Bank is, in fact, a U.N.
organization and under it three sub-operations; the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Finance
Corporation and the International Center for the Settlement of
Disputes. All are located in the sprawling and highly political innerbeltway of Washington, D.C. where U.S. currency printing operations
are nearby.
    The U.N. continues to maintain its standing army of “Peacekeepers”.
This global army currently has troops patrolling trouble spots in 117
countries. The U.N.’s peacekeepers are supported by more than 5,800
civilian staff members and the local civilian operations employ another
14,000. The annual budget for the U.N.’s standing army is more than
$2 billion a year, again with America paying the largest percentage of
the annual bill.
At any given year, the annual meeting of the General Assembly can
create “special funds” which the U.N. bills to its members. Therein lies
a major problem that our government has complained about for
decades—oversight. Essentially, there is none. The U.N. operates
with no public records and there is no U.N. Freedom of Information
Act. Requests for operating information and budget details are routinely denied. Litanies of corruption scandals over the years, involving
the U.N. and the Peacekeeper’s army, have never been detailed.
During the George W. Bush presidency, America’s dynamic U.N.
Ambassador John Bolton broke the U.N. code of silence and released
447 documents containing thousands of pages of secret insider information. The revelations were startling:
• Bribes paid to local officials after the devastating tsunami in
Indonesia.
• Sex crimes reported against U.N. Peacekeepers serving in the
Gaza Strip.
• DuringthewarinKosovo,bribeswerepaidtoalocalU.N.offi-

American U.N. officials were also part of the scandals. Jacques Paul
Klein, a U.S special representative to Liberia in Africa, quit his post
in April of 2005. During the Bosnia War, his heavy-handed approach
to his U.N. duties earned him the nickname “The Bully of Bosnia”.
President Bush had transferred Klein from Bosnia to Liberia where
he struck up a relationship with a local woman who turned out to be
a spy. An investigation into Klein showed he and his girlfriend used
United Nation’s aircraft as their private jets to attend U.N. parties and
conferences all over the world.
The U.N. Oil for Food Program turned out to be another gigantic
scandal. Designed to cripple the Saddam Hussein dictatorship in Iraq,
an oil export embargo was imposed. But an exception was made to the
crippling embargo, so Iraqi citizens were not harmed by the sanctions.
Saddam was permitted to sell a small amount of the nation’s crude
to buy food and medicine for his people. The man who headed the
U.N.’s Oil for Food program was the son of U.N. Secretary General
Kofi Anan. To make a long and complex story as simple to understand as possible, the young businessman and his cronies became very
wealthy men, Iraqi citizens suffered and Saddam laughed at both
the U.N. and the U.S. Millions and perhaps billions of dollars were
skimmed or diverted in complex financial schemes and no one was
ever prosecuted.
Other U.N. Aid programs have been rife with corruption since the
1990s. The revolution in Cambodia required yet another U.N. Aid
Program where administrators got rich and help did not trickle down
to the local people. When the truth was eventually revealed, all of the
U.N. officials mysteriously disappeared.
UNICEF, the United Nation’s program known for their “Trick or
Treat for UNICEF” Halloween fundraiser, was established in 1946 to
feed the starving children, many of them orphans, left behind following
WWII. The work of UNICEF evolved over
