UNITED NATIONS GO HOME !
Libya will pay for any extra expense the move entails.
by Henk Ruyssenaars
FPF-30 Sept. 2004 - In an eloquent speech, which was hardly covered by the mainstream media in the United States and it's global offspring, the Libyan Minister for Foreign Affairs - Mohammed Abdel-Rahman Shalgam* the day before yesterday said "the United Nations should hold its 60th anniversary General Assembly session in Geneva next year, rather than at its New York headquarters.
"And Libya will even pay for it", minister Shalgam said.
From an objective point of view, the minister is right: the 'League of Nations' should never have moved from the 'more or less neutral' Switzerland and Geneva, to New York and the blackmailing US with it's 'United Nations organization', being all the time more forced and shaped into a collaborating fig leaf for American foreign policy disasters. [ US wars:

[ Like the all the time democratically elected Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, and many others who are endangered:

Viscount Cecil, present at the end as at the beginning, marked the transition with the words:
'The League is dead. Long live the United Nations'*
But already wo years ago, one of Canada's best critical writers, Paul Harris, declared the UN dead: "The United Nations has finally died." he wrote.

How the US's blackmail of the UN is done, most people which have any experience of this global farce, do know very well by repetition. It's 'Catch 22' all over: the US, whenever it needs to, accuses the UN of 'inefficiency'.
The reason is always the same: the US withholds it's annual contribution, with the result that the UN can not work efficiently. For which it than is blamed by the US Gov't, which again therefore withholds most of the money that is absolutely necessary for the United Nations to work properly...
It is a disgusting combination of a vicious circle and US-Israeli policy-making, at the cost of most of the other 189 countries in the United Nations. That too is why the world now has turned itself for the most against the United States government: the US and Israel foment terrorism. The people do not, they just want to live in peace, everywhere. And that means justice too.
For so called 'Westerners', this Bush-disaster has made the world a very small place to live or travel in, and very insecure for all Americans, British, Isralis and their ilk: the collaborating so called allies, like the cowardly Dutch. [

Spying on the United Nations
Another way to keep the 189 other countries in the UN on a leash, is to tap all communications, and spy as much as the UK-US-Israeli services and their illegal 'corporate warriors' are able to.
Everything is allowed except getting caught, but it happened again: exposed was the U.S.-UK-Israeli spying on countries on the U.N. Security Council, aimed at securing authorization for the illegal war on Iraq:

The Libyan minister also said Libya deserves a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, but he made the mistake to propose former U.S. President Bill Clinton to serve on a new panel to solve the world's conflicts and wars. Good' ol' Clinton is not at all as innocent as he looks sometimes: Url.:
http://tinyurl.com/4js27 Like almost every speaker this year, Shalgam called for expansion of the 15-member Security Council, which once imposed sanctions on Tripoli after the 1988 bombing of a Pan American airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland. A total of 270 people died, and Libya was framed as Roger Rabbit: both concerning Lockerbie as well as concerning the bombing of the Berlin discothèque 'La Belle'.* The by the US-Gov't promised 'White Book' containing all the evidence of Libya's guilt - which was asked for by European governments - was never published. It were all 'Fake Flag' operations.
[Fake flags:
http://tinyurl.com/6d5zz ] And Gadaffi and Libya was - via the media and without checking - permanently blamed for most of the evils in the world, while the US and Israel secretly grew into the two worst terrorist states on earth.
Justice is Dead
Even the official UN-observer at the Lockerbie trial in the Netherlands - Kofi Annan's special envoy Prof. Hans Koechler - called the US/UK-framing in the so-called Scottish Court in 'Camp Zeist' "a miscarriage of justice".*
The verdict in the Lockerbie case is a sham, and all the hundreds of $-millions - now to be paid by 'the responsibility accepting Libya' is extorted money, allowing Libya to buy it's way back into the international trade and travel fold: not being the 'pariah' anymore which the US/UK and their malicious allies made it.

Dead Dutch Justice too
As a Dutchman, I'm very much ashamed about the respective right wing Dutch governments, always completely and slavishly following the US/UK orders, not ever protesting against the permanent rape of international law. Nobody on government level - not even in the dutch judiciary - ever protested this glaring 'miscarriage of justice'. This branch of the Dutch government, with the power to resolve legal conflicts that arise between citizens, between citizens and governments, or between levels of government, kept - and keeps - silent about this gross injustice , shaming all of us. And being 'Guilty by association'.
In the Netherlands the 'National News Agency' (ANP) and almost all of the media are in the hands of the 'State'. Meaning the embezzling multinationals like Royal Dutch SHELL and AHOLD; which pocketed their politicians, armed forces and 'journalists' a long time ago. Nearly all investigative and critical journalism lies in coma since two decades. And alas, now one of the people most needed in present day journalism in Holland is gone.
Yesterday one of the best Dutch journalist/correspondents ever, died at 79: 'Grand Old Journalist Man' Willem Oltmans, who held the same view of dutch journalism as undersigned, after living abroad among others for 40 years in the US. The previous Dutch right wing governments tried to silence him in many ways, but he won in the end. The present Dutch government is a right wing disaster, "Starving the Beast' wherever they can, and the media again not informing the people who pay for the fraudulent feast.
Oltman's much needed honest voice will be sorely missed.
Like in the States the fish, the dutch herring also has started rotting at the head a long time ago: Holland is the bad side of 'America half asleep'...and has for decades secretly paid much taxmillions and given - also secret - military help in for instance boycotting Libya, supporting Israel in it's Holocaust of the Palestinians and the genocides by the United States governments in Afghanistan and even in the illegal war on Iraq.
[Dutch warcriminals in Court:
http://tinyurl.com/662pp ] The ill informed (16+million) Dutch people, pay the next highest taxes in the world (after nr. 1 Sweden) but - getting only a small part of the promised in return - are permanently paying all those fraudulent crooks and taken for a ride But they are - like many americans - not knowing about it, because the mainstream dutch industry-media leave them out in the numbing and dumbing cold.
The Netherlands Journalists Union (!) NVJ, is part of the game.
Be seated...
''Libya deserves to have a permanent seat,'' minister Shalgam also said, and listed several achievements by his country, such as abandoning its weapons of mass destruction last year.
[ A typical US' PsyOp fake: Libya had 'NO' WMD's ]
And, about reforming the United Nations, Gaddafi will soon address the UN move more fully on his Web-site:
http://www.algathafi.org/Index_e.htm Shalgam emphasized that the world had to deal with the root causes of terrorism as well as combating it.
''If we want to eliminate terrorism, we must eliminate its causes and not simply pursue its operation,'' he said.
'As for oil, if we want oil supplies to be stable and its prices steady, we should keep wars and potential conflicts away from oil fields.''
