The U.N.’s Long History of Failure - The “cockpit in the tower of Babel.”
Front Page Magazine ^ | February 7, 2024 | Bruce Thornton

No one should be shocked or surprised by the news that some United Nations Relief Works Agency staff directly participated in the heinous savagery of Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.

According to Israeli intelligence, AJC reports, “six UNRWA workers were part of the wave of terrorists who breached the Gaza-Israel border and massacred civilians inside of Israel. Additionally, two helped to kidnap Israelis, two others were tracked to sites where hundreds of Israeli civilians were shot and killed. Others coordinated logistics for the assault, including procuring weapons.” Seven were identified as primary school teachers, and one is a Hamas commander.

By the way, U.S. taxpayers finance a third of the UNRWA’s budget, including paying for schools where terrorist sympathizers indoctrinate half a million students with murderous hatred for Jews. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres implied that those staffers were just a few bad apples, but Israeli intelligence estimates that 10% of UNRWA’s 12,000 employees have links to Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

Again, no surprise there. Ever since its birth, the UN has been rife with corruption, politicization, and failure. Until we start making this “cockpit in the tower of Babel” ––as Churchill in 1946 presciently warned that the most important institution of the “new world order” might become–– accountable to U.S. taxpayers, our national interests and security will remain hostages to those of other nations, many of whom are sworn enemies of the free world.

That failure should have been predictable from the start, given the sorry record of its precursor, the League of Nations, which included future aggressors like Germany, Japan, and Italy as signatories. The UN repeated the same incoherence that compromised the League. The Versailles settlement had enshrined the sovereign, self-governing nation as the universal political order, but at the same time created a...

The answer is a League of Democracies with the US, GB, and Australia calling the shots-English speakers. The US has the final say. Have nothing to do with anyone that strays from those ideals that promote anything but freedom. Problem solved.

I can’t argue against the original intent of the UN. All of the world’s nations come together to peacefully discuss issues of importance.

But the UN has grown into a multi-headed monster. UN agencies pursue their own private goals while sucking up membership dues like a vacuum cleaner.

Get rid of every last UN agency. Or get the US out of the UN. It’s just that simple.

The EU Parliament at Strasbourg is the cockpit of Babel.

They even designed it to look like the Bruegel painting.

Could well be - IMHO the Antichrist arises from Europe - However, time will tell

[They even designed it to look like the Bruegel painting.]

That is correct.

One interesting detail. The unfinished part of the tower in the Bruegel painting faces East.

The unfinished part of the EU tower, and the “Many Tongues” poster faces West.

The building design was approved in 1991, before the Eastern European countries were incorporated into the EU, so an East-facing design, like the painting would have been the natural choice.

But that is not what they did.

Hmmm...well it may just be how they had to place the building, even for aesthetics

Still-——it’s a NEW Tower of Babel

And rather in-your-face about it, too

I have always believed that the Antichrist arises from Europe

For a couple of reasons - but again, time will tell - some believe he must come from Israel - in order to fool them into believing he’s “the messiah” - he may well appear to be Jewish.

Time will tell.
