why are we in UNESCO?

[davo]

Here's a 2005 article from Ron Paul about American involvement in UNESCO

I'm in 100% agreement. Reagan and Thatcher made the right decision in withdrawing from this organization. Dubya signed back up. The western world would definitely be better off without this organization.

I assume when you say We you mean the American people.
Correct?
Well, nobody asks American people about what decisions their government should make and nobody ever did in the past.

The organizations such as UN, UNESCO or World Health Organization have been set up by the Freemasons as a stepping stones on the way of establishing the NEW WORLD GOVERNMENT which plans to create one world currency and one race of people by mixing all nations and races into one tribe with NO heritage of its own...

People who set all these organizations will eliminate Ron Paul in no time in case he gets elected, and blame the association on Fidel Castro or Osama Bin laden who (you know) "...hates our Freedom..."...

:D

December....Shhhhhhhhhhh!!! You're not supposed to be telling these things! You know the old saying - 'Loose lips sink ships!" If you get in the habit of telling all the secrets next thing you know you'll be telling everyone about those captured aliens held at Area 51 being Free Masons and responsible for killing JFK! Just think of the chaos that knowledge would cause! So....shhhhhhhhhh.....best to keep some secrets to one's self - some secrets are just too difficult to grasp for the minds of most folks!

Step 1: Grab your dictionary.

Step 2: Look up the word sarcasm.

Step 3: Re-read Trish's post with your newfound understanding... :madlaugh:

Phyxius, I don't think Trish tried to be sarcastic.

I think as soon as Trish saw the buzzword Freemasons he simply decided to discredit my post by suggesting that I am crazy nutter who believes in every conspiracy there is, including Area 51.

Davo offered pretty interesting subject for the discussion, so I don't want to engage into meaningless sarcastic shootout. :fight: :D

Anyway...

I didn't know that the USA became a member of UNESCO only in 2003!
Wow!

I like the goal of UNESCO. They want to protect the heritage of the nations. What's wrong with that?
So how come America joined UNESCO only in 2003?
