The United Nations claims that it exists to bring peace and solve the world’s problems. Instead, its diplomats lounge around Manhattan restaurants, its ‘peacekeepers’ sexually abuse kids and cover for terrorists, and the moment that they are faced with an actual crisis… flee.
Haiti should be the leading candidate for a UN fixer-upper, but everything the United Nations has done only made things worse.
And now the UN is fleeing.
A United Nations helicopter has been buzzing nonstop for days over Haiti, as the U.N. starts to draw down its personnel in Port-au-Prince, evacuating 14 people at a time in chopper rides.
The UN has no better plan for evacuating its personnel than a single chopper. Perfect.
The U.N. has one helicopter that seats 14 people and can make five trips to the northern city of Cap Haitien in a day.
But when much of the money gets spent on useless bureaucrats, there’s only one helicopter left to evacuate the suckers on the ground.
The United Nations, which before the capital’s airport closed had about 300 employees working for in 18 different agencies, including the World Food Program, UNICEF and the International Agency for Migration, said it would move workers to its offices in safer parts of the country outside of Port-au-Prince. But dozens more staff members assigned to the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti — the political mission known as BINUH — were evacuated from the country.
Of course they were, the politicals are always higher status. And the UN is political.
Those employees, who are involved in police, human rights, justice and other programs, were flown to the northern city of Cap Haitien by helicopter, where they departed the country because there were no other offices outside the capital where they could work, U.N. officials said.
“Police.”
“The U.N. is not leaving Haiti; we are committed to staying in Haiti,” Ms. Richardson said. “We want to accelerate and intensify humanitarian aid in Haiti. It requires ingenuity and creativity.”
Ignore the chopper. The UN is accelerating ingenuity and creativity.
Nations around the world are looking to the U.N. as the only viable solution for a troubled country that has been unraveling since its last president was assassinated more than three years ago.
The U.N. Security Council met for several hours last week to debate whether to start an official peacekeeping operation, despite a history of failed U.N. interventions in the Caribbean nation.
Here’s a better solution. Shut down the UN, use the money to buy food and airdrop it on Haiti.
Graham Greene (of all people) wrote about the uselessness of UN Peacekeepers already in his book “Ways of Escape). In a section about his experiences near the Suez Canal after the 1973 War I think, unfortunately I no longer have a copy of the book so I can’t give the page numbers (maybe around page 200 or so?) Beautiful writing though.
To answer the question posed in the title, I’d say the DNC is right up there.
Altho’, I don’t take DNC helmets to the range with me for training and practice.
Name a more useless organization than the UN….. ummmmm…. Congress?
” Name an organization more useless than the U.N ” THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!!!
The department of education
A oranazation more useless then the UN? many Liberal groups out there Gun Control Climate Change Animal Rights but the UN is still the Worlds #1 Useless Groups around that’s why UN means Useless Nations
A picture of my favorite target. The hole is a little small.
AND WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO……….?
the clintons alone looted $500K from Haiti.
Two greed-driven parasite lawyers!
The United Nations isn’t united by any stretch of the imagination and it’s effectiveness in keeping world peach has been a resounding big fat ZERO. It should go the way of The League of Nations that preceded it.
More useless than the UN? UK Labour Party.
