“The United Nations ”
by Prophecy New Watch
September 9th, 2014

Most people are naturally inclined to think of the United Nations (UN) as a body committed to supervising or coordinating world peace. Few in the United States would imagine that there is any reason to view the UN otherwise, or even as a threat to their freedoms, peace, opportunities, the American way of life and the pursuit of the “American dream”. There are however, schools of thought that suggest that, if you take a closer look, you will see the UN as more of a threat than a friend to “we the people”, as well as the rest of what is commonly referred to as the “free world”.

Jean Warrick, in an opinion piece for the Shelby Star, explains why she feels that UN wishes are not shared by the American public in general. She explains that, despite the United Nations coming into existence in 1945 with 51 member nations with the goal to end war, many believe that its real mission was much more covert and sinister: to accomplish a One World Government. In addition, as an extension of that mission, the UN is said to currently be trying to have the U.S. ratify a number of treaties which would be devastating to U.S freedoms, and would terminate its sovereignty. The following list extracted from Warrick’s letter explains how:

1. The “Small Arms Treaty” would deprive Americans of their Second Amendment right to bear arms.

2. The UN’s “Law of the Sea Treaty” would give the UN control of U.S shores and all the resources (fish, oil, etc.) they contain. The Senate may ratify this treaty soon.

3. The “Convention on the Rights of the Child” will allow the UN to dictate how parents can raise, discipline and educate their children, and the Senate is considering ratification of this.

4. UN Agenda 21 would allow international environmentalists to take away U.S privately owned land if they believe it is needed for the “collective good” of open space in the global one-world community.

5. American citizens would be required to pay massive UN taxes. Since America funds 22 percent of the UN’s budget, as well as 26 percent of its “peace-keeping” actions, U.S tax dollars are being used for the demise of Israel and other causes which the majority of our citizens would not approve.

6. Other items on the UN agenda are redistribution of wealth between nations and within nations.

7. The UN is advocating for a world currency controlled by the UN.

8. The UN reportedly plans on de-population by abortion, sterilization, and age limits on care.

9. In the International Court, foreign laws would have precedence over American laws.

10. The UN is taking steps to create its own army which could consist partially of Americans and could impose the UN’s socialist agenda forcefully, pitting American against American at the UN’s command.

Warrick concludes: “…But then perhaps we have to ask if there is some overall diabolical plan, with many involved, to bring this nation to its knees and impose a New World Order. This is a shocking question to even contemplate, but perhaps it’s better to consider and question now than to regret later. We must remember that most Germans did not agree with Hitler’s insane agenda, but their collective silence allowed World War II and the Holocaust.”

The points provided regarding the risk of potential usurping of U.S laws and freedoms by the UN may be valid but debatable to the extent that more detail and clarity could not be provided within the letter. Nonetheless, Warrick’s views are by no means isolated; rather indications are that her views are shared by a broad spectrum of the American society. In one such example, Jim Galloway wrote last year in ajc.com (quoting Senate candidate Paul Broun):

“Sixty-eight years ago today a clandestine organization was born. It was the birthdate of the United Nations. And now, sixty-eight years later, our nation is in danger because of this very institution. The United Nations is threatening our everyday way of life, the freedoms and liberties we enjoy and the privacy our families deserve. I want to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. That's why one of the first bills I introduced this year in Congress was HR 75 to end all US participation in the United Nations.”

Although the U.N goals and strategies may threaten U.S freedoms in a more subtle manner or over the long term, the U.N approach to Israel has been much more direct and immediate. In an article published in UNwatch.org titled ‘UN, Israel & Anti-Semitism,’its author explains that: “ An alien observing the United Nations' debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls could well conclude that a principal purpose of the world body is to censure a tiny country called Israel… UN bias against Israel is overt in bodies such as the General Assembly, which each year passes some nineteen resolutions against Israel and none against most other member states, including the world's most repressive regimes…”

A recent New York Post article in the same vein states of the UN: “…This, after all, is the same organization whose General Assembly chastises Israel three times as often as all other countries combined; that has declared Palestinian terrorism to be a “legitimate” means of “fulfilling…one of the goals and purposes of the United Nations”; that once classified Zionism as a form of racism; and that has three special bodies devoted exclusively to agitating against Israel although no other such body exists for any other country…”

According to Wikipedia.com, “These decisions, adopted with the support of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) countries, invariably criticize Israel for its occupation and theft of Palestinian land and its continuous oppression of Palestinians. A number of observers have qualified this degree of criticism as excessive. For example, according to the UN Association of the UK, General Assembly resolutions in the period 1990–2003 show clear bias against Israel, with a great deal of explicit condemnation of violence against Palestinians but only occasional and vague discussion of violence against Israelis, including the use of suicide bombers. In addition, the UNHRC was criticized in 2007 for failing to condemn other alleged human rights abusers besides Israel.”

According to UN.org, the United Nations has four key purposes:

1.To keep peace throughout the world;

2.To develop friendly relations among nations;

3.To help nations work together to improve the lives of poor people, to conquer hunger, disease and illiteracy, and to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms;

4.To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals.

By the UN’s own admission, any failure on its part (to encourage respect for each other’s rights and freedoms and to be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations to achieve these goals) is contrary to its own mandate. It is therefore clear that until it can be demonstrated openly that U.S sovereignty is not threatened by U.N laws and Israel is not discriminated against by the U.N, the world has much to fear regarding its trustworthiness and impartiality to all nations.
