 UN-Paralleled Lunacy United Nations and United States Both Exposed as Frauds By a vote of 179-3, the United Nations this week reiterated its call for the United States to remove its embargo on impoverished Cuba. The vote revealed the largest majority yet on this issue. Even though the vote has no binding power on the United States, it clearly illustrates once again that the US is as much a rogue state as any that it names on its war against terrorism. It also demonstrates that the United Nations is nothing but a dog and pony show, giving the people of the world another spectacle which distracts them from the truth that no government truly represents their interests.
Policy officials in the US will argue that the embargo against Cuba is necessary because it is still a communist country. Its close geographical proximity to the southeastern seaboard also makes the nation a legitimate threat to US security. Lost in the gobbledygook of this sophomoric political reasoning is the fact that Castro's Cuba is even less of a threat to the US than Saddam Hussein's Iraq was. The island nation has long been impoverished under communist rule. The blatant hypocrisy of US policy surely must be seen in relation to its dealings with still communist China. Long recognized as a serious violator of human rights, China was welcomed as a most favored nation trading partner in the confusing months following the September 11th attacks. China is also at odds with its rebellious colony, Taiwan, a powder keg waiting to explode for some decades now. The US has a long standing agreement to defend Taiwan from Chinese aggressions, which has been a sticking point in Sino-US relations. If any communist nation is a true threat to US interests, it is China and not Cuba. The lesson for unlearners to see in this particular aspect of the drama is that US interests, or any other national interest for that matter, is merely a smokescreen used to disguise corporate and financial interests. China, with its enormous population of several billion, is the grand prize of future capitalist conquest. Not only can its workers be exploited to work for less than slave wages, the totalitarian government in China can imprison dissenters without challenge and without notice. In other words, communist China is a capitalist's wet dream. The second lesson waiting to be understood is how the apparent powerlessness of the UN will be used to signal its death and call for its replacement. Twice this year the United States has thumbed its nose at this representative world forum. First, it acted unilaterally in invading Iraq after Colin Powell's plagiarized and falsified testimony of Iraq's WMD stockpile and program. Now it continues to laugh at the UN as the Cuban people continue to suffer under the weight of heavy sanctions, which Cuba's foreign minister has labeled as genocide. The UN's recent endorsement of the Iraq invasion further implicates it in its spinelessness and in the scam against humanity. Those who are now marching for peace around the world are wasting their time by appealing to the United Nations. Its voting structure is undemocratic as any of the five bully nations on the Security Council can veto the largest majority. It is clear to see why the US and other nuclear nations are concerned with nuclear proliferation. Besides being a threat to world "peace", any new nuclear power is a threat to the control paradigm which now rules the planet. Until the power structure of the UN recognizes the equality of all member states, nuclear or not, it will continue to stink of the corporate elitist dung it was built upon. Another world storm is indeed brewing and the UN is powerless to stop it. True champions for peace will prepare themselves for the coming changes by not being manipulated when the engineered instability of global chaos emerges. No longer ruled by the fear which government and media controllers manufacture, enlightened humans will be able to use the chaos to craft a world of simpler and humbler principles. One may wish that the impending destruction could be avoided but we have slept too long for that to be a possibility. We have failed to remove the covers of nationality, economy, religion and history that have warmed our uneasy dreamtime. Throw them off now we must if we are to gain our clear heads and chart a new day. While United States and United Nations may parade around like self-important peacocks on the global stage, History will one day write that United Spirits suddenly emerged and took control of the roost. The peacocks were chickens after all. WHOSE LIFE ARE YOU LIVING? |
