Article on the United Nations.
More and more Americans are coming to the chilling realization that U.S. membership in the United Nations poses a very real threat to our survival as a free and independent nation. Here are some good reasons to be concerned:
1. The UN's basic philosophy is both anti-American and pro-totalitarian.
Our Declaration of Independence proclaims the "self-evident" truth that
"men ... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."
But, in its Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN ignores God's
existence, implies that it grants rights, and then repeatedly claims power
"as provided by law" to cancel them out of existence. If any government can
place restrictions on such fundamental rights as freedom of speech, the
right to keep and bear arms, freedoms of the press, association, movement,
and religion, soon there will be no such freedoms.
2. The UN was founded by Communists and CFR members whose common goal was a
socialist world government. Sixteen key U.S. officials who shaped the
policies leading to the creation of the UN were later exposed in sworn
testimony as secret Communists. These included Alger Hiss, chief planner of
the 1945 founding conference, and the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
Harry Dexter White. The Soviet Union under Stalin and the entire Communist
Party USA apparatus worked tirelessly to launch the UN. Since its beginning
in 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has always worked for world
government. The key CFR founder, Edward Mandell House, in his book, Philip
Dru: Administrator, called for "Socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx ..."
The CFR was an early promoter of the UN, and 43 members of the U.S.
delegation at the UN founding conference were or would become CFR members.
3. The UN has always chosen socialist one-worlders for leaders. The
Secretary-General at the UN founding conference was Soviet spy Alger Hiss.
He was followed as Secretary-General by Norwegian socialist Trygve Lie,
Swedish socialist Dag Hammarskjold, Burmese Marxist U Thant, Austrian
former Nazi Kurt Waldheim, Peruvian socialist Javier Perez deCuellar, and
Egyptian socialist Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Each has consistently used the
full resources of the UN to promote Communist and socialist causes around
the world. The Socialist International (which proudly traces its origins to
the First International headed by Karl Marx) today claims tens of millions
of members in 54 countries. At its 1962 Congress, it declared: "The
ultimate objective of the parties of the Socialist International is nothing
less than world government ... Membership of the United Nations must be
made universal ..." Almost all of the UN's "independent" commissions for
the last thirty years have been headed by members of the Socialist
International.
4. The UN seeks power to control the environment, population, children ...
the world. Both the 1972 UN Environmental Program and the 1992 UN
Conference on Environment and Development laid plans to whip up widespread
environmental concerns (some exaggerated, many completely fabricated).
These concerns would then be used as justification for increasing UN
authority on environmental issues. The statements and publications of these
UN programs leave little doubt that their goal is a world government with
the power to cancel national sovereignty, regulate economic activity, and
control the human race all, of course, under the banner of "protecting the
environment." In late 1994, UN planners meeting in Egypt approved a
20-year, $17 billion plan to "stabilize" the world's population. The UN's
goal is to reduce population selectively by encouraging abortion,
sterilization, and controlled human breeding. The UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child also claims power not only to grant rights but also to
cancel them "as provided by law." It claims that governments must guarantee
children "freedom of expression ... freedom to seek, receive, and impart
information ... freedom of thought, conscience, and religion," regardless
of the wishes of their parents.
5. The UN Charter outlines the path to world tyranny. After giving lip
service about not intervening "in matters which are essentially within the
domestic jurisdiction of any state ...," the UN Charter continues, "but
this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures
under Chapter VII." Chapter VII discusses sanctions and boycotts, but if
these are decided to "be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea,
or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international
peace and security." The UN used this broad assertion of authority as the
pretext for its armed intervention in the domestic turmoil in Somalia and
Haiti.
6. The UN is building its own army to enforce its will. In 1992, UN
Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, fulfilling a directive from the UN
Security Council, unveiled An Agenda for Peace, a plan to strengthen UN
"peacekeeping" capabilities. The plan calls for armed forces to be made
available to the UN "on a permanent basis." It ominously warns, "The time
of absolute and exclusive sovereignty has passed" and proceeds to name a
long list of "risks for stability" that would be used to justify use of the
"permanent" UN army to enforce its will. Incredibly, U.S. leaders are using
America's military to pave the way for this UN army. In Bosnia, Somalia,
Haiti, and elsewhere, foreign UN commanders have controlled our troops.
When 15 Americans were killed over Iraq in mid-1994, Vice-President Gore
extended condolences "to the families of those who died in the service of
the United Nations." Even more incredibly, it has been the official policy
of the U.S. government since 1961 to disarm America and create a UN army.
This policy concludes: "progressive controlled disarmament would proceed to
the point where no nation would have the military power to challenge the
progressively strengthened UN Peace Force." (See State Department
publication 7277: Freedom From War.)

