POPSDefund the U.N. . . Don't Fix It they believe that unelected, unaccountable functionaries of tyrannous regimes—regimes not only pursuing their own interests but frequently working against our interests—are more capable of determining the legitimacy of the United States’ foreign policy and behavior than are the American people. Unlike the U.N., the true legitimacy of American actions is conferred by the democratic process and the attendant free and open debate on the part of citizens who can hold their leaders accountable, and who have a sense of the ideals and principles that animate foreign policy and provide its goals. Subjecting those decisions to the corrupt deliberations of the U.N. merely hampers our own interests and endangers our national security. We need to get out of the U.N., not fix it, as Rep. Ros-Lehtinen is trying to do . Defund the U.N. by Bruce Thornton http://bit.ly/nk3AKj http://www.hoover.org

POPSUS vetoes UN vote on settlements Once again, America does its best to render the UN as useless. This also shows who has the power in America - the Jews (as part of the corporatist group.)

POPSBill Maher and violent rhetoric And while we're at, let's just get all giddy about how much high oil prices help your dreams to perpetuate a fraud while people's lives in poorer nations are placed under extreme hardship, suffering, and death.

POPSGeorgia Guidestones In the last three decades, it goes rising and falling in people's interest, attracting both wonder and hatred. These are interpreted as directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse by some, as the Ten Commandments of the Devil by others, and of course it was already linked with the 2012 fever, occultism, NWO and UFO conspirations. Since 2008, it's a target for many kinds of vandalism...

POPSU.N. Bodies Want Up to $60 Billion to Monitor ... Everything
to bring their domestic climate observation systems up to speed. That could bring the high estimate of the additional cost of the five year effort to more than $60 billion. The report emphasizes that all cost estimates are "provisional." The cost analysis section of the report " which appears in the executive summary, but not in the main report itself " is discreetly silent about who will hand over all the money, especially the part to be spent in the developing world, but by implication, the money is intended to come from developed countries. The vast surveillance network will also have other uses than purely scientific ones. Its ability to measure changes in land use and their effects will tie into elements of a global climate deal that envisage trading cash for efforts to prevent deforestation in poorer countries " which, in turn, may tie into a lucrative international system of trading "carbon offsets" in a cap-and-trade system. It will also aid in assessing disaster rel

POPSObama Has Won The 100 Metres at The 2012 London Olympics Thus, with President Wilson alone, the Nobel Peace Prize death toll is over 50 million and counting. Occasionally the peace prize has gone to actual peace negotiators but usually, per Teddy Roosevelt, when there was nothing left to negotiate. Carlos Saavedra Lamas got his in 1936 for mediating between Bolivia and Paraguay in the Chaco War (1932-35). Both nations were exhausted, 100,000 soldiers were dead, and the Chaco was--as it had been and remains--a vast, useless weed patch. Likewise, Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan (1976) and John Hume and David Trimble (1998)--the four of them were standing around when, after 500 years, the fool residents of my ancestral homeland ran out of ammo and beer. Of course, if you go around giving prizes left and right (mostly left) for more than a century, you're bound to give some to worthy people once in a while. With the Nobel committee this usually involves the Red Cross (1901, 1917, 1944, 1963). But the Red Cross doesn't bring peace . . .

POPSObama’s French Lesson newest provocation did not warrant the imposition of tougher sanctions. Do the tally. In return for selling out Poland and the Czech Republic by unilaterally abrogating a missile-defense security arrangement that Russia had demanded be abrogated, we get from Russia . . . what? An oblique hint, of possible support, for unspecified sanctions, grudgingly offered and of dubious authority " and, in any case, leading nowhere because the Chinese have remained resolute against any Security Council sanctions. Confusing ends and means, the Obama administration strives mightily for shows of allied unity, good feeling, and pious concern about Iran’s nuclear program " whereas the real objective is stopping that program. This feel-good posturing is worse than useless, because all the time spent achieving gestures is precious time granted Iran to finish its race to acquire the bomb. Don’t take it from me. Take it from Sarkozy, who could not conceal his astonishment at Obama’s naïveté.

POPSAnother useless exercise in smartough diplomacy There were, of course, two illicit nuclear projects stopped during that period, though the U.N. had nothing to do with it. One was Libya's clandestine nuclear kit, which al-Qaddafi--spooked by the fate of Saddam--agreed to hand over to the U.S. in late 2003. The other was Syria's North Korea-abetted secret reactor. That was destroyed in 2007, not by a U.N. resolution, but by an Israeli air strike.

POPS Morford on Useless Drug Wars
Damn, there goes my meth supply Thank God for big local drug raids, because now you can't get coke or pot or Ecstasy anymore. Oh wait...the column continues: Is it not brutally true? Is this not pretty much the norm now, the common wisdom, going on nearly 40 years of the modern and abysmal "War on Drugs" and hundreds of billions of dollars spent and countless thousands of lives lost and prisons overflowing, and yet we're a nation that's more illegally drug-happy than ever? Sometimes you just have to ask. Because truly, this grand and insidious "war" must be one of our greatest national embarrassments, an enormous, unspoken failure, far worse in its way than the lost and disgusting war in Iraq, given how it's caused more misery and more pain and more destruction across multiple decades and nations and governments and continues to cost countless billions of dollars and yet has, as all stats and studies reveal, almost zero effect on the overall drug culture of the nation.

POPSWe Are Making Our Selves, OUR NATION, POORER - And Other Nations RICHER. If we drill in these places then we will lower the cost of energy WORLDWIDE and that will help the world's economy. IT'S A WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN: We make more money; we send less overseas to unsavory nations; we lower our costs and the energy costs of the whole world - and it doesn't harm the environment one iddy-biddy bit. SO WHY DON'T WE DO THIS!? Where's the leadership from Bush!? WHY HASN'T MCCAIN SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS!? Where's the freakin' Congressional GOP!? Useless.

POPSBoot United Nations Now!
cont: Here you have an open-and-shut case of a rogue, dictatorial regime kidnapping and holding hostage innocent soldiers...soldiers that were not in Iranian waters when they were apprehended. The Brits have the GPS data to prove it. One of the sailors is a woman, making the situation all the more outrageous. On top of all this, Iran is parading the soldiers on TV...in direct violation of the Geneva Convention. And what does the UN do? Nothing. Why? Because the UN is anti-American, and that makes it anti-Brit. It's time for not only the United States to pull out of the United Nations but for us to kick them out of the United States. Let's form another international organization composed of countries with elected governments that adhere to principles of economic freedom and guaranteed rights for their citizens. The UN? Give it Haiti. The two deserve each other. The left always tells us we need the U.N. as a place for countries to settle international disputes. Tell me just one
