amendment still exists.  They have to completely get rid of armed citizens in America and the way to go about that is using our peers against us.  Our threat is no longer just at home.  It's international.  It's time for gun owners to wake up to the international threat that sits right before us.

The UN was designed to fail, and it does.  Although best-known for its peace-keeping in areas of conflict — where it enjoys a mixed record, at best — the U.N.'s agencies, commissions, and panels have a dismal record of accomplishment, especially while acting as the world's regulator-wannabe for all manner of products, processes and activities.  Along with failing to defend human rights, the U.N. regularly panders to activists and, not coincidentally, adopts policies that expand its own scope and responsibilities.  Science and free markets routinely get short shrift; in U.N. programs and projects, everything becomes an exercise in PR, politics, and international horse-trading.  In an article published last December, two respected commentators called for the U.S. to cut funding for the U.N.'s World Health Organization and its International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is plagued by incompetence and poor science on its good days, and failed to address a major scandal marked by corruption and conflicts of interest.

Forget the Human Rights Council, Why Not Leave the Entire UN?  The Trump Administration recently announced that the US will withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council.  Their justification is that the council consists of human rights violators, such as Cuba, China, and Venezuela, and has demonstrated a bias against Israel. [...] Of course the exact same logic could be used to advocate the United States from pulling out of the UN entirely.

The UN Human Rights Council Is A Sham, And The United States Is Right To Leave It.  No matter the lens applied, it is hard to view the United Nations as a serious body.  A look at its specialty councils and commissions reveals an Orwellian world where committee titles mean the opposite and the resolutions they pass exacerbate the problems they're supposed to address.  Even modest attempts at internal reform have somehow managed to churn out results that make bad situations even worse.  Nowhere is this problem more evident than in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHCR), a world body that gives hypocrisy a bad name.

Haley to Sanders:  UN Report Decrying Poverty in America Is 'Ridiculous' and 'Misleading'.  [Scroll down]  The United States' "immense wealth and expertise stand in shocking contrast with the conditions in which vast numbers of its citizens live," the report stated.  "About 40 million live in poverty, 18.5 million in extreme poverty, and 5.3 million live in Third World conditions of absolute poverty.  It has the highest youth poverty rate in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the highest infant mortality rates among comparable OECD States.  Its citizens live shorter and sicker lives compared to those living in all other rich democracies, eradicable tropical diseases are increasingly prevalent, and it has the world's highest incarceration rate, one of the lowest levels of voter registrations among OECD countries and the highest obesity levels in the developed world."  [Philip] Alston called those stats and policies behind them "cruel and inhuman" and said Trump administration policies seem "driven primarily by contempt, and sometimes even by hatred for the poor, along with a 'winner takes all' mentality... contempt for the poor has intensified under the Trump Administration."

Obviously, if they think so little of us, the United Nations should move its headquarters to a more civilized country.

Mystery Grows Over Why a Study Of Palestinian School Books Is Being Kept Secret From Congress.  Why does the State Department block the publication of the congressional investigation of Palestinian texts taught in schools run by the United Nations?  That is the question two years after the chairman of the Senate's Near East subcommitee, James Risch, asked Congress's Government Accountability Office to look at the schoolbooks now used by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.  Senator Risch ordered the study after Idaho constituents introduced him to the findings of the Center for Near East Policy Research, which purchases, translates and evaluates all schoolbooks that Palestinian Arab children learn in all UNRWA schools.

US withdraws from UN Human Rights Council as Haley decries 'cesspool of political bias'.  The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was withdrawing the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council, with U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley calling the 47-member council "a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias."  Haley noted the move came after a year where "we did not see any progress."  Haley threatened the pullout last year, citing longstanding U.S. complaints that the council showed a "chronic bias" against Israel.  Calling it "an organization that is not worthy of its name," Haley decried the membership of countries like China, Cuba and Venezuela — which also have been slammed for human-rights violations.

U.S. withdraws from farcical U.N. Human Rights Council.  Today [6/19/2018], the Trump administration pulled the U.S. out of the cesspool known as the United Nations Human Rights Council.  It did so in protest of the presence of notorious human rights abusers on the commission, as well as the commission's blatant bias against Israel.  Nikki Haley, our splendid U.N. ambassador, issued a blistering critique of the Council, explaining that it has become a "protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias."  She cited the admission of Congo as a member even as mass graves were being discovered there.  She also noted the failure to address human rights abuses in Venezuela and Iran.  Haley and Secretary of State Pompeo are to be congratulated for this move.

Swiss FM Says UNRWA Has Become "Part of the Problem".  Switzerland's new foreign minister has once again criticized the United Nations agency in charge of Palestinian refugees, saying that UNRWA has become "part of the problem" in the Middle East, The Times of Israel reported Wednesday [5/30/2018].  Two weeks ago, Ignazio Cassis said that UNRWA hindered the prospects of peace in the Middle East by fueling "unrealistic" hopes of Palestinians returning to their homes.  The Times reported that Cassis, who had been discussing Switzerland's funding of UNRWA, said on a radio show that the Swiss should ask questions about what those funds are accomplishing.

A Week of Infamy at the United Nations.  When Syria ascended to the role of presidency of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament for one month on Monday, Robert Wood, the United States ambassador to the conference, called it "one of the darkest days in the history of the Conference on Disarmament."  The week at the U.N. did not get better.  Syria assumed the role of presidency of the conference, despite committing the war crime of deploying chemical weapons against civilians, by virtue of its place in the alphabet — it followed Switzerland.  The New York Times explained that the reason for the rotating scheme was "to prevent major powers dominating the forum."  The problem is that the U.N., according to its charter, was founded, in part, to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind."  How does giving a regime that uses prohibited weapons presidency over a conference devoted to abrogating such weapons save anyone from "the scourge of war?"

Corruption and bribery alleged in UN refugee office in Sudan.  And, the allegations are coming from a humanitarian publication under the UN umbrella.  Why do you care?  Because the UN High Commissioner for Refugees is the first stop for most refugees coming to your towns.  (We took 53 from Sudan in the last 7 months).  This is just more evidence that the US State Department should be cutting the umbilical cord to the United Nations Refugee Program.  If we are going to be taking refugees from third world hell holes we should be doing the choosing and the processing without UN 'help.'

United Nations Quietly Pushes International Gun Control.  The United Nations' International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) is finishing up their Global Week of Action Against Gun Violence.  According to IANSA, the goal of the week-long meeting is "for us to advocate collectively for an end to illicit trade and misuse of small arms and light weapons."

UN Members Only Vote w/US 31% of the Time.  When UN Ambassador Nikki Haley first warned that there would be an accounting for the failure of UN members to vote with the US, it was over Israel.  But this report goes well beyond Israel.

Why is it our job to clean out UN refugee camps?  And, why is the Trump Administration continuing refugee resettlement started for no other reason (by George Bush and Barack Obama) than to please the UN?  Previous presidents jumped to the UN piper's tune and said sure, the US will step up to take the Bhutanese and the DR Congolese because the UN asked us to.  These people were not our responsibility, no one could say we caused the problems that resulted in their care by the UN.  We have no strategic interest or reason other than to make the UN happy (and some big employers who want the cheap labor, the Dems who want voters and the contractors who want the payola!).

Beware: The United Nations Is Taking Aim at Ammo.  The United Nations will have a busy year in 2018 on the firearms front.  That's not good news for anyone in the U.S. who buys firearms.  When it comes to the U.N. and guns, the best form of action is always inaction.  Worse, manufacturers and importers at this year's SHOT Show — the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show, organized by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry, which ran from Jan. 23 to 26 — believe they're starting to see the results of past U.N. anti-gun efforts.  Bottom line:  there are more problems for U.S. gun importers, while China gets a free pass on a critical issue.

UNRWA: The UN Agency that Creates Palestinian Refugees.  According to the UN's own definition, the status of "refugee" cannot be passed from generation to generation — as it conveniently has been for the Palestinians.  A Palestinian with a European, American or Jordanian passport has no reason to be considered a refugee.  Except by UNRWA.  "Since the UN took them over, the Palestinians started burying their dead at night, without declaring them, in order to share their rations.  As a result, for nearly 20 years, the official death rate in the camps was close to zero.  In addition, there was a lot of movement between the camps.  But these displacements were rarely recorded, so that a Palestinian could appear in several camps at the same time..." — Said Aburish, Palestinian Refugee and biographer of the late Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat.  UNRWA is not just a humanitarian agency.  Its political stance is evident at all levels of the organization.  A report from the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education, says that the 2016-2017 curriculum for elementary schools in PA, partly funded by UNRWA, "teaches students to be martyrs, to demonize and deny the existence of Israel, and to focus on a 'return' to an exclusively Palestinian country."

Moving beyond UNRWA.  The recent decision by the American administration to withhold significant funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees has been met with warnings of a humanitarian crisis and regional unrest.  This is a mistaken reaction.  Instead of smearing this bold decision as a perceived slight, the United Nations should seize this moment and use it as a catalyst to implement both short- and long-term changes to UNRWA's mandate.  In the immediate future, UNRWA must undergo significant reform and enhanced oversight must be put into place.  Then, steps must be taken to finally end the role of this nearly 70-year-old organization.

Report: United Nations Rife With Sexual Harassment And Assault.  Now we know what the UN is doing when it's not passing resolutions to condemn Israel or sending peacekeepers around the world to molest local children.  According to a report at the Guardian Thursday, the staff at the UN experience frequent sexual harassment and assault, including rape.

U.N. Agency Won't Say How Many Palestinian 'Refugees' It Helps After Census Finds Nearly Two Thirds Less.  The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which ministers to so-called Palestinian refugees, would not comment when asked by Breitbart Jerusalem to provide the total number of Palestinian "refugees" that UNRWA services in Lebanon.  This after Lebanon's census data recently placed the number of Palestinian "refugees" living in the country at about one third of the nearly 500,000 reported by UNRWA.

Chicago Needs To Think Twice Before Begging For UN "Peacekeeping" Troops.  So the One World Government crowd in Chicago thinks they are doing the right thing by requesting United Nations "peacekeeping" troops to patrol their streets to root out crime and dispense with firearms?  If you only had a clue as to what you are asking for — well, maybe some of you do and the idea doesn't bother you.  You feel you are taking an important step into the corridors of potential One World government and if only you show the way, others may follow your shining example.  Though others may try to follow your example, they will curse you for it in the end, once they wake up and find out what you have unleashed in this country.

Dredging Turtle Bay, Another Swamp Just Begging to Be Drained.  There is never enough time or space to mock the United Nations adequately.  Almost since the moment it was created the UN's principal purpose has been to provide a forum for the dictators, despots, rogues, and terrorists to bash the United States, to vote to condemn America or Israel — or both — without fear of even the most modest reprisal.  After last week, that may change because President Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley have threatened to cut foreign aid to those nations that voted against us last week.  They may also cut our annual funding of the UN.  It's high time for us to do so.

Haley announces $285M cut in 2018-19 UN operating budget.  Calling it "a big step in the right direction," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Sunday night announced a historic reduction in the U.N. biennial operating budget.  Haley said the plan calls for a $285 million cut for the 2018-19 fiscal year.  "The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known," Haley said.  "We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked."

UN ingrates.  At the General Assembly, 128 nations voted whoopee against the United States for its part in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  Yes, they stabbed us in the back... even Germany.  I mention Germany because when it comes to the United States, let alone Israel, you'd think they'd still be in a mood to atone.  Not when the chips are down.

Why Trump Should Stop Funding the U.N.'s Palestinian 'Refugee' Agency.  Amid the Trump administration's threats about cutting funding to the United Nations and member states, the White House should seriously consider entirely defunding the scandalous U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which ministers to so-called Palestinian refugees.  The U.S. is UNRWA's single largest donor, and the Trump administration has reportedly been mulling whether to continue providing its annual contribution of more than $300 million.

The US Should Pull Out of the UN.  President Trump and Ambassador Haley deserve lots of credit for fighting the good fight in the UN. But as this latest vote showed, it's a dead end.  The UN is dominated by a corrupt, left-wing bureaucracy.  And by bloc votes of Islamic countries and third world dictatorships whom Western countries strive to appease in a pointless bid for influence.  Because we fund them.  The UN was supposed to be a defense against totalitarian movements.  Instead it quickly came to be dominated by them.

Chicago WCKG radio station manager says UN troops [are] already in Chicago.  Chicago, a gun-control city ravaged by gun homicides, is in Cook County, Illinois.  On December 14, 2017, in complete defiance of protocol and in violation of U.S. sovereignty, County Cook Commissioner Richard Boykin told CBS Chicago that "we're headed to the United Nations to meet with the Assistant Secretary General" to ask that the UN "help out" by dispatching troops ("peacekeepers") to Chicago to quell its gun violence.

Taking names:  Guess which countries support the U.S. in the U.N.?  Among the small circle of countries that supported the U.S. in the United Nations Thursday, where a vote was taken to condemn the U.S. for moving its Israel embassy to Jerusalem, a few stick out as fairly unexpected — most of all from the Americas.  Here is the list: Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Togo.  Honduras?  Guatemala?  Those countries actually voted "no" on condemning the U.S.  They didn't try to weasel out of it by abstaining; they really voted "no."  They actually sided with the U.S.'s sovereign prerogative to make its own decisions on where to site the U.S. embassy in Israel in an affirmative way.  Compare and contrast with our longtime allies such as the United Kingdom, which couldn't even be bothered to abstain.

Nikki Haley Shoots Down UN Resolution Condemning Trump's Jerusalem Decision.  The U.S. vetoed Monday [12/18/2017] a United Nations Security Council resolution calling on President Donald Trump to "withdraw" his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.  Casting the lone opposition vote against 14 votes in favor, U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley called the resolution "an insult" that won't be forgotten.  She has repeatedly criticized the U.N. for anti-Israel bias and for holding what she calls "Israel-bashing sessions" in the guise of legitimate diplomatic business.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley Outlines Evidence of Growing Threats From Iran.  In a stunning display of international transparency, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley presents actual, physical, incontrovertible and, yes, uncomfortable, evidence of Iranian weapons that have been used by proxy fighters against allied nations.  The presentation takes place at joint base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, DC and consists of formerly classified intelligence gathering presented openly to the international community.  Ambassador Nikki Haley presents an assembly of actual Iranian missiles and weapons that have been fired against mid-east allies within the peace coalition.  [Video clip]

Nikki Haley Stands Tall At UN: Slams UN For Its Hatred Of Israel.  Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday [12/8/2017], UN Ambassador Nikki Haley refused to back down from the United States' commitment to recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, asserting, "We must recognize that the prospect of peace is advanced, not set back," by President Trump's move to do so.  She said bluntly, "I understand the concerns that members have in calling this session.  Change is hard."  She added that the United States was more committed to peace "than we've ever been before — and we believe we might be closer to that goal than ever before."

Amina Mohammed, UN dep Sec-Gen fingered in $300m timber scandal.  Nigeria's former minister for environment and current United Nations deputy secretary general, Amina J. Mohammed has been identified as allegedly playing a major role in the clearance of over 10,000 containers of illegally harvested logs of Timber.  The shipment is said to be worth $300 million.  According to a documentary seen by DAILY POST, the Chinese government in 2016 stopped the importation of the containers.  But in early 2017 over 4,000 permits were issued by the Nigerian government, thus prompting the Chinese government to release the illegally imported goods into China.

Oops, The UN 'Found' Another Terror Tunnel Under a UN School — Terror In The Classroom Runs Deep.  Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon reacted harshly to the revelation of a terror tunnel under an UNRWA school.  'Yet another terror tunnel under an UNRWA schoolyard.  This is what Hamas rule looks like and this is more proof of the double war-crime committed as terror tunnels are built to attack Israelis, while using the children of Gaza as human shields' said Danon.

Cutting Off UNESCO: Nice Start, Now How About The Rest Of The Israel-Hating U.N.?  Among the many enduring disappointments of the United Nations is its profound and at times shocking anti-Israel sentiment, which verges on a kind of sick obsession that runs completely contrary to the U.N.'s founding principles.  But UNESCO is particularly bad.  How bad?  In 2011, it went too far even for the Obama administration by giving "Palestine," a state that doesn't exist, full membership in UNESCO.  Under President Obama, the U.S. stayed in the organization, but suspended its payments.  That's not all, however. [...]

Good Riddance to UNESCO.  It was easy to miss it during a hectic week, but on Thursday, the United States announced its withdrawal from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).  Good riddance.  In 2011, the U.S. substantially cut funding to UNESCO after the organization granted the Palestinian Authority full membership.  But while Barack Obama asked Congress to restore funding, the Trump administration has taken the appropriate next step.  UNESCO's embrace of the Palestinians in 2011 was par for the course for an organization that is a dependable opponent of Israel.

The U.N. Is Designed to Fail.  Best-known for its so-called "peace-keeping" efforts in areas of conflict — where it enjoys a mixed record, at best — the organization's other agencies, commissions and panels have a dismal record of accomplishment, especially while acting as the world's regulator-wannabe for all manner of products and processes.  The U.N. regularly panders to activists and, not coincidentally, adopts policies that expand its own scope and responsibilities.  Science routinely gets short shrift in U.N. brokered international agreements, where everything becomes an exercise in international horse-trading.

President Trump Needs to Ditch the United Nations Now.  Donald Trump campaigned and was elected as an agent of radical change.  He promised to roll back the policies on big government at home and transnational cooperation abroad that both parties have endorsed for years.  His campaign rhetoric about the "useless UN" and the "unfair" Paris Climate Accords suggested he understood that such organizations and treaties fleece Americans while handing over national sovereignty to other countries eager to gain leverage over us.  But Trump's recent comments about renegotiating the Paris agreement and reforming the UN imply an acceptance of the assumptions on which both are built: that multilateral cooperation is better able to serve the interests and security of the United States.  If this is so, then Trump is buying into the flaws of those assumptions that need to be utterly discredited in order to enact meaningful change.

Check Out The Insidious Evil Of The United Nations' "Replacement Migration" Plan.  You ever wonder why the odd and continually determined push/demand that developed nations take in MILLIONS of Muslim refugees?

Replacement Migration.  United Nations projections indicate that over the next 50 years, the populations of virtually all countries of Europe as well as Japan will face population decline and population ageing.  The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration.  Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union).  Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.

