U.N. push for world government, advocates approval of key building block: Law of the Sea Treaty

[Paul Ross]

We don't need a UN ambassador at all, because we never should have a member of the UN in the first place.

Agreed. I am afraid that Bolton was mere window-dressing to rescue the popular acceptance of the U.N. in the U.S., so that it's tentacles can be further expanded.

Notice how the Bush Administration has the thrust-reversers on full about doing anything about the Oil For Food scandal. How they, and Colin Powell, went out of their way to muzzle Senator Norm Coleman's inquiry.

Kofi Annan should already be chained in an orange jump suit...rigt next to Saddam himself.

It is likely they are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They still want the U.N., just not as manifestly running amok usurping the U.S.-powers-that-be authority....

Any family ties to Frank Gaffney? If so, those would be rather tense family get-togethers...

The real "Key" piece of legislation will be the international social security number that is your credit card number for life. Till then the New World Order is but naughty child's play. Once the charismatic leader sells the number on the play that humanity is really God, join humanity, you buy bread with your soul.

Then the NWO will have real consequences.

Thanks for the ping

Why would Bush appoint Bolton then if he was so for this treaty and the UN? Your statement doesnt jive with whats going on.

What has Bush done to strengthen our sovereignty? He and his cronies pushed CAFTA which weakens our sovereignty, he won't take a stand and protect our borders, he has not stopped the military from prosecuting our soldiers for things they had to do in times of war.

Tell me, other than appointing Bolton to the UN (Which I feel we should simply opt out of) has he done to strengthen our sovereignty?

By the way, nothing has changed vis-a-vis our treaty with the UN. If and when thing change you can use that as example.

[Roccus]

If we were signatories of LOST at this time, what would happen to us when we start pumping out that toxic soup from NO. Would we be required to stop? Would we be fined some outrageous ten figure amount. Would the UN place sanctions against us?

[Quix]

Note post 35.

Note Ezekiel 35-39; Daniel 7-12;

Matt 24; Revelation all

Pay particular attention to the parts touching on the evil world government.

Remember that it's God Almighty writing.

It's not surprising who you find as signators of the letter.

[Ohioan]

'We ought not to entangle ourselves in really stoopid entanglements.' (Paraphrasing the Founding Fathers.)

Instead of paraphrasing, all Conservatives should take the time to read George Washington's Farewell Address. The admonitions are as timely today, as when it was written in 1796. Moreover, Washington's carefully presented reasoning behind his conclusions, is more apt than just about anything you will read today.

Farewell Address.

[Eastbound]

"One method of assault [by treaties, executive orders, etc., pro-active courts, congressional mis-chief] may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system; and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown."

(Bracketed comment mine)

Thanks for the link, Ohioan. It appears every admonition Washington offered was ignored -- and even to this day. We are so accustomed to being the re-actors to the whims of government we forgot that we the people are supposed to be the pro-actors.

Is it time to say that most of our Constitution has been overthrown indirectly?

[Ohioan]

Is it time to say that most of our Constitution has been overthrown indirectly?

One can certainly make that argument.

If you review the Congressional Debates, over the generations, you will note, I think, a decline in the amount of discussion that even takes place on the Constitutionality of legislation. At the same time, there has been an enormous increase in legislation completely outside anything even mentioned in the Constitution.

Your question is a very apt one.

[joesnuffy]

Socialist is as socialist does..

The Third Way Fourth Reich guys are even more deadly...

imo

[Eastbound]

Though we speak in generalities much the time, just about anything we can say has gone wrong can be backed up with solid research, thanks to many, many dedicated folks who are able to connect the dots and present the facts of their findings.

One such writer is D. James L. Hirsen, Ph.D., who has written a remarkable book entitled: "The Coming Collision -- Global Law VS. U.S. Liberties" (ISBN 1-563-84-163-0; Huntington House Publishers).

Dr. Hirsen sounds a critical alarm concerning the global activists and their plan to implement a global agenda using the "powerful weight of international law."

Definitely recommend this book should be in the hands of everyone concerned with the slow erosion of our personal liberties and our national sovereignty.

BUMP!

[Paul Ross]

And here is the other sovereignty-robbing debacle on the fast track...

[4integrity]

Agree. EVERYONE should be contacting their Senator/Congressperson, as well as, Frist, Hastert. This came up last year, then died a bit, now they're pushing it again. I emailed last year too. The "international tribunals" are very troubling!

[EternalVigilance]

Bttt...for attention to the global power grab that never seems to die.
