UN!? Peak Stupidity readers are welcome to fill in the blank with whatever international organization they want out of ... or we can see if President Trump follows through on his latest advice.
The advice from Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the result of an Executive Order Trump signed a couple of weeks after taking office ordering the State Department was to "review the international intergovernmental organizations that 'no longer serve American interests'". He only gave them a year? That's a tall order.
ZeroHedge reported last week, via the Epoch Times, US To Withdraw From 66 International Bodies, Treaties. That's a start. Let's get an inkling of who and what they're talking about there:
The U.N.-related entities that the Trump administration withdrew from include the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, International Law Commission, International Trade Centre, Peacebuilding Commission, Peacebuilding Fund, U.N. Democracy Fund, U.N. Energy, U.N. Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and U.N. University.Anything spelled "centre" or "programme", yeah, it's gotta go. "Empowerment"? You're on the list!
The non-U.N. organizations included the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact and the Commission for Environmental Cooperation.
The memorandum cited over two dozen “hybrid threats,” such as the Forum of European National Highway Research Laboratories and the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund.
The very first ZH comment asks what I would, "How about NATO and the UN?" That is THE original request, nay, DEMAND, from those Libertarians, Constitutionalists, real Americans of all sorts, as stated by the John Birch Society long long ago. GET! US! OUT! OF! THE! UN! The "us" conveniently means both the pronoun and "United States". Going along with this, since there's no point in hosting a gathering of Globalists if you're no longer going to the meetings, there's GET! THE! UN! OUT! OF! THE! US!
We'll forgo the Dr. Zhivago scene seen that appeared in our post Bolshevik Zohran Kwame Mamdani on seizing the means of habitation this time, but I can imagine Mayor Zohran's Housing Czar Kaprugina's scolding right now: "There was living quarters for 18 thousand illegal alien Communist New Yorkers in this building, Comrade Trump." "Errr, yes, Comrade, this is a much better arrangement."
“These organizations actively seek to constrain American sovereignty. Their work is advanced by the same elite networks—the multilateral ‘NGO-plex’—that we have begun dismantling through the closure of [the United States Agency for International Development].”This is what I voted for.
Get us out of everything!
If Trump keeps this sort of thing up he might be eligible for an Honorary John Birch Society membership. I'll pay his dues.
PS: I don't think since the JBS started up there's been any President who deserved to be a member. However, Barry Goldwater, GOP Presidential candidate in 1964 was said to be "the John Birch candidate". Had that election 62 years ago gone the other way... America would have added another few decades to its life.