UN to name Yankee Stadium a Palestinian Heritage Site.  Well why not?  If they own the Cave of the Patriarchs all bets are off and they own everything, including Yankee Stadium, which to American culture is hallowed ground for the memories of Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson and at this rate, some day Aaron Judge.  In fact I'd be surprised if Mahmoud Abbas hasn't already put in his bid.  All he has to do is ask and UNESCO says sure, it's yours.  When it comes to those UNESCO clowns — the 195 nations that make up the UN's "heritage center" — the other shoe always drops.

Hamas tunnel discovered underneath UNRWA school.  A Hamas terrorist tunnel was discovered under a school in Gaza run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), Israeli media reported on Friday [6/9/2017].  The tunnel was discovered a week and a half ago, according to the reports.  The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, confirmed the discovery of the tunnel in a post on his Facebook page in Arabic.  "The tunnel was discovered underneath a school for boys in Al-Maazi...It is clear that the entire Arab world understands that it is the Hamas terror organization that destroys Gaza and eliminates any chance of a good future for Gazans," wrote Mordechai.

More Madness at the UN: Big Government Is a Human Right?  [Scroll down]  While all these nations protect each other from scrutiny, the Human Rights Council vilifies Israel at every turn.  In its view, Israel is a greater human rights violator than all other countries combined.  But the Council is not the only UN body drowning in unintended irony.  The 45-member Commission on the Status of Women — is there a single issue for which a meaningless UN bureaucracy does not exist? — recently selected Saudi Arabia as a member.  This auspicious panel, according to the UN, is to be involved in "promoting women's rights, documenting the reality of women's lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women."  Saudi Arabia's role is precisely what?  It treats women like chattel.  And has provided recruits and money to terrorists who have sold Christian and Yazidi women as sex slaves.

WHO spends more on travel costs than fighting AIDS.  The World Health Organization is spending more money on the travel bug than on fighting AIDS or malaria, according to a new report.  The UN health agency blows around $200 million a year on travel costs so its honchos can fly business class and stay in five-star hotels — more than what it reserves for battling some of the world's biggest health crisis, the AP reports.

U.N.'s Global Warming Fraudsters Are More Interested In Climate Cash Than Climate Change.  Just when you think the climate change lunacy couldn't get any worse, the U.N.'s climate-crats up the ante.  Meeting in Bonn, Germany, for yet another unneeded climate conference, attendees are now demanding $300 billion a year more to help less-developed nations cope with anticipated climatic warming.  Are they kidding?  By the way, that $300 billion is in addition to the $100 billion that the world's governments have already promised to deliver under the Paris Climate Agreement.  So now they're asking for a total of $400 billion a year in climate welfare for the developing world.  No sane government would sign on to such a scam.  Which of course means that most of them probably will.

The squalid sanctimony of the United Nations.  It turns out the Office of the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights has cautioned President Trump that repeal of ObamaCare would put the United States "at odds with its international obligations."  The five-page "urgent appeal" from the UNHCR office in Geneva warned that taking away health coverage would violate "the right to social security of the people in the United States."  Meanwhile, the world body just showed its own contempt for human rights by electing Saudi Arabia to serve on the UN Commission on the Status of Women, whose mission is to promote "gender equality and the empowerment of women" across the globe.  Last year's Global Gender Gap report from the World Economic Forum ranked Saudi Arabia 141 out of 144 countries on gender equality.  Saudi women can't drive and must let male guardians make most of their decisions and accompany them in public.

UN warned Trump that ObamaCare repeal could violate international law.  The United Nations warned the Trump administration earlier this year that repealing ObamaCare without providing an adequate replacement would be a violation of multiple international laws, according to a new report.  Though the Trump administration is likely to ignore the U.N. warning, The Washington Post reported the Office of the U.N. High Commission on Human Rights in Geneva sent an "urgent appeal" on Feb 2.  The Post reported that the confidential, five-page memo cautioned that the repeal of the Affordable Care Act would put the U.S. "at odds with its international obligations."

US to Withhold $32.5 Million from UN Population Fund, Will Support Life.  The State Department announced last Monday [4/3/2017] that the United States will withhold funding of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) due to the serious ethical and moral issues surrounding the controversial UN group — especially regarding concerns about its role in forced abortion in China.  The United States will withhold $32.5 million from the population control organization for the 2017 fiscal year on the grounds that the UNFPA "supports, or participates in the management of, a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization."  This action by the Trump administration marks the first follow-up to promised cuts to the United Nations budget and comes not long after President Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy, which prevents taxpayer funds from being distributed to groups that perform or promote abortions internationally.

US withdraws funding for United Nations Population Fund.  The US says it is withdrawing funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), an agency that promotes family planning in more than 150 countries.  The state department says the agency supports or participates in a programme of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation in China.

More than Just Another Anti-Israel U.N. Farce.  It isn't easy to get worked up at the United Nations, an institution where the egregious is merely business as usual.  But even veteran observers of the world body had to sit up and take notice when its Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia published a report about Israel that Secretary General Antonio Gutteres himself immediately disavowed.

Team Trump is already [effective] at the United Nations.  As US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley pointed out Monday [3/20/2017], only one country is subjected to regular scrutiny and condemnation in each of the three annual sessions of the 47-member Geneva-based human-rights body.  Guess which one.  "It's not Syria, where the regime has systematically slaughtered and tortured its own people," Haley said.  "It's not Iran, where public hangings are a regular occurrence.  It's not North Korea, where the regime uses forced labor camps to crush its people into submission.  "It's Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East."

Trump wants UN funds cut more than 50 percent: report.  President Trump's administration has told the State Department to cut more than 50 percent of U.S. funding to United Nations programs, Foreign Policy reported.  The push for the drastic reductions comes as the White House is scheduled to release its 2018 topline budget proposal Thursday [3/16/2017], which is expected to include a 37 percent cut to the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development budgets.  It's not clear if Trump's budget plan, from the Office of Management and Budget, would reflect the full extent of Trump's proposed cuts to the U.N.

Why Trump Should Quit the Dangerous and Immoral United Nations' International Treaty on Climate Change.  The New York Times is urging President Trump to ignore the facts and the evidence, and instead listen to the siren voices of his daughter Ivanka, his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the various assorted members of the Climate Industrial Complex who would prefer the U.S. to remain shackled to one of the most stupid and pointless agreements in American history.  They want him to keep the U.S. stuck in the disastrous and ill-advised United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Rips Security Council's 'Breathtaking' Anti-Israel Bias.  United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley issued a scathing criticism of the UN Security Council over their "anti-Israel" bias on Thursday [2/16/2017] after emerging from her first regular monthly meeting at the international body.  "I have to admit; it was a bit strange," Haley said of the council's agenda.

Global Effort Launched to "Repeal and Replace" United Nations.  A global effort dubbed "Covenant of Democratic Nations" is working to abolish the United Nations, widely ridiculed as the "dictators club," and replace it with an international forum open exclusively to free and democratic nations.  Basically, it is a "repeal and replace" campaign to protect the world from the UN and its increasingly vicious attacks on freedom and self-government.  A number of lawmakers around the world have expressed interest in the campaign as the movement travels from city to city hosting events to expose the UN and promote an alternative.

Investigation Exposes UN Agents Inciting Terrorism, Hate.  The United Nations Relief and Works Agency is under fire yet again over employees who publicly promote terrorism, praise National Socialist mass-murderer Adolf Hitler, support violent jihad, and foment hatred of Jews.  The latest accusations, documented in a 130-page report provided to U.S. lawmakers, come from an investigation by the non-profit watchdog group UN Watch.  Dozens of UN agents and employees were implicated, including many with access to children.

Obama's last money shower for the UN: some $9.2 billion.  In its last year in office, the Obama Administration showered at least some $9.2 billion on the United Nations and its sprawling array of organizations, according to a document recently posted on the State Department website.  The total is gleaned from a document that summarizes U.S. government spending for international organizations, and is about 20 percent higher than the $7.7 billion figure given out by State for 2010, before the Obama Administration abruptly quit providing any overall tally for its U.N. support.

Trump's hard-nosed executive order asks what U.N. money is going for-and is it worth it?  [H]ow much money does the U.S. give to the United Nations, what is the money going for[,] and is it worth it?  The Administration's tough strategy is specifically aimed at reducing, rather than eliminating, U.S. support for the world organization and will not affect, at least in the short term, Washington's current dues-paying commitment to pay 22 percent of the U.N.'s so-called "regular" budget ($5.6 billion for 2016-2017) and 28.5 percent of its peacekeeping obligations ($7.9 billion) this year.

5 Reasons Trump Is Absolutely Right to Slash UN Funding.  [#3] UN schools have housed weapons stockpiles for terrorists.  The UN's own report found that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas stored and fired rockets from UNRWA schools in Gaza.  These rockets were directed at Israeli innocent civilians.  In other words, UN-sponsored facilities were used to engage in war crimes. [...] [#4] UN peacekeepers have recently been found guilty of child sexual abuse.  As The Daily Wire reported:  "UN peacekeepers sexually abused children in the Central African Republic (CAR).  Reports of sexual abuse in CAR first emerged in May 2014.  By 2016, NGOs, international papers, and other monitoring groups had uncovered hundreds of cases of pedophilia, rape, and quid pro quo sex abuse directed against the poor, starving, and embattled people of CAR.

Next on Trump's List:  Rein in the UN Dictators Club.  Establishment globalists were right to be concerned about the fate of their schemes.  After a fast-paced first week of putting "America First" by targeting pseudo-"free trade" regimes and rogue regulatory agencies, President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take on the United Nations.  Its swarms of agencies, programs, bureaucracies, conventions, and associated schemes are also in the crosshairs.  According to a January 25 report in the anti-Trump New York Times, which claimed to have seen a set of draft orders being prepared by the administration, Trump plans to drastically reduce the U.S. government's role at the UN and other international organizations.  He is also planning a review of sovereignty-stealing UN treaties, with a view toward restoring self-government in various policy areas and saving U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.  Globalists everywhere are in a panic.

Trump team ponders changes to U.S. commitment to United Nations.  The Trump administration is considering actions that would reduce the U.S. commitment to the United Nations and evaluate whether the United States should pull out of multi-national treaties, officials said.  The results could be reduced American funding for the U.N. agencies and withdrawal from treaties like the Paris climate accord reached by the Obama administration, said the two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the actions were not completed yet.

House Bill Wants US To Break From UN.  A bill introduced to the House of Representatives, called the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017, is looking to break the United States away from the United Nations completely.  The bill, introduced by Republican Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers, was recently sent to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.  Rogers proposed a similar bill in 2015, saying in a statement at that time that, "The U.N. continues to prove it's an inefficient bureaucracy and a complete waste of American tax dollars."

Trump's new bill could pull USA out of United Nations in funding row.  President Donald Trump is taking his inauguration promise to put 'America first' seriously with Republicans submitting a new bill to pull the US out of the United Nations.  Proposed by congressman Mike Rogers, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act also seeks a complete withdrawal from membership of the World Health Organisation.  And Republicans have even demanded the UN remove its headquarters from New York in a shocking blow to global relations.

Trump nominee Nikki Haley set to show skepticism about value of U.N..  South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley pledged Wednesday to forcefully advance American interests as the U.S. ambassador at the United Nations after what she called a retreat from global leadership under the Obama administration.  Haley questioned the priorities and effectiveness of the world body,which President-elect Donald Trump has called a toothless debating society, but said she intends to "fix" what doesn't work.

Samantha Power Warns Against Cutting US Funding to UN.  US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power on Friday [1/13/2017] warned that cutting US funding to the United Nations would be "extremely detrimental" to American interests, one week before Donald Trump's administration takes office.  Addressing her final news conference, Power told reporters that "countries like Russia and China" would benefit from Washington's reduced standing at the United Nations if funding were withdrawn.

Disunity and Impotence at the United Nations.  The mandate of the United Nations is to preserve peace in the world, but when it comes to the Syrian crisis, the global body has failed badly.

Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz team up to defund UN over Israel vote.  The United States taxpayer must stop paying into the United Nations until it reverses its vote condemning Israel's occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, two top senators said Thursday.  Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, appeared together on MSNBC about a new bill introduced Thursday that would block taxpayer dollars from going toward the U.N. Graham said the resolution passed last month, which the United States abstained from, was a step too far in attacking Israel and it must be undone.  "Twenty-two percent of the money to fund the U.N. comes from the American taxpayer.  I don't think it's a good investment for the American taxpayer to give money to an organization that condemns the only democracy in the Middle East," he said.

Graham and Cruz Introduce Resolution to End Taxpayer Funding of UN — Unless....  Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) announced on Thursday they are introducing a resolution to end all U.S. taxpayer funding for the United Nations "unless and until" the U.N. reverses a measure condemning Israel.  U.N. resolution 2334 is the first one condemning Israeli settlements in disputed territories to have been adopted by the Security Council in more than three decades.  The U.N. passed the resolution just before Christmas, after the Obama administration abstained, rather than use its veto power to kill it.

Israel to Cut $6 Million in UN Funding Over Anti-Settlement Resolution.  Israel on Friday [1/6/2017] suspended about $6 million in funding to the United Nations to protest a Security Council resolution demanding an end to settlements in the West Bank[.]  The council adopted the resolution last month after the United States refrained from using a veto to block the measure in a break from its usual practice of shielding its Middle East ally.

UN follows up settlement vote with 'blacklist' plan for Israeli companies.  Critics who thought the U.S. opened the UN's anti-Israel floodgates by abstaining on a vote condemning settlements last week say an obscure subsequent move by the world body to establish a "blacklist" of Israeli companies proved them right.  Lost amid the angry words that followed the Dec. 23 UN Security Council vote that critics called an American betrayal of Israel was a Christmas Eve appropriation of $138,700 to fund a database of companies doing business in the West Bank.  The measure puts UN prestige behind the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, say critics.

Diplomatic Terrorism at the U.N..  The vicious condemnation of Israel at the UN Security Council on December 23, 2016 is a watershed moment in U.S.-UN relations — albeit not as President Obama hoped.  Following the vote of fourteen in favor and one American abstention, Palestinian representative Riyadh Mansour and American Ambassador Samantha Power exchanged a telling handshake.  Evidently, President Obama believes that he has put one over on Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the incoming Trump administration.  But here's another possibility:  treachery at the UN will not be cost-free.

What if Obama dropped Hillary's email bombs?  Obama is a major narcissist who always wants to expand his personal power.  Being president has not satisfied his power-hungry ego; nothing ever will.  For months he has been talking about running for a third term, and he's back at it today.  Washington speculation has long focused on Obama's ambition to become SecGen of the U.N., an office he could try to expand into a genuine power center to achieve the utopian fantasy of the left, a world order in which everything is "properly" controlled from a dictatorial center.  This is consistent with the worst kind of Marxism, but it is also the dream of jihad:  world conquest.  Obama has shown time and time again that he is a sort of Marxo-jihadophile.

Huckabee: Cut Funding to UN, Support Vets Instead.  Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said the United States should stop giving money to the United Nations — and use the money instead on U.S. veterans.  In an interview on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Wednesday night [12/28/2016], Huckabee said he hopes a cut-off in funding to the UN will be one of Donald Trump's first acts as president.

The Case for Booting the UN Out of America Grows Stronger.  In his lame-duck attempt to undermine the State of Israel with a diplomatic knifing in the front, President Obama has created fertile ground for a campaign to lead the United States out of the United Nations. [... In 2015] Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL) alongside a number of other Congressmen and women floated the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (ASA). [...] Commenting at the time, Rep. Mike Rogers said:  "Why should the American taxpayer bankroll an international organization that works against America's interests around the world?" The time is now to restore and protect American sovereignty and get out of the United Nations."

The Obama Intifada.  People across the political spectrum throughout the United States and Israel have called out Obama for his unprecedented, lame-duck abstention allowing for a harshly biased anti-Israel resolution to pass.  It is clear that his hands are pulling the strings to make this happen are clear, as is his vindictiveness.  The outcome of this will not be a greater likelihood for peace, but rather it will prevent peace breaking out any time soon.  Obama has emboldened and played into the hands of — even provided the road map for — terrorists and others who vilify and de-legitimize Israel at every turn.  They have internalized that they do not have to negotiate with Israel to score diplomatic victories.  All they have to do is whine incessantly and threaten endlessly, and Obama and others will give them what they want.

Now's the time to rein in a failed United Nations.  We've come a long way from Daniel Patrick Moynihan excoriating the United Nations' 1975 "Zionism is racism" resolution in one of the finer exhibits of righteous indignation in the history of American speechifying.  The Obama administration acceded to — and, reportedly, assisted behind the scenes — a less notorious but still noxious Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements.  By the administration's lights, the action is clever — it will be extremely difficult to reverse and will increase Israel's international isolation.  But the bipartisan outrage over a resolution that, once again, demonstrates the United Nations' hostility to our closet ally in the Middle East affords an opportunity to force an overdue crisis in the US-UN relationship.

UN Withdrawal:  Never Wound a King.  American should not withdraw from the United Nations without first ensuring that the organization cannot retaliate. [...] Before the UN can be abandoned, it must be defanged, declawed, discredited and otherwise rendered so weak that it cannot be used against us when we finally do exit that noxious relic of World War II.  In addition, the actions taken should not only weaken the United Nations, but push as many other members into our camp as possible.

Mounting Evidence of Administration Dishonesty Over U.N. Resolution.  Evidence that the Obama administration is being dishonest regarding the anti-Israel U.N. resolution continues to emerge.  This article by Adam Kredo in the Washington Free Beacon shows there is good reason to believe that, contrary to the administration's claims, Team Obama was a major architect of and driving force behind the condemnatory resolution.  Kredo cites the following:  [#1] There is evidence from multiple sources that Joe Biden phoned Ukraine's president to ensure that country voted in favor of the resolution, though Biden denies it.  [#2] Documents believed to have been leaked by Egypt show that John Kerry met with senior Palestinian diplomat Saeb Erekat, with Kerry pledging not to veto a condemnatory resolution is worded to the administration's satisfaction.  The document has not, to my knowledge, been authenticated, and the White House denies that such a meeting occurred.

