ALBANY — The United Nations and the Bloomberg administration are not abandoning a proposal to build a U.N. building on a playground, despite harsh criticism from state Senate leaders, a top official told The Post.

"The general feeling is to let the wind blow, let the emotionalism die down and then get back to the specifics, which will prove it to be a good project for New York," said the high official, who is involved in the project and who requested anonymity.

He said the project will create jobs, not cost the city or state money, and ensure that the United Nations and the $2.5 billion it contributes to the city economy remain in New York.

My 2¢'s about the UN?

Neal Boortz has the right idea- kick them off US soil, plop them down in Haiti, and tell them, "when you get this straightened out, give us a call..."

Moreover:

--Sex abuse charges rock UN in Congo-
-- Interesting this is being posted today. Talk show host Dennis Prager had the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Doree Gold, on his show today. Mr. Gold has just written a book about the UN called the Tower of Babble(i think this was the title). Some of the things he was saying about the UN were unbelievable.

--TV campaign urging: Kick U.N. out of U.S.-
"I say we just give the entire country of Haiti to the UN."--or move them to Zimbabwe or another country in Africa. Let them see what the really do for the world.

--UN knew of Saddam's oil-for-food thefts: BBC-
The sooner we resign from this corrupt organization and kick them off our soil, the better.

So we have to retain this scab on the Hudson just so
NYC gets 2.5 billion??

Why don't we just pay NYC to STFU and kick them out.

[Cobra64]

Dammit! If W allows this to happen, I will personally send a bag of dog-poop to the White House. That's how disgusting the UN is. It smells like sh!t.

[thoughtomator]

Knock the UN down, build the stadium there, everyone who deserves to be a winner is a winner.

[appeal2]

Its actually a scab on the East River. You are talking prime real estate that could be put to a useful purpose.

[BookaT]

Who's Paying For This?

Oh, Stupid Question!

WE ARE

[konaice]

Its actually a scab on the East River.

Shows how long its been since I set foot in that hell hole.....

[explodingspleen]

and ensure that the United Nations and the $2.5 billion it contributes to the city economy remain in New York.

Our reward for catering to the freeloaders is that they'll spend some of the money we give them in New York while they're there?

What arrogant sons of ... To think that they can openly say, We'll do what we want despite public opinion.

"But it was the weasels who scuppered any return to business-as-usual. Messrs Chirac and de Villepin barely paused for breath before moving on from their pre-war sabotage programme to a revised post-war sabotage programme."

"Do you think his lawyers will speak French?"

Don't sweat it Saddam, your lawyers on his way, and your punk Chirac has already said he's willing to post the bail.

The United Nations Wants to TAX you!

"Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali ... urged the [UN] to consider imposing its own taxes to become less dependent on the United States...."

-Washington Times, January 16, 1996

Are you concerned that...
...numerous taxation schemes to finance the UN are being considered?

Economist James Tobin proposed in 1972 that the UN be the recipient of a tax of 0.05% on foreign exchange transactions. In 1993, the Ford Foundation produced Financing an Effective United Nations, a report containing recommendations that the UN tax airline traffic, shipping, and arms sales. In 1995, the UN-funded Commission on Global Governance suggested that the UN collect levies from those who use "flight lanes, sea lanes for ships, ocean fishing areas, and the electromagnetic spectrum." Ultimately, of course, the burden of all taxation falls on consumers.

Are you concerned that...
...a State Department study specifically proposed giving the UN taxing power and, ultimately, control of the world?

In 1962, the State Department financed a study entitled "A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations." The report outlined what would be needed for such a total world government: "a mandatory universal membership," an ability to use "physical force," and "compulsory jurisdiction" of its courts. One of the UN's "principle features," stated the report, would be "enforceable taxing powers." (Emphasis added.)

Are you concerned that...
...no matter how much our nation gives, the UN will never be satisfied?

In addition to hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars in foreign aid, our nation has provided the UN with tens of billions more for its programs since 1945. Currently, U.S. contributions make up 25% of the UN's annual budget. But, in his May 2001 speech at Notre Dame University, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan complained with a typical anit-American attitude, "It is shameful that the United States ... should be one of the least generous in terms of helping the world's poor."

Are you concerned that...
...taxing authority would fuel an unaccountable UN Superstate?

Former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said of a UN tax: "We would not be under the daily financial will of member states who are unwilling to pay up." UN Founder Harlan Cleveland made the same point in Futures: Rather than relying on "the worn-out policy of year-to-year decisions by individual governments" (about how much to give the UN), "what's needed is a flow of funds for development which are generated automatically under international control." And there would be no Congress to limit the UN's appetite for your tax dollars!

The United Nations Wants to Take Your Land!
"Private land ownership ... contributes to social injustice.... Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."

- United Nations "Habitat I" Conference Report, 1976

Are you concerned...
...that the UN is militantly anti-property rights?

The UN is dominated by socialist, communist, and other collectivist regimes that are hostile to private property, the basis of our freedom and prosperity. Karl Marx wrote in the Communist Manifesto that "the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: abolition of private property." Marx continued: "In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend."

