We as spiritual beings or souls come to earth in order to experience the human condition. This includes the good and the bad scenarios of this world. Our world is a duality planet and no amount of love or grace will eliminate evil or nastiness. We will return again and again until we have pierced the illusions of this density. The purpose of human life is to awaken to universal truth. This also means that we must awaken to the lies and deceit mankind is subjected to. To pierce the third density illusion is a must in order to remove ourselves from the wheel of human existences. Love is the Answer by means of Knowledge and Awareness!

Is the U.N. Running Brothels in Bosnia?
By Wendy McElroy

If prostitution is illegal in Bosnia, then why — in the presence of some 
20,000 NATO peacekeepers and thousands of other U.N. officials, policemen 
and aid workers — has sexual trafficking in the region become an 
international scandal?

One answer may be that the United Nation's police force may be turning a 
blind eye or, even worse, participating in the sex trafficking itself. It 
certainly seems that, as the scandal emerges, the corruption reaches upward 
into the United Nations.

Last summer, American Kathryn Bolkovac, a former Nebraska police woman, was 
fired from the U.N.'s International Police Task Force. Bolkovac claims it 
was because she spoke out against the United Nation's involvement in sex 
trafficking. Through interviews with 85 women coerced into sex, Bolkovac 
learned that U.N. officers were not only using the women for sex but also 
seemed to be active in the business end — for example, the forging of 
documents to transport young girls across national borders.

The young girls are from desperately poor nations like Romania. Many 
reportedly answer ads for "legitimate" work only to be kidnapped, taken 
across borders and enslaved in brothels that operate with the full 
knowledge of the local authorities.

After Bolkovac advised various U.N. officials about the sex ring, IPTF 
Deputy Commissioner Mike Stiers decided that Bolkovac was psychologically 
worn out. Although an extension of her contract had been recommended prior 
to the e-mail, she was transferred to a suburb of Sarajevo, then fired. 

Bolkovac stated, "Those responsible ... did not want to hear about this."
Douglas Coffman, a spokesman for the United Nations in Sarajevo, denied the 
accusation, but Bolkovac is the not the first to hurl it. Stories of U.N. 
corruption were already appearing in the European press. David Lamb, a 
former Philadelphia policeman working as a U.N. human rights investigator 
in central Bosnia, leveled even more serious charges. He provided evidence 
that IPTF members were directly linked to forcing girls into prostitution. 
Most prominently, he named two Romanian officers who sold women directly to 
brothels. Lamb filed his findings. He found that "the opposition of the 
central [U.N.] Mission Headquarters was unbelievable."

The Washington Post reported on what happened next. "The United Nations 
quashed an investigation ... into whether U.N. police were directly 
involved in the enslavement of Eastern European women in Bosnian brothels, 
according to U.N. officials and internal documents."

Another difficulty in assessing the situation is that U.N. officials do not 
admit that anything is amiss. When asked about Lamb's allegations against 
the Romanian officers, Jacques Klein — the U.N. secretary general's special 
representative to Bosnia — declared, "I have absolutely no evidence, no 
record, and I'm unaware of any internal investigation into any alleged 
misconduct involving a Romanian police monitor."

A few weeks later, confidential U.N. documents revealed that Lamb had 
notified several U.N. officials about the two Romanians. Moreover, after 
Lamb departed, a Canadian officer, the Romanian government and an 
anti-corruption unit of the United Nations investigated the case in turn. 
Rosario Ioanna, the Canadian, issued a report similar to Lamb's, 
complaining that local U.N. authorities tried to close down the 
investigation. Yet the United Nations refuses to allow the Romanian 
policemen to be interviewed.

Subsequent U.N. investigations appear to be cosmetic. For example, an 
inquiry was instigated but, according to the Post, investigators didn't 
bother to contact Lamb or other whistleblowers. Not surprisingly, the 
inquiry found insufficient grounds to probe further.

The character revealed by the United Nations in Bosnia is particularly 
significant today. The agency is pushing hard to become a global 
government. In March, the U.N.'s High Level Panel of Financing Development 
will meet in Mexico and endorse recommendations that are expected to 
include: a World Taxing Authority, global taxes on fossil fuel and/or on 
all currency exchange and U.N. supervision of all international finance.
As the United Nations pushes for jurisdiction over the globe, it is 
important to remember how it has acted in Bosnia. The character of an 
institution, no less than of an individual, is revealed through actions, 
not words. It is revealed in the small behaviors. Such as the willingness 
to watch or participate in the selling of young girls into the living hell 
of Bosnian brothels.

The U.S. is the most powerful force opposing the United Nations. If America 
refuses to meet U.N. demands — and, as yet, the U.S. has not even paid its 
U.N. fees — then worldwide government will fail. If U.N. policy in Bosnia 
is a microcosm of what globalization would look like, then an autonomous 
and dissenting U.S. becomes the hope of the world.