7. The UN doesn't settle disputes - it makes them worse! Our ambassador to
the UN in 1982, although a UN supporter, admitted, "The UN has become an
arena in which countries are drawn into problems they might never have
become involved in. " Ask yourself: Should Seychelles or Benin or Guyana or
Barbados have to take sides in a clash that breaks out on the opposite side
of the world? When centuries-old animosities erupt in the former
Yugoslavia, why does the UN inject its presence with troops, blockades,
bombing, and a parade of speeches? American troops serving as globocops for
the UN become targets for criminals and terrorists. In 1983, 241 U.S.
Marines were blown to bits at the Beirut airport. Five years later, a U.S.
Marine Lieutenant Colonel was kidnapped and eventually murdered by Arab
terrorists while in a UN unit in Lebanon (he was unarmed - as required by
the UN). The UN "peacekeeping mission" in Somalia cost the lives of another
36 Americans in 1993.
8. The UN ignores Communist atrocities but targets non-Communist nations
and leaders. When Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary in the 1950s, when the
Chinese Communists were murdering Tibetans in the 1960s, when the Soviets
were butchering civilians in Afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s, when
Chechnya was brutalized by the Russians in the 1990s, the UN did nothing!
But the UN declared tiny Rhodesia "a threat to international peace" in the
1960s, enabling pro-communist terrorist Robert Mugabe to seize power. And
it was a UN-led campaign that brought self-described Communist and
convicted terrorist Nelson Mandela to power in South Africa in the 1990s.
9. The UN embraces Communist China - history's most murderous criminal
regime. In 1949, anti-Communist Nationalist China, one of the UN's founding
members, was forced from the mainland to Taiwan by the Communists. In 1971,
the UN expelled Taiwan and embraced the brutal Red Chinese government - a
government responsible for over 35 million murders. When the vote admitting
Red China was announced, UN delegates danced in the aisles to show their
contempt for America and their joy at the triumph of Red China.
10. The UN is a moral cesspool filled with perverts and fat cats. In 1993,
the UN Economic and Social Council granted consultant status to the
International Gay and Lesbian Association which includes the North American
Man/Boy Love Association (advocates of child molestation) and the Dutch
group Vereniging Martijn (which also promotes use of children as sex
objects). In 1988, the top Belgian UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) official was
one of a group convicted of running a child sex ring. Moral bankruptcy is
commonplace in UN operations. In Zimbabwe, UNICEF-donated equipment helped
terrorists seize power. In Vietnam, the Communists received $13 million
from UNICEF while untold thousands of boat people fled for their lives. Fat
cats? UN employees are paid 40% more than comparable U.S. workers and have
subsidized rent. An ex-UNICEF official confirmed that "pampered and
cosseted staffs" of various aid agencies "absorb 80% of all UN
expenditures."
11. America supplies the money, the UN then finances tyrants and assorted
enemies of the U.S., and conditions in the nations "aided" grow worse. U.S.
taxpayers pay 25% of the UN budget plus 31% of the UN special-agency
budgets. Additional billions of our dollars go to the IMF, World Bank, and
other UN related lending agencies where they have been used for incredibly
wasteful and subversive UN projects. (Not surprising since these agencies
were designed by Soviet agent Harry Dexter White and Fabian Socialist John
Maynard Keynes.) Socialist International spokesman Hilary Marquand aptly
described the IMF as "in essence a Socialist conception." World Bank "aid"
funds went to brutal Marxist dictator Mengistu while he was causing
large-scale starvation and death in Ethiopia; to Tanzanian dictator Julius
Nyerere as he drove peasants off their land and burned their huts; and to
the Vietnamese Communists, sending thousands of boat people into the sea.
Even Newsweek magazine concluded that the UN's foreign aid programs tend
"to prop up incompetent governments or subsidize economies so they can
never stand on their own."
12. The UN is a war organization, NOT a peace organization. Article 42 of
the UN Charter claims authority to "take such action by air, sea, or land
forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and
security." But the UN definition of "peace" is never given. Tyrannical
regimes throughout history have defined "peace" as the absence of all
opposition. To achieve "peace" in Katanga in 1961, UN planes bombed
hospitals, schools, administrative buildings, and private homes. Katanga
was an anti-Communist province of the Belgian Congo seeking freedom from
the Communist-controlled central government. The UN is not now, and has
never been, a peace organization. It will use whatever military power it is
given to force all nations of the world to submit.
=============================================================
Destroy the sovereignty of the United States and the enslavement of the American
people within a U.N. one-world dictatorship is a complete and unknown mystery to the
vast majority of the American people. The reason for this unawareness of the
frightening danger to our country and to the entire free world is simple. The
masterminds behind this great conspiracy have absolute control of all of our
mass-communications media, especially television, the radio, the press, and
Hollywood. We all know that our State Department, the Pentagon, and the White
House have brazenly proclaimed that they have the right and the power to manage the
news, to tell us not the truth but what they want us to believe. They have seized
that power on orders from their masters of the great conspiracy and the objective
is to brainwash the people into accepting the phony peace bait to transform the
United States into an enslaved unit of the United Nations' one-world government.
