Letter: United Nations is tower of shame
Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2000 | 10:35 a.m.
Every intellectually honest person knows that at the United Nations these words are, at best, pious platitudes, and, at worst, cynically manipulative and deceptive verbiage employed by some of the worst despots humanity has ever known.
Behind the smoke screen created by such words, the international socialists and despots gathered at the Millennium Summit to call for totalitarian world government through "global governance" and the empowerment of the United Nations that such governance would necessarily require.
Instead, Americans should raise a resounding cry of outrage and demand that Congress not allow one more iota of U.S. sovereignty to be ceded to the world body nor one more cent of our tax monies to be appropriated to prop up this colossal fraud, this vile tower of shame.
The Millennium Summit manifestly demonstrates the urgent necessity to get the United States out of the United Nations and to get the United Nations out of the United States.
