There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States.
~ John Bolton
Prologue to an honorable man
John Bolton was appointed by President George W. Bush as the interim ambassador to the United Nations. Unable to have his nomination overcome a veto-proof majority of 60 votes in the Senate, Bolton served his ambassadorship as a recess appointment from August 2005 to December 2006. Shortly thereafter, Bush and the Republicans saw the Democrats regain both houses of Congress, which effectively forced Bolton to resign his position in December 2006. Presently, Bolton is a writer and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. His latest book, “Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations and Abroad” (2007), is an excellent and informative memoir of his U.N. years.
In my opinion, Bolton is a man of honor. He is one of the few conservatives that place principle above politics. Bolton’s America-first foreign policy worldview can be summarized by this quote: “There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States.”
In my 2008 book, “The Nuremberg Trials: Last Tragedy of the Holocaust,” I was equally emphatic in my disdain and derision of the U.N. I even called the United Nations a “legal fiction” – postulating: how can one have a group of 192 member states under the control of the U.N., yet each country considers itself a “sovereign nation”? It doesn’t make any sense. The U.N. is indeed a legal fiction that, combined with its ever-growing power, makes the globalist international community essentially a cabal of totalitarian states and an enemy to freedom lovers everywhere.
Bolton’s brief tenure as ambassador to the U.N. was best summarized in a 2006 Wall Street Journal op-ed by Claudia Rossett who said, in part, “Bolton has been valiant in his efforts to clean up U.N. corruption and malfeasance, and follow U.N. procedure in dealing with such threats as a nuclear North Korea, a Hezbollah bid to take over Lebanon and the nuclearization of Hezbollah’s terror-masters in Iran. But it has been like watching one man trying to move a tsunami of mud.”
It is this Lincoln-esque aspect of John Bolton I admire most. Bolton doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him. He doesn’t cry on his pillow at night because corrupt U.N. bureaucrats, communist Democrats and socialist Republicans don’t share his ideas that the U.N. is a fatally flawed, anti-Semitic organization that must be obliterated to be adequately reformed.
Indeed, Bolton proved he can see the forest for the trees when he once remarked, “The Secretariat Building in New York has 38 stories. If you lost 10 stories today, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.” Bolton was right on point in that statement, but I would add if we could lose 10 stories, why not all 38? Would to God we had more members of Congress with the gonads to padlock the U.N. building and send all those corrupt, socialist diplomats to the liberal Valhalla at The Hague where they belong.
The shameful legacy of the U.N.
I believe the humanist cancer was there at the origins of the League of Nations founded at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. This group morphed into the United Nations, which was founded at the San Francisco Conference in April 1945. The cancer of globalism and socialism had already metastasized at the Nuremberg Trials seven months later in November 1945, yet the exalted U.N. Tribunal could only bring to trial 177 people – the so-called “plotters and planners” of the Nazi genocide. Historians estimate as many as 50-62 million people were killed directly or indirectly by Hitler’s Nazi madness during World War II. To this day justice has been tragically deferred toward the Jews and others, which make the Nuremberg Trials one of the biggest cover-ups in history.
Is there a man, an organization, a politician, a Congress, a nation with enough vision, clout and resources to bring down the U.N. and place America on the road to become the first nation in the history of the U.N. to voluntarily renounce its membership in this Machiavellian organization – a globalist Leviathan monster whose deadly tentacles reach all the way back to Nimrod?
The United Nations: Nimrod revisited
There are some interesting dichotomies regarding the United Nations and the biblical Nimrod, the world’s first ruler and king of the ancient nation of Babylon where archeologists postulate was the location of both the Garden of Eden and Nimrod’s “Tower of Babel.” It was a subsequent Nimrod, Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, who had meticulously excavated and preserved the Tower of Babel ruins, though ironically he spent most of his life trying to destroy many other nations and ethic groups.
King Solomon once wrote: “There is nothing new under the sun.” The Tower of Babel, just like the U.N. today, was based on the totally fraudulent premises of secularism, humanism, progressivism and socialism; sophistic and inimical ideas that lead directly to rebellion against God and societal chaos like that reigning in the Age of Obama.
Epilogue
I don’t know if John Bolton fully understands the indelible connection of Bible prophecy with U.N. policy in modern times, yet it is self-evident that the globalist, Leviathan U.N. from its origins has been a complete and utter disaster. The U.N. is a veritable clearinghouse for corrupt, Third World, banana republic, communist and socialist bureaucrats. It is an utterly irredeemable international entity that must be totally annihilated or removed to The Hague before it destroys what little sovereignty, freedoms and liberties America still has left.
Will John Bolton use some of his great stature and amassed political capital to take America one step away from the slave chains of the United Nations? We must wait and see.
