Sportswriter Fred Lieb coined the term "The House that Ruth built" referring to the old Yankee Stadium which opened in 1923. Not too far from Yankee Stadium is "The House that Hiss Built," which is the United Nations Headquarters. Alger Hiss was the UN's first acting secretary who co-authored, with a Soviet national, the United Nations charter. He was also, as the world discovered a few years later, a Soviet agent during Stalin's reign of terror. That is correct. The man who cowrote the U.N. Charter, who served as an adviser to Franklin Roosevelt, was a communist spy.
Former Communist agent Whittaker Chambers exposed Hiss. He authored the book Witness to tell his story and his connection to Hiss. This and many other facts are kept from our nation's government schoolchildren in their Model United Nations programs.
So, it should come as no surprise that the U.N. Charter and its Universal Declaration of Rights passed are diametrically opposed to the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence. In the United States, rights come from God and the main purpose of government is to protect those God-gy6hiven rights. The U.N.'s organic documents make no reference to God, and it implies that rights come from governments, and can be taken away by those same governments. The U.N's Declaration of Rights grants the right of religion, the right of nationality, education, and even the right to leisure, but in Article 29, all of these government granted rights can be taken away:
"In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order, and the general welfare in a democratic society.
These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

This explains why the U.N. membership is replete with despotic regimes.
October 24 marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations. It was sold to a war weary world as Mankind's last and best hope for peace. In reality, its purpose from its inception was to be a world government. The long standing goals of the U.N. include a world army, a fully functioning world court, a world tax, world education standards, and world population control which is already being implemented in Third-World countries.
What WHO is really about
WHO - The World Health Organization - is a UN entity founded in 1948. It's head, Dr. Tedius Ghebreyesuswas a senior member of the Tigray People's Liberation Front-a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group. He also has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party. This explains why WHO adopted the CCP's Covid protocols which in turn the U.S. adopted. President Trump wisely got us out WHO for the second time but not before the damage was done.
U.N. "Peacekeepers"? Not really
One of the most Orwellian terms I know is "U.N. Peacekeepers." They were first used in Katanga, a province in what was once called the Belgian Congo, now Zaire in the early 1960s. Soviet trained Patrice Lumumba became the leader of the nation. Dr. Moise Tshombe, a pro-Western Christian leader of Katanga seceded from the nation. In direct violation of its charter, the U.N. sent in its "peacekeepers" mainly white soldiers from Ireland-were sent to Katanga. They murdered, and raped civilians and bombed hospitals and radio stations. Their mission in Côte d'Ivoire from 2003-2017 was rife with sexual abuse of children. Other nations that experienced sexual abuse by U.N. Peacekeepers include Sri Lanka, Haiti. Sudan, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Bosnia, and Kosovo. U.N. troops tortured to death a Somali teenager, and the pro-U,N. American media outlets in the U.S. ignored this horror.
Agenda 21-2030
The UN's tentacles aren't in faraway nations; they are in our neighborhood. In 1992, it introduced Agenda 21, now Agenda 2030. President Bush signed on to it and President Clinton's administration made it the policy of the U.S. Government. Today, hundreds of towns and cities including Wolfeboro and Concord, NH belong to another U.N entity, ICLEI-International Council for Local Environmental Initiative. No peacekeepers are needed. The policies of Agenda 21 are being implemented locally. Plastic bag and straw bans, bike lanes on busy streets, solar panels in what were once green fields, and climate change propaganda in our schools are just a few examples of the local implementation of Agenda 21. This is a quote from the "Father of Agenda 21, the late Maurice Srtrong, who was a billionaire oilman and New Age devotee:
"Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class -- involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing -- are not sustainable."
Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has introduced the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, which calls for the United States' complete withdrawal from the United Nations. It is high time that we got out of the United Nations. Readers who would like resources on this subject are welcome to E-mail me campconstitutuion1@gmail.com