Are you concerned...
...that the UN intends to carry out Marx's plan?

In true Marxist fashion, the report of the UN "Habitat I" Conference declares that private land ownership "contributes to social injustice.... Public control of land use is therefore indispensable...." Agenda 21, the UN's massive environmental manifesto, envisions a UN empowered to control and micro-manage our planetary environment and the actions of every person on Earth. It says: "All countries should undertake a comprehensive national inventory of their land resources" and "develop national land-management plans." The UN's Assessment would "reallocate" property rights and have "stakeholder groups," instead of property owners, make decisions on private land use.

Are you concerned...
...that our own U.S. government is adopting many of the UN's anti-property rights and policies and treaties?

The U.S. has signed Agenda 21 and has begun implementing the UN's "Wildlands Project," an incredible plan to push millions of Americans off their land to make vast nature preserves out of half of the nation. Also, under the UN's 1988 Convention on Narcotics, the U.S. has adopted unconstitutional "asset forfeiture" laws that allow seizure of property without due process.

Are you concerned...
...that UN treaties could destroy our heritage of freedom?

Nobel Prizewinning economist, Friedrich A. Hayek, noted that "the system of private property is the most important guaranty of freedom, not only for those who own property, but scarcely less for those who do not. It is only because the control of the means of production is divided among many people acting independently that nobody has complete power over us, that we as individuals can decide what to do with ourselves."

Here is how we can create jobs!

We cut the funding of the UN (To whom we alone comprise 25% of their budget) and use that money to build buildings and hire people in VIABLE and PRODUCTIVE jobs.

The UN means money??? They in reality export our money. If you look at the money they CAN NOT repay for military operations such as in Somalia, Haiti and elsewhere while we pay 1/4 of their TOTAL budget you notice that LESS than we pay into we get back. The fact that the UN provides jobs and pumps money into the US is a joke! We give them their money which they then manage as they see fit.

The UN is good at one thing. Spending other people’s money. Collin Powell said "This is your litmus test" in reference to Iraq. He was right and they failed. Even though not articulated that way, the UN's image has become that of a corrupt, impotent organization led by third rate politicians and motivated by ulterior motives. The UN was seriously damaged by the Iraq war, though people like Annan don't see it. But in the end, when a nation (Who's 1/4 your budget) and provides the bulk of you combat power (Often for free) thinks you're a buffoon, corrupt and weak, you should be concerned.

[gortklattu]

A friend of mine told me that there is quite a cost to the FBI for having the UN in the US. Of course, that will be independent of our dues.

[CasearianDaoist]

W does not have a say in the matter. It is a NYS issue.

[mewzilla]

"The general feeling is to let the wind blow, let the emotionalism die down and then get back to the specifics...

In other words, take the same approach the UN is suing to stonewall the investigations into Oil For Food. Stall, stall, stall. Ain't gonna work....

[Route101]

Oh...I see....kickbacks to the Bloomberg Adminstration....

[conservativecorner]

It ain't gonna happen Mayor. Attitudes have changed in this country concerning the UN. Why not build a playground where the UN now stands? After all, the diplomats already treat NY as a giant playground.

[Major_Risktaker]

Dammit! If W allows this to happen, I will personally send a bag of dog-poop to the White House. That's how disgusting the UN is. It smells like sh!t.

This could be one reason
is smells so bad.

[TXFireman]

"What arrogant sons of ... To think that they can openly say, We'll do what we want despite public opinion."

It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't correct.

[appeal2]

If its money they want then let them legalize gambling and build a giant casino. That will bring more than 2.5 billion and they'll pay their parking tickets too.

This is the same justification for every sports stadium, convention center and other socialist projects that are doomed to failure.

[television is just wrong]

Hopefully this building is out of the U.S.and how are they paing for it???

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Dubya's fan]

The new building should be sited in Paris, Berlin, Havana, Tehran or Pyongyang.

UNITED NATIONS PLANS NEW BUILDING

It's already been built...

[hosepipe]

If anything remotely like this HAPPENS....
With a totally Republican Congress and President..
"WE'VE BEEN HAD...." and "the" republican party is a joke..

-And- I might add, the "I'm a unite'er not a divider" gambit will be a code word for sedition.. Uniteing with your sworne enemy(s) is TREASON... not statemanship.. Providing the U.N. Nations with a meeting place is building the Trojan Horse YOURSELF and paying to have it transported into your GATES and PROTECTED to keep an EYE on your enemys.. or worse to be in league WITH them.

I thought that was what SPYING(CIA, NSA, FBI, others) was all about.. The U.N. building is basically a Trojan Horse, filled with DEMOCRATS(enemys) from all over the world.. Democrats are FOR democracy.. And democracy is the social DISEASE that spawns Socialism.. and socialism is slavery by government.. The U/N is a slave market.. housed in the U.S. for bidding purposes.. Auctioning off PEOPLE far and wide.. to democracy..

NOTE:....
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx
