Getting the U.S. out of the U.N.

You've got to hand it to Henry Lamb, the executive vice president of the Environmental Conservation Organization and chairman of Sovereignty International; he's been putting up with abuse and derision for years as a constant critic of the U.N.

Until recently, as he points out, those who were highly critical of the U.N. were sure to be linked to the "whacked out, black helicopter" crowd. In Lamb's most recent column, he suggests Congress should adopt a new agenda; one of making sure that the U.S. get out of the U.N. It may be closer to reality than ever with the daily revelations of unprecedented corruption at every level.

Here's a blurb from Lamb's column:

Every day, a new outrage emerges from the United Nations bureaucracy. Kofi Annan, once known for his deliberate, even-handed diplomacy, now openly condemns the United States' action in Iraq as "illegal." He is offended that the U.S. expects accountability in the oil-for-food scandal and refuses to open the books for independent review. The corruption erupting from this single program eclipses the intrigue that is inherent throughout the United Nations system.

For years, individuals and organizations have warned that the United Nations is implementing an agenda that ultimately leads to total global control. These warnings have been discounted by the media and ridiculed by the "enlightened" as the blathering of "black helicopter conspiracy freaks."

Putting aside, for the moment, the U.N.'s agenda, the blatant corruption, deceit and open opposition to all things American, combined with the U.N.'s consistent failure to stop the slaughter of refugees in the Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia and elsewhere around the globe should have Americans asking their congressmen why we continue to support this institution.

What exactly does the United States get for the billions of dollars invested every year in the hundreds of U.N. agencies around the world?

What goes around, comes around. Now it seems that the supporters of the dubious U.N. are the ones who are "whacked out."