Trump Can Reverse Obama's Betrayal Of Israel By Defunding The U.N..  Working hand-in-hand with Israel's enemies, Obama and his Secretary of State John Kerry no doubt thought that they were pulling a clever trick on Israel, which has suffered repeated diplomatic insults and attempts at undermining its very existence during the Obama years.  By abstaining in a vote that declared Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem illegal, the U.S. has undermined the possibility of talks between Israel and the Palestinians that will lead to anything even remotely resembling peace.

Drive the U.N. Into the Sea.  This weekend, on the eve of the Jewish holiday that marks that people's resistance to savage pagan occupation (Chanukah), the U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution that is stunning in its moral blindness.  It condemned all Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — two regions where Jews lived for thousands of years before an Arab set foot in Palestine. [...] Jews are buying land and moving to the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  In theory, this shouldn't be a problem for a new Palestinian state; these Jews would form a tiny minority of its citizens, much smaller than the Arab contingent of Israeli citizens.  So why are Jewish settlements considered an obstructionist "barrier to peace"? Why condemn Israel for letting its citizens buy land and live there?

Dershowitz: 'Money Counts At the UN,' U.S. Should Threaten To Defund UN Over Anti-Israel Bias.  Wednesday [12/28/2016] on AM 970's "The Joe Piscopo Show," while discussing the recent United Nations security resolution criticizing Israel settlements, lawyer, author and emeritus law professor at Harvard University Alan Dershowitz said the United States needs to "threaten to defund the United Nations."  Dershowitz said, "There is an automatic anti Israel bias at the UN.  Consider the following story — this happened less than a year ago — the head of the UN Ban Ki-moon put Saudi Arabia on a blacklist of countries that mistreat children during wartime and the head of the Saudis called Ban Ki-moon and said unless you take us off of the blacklist we will stop sending money to the UN, and Ban Ki-moon said alright and he took them off the blacklist."

The United Nations Gets Krauthammered:  Trump Should 'Turn It Into Condos' .  Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer launched a verbal assault against the United Nations on Fox News Monday evening [12/26/2016]  [Video clip].

Destroy the United Nations.  Sometimes enough really is just enough.  And so it is here.  The United Nations, which emerged out of the ashes of the Second World War and the Shoah but which has come to embody that which it was initially formed to oppose, has long ceased serving any useful function.  Ironically founded in no small part to better secure the Jewish fate, the wretched hive of morally relativistic scum and Western values-loathing villainy has long succumbed to strongman sycophancy, noxious Arab supremacism, and perverse Islamist-Leftist dogma.

Obama's Israel Vendetta Opens the Door for Trump to Defund the UN.  Donald Trump — who is seeking to spend a ton of taxpayer money on rebuilding our military and infrastructure — is undoubtedly looking for places to save.  Nowhere would be better to start than that moribund center of international corruption and megaphone for tin-pot dictators, the United Nations.  What started out after World War II as the idealistic coming together of nations to end war ended up being one of the giant ripoffs of all time.  The UN oil-for-food scandal during the Iraq War showed how extreme it had become.

US Should Not Only Defund UN But Withdraw From It.  The United States pays 22% of the total UN budget.  What we get for our $3 billion a year is a corrupt organization whose dysfunctional and hostile agencies are united in opposing us around the world.  The United Nations does only two things consistently and effectively: waste money and bash Israel.  Sometimes it manages to do both at the same time.  After an extended, and no doubt costly, visit to the region, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women blamed Muslim men beating their wives on Israeli settlements.

The Editor says...
Yes indeed, defund the UN, withdraw from it, and evict the UN from the United States!

Obama Taught Us Well:  We Must Drain the U.N. Swamp.  President Obama's refusal to veto the sickening UN Security Council resolution against Israel yesterday was an act of pure malice.  The resolution, demanding an immediate halt to all Israeli "settlement" construction, was proposed by New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela and Senegal after its original sponsor, Egypt, had withdrawn.  No one can be in any doubt, though, that the resolution's real sponsor was Obama, acting behind the backs of the US Congress and the American people.  Clearly it makes a negotiated settlement between Israel and the Palestinians very much harder, since the Palestinians will now have no incentive to negotiate the boundaries of a future Palestine state.

U.N. Goes All-In For Unlimited Migration.  The United Nations has cooked up a "New Urban Agenda" coming soon to a city near you.  It was unveiled this week in Quito, Ecuador, at the so-called Habitat III conference.  And part of the plan, enthusiastically embraced by Hillary Clinton, calls for unlimited migration across open borders.  Migrants displaced by war, failing economies or other hardships will be seen as having "rights" in nations other than their own.  Cities are seen as the key battlegrounds and the U.N. conference in Quito had a lot to say about how your city will be expected to embrace migrants of all types, from all regions of the world.

UN apologizes for Haiti's cholera epidemic without noting it brought the disease.  United Nations Secretary Ban Ki-moon has ended — sort of — six years of UN stonewalling over Haiti's mammoth cholera epidemic with a weak apology that the world organization "simply did not do enough" about the epidemic, without mentioning that UN peacekeepers brought the deadly disease to the hemisphere's poorest country in the first place.  Ban's statement Thursday [12/1/2016] to the UN General Assembly declared that "we are profoundly sorry for our role," without going into the specifics of what that role actually was.

A Proper Contempt for the UN.  In the announcement that South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will accept the role of American Ambassador to the United Nations under President Donald Trump, there is plenty to celebrate.  The foremost of which is perhaps the contempt for the prevailing diplomatic culture in Turtle Bay inherent in the selection.

Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous.  [#3] Wants to curtail American sovereignty:  Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies.  He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be "downsized."  In 1998, he wrote:  "Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions."

Congresswomen Carolyn Maloney suggests United Nations as next step for Hillary Clinton.  Hillary Clinton may be down, but she's not out.  Clinton will never stop working and could do some great work with the United Nations, New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-Astoria) suggested to PIX11's Marvin Scott.  "She will never stop working," Maloney said.  "She will always make a difference and will always be a part of the dialogue in a positive way to advance the values of America and to advance the causes that she believes in."  Clinton may be able to do that by working for the United Nations, Maloney said.  The congresswoman believes Clinton would make an excellent ambassador to the U.N. and feels President-elect Donald Trump should consider her for the position.

The Editor says...
Let us first wait and see if Hillary's calendar is clear:  She might be busy making license plates for the next few years.  On the other hand, she might be ideally suited for a job at the UN.

UNsilenced: Whistleblower Exposes UN Culture of Corruption.  When she stumbled across massive corruption and made-up statistics in her job at the United Nations, Rasna Warah knew she needed to act.  But when she tried to blow the whistle, she was viciously attacked, publicly humiliated, threatened, intimidated, and more.  Unfortunately, though, as Warah explains in her new book UNsilenced [...], her case is far from unique.  In fact, the corruption and lawlessness across the UN appears to be systemic.  Some of the cases described in the book and the pages of The New American magazine make the scandals she exposed and the retaliation she suffered seem mild by comparison.  Indeed, in her book, she actually spends very little time dwelling on her own case, but delves instead into some of the many other known and unknown scandals to rock the global organization.

Behind Closed Doors, UN "Health" Agency Plots Global Control.  The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) will be meeting behind closed doors next month to push more and higher taxes around the world, sparking outrage from journalists, stakeholders, taxpayers, and more.  Under the guise of reducing tobacco consumption and raising money for governments, the controversial global "health" outfit's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is also concocting broad policy measures having to do with border security, trade, "public health," and more.  And according to experts, some of those policy prescriptions, ironically, contribute to furthering illicit trade and, by extension, end up helping to fund terrorism.  Others will fuel increased tobacco use, experts said.

$3 Billion Embezzlement Scandal Could Cost DiCaprio UN Climate Change Position.  Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio was urged Friday to step down from his climate change position with the United Nations or renounce connections to a group that allegedly embezzled millions to gain favor with the White House.  The Bruno Manser Funds wants the actor to forfeit his special designation as U.N. Messenger of Peace after revelations the Oscar-award winning actor was tied to the Malaysian Fund 1MDB scandal.  A foreign businessman used money from the Malaysian Fund to secure a White House visit for relatives of the Malaysian prime minister, according to public officials.  The nearly $3 billion scandal is being called the world's biggest white-collar crime.

UNESCO says New York is not part of America.  A day after declaring that there is no Jewish connection to the Western Wall and Temple Mount, next on the agenda for UNESCO is New York City, which the UN agency says is also disconnected and not part of the United States.  From now on, New York City will be known by its Arabic name.  Infidels must leave.  "We are looking into Paris as well," a UNESCO official told this reporter.  UNESCO is headquartered in Paris.  This could create a problem for the thousands the UN employs at what used to be the capital of France.  Would they be moved to London?  "No," we were told.  "London is next to go.  There is no evidence that London was ever a part of Britain."  What does that mean?  "It means that henceforth London will be known by its Arabic name."

UNESCO says Jews have no connection to Temple Mount.  The UN passed a resolution Thursday denying the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall[.]  The resolution was supported by 24 states, including Russia and China.  6 countries opposed and 26 abstained.  The resolution maintains that the Western Wall and Temple Mount will be referred to by their Arabic names and the Hebrew terms for the sites will only appear in quotation marks in UN references.

US election:  Trump presidency 'dangerous', says UN rights chief.  Donald Trump's "deeply unsettling and disturbing" views make him a danger internationally, the UN's human rights chief has said.  UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad al-Hussein cited Mr Trump's comments on the use of torture and his attitude to "vulnerable communities".  The Republican presidential candidate's campaign has been marked by a number of controversial comments.  Recent crude remarks about women have caused the biggest political fallout.

For Next UN Secretary-General, A Managerially Incompetent Socialist.  In the race for the next United Nations secretary-general, the Security Council has narrowed the field of candidates from a remaining 10 to precisely one:  and the winner is, former Prime Minister of Portugal Antonio Guterres.  It could have been worse — but not by much.  Guterres brings to the job a record that suggests he is a perfect fit to head a UN that is prone to overreach, mismanagement, waste, fraud, abuse and government meddling in every aspect of life — provided we all want even more of the same.

The next UN Secretary General has some history to overcome.  The United Nations Security Council has formally agreed on a new Secretary General to succeed outgoing Ban Ki-moon next year:  former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres, 67.  The nomination now goes to the U.N. General Assembly for approval.  One of the big questions for the Secretary General-designate might well be:  can he do a better administrative job in his new role than he did in the past, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)?  In that area, Guterres has some history to overcome.

Ban Ki Moon's lies justify terrorism.  Obama could have prevented this.  On September 15, 2016 the Jerusalem Post reported that UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon condemned Israel for "oppressing" the Palestinians and declared that the settlements are "illegal" under international law.  Arutz7 reported that "...the UN chief appeared to excuse Palestinian terror attacks — on the same day as an Israeli woman died of injuries she sustained in a brutal stabbing attack yesterday [1/26/2016].  "Palestinian frustration is growing under the weight of a half century of occupation and the paralysis of the peace process," he said, blaming "the occupation" for causing "hatred and extremism."

UN agreement grants thousands of migrants free access to scores of countries.  Hundreds of thousands of refugees will be granted free access to 50 countries as the global political community agrees to share the burden of the migrant crisis.  The groundbreaking decision, made at the ongoing UN summit in New York, saw scores of nations agree to take a percentage of 360,000 refugees earmarked for resettlement.  This is double the number allowed to enter nations worldwide last year.

88 senators press Obama to uphold US policy to veto one-sided UN resolutions.  Eighty-eight US senators submitted a bipartisan letter Monday calling for President Barack Obama to uphold US policy that calls for a veto of any one-sided United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to a press release of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  The letter, initiated by Senators Kristen Gillibrant (D-NY) and Mike Rounds (R-SD) quotes Obama's speech to the General Assembly in 2011, in which he said, "Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the United Nations."

Look at WHO is in Charge of Sending Refugees to the United States.  Americans have overwhelmingly said they do not want refugees brought here.  However, Obama and his defenders, denounce all concern. [...] Refugees are selected, not from the State Department, but from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee (UNHCR) program.  This is a highly frightening reality for many reasons.  The United States is relying fully on the UNHCR for selection and pre-screening and deciding who gets to be 'resettled' here.  There is also concern for fraud in the way of payoffs or lying by refugees with those foreign workers just believing what the refugees say, without question.  Americans are being asked to fully put their faith in UNHCR.

The United Nations:  What's the Point?  What if the United Nations didn't exist?  It's a question easily answered, because for nearly all of human history, it didn't.  History "teaches us that order in international relations is the exception, rather than the rule," Kevin Rudd, the former Australian prime minister, writes in a new report on the uncertain future of the UN.  "Since the rise of the modern nation-state, bot h prior to and following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, disorder has been the dominant characteristic of inter-state relations."  We tend to think of the United Nations as just another part of the global furniture.  But it's actually a recent addition.

An Internet Giveaway to the U.N..  When the Obama administration announced its plan to give up U.S. protection of the internet, it promised the United Nations would never take control.  But because of the administration's naiveté or arrogance, U.N. control is the likely result if the U.S. gives up internet stewardship as planned at midnight on Sept. 30.

UN Investigating South Sudan Attack in Which Aid Workers Were Raped, Beaten While Peacekeepers Did Nothing.  A United Nations spokesman said Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is "concerned about allegations" that UN soldiers did nothing while aid workers were being raped and beaten nearby in South Sudan and will investigate.  After winning a battle against opposition forces in the capital Juba, some South Sudanese troops waged a more than four-hour attack against a compound of foreign aid workers.  "They shot dead a local journalist while forcing the foreigners to watch, raped several foreign women, singled out Americans, beat and robbed people and carried out mock executions," reported the Associated Press, based on witness accounts.  "For hours throughout the assault, the UN peacekeeping force stationed less than a mile away refused to respond to desperate calls for help.  Neither did embassies, including the U.S. embassy."  One female aid worker was raped by 15 soldiers.

U.N. Admits Role In Haiti Cholera Outbreak That Has Killed Thousands.  In the fall of 2010, months after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, a new disaster began:  a cholera outbreak that killed thousands of people and continues to sicken people across the country.  Experts determined that the source of the disease was a U.N. peacekeeping camp.  And now, nearly six years later, the United Nations has admitted it played some role in the deadly outbreak.

U.S., U.N. Stood by While South Sudan Troops Raped, Beat Aid Workers.  South Sudanese troops ravaged through a hotel complex frequented by foreign aid workers last month while a United Nations force stood by in a neighboring area and the U.S. Embassy did not act despite repeated pleas for help to both. [...] The harrowing incident underscores the failure of the U.N. peacekeeping force to protect civilians despite its mandate to do so, particularly those who are "just a few minutes' drive away," according to the Associated Press.  The U.N. approved a U.S.-sponsored resolution last week to send 4,000 more peacekeeping troops to South Sudan to enhance civilian protection in the region amid escalating aggression toward foreigners and aid workers by troops under President Salva Kiir.

Amid Haiti cholera epidemic, UN peacekeepers spill sewage and ignore water treatment, says internal report.  While the United Nations touted its efforts in Haiti aimed at ending the world's worst modern cholera epidemic — a calamity many experts assert the U.N. itself caused — U.N. peacekeepers were blatantly violating their own sanitary rules for containing the disease, according to an internal U.N. report that was suppressed for months.

Amid Haiti cholera epidemic, UN peacekeepers spill sewage and ignore water treatment, says internal report.  While the United Nations touted its efforts in Haiti aimed at ending the world's worst modern cholera epidemic — a calamity many experts assert the U.N. itself caused — U.N. peacekeepers were blatantly violating their own sanitary rules for containing the disease, according to an internal U.N. report that was suppressed for months. [...] The stunning array of negligent practices are laid out in an 18-page audit report by the U.N.'s watchdog Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), titled, "Audit of waste management in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti," which blandly declared that the "overall results" were "initially assessed as unsatisfactory."

U.N. Official:  U.S. Founded on Land Stolen From Indians, Built on Race-Based Slavery, BLM Movement Is Result.  On Wednesday, an official with the United Nations held a press conference and issued a statement following a 17-day tour of the United States, concluding that the country was founded on land stolen from the Indians, built on race-based slavery, and that the Black Lives Matter movement is the result of the country devaluing and destroying black people for "hundreds of years."  "The country was founded on land stolen from its indigenous Native Americans; its early economic strength was built on race-based slavery against people of African descent; and successive waves of immigrants have faced discrimination, harassment or worse," Maina Kiai, U.N. Special Rapporteur, said at the press conference in Washington, D.C.

The UN Funds Repressive Regimes at the Expense of US Taxpayers.  A new report shows how the U.S. contributes more money to the U.N. than it spends on shipbuilding for the Navy, yet there is a huge disparity in what it receives back compared to many repressive countries.  The United Nations recently released a report detailing the countries of registration of the recipient vendors of $17.6 billion the U.N. system spent on goods and services in 2015.  The report received some modest attention in the press.  However, the general unfamiliarity with the U.N. can lead to misunderstandings about what information this report was actually providing.  For instance, a Forbes article misinterpreted the report as one listing which countries contribute most to the U.N. system.

Obama Gives $500 Mil. to U.N. Climate Fund.  In a March 8 Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) hearing, the U.S. State Department announced it had delivered $500 million to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund (GCF), a program intended to help developing countries adapt to and mitigate climate changes.  Heather Higginbottom, deputy secretary of state for management and resources, announced the Obama administration had given money to GCF, which drew much criticism from SFRC members because Congress had not approved funding for GCF.  While being questioned by Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), Higginbottom told the committee the funds were diverted from the department's Economic Support Fund, which provides economic funding to foreign countries.  "Did Congress authorize the Green Climate Fund?  No ... We've reviewed the authority and the process under which we can do it, and our lawyers and we have determined that we have the ability to do it," Higginbottom testified.

After Brexit, UN Climate Regime in Trouble.  In addition to the devastating blow dealt to globalism generally, the historic British "Brexit" vote to exit the European Union could have far-reaching implications for the United Nations "climate" regime.  Concocted in Paris last year by the UN and its member governments, the controversial deal is unprecedented in terms of its full-blown promotion of regional governments, such as the EU, as crucial players in imposing the international agenda.  But with Brexit, that gamble has turned against the globalists, and now they are scrambling to save face amid a victorious "leave" campaign led largely by climate skeptics and realists.  Whether the Paris Agreement is doomed yet remains unclear.  Either way, though, the UN "climate" agreement is on increasingly shaky ground.

