Just in case there is anyone who still doesn’t understand what the Liberal World Order entails (besides high gas prices), the United Nations spelled it out by touting the benefits of world hunger.

Via Climate Depot:

The UN Chronicle, which bills itself as “The magazine of the United Nations, Since 1946” originally published this essay in 2008 by Professor George Kent of the University of Hawaii: “Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour. … How many of us would sell our services if it were not for the threat of hunger?”

“More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger?”

For once, instead of the usual pious doubletalk about equity, we get some sincerity:

“For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.”

Asks the author,

Who would have established massive biofuel production operations in Brazil if they did not know there were thousands of hungry people desperate enough to take the awful jobs they would offer?

Biofuels are an economically inefficient boondoggle propped up with coercive funding by Big Government in the name of the climate.

Speaking of global warming idiocy, another benefit of world hunger is that according to the woke ideology of our globalist ruling class, food makes it be too warm outside. That’s why they plan for us to eat insects instead.

After people outside the liberal elite discovered the article (archived here), the UN said “just kidding” and deleted it:

The piece could have been satire as the UN now claims. The point would be that people should be given what they need at someone else’s expense by an all-powerful globalist government regardless of whether they are willing to work.

When you put up your United Nations flag this morning, raise it only to half-mast. The nascent world government of globalist do-gooders is mourning the existence of corruption. From its announcement that today is International Anticorruption Day:

Corruption affects all areas of society. Preventing corruption unlocks progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, helps protect our planet, creates jobs, achieves gender equality, and secures wider access to essential services such as healthcare and education.

They forgot to mention racial equality.

Other things they forgot to mention include the Iraq oil for food scandal, the pilfered tsunami relief money for Indonesia, and of course the ongoing child sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers.

To quote Fraud Eats Strategy,

The United Nations and its various agencies are much more susceptible to corruption than most organizations given the unique nature of how donor countries, beneficiary countries and local and national government officials interact. … [Due to the] nature of how the UN is funded and disperses funds for large scale infrastructure building, healthcare services, facilities and medication, education and peacekeeping operations in disproportionately high corruption risk countries, and the fact that its employees and officers are foreign officials under the law, the UN represents a perfect storm of corruption risk. Indeed, there’ve been numerous high-profile corruption investigations in which UN agencies and officials were at the center of the storm.

As Claudia Rosett observed back in 2006,

Behind the specific scandals lies what one of the UN’s own internal auditors has termed a “culture of impunity.” A grand committee that reports to itself alone, the UN operates with great secrecy and is shielded by diplomatic immunity. One of its prime defenses, indeed, is the sheer impenetrability of its operations: after more than 60 years as a global collective, it has become a welter of so many overlapping programs, far-flung projects, quietly vested interests, nepotistic shenanigans, and interlocking directorates as to defy accurate or easy comprehension, let alone responsible supervision.

That was the year they announced “UN Ethics Day.” It didn’t work. But maybe International Anticorruption Day will be more successful.

The one thing the United Nations will always succeed at is bringing a warm glow to liberal hearts with its sanctimonious posturing. That’s what we US taxpayers get for our money.

On a tip from Lyle.

The United Nations may have kicked a hornet’s nest by demanding that Elon Musk hand over $6 billion to its bureaucrats in the name of world hunger.

When UN World Food Program Director David Beasley said the $6 billion would save 42 million people who otherwise are “literally going to die,” Musk agreed to give the money, but only if WFP can explain “exactly how $6B will solve world hunger.”

Musk has probably heard the joke regarding what you get if you feed a million starving Africans: 10 million starving Africans. You also get a few hundred fat UN bureaucrats, so Musk further stipulated that “it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.”

From there it went downhill for the UN:

The link in Musk’s tweet goes to a story about children as young as 9 being forced to provide UN officials with oral sex in return for food:

Memos about the sexual abuse in the Central African Republic were “passed from desk to desk, inbox to inbox, across multiple UN offices, with no one willing to take responsibility”, the report found. It added: “The welfare of the victims and the accountability of the perpetrators appeared to be an afterthought, if considered at all.” …

No one has been arrested more than a year and a half after UN authorities were made aware of the sexual abuse allegations. …

It took almost a year for UN staff to respond to allegations of rape by six children.

The story was updated yesterday but originally appeared in 2015. Whether there has been any accountability is doubtful.

Maybe Beastly will bring us all up to date on whether any justice has been done and whether the UN has cleaned up its act.

Probably not though. As enVolve notes,

Most of the media reports concerning the Twitter exchange didn’t even mention Musk challenging Beasley about the child abuse sex scandal.

That means Beastly has no good answers.
