America is ‘stingy.’ Boy I love that one. What the globalists mean is, we use a percentage of GDP to determine what you should give to the United Nations. That’s fine, except, US GDP when we are not in a recession, would mean we would be sending the UN hundreds of millions more than any other nation on the planet, only to have UN officials condemn us for anything & everything under the sun.
“Bush” (that dreaded man who more than doubled AIDS funding in Africa over ANY other US President), initially committed one hundred million to the tsunami aid victims. Bush said then, this is but the beginning. We need to evaluate & then will adjust that amount accordingly. And, he did! Obama did the exact same thing for Haiti, so lets stop w/ the Bush hate crap that matches the America hate crap.
Americans do not want to ‘give to the UN’ for them to decide who, what, where, when, why, how & even if some nation gets aid. We want to send money as directly as possible to those in need, since when we do this, money &/or aid actually gets to the people in need.
The UN & many affiliated NGO’s always seem to skim much off the top of every dollar. Why? To subsidize their operations & the henchmen who run those globalist operations.
No thanks.
The UN has a tremendous history of corruption. One poster said, so does America. Yep! However, when we catch em in America, we prosecute the h*** out of em. UN violators of a multitude of crimes, rarely, if ever get prosecuted & worse, the US pays for the UN to defend the criminal.
America’s operations have their faults. But those at the UN are systemic & that corruption is so ingrained that no amount of oversight &/or reform will ever fix it.
The UN bites the hand that feeds it. The UN wants to develop a lucrative income stream, so they get money directly & then they will not have to answer to any member nation.
Imagine the UN with no one to answer to!
The Un does not reveal its operations or its financial dealings. What it does reveal, is so convoluted & limited, that no human on the planet could ever figure out what happened to the money!
No thanks.
The UN has outlived its usefulness. America needs to establish a new global union that is operated by democracies & those interested in allowing nations to become self governing & self sufficient. As w/ all socialist style organizations, the UN wants those they aid, to always depend on them & to accept all sorts of attached strings limiting future national events to what the UN grants permission for a nation to do.
This subject could be reviewed in hundreds of pages, so I’ll end here.
Forget the UN.
