The U.N., a Boil on the Arse of America

The U.N., a Boil on the Arse of America

We should have known at the inception of the United Nations when the U.S.S.R. was accorded three separate votes in the General Assembly that the whole idea was a bad deal for the United States.

We should have known but we didn’t, or else we did know and bought into the deal anyway because, ostensibly, it was all in the interests of a lasting world peace, aka, pie in the sky.

Then, too, convicted Soviet spy, Alger Hiss, helped establish the structure of the U.N. However, that was before the Cold War with the Soviet Union so his machinations must have been motivated by the purest and most patriotic intentions.

The fact that the world hasn’t had any real peace since the U.N. entered the geopolitcal picture still hasn’t resonated with many Americans and the fact that nothing the U.N. has ever done has favored American interests. We still pour money and precious military resources into that cesspool.

The U.N. has been and will continue to be the proverbial teats on a bull while posing as mankind’s savior and American suckers will continue to subsidize that sad excuse for a deliberative, international body.

Far worse, the rotting building on New York City’s East River and its thousands of rotten, resident delegates and functionaries represent the most insidious, dangerous force we have ever faced.

Too many books and articles, including any number of articles in this space, have been written on the fraud that is the United Nations to beat that dead horse so let’s just focus on one of its most recent foray into diplomacy.

US Drones May Be Tantamount to Summary Executions: Of all institutions, the U.N. should be the last to speak of drones but this week U.N. Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions Philip Alston did just that.

With that ostentatious title, I guess Mr. Alston feels he’s entitled to address any issue he damned well pleases. . . .