Academics: Nature Needs Seats At UN And 'Crimes Against Biodiversity'.  The best way to fix global warming is to punish "crimes against biodiverstiy," and give 25 seats at the United Nations (U.N.) to nature, according to an academic article published Thursday [6/30/2016].  The article, written by Anthony Burke and Stefanie Fishel, professors who study international relations and gender studies respectively, concludes massively empowering the U.N. is the best way to slow global warming.  "A 'crimes against biodiversity' law would act like a [crime against humanity] for the environment," Burke and Fishel's article states.  "Unlike international laws that punish genocide, our suggested law would not require proof of intent to commit the crime, but merely a strong link between the activity and the destruction of biodiversity or industrial and systemic harm to animals."

LGBT Groups Seek to Entrench Agenda at the UN.  The U.N. Human Rights Council, which was created in 2006 to replace the notoriously corrupt and ineffective Commission on Human Rights, has proven disappointing in fulfilling its twofold mandate of promoting the human rights enumerated in international law and holding governments accountable when they violate individuals' fundamental freedoms.  Instead, its meetings in Geneva are often a forum for liberal non-governmental organizations and their likeminded allies to further their myriad pet agendas, be they anti-Israel, pro-abortion, or, more recently, LGBT issues.  The current session of the Human Rights Council opened this month, amid rumors that a group of South American countries, at the behest of LGBT organizations, would put forward a resolution to create a new independent expert or special rapporteur position for the promotion of sexual orientation and gender identity issues.

What are military UN trucks doing in Virginia? 'Bemused motorists spot white 'combat vehicles' on the interstate.  Military U.N. vehicles have been spotted in Virginia, shocking motorists and sparking conspiracy theories.  The white trucks, equipped with large off-road tires, were seen being transported on Interstate 81 on Friday [6/24/2016].  They appear to be Alpine Armoring's Pit-Bull VX SWAT Truck models.  Jeff Stern posted photos of the vehicles on Facebook, writing:  'Can't begin to tell you how many of these I passed today on 81 near Lexington VA.  Interesting times ahead!'

Eyewitness: UN Troops In Texas: "30 UN Vehicles Fully Loaded With Combat Prepared Troops".  An eyewitness Facebook post warning is going viral that shares one Vietnam Veterans recent experience down in Dallas, Texas.  The warning, reposted by American Gun Rights-Texas who are requesting confirmation of this post, warns of 30 United Nations vehicles, fully loaded with combat prepared troops, driving down I-30 towards Garland, Texas.  Are these UN troops here preparing for economic collapse in America?  Is this related to Iran ships approaching the US border?

UN military vehicles seen rolling down Virginia interstate.  What were United Nations vehicles doing in Virginia on Friday [6/24/2016]?  That's what motorists were left to wonder when they saw UN tactical vehicles — with bulletproof glass — on a flatbed truck and rolling down Interstate 81.  Jeff Stern posted several photos of Facebook and added the description, "Can't begin to tell you how many of these I passed today on 81 near Lexington, VA. Interesting times ahead!"

UN Tank Vehicles Spotted Moving Across U.S.: "Peace Keepers and Potential for Civil Unrest".  Is the occupation of America imminent?  While few could say what is coming, there have been some curious sightings that hold ominous tones, as military vehicles and equipment for foreign forces have been sighted on U.S. highways.

U.N. Human Rights Chief Says U.S. Needs 'Robust Gun Regulation'.  The United Nations' human rights chief called on the United States Tuesday [6/14/2016] to enforce more effective gun control measures in the aftermath of the Orlando terrorist attack, dismissing as "irresponsible pro-gun propaganda" the notion that firearms make societies safer.  U.N. human rights commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein urged the U.S. government to live up to its obligations to protect citizens from the "horrifyingly commonplace but preventable violent attacks that are the direct result of insufficient gun control."

Inevitable: UN "peacekeepers" accused of mass murder.  For more than a decade, UN peacekeeping forces have faced an avalanche of allegations of sexual exploitation of women and children in areas under their care, only to face no consequences for their crimes.  That problem appears to be growing worse as the years roll on, while the member states of the UN wring their hands in public but do little to stop it.  Now it appears that the blue helmets have graduated from sex trafficking to murder in the Central African Republic.

UN refugee agency handed over hundreds of millions to partners without monitoring, report says.  Over the last two years, as the global refugee crisis spiraled out of control, the United Nations' refugee organization has handed over nearly a billion dollars to private organizations and national governments, much of it without verifying whether those partners had the expertise to buy the goods, or the means to detect fraud in the purchases, according to a report by a U.N. watchdog.  More than $400 million of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees money was handed over to partners last year — within twelve months after the organization had put in place a mandatory policy intended to streamline partnership arrangements and bring partner policies in line with UNHCR's own procedures.

Candidate for UN health chief eyes global tax to help WHO.  A French diplomat competing to be the world's top health official says a tiny international tax can help fill the World Health Organization's coffers, a proposal aimed at bringing order to the U.N. agency's fragmented budget.

Forget NATO. Trump Should Defund the UN.  The courage to go after sacred cows is one of Donald Trump's more appealing, if controversial, traits.  He raised the issue of NATO, contending the USA pays far too much of the freight in the mutual defense pact. [...] But I have another, somewhat similar, suggestion for Donald about which I have no ambivalence.  It's time for the U.S. seriously to curtail, if not end, its mammoth annual contribution to the United Nations that dwarfs those made by all the other 192 member-states[.]

The UN wants global response to (i.e., funding for) everything.
UN urges global response to refugee crisis.  The UN high commissioner for refugees says the migrants crisis is now a global phenomenon and that simply turning them away "won't work".  Filippo Grandi told the BBC that more nations had to help the "few countries" shouldering the burden, by increasing both funding and resettlement.  He said that, last year, fewer than 1% of 20 million refugees had been resettled in another nation.  More are fleeing conflict and hardship than at any other time in history.

U.S. has 'overpaid' $1.2 billion for U.N. peacekeeping troops.  Despite a Clinton-era law capping U.S. subsidies to the United Nations peacekeeping force, President Obama and a willing Congress have spent over $1.2 billion more than allowed, handing Republican Donald Trump a new issue to hit Hillary Rodham Clinton with.  A spending analysis from the Heritage Foundation's U.N. specialist showed that from 2010-15, the difference between the cap and the money sent to U.N. peacekeepers is approximately $1.26 billion.

Moral Turpitude in Turtle Bay.  Last month, the United Nations condemned only one country in the world for violating women's rights.  Singling out Israel with specious accusations of harming Palestinian women is a popular annual ritual in Turtle Bay — scapegoating democratic Israel while willfully ignoring the many states with actual, well-known egregious policies toward women.  Just because the UN repeats this accusation every year does not make it true.  The hypocrisy and institutional bias are mind-boggling.

Oops! Federal Law Prohibits Obama Funding UN Climate Bureaucracy.  Thanks to a Clinton-era statute and an obscure vote last month by the United Nations, federal law now officially makes it illegal for the Obama administration to send a single penny of your money to the UN climate bureaucracy.  That is good news for U.S. taxpayers, of course.  But it puts the UN and the Obama administration in an awkward position as they struggle desperately to convince other governments that the UN's much-touted "global-warming" regime, officially signed Friday, is not going to crumble in the face of a hostile Congress and a U.S. Constitution that has been trampled at every turn.  Now, dozens of U.S. senators, who Obama and the UN hoped to bypass in imposing the global "climate" treaty in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, are putting the UN and Obama on notice.

Frustration growing as UN agency keeps scandal report under wraps.  A tug-of-war is being waged at the World Intellectual Property Organization to decide if 188 member nations will ever get to read a United Nations report on alleged wrongdoing by Francis Gurry, the agency's autocratic director general, who has been accused among other things of ordering illegal break-ins of the offices of his own staffers.  So far the answer is no, even though the official report by the U.N.'s Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), into possible illegal behavior by Gurry, has been in the hands of one WIPO dignitary for weeks.  Gurry has denied the charges, calling them "without foundation."

What is Obama waiting for?  At 54 and soon to be unemployed (though with a nice pension and a feast of travel perks), Barack Obama may well believe that there's still something in the political world ahead for him. [...] There's been a small buzz about the United Nations, with a search under way for a new secretary-general, and deputies to the Great Mentioner, who usually confines himself to presidential possibilities, have mentioned Mr. Obama.

UNESCO changes history, denies existence of Jerusalem Temple.  Fraught with "deniers" of every stripe, the latest and most egregious is UNre-E-unSCO (as in re-education, unscientific), whose UN resolution wipes away the focal point of ancient Jewish worship, the Temple of God, that graced Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem for 1000 years.  Ludicrous as it seems, a body of 58 board members, evidently unschooled in ancient history, decided to clean the slate of time by rejecting the existence of a building proclaimed a wonder of the ancient world because of its extraordinary opulence.  Has UNESCO consulted the Encyclopedia Britannica about removing references to the Temple of Jerusalem?  Doubtful.  It will take more than a gang of international political hacks simply renaming the Temple Mount with latecomer muslim nomenclature to rewrite history.

Putin ally in UNESCO crony row is favourite to take top job at United Nations when Ban Ki-moon steps down.  A former communist backed by Vladimir Putin has become the frontrunner to take over the United Nations as its first ever woman chief.  Irina Bokova, a Bulgarian who was educated in Moscow and is said to be a 'darling' of Mr Putin, hopes to succeed Ban Ki-moon when he steps down at the end of this year.  However the Daily Mail has obtained secret documents reflecting grave concern about her capacity to handle such an important job.

PA hopes Obama won't veto 'anti-settlement' resolution.  The Palestinian Authority (PA) is hoping that the United States will not veto its UN resolution condemning Israeli "settlements" with President Barack Obama in his last months in office.  Speaking to The Associated Press on Sunday [4/10/2016], PA Foreign Minister Riad Malki said the hope is that Obama, freed of re-election concerns, will break with American protocol and refrain from vetoing the resolution.

Exclusive: The UN starts toward new control over the world's oceans.  The United Nations has launched a far-reaching initiative that could give U.N.-sponsored authorities sway over the biological resources of the high seas — all the waters that lie outside national territories and economic zones.  The potential shift in power involves multi-trillion-dollar issues, such as whether large areas — conceivably, as much as 30 percent — of the world's international waters should be designated as no-go areas to protect biological diversity; whether and how to require elaborate "environmental impact assessments" for future ocean development projects; and how to divide up the economic benefits from the future development of "marine genetic resources."

Exposed: UN implicitly honors murderers of Israelis.  A Palestinian NGO funded by UN bodies and foreign governments held a tree planting ceremony last Friday [4/1/2016] for "Land Day," in which it honored 209 "martyrs of the intifada" in a mass celebration of the recent terror wave.  The event held by the NGO, Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), was exposed by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) on Monday.  PMW noted that among the "martyrs" were numerous terrorists who murdered or tried to murder Israelis since last September, in a terror surge that has left 34 dead and over 400 wounded.  PMW further revealed that UAWC is funded by UNRWA and UNDP, both UN bodies, as well as the governments of Australia, Spain, Netherlands and Japan in addition to numerous European NGOs, as recorded in UAWC's website.

UN sex-abuse scandal: officials scramble amid claims of many more sordid incidents.  The ugly record of alleged rape and sexual abuse by international peacekeepers in the battered Central African Republic, one of the worst scandals to stain the United Nations in years, is growing much worse — despite more U.N.  assertions that it is moving aggressively to deal with the seemingly endless crisis.  According to one of the U.N.'s most persistent and best-informed critics over the sex-abuse issue, nearly 100 new allegations of Central African Republic sexual wrongdoing — one an alleged rape that took place last Monday — have been aired before U.N.  investigators in the past two weeks.

98 Central African Rep. girls report shocking abuse by UN peacekeepers.  An advocacy group has released horrifying details of how at least 98 Central African Republic (CAR) girls were allegedly sexually abused by international peacekeepers.  The report was released by AIDS-Free World, an international advocacy organization, on Wednesday.  The group said that MINUSCA, the UN's peacekeeping mission in CAR, met with local leaders and victims "who reported that troops from France and Gabon have sexually abused several girls in their province."

UN names democratic Israel as world's top human rights violator.  According to the United Nations, the most evil country in the world today is Israel.  On March 24, 2016, the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) wrapped up its annual meeting in New York by condemning only one country for violating women's rights anywhere on the planet — Israel, for violating the rights of Palestinian women.  On the same day, the U.N. Human Rights Council concluded its month-long session in Geneva by condemning Israel five times more than any other of the 192 UN member states.

Ten Commandments for Our Next Commander-in-Chief.  [#9] Speak nicely of, but never rely on, the leadership of the United Nations.  Its resolutions were of no value in Libya.  It did nothing to stop genocide in Syria.  It is run by a majority vote of its members — and the majority of the members of the General Assembly are crudely non-democratic, and many of them are themselves targets of the U.N.'s sanctions.  If multilateral action becomes necessary, only the United States can assemble and lead the necessary coalition.

'Unprecedented' UN global data gathering to add huge amounts of information for governments to collect.  Six months after giving birth to a cluster of nebulous Sustainable Development Goals that aim to dramatically change the economic, social and environmental course of the planet, the United Nations is working on a drastic renovation of global data gathering to measure progress against its sweeping international agenda.  The result that emerged late last week from the U.N. Statistical Commission — an obscure body of national experts that calls itself the "apex entity of the international statistics system" — is a document as sprawling, undefined and ambitious as the sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, themselves — which lay out 17 goals and 169 sometimes overlapping targets to transform global society.

House Hearing Will Probe U.N. Agency's Illicit Tech Transfers to Iran, North Korea.  U.S. lawmakers will hear testimony Wednesday [2/24/2016] on claims that the sitting head of a U.N. agency covertly transferred U.S.-origin computer equipment to Iran and North Korea.  In a crackdown on whistleblowers, he allegedly ordered the clandestine collection of staffers' DNA in a bid to track down the author of anonymous letters of complaint.  The explosive allegations against the head of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Francis Gurry, are also the subject of an internal U.N. oversight investigation, whose findings are expected to be released shortly.

Mugabe First To U.N. Trough In Global Warming Shakedown.  Zimbabwe tyrant Robert Mugabe is asking the United Nations for $1.5 billion a year to feed his people, who he says are hungry due to global warming.  The looting begins.  About a year ago, we said that the global warming scare is not about stewardship of the environment.  It is instead an effort to pull down capitalism and redistribute wealth from rich nations that earned it to poorer nations whose governments impoverish their own people.  Mugabe fully understands the plan and is making his demands accordingly.

DHS Chief: Obama Administration Working With UN to Make it Easier For Central Americans to Gain Refugee Status in the U.S..  Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Jeh Johnson said last week that the Obama administration is trying to make it easier for "individuals" from Central America to gain refugee status in the United States in response to the ongoing surge of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and families entering the country illegally in recent years.  "We are preparing to offer vulnerable individuals fleeing the violence in Central America a safe and legal alternate path to a better life," Johnson said in his State of Homeland Security speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., on Thursday [2/11/2016].

The UN's 'violent extremism' scam: What to say when 'radical Islamic terror' is too scary.  There is a dangerous scam gaining traction at the United Nations, backstopped by the White House.  It's called "violent extremism."  Given the U.N.'s long and undistinguished history of being unable to define terrorism, and an American president who chokes on the words "radical Islamic terrorism," pledges to combat "violent extremism" have become all the rage.  It turns out that the terminological fast one is a lethal diplomatic dance that needs to be deconstructed, and quickly.

UN group recommends 'reparatory justice' for African Americans.  A United Nations working group visiting the United States walks away "extremely concerned about the human rights situation of African Americans," members said in a preliminary report released Friday [1/29/2016], in which they urged the US government to address the legacy of slavery with "reparatory justice," a national human rights commission, and ongoing criminal justice reform.

UN sex abuse scandal: new allegations and more to come.  The United Nations has suddenly released a new spate of revelations about rape and sexual abuse carried out by peacekeepers — both U.N. forces and others — in the Central African Republic, involving at least a dozen children aged from 7 to 16.  There are more to come, certainly involving U.N. forces.  Fox News reported Wednesday [1/27/2016] that the U.N.'s Department of Peacekeeping Operations has informed countries that supply troops and police of 24 separate allegations of sexual exploitation and/or abuse since July 1 alone, bringing the tally for last year to 34.

Netanyahu blasts UN's Ban: Your remarks are a tailwind for terror.  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Tuesday [1/26/2016] for his remarks on the Israeli-Palestinian Israeli conflict.  Earlier in the day, Ban condemned the current wave of Palestinian terror against Israel, but added that "it is human nature to react to occupation, which often serves as a potent incubator of hate and extremism."  "The secretary-general's remarks provide a tailwind for terror.  There is no justification for terror.  Those Palestinians who murder do not want to build a state, they want to destroy a state and they say this openly," Netanyahu said.

Venezuela Loses Voting Rights in United Nations as Dues Go Unpaid.  The United Nations General Assembly has identified Venezuela among nine countries that are not allowed to vote in the current 70th Session because of arrears in paying their dues.  U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon last week informed the General Assembly that 15 countries are in arrears in paying their annual contribution to the UN regular budget, "which means they can't vote in the 193-member world body unless there are exceptional circumstances."

UN proposes tax on Football tickets.  A UN study of new sources of financing for its multi-billion-dollar aid operations is recommending a voluntary tax on football matches or concerts as one option to raise funds.  The report released Sunday in Dubai also recommended tapping into Islamic social finance and mandatory alms-giving, or zakat, as well as improving the transparency of relief operations to cut costs.

US Turns to UN to Screen Refugees From Central America.  The Obama administration is planning to expand a program to let would-be migrants from Central America apply for refugee status before they attempt to come to the U.S., Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday [1/13/2016].  The office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees will now conduct initial screenings to see whether migrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala may qualify as refugees eligible to come to the United States legally.

Keywords:  Abdication, incompetence, one world government, open borders
Should the UN be Picking the Next Americans?  The Obama administration has outsourced to the United Nations the selection of Central Americans who will be reclassified as refugees to this country.  How many more ways can we lose control of our border?

