Congress Moving to Cut U.S. Funding to U.N. in Wake of Anti-Israel Vote
Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 28, 2016 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 12/28/2016 5:29:22 PM PST by righttackle44

Congress is already setting the stage to cut off U.S. funding to the United Nations in the wake of a contested vote last week in which the Obama administration permitted an anti-Israel resolution to win overwhelming approval, according to congressional leaders, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the current administration is already plotting to take further action against the Jewish state before vacating office.

Other punitive actions by Congress could include expelling Palestinian diplomats from U.S. soil and scaling back ties with foreign nations that voted in favor of the controversial measure, according to multiple sources who spoke to the Free Beacon about the situation both on and off the record.

Indeed. Not just to get back at Obama, but it would throw a monkey wrench into his plans.

The UN is a great cancer. Time to send them a pink slip.

Congress needs to have something impressive ready to go on Jan 3 when it reconvenes.

Is it susceptible to veto?

Will we get 2/3 on both the house and senate?

Feels like more winning. Eff the UN. The US is nothing but a turd-world country club subsidized by the American taxpayer.

Our U.N. Ambassador had the power to veto the anti Israel resolution, instead Obama ordered him to abstain.

You know,Trump clearly signaled that he would repair relations with England when He got into office but they could have Vetoed the resolution and didn’t. They went with the traitor who really no longer had any hold on them. Trump should take a pound of flesh there somehow and he should let them know he is coming. That’s not right of the Brits! Obama hates the Brits and they know it. Why would they do what he wanted them to do?!

Sounds like there may have been sticks and carrots to “encourage” a unanimous vote. Sticks and carrots funded by US taxpayers.

The story will eventually come out, showing exactly how Obama’s illegal thug regime has used its “bully pulpit” - including massive slush funds at the expense of US taxpayers - to buy all kinds of immoral if not outright illegal activity from the bureaucracy and more here in the US and in the world. Fast & Furious, IRS-gate, Benghazi, Extortion 17, Chrysler-gate, planting Muslim Brotherhood regimes to replace our former allies in the war against Islamist terrorism.... those are all just dots in a great big picture that will become increasingly clear as more stories pop up and the “crazy conspiracists” are vindicated.

For instance, it would behoove us to find out how many false flag attacks were the “shit” that Scott Foval bragged about getting mentally ill people to do for them. Was Jared Laughner used by the Foval/Creamer machine to kill Judge John Roll before Roll could rule on the AZ Presidential Eligibility bill that was expected to pass? Sandy Hook? And exactly how did that group get mentally ill people to do their “shit” - which Foval called “diabolical”?

We need to dissect the crimes that have been committed and how the regime and its allies have been able to get so many people and agencies to cooperate, even engaging in criminal acts. We know the media was threatened. How the heck did Obama’s regime have the power to threaten even before Obama was elected? That story needs to be known so we make sure it NEVER happens again.

Egyptian leader Al-Sisi says they have evidence that Obama paid Egypt’s former Muslim Brotherhood (Islamist terrorist) - supported leader, Morsi, $8 billion to leave Egyptian land unprotected from Hamas operatives using that land to build tunnels into Israel, by which they could launch terrorist attacks on Israel. If so, that is Obama using US taxpayer money to commit terrorist acts of war against Israel.

How the HELL did Obama have $8 billion in slush funds to just use for whatever treasonous shit he wanted to do, while our troops couldn’t even be trained for war because we didn’t have enough BULLETS, or enough ARMOR or PROTECTIVE GEAR?????!!!!

And why the HELL hasn’t Israel blown the snot out of Obama’s head by now?

Obama has committed acts of war against Egypt, Israel, and all of Central America, at the very LEAST. Why is he not in Gitmo already? Why has the entire system winked at this lawless man? I suspect the answer, and it needs to be exposed. IMMEDIATELY.

Meddling in an election? Let’s get the whole regime deposed regarding its support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi in Egypt. They wanna talk “meddling in an election” - I’m sure a LOT of Egyptians would be happy to expose what real meddling in an election looks like...

Come to think of it, didn’t Obama meddle in Israel’s election also - trying to get rid of Netanyahu?

They want to talk “meddling in elections”? I say let’s get down and dirty and find out who REALLY meddled in foreign elections.

And how about we talk about Honduras too?

And Kenya...

Heck, let’s just open this can of worms up wide, and make Obama regret he ever brought up the subject of “meddling in elections”!

Let’s get some punitive action where it REALLY belongs, beginning on January 21st, when Obama is thrown in Gitmo where he belongs!

Maybe the Islamists who made the electronic run on the bank in September of 2008 threatened Britain and Merkel (for instance) just like they (IMHO) threatened the entire US government with the collapse of the world economy if the Islamists didn’t get their way (such as putting Obama illegally into office even though he is ineligible)...

European leaders (especially Merkel) are acting suicidal, even when their people are loudly objecting. Could it be that the Islamists have an economic bomb pointed at these countries and have told the leaders they will detonate unless the leaders do as they are told?

We REALLY need to understand what happened in September of 2008. And we REALLY need to know who owns Obama and his entire regime. I think things would become crystal clear if those things were exposed.
