The UN helps to spread the wealth around to the elites.

Though I think they did a good job on polio until the muzzies got involved.

Belated welcome. A brief excerpt on the UN’s origins.

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

This comes from the same book that contains the 45 Communist Goals for the USA, entered into the Congressional Record of 1963 (the book itself is from 1958,a and the list of goals is from Chapter 12). Goal #11 states the following:

Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other, as they are now doing in the Congo.) …

This was the attempt by Hiss and others to have the USSR writ large over all of the UN’s member states. It was perverse from its outset. The European Union declares in its Treaty on European Union (Article 3 Section 5):

In its relations with the wider world, the (European) Union shall uphold and promote its values and interests and contribute to the protection of its citizens. It shall contribute to peace, security, the sustainable development of the Earth, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights, in particular the rights of the child, as well as to the strict observance and the development of international law, including respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter. …

The EU regards this as a springboard for one-world government in particular.

Just One of Several Speeches Mentioning New World Order

“... we have before us, the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and future generations, a new world order ... when we are successful, *and we will be*, we have a real chance at this new world order ... a credible United Nations ... to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders”

The UN is... UNsuccessful

[Jack Hammer]

Then poor UN - they don’t get no respect.

Promoted as a venue for preventing conflict, it’s become an organization that promotes only ignorance, stupidity, tyranny, and terrorism.
