Hey! The UN circus is in town!
Roll up! The UN circus is in town with
its General Assembly Annual Debate! Get your tickets ladies and
gentlemen to see our collection of freaks, clowns and weird and
wonderful creatures from the four corners of the globe spouting hot air
in a piss and wind rendition of "all together now". What policymaking
can we expect for the forthcoming years?
So, here we go again with another
meeting of 130-odd world leaders getting together in New York for
another General Assembly annual general debate which will last all this
week and part of next. The hot air focus of this year's magnificent
event is about global development, promoting equity, protecting the
planet, justice and (violins) prosperity for all (cheers) (end violins).
Permit me to write a paragraph of
UN-speak, the language spoken by the UN: We are gathered together here
today to create a brighter tomorrow learning from the mistakes of
yesterday and building a common garden for all of us to prosper in
starting next week, remembering last month's challenges to implement a
new direction this year, living a common goal which reaches out to all
colours, races and creeds, living together like brothers and sisters
around our common lake, the seas. (Raspberry).
This type of discourse is going to last
day in, day out all week long. The tangible results will be a lot of
promises, a lot of hand-shakes, some very bland chicken lunches and
dinners, some bored old sod falling asleep in his soup plate on day
three, the high point of the meeting and the subject of mirth-filled
e-mails for the coming six months, some token moves on sustainable
development (whatever that means), a few wishy-washy sentences on the
Millennium Development Goals and er...
Now, if the UN General Assembly, many of
its 130-odd world leaders, its 84 heads of state, 41 heads of
government, 11 deputy prime ministers and 65 foreign ministers are going
to spend our taxpayers' money on hot air, let us address the real
issues, without spending a cent.
For a start, President Vladimir Putin
has proved himself a Statesman by using every fibre of his existence and
every drop of his energy by averting another of Washington's
imperialist ventures, for now at least. Perhaps he should be the one
speaking and the representatives of the FUKUS Axis (France-UK-US) should
sit quietly in the front row listening and taking notes before he
passes the word to his fellow leaders of the BRIC bloc.
Secondly, a motion should be tabled
depriving President Obama of his Nobel Peace Prize for insulting the
Institution by being weak, arming terrorists by proxy, lying to his
people and to the world and kowtowing to the lobbies in Washington which
pull his strings, a situation he vowed to er... "change", remember?
Also because his real plans are allegedly to go to war in Syria and then
in Iran. Watch this space. Read his lips as he addresses the meeting
and watch his fingers crossed behind his back as he lies through his
teeth, him or his queen of lies John "There's no al-Qaeda in Syria"
Kerry.
The General Assembly's General Debate
is, and will always be, a joke and an insult to the international
community until the world leaders come together with tangible plans to
address the real issues today at the beginning of the Third Millennium
of the Christian Calendar. One of these is the one point seven trillion
dollars spent each year on weaponry to kill each other, that is one
point seven thousand billion dollars, or in plain numbers,
1,700,000,000,000 USD. If that much money was invested in schemes to
eradicate poverty, provide environmentally clean energy, build schools
and send kids to them, in safety and create water distribution networks
(and let us remember NATO's act of bombing the Libyan water supply and
then strafing the civilian factory making the pipes to repair it, "to
break their backs"). But no. They speak about these things, then
distribute military contracts to their cronies.
Speaking of NATO, why does this
organization exist if the Warsaw Pact was dissolved, and why has NATO
encroached eastwards when it promised it would not? And why does NATO
control the foreign policies of its member states when this area is
enshrined in their Constitutions as being a national and not a
supra-national prerogative? If NATO is unconstitutional in many cases
and is the spider at the centre of the war mongers' web, then we may see
that the military complex which fuels today's wars and distributes
contracts to the lobbies which feed off its teats, is the root of
today's evils.
They will defend the status quo claiming
that this complex creates jobs and maintains economies, but suppose
someone figured out that spending one point seven thousand billion
dollars a year on creating plants to create environmentally friendly
energies, fuelling the backbone of the economy which is civil
construction and not bullets and providing public services would be a
viable alternative?
