#14  CI - Good post.

Everything in the world has become irrevocably politicized... and all actions have consequences - both intended and otherwise. The UN's track record sucks like an F5 - and it's finally getting the recognition it deserves in the full glare of the spotlights.

One of the things that differentiates posters is whether or not they "get it" and recognize that instant gratification isn't likely - or even possible due to realpolitik. A rant is one thing - a satisfying application of Brain Ex Lax. But actually demanding an immediate end (or beginning) to this or that because it gets one's panties in a bunch, and not recognizing it as a rant, the IWWIWWIWI* Three Yr Old's War Cry, is just idiocy. Everything is incremental - it's just the timespan and the POV of the individual that determines how it's viewed.

The UN is on its way to the bone yard, IMHO. It took one hell of a scandal to put the first good crack in the facade and break through the myth perp'ed by the usual suspects, but with the OFF Scam, they outdid themselves and made it possible. The crack is there and growing wider. Even the total assholes of the MSM are finding it difficult to ignore and know they'd better "cover it" (literally, heh) so they can put the best spin on the situation -- putting lipstick on the pig, so to speak.

But now the politics that kept this monstrosity and utterly failed 2nd-pass experiment alive have turned - and it will be politics that finally puts it out of our misery. It's a funny thing about politics (not), but once the worm turns, it's definitely downhill from there and it will accelerate.

The League of Nations failed. The UN has failed. The epitaph has already been written (No Greater Greed...), the plot and headstone ordered. Beat it like a drum and it will certainly die. Just a matter of time - and how much it can steal on the way out.

Just my $0.02 take.

#13  Of course the Diplomad is right. We all know how MOST suits are. Can you just imagine being with some top dog at the UN for just 24 or 48 hours. An organization like the UN with no one to answer to? Money just keeps pouring in and no matter how badly you mishandle the situation you have no worry of being held accountable.

I have this vision...tens of thousands of Americans marching on the UN demanding the pieces of shit (turds I guess) to get the hell out of our country. Now that would be news. The blogasphere would be heating up and melting. Maybe someday we will have enough even if our elected leaders believe they must continue to believe they have to fake like the UN really matters...

#9  who sez you ain't right, Mrs D? (%)]

you should really read it, Mike. The fact that you don't allows you to sustain your current world-view

#8  Odd, I have the same impression when I read some of the commenters here, regardless of the time of day.

I don't read his blog. It seems to me he was very drunk when he wrote this particular article. Is this typical?

#6  Facts are far more damaging than rants and name-calling.

#5  There is a distinct possibility that Diplomad may be closer to the truth than most of us are willing to accept.

#4  I understand his ranting. Sometimes one has to open the valve and let some steam off. The only problem with his blog is that it lacks some good moonbats & trolls hunters.

#3  I dunno 'bout this post -- love the Diplomad but seems like he's suffering battle fatigue and needs more sleep. He's much more effective in the cause when he provides fact-based inside dirt. Leave ranting to the blogosphere. We need Diplomad as an expert observer who undermines the MSM's bullshit with firsthand reporting of facts.

#1  "in fact, we've found that to avoid running into the UN, we must go out to where the quake and tsunami actually hit"

Chief Diplomad rocks.

"...I decided that, no, labeling them mafiosos or mercenaries was much too kind. They seemed more to be the progeny resulting from a mating between a mad oracle and a giant carrion-eater. They were akin to some sort of ancient mythical Greco-Roman-Aztec-Wes Craven-Egyptian-bird-god that demands constant sacrifice and feeding, and speaks in riddles which only it can solve. Yes, I decided, the UNocrats are great hideous vultures, roused from their caves in the European Alps and in the cement canyons and peaks of Manhattan by the stench of death in the Turd World. They leisurely take flight toward the smell of death; circle, and then swoop down, screeching UNintelligble nonsense. They arrive and immediately force others, e.g., the American tax payer, to build them new exclusive nests in the midst of poverty, and make themselves fat on the flesh of the dead. My friends, allow The Diplomad to present to you The High Priest Vulture Elite (HPVE)."

I am in awe.


"Who are the victims? Well, of course, the tax payers of the First World come immediately to mind. But really, after all, for us it's just money. Money comes and goes. The big victims of the HPVE are the world's poor countries who pay with the lives of their children; who get diverted by HPVE mumbo jumbo and its promises of aid and technical assistance from taking actions to develop their own countries and fend off the HPVE."

Kill it. Kill it now.
