Annan to address US public in nationally broadcast Town Hall meeting

9 October – Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, will address the United States public on 11 October - one month to the day after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington D.C. - during a Town Hall meeting that will be broadcast nationwide.

Moderated by Walter Cronkite, the event will enable Mr. Annan to engage the US public in a conversation by reaching out to their communities. Via satellite from the UN in New York, the Secretary-General will detail how the UN can support the global effort against terrorism. After his address, he will take questions from people gathered in ten cities - Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Seattle, St. Louis and Tampa.

Each individual city will host a panel of experts and a local moderator to facilitate ongoing discussion after the satellite portion of the broadcast concludes. The focus of the local meetings will be the impact of the terrorist attacks on the United States and the world. Some of the moderators include NBC's Bob Costas in St. Louis, former Colorado Senator Tim Wirth in Boston, and the National President of the League of Women Voters, Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins, in Denver. The invitation only audience will be comprised of business and civic leaders, elected officials, youth, community leaders and clergy.

The Town Hall meeting is being produced by The Better World Campaign, a project of the Better World Fund, a sister organization to the United Nations Foundation. The Fund was created from a portion of an initial gift of $1 billion from American philanthropist and businessman Ted Turner. The organization is a bi-partisan, non-profit education and outreach initiative that aims to enhance awareness and appreciation for the work of the UN and the role it plays in international affairs.

Personally, I think this is only greasing the skids for the Anti-Christ. The boiling frog scenario... the UN first must get Joe Sixpack used to seeing their honcho on the tube and start to get Joe thinking of the GS as yet another of his "leaders". Then, bring on the AC.... ole' Joe won't be troubled by it at that point....777

"I see the email address of the UN at the top of your post... shouldn't that be ".gov" instead of '.org'? "

The un is a pretend organization, pretending to be a government. Thus the ".org" comes into play. It's 'governmental' impact on global peace can be seen in the Sudan and South Africa where the hatchet mutilations have been taking place for years.

Riding around in 'white' vehicles paid for by American taxpayers, UN pretender 'peacekeepers' ( armed to the teeth ) are only found where American and British troops wear the light blue symbol Michael New was court-martialed for refusing to wear.

The un is a rich man's game reaching for Hitler's fantasy - world domination.

Don't believe me? Ask Ted 'Citizen of the World' Turner, and the money changers he walks with.
