Debt and Geithner’s loose lips prompt UN to advance power grab; Ki-moon wants $1 trillion bailout

The UN's opulent headquarters would fetch a good price on the real estate market.UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon wants $1 trillion for “developing countries to….weather the financial crisis.” And a UN panel of economic experts—no one has disclosed the names of all the panelists—wants to abandon the dollar and come up with a new global currency reserve system.

Pop media and the UN will be the death of America if we do not speak up. Now that US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s loose lips about the dollar have bounced around the world, the UN has its eye on every bank account in the world.

A failed United Nations should downsize; little return for American taxpayers

The UN building in New York should be sold, and the entire organization needs downsizing.(Washington, DC)—In early March, UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon called the U.S. a “deadbeat” donor, saying the UN’s largest donor, supplying 22 percent of the $4.86 billion operating budget, is $1 billion in arrears. Now some things the federal government does make you wonder if high I.Q.s and Ivy League degrees are good for the country. But in the case of the UN, supplying 22 percent of that budget is akin to madness. There’s a recession on in the US and the Obama administration has already come up with enough spending and borrowing to lock our offspring in step with China for generations to come.

Why exactly does the US foot that kind of bill for an organization comprising 192 member states? I looked for a breakdown of top dues payers, and I was further astonished by what I found.

Adding insult to injury, UN Chief Ban Ki-moon, in a private meeting with lawmakers in Washington, says we’re ‘deadbeats.’

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) speaks at a ceremony at Tinker Air Force base in Okalahoma City. Inhofe tried to prevent the UN from pursuing taxes on U.S. citizens. Democrats refused to support his efforts.(Washington, D.C.)—While media obsessed about Rush Limbaugh and Congress obsessed about how much pork could be stuffed down the throats of U.S. taxpayers, Democrats in Congress paved the way for the United Nations to use U.S. funds from appropriations bills to pursue global tax schemes. GOP stalwart Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) seemed astonished when a preventive amendment he introduced to the Omnibus Appropriations bill failed by a 43-51 vote. This wasn’t an unusual amendment.

Inhofe’s announcement said, “This provision has appeared in every annual appropriations bill since 1996, and this year marks the first time an annual appropriations bill will not contain this policy.” Will taxpayers soon see a new line item whereby we owe the UN on top of the new administration's planned tax increases?
