The United Nations has allegedly deplatformed countries including the USA, Australia and South Africa from the upcoming climate conference in New York, because those nations support building coal plants, though China and India will still be invited to speak.

Leading countries blocked from speaking at UN climate summit
Secretary-general takes tough line on select coal-supporting nations

Leslie Hook in London

Leading economies such as Japan and Australia will not be invited to speak at next week’s crunch UN climate change summit, as their continued support for coal clashes with the demands of the organisation’s secretary-general as he sounds the alarm on climate change.

Also excluded will be the US, which has said it intends to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, as well as Brazil and Saudi Arabia, which have criticised the climate pact.

“Only the boldest and most transformative actions [will] make the stage,” said Amina Mohammed, UN deputy secretary-general, on Wednesday. “We will see on Monday who is stepping up.”

However some coal-loving countries such as China and India, the world’s two biggest builders of new coal stations, will still speak at the summit, according to the draft agenda.

Why do we still host this absurdity, which is now less credible than the League of Nations?

Because of the misguided belief that we can actually all get along on every single item.

The colossal failure of globalization/group think minded humans that see no value in the nation-state and forgot or ignore the how and why of their organic creation and origins. It is all part and parcel of their collective hubris or worse their complete disdain of humanity coupled with their overt nature of being megalomaniacs.

The U.S.A. get together with their closest allies and a better version that sticks to the principles upon which it was created.

Withdraw from the UN entirely .
The do nothing in the US interest anywhere in the world.
The organization is nothing but a social club for tyrants and despots seeing a global stage for their own aggrandizement and seeking to create a global government to reduce everyone else’s standard of living while maintaining their personal elite lifestyle.
lock the doors and kick them all out of our country.

“. . . the demands of the organisation’s secretary-general . . .”

We have seen this play out before. The UN is now fronting the thought police . . . obviously taking to heart this advice from the past:
““If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” — Joseph Goebbels

I’m all in for sending the UN to Venezuela!
Sell the land and get on with making humanity’s destiny better- not lining the pockets of a bunch of unelected bureaucrats trying to steal our money and our freedom!

Time to de-platform the UN I’d say

Put a truck with some solar panels out front and wire the UN to it, not the grid. See how long they last without ice for their cocktails

The United States of America should defund the United Nations.

If Australia is going to be deplatformed and ignored, why should we be a member of these United Nazis? Hopefully more of us wake up that the UN was always about slowly strangling the Sovereignty out of Nations, giving them a one world dictatorship.

Remember that the climate consensus openly states democracy is not working and that a new ruling system agreeable with climate extremist demand must be empowered.
The UN is doing like the EU: seeking more power.
Climate emergencies, declared one nation at a time, raises the logical question:
Once a critical mass of “climate emergencies” are raised, what happens?
What happens whenever emergencies are declared is that rules are suspended, special powers are granted, and people are made to do stuff to deal with the emergency.
What does the climate consensus demand that we do?
Nothing less than grant total power to them.
We are in dangerous, perilous times.
This coordinated, worldwide, and extremely well funded attack on us all is the real emergency.
It is long past time to resist and may well be too late.
They have stolen whole governments, universities, media, our children, our big tech companies.
How to start resisting?
I don’t know, but we must.

What’s up?
I wrote a medium length essay. No curse words, no links, no attacks on anyone.
And it just disappears.
I have been reading and posting for over 10 years and have had few if any comments flagged as inappropriate.
Now my posts just drift away?
Please advise. Thanks.

How will the USA, Australia, South Africa and other nations respond to this UN snub other than shrugging their shoulders moving on.

Thinking “none of my business”.
