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 Editor says...

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.

The Editor says...

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.

The Editor says...

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.

The Editor says...

Bureaucrats don't grow food, raise cattle, mine coal, or drill for oil.

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."

The Editor says...

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.

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.

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
