Hello Friends,
Rick I agree with all your comments and sentiments and as it stands now things are looking grim. Congress passed a compromise bill that was defeated in the Senate and now the ball is in dirty Harry Reid's hands. We'll see what he comes up with and it'll probably be a watered down version of the Boehner bill. What ever the case may be it won't benefit the American people quite the opposite in fact. More delirious and manic spending and come next year the United States of America will be in a worse position then she's in today. We'll remember the 9.2% unemployment as the good old days and the $ will be devalued even more then it is today.
While all this drama is going on in Washington the fraud and great pretender is committing America's money to the UN. As we all know America is the biggest contributor to the UN of all it's membership. As a matter of fact she "donates" more then most of the other countries combined. When you consider that the Islamic world has a strangle hold on the UN with its 57 member nations and that many of them are oil rich their contribution to the UN is minimal. When you consider that they control many of the UN's committees and organizations it seems that they would contribute more but in their minds they have no reason to cos their brother and sister B Hussein and Hillary will do their all to empower the UN and the Muslim control without their having to cough up any money.
In any case read the below article and weep cos while the country is fighting for its credit rating and upping the spending spree of the fraud and great pretender he's already spending the monies not on the American people but the corrupt UN. Sad state of affairs indeed. Let the whiners explain why their idol B Hussein is spending their hard earned money on the UN and not paying their Social Security and other entitlements.
Shalom,
Peter

By Paul L. Williams
The U. S. State Department yesterday announced that the Obama Administration
has agreed to contribute $4 billion to the United Nations Global Fund to fight
AIDs, Tuberculosis, and Malaria from 2011 to 2013.
The $4 billion represents a 38% increase over the previous U.S. commitment to
the fund.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that a total of $11.7
billion has been raised from 40 countries, the European Commission, faith-based
organizations, private foundations, and various corporations.
This means that over one-third of the money will come from the pockets of US
taxpayers.
Oil-rich nations like Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and the United Arab Emirates
contribute next to nothing, and China, which holds most of the US $14 trillion
debt, agreed to provide a measly $14 million.
In addition to the annual gift of $1.33 billion to the Global Fund, President
Obama has agreed to provide billions more for UN projects.
These allocations are set forth in a 28 page document as follows:
*
* Funnel $63 billion to the Global Health Initiative during the next six years
* Make $1 billion annually to education programs
* Give $475 million to the Global Agricultural and Food Security Program’
* Provide $800 million from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation to
Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East and North Africa. An additional
$3.2 billion will be provided by private equity capital sources to these Muslim
nations
* Shell out millions more available through USAID for developing tech hubs in
Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, South Africa, and Senegal.
* Dole out $80 million through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation for
small to medium enterprises in the Middle East and North Africa.
* Cough up $2.5 billion annually to 90 countries to “strengthen governance and
democratic institutions.”
* Make available $30 billion through the Obama’s Climate Change Initiative to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, $100 billion a year will be
provided through taxpayer and private resources to deal with the alleged threat
of global climate change [1].
The United States is assessed at 22% of the U.N. regular
budget [2] and more than 27% for U.N. the peacekeeping budget.
Mr. Obama has requested $516.3 million for the U.N. regular budget and more than
$2.182 billion for the peacekeeping budget for 2011.
The United States is also assessed for numerous other United Nations
organizations as well. More than $6.347 billion went to U.N. organizations in FY
2009.
The United States also provides money to the U.N. through the State
Department, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of
Health and Human Services, and other agencies.
Andrea Lafferty of The Traditional Values Coalition writes: “The U.S.
taxpayer is forced to pay billions to an inefficient organization run by world
leaders who hate America and the free market system. This doesn’t make any sense
– nor does our paying 22% of the cost to keep this bureaucracy alive when we
have only one vote in the General Assembly.”
Several candidates have called for the U.S. to sever its relationship with
the United Nations. The list includes Dennis Ross, a Republican candidate for
Congress from the 12th Congressional District of Florida.
In a statement to The New American, Mr. Ross said:
An organization that allows nations like Iran and Libya to chair committees
dedicated to human and women’s rights makes a mockery of both. The UN, like any
bureaucracy, must constantly be evaluated and put to the test, and if found
lacking, be dismantled. I believe the US government is perfectly capable of
conducting bilateral and multilateral relations with other nations on our own.
Despots, human rights violators, and tyrants should be confronted, not
congratulated.
Such concerns over the U.S. involvement with the UN are not new.
Senator Barry Goldwater was quoted in 1971 by the Congressional
Record as saying:
The time has come to recognize the U.N. for the anti-American, anti-freedom
organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all
financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the U.N. to find a headquarters
location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy
of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.
