A new anti-United Nations television campaign is reversing the familiar refrain "get the U.S. out of the U.N.," and instead urges the global body be kicked out of the U.S.
"The U.N. has become an apologist and defender of terrorist organizations and their agents," says the 60-second commercial, which points out the recent Oil-for-Food scandal involving the U.N.
"Billions of dollars intended for humanitarian aid instead went to pay the families of Palestinian terrorists, and to buy weapons for Iraq-based terrorists. Millions more went to bribe journalists and officials in countries opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom, like France, Germany and Russia, the most vocal critics of the war. What a coincidence."
It continues by asking: "We tell other countries not to harbor organizations that support terrorists, why then do we harbor the U.N. here in America?"
Leading the campaign to boot the U.N. is the conservative organization, Move America Forward, which was founded by former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian and San Francisco talk-radio personality Melanie Morgan.
Kaloogian recently chaired the Recall Gray Davis Committee, leading the effort that replaced the embattled California governor with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and also helped rally millions of Americans to oppose the airing of the CBS' piece "The Reagans," which portrayed the former first family unfavorably.
"The recent revelations on the U.N. Oil-for-Food scandal are the final straws in making the case against the U.N.," said Kaloogian. "The U.S. government is resolved to take action against nations that harbor terrorists or organizations which provide financial aid or in-kind assistance to terrorists. Why, then does our nation play host to, and harbor, the United Nations when recent evidence implicates the U.N.'s role in providing assistance to terrorists such as Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein?"
The group is asking concerned citizens to sign its online petition which will be delivered to President Bush and leaders of Congress, as well as the U.N.
The petition concludes by stating, "We, the undersigned, do therefore call for the following to take place immediately:
Removal of the United Nations Headquarters facilities from New York, relocating it outside of the United States and any of its territories.
A thorough review of the U.S. financial contributions to the U.N. with a goal of a more equitable payment schedule. Until that review is concluded, eliminate all the payments made by the United States to the United Nations." Response to the effort thus far has been overwhelming, according to the group.
"I have never seen such a vigorous response to any grassroots effort like there's been to this effort to take serious steps to sanction the U.N. for it's coddling of terrorists and terrorist-supporting regimes," said Morgan of KSFO Radio.
"We need drastic change right away, and that begins with getting the U.N. out of this country and all the terrorist-sympathizing U.N. agents out of here immediately. Then we need to re-examine the amount of money that we provide the U.N. Americans pay too much to the U.N. for the treatment we receive," she said.
It is a broken organization and not worth fixing. Get it out of the U S and get us out of it at the same time.
Have the French build them a new compound.
Yep, the turds at the UN bash us all day long meanwhile, we pay more to the UN than any other country and we built their headquarters on our soil.
Oh ya, France would be the perfect place for the new UN headquarters.
****It is a broken organization and not worth fixing. Get it out of the U S and get us out of it at the same time.****
So if we'll gonna kick them out from America at the same get out from the organization, what would be its effect on America? would it be good or bad?... would that measure will lead U.S.A to isolation, from the world organization?
It's about time ! And I suggest we cut aide to Egypt as soon as possible.
....I just hope that the LEFTists are not part of U.N. corruption, because if they're part of it, i think they should go with the United Nations to France or North Pole..
thanks for the info
guido
"What always fascinates me about the left is how they see corruption in all the places it doesn't exist (Bush Halliburton, Unical...pretty much evil corporations) but they totally miss the obvious total corruption of the U.N. How they can be so blind is just beyond me."
Because it's not a financial advantage to them vis a vis the UN, EU, etc. They aren't gonna shake out a good cash cow...look how many in the UN have gotten beau coup rich of the oil for food deal. We need to get out that joke of an organization and quite pissing away good tax dollars into it.
The fact that the UN was founded in San Francisco should have been a clear signal that the organization is a bastion of vice, villainy, and lunacy. Then putting it in New York guaranteed that it absorb the poisonous pseudo-intellectualism of Gotham. So, the UN is the child of a monstrous union, a Mordred that combines the worst of the Sodom and Gomorrah of America. This festering boil must be lanced, and in dramatic fashion.
GUIDO asked for it earlier... thanks for taking the initiative...
