Overview
The shocking agenda of an organization more dangerous to America than any terrorist group.
Inspired by FDR, funded by the USA, and safely sheltered on America's hallowed soil, the United Nations was conceived as a neutral, global peacekeeping body. Yet, from almost the day of its genesis, the UN betrayed the nation that empowers and protects it, allowing anti-American thieves and tyrants to corrupt its mandate and its operations.
In this breathtaking exposé, Michael Benson connects far-flung facets of UN history and policy to illustrate a startling point: America is not only harboring its own worst enemy, it is also financing it with taxpayer dollars, bankrolling its own downfall.
Among the revelations in this often terrifying book, Benson shows:
• How the United Nations is developing its own One World Army, in order to enforce their will on a global scale.
• How a State Department study specifically proposed giving the UN taxing power and, ultimately, control of the world.
• How the United Nations called for a new global reserve currency to end dollar supremacy which has "allowed" the United States the "privilege" of building a huge trade deficit.
• How the UN condemns Israel and empowers Hamas and other terrorist groups--the UN's gift to the free world.
• How the UN embraces America-hating dictators like Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Libya's Moammar Gadhafi while condemning America's allies.
Informed by the historical record and the commentary of America's best conservative thinkers, this book paints a stark portrait of this treacherous cabal that gives "neutrality" a bad name.

Chapter One
The Rose-Colored Glasses of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
A generation of Americans growing up during World War II often heard President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) on the radio. During those fireside chats he referred to the countries fighting the Germans and the Japanese not as "the Allies," as newspaper and radio reporters did, but as the "United Nations."
Not long before he died in January 2010, World War II historian and superpatriot H. Paul Jeffers wrote of his impressionable boyhood during the postwar years. He recalled that when the UN was formally organized, he had a small blue-and-white United Nations flag tacked to his bedroom wall.
In high school, Jeffers participated in a "model UN General Assembly" that was put on by the Philadelphia regional high schools at the University of Pennsylvania. When the Security Council convened in its temporary headquarters at Lake Success, New York, to deal with the outbreak of a war in Korea in June 1950, he watched the proceedings on the TV set, with a ten-inch screen, that his father had bought a few years earlier. He felt proud of the United States and the UN for rallying to the plight of the free people of South Korea who were being overrun by a horde of invaders from Communist North Korea.
Not long after the UN moved into its permanent location on New York City's First Avenue, on land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Jeffers joined other students for a guided tour of the headquarters and saw the Security Council chamber on the ground floor of the impressive and im5 posing forty-story office building and the General Assembly's auditorium beneath the dome of an adjoining structure with a majestic sloping roof.
In 1964, as a reporter for ABC Radio News, Jeffers occasionally covered UN meetings and observed public and private expressions of animosity toward the United States because of the conflict in Vietnam, which was labeled by many Third World countries as a colonial war.
The United States was also faulted, he recalled, by Arab nations for its support of Israel. No other issue before the UN, he noticed, contributed more to anti-American sentiment than the conflict between the Arab states and the Jewish state.
Dividing Palestine
Despite a UN decision in 1947 to divide the postwar British mandate in Palestine between Jews and Arabs, an increase in UN membership of Muslim nations resulted in a UN resolution that Zionism, which called for the creation of Israel, was racism.
It was this declaration that turned the UN from its role as a champion of peaceful relations between nations to a pro-Arab body. Because Israel could not survive without American support, the United States was seen not only as an obstacle to Arab desires to eliminate Israel, but as an imperialistic power that was the bulwark of capitalism and a roadblock to worldwide Socialism.
Cold War Fractures
This bulwark or roadblock view flourished as the UN membership list expanded in the decades since World War II, and the globe fractured during the Cold War into three blocs-nations allied with the United States (the West), the Soviet Union and its satellites, and the "uncommitted nations," many of them part of the Third World.
In the post-Cold War era, there was a realignment, and there was a brief euphoric period during which the United States thought its number one enemy was whipped. As it turned out, a new enemy, a slithering and insidious foe not bound by the laws of civilized man, emerged. It was an enemy willing to attack women and children and to hit and run. It was an enemy made strong and united by an extremist interpretation of Islam.
Through an ongoing process, the UN developed into a force that hoped to tip the scale from Right to Left, from West to Middle East, from First to Third World.
A 1986 investigation requested by Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Arlen Specter by the General Accounting Office (now called the Government Accountability Office) confirmed that the UN's public information operations were biased against the United States. A content analysis of materials produced by the UN's Department of Public Information (DPI) found that publications and radio and TV programs frequently opposed key U.S. interests, discussed U.S. policies in a biased manner, and distorted or ignored U.S. purposes at the UN.