Obama Could Become President of the Whole World.  Word has it is that Obama wants to be Secretary-General of the United Nations.  Ban Ki-Moon's term concludes at the end of 2016 and it just so happens that Obama is available.  (It would be interesting if Obama resigned on New Year's Day 2017 and let Joe Biden become President for the final 20 days of his term.)  For a citizen of the globe like Obama being President of the United States is an office too small for his lifestyle, ambitions, and ideology.  Should Obama become UN Secretary-General, he could become President of the Whole World.

The Editor says...
If Vice-President Biden knows Obama will resign and Biden will then become President, that explains why Biden has put no effort into running for the Democratic Party nomination.  Even if he's the President for only three weeks, his name goes into the history books along with all the other Presidents.  And he also gains a lot of perks, book deals, and highly-overpaid speeches.

Report: Obama Wants to Become UN Secretary General, Netanyahu Doing Everything He Can to Stop Him.  It seems President Obama has no intention of stepping out of the White House and fading from the limelight.  No, he's got his sights set on the world stage — this time as secretary general of the United Nations, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.  But not all world leaders are keen to see this come to fruition, including first and foremost, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

US quietly maneuvers to cut UN dues.  In broad terms, the bottom line will remain the same: the U.S. will continue to pay billions more than everyone else.  Last year, the U.S. handed over $3 billion toward the U.N.'s so-called "regular" Secretariat budget and its peacekeeping forces, though the full amount of U.S. contributions to the U.N. system — the Obama administration does not divulge them — was much more.  The last official tally of overall U.S. contributions, in 2010, was about $7.6 billion, and that was widely considered a low-ball figure.

Independent panel blasts U.N. for inaction and cover-up in sex abuse cases.  The United Nations is guilty of patterns of indifference, inaction, buck-passing and deliberate cover-up in its investigation of sex crimes against young children by non-U.N. peacekeepers in the Central African Republic (CAR), according to an independent panel of jurists and human rights experts.  The long-awaited, 143-page report of the three-member panel, appointed by the U.N. and chaired by former Canadian Supreme Court Justice Marie Deschamps, cited repeated examples of U.N. inaction, go-slow investigation, suppression of information and bureaucratic roadblocks erected against investigations by French authorities trying to probe the abuse.

Ginning up war on prosperity, liberty.  Yes, nothing says concern for the planet quite like the world's potentates jetting to Paris at Christmastime with the notion of carving up the riches of developed nations whose successes are based in the rule of law and individual property rights.  As India environment minister Prakash Javadekar remarked, scoffing at the U.S. pledge of a $100 billion annual fund to salve the shift to green energy among emerging economies, "The cost of action ... is trillions; $100 billion is just a reparation."  So, yeah, science.  What I do know is the last time anyone in the majoritarian side recommended prosecuting anyone with a contrary opinion — as climate scientists and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse have urged — Galileo was fiddling with his telescope.

Planned UN 'hub' in Washington aims to influence US counterterrorism strategy.  The chief United Nations human rights agency, with the Obama administration's apparent blessing, is creating a new "regional hub" for itself in Washington, to use as a center for organizing against the death penalty, among other things, and for affecting the legal frameworks, policies, and strategies of American counterterrorism.  In a management plan covering its activities through 2017, the agency, known as the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, or OHCHR, puts the U.S. in the same category for that counterterrorism "alignment" effort as countries like Iraq and Uganda.

UN planning an 'international tribunal of climate justice' which would allow nations to take developed countries to court.  The United Nations may launch an International Tribunal of Climate Justice which could see states who fail to uphold the international deal to tackle climate change brought before a court.  The International Tribunal of Climate Justice has been suggested as one of three options to ensure that all parties follow what is agreed during the Paris summit next month.

High Time to Put the World Body Out of Its Misery.  Seventy years ago today, the UN Charter came into force, thus inaugurating the latest attempt to create a one-world government.  Previously, the world tried to achieve that goal by creating the League of Nations — a weak, ineffective body that failed miserably in its charter to keep the peace.  Actually, when you think about it, that perfectly describes the UN.  But the League actually thought that a blizzard of paper could stand against totalitarians hell bent on world domination so they signed treaty after treaty, inked convention after convention, to try and stop the armies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo from running wild all over the planet.  Needless to say, it didn't work.

The Utopia From Hell.  There's been a lot of chatter lately about the United Nation's "Global Goals," which has been termed the elites' blueprint for a "united world."  It seems on Sept. 25, the United Nations launched a set of 17 ambitious goals it plans to achieve over the next 15 years.  Just 15 years, mind you.  "The formal name of this new plan is 'the 2030 Agenda,'" notes ZeroHedge, "but those behind it decided that they needed something catchier when promoting these ideas to the general population.  The U.N. has stated that these new 'global goals' represent a 'new universal agenda' for humanity.  Virtually every nation on the planet has willingly signed on to this new agenda, and you are expected to participate whether you like it or not."

What to do about UN bribery scandal.  Corruption at the United Nations — evidenced by the arrest this week of John Ashe, former president of the U.N. General Assembly, on bribe-taking charges — shouldn't surprise anyone.  The fact that the U.N. has largely walked away from the tools needed to do anything about it is the real scandal.  I had been at the U.N. for only a couple of weeks in 2005 when the chairman of the U.N. budget committee, a senior Russian diplomat, was arrested for taking bribes.  For me, it was a shocking introduction to the institution.  I would soon know better.

Top United Nations Official Is Accused in Bribery Scheme.  The former president of the United Nations General Assembly, John W. Ashe, a diplomat from Antigua, was one of six people identified in a criminal complaint outlining a bribery scheme that involved more than $1 million in payments from sources in China for assistance in real estate deals and other business interests.  The case is highly embarrassing to the United Nations, which has vowed to act with greater transparency and accountability after past scandals.

Obama and the UN 2030 Agenda: An Almost Unbelievably Criminal Plan for One World Government.  "Sustainable" is U.N.-speak for "controlled."  And that means controlled by governments at the expense of liberty and freedom around the world.  The planet is in peril, don't you know, and humanity is the plague infecting it.  The U.N., with U.S. compliance, is hammering out an agenda that will determine not only how many people there will be, but where they will live, how they will live, and what governments will permit them to do in order to save the planet.  If this sounds familiar, it should, for it is the follow-on for the failed Agenda 21 which was rolled out in 1992 at the U.N. Earth Summit in Rio De Janiero, Brazil.  Agenda 21 failed in its attempt to eradict poverty and save the earth, but it did serve as a justification for world governments to enhance their power at the expense of the liberty and freedom of their people.  Agenda 2030 is no less ambitious in its goal for global government control, according to the preamble of the document outlining the agenda: [...]

Blue Helmets to Supplant America's Blue Line.  Marxism always moves in to fill the vacuum left behind by anarchy.  Like all things named by the UN, the 'Strong Cities Network' (SCN) sounds benign and good for society, a society distracted from what is really going on by their own self-serving governments.  The Strong Cities Network is being launched in a day when millions of illegal aliens are flooding American borders while the Obama administration looks the other way.  SCN makes its debut at a time when the public at large is forbidden to identify Islamic terrorists as Islamic terrorists; when citizens who dare to stand up for individual rights are automatically branded as dissenters who must be cowed into silence. [...] With no public input, no Congress debate or vote, it will be blue helmets and not local cops who will be policing the streets of America, in an initiative underway before its launch date.

Obama Administration and UN Announce Global Police Force to Fight 'Extremism' In U.S..  On Wednesday [9/30/2015], Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced at the United Nations that her office would be working in several American cities to form what she called the Strong Cities Network (SCN), a law enforcement initiative that would encompass the globe.  This amounts to nothing less than the overriding of American laws, up to and including the United States Constitution, in favor of United Nations laws that would henceforth be implemented in the United States itself — without any consultation of Congress at all.

Racist Tyrants, Polygamist Islamists, Despots of Every Stripe: Why Are We Funding the U.N.?  The parade of dictators and despots taking the U.N. stage on Monday [9/28/2015], as the organization marks its 70th anniversary, was nothing short of spectacular.  As were the lies they told without batting an eye to a friendly and respectful audience.  U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has his hand out for an additional $20 billion this year, so let's look at what American taxpayers are getting for their large chunk (one-quarter) of the U.N's bills.

UN ignores science council warnings in creating vast Sustainable Development Goals.  When the United Nations approved a massive agenda of sustainable development goals last week, it over-rode pointed warnings by two international science councils that the program is in many ways uncoordinated, unmeasurable and unrealistically ambitious.  Managers of the vast exercise in setting the global, progressive agenda for the next 15 years known as the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) decided it would be "too dangerous" to reopen the sprawling package to improve it, according to Anne-Sophie Stevance, lead coordinator of the critical analysis and a science officer with the International Council for Science (ICSU), the most prominent voice of the international scientific community.

UN's 70th general assembly: the greatest political show on earth.  In geopolitics, this is the greatest show on earth. For the best part of a week, the world's leaders — more than 150 of them — will mingle, bargain and argue over the state of the world at the UN general assembly in New York.  For much of the proceedings, "show" is the operative word.  When the presidents and prime ministers mount the green marble podium, there will be a strong element of theatre.  They will be playing to different galleries, declaiming their positions to their peers in the chamber, but also to domestic audiences.

UN summit to approve 15-year blueprint to eradicate poverty.  With the bang of a gavel, international leaders approved an ambitious 15-year plan Friday [9/25/2015] to tackle the world's biggest problems, from eradicating poverty to preserving the planet to reducing inequality.

UN Set to Launch 'New Universal Agenda' for Global Governance.  The United Nations is set to launch its "new universal agenda" for humanity and the planet September 25, 2015.  The UN's "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" document is a blueprint to "transform our world for the better by 2030," and yet most major media outlets in the United States refuse to report on the far reaching implications of this document.

UN Bribes Writers: Make Up A Climate Change Story; Win A Free Trip To Paris.  The United Nations and Oxfam are offering a prize to young writers who can come up with the best story raising "awareness of the harmful impacts of climate change on communities."

The Terrifying Tentacles of One World Governance.  Citizens do not understand U.N. Agenda 21's damaging ramifications to their private property, to their ability to make a living, to use their land, grow food in their gardens, sell their fresh produce freely, engage in agriculture, sell their land, and pass it on to future generations.  Local land owners do not have the opportunity to provide their input into the decision-making process; they are at the mercy of "visioning committees" and the board of supervisors, often plants or paid subscribers to the one world government idea.

Agenda 21 soon to become "the 2030 Agenda".  In 1992 "Agenda 21" was made public by the United Nations at a UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio De Janeiro and signed by 178 countries.  It had been modified many times since then.  "Agenda 21" is transforming into a new set of laws being pushed through the United Nations.  More oppressive and couched in language that hides [its] true meaning, it is based on the UN's Sustainability Goals as part of a sustainable development goals that will complete the submission of sovereign countries to the UN mandates.  The new laws called "Agenda 2030" is being finalized at the Sustainable Development Summit" to be held in New York City from September 25th through the 27th.  Where Agenda 21 focused primarily on the environment, the 2030 Agenda is the foundation for governing the entire planet.  It not only encompasses climate change, but the areas of economics, health, energy, education, agriculture, gender equality and social justice.  It is being hailed by the UN as a new universal Agenda for all of humanity.

UN Report Suggests Israel Caused Gaza's Rising Infant Death Rate, Doesn't Mention Hamas.  File this one under "UN Sleaze," or perhaps under "UNRWA's Use of Dead Infants to Defend and Abet Terrorists."  Though even that may be putting it too mildly.  In the run-up to next month's annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the latest Israel-trashing report from the propaganda mills of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has been released.  This one's a doozy, summed up by an UNRWA press release dated August 8 with the headline:  "Infant Mortality Rate Rises in Gaza for the First Time in Fifty Years."

UN Body Grants Formal Recognition to Hamas-Linked Group.  A key United Nations body on Monday granted official status to a non-governmental organization with alleged links to Hamas, rejecting a bid by Israel, supported by the U.S. and others, to deny it the recognition it sought.  As a result of Monday's [7/20/2015] vote by the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) will now be able to participate in sessions of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, as well as several other U.N. organs.  "Another defeat for Israel," the PRC tweeted after the vote. "Palestine has won again," read another of its tweets.

Our Rulers In The United Nations Now Make America's Treaties.  Few constitutional scholars thought it possible for a president to give away unilaterally American representative government to an international body.  The United Nations' Iran vote just did.

Obama's U.N. plan backfires on Congress.  President Obama's attempt to outmaneuver Congress and win quick United Nations approval for the Iran nuclear agreement is backfiring on him in Congress, and could further erode support among key players.  Key senators were already outraged that the administration was taking the lead in negotiating a deal and sidelining Congress' traditional role of being directly involved in haggling the finer points of arms control agreements.  They were resigned to let the administration handle the negotiations in return for the promise that they would have ample opportunity to review the deal and vote on it.  But Kerry this week moved to exert the maximum global leverage on Congress by circulating a legally binding draft of the deal to the United Nations Security Council.

UN report denies Israel's right of self-defense, advocates arrest of Israelis instead.  Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and any other "suspected" Israeli war criminals wherever and whenever you can get your hands on them.  That is the shocking bottom line of a scandalous report released today [6/23/2015] from the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Sen. Ted Cruz Warns U.N. about Adding Israel to the List of Terrorist Nations.  Among the current crop of Republican presidential candidates, there is no more staunch defender of Israel than Sen. Ted Cruz.  And, of course, with the possible exception of Rand Paul, all of the GOP candidates reject Barack Obama and the Democrat Party's deep, open hatred of Israel.  This week Cruz directed a formal letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, slamming the corrupt organization for its threat to add the State of Israel to the the U.N.'s list of "parties to conflict who commit grave violations against children".

World has no choice but to decarbonize: U.N. climate chief.  Responding to climate change in the next 15 years is the world's "mega development project", given the need to invest trillions of dollars in infrastructure, creating jobs and economic stability, the United Nations' top climate change official said on Tuesday [5/26/2015].

The Editor says...
Exactly the opposite is true:  Every dollar spent on "saving the earth" from global warming is a dollar down the drain.  The ultimate goal of the United Nations is a socialist world government:  world-wide control and domination.  The global warming hoax is just the leverage needed to implement such a government, and socialists like Barack H. Obama are willing to turn over American sovereignty without a fight.

Texas Messes with Agenda 21.  Texas is larger than most countries in the United Nations, some not much bigger than the postage stamps they print for collectors, but each with a vote that can cancel ours out.  Texas is about to a vote against the U.N.'s sovereignty-destroying Agenda 21, so named because it claims to be setting a "sustainable growth" agenda for the 21st century.  Agenda 21 is in fact a global power grab similar to climate-change treaties like the Kyoto Protocol.  It uses the imaginary threat of unsustainable growth which allegedly threatens to plunder the planet's finite resources, like climate change allegedly threatens planetary doom, to impose a liberal wish list of restraints on our freedoms to decide how we live our lives in our pursuit of one of those inalienable rights liberals fear — the pursuit of happiness.

United Nations to Sit in Judgment of U.S. Human Rights Record.  From police shootings of African-Americans to the failure to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, the United States' human rights record will be in the spotlight at the U.N. Human Rights Council on Monday [5/11/2015].  A 26-strong multi-agency U.S. delegation will field questions from other members of the Geneva-based council, including communist Cuba, which has submitted queries covering torture, labor rights and poverty.

Scared Green: Sustainability Lies We Teach Our Children.  "Without Pharrell, our planet would not survive."  So says Marquis Jamont, one of 1,200 middle school children who, according to CBS News, trudged through the snow on the first day of spring to see musician Pharrell Williams talk about climate change at the UN.  The event kicked off the meeting of the UN's Open Working Group on new Sustainable Development Goals.  No disrespect to Mr. Williams, but the planet could survive without him and his "Happy" song.  Likewise, the world could sustain itself without the goals being cooked up by transnational envirocrats in their endless rounds of meetings.

Why Wisconsin protesters want UN to investigate police shooting.  A group of protesters called Monday [4/6/2015] for the United Nations to conduct an independent investigation of a white Wisconsin police officer who killed an unarmed biracial man because they feel the US government can't be trusted.

Obama's UN Ambitions.  Why does Obama do dangerous and irrational things?  By now half of American voters have pretty much figured him out as a power-hungry and self-serving Chicago pol with strange Muslim sympathies, [without regard for] the U.S. Constitution and the law. [...] Obama's eyes have always been on the biggest prize in the world, the virtual Presidency of the Planet.  He has been signaling (the way he always does) to the fantasists of the Left, the people who think world government is the answer.  That's the point of the global warming scam and similar power grabs.  It is also why Obama pretends that the UN can guarantee the Iranian nuclear surrender, rather than the U.S. Senate, as required by the Constitution.

UN says Israel, not Iran, North Korea or Syria worst violator of human rights.  What country deserves more condemnation for violating human rights than any other nation on earth?  According to the U.N.'s top human rights body, that would be Israel.  Last week, Israel was the U.N.'s number one women's rights violator. This week it is the U.N.'s all-round human rights villain.  The U.N. Human Rights Council wrapped up its latest session in Geneva on Friday, March 27 by adopting four resolutions condemning Israel.  That's four times more than any of the other 192 UN member states.

UN Selects Nations That Abuse Women: One Country Made the List.  Who knew that the War on Women has now been isolated to one nation!  And if you think it's a Muslim nation, where women are stoned for just about any reason, or where women get acid thrown in their faces for not covering themselves enough, then you simply haven't evolved!  No, the one nation where women are still under fire is Israel, at least according to the United Nations.

Obama using the U.N. to enter a "binding" Iran nuclear agreement without Congress.  The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday [3/14/2015] that Secretary of State John Kerry is still upset about the open letter Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote last week that was signed by 46 other Republican senators arguing that it was Congress' role to review treaties. [...] It strikes me as odd that Kerry is doubling down on his non-binding argument.  An executive agreement is not binding, unlike a treaty, and therefore not subject to Congressional review.  It's also odd that he claims, "as far as we are concerned."  Shouldn't the Constitution be the standard by which the Republican claims are judged?

As Race For UN Chief Begins, New Campaigns Demand a Woman.  A European ambassador reminded colleagues of a General Assembly resolution nearly as old as the 70-year organization itself, a guiding document for a selection process for U.N. chief that has remained secretive and almost completely male.  The January 1946 resolution says a "man of eminence and high attainment" should hold the post.

