watch this video these are very well done they're illustrated but you need this foundation before we go forward with this message so uh go ahead brother play it and make sure the volume is pretty good these aliens they will truly conclude that israel is the most evil country on planet earth north korea and pakistan will be seen as good vacation spots am i exaggerating let's take a look at some facts about the u.n there are 193 members in the u.n less than half of them are free countries many of them are perpetrators of the worst crimes of our time so how is it that while hundreds of thousands are being detained and victimized in north korea christians are persecuted in iraq women are subjugated in saudi arabia homosexuals are executed in iran and civilians including thousands of children are gassed to death in syria how is it that 85 of the resolutions against countries passed in the u.n general assembly are against israel the only real democracy in the middle east with equal rights an independent judicial system and a vibrant free press let's start from the beginning in 1945 after world war ii the nations who defeated fascism established the united nations to prevent such human devastations from ever happening again the u.s charter called for reaffirming human rights and equal rights to all men women and nations but over the years many new states became members only a few were democracies human rights and equality were pushed to the sidelines in favor of political interests from the get-go israel was at a disadvantage muslim and arab member states outnumbered it and tried to isolate it by threatening israel's allies with embargoes and if that weren't enough arab muslim and third-world non-aligned countries united into a powerful voting bloc with an automatic majority their shared goal was to discredit the us and delegitimize israel as it has been famously noted this voting bloc could pass a resolution that the world is flat and that israel threatened it the same block prevents actions against oppressive regimes since many of them are oppressive regimes now after understanding how the u.n is structured it shouldn't surprise you that iran the oppressive regime developing nuclear weapons in breach of international agreements was appointed a member of the united nations nuclear

disarmament committee this is a country that has threatened to destroy a fellow e1 member israel if that isn't enough irony for you wait this theater of the absurd reached a climax in the u.n commission in human rights which was run for decades by an overwhelming majority of non-democratic abuse-ridden countries in 2003 it was even chaired by the libya andrew gaddafi that's right this righteous individual was telling us how to make the world a better place this commission repeatedly condemned israel but refused to condemn systematic torture and abuse in over 80 countries including sudan for the massacre of 300 000 citizens in there for at this point even the u.n secretary general realized something was fundamentally wrong but the human rights council which replaced the commission still includes many countries that failed to meet even the most minimal standards of a free democracy they have placed israel on its permanent human rights agenda israel which has equal rights for all its citizens minority rights civil liberties and a growing population of jews christians and muslims i served in the u.n from 1993 to 1997 and saw firsthand the hypocrisy and cynicism of the political interests that have taken over the united nations i have watched dictators applauded murder and terrorism ignored and human rights turned into a travesty after understanding how the union really operates perhaps the idea of aliens taking over doesn't sound that bad i wanted you to see that because it's just a very succinct uh illustration of the hypocrisy and he said of course talked about the hypocrisy of the u.n and this this obsession they have with attacking israel when they ignore what's going on pretty much ignore what's going on in the muslim countries and even now with the wiping out of christians and different uh ethnic groups in iraq and syria and so on down the line the reason for this and that's why i see of course their foreign minister here and therefore an ambassador to the united nations alliance here he didn't really he's not going to go into the spiritual reasons but i will there are spiritual reasons and i'm going to tell you that satan and the forces of darkness evil spirits have taken over the u n and they're going to use it for their agenda that's why it is so blatantly obvious that they are anti-both and so anti-israel and so anti-christian this is only going to grow in the days ahead i have news for you as well mark my words
