United Nations Charter:
A fairy tale for grown-ups
Written July 1993
From time to time we have printed "rib ticklers" or "thigh
slappers" to add a little spice to the dregs of the Laodicean diet. Among
these were to be found such "boffers" as:
"The founding of the United Nations will usher in the
greatest period of peace
the world has ever known" (Truman)
"I said it before, and I will say it again, your boys
will never have to go overseas again
to fight another war" (FDR);
"Integration will do away with violence and hatred, and
usher in social justice"
(any nut speaking on CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, or writing for
Time, Life, or Newsweek).
However, we thought you might like to see one more,
in print--the most hilarious scenario ever written for professional comedians
in this century. It is called The First Book of the United Nations (Franklin
Watts, Inc., N.Y. 1959) and was written by Edna Epstein to be used as a
textbook in the Middle Schools (formerly Junior High Schools) in America.
The writer tells us that "the United Nations is a
mirror of the world as it is" (p. 80). That is, the looking glass (James
1) that God ordained to show you what 'the world was" has been replaced
with an assembly of unsaved politicians. "The United Nations is the
ONLY world organization equipped to deal with differences among nations"
(p. 79). However, they teach there are no differences between races, religions,
or sexes. The "differences" they deal with are, therefore, imaginary. The
UN "helps to keep peace" as "workers for peace and a better world."
This "better world'' under the "peace keeper" sported
forty-two wars as soon as it was founded:
Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cyprus, Crete, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Honduras,
Egypt, Israel, Iraq, Zimbabwe, Iran, Honduras, Greece, Korea, Pakistan,
Ethiopia, Afghanistan, the Chad, Rhodesia, Angola, Bosnia, Serbia, Yugoslavia,
etc.
"One of the main purposes of the United Nations
is to promote human rights and freedoms. Laodicea: the rights of the
people. For the first time in history, the United Nations has worked out
an international definition of the rights of man (p. 56). Since then, every
December 1 0th is known as Human Rights Day (p. 57)."
"Rights" given by WHOM?
Some government? Then a government controls your rights.
It can take any of them away overnight. These "rights" are given by the
UN, apart from God: the right of individuals to "life, liberty, and security..."
(Except in the case of protecting your wife and family, or property
from rapists, robbers, muggers, sex perverts, the IRS, the HRS, and black
mobs that resent jury trials.)
No man in America, or the UN, has the "right" to choose
his business associates, his tenants, or even his employees. No man in
the UN has the right to ignore, or exclude, anyone he doesn't like, from
his own private life. More than toleration is demanded; he is ordered,
under the threat of arrest or fine, to keep company with people he does
not want to keep company with.
With this
in effect, this facsimile of Pogo and Krazy Kat says you have the right
to "associate freely with other people." But you cannot really associate
FREELY at all, for "other people" are defined in the sentence as "you
will associate freely with all people we tell you you have to associate
with."
"This is
also a great accomplishment in the progress of mankind" (p. 57). It
has been practiced in all concentration camps, rehabilitation centers,
jails, penitentiaries, and armies for more than 4,000 years. All there
can "freely associate" with the "other people" who are incarcerated there
with them.
"It has stopped
wars that were already being fought on the battlefield." Forty-five of
them in less than fifty years.
This Fairy
Tale organization that exists for the sole purpose of furnishing realists
some laughs, and for the purpose of soothing the shattered nerves of day
dreamers, has a Charter. The Preamble of the Charter says this:
"We, the people
(see Lenin, Castro, Marx, Lincoln, Mao, et al.)
of the United Nations, determined to save succeeding generations from the
scourge of war [forty-five in less than fifty years]
which twice [World War I and II] has brought
untold sorrow to mankind, reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights" (instead
of God or the Bible) "to promote social progress (drug
traffic, faggot takeover of public school systems, etc.) and better
standards of life (Ethiopia, Somaliland, downtown
New York, Chicago, E. St. Louis, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc.) and
for these ends to...live together in peace with one another as good neighbors"
(Lithuania and Russia, Moldavia and the Ukraine,
Bosnia and Serbia, Laos and Cambodia, Ireland and Ulster, Iraq and Iran,
Israel and Syria, etc.) "...to unite our strength to maintain international
peace [forty-five wars in fifty years] to
ensure...that armed force shall not be used, SAVE IN THE COMMON INTEREST..."
(p. 81).
Therefore,
Kuwait was in the "common interest," the invasion of Afghanistan was in
the common interest, the absolute and complete denial of all civil rights
in Beijing was in the common interest, and the murder of four hundred Protestants
in Ulster by the IRA was in the common interest, plus the killing of fifty-four
people in Los Angeles (because a jury gave a verdict that was not in "the
common interest") was also in the common interest.
Footnote to
the side show: "The power and influence of the United Nations is due
to its prestige as an organization that represents world opinion" as
its "moral authority" (p. 85). Wide-open Mafia drug traffic, international
'terrorism, no checks on adultery, fornication, bestiality, sex perversion,
or pornography, no Biblical convictions, no mention of the Ten Commandments,
no mention of Jesus Christ (or prayer to Him) allowed at any "assembly"
or "council" meeting. The United Nations replaced God as the moral authority.
Then it had the gall to talk about " rights. "
From WHOM?
Man is freely entitled to all of these "goodies,"
is he? Who says so?
Did they read it in a book somewhere? Who wrote the
book?
Was it just an instinct or "feeling" they had about something?
A man has
a "right" to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, does he? Where
did such a ridiculous fairy tale come from? No man in America has those
rights, although they are found in our documents. If your "happiness" depends
upon you disciplining your own children, choosing what school they attend,
and protecting them from sex perverts and jungle culture, how could you
"pursue" it in America?
We recommend
for Side Show of the Year, the United Nations Charter; the funniest piece
of slapstick comedy ever committed to print. For sheer meaningless nonsense
you would have a hard time beating it. Even the nonsense in Cracked and
Mad has some meaning to it. The United Nation's profession of faith is
a minstrel show run by Charlie Chaplin.