The coming climate court.  [Scroll down]  This text agreed to for negotiation by the federal government includes a remarkable proposal.  Buried deep inside, it proposes an "International Climate Justice Tribunal in order to oversee, control and sanction the fulfilment [sic] of and compliance with the obligations of Annex I and Annex II Parties under this agreement and the [1992 UNFCCC climate treaty]."  Translated, this means that even if the Obama administration refuses to call the Paris agreement a treaty, as it already telegraphed its position:  A new climate court would hold us to its terms — even the terms of a prior, "voluntary" agreement.

To become UN Sec General Obama must 'Solve' the Existence of Israel.  President Obama is basically a Marxist of the "Third World" variety, which means that he lives in the faith that some elite political minority can rule first the United States and Europe, and then the world.  In Washington speculation is rife that the end of the Obama years is only the beginning of a run for UN Secretary General, a job he can fiddle into real power, using leftist and Muslim regimes from around the world to support him.  Obama's ambition runs his mind and his life.  He can't face the end of power.

The anti-capitalist tyrants at the UN want to reverse the industrial revolution.
UN Climate Chief: We Are Remaking The World Economy.  The United Nation's climate chief says that reordering the global economy to fight climate change is the "most difficult" task the international body has ever undertaken.  "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history," Christiana Figueres, who heads up the U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, told reporters.

UNICEF tech chief quits after Fox News inquiry.  The newly appointed chief information officer of UNICEF has abruptly resigned from the job he officially took up at the beginning of January.  His departure came days after Fox News raised questions about the selection process that had gotten him the post.  The UNICEF CIO, Paul van Essche resigned "for personal reasons," a spokesman for the United Nations Children's Fund told Fox News.  "We wish him well in his future career."

Uh-Oh: Kofi Annan to the Rescue.  Right on cue, here he is, telling the BBC that politicians have to find a way to "reach out" to Boko Haram.  Let's be clear.  Boko Haram is not a group of sensitive souls desperate to surrender to politicians or international bureaucrats who come bearing gifts and professing an interest in their grievances.  These are terrorists who have been doing quite well for themselves with guns, bombs, abduction, invasion and slaughter.  A few days ago they strapped a bomb vest to a girl who may have been as young as 10, and sent her as a suicide bomber into a busy market, to die in an explosion that killed some 20 others.  Like ISIS, they are carving out turf for themselves in ways that suggest ambitions unlikely to be addressed by diplomatic group therapy.  Reaching out is not cost free.

Fight looms over $3 billion Obama administration payment to UN-linked climate [slush] fund.  The Obama administration can expect a knock-down battle with the next Congress over its announced $3 billion contribution to the United Nations-affiliated Green Climate Fund, a centerpiece of talks over a new treaty on greenhouse gas emissions held in Lima, Peru, last week.  "If they think they are going to get all that money for the fund, they're mistaken," a senior aide to Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., told Fox News.  "You're going to see us being more aggressive about not sending more money to the U.N. and elsewhere for climate change."

Syrian al-Qaeda using UN cars to conduct terror operations.  Syrian opposition sources say al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels, known as the Al-Nusra Front, have taken over areas along the Israeli-Syrian border and have recently been spotted using UN cars to conduct terror operations.

UN panel singles out Chicago Police in US torture condemnation.  Police brutality, military interrogations and prisons were among the top concerns of a U.N. panel's report Friday that found the United States to be falling short of full compliance with an international anti-torture treaty.

The UN gave millions to Somalia. Where did it go?  The United Nations for years handed out tens of millions of dollars to non-government organizations involved in humanitarian work in strife-battered Somalia with "no assurance" that the money was used for the intended purposes," according to a report by the U.N.'s own internal auditing watchdog.  In fact, they concluded, "there was no effective financial monitoring" of the work.  According to the watchdogs, any subcontractors used by the NGOs to help carry out their work were not listed in U.N. agreements, meaning that the U.N. may lack any legal right to find out whether the money it handed over went for the proper purposes.

The U.N. and Obama: Creators of a One-World Frankenstein.  Signing away of sovereignty and independence is a surefire route to tyrannical subordination of freedom and individual liberty.  One-size-fits-all precepts imposed on all nations by an international body would ignore regional needs, interests and values.  World governance would eliminate the ability and self-determination of nations to protect their interests and act for the good and security of their people.  These functions would be abdicated to an international body without direct consent of the people.

RINOs Threatening to Subvert Maryland's Most Conservative County.  Three years ago, five newly elected commissioners in Carroll County, Maryland set precedent by taking a bold stand against Agenda 21 in this dark blue state.  They abolished the county "Office of Sustainability" and began extricating Agenda 21 planning concepts from the county master plan.  They were also the first governmental organization to revoke membership in the U.N.'s International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) — the vehicle through which Agenda 21 is injected into local planning without our knowledge or consent.  The commissioners' leadership set an example that many local governments ultimately followed.  In 2011, ICLEI boasted 600 U.S. local governments as members.  Today there are 450, a decline of 25%.  Nine states have now considered or enacted laws against Agenda 21.  Once an obscure issue, it is now widely recognized for the Trojan Horse it is.

A Rogue Venezuela On The UN Security Council Highlights A Powerless U.S..  Venezuela gleefully won a seat on the U.N. Security Council with a 52-vote surplus.  That the Chavistas won't be able to do much isn't the point.  It's that a distracted U.S. was unable to stop them.

Global Warming Not Proceeding As Planned.  If you haven't noticed, the United Nations is having its annual meeting of the minds in New York.  Heads of state and other prominent characters from around the world are gathering to discuss the issues that are supposed to concern us all.  You know, important issues such as global warming, radical Islam, climate change, and more global warming.  One would think radical Islam would be at the center of the agenda, given how many people it is killing across the Middle East, but it is taking a back seat to global warming.

Since Obama has been in the White House, the Muslims in America have been very lucky.
U.N. to dump flood of Muslim refugees on U.S..  Since the early 1990s, the United Nations high commissioner for refugees has selected 200,000 to 250,000 refugees from Islamic countries to be resettled in the United States.  Most of them have come from Somalia and Iraq.  Syria could soon be added to the mix in the midst of that country's brutal civil war.  The Obama administration has been greasing the skids for the Syrian refugees for months, WND has learned, and the refugees will soon be dumped on American cities throughout the U.S.

UN climate change: Obama gives cash to developing nations without any strings attached.  American and European liberals see the climate change debate, as well as the U.N. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) discussion, as an altruistic response to their global public policy concerns.  United Nations officials and leaders from developing nations, however, see the climate change discussion and the fight over MDGs as their future revenue source.

U.N. calls for decriminalization of abortion in Chile.  As part of a visit to Chile assessing the country's treatment of women's rights reform, a team of U.N. experts published a report on Wednesday [9/10/2014] expressing support for the legalization of abortion under special circumstances for girls younger than 18 years of age.

Scholar to UN: You Are 'the Leading Global Purveyor of Anti-Semitism'.  A leading human rights advocate accused the United Nations and its member nations of being "the leading global purveyor of anti-Semitism" and "inciting murderous intolerance towards" Jewish people during an unprecedented speech Monday [9/8/2014] at the international body's headquarters in New York City.  Anne Bayefsky, director of the Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust (IHRH), stood before the U.N. and lambasted it for fanning the flames of global anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel, according to a copy of her remarks.  Bayefsky delivered her rebuke during an informal briefing on the threat anti-Semitism poses to international peace and security that was organized on the sidelines of the U.N. by the permanent mission of Palau.

The UN is Unworthy of Shining Israel's Shoes.  It is amazing to observe the moral presumption and ideological arrogance of the world's most absurd organization.  An organization whose "blue helmets" not only drank champagne while in Bosnia people were killing each other, but also sexually abused children around the world, from Cambodia to Kenya.An organization which asked Iran to head its department against death penalty.  An organization which allowed Saudi Arabia to lead the global fight against female discrimination.  An organization once headed by someone whose offspirng managed the world's largest corruption operation (do you remember Kofi Anan's son?) through its channels.  An organization which basically stated that genocide in Darfur is part of global warming.

The United Nations at 70: How to fix a broken organization.  [Scroll down]  Reform efforts have proven unsuccessful or even counterproductive.  By the UN's 60th anniversary, for example, the existing Human Rights Commission had become a safe haven for the world's most egregious human-rights abusers.  As with other UN bodies, members were typically elected through the consensus judgments of their respective regional groups, one of the least-known but most pernicious UN practices.  Under this back-scratching, vote-trading mentality, the Human Rights Commission routinely had Cuba, Libya, Iran and their ilk as members.  Their principal activity was producing resolutions and reports on human-rights abuses in the United States and Israel!

Photo of ISIS Driving UN Vehicle (Paid For With Your Tax Dollars).  If you're a little bit late to the party, it's true:  the United Nations actively supports terrorism.  One day, I pray, we elect a Constitutional conservative president.  And one of their first acts is to completely defund the UN, boot it out of New York City, and name John Bolton the Secretary of State.  For spite.

United Nations Censures American Law Enforcement as Racist Following Ferguson.  On August 29, a UN panel on racism urged the United States to "review" its stand your ground-styled self-defense laws and demanded it put a halt to the excessive use of force by police.  The U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) claimed that racial minorities are victims of oppression by authorities and apparently targeted by whites with the self-defense laws.

The deadly combination of Obama and the UN will indenture civil society.  With Barack Obama now firmly in place as their ex officio leader, the United Nations pooh-bahs have come up with a surefire way to stick it to the taxpayers of the world, while feathering their nests for all time.  It's called making global warming/climate change a health issue at their very next summit in November 2015.  Christiana Figueres, the top UN climate official, said upcoming negotiations on an international global warming accord should be viewed as a health issue.

UN Climate Chief: 'Not Very Far' from Considering 'Climate Change as a Public Health Emergency'.  Secretary of State John Kerry has called climate change "the biggest challenge of all that we face right now," and his French counterpart has warned of climate "chaos" in 500 days, and now the U.N. climate change chief is implying that climate change can be viewed on a par with the deadly Ebola outbreak.  Christiana Figueres told a World Health Organization (WHO)-hosted event in Geneva Wednesday that "we are not very far" from the point where climate change should be declared an international public health emergency, according to her prepared remarks.

The UN's crimes against humanity.  Instead of being an important direct player that can act against Hamas and its murderous ideology, the UN has become one of its biggest supporters.

Congress must defund the worst of the United Nations' institutions.  Although far from central to the ongoing Hamas-Israel hostilities, the United Nations has nonetheless inflicted substantial damage to its own reputation and credibility.  So outrageously have several U.N. institutions behaved, before and during the current Gaza crisis, that the United States can no longer ignore or excuse it.  Congress must act to defund U.N. bodies that perform unacceptably — thereby denying them the resources and the legitimacy of American support and putting other U.N. agencies on notice they could face a similar fate.

The U.N. Handmaiden of Hamas.  During the clashes of recent weeks as Israel sought to stop rocket attacks by Hamas and to destroy the organization's terror tunnels, UNRWA has loomed large on the public stage — with a pronounced Palestinian tilt.  Its commissioner-general, Pierre Krahenbuhl, has publicly condemned Israel, accusing the Israelis of "serious violation of international law."  On Al Jazeera television, the agency's spokesman, Christopher Gunness, has wept for the Palestinians.  Yet the U.N. representatives in Gaza helped cater the conflict and are already setting the table for the next round.

Defund the UNRWA.  The UNRWA is on the front lines of the Hamas War in Gaza.  In the headlines, its schools are forever being fired on or found to be stockpiling rockets.  If individual Gazans are being used as human shields, the UNRWA often seems as if it is one big organizational human shield.  But the UNRWA isn't Hamas' human shield.  The UNRWA is Hamas.  The "UN" part of the UNRWA, the blue logos and symbols, fool us into thinking of it as an international humanitarian organization.  But the UNRWA in Gaza functions as a large Palestinian Arab organization with a smattering of foreign supervisory staff.  And those foreign staffers often tend to leave during a conflict.

And what does Barack H. Obama do?  He throws money at them!
US State Department announces tens of millions in aid to UNRWA.  The US State Department announced late Monday [9/22/2014] that it plans to provide over $71 million in humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip, a large portion of which is earmarked for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

The controversial UN agency that found rockets in its Gaza schools.  Critics from Israeli officials to Middle East experts to local analysts say the U.N. [Relief and Works] agency, which is internationally funded, serves a one-sided Palestinian narrative that is biased, implicitly anti-Israel and exhaustively emotional.  And fueling even greater criticism, it recently discovered rocket caches of unknown provenance in three of its schools.

Report: Desperate Hamas Stealing UN Food Stamps to Survive.  Though Hamas started the latest round of conflict with Israel, it seems to have calculated — wrongly — that Israel would not launch a ground invasion.  Members of the Hamas terrorist organization are reportedly so desperate for food after three-and-a-half weeks of war with Israel that they are seizing United Nations food coupons to keep their members fed — and to prevent them from surrendering to Israeli soldiers out of sheer hunger.

Gaza Continued: What Do We Do About the UN?  Word came Tuesday that now a third UNRWA school in Gaza was housing rockets for Hamas.  (How the missiles were never noticed before was unclear — maybe they were stacked beneath the erasers and paper clips or hidden under student spitballs.)

Rockets found at UNRWA school for third time.  Palestinian health officials in the Gaza Strip reported early Wednesday [7/30/2014] that 20 people were killed when a school operated by UNRWA in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip was shelled by the IDF, media reports indicated.  The school served as a humanitarian shelter for many displaced Palestinians in Gaza.  The IDF has so far been unable to confirm the claim, and the matter is currently under investigation.  The incident came hours after UNRWA reported that for the third time in two weeks, it found that weapons had been stored in one of its Gaza schools.

Hamas Terror Tunnels: What Did the UN Know and When Did It Know It?  Amidst news the Israelis have turned down secretary of State Kerry's latest, apparently Qatar-inspired, ceasefire, not to mention the other day's nauseatingly familiar anti-Israel fusillade from the mega-Orwellian UN Human Rights Council, comes word that Hamas had been planning a gigantic attack on Israel this September via its dozens of tunnels. [...] Meanwhile, another culprit waits in the wings, perhaps the greatest enabler of all of Hamas terror — the United Nations.  I strongly suspect the UN has not just been consistently biased and hateful toward Israel, it has also — at the very least — looked the other way as mass murder and kidnappings (sedatives and handcuffs have been found in the tunnels) were being planned against Israel's citizens.

US Alone Votes No as UN Human Rights Council Adopts Israel-Bashing Resolution.  The U.N. Human Rights Council will hold an emergency session on Wednesday [7/23/2014]to consider a draft resolution that condemns Israel repeatedly for its military offensive against Hamas, but does not mention the terrorist group once.  The resolution calls for the establishment of an international commission of inquiry to probe allegations that Israel has committed war crimes and violated international law.  Alongside multiple criticisms of Israel — whose conduct the council "condemns," "strongly condemns" and "condemns in the strongest terms" — there is a single reference in the three-page typewritten draft to rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.

For second time, rockets found at UN school in Gaza.  For the second time in less than a week, rockets have been found in a school in Gaza operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the body said.  "Today, in the course of the regular inspection of its premises, UNRWA discovered rockets hidden in a vacant school in the Gaza Strip," the organization said in a statement issued Tuesday [7/22/2014].  "As soon as the rockets were discovered, UNRWA staff were withdrawn from the premises, and so we are unable to confirm the precise number of rockets.  The school is situated between two other UNRWA schools that currently each accommodate 1,500 internally displaced persons." [...] Last Wednesday, UNRWA found some 20 rockets in a school under its auspices, also during a standard inspection. A

The UN wants control of everything, including our vocabulary.
UN Pushes For Migrants to be Called Refugees.  United Nations officials are pushing for many of the Central Americans fleeing to the U.S. to be treated as refugees displaced by armed conflict, a designation meant to increase pressure on the United States and Mexico to accept tens of thousands of people currently ineligible for asylum.

UN says Detroit water cutoffs may violate human rights.  United Nations experts said Wednesday [6/25/2014] that Detroit's decision to cut off water to residents who haven't paid their bills may violate international human rights.  The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights put out a press release from Geneva citing three experts in response to reports that the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is cutting off water access to thousands of residents in the city.

There is no right to free water.  Water is not a human right.  It's a human need.  Ever since Adam and Eve got booted out of Eden, people have devoted most of their energy and labor to meeting the basic needs of food, water, clothing and shelter.  It's the origin of work — you're hungry, you're thirsty, you need some decent threads and a roof over your head, you have to get up in the morning and do something constructive.  There will be a lot of folks in the streets of Detroit Friday afternoon [7/18/2014] challenging that truth.  The legion of lefties in town for the Netroots Nation gathering have scheduled a march to protest the water shut-offs underway in Detroit as inhumane and a violation of civil rights.  Fully half of the water customers in Detroit don't pay their bills.

Obama Calls For MORE Cooperation With The UN.  President Barack Obama Wednesday offered the clearest view so far of his progressive-style national security strategy, when he told graduating cadets that the U.S. will be stronger if it entangles itself in a net of international organizations and treaties.  Institutions such as the World Bank and the United Nations should be strengthened, he said.  "Evolving these institutions to meet the demands of today must be a critical part of American leadership," he said.  And the United States will gain by relying on these international groups, he said.

UN Urged to Tell Catholic Church it Has No Right to Oppose Abortion.  The Center for Reproductive Rights, a non-governmental organization that advocates for legalized abortion, is urging the United Nations Committee Against Torture to tell the Catholic Church that "the freedom of speech and of religion" do not give the church the right to advocate against abortion.  When the committee met in Geneva on Monday for a hearing on the Vatican's compliance with the Convention Against Torture, Vice Chairperson Felice Gaer, an American, said in her opening statement that laws that ban all abortion — which is the position of the Catholic Church — may violate the convention.

Citing International "Law," UN Demands U.S. End Death Penalty.  Responding to what has been described as the "botched" execution of convicted rapist and murderer Clayton Lockett this week, the international outfit's "human rights office" called on authorities across America to end the death penalty.  It took 43 minutes for the death-row inmate to die of a heart attack.  According to the UN "High Commissioner" for "human rights," Lockett's alleged suffering following the April 29 lethal injection could be classified as "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment" under "international human rights law."  It was not clear where the UN thought it derived the authority to create or impose any sort of "law" on its member governments, or what specific treaty the outfit believes was violated.

