The U.N. Exposed How the United Nations Sabotages America's Security and Fails the World Hardback - 2006

by Shawn, Eric

Long before the UN's mammoth Oil for Food scandal, conservatives were both offended by and suspicious of this supranational organization, which seems to oppose and criticize the United States at every opportunity.

For most of the press, the UN is a beleaguered force for good in the world, one that deserves even more support from the United States (which already pays for 22 percent of its operating budget). But Eric Shawn, a senior correspondent and anchor for Fox News Channel, has aggressively reported on the many transgressions of UN officials for nearly two years.

In The UN Exposed, he uses the Oil for Food scandal as a starting point to expose the organization's inefficiency, corruption, and extreme anti-American agenda. Shawn reveals, for example:
á how France, Russia, and China were bribed by Saddam's billions to oppose America
á how the Security Council turned a blind eye to Saddam's violations for nearly thirteen years
á how UN diplomats and bureaucrats abuse their privileges and waste billions

Many Americans are already disturbed by the UN's hypocrisy. After reading Shawn's book, they will have a much better sense of what really goes on behind its closed doors and what America should do to make it work better.


Summary

Less than five miles from Ground Zero in Manhattan sits an international hotbed of anti-Americanism.

The United Nations was created after World War II to promote peace and international understanding. But over the years, and today more than ever, the U.N. has failed to achieve its original mission. It has failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the civilized world, refused to condemn terrorist acts, encouraged America's enemies, and supported some of the world's most oppressive governments, all while wasting billions of dollars.

As veteran reporter Eric Shawn of Fox News Channel points out, the U.N.'s iconic skyscraper is where our so-called allies all too often undermine the United States and our vital interests. And for the honor of hosting our adversaries in our own country, Americans pay a whopping 22 percent of the U.N.'s bloated budget.

The U.N. Exposed will give you a rare insider's tour of the United Nations, focusing on many disturbing aspects that have been ignored by the mainstream media. You will learn, for instance:

  • how U.N.-supervised funds were diverted into weapons used against American troops
  • how terrorists and rogue states seeking nuclear weapons flout toothless U.N. resolutions
  • how our allies' selfish economic interests drive U.N.-backed challenges to America's sovereignty
  • how kickbacks, bribes, and corruption have pervaded the highest echelons of the U.N.
  • how U.N. ambassadors and staff enjoy luxurious and tax-free Manhattan lifestyles and other perks
  • how U.N. workers have repeatedly turned children into their sexual prey

As Shawn declares in his introduction, "I am disgusted by the fact that the altruistic efforts of so many U.N. staff members are undercut by the greed, corruption, and ineptitude of the bureaucracy they serve."
