Relations with the UN are likely going to take a dramatic change as Mr. Trump takes over as US President on January 20th. He’s even said as much. The recent betrayal of Israel in the UN by the US is a product of the Obama administration, an entity whose days are numbered.
Anyway, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is going to push the button this year to start the countdown to 2017 in Times Square. A symbolic act by a departing UN Secretary-General with the blessing of a departing US President. Neither will be missed.
The chief of the United Nations will be front and center as America rings in the new year, pushing the button that starts the Times Square New Year’s Eve countdown clock.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will push the Waterford crystal button that kicks off the official 60-second ball drop to the new year, per the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, co-organizers of the annual Times Square New Year’s Eve event.
Of course, all of this is NWO symbolic silliness. It may make some liberals teary-eyed, and think globalist thoughts, but that’s about all it’s worth. Here’s an example of such thinking:
“At a time when the world seems ever-more fractured, divided and disconnected the symbolism of our global celebration highlighting the United Nations and its Global Goals could not be more important,” said Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance. “Unlike too many other voices in the world today, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s legacy of bringing people and nations together, supporting refugee relief efforts and opposing war align perfectly with New Year’s hopes for a better and more just world.”
The event will mark the final act for Ban, of South Korea, as secretary-general: The last day of his 10-year term is Dec. 31. Portugal’s Antonio Guterres will take over on Jan. 1.
It’s an American tradition, and it would have been nice to have an American perform this ceremonial task. Instead it’s an attempt to push the globalist mindset. At any rate, one good thing that can be said is that when the ball gets to the ground, Ban’s tenure as head of the UN is over. And that’s worth celebrating.
