I am curious about the financial records of the United Nations. I went into their website and could not find where the money flows and where it comes from. The only thing I could find was that before President Clinton left office he and Holbrooke pleaded to the Congress to give the UN almost a billion dollars and to support the UN budget (22%) for the life of the UN plus additional "volunteer" support (in the millions) for several other of their organizations. However, to find an exact dollar amount is very unclear. Maybe I'm wrong but our government is supposed to be transparent. How can we allow billion's of American dollars (yours and mine) to go to an organization which does not publish their financial records. Maybe we need a 527 group to keep the UN transparent or keep the billions and balance our own budget. Also, I heard that the UN is demanding our bill to the World Court be paid, does anyone know about this? Thanks....
It is bizarre that what ever the left accuses normal, freedom loving people, of doing, is what the left is scheming to accomplish themselves.
I guess that if the left had any practical intelligence; first they would not be promoting such institutions as the United Nations, dictators, and fascists as superior to the United States .
Second, they would be able to see that what they had in common with these colleague is the desire to dominate everyone else. They have not idea, just as their fearless leaders such as John Kerry, what true freedom is, all they know is their own undisciplined, all consuming ‘I ‘.
How many times do we have to prove that the UN is useless... It should be disbanded ....
I also suspect that Volcker's job is essentially to cover things up.
There was an accounting firm that was looking into things in Iraq, working with the interim Iraqi government, but they were shoved out and replaced by this new commission.
I wish Bush would take control of these things, instead of letting the Usual Suspects cover up their corruption. It's not as if we have anything to lose by offending Chirac or Schroeder.
The left uses the old communist trick of accusing the right of what the left is doing when the right is not doing it.
They have been doing it for over 4 decades that I know of.
So much for the UN's ability to investigate themselves. Gee, who'd a thunk? I was sure everyone would be completely honest and straight forward about all this. (/s)
Was she reassigned to the 9/11 Commission?
Great minds.... I was going to comment that at least she has more integrity than Gorelick. ;o)
I'll tell you why in one word "Democrats".
Thank goodness for my pajamas..LOL!
Talking about major scandals, has anybody noticed that the U.S. Government is investigating Fannie Mae? The New York Times, that paradigm of fair and balanced coverage, has reported, yesterday and today, about a major scandal breweing in Fannie Mae. It appears that this agency is under investigation for "accounting irregularities". But guess what? The accounting irregularities were concocted to allow a bunch of executives to collect bonuses based on 'performance'! So profits were boosted to allow the executives to skim their huge salaries and bonuses without the public being aware. And guess who some of the executives involved are? You guessed it! Most are Democratic party operatives such as James A. Johnson, who was Chairman and chief executive and who received, in 1998 only, $ 966.000 in salary and $ 1,932,000 IN BONUSES.
Franklin Raines, who was also Chairman and Chief Executive designate received a salary of $ 526,154 and a bonus of $ 1,109,589. But the most conspicuous member of this gang is none other than the 'belle' of the 9/11 Commission, the ONE AND ONLY Jamie Gorelick!, a Janet Reno assistant who got to participate in this scam as Vice Chairman, and was able to draw $ 567,000 in salary and $ 779,625 in bonuses! There are other individuals such as Lawrence M. Small, who received almost $ 2,000,000, J. Timothy Howard, $ 800,000m and Robert J. Levin, who as executive vice president of this racket got almost $ 890,000!!! Unbelievably, I have read this in the BUSINESS DAY section of The New York Times, but my feeling is that this was reported in this sparsely read section Friday and Saturday, so that the average schmo (like me, for example) doesn't get a chance to see what's going on!
MY TRUE BELIEF IS THAT WE ARE BEING SKINNED ALIVE! THIS HAPPENED DURING THE CLINTON YEARS AND HIS CRONIES ARE STILL 'IN THE POMADE', AS SOME OF US IN THE PROLETARIAT ARE WONT TO SAY TODAY!
Can anyone investigate this further?

Hmmmm? FOX ran an hour long special just last week .. where were you ..??
Ping.
Spying and stonewalling, I suspect.
I prefer this quote:
"who needs the U.N. to destroy culture, personal freedom, respect for other human beings, integrity, and the rule of law."
True.
how in the hell did someone like this get onto the body investigating oil for food? shocking.
More about Anna, from http://www.osce.org/features/show_feature_pr.php?id=94
(sounds like she could get a job at CBS):
"Like every post-communist society, Kosovo has to face a difficult transition period. But it is now, with the international administration acting as a guarantee for democratization and development, that journalism has a special role to play", states Anna Di Lellio, Kosovo Temporary Media Commissioner.
"It is not only the task of the media to inform people correctly and accurately, but also to educate readers, viewers and listeners. In developed countries media holds power. Media is often called the fourth estate of a society, alongside the legislative, the executive and the judicial", she adds.
One incident maybe, but there are plenty where this B**** came from. It's like cockroaches, if you see one, you know there are a hundred hiding somewhere. Time to fumigate the U.N. Or stop the money flow. Just like we are trying to do to the military side of the terrorists thugs.
