of the UN NGO Community
It’s not the economy stupid! That’s doing just fine, for a few at the top . . .
See Quotes and Globaloney.
June 13, 2000: The USA Congress is pressing for tax relief for the rich in estate taxes.
UNICEF released the following: USA now has 13.5 Million children in poverty, just behind Mexico in the World Poverty listings.Sneak preview of things to come: Robert Ashford and Rodney Shakespeare (1999) "Binary Economics: The New Paradigm" University Press of America. Hopefully before the violence.
• Charlie Rose show (Feburary 1, 2000): Guest Jim Hightower said, " 80% of American workers are worst off today with less salary and a lower standard of living." Americans want to 'take back their government' from the corruption in Washington. (Referring to New Hampshire vote for McCaine and against Bush)
• Bloomberg Radio's latest report (1/18/00) "The Rich are furthur seperating themselves from the rest of society."
• See the UNDP Report on Human Development
• Charlie Rose show (1/17/00) "83% of American workers are WORSE OFF or at a 'stand-still' position economically in this new Gloalization of the Rich!" Figures from 1973 til 2000!
It’s JOB's Stupid! (The nonstop “Dumping” of ten’s of millions of jobs in America.) What about Europe? Even Japan (land of the guaranteed jobs?)
Here they go again . . . example of almost daily news stories) Levi's Dumping another 6,000 America jobs! Closing some 22 USA plants and moving overseas. Last year it was 7,000 jobs! (2/24/99)We apologize for not being able to track all the job dumping in America, weekly since 1980! Never-the-less, it is continuing every week! Tens of millions of USA workers have been dumped into "no jobs" or forced into "Temporary" positions with little or NO benefits; pensions, health insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, etc.
Globalization may just be the biggest fleecing of American workers and Middle Class in the history of America.
Henry Kisinger on Charlie Rose show early January 2000. "Something must be done to stop the widening "gap" between rich and poor in America and allow the disadvantaged a chance to participate in the Globalization."

The purpose of this site is to provide information for NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) who are active at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Also to provide information for NGOs in the rest of the world who are interested in the activities of the UN Headquarters NGOs. This site seeks to develop partnerships with other NGOs around the Globe and will develop a dialogue and links to those NGOs who have similar interests. Since we represent many NGOs, we will try to present an uncensored and neutral position on all the issues, merely reporting where the peoples issues are, as of today.
One of this sites functions is to further communication capabilities among world NGOs, as well as enhancing communications with the United Nations as a partner and facilitator. The site also aims to empower NGOs by providing them with forums to discuss issues of relevance to them, and to the world they live in.