Not What FDR Had in Mind
All of this would have come as a shock to the idealistic American president who reportedly envisioned the United States leading the UN into an epoch of world peace and prosperity. In letters dated February 28, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited wartime allies to send delegates to "the United Nations Conference" in San Francisco on April 25, 1945.
He wrote, with his usual run-on abandon, "I feel certain that this important conference bringing together all the United Nations which have so loyally cooperated in the war against their common enemies will successfully complete the plans for an international organization through which the close and continuing collaboration of all peace-loving peoples may be directed toward the prevention of future international conflict and the removal of the political, economic, and social causes of war. I am confident that as a member of the delegation, you would effectively contribute to the realization of the hopes and aspirations of the American people for an international organization through which this nation may play its full part in the maintenance of international peace and security."
Because FDR felt the United States shouldn't belong to any organization it could not control, he made certain that the United States would have veto power in the Security Council, along with the other major powers during World War II-Great Britain, Russia, France, and China.
When representatives of the fifty nations convened in San Francisco to complete the Charter of the United Nations, the result was the establishment of a General Assembly of all member states and a Security Council of five permanent members (with veto power), and six nonpermanent members.
The Charter provided for an eighteen-member Economic and Social Council, an International Court of Justice (ICJ), a Trusteeship Council to oversee certain colonial territories, and a Secretariat under a secretary-general.
The U.S. Senate approved the Charter on July 28, 1945, by a vote of 89 to 2. The United Nations came into existence on October 24, 1945, after twenty-nine nations had ratified the Charter.
Notice, in FDR's world, enemy nations simply were not invited to the party. In 2010, almost seven decades later, the UN consisted of 192 members, almost all of whom had shown antagonism to American policies and resentment toward U.S. economic power.
Roosevelt did not anticipate that the UN's membership would expand through the admission of scores of small, poor nations, few of which were true democracies, nor did he anticipate that the General Assembly would become imbued with far more influence than intended and that the lavishly decorated public rooms, delegate lounges, private chambers for "consultations," ambassadorial offices, and nearby restaurants and cocktail bars would become incubators for anti-American conspiracies.
Good Public Relations
America was slow on the uptake when it came to the foul mess the UN had turned into. The UN's utopian vision appealed to schoolteachers, and the benevolence of the UN was taught in every public school in America. The UN was a symbol for humankind's high evolutionary state, proof that we as a people were more sophisticated than we'd ever been before. But it was a lie.
In some special UN schools, students were taught that the UN was God. And that was a big lie, one we'll get into in depth later on in the chapter titled "International Baccalaureate."
By 1999 journalists were beginning to get the word out. The UN liked to paint itself with a halo over its head. A closer examination always revealed budding horns.
Hotbed for Communists
Some journalists did not believe that the UN started out okay but turned evil. Some thought the UN had been engaging in a reign of terror since its birth. The UN's founders were communists, it was said. The seventeen American men behind the UN's creation were later found to be members of the Communist Party USA. The UN's first secretary-general, Alger Hiss, was later discovered to be a Soviet agent. The UN's secretary-generals over the years were all linked to socialism or communism. When it came to the big decisions, the communists usually won the vote. Even the American employees at the UN were socialists. Red-blooded Americans who were aware of the facts saw the UN as an enemy entity right from the start. Barry Goldwater, the Republican senator and 1964 presidential candidate, said that considering the makeup of the UN, perhaps it would be better if its headquarters were moved out of New York to Moscow or Peking where it belonged.
Enemy of National Sovereignty
The UN, with it utopian vision, didn't believe in countries and borders. It was okay if they took down some of the borders in Europe and elsewhere, established international currency like the Euro, but they seemed to think that American borders didn't matter either-and that was where they crossed the line.
The UN's World Trade Organization (WTO), for example, had usurped the right of nations to determine their own commerce policies by establishing its own foreign commerce policy with more than forty thousand pages of regulations.
For an organization that was supposed to replace bullets with butter, there sure were a lot of UN employees who bore arms and used them to exert military pressure on global sore spots. By the end of the millennium, it was noted that the UN was involved simultaneously in seventeen separate "peacekeeping" missions and employed soldiers representing seventy-seven countries. During the first half century of UN existence, it made war fifty-nine times, a statistic that flew in the face of the peace-loving reputation it was provided when taught in American public schools.
