Symbiosis

NEW YORK Jan 10, 2007 (AP)— "Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said Wednesday the United Nations and the business community have the same objectives building strong economies, providing opportunities for people to earn a living, and ensuring that everyone can live in dignity."

KAB Interpretation : Joint operation to manage expenses and expansion, rice and bean wages for most workers worldwide.

"Even though business focuses on economic growth and profit while the United Nations works to promote peace and security, reduce poverty and ensure human rights, Ban said that "the United Nations and business need each other."

KAB Interpretation : The UN, a "peacekeeping" business, protects Business interests with the "peacekeeping" shield and Business focuses on profits, or business as usual.

"Ban told the Business Council for the United Nations and the Association for a Better New York in his first speech outside the U.N. since becoming secretary-general on Jan. 1 that business is increasingly aware of the "symbiotic relationship" between the U.N. and business."

KAB Interpretation : Symbiotic, i.e. intimate relationship, or - there's enough bribes, oil-for-food, child molesting, financial misconduct, graft, larceny, and palm grease for all the bigwigs in the "relationship".

"We need your innovation, your initiative, your technological prowess," he said. "But business also needs the United Nations. In a very real sense, the work of the United Nations can be viewed as seeking to create the ideal enabling environment within which business can thrive."

KAB Interpretation : UN will assure the "don't want to think about it" crowd that it's humanitarian to keep the restless natives calm so Business can thrive; "peacekeeping" troops create an ideal environment for prowessing.

U.N. efforts to maintain peace and eradicate poverty help stabilize the world economy and U.N. technical standards for aviation, shipping, telecommunications, trade, intellectual property rights and other areas are also critical to global economic operations, Ban said.

KAB Interpretation : Poverty is not being eradicated, it's the number of poor.

"Most important, Ban said, the values the U.N. advocates including freedom, justice and the peaceful resolution of disputes are the cornerstone of an interdependent world."

KAB Interpretation : When "disputes" cannot be resolved peacefully, and they never are, the UN passes a resolution, bends over, grabs its ankles, and gets re-solution by Business, then Business leaves a few dollars on the nightstand.

He noted that 3,000 businesses from more than 100 countries have signed the Global Compact, a voluntary agreement established in 2000 by the U.N. to promote human rights, good labor practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption standards for businesses. An unexpected benefit, Ban said, has been that the U.N. system is learning from working with businesses how to make its own operations more effective and efficient.

KAB Interpretation : Global Compact 2000, or - a world full of little worker people can now be more effectively and efficiently gangbanged.
