The big issue with LOST isn't about the ocean; it's about land use control.
This global bureaucracy will justify control of land use to "protect" the marine environment. It isn't hard to see. Many oceanic species breed in estuaries within the United States. Estuarine health isn't doing very well for a number of reasons (many of which politicized science will conveniently miss). The estuaries are fed by rivers. The rivers are lined with cities.
Marine sanctuaries and global biospheres are model for what is planned for LOST. If all we accomplish is to alter the treaty to gain protection for our military, we will have missed the point.
LOST is a straitjacket fully capable of crippling this nation (which certainly affects its ability to defend itself). That the White House says it knows nothing about it belies the fact that, according to the email I get from ALRA, the White House and Chuck Hagel are the instigators in pushing this treaty through in the dark of night after the Reagan Administration had rejected it out of hand.
The nexus of it is the UN. It is so twisted and intertwined with roads leading in all directions so as to confuse anyone trying to disect it. But disect it people can...if they have the guts to follow it through to where it ends up.
This includes the Statue of Liberty, Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello, the Washington Monument, the Brooklyn Bridge, Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite, the Florida Everglades and the Grand Canyon - to name just a few.
It boils down to controlling us or most likely profiting from us. It's disgusting.
If Bush approves this, we would deserve Hitlery. If we have become so apathetic to allow conservatives to bow to tyranny, we need a wake-up call. Maybe Hill can jolt America more than 9-11. I pray we never have to find out.
