United States should not be under United Nations’ control
Commentary by James Watkins

At the surface, the United Nations can appear to be a benevolent entity. Representatives of nations should come together and discuss international issues in order to work toward solving the many problems of this world, so having an organization such as the United Nations can seem like a good idea.

However, the perception that many people have of the United Nations is not an accurate one. The United Nations is a fascistic regime and every single American should be united in opposition to this international organization. The United Nations has one goal: Complete control over every nation of this world.

The United Nations wants our weapons. They do not just want guns; they want all forms of weapons of mass destruction. In U.S. Department of State Publication proposed in 1961 that the United States and all other nations relinquish their war-making capabilities to the United Nations, so that the United Nations can effectively settle disputes and work toward making this world a peaceful one. The document advocates the use of a U.N. “Peace Force” to maintain order. “As states relinquish their arms, the United Nations must be progressively strengthened in order to improve its capacity to assure international security and the peaceful settlement of disputes,” says the proposal.

On the United Nation’s own Web site, one can find a handbook that explains how to destroy small arms, light weapons, ammunition and explosives. In the foreword to the handbook, Undersecretary General for Disarmament Affairs Jayantha Dhanapala claims that weapons must be seized and destroyed in order to prevent armed conflicts in the future. It is easy to conclude that the United Nations wants to be the one that confiscates and destroys these weapons.

At first, one might conclude that this proposal makes sense. However, the truth is that if the United Nations controls the weapons of this country, the people of the United States will become the United Nations’ slaves. The United Nations would have an enormous power over us, because we would be unable to defend ourselves from those who wish us harm. The reason our Constitution has a Second Amendment is so law-abiding citizens can defend themselves. Not surprisingly, the United Nations doesn’t promote this right.

Another little-known fact about the United Nations is that they participate with the Chinese government in performing abortions upon women forcibly. China only allows women to bear one child, and those that become pregnant a second time are forced to undergo an abortion. The U.N. Population Fund participates with China in these cruel and de-humanizing acts. The fund has received tens of millions of dollars of U.S. support in the past. The U.S. government should stop funding this program now.

The United Nations has a set of standards that they want to impose on every nation of this world. The people of this nation must wake up to the fact that the United Nations must be opposed at all costs. The U.S. government should immediately stop funding this organization, and oppose the U.N. efforts to take away the sovereignty of this nation and others throughout the world.
