US Should Not Only Defund UN But Withdraw From It
FrontPage Magazine ^ | December 26, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Let’s take our $3 billion and go.

The United States pays 22% of the total UN budget. What we get for our $3 billion a year is a corrupt organization whose dysfunctional and hostile agencies are united in opposing us around the world.

The United Nations does only two things consistently and effectively: waste money and bash Israel. Sometimes it manages to do both at the same time.

...

The Jewish State is the UN’s scapegoat for anything and everything. The Palestinian Authority blamed Israel at the UN for Global Warming.

...

Here’s what we get for our $3 billion.

UNRWA schools are turning out students who want to fight for ISIS. The UN’s email system has been used to distribute child pornography. UN staff members have smuggled drugs, attacked each other with knives and pool cues, not to mention a tractor. This month the UN marked Anti-Corruption Day despite refusing to fight its own corruption. The former President of the UN General Assembly was arrested on bribery charges last year. He had also headed UNICEF’s executive board. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is battling accusations of bribery.

Some of this might be defensible if the UN did anything useful. It doesn’t. It’s just a slush fund for redistributing our money to a vast UN bureaucracy and anyone willing to bribe it for benefits.

...

These days, the United Nations is a forum for Islamist powers and the rotting remains of the Communist front to continue its war against the free world while seducing weak-minded nations into going along.

We are not making the world a better place by being members of this anti-American organization which vacillates between being evil and useless.

Should be one of Prez Trump’s first acts. Either get rid of U.N. entirely and off our soil, or defund it until it goes away or reforms, which it will never do. So buh bye, U.N., either way.

Every one will benefit.

Trump just may do that and no doubt the left will flip out, but let them, what does he care, theyve had their 8 years and proven themselves time and time again to be enemies of the US and our allies. F them and F the UN.

Bingo! There is not one reason this phony body should exist other than milking the US dry. Not one!

Thank you Øbama, for bringing the UN issue to a 'head', where politically, it is now possible to defund and quit the UN. Let it be so.

Can Trump pull us out himself, or does Congress have control of that?

How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …

The Naked Communist, Chapter 8
Absolutely true on that score; the only way to “reform” the UN is to rebuild it from the ground up, but with rotten foundations such as these, the question is who would be inclined to.

There is NO reason for such an evil, unelected, bureaucracy to exist. It is evil and only evil people will aspire to hold office in the UN-—baby-rapers, child and drug traffickers, and control freaks, who will take positions so they can manipulate and control other people and steal other people’s hard earned money to bribe others.

It is like the IRS and CIA—bureaus of evil appointed people who are malcontents and incapable of earning a living in a free society and who only want to control others and get a steady paycheck to do inhumane, unconstitutional things to others.

We need to be FREE in this country (Go to pre-Wilson times)——have NO illegitimate organizations/bureaucracies controlling and stealing our resources and private property for their pockets and their propaganda to destroy the minds of the masses.

All these organizations do, is steal money from true producers (middle classes) and use it to destroy and control perceptions of the masses (as Solzhenitsyn and Bradbury stated).

Look at that most evil brainwashing department of so-called “education”. As Socrates stated-—NEVER let the State control education of the children, for it will only make them into slaves for the state-—make them dumb and ignorant of Truth (God). They” killed God” in Europe and we have seen the suicidal acts the ignorant, irrational masses allow now. Trained like Pavlov’s dog to be slaves (bots) for the State.

We have generations of programmed/brainwashed “bots” being forced into godless/satanic worldview through the skool system and with the programming (MTV/music and other mind-numbing, artificial, worthless cr@p so children are incapable of “critical thinking” and have nothing but mush (lies/artificial reality) in their brains to “think” with. All Common Sense and Natural instincts totally destroyed (and parents assist in this they are so programmed and controlled). Emasculated, puerile, self-hating males (homosexuals/trans) and women who hate their own genetic offspring and males. That is INTENTIONAL—by the evil Malthusian sodomite elites (souless Marxists) who want to have Spirit-Cooking Parties 24/7, orgies and torturing “parties” like Epstein, Jimmy Savile, GHW Bush (Franklin Coverup) to celebrate their He/She Goat god (Freemasonry/secret society occults) and destroy the Natural Family which will create their utopia (destroy all biological connections for total dehumanization (removal of Natural Law/common sense in children, etc.).

I think congress would have to since we signed on to the charter, but regardless, it would be best to have congress vote to leave the UN and stop funding and the President can sign it. Would serve them right - they have become nothing more than a global warming and Israel bashing organization. They don’t succeed at anything else that I can see.

Waste of money and we should not grant legitimacy to such a messed up organization.

Many of us here have been advocating just that for many years now. The U.N. would wither like a grape on a vine when that happens.

Whenever I hear that we should withdraw from the UN, I recall to mind - for whatever it’s worth - the old saying by Vito Corleone via Machiavelli and Sun Tsu: “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.”

Don’t know why....

Americans have been saying that the U.N. should go for a half century. It is a front group for world Communism and a enemy of freedom that is the cornerstone of America. It is a parasitic body that lives in the splendor found is such bodies occupied by an elite class benefiting from great wealth with no accountability. They live like Communists and other tin pot dictators.

Trump could get a bill passed to withdraw the US from the UN if Paul Ryan were a patriotic conservative.

What are we to make of an organization in which the racist butcher Robert Mugabe gets the same vote as the country of Japan?
