United Nations Inept, Corrupt and Indifferent

Most people only seem to pay attention to their political problems, but ignore the humanitarian work they do. Who is going to take the role that UNICEF has played in helping to feed the world's poor children? Who is going to coordinate global health initiatives the way WHO has? Who is going to manage refugee camps, etc? Those aren't minor issues.

A correction if I may: most Yanks are very pro UN. It is the right wingers who strongly oppose it and who seek to undermine it to the utmost.
Note how Bush refused to pay the USA debt to it until he needed its approval for his war on Iraq. Then, he invaded Iraq without UN approval because he knew the Security Council would never approve of his criminal actions.
There is no doubt that the UN has its limitations. But it has succeeded in doing some good. And most of us Yanks, contrary to the wishes of right wing extremists, approve of it quite strongly.
Inept, corrupt and indifferent, there is no reason to be surprised, the 5 permanent members are
USA
UK
CHINA
RUSSIA
FRANCE
Without the big 5 being there to veto resolutions the rest of the countries might be able to make headway in other areas. Areas that they bring up rather than sitting quietly waiting for the big 5 to decide what is going to be discussed. Without the funding of the big 5 things would have to be done on the cheap. A site like this http://www.earthclinic.com/index.html has cheap solutions for many ailments. Somebody in the remoter parts of the world would be much better off knowing how to cook up a batch collodial silver himself than waiting for a UN plane to bring in some medicine that if it doesn't kill what it is supposed to any makes it stronger. Nothing silver can kill ever becomes immune to silver. This method might even work on making water drinkable that isn't healthy in the beginning (like adding iodine to water).

For more serious health problems if hydrogen peroxide doesn't kill it, well that is what you might die from. If you can't afford the $600/mo well what do you do? Taken internally (via an approved method) the oxygen will even kill most cancer cells. There certainlly isn't a cheaper cure and none that a poor person can afford.

Phage medicine is the next cheapest route to go in the health route and once you have a database upkeeping it isn't very expensive. This method basically is using a virus to kill a bacteria. For every bacteria there is one virus that will 'eat' it. Once all be bacteria is dead the virus dies because there is no longer any 'food'. A hospital operating room is full of bacteria. Swabs are taken at various points in the room and then examine through a microscope to identify what bacteria is present. That bacterial is looked up in the database to find the virus that will kill it. Once all the bacteria is identified a 'cocktail of various virus' is mixted up with some water and the room is sprayed down with something like a plant mister. A bit later you have a sterile room. Each hospital could 'grow there own as needed.

The UN could certainly play a role in 'taking care of the paperwork' and act as a central information database that all the countries could access.
A realistic view is that the countries that are not the big 5 are in more danger from the 5 than the 5 being in danger from 'the rest'. Rather than back door foreign policies the big 5 should have to present any 'lets make a deal' before an open forum before all countries in the UN before they can impliment anything. Like that hydrocarbon law coming to Iraq where somebody is making 7 x more profit more than with any other country where oil is the commodity.
I think that is all the UN is. A place to bash other countries and squeeze money. Other than that... it is useless.
Actually the UN is good for things like coordinating disaster relief, working out things like the Vietnamese boat-people crisis, it helps to settle grievances between countries sometimes, etc. Unfortunately, it is also a form of power succeptible to abuse (such as what I mentioned earlier). In nuce, however, the planet would not collapse if the UN disappeared.

I'll come back to this as I'm already in the middle of another post. The UN was a creation of the World Bank that was to oversee human rights abuses as well as give advise on economic development once the World Bank had approved the funding, @ interest. The common trait all members would share is they have a large loan with the Rothschild bankers. Having it in NY is just to show Gentiles running it is a flop, as soon as Jews are openly in charge they will remove the roadblocks they had put in place so it will appear to be running properly and Jews running the show would have to be the reason.
Nice of you to admit what their purpose will be, too bad you weren't supposed to. It's like Trumps new puppy admitting the Mafia is real, lol.

