US Should Not Only Defund UN But Withdraw From It
FrontPage Magazine ^ | December 26, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Let’s take our $3 billion and go.

The United States pays 22% of the total UN budget. What we get for our $3 billion a year is a corrupt organization whose dysfunctional and hostile agencies are united in opposing us around the world.

The United Nations does only two things consistently and effectively: waste money and bash Israel. Sometimes it manages to do both at the same time.

...

The Jewish State is the UN’s scapegoat for anything and everything. The Palestinian Authority blamed Israel at the UN for Global Warming.

...

Here’s what we get for our $3 billion.

UNRWA schools are turning out students who want to fight for ISIS. The UN’s email system has been used to distribute child pornography. UN staff members have smuggled drugs, attacked each other with knives and pool cues, not to mention a tractor. This month the UN marked Anti-Corruption Day despite refusing to fight its own corruption. The former President of the UN General Assembly was arrested on bribery charges last year. He had also headed UNICEF’s executive board. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is battling accusations of bribery.

Some of this might be defensible if the UN did anything useful. It doesn’t. It’s just a slush fund for redistributing our money to a vast UN bureaucracy and anyone willing to bribe it for benefits.

...

These days, the United Nations is a forum for Islamist powers and the rotting remains of the Communist front to continue its war against the free world while seducing weak-minded nations into going along.

We are not making the world a better place by being members of this anti-American organization which vacillates between being evil and useless.

Paul Ryan is IN CHARGE IF FUNDING the UN. So stop the funding. And that 20 trillion debt?...all of it got a signature ok from the Republican House. Obama proposed it, the Republicans (RINOs) blessed the spending by passing funding for every dime if it.

Good point.

Can you just imagine all of the big money arrayed against taking us out of the UN? There are far too many gravy trains fueled by our continuing to host that grotesque body in NYC.

Yes, it is now an organization for the total redistribution of world wealth except for the Elites such as Soros. The plan is to redistribute to the point the servile masses of the US are living at a subsistence level of the Somalis. Once we are all living on $3.00/day or less, the plan is those of us still able to walk to kowtow to our superiors and work they submit us to.

Slightly SARC! Not much though as the more I read about the Globalists and the UN the clearer it all becomes.

Yep, that one right there.

Seize the building and re-purpose it as a United States Veterans center.

ESSENTIALLY defund but continue to make TOKEN contributions (very small) -— and stay in so we can USE OUR VETO POWER to cripple the anti-American, anti-Western civilization UN.

After taking this action, Trump should then move the UN to Elko, Nevada, for security reasons.

I’ve advocated that for over twenty years. U.S. out of U.N.; U.N. out of U.S., NOW! Send them packing to Brussels, Paris or Beijing.

The U.N. should be relocated to an appropriate third-world hell-hole such as Dhaka, Bangladesh, Lagos, Nigeria, or Harare, Zimbabwe so they can fully experience the consequences, intended and unintended, of their decisions.

As with most things, there’s a very simple solution. I haven’t read all the comments/responses to the article, but I’d be willing to bet that the majority call for it being booted out of the US, withdrawing all funding or both.

Kick it out of the country. Send it to, The Hague. That’s where all sorts of ‘so called’ international something or other is, it seems only fair that the UN should be there as well. And it’s a lot closer to all their socialist and communist Shangri-La’s. Right there in the middle of the epicenter of the muslim invasion of Europe. All the UN folks will be right there, to see firsthand, all the destruction that these freedom seekers bring, so they can better understand it.

Oh wait, that is exactly why they want it in NYC. The security, living on the Upper East Side, the restaurants, Broadway, etc etc. While people in some of those countries are eating cow shit for dinner, their UN reps are riding around NYC, living it up.

Perhaps, when it was founded, countries abilities to communicate with the rest of the world wasn’t anything close to what it is today. I’m sure that when they laid the first brick, no one knew there would be Skype, the ability to fly anywhere in the world whenever you want, email, Facebook, being able to talk to someone in space.

The UN, much like the US Dept of State, are relics of the past that should be put to bed.

Exactly. Obama wants to provoke our departure so he can worm his way into Sec. General and play Mahdi. Who knows, he may be their Devil Child.
