EXITUN A project for President Trump -- and for whomever plans to follow him in leadership.

Last week Cuba and the People’s Republic of China, both longstanding Communist dictatorships, gained election to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The move should come as no surprise because the UN tilted to Communist states from the start.

In the waning days of World War II, Stalin’s foreign minister Andrei Gromyko suggested U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss as the first UN Secretary General, the first and only time a Soviet leader recommended an American for an international post. Hiss was duly appointed acting Secretary General, so the Communists got the man they wanted.

“The GRU [Soviet military intelligence] considered Hiss to be one of Moscow’s most important spies,” Christina Shelton, author of Alger Hiss: Why He Chose Treason, told Jamie Glazov in 2012. From his post in the State Department, Hiss enabled Moscow to break codes and tap into American diplomatic traffic.

At the opening UN conference in San Francisco in May-June of 1945, Hiss brought along Stalinist screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who wrote the speech of Secretary of State Edward Stettinius. The Secretary of State, who had been under the wing of Hiss and Harry Hopkins, requested an autographed picture of Trumbo, but later denied he ever knew the screenwriter.

Stettinius became U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, first headed by Norwegian Trygve Lie. The newfound UN did nothing to liberate eastern Europe from Soviet control. When Hungarians rebelled in 1956 the UN under Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld, stood by as the Soviet Communists crushed the rebellion, as they did the “Prague Spring” of 1968.

The Soviet Union retained control of eastern Europe and from 1972 to 1981 made gains in southeast Asia, Africa and Central America. The UN Secretary General at the time was Kurt Waldheim, as the New York Times noted, a former Nazi in a sturmtruppen unit that “executed thousands of Yugoslav partisans and civilians and deported thousands of Greek Jews to death camps from 1942 to 1944.” None of that appears in Waldheim’s official UN biography.
