    I do agree that congress belongs to the same cartel. Standing for positive things is not anti American. Much of what the UN does, however, is. You want to take everything I write and make it universal. Is the UN good for America? Sorry, it isn't, all double speak aside.

    .. l

    I think you are conflating the UN too closely with globalism .. for example .. the Cartel owns the WHO .. It does not really own the UN like it used to .. the US not dominating like it used to .. which is why you are expressing concern.

    What you are missing in the picture .. is that it is not the UN that is the threat of globalism so much.. Yes.. a little .. but in a much different way and not a negative way .. It is the US Oligarchs who are the ones pushing globalism .. the one's our Congress works for .. and takes marching orders. .. not that not all of these Oligarchs are American .. / representing only USA .. Britain .. the last world economic empire did not disappear completely .. but the US and British share some of the same Oligarchs.

    The UN is fricken Great for American !? .. last hope of the US citizen in a way .. .. do you think it is good for America to not face global condemnation for what the Neocon majority is up to ? Do you think going around supporting Genocide .. and a nuclear powderkeg in nut nut land .. is good for the US citizen ... ? Messing around and starting a proxy war with Russia .. that was good for you and me ? Is that what you think ? will wait for your answer but I friggen hope not .. if you do however .. got some news for ya sunshine ... the Donor Class and the MIC don't do you nothing but bad .. U Understand ? despite what the propaganda doublespeak koolaid say. ..

    Anti-semitism is the driver.
    Why Is Israel Singled Out As The Uniquely Hated State?
    April 29, 2024/ Francis Menton

    • Around the U.S., and particularly at the most elite college campuses, seemingly smart and well-educated young people keep up their passionate protests in support of the Hamas rapists and murderers and against Israel and Jews generally.

    • The claimed reason for the protests is that Israel is engaged in “apartheid” or “genocide,” or even the ultimate evil, “settler colonialism.” Yet meanwhile, the world is filled with state actors treating their own or neighboring populations in the most appalling ways, far worse than anything that Israel could remotely be accused of, without attracting anything like the passion and vitriol directed at Jews and Israel.

    • Think North Korea, keeping its own population in permanent prison conditions, and often starving; or China, cracking down on all dissent and even confining large sub-populations (e.g., Uyghurs) in slave labor camps; or Azerbaijan, which expelled an entire Christian community of about 150,000 people just a few months ago. These examples, let alone the human rights abuses in places like Iran or Cuba or Venezuela, attract almost no interest from our passionate student demonstrators, not to mention even slight notice from the press or anyone else.

    • How to explain this discrepancy?

    I disagree with most of that. The UN is an organization. Globalism is a method of international trade. They aren't related. It is consumers who push globalism. They want lower prices and businesses are in the business of getting their consumers what they want. I'm a big fan of buying American products. I wish everybody felt the same way. Russia started the "proxy" war. It is government that does me no good. You can chew on that if you like.

    Learn the history of the expulsion of Jews from Israel. And the history of arabs invading and migrating to Israel.

    Your definition of globalism includes one of the main aspects but is lacking in other areas .. Globalism is an effort by international Oligopolists and Oligarchs to usurp sovereignty of nations .. milk these nations like cows .. control political establishment .. Everyone likes lower prices .. but the reason for outsourcing our economy to the third world was for profits. Our tax laws allow for international corporations to funnel money out of the nation tax free ... and USA - Britain are the main Tax Haven Nations .. the citizen relegated to the position of serf.

    The Globalists control enviro policy .. healthcare policy .. foreign policy . I am big fan of buying US products as well .. unfortunately the fellow selling you the Shoe Made in USA pays tax on the profits from the Shoe to the USA .. the fellow selling you the Shoe made in "China" does not .. so the US shoe-maker has unfair competition .. anti competitive practices to fight against.

    I agree with most of what you said regarding globalism but USA and Britain are probably the top two nations where money leaves the country, seeking tax havens like

    The top tax havens currently are the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Jersey, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.

    are you saying that you did not understand what "Not catching the Point" means ? ... K .. KK .. OK .. I understand .. but no need to be insulted by failure to catch point .. your failure as a student is also my failure as a teacher .. but I will not take this as an insult .. but a learning opportunity .. rather than getting upset and trying to avoid correction..

    I did. Stupid article. "Tax Havens" are places to move money to avoid taxes. "the Tax Justice Network (TJN), a research and advocacy group" has a different concept of Tax havens.

    As an obvious young person I understand that it doesn't take much to get you to believe something that appeals to you. Anti-Americanism appeals to you for some reason.

    Nonsense

    Tax Havens: All You Need to Know (investopedia.com)
    • Tax havens are countries where there are no or only nominal taxes, allowing non-residents to effectively escape high taxes.
    • Example countries that also rank high in secrecy and have low-to-no taxes are the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Guam, Taiwan, and Jersey.

    The oldest tax havens of our times include Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Panama

    Tax Haven Attribute #1: No or Only Nominal Taxes

    Your article includes a defense of the Isle of man against the label as a tax haven from the Chief Minister who accuses the US of being a tax haven.

    The Isle of Man
    As such it does not have
    any corporate tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax, stamp duty, or inheritance tax. There is an income tax for residents at 10%-20%
    Is the Isle of Man a Tax Haven? (offshore-protection.com)


    US has a top rate of 37% Income tax, up to 20% Capital gains, 21% corporate tax and 18-40% inheritance tax.

    Your article with info from "the Tax Justice Network (TJN), a research and advocacy group" is primarily about massage parlors in the US and the ease of incorporating in the US, ease of creating shell companies and confidentiality of corporate info. They have a legitimate argument that US corporate law allows people to hide the SOURCE of their income, but it doesnt allow them to AVOID paying taxes on that income. Hunter Biden was able, with shell companies to hide the source of his income to protect his dad but it did not hide his obligation to pay taxes on that income. Same with owners of massage parlors.

    Did you not understand the question ?
    " What does standing against Crimes against Humanity, Ethnic Cleansing and the Holocaust have to with being anti Anti American ?"

    What does posting a link of Islamist radicals have to do with the question ? ? ?!
