Subject: The Role of the UN - the UN Balkans Environmental Team
You [Jan Slakov of renaisssance-network: see below] wrote: But I hate to
give up on the UN and all its affiliates too easily. (I'm quite sure it
was Kurt Waldheim who said, "The UN has survived liars and astrologers as
Secretaries General. It's taken the rap for dirty deeds that the Super
Powers have wished on it... but if it didn't exist, then we'd have to
invent something like it."
I cannot disagree entirely with you, we do need something like the UN. But
the UN is funded by the plutocracy, and as you cited Kurt Waldheim, I will
now cite a plutocrat, Mayer Amschel Rotschild, who said: "Give me the
control of a nation's monetary system, and I cannot care who officially
makes their rules." In short - those who control the money control
everything else, including the UN.
A little further on this statement occurs:
It is very encouraging, given the devastating and manifest
human health and ecological consequences, that a thorough
assessment is taking place. The need for such assessment has been
called for in reports of the UN Inter-agaency Needs Assessment
Mission released June 29th , by the Regional Environmental Center
for Central and Eastern Europe reporting around the same time, and in
press releases by Mikhail Gorbachev and Green Cross
International and by the World Wildlife Fund among others.
When the UN is urged to perform the said environmental investigation, then
it is among other things to avoid the other agencies to perform their
investigations. Now the warmongers are in control of the investigation and
consequently of its outcome. They might not be able to influence for
instance Green Cross International or the World Wildlife Fund.
According to a later statement:
A team of UN-sponsored environmental experts are in
Pancevo, Yugoslavia today, beginning an assessment
of damage done during the recent conflict over
Kosovo.
If the persons mentioned disregard a major factor, the DU, how can they be
considered 'experts'?
One possible limitation of and concern with the UN team's approach
is that it apppears they will not be sampling for depleted uranium
[DU]. Whether this is related to lack of equipment or lack of
adequate information is not clear.
If they lack information, then they are not experts, and if they persue
the task without adequate equipment, then they do not act as experts, i.
e. they are still not experts. Let us await their findings, and I am
fairly confident, that they will not find anything of major concern. Of
course they do not bite the hand, that feed them. As a Danish proverb says
in translation: "The Devil protects his supporters."
Do not forget, either, that somebody have accused some NATO generals and
other bigwigs of war crimes. The evidence found thus must not be too
overwhelming, if these accusations cannot be silenced to non-existence.
Thus before somebody else find convincing evidence, the UN will take over
the task to find nothing of major concern.
Sincerely, Ib Bang.
