Podesta speaks out on Brown-Bolton Flap
2006-06-09
Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations Mark Malloch Brown yesterday delivered remarkably candid remarks before a conference sponsored by our two organizations in which he called for greater U.S. leadership in strengthening the United Nations — leadership which is clearly lacking. Mr. Malloch Brown’s comments revealed an understandable frustration with the current lack of U.S. support for the world’s premier international organization.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John R. Bolton reacted to the speech by calling it “the worst mistake by a senior U.N. official that I have seen.” In typical fashion, Bolton responded with a threat: “To have the Deputy Secretary General criticize the United States in such a manner can only do harm to the United Nations.”

Thoughtful and objective readers will agree that Mr. Malloch Brown’s remarks do not merit the bomb-throwing invective typical of our nation’s current “diplomat” to the United Nations; indeed, John Bolton sadly proves Mr. Malloch Brown’s point.

#6  The 400 lb gorilla that these Tranzis carefully ignore is that it isn't that we changed or moved away from the UN ideal, the UN moved away from us. The kleptocrats, scam artists, so-called NAM and Group of 77, duplicitous assholes in power in France, the congenitally fucked triangulaters of Russia and China, et al, hijacked the institution.

Podesta's just another Tranzi tool earning his skim.

It's dead Jim.

#4  The light bulb went off for me, too. I got out an old book, Call It Conspiracy, by Larry Abraham, and it puts the founders and directors of our nation's most powerful institutions, both past and present, as coincidentally also being often members of Skull & Bones and the CFR. Henry Kissinger, Henry Luce, Prince Bernhard, Allen Greenspan, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Standard Oil, Chase Manhattan Bank, and other financial dynasties are supposedly all in cahoots to run the world. Supposedly the Rockefellers and Rothchilds arranged rebates on oil, shipped on their railroads, traded with the Communists as far back as the Bolshevik Revolution, and still managed to fuel Hitler's war machine to bank enormous profits. Nelson Rockefeller was supposedly the architect of appeasement and accomodation of the Communists, and have profited from war ever since, supplying both sides, but they are always 'win-win' deals. Abraham contends "Jimmy Carter was David Rockefeller's creation", which somehow makes the conspiracy quite plausible for me. Rockerfeller is also the founder of the Trilateral Commission. If that doesn't explain it all, the Rockefeller's donated land for the UN building, too, as well as compensating and relocating Palestinians when Israel was formed. That many of these same guys are at the Bilderberger gathering and members of these other groups struck me as too much of a coinky-dink as well. They've made a fine mess of things and FOX exposed it, confounding the NYT's and other MSM they control.
And Bolton is frustrating them????? How about John Bolton for President 2008?

#2  "an institution that can help achieve U.S. national security goals"

I thought he was writing about the UN; who's he talking about in this sentence?


"It will drive them bonkers"

Whaddaya mean "will drive," NS? Future tense is unnecessary - they're already bonkers.
