November 5, 2018 (American Thinker) In the 1960s, an informed but naïve undergraduate, I was walking across the campus of the University of Pennsylvania with the Chairman of the Chemistry Department, Prof. Charles C. Price. He told me that he was president of the United World Federalists, and asked if I knew what that organization was. When I said that I did not, he replied that they believed in a one-world government that would grow out of the United Nations. I was nonplussed as I had never heard anyone suggest that idea before. To me, the United Nations was a benevolent organization dedicated to pressuring the world community in the direction of peace, and to operating charitable programs to help the struggling, impoverished peoples of the world. I imagined the UN as a kind of United Way on a worldwide scale.
How would Prof. Price's vision of a new world government emerge? Although there was a socialistic thread in its founding document, the United Nations was formed based on a vision of human rights presented in the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (UDHR) which placed the concept of rights at the forefront for the progress of the world body. And rights are the mainstay for uplifting human freedom and the dignity of the individual. The UDHR document followed many amazing documents that presented rights as the central concept of the post-feudal world: the English Declaration (or Bill) of Rights of 1689, the U.S. Declaration of Independence with its important and forceful assertion of inalienable natural rights, the powerful U.S. Bill of Rights enacted in 1791, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789).
The word "rights" appears in almost every sentence of the 1869-word UN document. The document is literally obsessed with rights, and one must assume they are likewise obsessed with the rights successes as manifested in the United Kingdom, the U.S., and France. However, there are some deviations from the rights usage we are all familiar with. In Article 3, Instead of the inalienable rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" found in our Declaration of Independence, the UN declares everyone's right to "life, liberty and security of person." Are they implying that security will bring happiness? Or are they implying that happiness is too ephemeral a value, and too Western? Perhaps more mundane survival goals are needed by most of the world.
USSR on Steroids World Wide ,will they invade if you refuse their Government
And the Democrats along with a few Rhino’s are fighting like hell to give them their way!
Funny, most of us want that pile of talking feces out of the US in way less than one year.
If Jesus returns for His Church, the UN will probably have their way shortly thereafter. Now is the day of the Salvation. http://www.patburt.com/

If common rapture theology is right, it could happen — or something even more grandiose than the UN as we know it.
People in hell want ice water.

Simply because people are to lazy to match the people they vote for against the issues at hand.
I want the UN out of the US in less than twelve years.
By supporting Bush inc. ?
Proving that the U.N. has failed.
This UN was imagined to be such a noble idea, but in practice it’s getting bigger than its britches, plus it’s been a home to all manner of clownery.
It’s been tolerated since, as terrible as it is, not having it has been viewed as even worse.
Maybe some kind of transnational church ministry could pick up where things like UNICEF were.
If they got it, they’d hurl it back in your face
In a dozen years Brexit will be complete and chances are good the EU will lose a few more members as well.
For that matter GERexit maybe around the corner and if that happens the EU dissolves faster than the USSR did. Merkel’s open boarders/create “nogo zones” has REALLY galvanized the German right.
I would bet that the average world citizen cannot name ONE thing the U.N. has ever done in its entire existence.
I can’t.
