before the Grand Jury.16 Trygve Lie. The first elected secretary-general of the United Nations, Trygve Lie, was a Norwegian socialist. Lie was a high-ranking member of the Social Democratic Labor Party in Norway, an offshoot of the early Communist International, and a strong supporter of the Soviet Union on virtually every issue. It was hardly surprising then that the Soviet Union led the campaign to elect Lie as secretarygeneral. One of Lie’s principal causes was the admission of Red China to the UN, which was also a primary objective of the Soviet Union. Dag Hammarskjšld. Lie was succeeded by another Scandinavian socialist who was openly sympathetic to the world communist revolution. Hammarskjšld once stated in a letter to a friend that "... Chou En-lai to me appears as the most superior brain I have so far met in the field of foreign politics." This he spoke of the man who, together with Mao Tse-tung, was responsible for the murder of between 34 million and 64 million Chinese.17 It was Hammarskjšld who was primarily responsible for the early planning and direction of the UN’s brutal war against Katanga (see Chapter 2). When Soviet troops invaded Hungary to crush the 1956 uprising, Hammarskjšld turned a deaf ear to the Hungarian freedom fighters. As secretary-general, he persecuted the courageous Danish UN diplomat Povl Bang-Jensen, who refused to turn over the names of Hungarian refugees who had testified in confidence to a special UN committee. U Thant. Burmese Marxist U Thant continued and intensified an anti-American, pro-Soviet tradition begun by his predecessors. While ignoring the massive human rights abuses — torture, slaughter, imprisonment — of the communist regimes, Thant slavishly followed the Soviet line by condemning Rhodesia and South Africa as terrible human rights violators. During the Vietnam War, Thant continually used the rostrum of the Secretariat to place the blame for the war on the United States. Secretary-General Thant revealed a great deal about both himself and the organization which he headed with his statement in 1970 that the "ideals" of Bolshevik dictator and mass-murderer Lenin were in accord with the UN Charter. "Lenin was a man with a mind of great clarity and incisiveness," Thant said, "and his ideas have had a profound influence on the course of contemporary history." The Burmese Marxist continued: "[Lenin’s] ideals of peace and peaceful coexistence among states have won widespread international acceptance and they are in line with the aims of the U.N. Charter."18 For his personal staff assistant, Thant chose Soviet KGB officer Viktor Lessiovsky with whom he had established a friendship in the early 1950s.19 Kurt Waldheim. When U Thant retired on December 31, 1971, the Soviet Union was ready with a replacement. Austrian Kurt Waldheim was its choice, and for good reason. He had deep, dark secrets that would assure his usefulness to them. During World War II, Waldheim not only wore the uniform of the Third Reich, but also worked with Yugoslavian communist leader Tito. "As soon as he was safely in office [as UN secretary-general], Waldheim planted over 250 Russians in key posts," revealed foreign affairs expert Hilaire du Berrier. "His immediate circle was composed almost completely of Titoists.... When Tito met his old friend at the UN, he hugged him to his breast and gave him a decoration — a great honor for a man who had massacred Serbs, Slovenes, Montenegrans and other Yugoslavs."20 During his reign as secretary-general, the Establishment media kept Waldheim’s Nazi-Communist past under wraps. During the 1970s, while Waldheim was praising communist dictators and dictatorships, The John Birch
