Introduction
America and the world stand on the brink of one of the most perilous epochs in this planet’s history.
According to the purveyors of conventional wisdom, communism is dead, the Cold War is over, and the
greatest threats to world peace and security are rampant nationalism, inequitable wealth distribution,
overpopulation, and environmental degradation. Yet the threat to a just world peace and comity among
nations and peoples comes not from political fragmentation, ozone holes, greenhouse gases, an over-
abundance of people, a shortage of natural resources, or even from the frequently offered scenarios o
"rogue" elements in the former USSR acquiring control of nuclear weapons.
The true, imminent danger to America and to all nations seeking peace and good will stems from
widespread acceptance of the monstrous falsehood that in order to live in an "interdependent" world, all
nation-states must yield their sovereignty to the United Nations. This lie is given dignity by other lies,
chief of which is that Soviet totalitarianism has been buried forever.1 A too wide acceptance of these
dangerous falsehoods is resulting in: 1) a massive transfer of wealth from the taxpayers in the West to
the still-socialist governments of the East that remain under the control of "former" communists; 2) the
gradual but accelerating merger or "convergence" of the U.S. and Russia through increasing economic,
olitical, social, and military agreements and arrangements; and 3) the rapidly escalating transfer o
ower — military, regulatory, and taxing — to the UN. Unless the fiction underlying these
developments is exposed, national suicide and global rule by an all-powerful world government are
inevitable.
"The Bush Administration," Time magazine noted on September 17, 1990, "would like to make the U.N.
a cornerstone of its plans to construct a New World Order."2 That observation merely stated the
obvious. In his speech to the nation and the world on September 11, 1990, Mr. Bush stated: "Out o
these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge...." He proceeded to
announce his hopes for "a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders."3 It became
abundantly clear to veteran students of "world order" politics that a major new push for world
government had begun. Only a few years ago, any such attempt would have flopped miserably. During
the 1970s and 80s, the UN’s record as an enclave of spies, a sinkhole of corrupt spendthrifts, and an
anti-American propaganda forum for terrorists, Third World dictators, and Communist totalitarians, ha
thoroughly tarnished its carefully manufactured image as mankind’s "last best hope for peace."
From 1959, when the UN could boast an 87 percent approval rating, the annual Gallup Poll showed a
continuous decline in popularity for the organization. By 1971, a Gallup survey reported that only 35
ercent of the American people thought the UN was doing a good job. By 1976, Gallup claimed that the
support had dropped to 33 percent. In 1980, it declined further to an all-time low of 31 percent. "At no
oint since [1945]," said Dr. Gallup referring to his latest figures, "has satisfaction with the overall
erformance of the world organization been as low as it is today."4 The John Birch Society’s long and
frequently lonely billboard, bumper sticker, petition, letter-writing, and pamphleteering educational
campaigns to "Get US out! of the United Nations" had made good sense to many Americans.
In the early years of the Reagan Administration, UN-
ashing became positively respectable, even
fashionable. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Jeane Kirkpatrick could be seen and heard almost daily
denouncing the world body’s anti-Americanism, tyranny promotion, and fiscal profligacy. Editorials
opposing UN actions and the organization itself began appearing with frequency in local and regional
newspapers, and occasionally even in major national news organs.
Anti-UN sentiment had already reached the point in 1981 that veteran UN-watcher Robert W. Lee could
