UN Deflects Its Oil-For-Food Scandal To “Stingy” US

Just when I thought the UN couldn’t become any more deceitful, UN Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland has said that the US’ pledge of a starting point of $15M is “stingy”. Stingy? The United States of America provides more assistance to the world than all other countries combined! Egeland even had the gall to suggest that taxes on US citizens should be raised! It would appear that the recent tragic earthquake and attendant Tsunami has boded well for the UN. Most certainly, it is using this tragedy to divert attention from its own members’ corrupt involvement in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal. Do you suppose Egeland and his UN colleagues believe that, with this recent horrific calamity, the world will now forget about their own Iraqi-involved corruptions? It would certainly seem so. Could the UN, also, be looking toward this most recent catastrophe as another source of incoming relief funds that they can utilize to covertly “skim their share off the top”? Top UN officials (including Secretary General Kofi Annan and his son) have, already, been implicated as very probably having been involved in taking kickbacks from Dictator Sadam Hussein. Are these soon-to-be-named officials, perhaps, planning to use US taxpayer funded relief dollars, dedicated to this latest tragedy, as “golden parachutes” for their looming departures?
The UN has not only become an exceedingly crooked organization but, through its mouthpiece Egeland, has decided to raise our taxes…on its own. The impudence of these latest UN statements is ludicrous enough. But, considering what is behind them (the UN’s attempt to cover-up its own sleazy behaviors and get some additional “bucks” in the bargain) is unconscionable. Why do all of the relief funds have to go through the UN, anyway? Is there any way we can bypass this fraudulent organization and go directly to the sources? We already know that much of it will “mystifyingly” disappear (into the pockets of UN officials?) before the rest is forwarded to the people and countries who need it. Can’t we cut out the “UN as middle man” scenario? After the uncovering of its Iraq scandal, we already know what the UN will execute; to its own selfish ends. And, the now almost age-old question still remains. Why don’t we send the UN packing from the shores of the USA? Keeping our enemies close is having the opposite effect for which it was intended. Under the ‘protection’ of the US, the UN is robbing us and much of the world blind.
