Ban Ki-Moon: All Hail the Arab Spring UN Sec.-Gen. in Israel, says turmoil is "inevitable evolution

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called upon Israelis to be happy about the Islamist rebellion tearing through the Middle East.

Speaking at the Herzliya Conference Thursday, Ban said:

"The storms of the Arab Spring are indeed sweeping the region. Change keeps coming, with blinding and often bewildering speed. Some in Israel and elsewhere view these events with concern. One year later, they say that the Arab Spring has failed; that these dramatic transformations have moved the Middle East backward, not forward. "Others fear new governments will emerge that are unfriendly to Israel. Understandably, they point to the conflict in Syria, to the emergence of Islamist oriented leadership in some governments; to practical issues concerning Iran. Yet to speak frankly among good friends, I have to say that it pains me to hear such complaints.

This one-world UN nonsense will hopefully come to an end one of these days. The UN shouldn’t even exist, let alone should anyone care about their predictions.

"Thesis, antithesis, synthesis" as Karl Marx's intellectual father Georg Hegel would say.

Oh, it will. That is a given. It's all spelled out in The Book.

On one hand, I think Ban Ki-Moon is a giant tool. I didn’t think anyone could outdo Kofi Annan in that respect, but he seems to be proving me wrong. On the other hand, I think the next SecGenUN could well be worse given the trend.

Waaaaayyyy back in 1984, WGST-AM radio in Atlanta (not exactly a hotbed of radical, conservative Americanist philosophy) polled its listening audience and asked the question “Is the United Nations doing a good job?” 81% responded “NO!”

So, DECADES later, why the hell are we still involved with one of the most corrupt and liberty-threatening organizations ever invented?

Sounds like a question for YOUR congress critter’s next TOWN HALL MEETING to me.

Some essential history if you are to fully grasp the rot – and the plot -- at the core of this thoroughly corrupt gaggle of over-educated morons:

So the kleptocrats on the East River can argue for a world-wide tax in order to promote stability.
