also, from what I”m seeing that UN convention does not prohibit ocean floor mining beyond a country’s territorial limits but has an idiotic provision that seems to require 1/2 (an equal mining plot to the one being mined) going to the frickin’ UN agency in charge, along with “technology transfers” over a 10-20 year period, i.e., anyone mining on the ocean floor beyond a nation’s territorial limit has to give up 1/2 their claim and then all of their technology to a UN agency..... great, what world socialist bozos come up with this crap?
We know who “they” are. UN needs an income stream to keep molesting children, don’t you know.
I have a frikking bonehead up the street from me who flies a UN flag and has a UN bumper sticker.
I have this thing, when I see something like that, I want to see the person’s face, to see if they live up to my preconceptions of what a raging liberal looks like.
I saw the guy a few weeks ago...yep. Looked the part.
“what world socialist bozos come up with this crap?”
Probably jotted down by some dipshit NYU Law professor while sipping a cup of coffee at a Horn and Hardart Automat. He mails it to some State Department flunky in Washington who sneaks it into a 10000 page draft of an international treaty on its way up for a presidential signature.
Just another garden variety GLOBAL redistribution of wealth scheme. General question I've asked a number of times that generates a cricket symphony: Under what authority does the U.S. CONTROL drilling outside of our 12 mile territorial waters???
