Your U.N. at Work – IV

The General Assembly of the United Nations voted this week to elect Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann as its new president. Readers with a long memory will recall Father D'Escoto (he's a Catholic priest) as Nicaragua's foreign minister during the Sandinista regime of the 1980s. He's also the winner of the 1985 Lenin Prize. Only at the U.N. does that count as a recommendation.continued

The UN is a Satanic and Evil Enemy of America.

If you're a thug of the leftist and Islamist persuasion, you're highly regarded at the UN. Westerners need not apply.

The U.N. also voted to name the government of Burma which otherwise has been busy preventing humanitarian assistance from reaching hundreds of thousands of its own needy victims of last month's devastating cyclone as one of the Assembly's vice presidents. Only at the U.N. is this not considered an embarrassment.

I was reading some people who are pro-Obama on the web and many believe that America needs to elect Obama in order to counter their perception of us as racists and as unconcerned with the delicate sensibilities of 'the rest of the world' is what a star from the 'iron man' movie was trying to say. (Stomach this if you can), ""I don't feel there's any lip service with [Obama]. I don't feel like he's one of those jaded politicos who say one thing and are talking out of both sides of their mouth. I also feel we've done such damage to our reputation - and as someone who lives outside America for half the year, I overhear things that I wish I didn't overhear. A lot of people in the West think that we're not very sensitive to the rest of the world, and I think that having a president called Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 says that we are part of the world, and we don't want to make unilateral decisions about the fate of all of us. I just pray to God that he wins." "

I believe he espouses the left-wing Liberation Theology. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Why does the name Liberation Theology ring a bell? The same as obamassiah's?

[processing please hold]

We’re thinking along the same lines.

If that weren't enough, a U.S. official was present for the vote - which was by acclamation - when the U.S. could have at least protested the choice with an empty seat. Nor did the State Department make any effort to offer an alternative to Father d'Escoto, who ran unopposed. Somehow, we don't think this would have happened had John Bolton still been ambassador.continued

Global Transformation or The New World Order. Who's says we aren't giving our country away piece by piece. What are leaving for our children and grandchildren to cherish and protect?

Most people think the U.S. 'contribution' to the U.N. amounts to a couple billion dollars a year. But Senator Tom Coburn has documented that the U.S. funded portion of an annual U.N. budget of $15-$20 billion amounts to between 25 and 30 percent. Under Bush, funding for the U.N. system has grown from $3.1 billion in 2001 to $5.3 billion in 2005.

http://www.aim.org/aim_column/5275_0_3_0/%20U.S.

U.S. contributions to the U.N. system are over $5.3 billion OMB, for the first time ever, reveals how much the taxpayers fund the U.N. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a report yesterday to Dr. Coburn on contributions of U.S. taxpayers to the United Nations. Before this report, no one in the federal government had ever developed a public compilation of the total U.S. contributions, including non-monetary, to the entire U.N. system.

According to the report, in 2005, the United States gave $5.3 billion to the U.N - a 30% increase from 2004 funding level of $4.1 billion. Almost every Department of the U.S. government plus several independent agencies fund the U.N. Although the U.N. does not track this information or at least does not make such information public, most experts say the total U.N. budget is between $15-20 billion.

You are correct. From Wikipedia:

"As an adherent of liberation theology, he secretly joined the Sandinistas.
He first publicly expressed support for the FSLN as one of Los Doce, in October 1977, and was appointed foreign minister after the Sandinista triumph in 1979. He served as foreign minister in Daniel Ortega's FSLN government from 1979 to 1990.[5] Pope John Paul II admonished him and other priests in the government for getting involved in politics."

I heard he was unopposed. Made me want to spit.

You're very welcome. As you can tell by my home page, I consider the un as a destroyer of our great country. And our politicians are playing right along with them to erase our sovereignty. Now with Miguel d'Escoto, as the new president, I'm even more convinced of it. The more a person hates the US, the higher they go up the ladder in the un.

[MaxMax]

Obama might qualify, Clinton was to whitey..

I thought so, thank you. The US is entering a perfect storm scenario with d’Escoto at the un and obamassiah wanting to be president. They make the perfect hate America - love the un team.

from the editorial; continued
Speaking after his election, Father d'Escoto called for greater 'democracy' at the U.N. - an odd remark coming from a former servant of a communist dictatorship. He also called for the U.N. to take a stand against 'acts of aggression, such as those occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan.' That would be American aggression, not the Taliban's, the Mahdi Army's or al Qaeda's.

A former Lenin Prize winner as General Assembly president and cruel Burma as vice president - another sick joke from the U.N. continued

I couldn't agree more.

Have you seen the new proposed un budget for '08-'09?

This'll curl your hair.

The stalled mandate review effort has not stopped member states from proposing and endorsing an enormous increase in the U.N. regular budget for the upcoming 2008/2009 biennium. The secretary-general has proposed an initial budget of $4.19 billion for core U.N. operations funded by the regular budget. It does not include the budgets of U.N. funds and programs like UNICEF and the World Health Organization. Nor does it include the cost of U.N. peacekeeping, which is projected to see a sharp increase from $5 billion in 2007 to $7 billion in 2008.

At first blush, the $4.19 billion budget seems to be a modest increase of $20 million over the final, revised 2006/2007 biennial budget of $4.17 billion. A more appropriate comparison would be with the $3.8 billion budget initially approved for the 2006/2007 biennium, which translates to a 10.3 percent increase. In fact, the U.N. regular budget has increased by an average of 17 percent annually over the past five years and has increased by 193 percent since the 1998/1999 biennial budget, according to data provided by the U.S. Mission to the U.N..[2]

By may math, 4.19 BILLION + 7 BILLION = 11.19 BILLION. And that's still not all we're going to pay for, just some of it.

Here's the complete article Proposed un Budget for '08-'09

You will be outraged.

Is the un supporting obama?

UNWE BELIEVE

I found this while looking into an NGO called OneWorld and trying to find out if it was the same communist one world that's always protesting us.

Times Newspapers June 4, 2008 Leaders at UN Food Summit Tone Down Menu over Fears of Hypocrisy
	Six years ago, at another Food and Agriculture Organisation summit in Rome, The Times got hold of the menu for the sumptuous opening day lunch. Its publication caused a scandal. The 2002 summit had set itself the target of halving the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. It began by feeding the heads of state lobster and foie gras and letting them wash it all down with an array of fine wines. Of the world's wealthier nations, only Italy, the host, and Spain, the holder of the EU presidency, sent heads of state or government. The British sent Alun Michael, then Minister for Rural Affairs. By contrast, dozens of presidents, prime ministers and even monarchs arrived from the developing world. They included President Mbeki of South Africa and, of course, Robert Mugabe.

Perhaps mindful of accusations of hypocrisy levelled at them six years ago, world leaders tightened their belts this year and were offered a far more modest menu of pasta, mozzarella, spinach and sweetcorn at the equivalent fixture. " It does not look good if leaders discussing global starvation are seen to be dining lavishly," an FAO official said. "At the last summit in 2002 we did not give enough thought to the menu and were open - unfairly, in our view - to the charge of hypocrisy." 2002 Menu Foie gras and toast with kiwi fruit Lobster in vinaigrette Fillet of goose with olives Seasonal vegetables Compote of fruit with vanilla Vins multiple fine wines 2008 Menu Vol au vent with sweetcorn and mozzarella Pasta with cream of pumpkin and shrimps Veal olives with cherry tomatoes and basil Fruit salad with vanilla ice cream Vin Orvieto Classico Poggio Calvelli 2005