... tell French Realty Companies to look for a 100 sq. meter lot for U.N Headquarters... in Ivory Coast!
Pingggggggggg.......
PING!!!
Thanks for the link, linked it and did it....
I dont think giving them the boot is the right thing to do for several reasons.
First, if they move to france, or any other terrorist apoligist nation, they will become even more of a US power counterbalance than they already are.
If they are in France, it would be even less likely they would co-operate with those trying to hold them accountable for their scandals.
If they are in another country, its harder to keep an eye on what their "diplomats" do in thier spare time.
We should cut off all and any funding until this oil-for-terrorsim UN-Saddam deal is fully accounted for.
I say we just give the entire country of Haiti to the UN. Let them show the world how good they are at running that den of thieves. Maybe then the militias would collect on all those unpaid parking tickets.
BUMP
Better late than never. And if it happens during the Bush II administration, it will be one of the biggest feathers in his cap.
Send the UN to France?
You have to be kidding. They don't deserve such good food!
I think Haiti, Sudan, Bangladesh or a real poverty stricken country would be better.
Then the UN officials can dig in and really help some poor people, instead of living like kings in NY.
Bravo Señor, that will prove if United Nation is really effective as a world body...
"would that measure will lead U.S.A to isolation, from the world organization?"
I don't get it. Haven't they shown over the last few years they could care less what we say any way? Right now they have a tax free building and land... and full diplomatic immunity for their hacks.
The land and building may be the only problem we have. Did we grant it outright to the UN? Would we have to buy it back... who fixes the price?
I think the biggest initial issues we would have would be legal concerning the land, etc.
The land was granted to them by Rockefeller. It is not legally part of New York (or even the US). A bit like embassys abroad
Seize the building and turn it over to the city in partial payment for unpaid parking tickets. Kick the "diplomats" out and tell them they are ineligible to visit the US in the future.
The UN has followed in the footsteps of its predecessor - the League of Nations.
Apparently, global peace-keeping bodies are simply NOT a workable solution. The end of the League of Nations was WWII.
I shudder to think what the end of the UN will be - except that we are already in it.
There is another esteemed organization that has been fighting this fight and collecting petition signatures for a long time, namely The John Birch Society.
This thread will now die, however, due to a morbid and unfounded fear of anything JBS on this site.
You're welcome.

Go for it, and good luck!
Let them set up shop in Haiti....
Back to the top for a timely message regarding this topic.
PING!
Time to sign a petition to can the un
The question one should ask, is what is and has the uN done for America? Answer: Nothing, except cost us taxpayers. It was originally the League of Nations and Algier Hiss a communist/ one of FDR's was instrumental in getting us in this POS anti-american organization. Why keep the fox in the hen house when your chickens keep on disappearing. Who cares what the the rest of the world thinks, if not for us they would be running around in loin cloths and eating grubs. (F) the UN and it's unamerican sympathizers. NSNR.
We just send a building inspector to find a clogged toilet and then we can condemn and raze the building.
It is broken, corrupt, and anti-American? Of course. But moving it to another country would give that other country increased prestige. There's some benefit in diplomats and staff from pissant third world countries coming to America where they see what a superpower looks like.
We need to drastically reform the UN, no question about it. But kicking it out of the US won't accomplish that.
But kicking it out of the US won't accomplish that.
In a NYC minute the corruption on our soil perpetrated by third world despots, propped up by US cold hard cash with a worldwide yearning to control a superpower(us) would be hard pressed to continue. Step two would be to end our participation in the farce.
So YES, it will accomplish that!
Is there any doubt that Israel would be subject to sanctions and embargos if we were not actively reigning in the UN?
BTTT
The bigger picture is simply this - The UN cannot exist without the USA's safety blanket of cash, power and prestege. They would simply dissolve.
Economic sanctions worked real well against Iraq didn't they?
++++Is there any doubt that Israel would be subject to sanctions and embargos if we were not actively reigning in the UN?++++
Reigning in the UN? Sounds great, when do we start?
Thanks for the Ping!
Done
Not that easy I think. They are "diplomats" so I don't think they do not have to obey our laws.... the way normal people or businesses do.