Geoffrey Clarfield: The United Nations is losing staggering sums to corruption, mismanagement and bad decision-making
Let me take you on a short UN safari around the world, beginning and ending in Washington, D.C., to see just how effectively the United Nations spends our tax dollars.
In 2009 in Washington, the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the world was threatened by an H1N1 global flu pandemic. It recommended that almost everyone be vaccinated.
Then, in 2010, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published its evaluation of the WHO. It pointed out that the medical scientists who had advised the WHO to declare this pandemic were also paid consultants of the large international pharmaceutical companies, who stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on this upsurge in the purchase of global vaccines. There was no subsequent UN financial investigation by the WHO to look into the BMJ’s initial findings.
In Paris, France, UNESCO’s latest campaign is to rewrite Biblical history and to deny any Jewish historical, archaeological or genetic relationship to the land of Israel. Recently, it has been focusing on the old city of Jerusalem, arguing that there is no long-term connection there between Jewish culture and the city.
A 2014 audit suggested that 80 per cent of the UN’s food aid, estimated to cost $100 million, was taken by Al Shabaab en route to starving civilians
Somalia is a country engaged in a massive civil war between tribal traditionalists and Islamic radicals called Al Shabaab. As is common in civil wars, simple poor people are often left starving. UN food convoys usually start from the Indian Ocean coast and move inland towards combat zones in the interior. As the government does not control these areas, NGOs and UN workers often have to surrender large amounts of this food to the terrorists. A 2014 audit of this food aid suggested that 80 per cent of it was stolen en route.
It is estimated that $100 million of food aid was taken by Al Shabaab during this project, thus rewarding the terrorists and contributing to the escalating violence.
Then let us not forget the Oil-for-Food Program that was established by the UN, which allowed Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for medicine and food for poor Iraqi citizens, without allowing Iraq to use the money for its army. In 2005, Paul Volker led an evaluation that found that about 2,253 well-known companies had made illegal payments totalling $1.8 billion to the Saddam regime during this flawed UN program.
Based in Nairobi, Kenya, the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) is one of those UN organizations that has got a massive boost in popularity because of the climate change controversy. In 2005, the UNEP predicted that climate change would create 50 million climate refugees by the year 2010. There were even predictions that some Pacific islands might disappear because of rising ocean levels.
Clearly none of this happened. So UNEP officials “disappeared” their maps and data from its web site without explanation, until some gifted journalists, who had cached it all, brought it back to the world’s attention. If UNEP was a department in any Canadian college or university, it would have been closed down and its professors fired. But that does not happen at the UN.
Then there is the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), which works all over the developing world and, strangely, has more than 637 millionaires among its employees. How can this be? Believe it or not, the UNDP had a program in North Korea during the late 1990s. The Wall Street Journal took an interest in it, pointing out that North Korea and the UNDP had violated all the rules that the UNDP sets up for its projects, and suggested that up to US$100 million of UNDP money was siphoned off by the government of the late Kim Jong Il. Now we know where some of the money for those millionaires may come from.

Finally, as far back as 1997, investigative journalist Catherine Caulfield published her book on the World Bank, called Masters of Illusion. Her goal was simply to see if the World Bank’s promises about its projects are borne out in results. She found that World Bank projects had a 40 to 50 per cent success rate, according to the World Bank’s own internal evaluations, and many critics will say that these internal evaluations are in themselves suspect. I tend to agree. When I was working on a Swiss government development project in East Africa in 2005, I came into contact with a number of young, Western-educated African managers of World Bank projects. Privately, they told me that, on average, 40 per cent of each World Bank project budget was lost to corrupt practices.
Caulfield’s evaluation is probably too generous.
Every year, Canadian taxpayers contribute millions of dollars to the UN and there is no sign that this practice will end. Our government leaders ignore the mounting evidence of systemic UN corruption, examples of which can be found all over the media.
Imagine if you gave $1 million a year to a charity that was supposed to feed the homeless and you found that, instead, the staffers of your NGO were using the money to feast at fancy restaurants. That is what the UN is doing, except on a gigantic scale.
