Bibliography Personal Acknowledgments About the Author Introduction America and the world stand on the brink of one of the most perilous epochs in this planet’s history. According to the purveyors of conventional wisdom, communism is dead, the Cold War is over, and the greatest threats to world peace and security are rampant nationalism, inequitable wealth distribution, overpopulation, and environmental degradation. Yet the threat to a just world peace and comity among nations and peoples comes not from political fragmentation, ozone holes, greenhouse gases, an over- abundance of people, a shortage of natural resources, or even from the frequently offered scenarios of "rogue" elements in the former USSR acquiring control of nuclear weapons. The true, imminent danger to America and to all nations seeking peace and good will stems from widespread acceptance of the monstrous falsehood that in order to live in an "interdependent" world, all nation-states must yield their sovereignty to the United Nations. This lie is given dignity by other lies, chief of which is that Soviet totalitarianism has been buried forever.1 A too wide acceptance of these dangerous falsehoods is resulting in: 1) a massive transfer of wealth from the taxpayers in the West to the still-socialist governments of the East that remain under the control of "former" communists; 2) the gradual but accelerating merger or "convergence" of the U.S. and Russia through increasing economic, political, social, and military agreements and arrangements; and 3) the rapidly escalating transfer of power — military, regulatory, and taxing — to the UN. Unless the fiction underlying these developments is exposed, national suicide and global rule by an all-powerful world government are inevitable. "The Bush Administration," Time magazine noted on September 17, 1990, "would like to make the U.N. a cornerstone of its plans to construct a New World Order."2 That observation merely stated the obvious. In his speech to the nation and the world on September 11, 1990, Mr. Bush stated: "Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge...." He proceeded to announce his hopes for "a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders."3 It became abundantly clear to veteran students of "world order" politics that a major new push for world government had begun. Only a few years ago, any such attempt would have flopped miserably. During the 1970s and 80s, the UN’s record as an enclave of spies, a sinkhole of corrupt spendthrifts, and an anti-American propaganda forum for terrorists, Third World dictators, and Communist totalitarians, had thoroughly tarnished its carefully manufactured image as mankind’s "last best hope for peace." From 1959, when the UN could boast an 87 percent approval rating, the annual Gallup Poll showed a continuous decline in popularity for the organization. By 1971, a Gallup survey reported that only 35 percent of the American people thought the UN was doing a good job. By 1976, Gallup claimed that the support had dropped to 33 percent. In 1980, it declined further to an all-time low of 31 percent. "At no point since [1945]," said Dr. Gallup referring to his latest figures, "has satisfaction with the overall performance of the world organization been as low as it is today."4 The John Birch Society’s long and frequently lonely billboard, bumper sticker, petition, letter-writing, and pamphleteering educational campaigns to "Get US out! of the United Nations" had made good sense to many Americans. In the early years of the Reagan Administration, UN-bashing became positively respectable, even fashionable. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Jeane Kirkpatrick could be seen and heard almost daily denouncing the world body’s anti-Americanism, tyranny promotion, and fiscal profligacy. Editorials opposing UN actions and the organization itself began appearing with frequency in local and regional newspapers, and occasionally even in major national news organs. Anti-UN sentiment had already reached the point in 1981 that veteran UN-watcher Robert W. Lee could report in his book, The United Nations Conspiracy: "Today the UN is increasingly regarded not as a sacred cow, but rather as a troika composed of a white elephant, a Trojan horse, and a Judas goat."5 The supermarket tabloid Star, while not exactly a consistently reliable heavyweight in the news and analysis category, expressed the sentiments of a large and growing segment of the American people with a November 3, 1981 article by Steve Dunleavy entitled, "Rip Down This Shocking Tower of Shame." In March of 1982, syndicated columnist Andrew Tully authored a piece headlined: "[Mayor] Koch Should Chase UN Out of Town."6 Many similar articles and editorials could be cited, but perhaps one of the most surprising was the August 24, 1987 cover story by Charles Krauthammer for The New Republic, entitled "Let It Sink: The Overdue Demise of the United Nations." But the advent of Mikhail Gorbachev’s "new thinking" in the late 1980s coincided with the beginning of a remarkable rehabilitation in the public’s image of the UN. First Gorbachev, and then Boris Yeltsin, won plaudits for reversing the traditional Soviet (or Soviet surrogate) practice of using the UN as a venue for strident anti-American diatribes. Yassir Arafat and his PLO terrorists dropped their regular anti-Israel philippics. And the UN’s "peacekeepers" won a Nobel Prize and worldwide praise for their roles as mediators in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Central America, Southern Africa, and the Middle East. Then came Operation Desert Storm, the holy war against the aggression of Saddam Hussein. And mirabile dictu, the United Nations was once again the world’s "last best hope for peace." Suddenly UN "peacekeepers" began to appear almost everywhere — with more than 40,000 troops in the field in Africa, Asia, Europe, Central America, and the Middle East7 — and every new day now brings new appeals for the world body’s intervention and "expertise." On United Nations Day 1990, a new Gallup Poll indicated that "American support for the United Nations ... is higher than it has been in over 20 years." According to the national polling organization, "Fifty-four percent of Americans now think the United Nations has done a good job of solving the problems it has had to face...." The poll cited the "rapprochement between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S., and the dissolution of the Iron Curtain," as well as the developing Persian Gulf situation, as major factors contributing to the enhancement of the UN’s image.8 Gallup reported that "almost six out of ten Americans think that the U.N. has been effective in helping deal with the current [Iraq-Kuwait] crisis, with only 8% saying that the U.N. has not been at all effective." Even more disturbing, if accurate, is the poll finding that 61 percent of those surveyed thought it a good idea to build up the United Nations emergency force to "a size great enough to deal with ‘brush fire’ or small wars throughout the world."9 The euphoria following the Persian Gulf hostilities temporarily boosted George Bush’s approval rating to an all-time high for any president. Rude economic realities and an accumulating number of political problems then caused his star to plummet just as rapidly as it had risen. The UN’s gains, however, appear to have been more durable. As reported by Richard Morin ("U.N. Real Winner After Gulf War," Salt Lake Tribune, January 24, 1992), a survey by the Americans Talk Issues Foundation "found that approval for the United Nations actually increased from 66 percent in June to 78 percent in November [1991], a period when other measures of war-induced euphoria were sinking fast." The Tribune reported: [H]alf of those questioned — 51 percent — agreed that "the U.S. should abide by all World Court decisions, even when they go against us, because this sets an example for all nations to follow." That was up from 42 percent in May. More than half also would support increasing the amount of dues that the United States pays to the U.N. to "help pay for a U.N. space satellite system to detect and monitor such problems as arms movements, crop failures, refugee settlements and global pollution." And, remarkably, 38 percent of those questioned said United Nations resolutions "should rule over the actions and laws of individual countries, where necessary to fulfill essential United Nations functions, including ruling over U.S. laws even when our laws are different." While we recognize that pollsters often structure their polling questions to achieve results that will influence rather than accurately reflect public opinion, and these surveys may be exaggerating the rise of pro-UN sentiments, there is little doubt that the world organization is experiencing a dramatic turnaround in citizen acceptance. In large measure, this has resulted from the enormously effective UN drum-beating campaigns of the Establishment news media.
