Perpetual War -- Unending Terror.(United Nations)

A photographic history of the United Nations

The United Nations, we have been told, is the world's "last, best hope for peace." Peaceful resolution of conflicts and harmony among nations are noble aspirations shared by all decent people. The UN, though, has been an utter failure as a vehicle to bring about world peace. Hundreds of wars have afflicted humanity since the world body's founding in 1945. Inter-state warfare, guerrilla insurrections, and terrorism continue to claim their bloody toll: Civilian casualties; hideous atrocities; and even genocides. Nevertheless, the UN persists in its claim to represent a world in which humanity is spared "the scourge of war."

As the following overview will illustrate, the goal of the UN is not peace, but rather the creation of an international socialist regime. To achieve this goal, the UN and its supporters work tirelessly under the banner of world peace to equip the world body with totalitarian powers. As you will see, this will not pave the way for a peaceful world, but only allow for more violence, more terror, and more oppression.

The first attempt to create an international body based on the principle of "collective Security' came in the aftermath of World War I. President Woodrow Wilson (center) championed the creation of the League of Nations. But as political cartoons of the era indicate (top left/top right), America was not yet ready to abandon its sovereignty and destroy the Constitution -- which was the asking price of "global peace" under the League. The failure of the internationalist principle to prevent World War II demonstrated the inherent flaw of the "collective security" concept. But as World War II drew to a close and a victorious America celebrated the defeat of the totalitarian Axis powers, a war-weary public was receptive to the promise of "global peace" put forth by the newly formed United Nations Organization. The UN's founding conference in San Francisco (far right) laid the foundation for a global body that could enforce the principles of international socialism in the name of "peace." As America signed on the do tted line (right), a key architect of the UN stood in the background -- State Department official Alger Hiss, who was secretary-general of the UN's founding conference and a co-author of the UN Charter. It was later revealed that Hiss was a traitor -- an agent in the employ of the totalitarian Soviet regime.

The "Cold War' between the capitalist West and the Communist Soviet Bloc dominated the early decades of the UN. Communist powers such as Soviet Russia, China, and Cuba exported revolution and expanded their domination over satellite nations without opposition from the UN. In fact, the UN General Assembly readily extended membership to Soviet-dominated puppet states, and the General Assembly hall resounded with support for Communist insurgencies worldwide. Former UN Secretary-General U Thant praised founding Soviet dictator V.I. Lenin in 1970, saying that Lenin's "ideals of peace and peaceful coexistence ... are in line with the aims of the UN charter." Lenin's concept of "peace" was world socialism, secured through terror and subversion.

Lenin's successor, Josef Stalin (top left), who hailed the UN as "a serious instrument for preservation of peace and international security," ruled a criminal state that killed tens of millions of its subjects and imprisoned tens of millions more in the gulag prison camp system. Millions of Chinese were slaughtered by the Communist regime headed by Mao Tse-tung (top center). Like every Communist dictatorship, Mao's regime eliminated political opposition by publicly torturing and executing civilian dissidents (bottom right). In 1971, the UN General Assembly evicted the government of Free China from its ranks, replacing it with a delegate from Mao's regime. Pro-Communist UN delegates cheered as the Free Chinese delegate was ushered out of ...
