United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has been refreshing by the standards of the UN in occasionally saying forthright things. It’s a low bar but we are talking about a position usually occupied by corrupt third world bureaucrats looking to parlay their office into bribes for enabling sanctions violations, but when Guterres says these things, it’s just a reminder that he and the UN are wasting everyone’s time.
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said he has “no power at all,” ahead of the U.N.’s General Assembly yearly meeting.
When asked in an interview with CNN about the executive power he holds in the meeting, Guterres said, “No power at all.”
“The secretary of the United Nations has no power and there’s no money,” Guterres continued. “What we have is a voice and that voice can be loud and I have the obligation to make it be loud.”
The UN might have once aspired to be a world government, but now it’s just an umbrella group of NGOs that is international in the sense that they bribe foreign countries to join whatever agenda is on the table. A lot of bad things, from climate plans to bug eating, go out under the UN label, but it’s all just an extension and interweaving of everything from the Ford Foundation to the Soros network to European groups you’ve never heard of because they don’t have much of a presence here. This is what some people call globalism and others call the Left: an international conclave of nonprofit groups and governments seeking to ‘transform’ the world according to the dictates of its ideology.
What’s the role of the UN Secretary General in this arrangement? Mainly, he’s the guy out front. Nobody cares about his voice. And if he had any integrity, he’d step down. But you can’t have any integrity and work for the United Nations. The UN has a lot of money, it all goes to the usual places, and the power that Guterres wields is the ability to keep the scam going.
He gives bad advice in a loud voice.
He’s a blowhard.
Banjo Boys’ grandfather/uncle was the socialist dictator of Portugal (and Shimon Peres’ BFF) before he started pocketing UN money.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We’d be much better off, fiscally and/or otherwise, if we’d boot each country’s UN delegates back to their home country and convert the building into high-end apartments and condos with the rent going towards the national debt. Sure, these monies would be merely a drop in the proverbial bucket, but with mid-town Manhattan apartments averaging $4129/mo, at least we’d be making money off the UN building instead of continually losing it.
The UN is an idea whose time has past; a king that was never crowned telling kingdoms what to do (using the peasant’s own money), with as much antisemitism packed into one building as they could muster up.
That’s a good idea. Rent the building out to tenants.
And $4129 a month for an apartment? Holy crap. I thought the $2200 i pay for my studio apartment is expensive.
I’ve been saying, for about 20 years, that the Mayor of New York should invoke Kelo vs. New London, and get the U.N. off those 18 acres of centrally located, river-view Manhattam real estate
I had a friend, with plenty of integrity, who worked for the U.N. as a secretary
So why don’t the whole rotten and Corrupt UN move to Moscow without America to finance t hem we can do without these vultures in our Nation
“I don’t care what he says, but he should step down!” Ok, Daniel.
“a position usually occupied by corrupt third world bureaucrats looking to parlay their office into bribes for enabling sanctions violations.” This is baseless slander. As ever, you show no sign of a moral compass.
As ever, you’re an immoral hypocrite who defends corruption and evil.
I’m willing to contribute $1,98 to put a permanent padlock on the door.
The world and nyc would be better without the un.
Dan, I’ve seen nothing on FP about the African invasion of the UK, Ireland, and Europe. Why the silence?
As someone with family ties to Ireland and the UK I agree.