During the 1950s, the UN accepted rules of engagement that made victory in Korea impossible for the United States and South Korea. To tip the scales further, UN spies fed secret information to China and the Soviet Union, shattering General Douglas MacArthur's dream.
During the 1960s when the Soviet army invaded some of its satellite conquests, the UN stayed oddly mum, disinterested in angering the Bear (USSR) that was now firmly in control of Eastern Europe.
In the 1970s, the UN proved that it had no interest in defending human rights. Red China was allowed to replace Nationalist China as a member-Red China that used mass murder as a control mechanism.
During the 1990s, the UN flitted from scale to scale tipping the balance of power in favor of communists and socialists. In Nicaragua anticommunists were disarmed. In Bosnia communists were mixed with Muslims in the power structure.
There have been calls for the United States to quit that tower of secrets on New York's First Avenue and to boot the body off U.S. soil. But here we are, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, and the United States remains.
Helms Startles the World
Back in 2000, Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) startled the world by telling the UN Security Council, "The American people see the UN aspiring to establish itself the central authority of a new international order of global laws and global governance. This is an international order the America people, I guarantee you, do not and will not countenance. The UN must respect national sovereignty in the United States and everywhere else. The UN serves nation-states, not the other way around. This principle is central to the legitimacy and the ultimate survival of the UN, and it is a principle that must be protected." Helms added, "I have received literally thousands of communications from Americans all across the country, expressing their deep frustration with this institution. They know instinctively that the UN lives and breathes on the hard-earned money of the American taxpayers, among others.... They've seen the majority of the UN members routinely voting against America in the General Assembly.... A UN that focuses on helping sovereign nations work together is worth keeping; a UN that insists on trying to impose a utopian vision on America and the world will collapse under its own weight. If the UN respects the sovereign rights of the American people and serves them as an effective tool of diplomacy, it will earn their respect and support. But a UN that seeks to impose its presumed authority on the American people without their consent begs for confrontation and, I want to be candid, eventual U.S. withdrawal."
Thoroughly Infiltrated
For much of the UN's existence, the most powerful and dangerous bloc was the Soviet bloc. After that broke up, the Arab countries stepped in to soak into the UN's very fabric. By 2009 the UN was thoroughly infiltrated by Muslims who might not be radicalized themselves but who would exclusively side with the radicalized Muslims over anything Jewish, Christian, or secular. Agents of the Muslim world lurked in every shadow of the UN building, undercover, some with Western backgrounds, white skin, and Christian names. One man with a Christian-sounding name who worked at the UN had, in a previous incarnation, been a speechwriter and advisor for two of the world's most dangerous Middle Eastern bad guys.
The proof of the Islamic bloc's power in the UN was how reluctant the representatives of the Western powers were to say anything that might upset the Muslim nations and their supporters.
Take the Arab slave trade, for example. According to David Littman of the Association for World Education, this problem was "one of the best-documented historical phenomena in the field of slavery and without which the various Arab empires could never have been maintained." Yet from the UN there was silence.
Sure Western delegates discuss the slave trade among themselves, in the privacy of a pub or on the street. But with members of the Islamic bloc around, they keep their lips buttoned. They wouldn't dare to say anything about President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan who was indicted by the non-UN International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague and charged with the "murder, torture, and rape of the people of Darfur." They wouldn't dare mention that, despite the indictment and the genocidal nature of his crimes, al-Bashir was welcomed at Arab League meetings in Qatar. Western elites, the same hidden government that had dreamed up the UN in the first place, were now scared to upset the aggressive and dangerous radicals who had infested the UN.
The Invisible Hand
Though the degeneration of the UN into its current despicable state is well documented, understanding the birth of the organization requires an alternative history-a hidden component not available in your high school textbooks-or doctoral thesis as well. History is all about connecting the dots, and you've got FDR, the man with the vision, and John D. Rockefeller, who "donates the land for UN headquarters." And you see that high-degree Freemasons had their fingers on the UN's buttons-at least at first. Clandestine meetings were all-important in the UN's history. There were also organizations that didn't make it into official history books, secret organizations, some fraternal, some paramilitary. Their underground machinations birthed the UN.
The most powerful secret society involved in the UN's creation was the Illuminati, the superiors who shed the light by which the rest of the world could see. They were presumed to be ancient in origin, and their legendary myths substantiate that. But their existence could be traced with journalistic assurance only to Bavaria in 1776 and the organizational activities of law professor Adam Weishaupt.
The leak of information from Weishaupt's organization gave the world its first glimpse of the Illuminati-men who claimed to command superhuman knowledge. Their intelligence was granted to them by a mysterious "higher source."
