October 24th – United Nations Day – A Day Unworthy of Celebration
October 24th, 2007 . by adminOctober 24, declared in 1948 by the United Nations itself, is known as United Nations Day. A day “devoted to making known to peoples of the world the aims and achievements of the United Nations Organization.”
Some of the “achievements” of this illustrious organization include the Oil-For-Food scandal and it’s Child Sex Scandal. None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice, including Kofi Annan’s son for his role in bilking millions through the Oil-For-Food scandal.
One of the United Nations’ goals was to rid the world of war. Since it’s inceptions at least 150 wars have broken out, the majority in developing countries, some wars lasting over a decade.
Where’s the U.N. seems more like Where’s Waldo? when you read the following:
- Failure to prevent the 1994 Rwandan genocide, which resulted in the killings of nearly a million people, due to the refusal of security council members to approve any military action.[23]
- Failure by MONUC (UNSC Resolution 1291) to effectively intervene during the Second Congo War, which claimed nearly five million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), 1998-2002, and in carrying out and distributing humanitarian aid.
- Failure to intervene in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre: despite the fact that the UN designated Srebrenica a “safe haven” for refugees and assigned 600 Dutch peacekeepers to protect it, the peacekeeping force was not authorized to use force.
- Failure to successfully deliver food to starving people in Somalia; the food was instead usually seized by local warlords. A U.S./UN attempt to apprehend the warlords seizing these shipments resulted in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu.
- Failure to implement the provisions of UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701 calling for disarmament of Lebanese paramilitary groups such as Fatah and Hezbollah.
- UN ambulance caught on tape transporting armed Palestinians forces in 1994.[24][25][26]
- Allegations of sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers during UN peacekeeping missions in Congo [27], Haiti [28], Liberia[29], and Sudan.[30]
- Where were they when Mugabe expunged all white farmers from Zimbabwe, and caused a famine that threatens to kill 8 million?
The U.N. bilks millions from the US Taxpayer in the form of membership dues, which in turn, continues to fund a brazen path of death and destruction at the hands of corrupt tin-pot dictators with a resume of human rights abuses that make even Joseph Stalin look like an amateur.
It’s time for the politicians and bureaucratic trolls in Washington, D.C. to resign from the United Nations and to evict them from the UN headquarters in New York, NY. The realization that the United Nations is and will continue to be a drain on the United States financially and polictically, cannot come too soon for Americans.
United Nations Day is unworthy of remembrance.
