    Mainstream media spends far more time and effort banishing the truth about US crimes. They are far better at covering up crime than in exposing crime.

    The UN provides international support by, for example, condemning the actions of countries we want to take action against.

    Finishing up 2018 by spreading hatred based on your warped view of reality?

    The U.S. is the #1 state sponsor of terror? Really? What's your evidence for this claim? Would you rather live in North Korea?

    You solution to interest groups, social or economic, dominating society is what? Humans are social creatures who organize to to get what they want?

    For $1b a year, why would we? Besides, the UN exists and we could find ourselves subjected to criticism we can avoid with our veto in the UNSC.

    The UN is done and will slowly become obsolete. Designed as a forum where all countries could participate if prescribed rules were followed those rules are now being ignored and countries, Most recently Muslim countries are voting as a bloc.

    Another system must be organized wherein only democracies are allowed membership. This is such an example.

    So, we should stay in the UN to prevent it from being used against us...?
    That is an interesting point.

    The UN isn't done yet. Muslims aren't going to get anything by voting as a bloc.

    It's just a forum and one that's worked for us most of the time.

    Thanks for this article. I have been following Armstrong's stories ever since the 1990's and his involvement with Edmund Safra and his Republic National Bank affair. I have almost always found what he says to be well worth listening to.

    In regard to Cheney, another excellent insight are those provided by Prof. Peter Dale Scott in his book and writings on 9/11. Scott considers that the mechanism used for 9/11 was the communication system established as part of COG (Continuity of Government). It is as well to know that COG was legally activated on 9/11 and still remains in force. Read what Scott has to say (in part) HERE and HERE (scroll down on the latter). His book The Road to 9/11 is well worth reading too.

    The fact is, imo, that most people continue to be incredibly poorly informed about the deep reality in which we live.

    There's a lot of people on this forum with an agenda -- ignore them completely and look at what the evidence points to.

    But it's not an answer if we can't sustain it.
