Five things most Americans probably don't know about the UN – but should.

If President Obama is a citizen of the world, then who's looking out for the USA? The UN Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict refuses to publish the submissions that contradict its findings. The report of the Goldstone Fact-Finding Mission has serious defects that need to be corrected before it can be treated seriously by the public or the UN Human Rights Commission. Every year since 1992, the Chinese on Taiwan have petitioned for UN membership and their request has been denied. Similarly, the UN has singled out Israel for more criticism than any other nation. The American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists sponsored a weeklong conference at Fordham University Law School to counter the UN's Durban II Review Conference. Appointing Richard Falk to investigate human rights abuses in Israel is like appointing Michael Vick to investigate animal cruelty or putting Ted Bundy in charge of a private girls' school. A case can be made that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should be brought before the International Court of Justice for the crime of incitement to genocide. The US Congress proposes to gift the United Nations with $50 trillion in Arctic oil taxes. IC contributing editor, conservative leader and writer Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation foreign policy analyst, said last night that the United States needs to act with great urgency to secure its southern border with Mexico if it hopes to protect the nation's security interests and begin reversing the many economic [...]
It amazes me that Barack Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for more than a decade, would be unaware of the legal controversy surrounding Nuremberg and the commotion it caused within the U.S. Supreme Court. If Obama taught the U.S. Constitution to his students the same way the [...] George Handlery on the week that was. A Maserati owner collecting welfare, Putin as Prime Minister, the latest round of complaints from countries to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. Why does Israel continue to subject itself to consistent condemnations from the UN, when it receives nothing in return except the clear message that it is not wanted. A report from Sunday's conference, "Hijacking Human Rights: The Demonization of Israel by the United Nations." All of the exclusive alliances, spheres of influence, balances of power and all other expedients which occurred and failed for centuries outside of a universal organization have now occurred and failed this century inside the UN. Unlike the UN, the Liberty Alliance will be composed of free nations dedicated to expanding human liberty to peoples yet free, [...] North Carolina is the first state to issue a driver's license with a hologram of North America. A world government, be its center at the banks of the Potomac or the East River, with the capacity to give you all you want, will also have the capacity to take it all away. Meet Carlos X. Carrillo, national disgrace. The country with the most stake in the Arctic is Canada, particularly as oil resources become more scarce. Will Canada be able to kick the U.S. out of what it considers its "territorial waters?" Jerome Corsi has documented the ongoing movement to create an EU-style North American Union. In America, as well as in Virginia and most states, resident aliens are treated just like citizens. John Shattuck, Nancy Soderberg, Iqbal Riza, Gillian Sorensen, and James Traub gathered recently at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to lavish praise on Kofi Annan, and heap scorn upon John Bolton. In Nations United Alex Grobman presents his case on why the United Nations has failed to properly deal with the Arab/Israeli conflict, and why it has failed to meet its stated purpose. George W. Bush might be accused of excessive idealism, incompetence, perhaps even criminal negligence. But he cannot be accused of doing nothing in the face of Saddam’s ongoing brutality, defiance of UN resolutions and horrific human rights record. To James Baker and Lee Hamilton, borders and discrimination based upon the geography of a man's birthplace appears to be the most irrational of ratiocinations possible. Modern mass production with interchangeable parts was a good idea in the automobile industry a century ago. But is it a good idea to homogenize national cultures? |
