For OpEdNews: James Raider - Writer The international movement to
provide the United Nations (UN) with unprecedented power and influence on world
affairs has found a seemingly innocuous, but deceptive train to ride. The North
American perception of this world body founded in 1945 has become that of a
vast, but vapid and corrupt organization. The UN “Climate Change” train will
change that impression, but not for the better. With support from the Obama
administration, the path ahead will place the UN on a track toward receiving an
irreversible influence over our lives. The continuing corruption will render
unforeseen dividends for the corrupt and morally repugnant. There are currently 192 countries
making up the United Nations members list. The vast majority of the member
nations are dictatorships by any other name. You can dress their leaders in
fancy robes and toss an occasional crown on a head, but from Saudi Arabia to
Libya and Gambia, their leaders oppress their populations. They loot as much as
they can from their economies, while enjoying a comforting credibility rubbing
shoulders with other narcissistic misanthropes under the opulent umbrella of
the UN General Assembly. The UN has never been an effective
vehicle for achieving real peace and security, although it was intended to
achieve exactly that when it replaced the impotent League of Nations. The
overwhelming power of the United States has been the major underlying force
that has prevented major international wars since WWII. The UN has been an
inept bystander to international affairs. America's power and influence has
generated kick-back that has been fomented within the UN where jealousy
found broad fertile ground amongst a majority of member nations, including
Europeans such as Norway, Denmark. No need here to extend the list of envious
pretenders that easily includes the likes of Russia.
The reaction against the U.S. found new energy when the world found itself in an economic recession, and fingers could be pointed at America for having been too self serving. In slide the opportunists. Beating the newfound drums of climate change fear and catastrophe, they will mutate the upcoming Copenhagen meeting on climate change into a perfect vehicle through which begrudging usurpers will once again attempt elevating the UN to status of world power, “over” the U.S.
We can rest confident that the contemplated Copenhagen Treaty emanating from this meeting will find elements to mirror in the cap-and-trade bill now being promoted by Obama and Congress. This, along with the December 10 Nobel Peace Prize presentation, will lock in support from Washington for the agreement. Obama and Congress will have unwittingly signed on for the formation of Two disasters. The first will be a UN managed onerous extraction of cash from the United States and Canada for what can only be described as payment of a “climate debt.” The second will be the unprecedented endowment of the UN with sweeping powers over the economies of all nations. The text currently contemplated for signing by the membership will provide this body with incisive absolutism over the economic engines that have fueled both America's hegemony, as well as its population's independence of thought and freedoms.
Keep in mind that many, if not most, of the enlightened leaders of UN member countries are the same ones responsible for crimes against humanity, " their own humanities within their own home borders. This is also a membership heavily populated by misogynistic individuals who believe in the subjugation of women and criminalization of homosexuality, all the while pretending to promote the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
The time has long passed for the UN's charter to be changed. The UN has no ability or capacity to act as a world peace maker. It could remain as an organization directed toward humanitarian efforts, and provide a meeting place for resolving broad international challenges pertaining to education, population, or agriculture. It cannot, however, be allowed to morph into a world power. The United States, which funds almost one quarter of the UN's budget, should not allow it. Obama and Congress should refuse signing America on to the Copenhagen agreement, or any version of it. Copenhagen has nothing to do with cleaning up our refuse or CO2.
I should add a Third ensuing disaster if Copenhagen materializes: A weaker America would not be positive for long term prospects of world peace.
