North Korea, Iraq and Iran are all members in good standing of the United Nations. So, too, are Syria and Saudi Arabia. In fact, of the 189 members you can create a roster of nations where human rights don’t exist and the threat to our national security and that of the world’s exists on a daily basis. For an organization created to maintain international peace and security, it has a dismal record of failure.
The one power that has steadfastly moved the world toward any stability has been the United States, and it has done so by committing its armed forces to suppress the evil ambitions of nations such as those named by the President and, previously, by holding firm against the ambitions of the former Soviet Union.
Soon the President will visit the nation that poses the single greatest threat to the United States, the People’s Republic of China. Diplomatically, it was not mentioned as part of the "axis", but it is no secret that China has been a major supplier of weapons of mass destruction to Iran and Iraq. It is closely allied with North Korea.
While the focus of the President’s speech was, understandably, the evil of Islamic jihad; the goal of millions of Muslims to impose their religion on the world, the continued failure to focus on the ever-growing threat of the United Nations is troubling to those who have watched it impose a vast matrix of international treaties, conventions and protocols upon the nations of the world. Each one is part of the UN’s openly expressed intention to become a centralized global government.
One can read the game plan in the report of the UN’s Commission on Global Governance entitled "Our Global Neighborhood." The world is being divided into regions where the sovereignty of individual governments is being subsumed in organizations such as the European Union. The EU just issued its own currency, eliminating those of France, German and Italy, among its members. It has its own court system and, presumably, soon its own military. Thereafter, it is a matter of time before this regionalization is imposed on Asian, African, and South American nations. In the process, the individuality of these nations will disappear, along with their ability to determine the welfare of their citizens.
Thus, while it is essential that the United States leads the fight against those nations that most clearly threaten our homeland, peace and progress for their own people and neighboring nations, the ultimate threat is posed by the United Nations.
Just one example of this is the UN’s High Level Panel of Financing Development that will meet in Monterey, Mexico, March 18 through 22. The Panel’s report, expected to be adopted, includes recommendations for a World Taxing Authority, global taxes on fossil fuels, global taxes on currency exchange, and the consolidation of all international finance and development agencies under UN authority. To put it another way, this is pure, boldfaced totalitarianism designed to seize control of all the money in the world!
When created, the UN’s finances were to be paid solely by member’s dues. The United States pays 22% of the entire operation of the United Nations and, in return, in October 2001, the United States lost its seat on the Human Rights Commission that it has held since 1947. Who replaced the United States? One of the seven nations the US has designated as a state sponsor of terrorism, Syria!
So, while I support the President’s objectives as regards his newly coined "axis of evil", I support the most important step the United States could take to rid itself of the greatest threat to our national sovereignty and that of every other nation in the world, withdrawal from the United Nations.
