Is there anything wrong with a President supporting one of his favorite subversive organizations?

Wait a minute! If you read the article, the actual amount was $4 billion, which is 1/25 of the amount in the headline!

Ha! Like the Oil for Food Scandal, err Program? Yeah, I'm sure that helped a LOT of people who cannot help themselves.

The rest of the spending is detailed in a list in the article. Here's a snippet;
Quote:
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

Um...no; there was a committment to form a unified group of nations to forestall wars before they were deemed inevitable as early as June 1941 without U.S. involvement at all. This is acknowledged in the U.N. Website as the beginnings and history of it's charter.

Many countries had petitioned for the actual location of the headquarters buildings but your country won out, and the ultimate location was a result of a "donation" of over $8 million by John D Rockefeller to purchase a specific tract of land in New York.

It would be accurate to state that the U.S. "became a driving force" in it's final culmination or fruition but the conception was already begun by many other countries signing a declaration (June 41) that was later also "taken up" and joined at the same time, at end of WWII, by the U.S., USSR (Russia) and China among others.

History of the United Nations Charter (http://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/history/ - broken link)

Is it accurate to surmise the U.N. is a manipulated entity of George Soros? Only in so far as it is now an organization manipulated by any number of questionable entities. The organization itself went from being a group of like minded (for the most part) countries to a "cluster ****" of red headed step children, all with vested interests using it's charter to subvert the very purpose for which the organization was conceived in the first place.

In that regard, the U.S. is as culpible as many others in sponsoring many of these failed states and dictatorships to join, mistakenly using the theory of "inclusion" hopefully making them better world citizens or simply just rewarding these cretins with a membership for past favours.

Ask yourselves this question: why would your country continue tolerating the continued malfeascence of any organization it is contributing a major portion of the "heavy lifting" to maintain it's existance, unless, it were deemed in it's financial or political best interests to do so?

Because the global elites don't view our country as soverign, they look at the globe as their empire to manipulate as they see fit. It's about utilizing our resources for the greater good, spreading the wealth on a global scale.

Default Anyone Remember This?

Or this?


‪The Chamber Brothers Time Has Come Today‬‏ - YouTube

Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)

Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I'm thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)

Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)

Time [x11]

"Oh
Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)

(Time)
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)

Time [x4]
Yeah"
