[kitchencabinetforum] SUPERJUNKET ON POVERTY

At the superjunket in New York, the Universal Nudnik Civil Pope, aka United Nations Secretary General, urged world leaders to push forward in reaching Universal Nudnik's goals to eliminate poverty, despite recent drops in aid funds due to the global financial crisis.

Civil Pope Ban asserts we should not balance budgets on the back of the poor, and governments should aim to achieve clear results under the development scheme adopted in 2000 with a target date of 2015. The plans to meet the goals are badly behind schedule. Despite the obstacles, despite the skepticism, despite the fast approaching deadline of 2015, the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) are achievable. Ban told some 140 presidents, prime ministers and scores of foreign ministers attending the three-day junket that the transformative impact of the MDGs was undeniable.

Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out the United Nations(UN), aka Universal Nudnik, is a very corrupt organization, headed by the Secretary General, aka Civil Pope. At an Independent Inquiry into the Universal Nudnik Oil-for-Food Program, 3,000 companies from 70 countries paid bribes totalling about two billion dollars in exchange for contracts for delivery of goods to meet humanitarian needs. There were another 150 companies from 40 countries that reportedly paid illicit surcharges on oil purchases from Iraq. Civil Pope Kofi Anan himself got kickbacks!

Venitis notes that Ban Ki-moon, the former South Korean foreign minister, has been a weak Universal Nudnik Civil Pope. At Turtle Bay and elsewhere, the Civil Pope is seen as a disappointment and as the wrong man to assume a prominent role and lead the global community at a time when the world's political axis is shifting from America to Europe. Ban is more secretary than general. Many global organizations suffer from the fact that they are run by uncharismatic bureaucrats. In most cases, this is the fault of the kleptocrats who prefer to elevate weak figures, who won't meddle too much.

An internal memo by Inga-Britt Ahlenius, a Swedish auditor whose non-renewable five-year term as undersecretary-general of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) ended in July 2010, charged Universal Nudnik Civil Pope and his associates of undermining efforts to combat corruption in the organization.

This has long been obvious to observers of the Universal Nudnik Efforts to improve accountability, transparency, and oversight are often attacked from within. Many member states become angry if their citizens are fingered for corruption, and Universal Nudnik officials seem fearful that any report of problems will damage the organization's reputation. Thus the decision to eliminate the Procurement Task Force, the only truly independent investigatory and oversight body the U.N. has ever had, in December 2008 was a frustrating but not surprising example of how effective and independent oversight is discouraged and attacked in Turtle Bay.

Vatmonger Eurokleptocrats declare that Fourth Reich aid to the needy is a manifestation of Fourth Reich's benevolence! To whom vatbuster Basil Venitis replies: It's not yours to give! Government has been fighting poverty for most of the last century. Many trillions of euros have been spent. Yet success never comes. When it becomes apparent that poverty is not being eradicated, kleptocrats throw yet more money at the supposed problem. The increased money comes from our increased taxes, including the inflation tax.

But year by year there are still more people in need of government support. This is partially because as more people understand that incomes can be had without working for them, more people position themselves as poor so that they can receive benefits. No matter how much money is thrown at the problem, there will always be both the government-defined poor as well as the natural nondisability poor; there will always be people who choose not to better themselves, due to various psychological or mental desires to remain in their current state.

If concern for human poverty and suffering were one's primary motive, one would seek to discover their cause. One would not fail to ask: Why did some nations develop, while others did not? Why have some nations achieved material abundance, while others have remained stagnant in subhuman misery? History and, specifically, the unprecedented prosperity-explosion of the nineteenth century, would give an immediate answer: venitism is the only system that enables men to produce abundance, and the key to venitism is individual freedom.

Poverty is not a mortgage on the labor of others, misfortune is not a mortgage on achievement—failure is not a mortgage on success, suffering is not a claim check, and its relief is not the goal of existence, man is not a sacrificial animal on anyone's altar nor for anyone's cause, life is not one huge hospital.

Venitis asserts that throwing money to misery brings more misery. Fighting wild leverage with more leverage is homeopathic repression of reality. A deluge of fiat money brings financial plague and haemorrhage of economy. Real money is tied up to precious metals and strategic metals.

The most efficient political system is venitism, where everything is private, there are no taxes at all, there is no parliament, and a powerless infinitesimal government is chosen and supported not by hoi polloi, but by the most generous benefactors.
