The Diplomad Blog
Posted by Raven on November 24th, 2004
This is an excellent blog that has enlightening posts. The author-or authors-(claim to) work at the State Dept. and have interesting insight and analysis on modern day topics. I have added them to my list of links.
From today:
We at The Diplomad are here to ask you to forget all that misty-eyed blather. Our Diplomads have served at the UN, in New York, Vienna and Geneva, and worked with the UN in a variety of other posts, and can tell you from experience that the UN is a massive, expensive hoax that needs to be ended once and for all.
Those who don’t rely on the “elite” MSM for all their information, know about the UN’s “oil-for-food” scam that is slowly being uncovered, and could prove the most massive financial scandal in human history (even bigger than Massachusetts’ “Big Dig.”) The “oil-for-food” scam, huge as it is, flows logically from the ruling ethos at the UN. The UN system is built on corruption, on the principle of the shake-down; whatever lofty objectives might have existed at its creation, for the UN corruption now provides the means and reason to exist.
Let us explain.
The UN as an institution is the purest of pure bureaucracy: it is the thirty-year single malt of bureaucracies. We refer you to the UN website for details on careers there, but suffice it to say that if you want a job that is VERY well-paying, has lots of perks (first class travel; a generous pension; right to retire almost anywhere you want; tax free), and involves little actual work, the UN bureaucracy is for you — unfortunately, if you’re an American (or Israeli) you’ll have a hard time getting it given the solid anti-Americanism (and anti-Semitism) of the UN Secretariat. The UN bureaucracy must have served as inspiration for a sci-fi story we vaguely recall about an ancient civilization that builds an elobrate machine that continues to operate even after the civilization itself has died. Subsequent generations — in this case, in Europe and the boardroom of the NY Times — have no idea what the machine does, but don’t tamper with it, and, in fact, begin to worship it.
Well, we know the secret of the UN bureaucracy machine. It exists to exist. To do that it has going one of the best scams imaginable. While most media and ordinary folks focus on the occasionally contentious UNSC resolutions and debates on Iraq or Iran, in fact, 99% of UN “work” has nothing to do with such high-visibility issues. No, it deals with scores, hundreds, in fact, of resolutions passed every year in the UN General Assembly, its main Committees, and in bodies such as the Human Rights Commission. It lives off those resolutions.
You’ll have to go to the blog itself to get the rest of this. Excellent stuff here!
