Color me a bit skeptical on this one. The UN always claims it doesn’t have enough money, but never lets that interrupt the fine dining experiences of its upper brass, let alone force them to put up with the color.
But it’s also too good not to share.
U.S. President Donald Trump is withholding the transfer of several budgets to the United Nations so far and the international organization, which is currently experiencing a serious economic crisis due to a sharp decline in its financial resources, has been forced to take drastic measures. According to a letter obtained by Ynet, the UN headquarters in New York has already begun making significant cuts, which are affecting the organization’s ongoing activities.
Among the steps taken: cutting translation services; reducing live broadcasts of plenary debates; stopping holding meetings after 6:00 p.m.; shortening the length of reports by 10%; limiting the number of meetings with translation and interpretation services; delays in producing official minutes; lowering the temperature in the offices to save on heating costs; and even closing one of the main entrances to the UN headquarters on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
According to the letter, signed by the UN Secretary-General’s Chief of Staff, Earle Courtenay Rattray, these steps are necessary to ensure that the organization can continue to operate, at least until the end of the year. “Without immediate spending restrictions, we will not be able to meet our financial obligations from September to December,” the document states. It was also emphasized that due to the severity of the situation, the drastic measures taken last year will also continue, with new restrictions added to all key UN departments.
Some of this ought to be easy enough to check. If I were in New York City, I could just stroll up there and check the entrance.
And you could view this as the UN trying to cry poverty to pressure top diplomats to get their governments to pay up.
Or maybe if the UN lowers the temperature enough, they’ll just leave. That ought to fix global warming and the UN both.
The UN has always had too much money, I had two weeks work to do for them, just me, nobody else and I had done this type of work before for many organisations.
But wait, we need a meeting in NYC with eight other people flown in from around the world staying in top hotels and getting taxis there and back with lunch provided in disposable containers.
That is true and when I suggested that the September rain in New York was kinda normal and not due to climate change, weeelll they then decided to employ a “consultant” to assist me 😆
I forgot to mention that the meeting lasted three days 😆
Somewhere in the Infernal Reaches, Jimmy Carter is telling them to wear sweaters
Heating is not a problem. The UN only has to recycle the constant hot air emitted by the trash that pretends to be “diplomats.”
Turning down the temps in the thermostats and cutting the electricity. That ought to be enough to close down the place.
The U.N. has become a giant human trafficking operation via their refugee and peacekeeping(lol) missions. Anyone notice that there is not one crisis or problem anywhere in the world the U.N. has successfully resolved? Besides the human trafficking I suppose they do take time out of their busy schedules to condemn Israel and fly around in private jets to combat climate change.
Don’t forget that the sham “oil for food” program run by grifting shithead Kofi Annon.
The program siphoned off billions & tossed the leftovers to feed some Iraqi citizens on camera.
Naturally, Kofi Annon & the U.N. won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.
Bill Clinton, who started the program in 1995, didn’t get a Nobel Prize. (He consoled himself by flying to “Orgy Island” 27 times.)
In the Era of Trump, the U.N. might just up and leave. Oh, the horror. What would we do without that third-world sewer on the East River?
I would imagine it’s a very valuable piece of real estate.
Rip down the UN building and build a new Trump hotel 😀
Yup, just bulldoze it right into the East River and let Trump build something useful there.
I have some ideas to “fix” the issues :
Translator expenses – simple fix – SPEAK ENGLISH!
UN lack of funds – simple fix – SHUT IT DOWN!
There ya go!
The latter deserves special emphasis – and it begins with getting the U.S. OUT of the United Nations and getting the UN out of the U.S.
That female in the photo is straight out of Brave New World, she will go to the feelies straight after her work and take some soma – if she isn’t already on it….
