Dear Newswatch Magazine Listeners/Readers:
he United Nations got their ears blistered recently when Senator Jesse Helms spoke to the Security Council. He told them that "American power in the world will never be usurped by the United Nation's 'UTOPIAN' vision of a centralized world order." He has helped block payment of dues to keep the organization running because of the encroachment of U.S. national sovereignty. The debate was about sovereignty VS. Collective action.
He said: "Many Americans sense that the U.N. has GREATER ambitions than simply being an efficient deliverer of humanitarian aid, a more effective peacekeeper, a better weapons inspector and a more effective tool of great power diplomacy." Helms said: "They see the U.N. aspiring to establish itself as the central authority of a new international order of global laws and global governance - an international order the American people will NOT countenance."
Helms said the United States is FED UP with routinely losing General Assembly votes, being investigated for human rights abuses, being called a dead-beat, being challenged on the "inherent legitimacy" of intervening militarily, and with possibly becoming a target of U.N. war crimes tribunals. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Friday, January 21, 2000, 9A).
Does Senator Jesse Helms have any reason to be concerned and justified in his trip to the United Nations?
Concern #1: The original founders in the American delegation of the U.N. were found by 1953 to ALL have been secret Communists (Postwar Foreign Policy Preparation, 1939-1945, U.S. State Department; Interlocking Subcommittee in Government Departments, U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee report, July 30, 1953). The personality, PURPOSE, and accomplishments of an organization are highly affected by its leadership. Joining the 17 U.S. State Department founders were 43 members of the ultra-influential, pro-Socialist/Marxist, globalist think tank - the Council on Foreign Relations. Six of the 43 members of the CFR also had the distinction of membership in the Communist Party USA. And importantly, the U.N.'s first Secretary General and orchestrator of the San Francisco conference was the man from our State Department who was later convicted as a secret Soviet agent - Alger Hiss.
Following in the founders footsteps, the 54 ½ year history of the U.N. has seen ALL seven Secretary Generals to be either a Socialist or Communist. ALL 15 of the U.N. Under-Secretary-Generals for Political Council Affairs, that run the MILITARY, have been Russian Communist except one - a Yugoslav Communist!!!
The U.S. employees to the U.N. have not done well either. Besides the scandal of having Communists Alger Hiss and State Department employees that helped found the U.N. as Communists, a 1952 official Senate investigation into the then six year old organization revealed "extensive evidence indicating that there is today [1952] in the U.N. among the American employees there, the greatest concentration of Communists that this committee has EVER encountered" (Activities of U.S. Citizens Employed by the U.N., hearings before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, 1952, pp. 407-408). These were high officials.
Twenty years later, the "anti-American, anti-freedom" flavor of the U.N. continued unabated, which prompted former U.N. enthusiast, Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, to call for U.S. withdrawal from the U.N., and the re-stationing of its headquarters to a place "more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of its voting members, somewhere like Peking or Moscow" (Congressional Record, October 26, 1971, p. S16764, U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater).
Things were NO different by the 1980's, so President Ronald Reagan expressed the same conviction - adding that the U.N. was the host of the greatest concentration of spies in the world. He vowed to withdraw the U.S. from the U.N. until he had a private meeting with David Rockefeller. He completely did an about-face and even called upon the Senate for the passage of the Genocide Convention Treaty to the U.N. The Senate had refused passage since 1947 as a MAJOR concession to the LOSS of national sovereignty. Senator Jesse Helms said sovereignty vs. "collective" action. Collectivism IS what Communism is all about - loss of individualism.
Sincerely,
David J. Smith
