It’s not that they WANT the poor to starve. It’s just that they want the bottom 90% to go away.

“Don’t kid yourself. The elite really think that way.”

Some really do. Effective satire always points to a truth.

I didn’t know the UN produced satire.

Naw, this was real. It sounds like something Stalin would say.

The United Nations awaits Satan’s anti-messiah.

You can bet on it.

They as much advertised for him to fill the job several years ago.

(Satire? You be the judge.)

The godless United Nations is, by design, a Globalist beast seeking power it does not deserve nor have the character to run.

It is a pipe dream of godless fools who are making it possible for Daniel 7:23 to be fulfilled.

The U.N. squandered whatever legitimacy they may have originally had years ago They are now totally inept living on the back of the U.S. taxpayer.
