When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
Remember what the dormouse said;
“Keep your head.“
Jefferson Airplane—”White Rabbit”
From September 20 through September 22, 2010, the United Nations General Assembly conducted its annual meeting at UN Headquarters in New York.
The various heads of state and diplomats representing the nations of the world were given the opportunity to speak to the delegation, and to the entire world. Each speaker is allowed 15 minutes to speak, but the important ones are allowed longer.
President Obama spoke for 32 minutes and Iranian President Ahmadinejad a little longer. What these two men said is very useful for learning the state of the world and the nation.
President Obama concentrated on two main points. The first point had to do with the 9/11 attacks and what he has been doing in response.
The second point had to do with what he called “rescuing our economy from potential catastrophe.” Much of his speech involved his desire to eliminate global poverty, solve climate change, and build a lasting partnership with the Iraqi people. He said that America has “embraced unique responsibilities that come with our power.”
When he speaks, I feel the fruits of my labor flowing out of my pocket and into someone else’s pocket.
Much of his speech was illogical and disconnected from the reality of the world. He lamented the failure of the UN to reach its Millennium Goals, of which the United States is now a part. These goals have to do with world poverty and sustainable development, among other things.
The idea that he manages the system that is responsible for most poverty and environmental destruction as well as war seems lost on him. The system is monopoly capitalism, which concentrates the world’s resources into as few corporate hands as possible and then links those hands to governmental monopoly protection, all financed by Wall Street through its license from the central banks.
While he moans and cries about poverty, he spreads death and destruction across the world. There is no poverty in the United States? No, he says, it only exists in nations that he allows to have it.
But the truth is somewhat different: 40 million plus Americans are on food stamps, and 20 million plus Americans are now out of work. Poverty is a worldwide condition thanks to 65 years of war since the UN was founded, and 100 years of central bank management of the US monetary system.
President Ahmadinejad of Iran was not much better. He spoke about 9/11 and stated that there were 3 theories about it. When he did, the US and 27 other nations walked out of his speech. (Israel boycotted President Obama’s speech as well.) Obama called Ahmadinejad’s 3 theory approach to 9/11 and his call for an impartial investigation “hateful, offensive and inexcusable” as well as “outrageous and disgusting.”
Ahmadinejad was right about one thing. The 9/11 attacks were used as justification for the invasion of 3 countries and the killing, wounding, and displacement of millions of people, and because of that the world deserves an impartial answer.
Ahmadinejad talked a lot about what he called “management of the world.” He believes the world is being mismanaged by the Security Council and that it should be superseded by a stronger and more empowered General Assembly where no nation would have veto power.
He and Obama both talked a lot about world government as a goal. Neither of them even paid lip service to defending the sovereignty of his country. The incoming General Assembly President Joseph Deiss of Switzerland said that the UN faces a danger that it will be marginalized by other international groups in the central role of world government.
Only one person stood for the sovereignty of his nation: Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic, who said, “On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states.”
Well said, Mr. Klaus. We can’t afford to run the world anymore, and everyone should just mind his own business.
With the interest in sovereignty destroying world government organizations of both Obama and Ahmadinejad, could Ahmadinejad be the controlled opposition to Obama? Who knows? Not me, but we could go ask Alice, maybe she knows.
Anyway, I should close with a substitute speech to the General Assembly, since I have been so critical of the ones that were given:
“You have 90 days to get outta town because this building will be imploded at one second after midnight of the 90th day. You’ve all seen the 9/11 tapes, so you know what building implosions look like. You are welcome here anytime as tourists. Now, go home and mind your own business.”
