Must see: U.N. Me the movie. Not a Left or Right Issue, this is a Financial and Humanitarian Issue

[ExecutiveChick]

Watched this last weekend. We give the U.N. over $3 billion a year (some project up to $13 billion total in hard money and soft money, like free rent for their building in NY and funding through House Bills). This is important to keep in mind as you watch it.

Disclaimer: It is produced and has at times a slight Israel/Jewish slant. But it is not bad but I tell you this only to give full disclosure.

In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmaker Ami Horowitz takes us on a harrowing, yet often hilarious, trip through the farcical world of the United Nations.

Horowitz exposes how an organization created to ennoble mankind actually enables chaos and global discord. As disturbing as the picture painted by U.N. Me may be, Horowitz manages to keep us laughing throughout the film. And just when you’re left shaking your head at one outrage or another exposed in U.N. Me, Horowitz reliably enters with comic relief.

The U.N. is just one huge corrupt political club.  I watched this documentary, and even though I went into it knowing how screwed up the U.N. is, I was still shocked.  It may have started off as a peacekeeping organization, but it has evolved into a club for international thugs.  Just look up Oil for Food.  We've probably all heard about this, but I didn't know that noone was ever punished or fired for their involvement.  

If the role of the U.N. is to 'protect the rights' of murderous dictators to line their pockets with money collected from countries around the world, then they are doing a bang up job.
