View Full Version : Trump's UN Budget Cuts Funding; Some Agencies Would Get Zero

The Trump administration's proposed 2019 fiscal year budget (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/budget-fy2019.pdf) calls for significant cuts to U.S. taxpayer funding of the United Nations and some of its most anti-American, anti-freedom agencies and programs. A number of controversial UN outfits would lose all U.S. tax money. Overall, though, the proposal would cut just a third of the “International Affairs Budget,” which funds foreign aid, diplomacy, and international organizations such as the UN. Globalists and pro-UN liberals were outraged by the proposal, demanding that Republican leaders in Congress refuse to support the cuts. But grassroots conservatives and leaders suggested that steeper cuts or even a full U.S. withdrawal from the UN would be a better way to advance Trump's publicly articulated “America First” agenda.
In total, Trump is seeking almost $42 billion for the so-called International Affairs Budget. That may sound like a massive amount of money, and it is — especially considering that the U.S. government remains $20 trillion in the red and has an estimated $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities. But compared with 2017 numbers, the last budget enacted before Trump took office, that is a 30 percent cut, down from almost $60 billion. The proposed budget also significantly reins in U.S. funding for the UN's disgraced “peace” armies, which have developed a well-deserved global reputation for raping children and terrorizing populations in every nation they occupy (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/27377-why-is-the-un-protecting-child-rapists). Under Trump's plan, Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) would go from almost $2 billion in 2017 to about $1.2 billion in 2019, according to an analysis (https://betterworldcampaign.org/news-room/press-releases/better-world-campaign-statement-calls-administrations-proposed-foreign-affairs-budget-cuts-unwise/) by the rabidly pro-UN “Better World Campaign.”

The broader UN would also face a range of cuts. The Contributions to International Organizations (CIO) account, which disperses funds to the regular UN budget and various UN organizations, would see some very minor cuts. In 2017, the account received $1.36 billion, while Trump's proposal would scale that back to about $1.1 billion. Some UN agencies and programs, such as the dictator-controlled “Green Climate [Slush] Fund,” would receive nothing from U.S. taxpayers, fulfilling Trump's pledges on the campaign trail to quit funding the UN's “global warming” antics (https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/26170-trump-draws-widespread-praise-for-canceling-un-climate-scheme). Despite the whining from climate alarmists, federal law already prohibits U.S. funding of international organizations that accept the “State of Palestine” as a member, thereby making it illegal to fund the UN's “climate” slush fund. Obama funded it illegally on his way out the door by moving money from other areas (https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/25173-obama-illegally-sends-huge-check-to-un-climate-fund-then-lies).
A number of UN agencies would see their tax-funded U.S. handouts slashed dramatically. The UN World Health Organization, for instance, led by a communist who recently tried to appoint a genocidal Marxist dictator as “goodwill ambassador,” (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/27195-after-outcry-un-who-rescinds-honors-for-genocidal-tyrant-mugabe)would see its U.S. funding cut in half. The cuts come as the WHO has come under increasing fire for mismanagement, corruption, wild ideas such as fighting diseases with tyranny (https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/18859-un-and-feds-plan-to-fight-ebola-with-tyranny), and much more. Until recently, it was led by a Chinese Communist. But last year, an Ethiopian Communist, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, took the reins. His decision to name Robert Mugabe as “goodwill ambassador” due to the mass-murdering tyrant's supposed “universal health coverage and health promotion” drew a tsunami of ridicule and criticism from around the globe.
Other UN agencies would lose all funding under Trump's plan. One of those is the United Nations Children's Fund, better known as UNICEF. Ostensibly, the outfit, which received $330 million from U.S. taxpayers in the 2017 budget, “protects” children. But in reality, children have not always fared so well under its stewardship. In 1987, for example, the New York Times reported that UN committee members were arrested for operating a studio producing child pornography in the basement of the UNICEF building in Brussels (http://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/25/world/child-sex-scandal-roils-unicef-unit.html). It was not clear where the UN “children” agency procured the children it exploited. More than a thousand child-porn photographs were seized in the case. And analysts said that was just the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, UN officials and troops are currently under fire for the rape of thousands and thousands of children — all perpetrated with impunity under the guise of “diplomatic immunity.” (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/27377-why-is-the-un-protecting-child-rapists)
More recently, the controversial UN “children's” agency, working with UN WHO, was exposed adding sterilizing agents to its vaccines that produced infertility in African women (https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/19497-doctors-un-vaccines-in-kenya-used-to-sterilize-women). The scandal, first exposed by Catholic doctors who sent samples of the UN vaccines from Kenya to various laboratories, was quickly denied by the UN agencies involved. However, a recent peer-reviewed study in the open access journal Scientific Research confirmed (http://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838)that the vaccines were, in fact, laced with the chemical in question, known as hCG, which makes successful pregnancy impossible when added to inoculations. “Given that hCG was found in at least half the WHO vaccine samples known by the doctors involved in administering the vaccines to have been used in Kenya, our opinion is that the Kenya 'anti-tetanus' campaign was reasonably called into question by the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association as a front for population growth reduction,” the abstract said.

Perhaps more importantly, merely cutting funding for the tentacles of the dictators club is not a sustainable solution to the threat posed by the UN. As Trump recognized on the campaign trail, the global outfit is not a friend to freedom or the United States. And in recent years, the UN has openly attacked virtually all of the God-given, constitutionally protected human rights of Americans — free speech, religious liberty, gun rights, due process, parental rights, self-government, and more. It also threatens U.S. independence (https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/23450-u-s-independence-attacked-as-never-before-by-un-interdependence). A simple solution to the threat is legislation currently in Congress known as the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, or HR 193. It would neutralize the UN threat completely (https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/25078-bill-to-get-u-s-out-of-un-introduced-in-new-congress)by severing all U.S. ties with the dictators club and evicting its headquarters from U.S. soil. Now, it is up to the American people to make their voices heard.
