“Carthage Must Be Destroyed” and the UN Dismantled
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
“Furthermore, I think that Carthage must be destroyed.”
Cato the Elder
Defunding the UN would go a long way toward neutralizing its deeply corrupt and subversive influence and would hopefully precipitate its dissolution.
The second-century BC Roman statesman and writer Cato the Elder was known for his common sense and conservatism. He reportedly concluded his speeches in the Senate, regardless of the topic, with the categorical statement that “Carthage must be destroyed”—only thus could Rome enjoy enduring peace and prosperity.
Similarly, if Western countries are to be sovereign protectors of our civilization and its best traditions, it is high time the UN and its related entities were defunded and, ideally, dismantled. These entities are pernicious funders and promoters of detrimental policies and ideologies that undermine the most democratic and humane nations.
A case in point is the recent libelous statement that 14,000 babies in Gaza were about to die within 48 hours—a fraudulent UN claim, which created shock around the world and, once exposed, was quickly and quietly withdrawn from major leftist media without apologies or any attempts to mitigate the damage inflicted.
Nearly 80 years ago, Churchill delivered his legendary speech “The Sinews of Peace,” best remembered for the phrase “Iron Curtain.” In it, he commented on the then infant UN:
The United States stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power. It is a solemn moment for the American Democracy. For with primacy in power is also joined an awe-inspiring accountability to the future. ….
A world organisation has already been erected for the prime purpose of preventing war, UNO, the successor of the League of Nations, with the decisive addition of the United States and all that that means, is already at work. We must make sure that its work is fruitful, that it is a reality and not a sham, that it is a force for action, and not merely a frothing of words, that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up, and not merely a cockpit in a Tower of Babel.
