WHO IN AMERICA HELPED ORGANIZE THE UNITED NATIONS?
While there were any number of American individuals involved in the creation of the United Nations, Alger Hiss was undoubtedly the man who was most involved in helping draft the UN Charter and lay out the basic procedures for the design and implementation of this world organization.
ALGER HISS Hiss, Alger (born 1904), U.S. lawyer, born in Baltimore, Md.;
held important positions in U.S. Department of State; convicted of perjury 1950 for having
denied he passed Department of State secrets to a Communist courier; sent to prison 1951;
released 1954. Comptons Living Encyclopedia
Hiss, a former State Department aide, asked for and obtained a hearing before the committee. He made a favorable impression, and the case would then have been dropped had not Nixon urged investigation into Hiss's testimony on his relationship with Chambers.
The committee let Nixon pursue the case behind closed doors. He brought Chambers and Hiss face to face. Chambers produced evidence proving that Hiss had passed State Department secrets to him. Among the exhibits were rolls of microfilm which Chambers had hidden in a pumpkin on his farm near Westminster, Md., as a precaution against theft. On Dec. 15, 1948, a New York federal grand jury indicted Hiss for perjury. After two trials he was convicted, on Jan. 21, 1950, and sentenced to five years in prison. The Hiss case made Nixon nationally famous. Comptons Living Encyclopedia
This is the man who was America's leading architect in the drafting of the United Nations Charter. Knowing this helps one understand how America agreed to have the UN Undersecretary for Political and Security Council Affairs (the individual who is in control of UN military forces) always be from the Soviet Union or the Soviet block of countries.
We have read the UN Charter and we, too, would have voted against it.
"UN agencies now employ 51,000 people and spend $10.5 billion per year. There is NO oversight on how this organization spends its money, but everyone knows the waste is appalling. During the Somalia operation, UN agencies were spending $1 million per day on air conditioned villas! . . .
"In the Geneva headquarters, there are 9,000 people employed who host 300 United Nations
conferences per year! (That's one per day!) The average mid-level bureaucrat earns $75,000 per
year, plus added perks such as housing, allowances, diplomatic plates and he works TWO
HOURS PER DAY! They pay NO TAXES! Even Boutras (squared) Ghali has been quoted as
saying 'half of them (the UN bureaucrats) do nothing.'" Ibid.
THEY PAY NO TAXES BUT NOW THEY ARE WANTING TO TAX US to help pay for their extravagances.
A few years back William F. Jasper, senior editor of The New American magazine was on the Marlin Maddoux "Point of View" radio program and warned us that a global tax was on the way from the UN. People laughed. Today they are not laughing, as Boutros Boutros-Ghali is calling for several forms of international taxation. For example:
Do not make the mistake of thinking these taxes would not effect you. But even of greater significance is the power that such taxation would give to the United Nations. Someone has said, "The right to tax is the right to destroy." The name of the author eludes me at the moment, but the truth of the statement is self-evident.
We are all too familiar with the reputation of the IRS for high-handedness in its dealings with the American people, and this in a nation where the people at least have the recourse of the voting booth. Imagine an international IRS that is accountable to no higher authority! Do we really want to unleash such a monster on mankind?