U.S. Doesn't Object, So Iran Gets a Seat on U.N. Women's Rights Body.  The Obama administration on Wednesday [4/23/2014] criticized Iran's election to the U.N.'s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) — but neither the U.S. nor any other delegation objected when given the opportunity to do so, thus allowing Iran to get the seat "by acclamation."  Iran will now serve on the CSW, a body dealing with gender equality and the advancement of women, for another four-year term, having already been a member since 2011.

Iran Wins Seat On UN Women's Rights Commission.  Iran made significant strides in gaining power in the United Nations Economic and Social Council this week, confirming their place on five sub-committees.  Most controversial among these is their appointment to the Commission on the Status of Women, which would give the nation influence over global women's rights.

Obama Wants to Give the UN Over 30% More of Our Money.  The United Nations is a globalist bureaucracy composed of 192 countries.  The UN claims to focus on "peacekeeping" missions while promoting peace and prosperity around the world, but is composed of communist regimes, autocratic tyrants, petty dictators, human rights abusers and third world countries.  Despite the United States being only one of 192 member nations of the UN, the US contributes at least 22% of the UN's budget.  However, President Obama believes that the US should contribute even more money to the UN, and has asked for a major increase in taxpayer funding for the UN in his latest budget proposal.

Exposing Climate Science Corruption.  [Tim] Ball logically begins at the modern beginning of stifling environmental activism:  Paul Erhlich's egregious and fallacious 1967 book, The Population Bomb.  Ball documents how the 1972 Club of Rome report ridiculously preached population growth must be immediately stopped for our planet to avoid imminent and utter catastrophe.  Ball then walks us through the 1992 United Nations Rio Conference led by Canadian tycoon Maurice Strong.  This conference gave birth to Agenda 21, a bureaucratic justification that — among other things — tied population growth to other perceived evils such as global warming.  Strong ultimately conceived of and implemented the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, whose purpose is to advance the notion that human activities are bringing about climate catastrophe.

SPLC Launches Hysterical Attack on Critics of UN Agenda 21.  The self-styled "civil rights" organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21.  Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as "conspiracy" and "theory," or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at "activist groups," "mainstream politicians," voters, "extremists," and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls "sustainable development" in the United States.

The Principles of Freedom vs. Agenda 21.  When the principles of freedom are recognized and adhered to, there is prosperity, justice, and happiness.  When the principles have been ignored or rejected, men have suffered poverty, stagnation, and political tyranny.  So to obtain freedom it's vital that we know what the principles are.  There are three, actually.  Individualism, private property, and free enterprise.  They are all necessary for freedom to exist.  Leave just one out, and freedom is eroded.

Top American official charges U.N. patent organization chief with 'serious violations of national and international law'.  The top American official at the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organization has accused its Director General, Francis Gurry, of "serious misconduct" and "violations of national and international law" in connection with a bizarre series of alleged 2008 burglaries of staffers' offices to obtain samples of their DNA.  The official, James Pooley, is one of Gurry's four top deputies, and also a highly regarded U.S. patent lawyer, who was nominated for his WIPO job by the Obama Administration in 2009.

Senator Accuses Obama of Trying to Implement UN Arms Trade Treaty Without Congress.  The senator leading the bipartisan coalition against the UN Arms Trade Treaty is concerned about new administration efforts to implement the treaty without bringing it through Congress.  Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) wrote President Obama today to mark the first anniversary of the majority-rule adoption of the treaty by the UN General Assembly.  On Oct. 15, 2013, 50 members of the Senate sent a letter to Obama "pledging to oppose ratification of the treaty, and giving notice that we do not regard the U.S. as bound to uphold its object as purpose."

Obama Wants to Pay 33% More to U.N. and Other Int'l Groups.  When U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power testifies before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday, the panel will consider a budget request for international organizations that is 33 percent bigger than last year's, including a 43 percent hike in U.S. contributions to peacekeeping missions.  The administration's fiscal year 2015 budget request for the U.N. and other organizations is $4.036 billion, up from $3.031 billion in FY2014.  For contributions to peacekeeping missions, it is asking for $2.518 billion, up from $1.765 [billion] last year.

House panel to examine Internet governance.  The House Commerce Committee will hold a hearing next month to examine the Obama administration's recent move to relinquish oversight of the technical back end of the Internet, the committee announced Tuesday [3/18/2014]. [...] The hearing comes after last week's announcement by the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration that it will relinquish its oversight role of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which manages the technical side of the Internet's domain name system.

When U.S. Steps Back, Will Russia and China Control the Internet?  The United States is planning to give up its last remaining authority over the technical management of the Internet.  The Commerce Department announced Friday that it will give the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), an international nonprofit group, control over the database of names and addresses that allows computers around the world to connect to each other.  [Obama] Administration officials say U.S. authority over the Internet address system was always intended to be temporary and that ultimate power should rest with the "global Internet community."

The Editor says...
Until today, when have you ever heard anyone claim that "U.S. authority over the Internet address system was always intended to be temporary"?

The U.S. Should Reject the U.N.'s Authoritarian Control of the Internet.  The explosion of Internet capabilities, specifically over the past seven years, has engendered seismic shifts in societies around the globe.  This dynamic game changer challenges the economic and political status quo by providing a venue for sharing ideas and practicing innovation.  According to a 2011 report by the McKinsey Global Institute, the Internet "accounted for 21 percent of the GDP growth in mature economies" from 2007 to 2011, and greatly benefited "consumers and small, upstart entrepreneurs."  Together with other economic, political, and social benefits, the value of an unchained Internet is apparent.

You Bought His Ticket; He Took You for a Ride.  Perhaps there is some true justice in the revelation today that Barack Obama, apologist to the world for American greatness, has just given a huge part of that scientific and engineering eminence to a world body that has no legal claim to all that which has come from America's technological genius.  Yes, Silicon Valley, it's true, your messiah is telling you, "You didn't build that."  How does it feel to have your legs cut from beneath you by this global leveler who has no regard for the huge amount of endeavor and intellect that has gone into this world-changing technology you have created?

Did The Administration Just Weaken Internet Security And Set The Stage For A Global Web Tax?  The Obama administration on Friday [3/14/2014] announced plans to relinquish U.S. control over management of the Internet to the "global Internet community."  While the announcement of the plan was sure to please international critics (and some Democrats), it created concern among business leaders and others who depend on a smoothly functioning web.  Oh, and it may lead to a global web tax, as well. [...] The Department of Commerce announced the decision to give up control of the Internet's core infrastructure, in part, as a result of international pressure following revelations by Edward Snowden about the NSA's global surveillance program.

Internet transition triggers GOP backlash.  The Obama administration's decision to relinquish oversight over the group that manages the Internet's architecture has raised an early red flag with Republicans, who blast the move as a threat to free speech.  The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has managed the Web's domain-name system under contract with the U.S. government for more than a decade — but the Los Angeles-based nonprofit has worked to transform itself into a global organization free of U.S. ties.

Handing Over the Keys to the Internet.  For the uninitiated, this is tech-speak for "the basics." The "DNS's authoritative root zone file" is effectively a master directory of website addresses, kept in one place to avoid duplication and to guarantee that when everybody types "nationalreview.com" into their browser, they get the same page; [...] As you might imagine, it matters a great deal who is in charge of this compendium, for whoever controls it can use the thing essentially as a global on/off switch.  As it stands, a tyrant is able to restrict access to certain parts of the Internet in his own country, but he is unable to make a page or a server or a service disappear completely.

Obama Surrenders U.S. Internet Control To Globalists.  U.S. officials plan to relinquish federal control over the administration of the Internet to something called the "global Internet community," which is full of tyrants to whom the free flow of information is a threat.

ICANN 101: Who Will Oversee the Internet?  The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration said Friday it plans to give up control over the body that manages Internet names and addresses.  The action means that the U.S. government will relinquish its oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, which manages a number of technical functions that help computers locate the correct servers and websites.  Here are some basics of what's happening. [...] How did the U.S. get oversight of it in the first place?  The Internet was pioneered in the U.S., and for a long time the folks that helped invent it were also in charge of managing it.  Until 1998, a computer scientist named Jon Postel at the University of Southern California managed a host of functions related to Internet names and addresses, collectively known as IANA (Internet Assigned Names Authority).  When Mr. Postel died in 1998, the Commerce Department issued a contract to ICANN to manage the IANA functions.

US transfer of Internet control years in the making, fueled by foreign pressure.  The decision was announced nonchalantly, in trademark Washington fashion on a Friday afternoon:  The U.S. government will cede its last bit of control over the Internet.  The government has maintained that influence through contracts with the organization that administers the Internet, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN.  But a Commerce Department agency announced Friday that it would relinquish control over ICANN, presumably when its contract expires in September 2015.  The office said it wants the group to next convene "global stakeholders" to come up with a transition plan — a transition to what remains unknown.

Hiding Behind 'Global Internet Community' the ravening United Nations Wolf.  Like the bully taking candy away from the proverbial baby, high-handed President Barack Hussein Obama is giving away the Internet that is in no way his to give.  His latest act of out-and-out thievery graduates him from the most unpopular American president of all time, to Enemy of the Free World Numero Uno. [...] The Information Highway known as the Worldwide Web has been the main form of communication for everyday people, and now Obama is taking it away from an America he loathes and, just as been long feared, is handing it over to the United Nations.  Make no mistake, the falsely named "global internet Community" they're trying to sell is the ravening wolf in sheep's clothing.

U.S. to relinquish remaining control over the Internet.  U.S. officials announced plans Friday [3/14/2014] to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web.  Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance last year.

The Editor says...
Barack Obama announced (on a Friday, of course) that he is relinquishing U.S. control of the internet to an international body yet to be announced — probably the UN — because he hates America and wants to wreck the economy any way he can.  This malicious act can now be added to the long list of impeachable offenses that have accumulated over the last five years.

U.S. to relinquish remaining control over the Internet.  U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web.  Pressure to let go of the final vestiges of U.S. authority over the system of Web addresses and domain names that organize the Internet has been building for more than a decade and was supercharged by the backlash last year to revelations about National Security Agency surveillance.  The change would end the long-running contract between the Commerce Department and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a California-based nonprofit group.  That contract is set to expire next year but could be extended if the transition plan is not complete.

US to relinquish control over Internet management system.  The U.S. government on Friday announced it is taking steps to relinquish control over the back end of the Internet.  The Department of Commerce announced it is beginning a process to transfer control over the technical system that operates the Internet's domain name system, which ensures that Internet users can get to the websites they're looking for.  Currently, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration — an agency with Commerce — oversees that technical system, named the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).  Historically, it has contracted the operation of IANA out to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number (ICANN) on a biennial basis.  The current contract is set to expire in September of 2015.

U.S. To Give Up Key Internet Governance Role.  Obama administration officials moved late Friday to end the U.S.'s role in overseeing Internet domain names and addresses, announcing plans to relinquish its role by the end of next year and turning the keys over to the global Internet community.  Commerce department officials announced that the U.S. government would relinquish its role overseeing Internet addresses in favor of a to-be-determined global body.  The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has managed the use and governance of domain names and Internet addresses for the U.S. government since 1998, when it was awarded the task by the Commerce Department.  Based in Los Angeles, ICANN oversees the Internet's address system and has moved in recent years to open up new domain names.

U.S. Government to Give Up Key Internet Powers.  Facing international pressure, the U.S. government said Friday it will give up control over important technical aspects of the Internet.  The Commerce Department will no longer oversee the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers, a nonprofit group that manages the Internet's address system.  Larry Strickling, the assistant secretary of Commerce for communications and information, said the "global Internet community" will have the final say over the database of names and addresses that allows computers around the world to communicate with each other.  The Internet was invented in the United States, and the country has long maintained a central role.  But as the Internet has grown, other countries have demanded a greater voice in its governance.

UN's 'Post-2015 Development Agenda' Aims to Imprison the World.  Think of Barack Obama this way and getting the big picture will be yours: Obama is the magician on the world stage; the daily diversion to keep your enrapt attention while the fate of you and your loved ones is being planned elsewhere.  The far-reaching fate for a captive new human society is not being planned in Washington, D.C., but in New York City.  That fate is no longer somewhere off in the distant future but is being made ready to eclipse all of human society — by the end of 2015.

Climate Prophets and Profiteers: The most cynical part of John Kerry's climate-change speech.  The weirdest thing about John Kerry's weekend speech on climate-change — other than the fact that this is the same guy who in 1997 voted to forbid the U.S. from signing the Kyoto Protocol — is that it begins by quoting something Maurice Strong said at the U.N.'s 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro:  "Every bit of evidence I've seen persuades me that we are on a course leading to tragedy."  Maurice who?  Mr. Strong, a former oil executive from Canada (he was Pierre Trudeau's pick to run state-owned Petro-Canada in the mid-1970s), was for many years the U.N.'s ultimate mandarin.

Obama's Foreign Policy: Enemy Action.  [President Obama seems to think] that America's power is corrupt, we need a foreign policy of withdrawal, retreat, and apologetic humility, with our national sovereignty subjected to transnational institutions like the U.N., the International Court of Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights — exactly the program that Obama has been working on for the last 5 years.  Given the damage such policies are serially inflicting on our security and interests, it starts to make sense that inexperience or stupidity is not as cogent an explanation as enemy action.

Report: Obama offers UN climate agreement that doesn't need congressional approval.  The Obama administration is quietly forging ahead with plans to offer up an international commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to fight global warming — without congressional approval.  Reuters reports that the U.S. submitted its vision for a new international global warming agreement to the United Nations on Wednesday, suggesting a "bifurcated approach" of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol — placing different emissions targets for rich and poor countries.

Bloomberg tapped to be UN cities, climate change envoy.  Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg was appointed Friday [1/31/2014] to be the U.N. special envoy for cities and climate change, a position that will give the billionaire businessman and philanthropist an international stage to press for action to combat global warming.

Global Warming [is] A Back Door To Socialism — And Now Even The UN Admits It.  As evidence discredits global warming, resistance to such facts by green elites reveals their real aim is bringing socialism in through the back door.  But don't take our word for it.  Listen to the climate change boss at the U.N.  Christiana Figueres, with the lumpy title of executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), came right out and said it:  Democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming.  The really good model is communist China.

UN climate chief: Communism is best to fight global warming.  United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming.  Communist China, she says, is the best model.  China may be the world's top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is "doing it right" when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres.  "They actually want to breathe air that they don't have to look at," she said.  "They're not doing this because they want to save the planet.  They're doing it because it's in their national interest."

Kerry Tries to Convince Senate that UN Treaty Won't Affect U.S. Sovereignty.  The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) opened for signature in 2007 and came into effect in May 2009 after 20 parties had ratified it.  As of October 2013, it has 158 signatories.  The U.S. has signed the convention, but a Senate vote last year failed to ratify it.  The treaty aims to promote and ensure the enjoyment of equal rights by people with disabilities. [...] The treaty must secure a two-thirds majority for Senate passage.  In December 2012, the CRPD fell five votes short as only 61 senators voted in favor and 38 senators — all Republicans — voted against it.

Climate Change Alarm Is A U.N. Extortion Racket.  Reports out of Warsaw, Poland, say that 132 nations walked out of the United Nations climate conference Wednesday.  Are they upset over global warming?  No, they just want more money from rich countries.

Latest from the Climate Fail Files.  Of course, whenever you hear the term "equity" at one of these UN gatherings, it is code for the U.S. and Europe to hand over their wealth.  The UN is aiming for a new comprehensive climate treaty by 2015.  Doesn't look good, unless Iran steps into the picture somehow, thus assuring a U.S. cave in.  By the way, kudos to Australia, which sent a low-level diplomat to this round of the climate talks rather than their senior environment or energy minister, as they have always done in the past.  We should start following their lead.

Developing countries want to FORCE rich countries to bail them out if they're hit by natural disasters.  Developing countries have called for legally-binding rules that force rich countries to provide money when they are affected by extreme weather events such as Typhoon Haiyan.  Currently, wealthy nations such as Britain offer donations following a natural disaster.  But last night [11/22/2013] a group of nations came together to argue extreme events, such as droughts or typhoons, are becoming more frequent because of man-made global warming.

UN climate talks fall apart as 132 countries storm out.  Poor countries pulled out of the United Nations climate talks during a fight over transferring wealth from richer countries to fight global warming.  The G77 and China bloc led 132 poor countries in a walk out during talks about "loss and damage" compensation for the consequences of global warming that countries cannot adapt to, like Typhoon Haiyan.  The countries that left claim to have the support of other coalitions of poor nations, including the Least Developed Countries, the Alliance of Small Island States and the Africa Group.

Kerry on U.N. Disabilities Treaty: 'No Impact Whatsoever On the Sovereignty of the United States'.  Despite what critics claim could lead to restrictions on parenting and educating special needs children in the United States and global abortion promotion, Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday [11/21/2013] that ratification of the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will have "no impact" on U.S. sovereignty.  "There's no impact whatsoever on the sovereignty of the United States," Kerry said.  "In fact, you all are exercising our sovereignty right now by doing what the framers of the Constitution envisioned, which is ratifying a treaty."

U.N. Disabilities Treaty a Trojan Horse.  The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, despite its innocent-sounding name, contains a Trojan horse for the pro-life movement.  It is the first treaty that contains a reference to "reproductive health."  This term may sound innocuous, but it is not.  Ever since the U.N. Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo in 1994, anti-life forces have used the term to try to promote a binding, international legal right to abortion.  They have argued — and continue to argue — that the repetition of these words, in various statements in a variety of contexts around the world, has created a "customary law" right to abortion that, in turn, binds every nation in the world.

Obama Seeks 2nd Chance For UN Disabilities Pact.  The Obama administration is pushing for ratification of a U.N. accord on the rights of the disabled less than a year after Senate Republicans rejected pleas for its passage from two former GOP presidential nominees and delivered a stinging rebuke to a global treaty modeled largely on American law.

Saudi Arabia, People's Republic of China Will Join UN 'Human Rights' Council.  By the end of Tuesday [11/12/2013], a handful of countries notorious for blocking human rights promotion at home and abroad will have rejoined the U.N. Human Rights Council.  Due to an absence of competition, Tuesday's vote at the General Assembly in New York will see China, Russia and Saudi Arabia all return to the council in January, just one year after term limits obliged them to stand down.  They will be joined by Vietnam, which will take a seat for the first time since the Geneva-based HRC was established in 2006.

The UN came to Haiti and left behind a disaster.  A few key lessons can be learnt from the searing experience of Haiti, when no one would seriously deny that the humanitarian response went badly wrong.  First of all, forget about the headline figures for the amount of aid that will now be pledged for the Philippines.  Between 2010 and 2012, the world promised $9.3 billion for Haiti, but even on the most generous estimate, only about half of this was ever delivered. [...] When I was in Port-au-Prince, almost 700,000 people were sleeping in the open every night because their homes had been destroyed.  Astonishingly, after all the promises, about 300,000 of them are still homeless today.

Sell the UN.  There are 193 member states of the United Nations General Assembly.  Each gets the same number of votes:  One.  That is true whether the member state is China (population 1.4 billion) or Tuvalu (population 10,698).

A Useless Obama Addresses the Useless United Nations.  I don't know who looked more pathetic when President Obama addressed the United Nations Assembly on Tuesday; him or the assembled ambassadors, many from nations where human rights, justice, and liberty don't exist.  Like the League of Nations before it, the United Nations has long since demonstrated how useless it is.

Are We Too Late to Stop U.N. Agenda 21?  The global cabal of U.N. Agenda 21 is behind global warming, regionalism, zoning, land and water use control, wealth redistribution, weakening and eventual replacement of the dollar as the world's reserve currency, global warming, cap and trade, Smart Grid, Smart Meters, carbon taxes, high gasoline prices, global citizens, IB World Schools, Common Core nationalized education standards, biofuels, Marxist advancement across the globe, food control, water access control via the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), gun control, health control, the Arab Spring/Winter, unchecked illegal immigration, and they are unstoppable.

Samantha, Syria and the use of power.  Did you ever wonder why we have been teetering on the brink of war with Syria when virtually no one in America wants to go to war?  The answer can be summed up in two words:  Samantha Power.  Power is the new American ambassador to the United Nations and a longtime foreign-policy adviser to President Barack Obama.  She is also a dangerously radical proponent of military intervention in humanitarian crises around the globe.

Emperor Obama's Parlor Games.  Don't get me wrong:  I'm always up for listening to an American president bash the United Nations.  But it helps if he does so for the right reason.  The United Nations is useless not because the incumbent president considers it to be temporarily dysfunctional or unsupportive of his aims but because it is an inherently corrupt, flawed, and feckless operation that — unlike Congress — has no binding influence on the United States.

Wind farms are a breach of human rights says UN. No, really.  The United Nations, as we know, is the very belly of the beast; the onlie begetter of almost all the world's most far-reaching and dangerous environmental policies.  It was under the auspices of two UN organisations — the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organisation — that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was established.

U.S. spy agency bugged U.N. headquarters: Germany's Spiegel.  The U.S. National Security Agency has bugged the United Nations' New York headquarters, Germany's Der Spiegel weekly said on Sunday [8/25/2013] in a report on U.S. spying that could further strain relations between Washington and its allies.

The Editor says...
Here's how to fix that problem:  Move the UN headquarters.

Haiti cholera epidemic caused by UN, say experts.  A group of international scientists studying a deadly cholera epidemic in Haiti has concluded that peacekeepers from the United Nations were the most likely source of the disease.  The epidemic, which began in late 2010, has so far claimed over 8,000 lives.

Groups Opposed to Chicago School Closures Seek U.N. Intervention.  Advocacy groups opposing the planned shutdown of 49 schools in Chicago are turning to the United Nations for help, urging U.N. officials to investigate and take steps to prevent human rights abuses which, they say, will result from the closures.  In the latest in a number of appeals by U.S. civic organizations to the world body, the Midwest Coalition for Human Rights this week submitted a letter to the U.N. human rights apparatus in Geneva, asking that it "investigate and take preventative measures to address the potential domestic and international human rights violations that may result from these school closings."

Bill Ayers, reincarnated ACORN ask United Nations to intervene in Chicago school closings.  Noted American terrorist and left-wing radical Bill Ayers is among the signatories of a letter calling on the United Nations to probe the closing of 49 Chicago elementary schools based on claims that it is causing massive human rights violations.  The "letter of allegation" is 24 pages long and contains 17 footnotes. [...] In addition to Ayers, others signers of the letter include four people associated with Action Now, an Illinois community-organizing group that split off from ACORN just before it dissolved because of financial problems and scandals.

Should 'illegal' immigrants be rebranded as 'irregular' immigrants? The UN thinks so.  "Illegal immigration" apparently carries connotations of criminality, of someone doing something wrong.  Like, for example, paying a people smuggler €700 to transport them a rickety boat that might sink with the loss of all on board.  Whereas "irregular" is a more "neutral" term.  Probably all the same to you and me.

U.S.-funded U.N. camps teach Palestinian kids: Jews are 'wolves'.  A video has revealed that youth camps run by a United Nations body and funded in part by the United States teaches Palestinian children to hate Jewish people.  The camps are run by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency and are targeted to children, Israel National News reported.

Will the Senate Rubber-Stamp Power's Contempt?  Contempt of Congress and obstruction of the Senate's constitutional advice-and-consent obligation is the only way to interpret the performance of Samantha Power during Wednesday's [7/17/2013] hearing on her nomination by President Obama to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.  Power has a long history of decrying "crimes committed, sponsored, or permitted by the United States."  Of demanding that the United States apologize for its sundry "sins."

The UN prepares to go to war for the first time.  The UN is about to go to war for the first time in its history after the Security Council voted unanimously to intervene to fight rebels in the Congo.  Around 3,000 UN troops wearing the blue insignia, are being deployed to the central African nation which has been wracked by years of civil war and lawlessness.  The UN has led a 14-year-long peacekeeping in a bid to end the ethic conflict which was sparked by the genocide in neighbouring Rwanda when thousands of Hutus fled into the Congo to evade justice.

Anti-Americanism Increasing at the United Nations.  Anti-Americanism at the United Nations is now routine.  Every few days, some kind of statement comes out of the United Nations condemning the United States.

Benghazi and Obama's Ambition to Be U.N. SecGen.  In three and a half years, Obama will be out of a job.  He is 50 now and wants to soar to greater heights, because that's what matters more than anything else in his life.  What's better to Obama's Napoleonic self than being U.N. Sec Gen?  He is a man who wants to be worshiped by the world, and the path to that goal is clear.  It is also an opportunity to carry out his internationalist and pro-Muslim convictions.

Congress Seeks to Head Off UN Interference in Internet Governance.  The bill was not considered in a vacuum.  Congress wants to put the U.S. firmly on record opposing a plan by a little-known UN agency, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), to vastly expand the ability of individual countries to censor the internet, and have a much greater say in naming domains, assigning numbers, and directing internet traffic in their own countries.  It's not quite the "UN takeover of the internet" conspiracy theory that some have been pushing.  But neither is it as benign and non-controversial as the conspiracy debunkers claim.

A Bad Quarter for the U.N..  On international peace and security, human rights, and issues of management and accountability, the organization has reminded the world just how ineffective, inept, and embarrassing it is.

The Pressure is Building!  [Scroll down]  The 'green' agenda of Agenda 21 provides a cover for a whole host of abuses by those seeking to dominate the ignorant under the guise of Agenda 21.  Global cooling, global warning [sic], climate control, or whatever, is used to advance the agenda, and is leading us to a glacier-like death by 'greenocide'.  With this 'greenocide', we are losing personal property rights, and we are staring at mushrooming utility energy costs, as coal, natural gas and oil are under constant attack by ne'er do well elites.  Also, the cost of building just about everything is being driven up [...]

Prominent American Scientists Call For Eco-Dictatorship Under UN Rule.  [Scroll down]  By admitting they are willing to "move beyond existent levels of public permission" to push ahead with draconian environmental policies, these prominent scientists (among whom we find two Nobel laureates and one Paul Ehrlich) have proven their willingness to deceive the American population for their "environmental" control model.  As Aaron Dykes put it while interviewing Lord Christopher Monckton, the environmental "cause" is nothing more than "an absolute valued pretext for their absolute control model".

2013: What is the United Nations Organization for?  The United Nations Organization was founded in 1945 to stop conflicts and provide a forum for debate, discussion and dialogue for crisis management.  It costs around 15 billion USD a year to run, so in indexed terms has already spent some one thousand billion dollars of taxpayers' money.

The 2nd Amendment and the Kool-Aid Drinkers.  We are the UN.  Other countries mostly join the U.N. to secure money, funding and training and few have any offensive combat capability.  Most serve as guards at static locations and have no will to fight.  America is the enforcement arm of the U.N.  We have the money, equipment, personnel and lift platforms to get the job done.  If the president ever let the U.N. in this country, it would be a foreign invasion and armed Americans would stand up and crush them in a day.  Our government would break down and the president would be ousted for letting foreign militaries invade our country.

The War against U.N. Agenda 21 Just Got Hotter.  Thinking Americans understand now what U.N. Agenda 21 is and are not backing down from fighting the anti-American, anti-prosperity, wealth redistribution scheme of the United Nations against our way of life.  The U.N. has deemed commercial agriculture unsustainable and has used taxpayer dollars and local supervisors to re-zone, re-shape, and prohibit land use for local agriculture or building that is not approved by their bio-diversity plan of limiting human habitation — all in the name of saving the planet.

U.S. Taxpayers Will Continue to Pay More Than One-Fifth of the U.N. Budget.  In one of its last actions of the year, the United Nations General Assembly on Christmas Eve agreed to extend for another three years the formula that has U.S. taxpayers contributing more than one-fifth of the world body's regular budget.  No member-state called for a recorded vote, and the resolution confirming the contributions that each country will make for the 2013-2015 period was summarily adopted.  The assembly also approved a two-year U.N. budget of $5.4 billion.

Why Are Broke Local Governments Sending Dues to ICLEI and Pushing Through Agenda 21?  ICLEI is an international organization that exists to promote and expand the UN's Agenda 21.  Proponents of the "sustainability" movement call anyone who opposes it "conspiracy theorists."  Regardless of whether or not you believe this is a plot to take away property rights, force us all into urban living areas, or spread the wealth around, there is still reason to oppose it.  ICLEI currently boasts about 600 US members including cities, towns, and counties.  Members pay dues based on population, but it isn't easy finding out how much the dues cost.

US Backs UN Measure for Universal Health Coverage.  The UN has drafted a resolution that calls for universal health coverage, and unsurprisingly, the Obama Administration has backed it wholeheartedly.  There are a host of problems attendant with this action by the U.S.  One problem is that according to the UN, member states, civil society and international organizations not only are called upon to support universal health coverage, but to implement the Millenium Development Goals.  What are those goals?

U.S. should walk out of the United Nations.  Why do western democracies such as the United States remain in the United Nations?  After all the politically charged decisions made by this disgraceful organization, it's often difficult to understand the reason.  Perhaps the West's laissez-faire attitude toward this growing cesspool of political activity is finally coming to an end.  A highly controversial decision with respect to a volatile part of the world could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.

US rejects UN telecom bill.  Saying the scope of the treaty was "problematic," US negotiators have rejected the UN telecom accord recently agreed to in Doha.

White House won't back proposals to regulate Internet in UN treaty talks.  White House officials warned on Tuesday that the United States would not support a United Nations treaty that gives governments more control over the Internet.  Administration officials argued in a blog post that the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) taking place in Dubai "should be about updating a public telecommunications treaty to reflect today's market-based realities — not a new venue to create regulations on the Internet, private networks, or the data flowing across them."

The way past Obama is dismantling the United Nations.  Dismantling the United Nations is an end-around, out-of-the-box type of tactic that we have yet see anyone consider, yet could well be an effective method of neutering threats on multiple levels.  The ongoing plan to fundamentally transform America did not originate with Obama, who is merely the latest Agent of Change working to complete a UN agenda to implement One World Order (OWO).

The incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations exposed.  This is the trailer to U.N. Me, a "harrowing, yet often hilarious, trip through the farcical world" exposing the United Nations as nothing but a criminal organization.

The UN's ITU and the Internet: A Cautionary Tale.  As the United Nations heads deeper into its Internet grab, a.k.a its 11-day telecom treaty conference, in Dubai, things aren't going so well for America and the friends of freedom.  The Hill reports that "A joint proposal from the United States and Canada aimed at keeping Internet regulations out of a global telecommunications treaty failed to secure early approval from other countries on Tuesday" — though talks may continue along these lines.

U.N. Readies Attack on Internet as Obama Dithers.  While talk of the United States tumbling over a so-called "fiscal cliff" dominates news cycles in the nation's capital and other major cities, on the other side of the planet, the United Nations is quietly but relentlessly pressing to take control of the Internet.  It is being aided in this illicit endeavor by various totalitarian regimes, and by many smaller states that routinely use their strength in numbers to bash America.

After homeschoolers lobby, UN disabilities treaty fails.  A United Nations human rights treaty that drew broad ire from conservative groups was rejected by a slender margin on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon [12/4/2012].  The vote was 61 for to 31 against, six "aye" votes shy of the two-thirds majority necessary to pass a treaty.  The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ostensibly would have expanded access and opportunity for the disabled.  But opponents, particularly those in homeschooling and faith-based organizations, argued that it redefined parental rights more narrowly while impinging on U.S. sovereignty.

The End of the Free Internet?  Russia and China want firms like Google to have to pay to send streaming video into other countries, creating a charge that can be passed on to the users.  The idea is to make it so expensive that nobody in their totalitarian countries downloads anything that might open their eyes to the truth Moscow and Beijing want to keep out.  The ITU is now charged with regulating long-distance phone services.  But Moscow and Beijing want to expand its power to dictate to the Internet and they have a willing tool in [Dr. Hamadoun] Toure, who was educated in Leningrad and Moscow in the pre-glasnost era.

We're trying to stop the UN from regulating the Internet, Ambassador Kramer says.  A U.N. conference that kicked off today in Dubai has sparked fear of Internet censorship in the U.S. — something U.S. Ambassador Terry Kramer said he is doing everything in his power to prevent.  "Nothing regarding the Internet do we want subject to U.N. review and regulation," Kramer told FoxNews.com.

Agenda 21 explained.  This is a plan that's been underway since the 80s and three presidents have signed off on it, starting with George H. W. Bush.

The Fate Of The Free Internet Goes Up For Vote In December.  The fate of the free Internet will be decided at a private meeting in Dubai on December 3.  UN member nations will argue for or against a plan that would give control of the Internet to the ITU, instead of the current NGO multiple stakeholder approach.  Some within the US government have already voiced their opposition, and now the EU is joining them.  Wired UK reports that the European Parliament has issued a resolution against a potential takeover of the Web by the ITU.

Global Governance Begins on December 14.  The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), an imprint of the UN, is holding its World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) from December 3-14, 2012.  The stated purpose of the WCIT is to update the UN's "global treaty" on telecommunications to deal more directly and comprehensively with the internet.  Knowing who controls the UN, it is not hard to see that a primary aim of the updated "treaty" will be to give credence to the regulation and monitoring of online activity in ways that are desirable to the (authoritarian) majority of member states.

U.N. Disabilities Treaty Would Limit U.S. Sovereignty.  Those who thought that the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) adequately guaranteed the rights of the handicapped to have access to all facets of American life were apparently wrong.  The U.S. Senate is considering ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which President Obama signed in 2009 and which goes well beyond mandating wheel-chair ramps for public buildings.  CRPD doesn't even bother to adequately define what disabilities it covers but rather merely says the definition is "evolving," a loaded term that rivals in its potential expansiveness the phrase "the Secretary shall determine" that is repeatedly found in the Affordable Care Act.

The way out of ObamaNation is the collapse of Agenda 21.  Agenda 21 is the carbon monoxide of the world of bureaucratic entrapment.  It has already poisoned and killed you before anyone noticed its presence.

Will thugs rule the web?  If delegates have their way at next week's World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai, the man in charge of the Web will be a Soviet-trained apparatchik from Cold War days.  Don't count on the Obama-appointed US delegate to stop the threatened changes in how the Internet works, and how much power governments have to decide what their citizens see on the World Wide Web.  Pushing the agenda at Dubai are Russia and China.  And anything China, Russia and the United Nations agree on can't be good for America — or the cause of freedom.

Free Internet Under Fire.  A Russian government proposal to amend a U.N. treaty at a meeting of the world body's World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai next week contains a provision that calls for bringing "IP-based networks" under U.N. control.  The U.N. treaty, called the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITR), is currently limited to regulating international telecommunications services.  The Russian proposal to amend the treaty has the support of other non-democratic states such as China and Iran.

Will Obama Let the U.N. Seize The Internet?  The U.N. plans to control the tool that tyrants fear most — technology that promotes free speech and intellectual freedom — by imposing a global tax in the name of fairness.

Can House Stop U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Gun Grab?  A House resolution, as futile as it may be, represents growing opposition to another administration bow to the U.N. encroachment on U.S. sovereignty at the expense of its laws and even our Constitution.

Aw Shucks, Why Not Let the UN Control the Internet?  The UN, in one way or another, has been eyeing the internet for years as a potential font of cash and lever of control.  And the UN these days is the kind of place where Iran now chairs the Non-Aligned Movement, which consists of 119 member states plus the Palestinians — and accounts for well over half the membership of the UN General Assembly.  All the usual old troubles apply:  The UN remains an unaccountable, murky bureaucracy, lending itself to the manipulations of its worst members.

National Heritage Sites and Agenda 21.  Sustainable development economists and UN promoters have one goal in mind, replacing the current capitalist system with sustainable development, a form of global economics for the "common good," a communist world society in which the United Nations will play the role of benevolent dictator.

A Declaration of Grievances.  [Scroll down]  The very day after the 2012 election — this past Wednesday — the executive branch, led by Obama, resumed work on an illegal treaty with the U.N. to achieve despotic gun control reforms that could not otherwise be achieved through the legislature.  Treaties to accomplish domestic policies — instead of properly international matters — are illegal, and yet Obama pursued this very goal throughout most of 2012, only to curtail his efforts during the campaign and then eerily resume them the very morning after he had guaranteed his continued tenure at the presidential seat.
