*** Center for Freedom and Prosperity Special Alert *** ATTENTION The European Union is pressuring the Bush Administration to support a cartel to prop up welfare states like France and Germany – even though the proposal will undermine America’s competitive advantage in the global economy. We need your help. Career bureaucrats at the IRS and Treasury Department want President Bush to participate in the European Union “savings tax directive,” even though this misguided scheme would allow foreign governments to tax income earned in America. We hope that you will contact the White House and your Member of Congress. Please...

First, President Clinton signed the International Criminal Court treaty just before he left office. Then, recently, President Bush “unsigned” said treaty, supposedly removing U.S. troops and citizens from the danger of prosecution by the unaccountable court. Then, our Big Pal, the United Nations, said that it didn’t count -- we were in the court’s jurisdiction anyway. “Oh, yeah?” said the American president. “I don’t think so!” Just to back up his position, the American president said that he would pull U.S. troops out of the Balkans. “Uncle!”, cried the U.N. We will give the Americans one-year immunity. “Sounds like a...

Blair suffers a double defeat on asylum seekers at Seville summit By Francis Elliott in Seville (Filed: 23/06/2002) European Union leaders yesterday moved to establish an EU border police force to patrol shores, ports and crossing points against illegal immigrants. The dramatic attempt to strengthen "fortress Europe" could mean foreign guards wearing an EU uniform patrolling in Britain. European leaders gather for a group photo at the end of the Seville summit The heads of government said that the moves were a stepping stone to the creation of a fully fledged European-wide force which would act in tandem with...

House Votes to Protect U.S. Troops From Globalist Court Wes Vernon, NewsMax.com Wednesday, May 29, 2002 WASHINGTON – The House has passed an appropriations measure that contains the Servicemembers Protection Act. If passed by the Senate (a tough task, see below), it would write into law President Bush’s rejection of the right of the new International Criminal Court, which the U.S. has not ratified, to try American military people on charges trumped up by enemies of America. The measure, sponsored by House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, passed by a vote of 280-138 early Friday just before the lawmakers went...

We live in a global world – a world in which all of the walls or barriers between countries have been effectively torn down. In 1945, the political walls were torn down when the United Nations was birthed as each country ceded sovereignty to a global organization. In 1980, the Monetary Deregulation Act was passed, which made it legal for Americans to invest overseas. At the same time, the Group of Seven developed countries passed similar laws beginning the integration of currencies, securities, money and investments. Now, all the nations of the world effectively invest in each others country. In...

Democrat Political Attacks Democrat insinuations that the President and Administration had prior knowledge of the September 11th tragedy is an outrageous political attack on the Commander-in-Chief during wartime. Principled dissent and disagreement are at the heart of democracy. However, principled dissent should not be confused with the political gamesmanship and partisan attacks being launched by Democrats. The insinuation that President Bush had prior knowledge of the September 11th attacks is nonsensical but not without precedent. Conspiracy theorists have long accused FDR of having prior knowledge of the December 7, 1941, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Conspiracy theories are as American...

Assistant Secretary of State John Turner asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to ratify six new environmental agreements. He said, "ratification of these agreements is not controversial and is generally supported by the public and private stakeholders." The reason they are not controversial is that only the "enlightened elite" environmental organizations have ever heard of them. One of the agreements is the SPAW Protocol to the Cartagena Convention. SPAW means "Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife"; the Cartagena Convention" is short for "Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of the Wider Caribbean Region." This 1983 treaty was...

Globalists are maneuvering America into a merger with the rest of the Western Hemisphere via "free trade" agreements. Their goal, as with the EU, is regional government. > America is being hijacked, but the hijackers don't go by names like Mohamed,t Omar, and Osama. The hijackers to whom we refer bear prominent names, such as Bush, Clinton, Kissinger, McLarty, Greenspan, Rubin, and Rockefeller. They don't use box cutters and bombs or commandeer airliners to create towering infernos; their weapons of choice are instruments such as the WTO, NAFTA, the IMF, and the FTAA. They hijack entire nations, stealing sovereignty and...

GLOBAL EARTH TRUSTEE AGENDA for the NEW MILLENNIUM By John McConnell - The Founder of Earth Day Introduction Back in 1933 Albert Schweitzer, a world renowned scholar, wrote that "the world is inexplicably mysterious and full of suffering." The human race has a long history of violence - war, hate and injustice. But in the midst of all this chaos and violence we find some people replacing conflict with cooperation, and fear with faith finding a common cause and cooperating for mutual benefit. In the human heart hope springs eternal. "Every time I hear a new-born baby cry, or touch...

The Trial of Marwan Barghouti Louis Rene Beres When the victorious allied powers established a military tribunal at Nuremberg on August 8, 1945, they reaffirmed an ancient principle of law: Nullum Crimen Sine Poena - "No crime without a punishment." In 1946, this reaffirmation was codified at Principle I of the legally binding Nuremberg Principles: "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment." These Nuremberg Principles, later formulated by the United Nations International Law Commission in 1950, stipulate: "Offenses against the peace and security of mankind... are crimes...

Ally of Ted Turner Represents U.S. at U.N. Cliff Kincaid, CNSNews.com Saturday, April 20, 2002 A board member from a pro-U.N. lobby group and former associate of controversial CNN founder Ted Turner has won a coveted post as a Bush administration representative to the United Nations. Richard S. Williamson, who once served with Turner on the board of directors of the United Nations Association (UNA), an officially "nonpartisan" group dominated by liberal Democrats, is now the alternate U.S. representative to the U.N. for special political affairs. The post carries with it the title of "ambassador" in the Bush administration. Turner,...

In speaking with a friend knowledgeable about the manner in which some Environmental groups obtain their funding, he told me he was ASTOUNDED that either Democrat or Republican Senators who support ANWR- and by the way there IS a majority of the SENATE that DOES INDEED support the well in ANWR, that they have not made public in the debate that the Saudis have for many years been FUNDING Environmenhtal groups in the U.S. to ensure that the U.S. does NOT become less dependent on foreign oil and that Americans are required to send our money to the Arab states....

- Can you imagine? On April 11 an International Criminal Court (ICC), which would claim moral and legal authority over the United States and the entire planet, was born. Among the several nations which ratified the treaty that day were, “such supposed havens of tolerance and due process as Cambodia, Romania, Jordan, and the so-called Democratic Republic of the Congo.” (1) We cannot let this pass. Here’s the truth. The real purpose of this court is to grant every communist, tyrant, thug, and radical activist, a day in court to prosecute the United States. Think about it, this epitomizes...

US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s visit here Monday sparked more than just the wrath of an anti-Washington mob, with some parties demanding that he be prosecuted as a war criminal. Despite Powell’s moderate position toward the Middle East crisis and his description by many as a “dove” in comparison with Pentagon hawks, activists here have levelled far-reaching accusations against the US diplomat-in-chief. Two Lebanese lawyers sent State Prosecutor Adnan Addoum an official notification, urging him to strip the visiting Powell of his diplomatic immunity and requesting that he be either arrested or expelled for his alleged role in war...

GERMAN SOCIALISTS PLOT GLOBAL TAXES ON AMERICANS Reprinted from NewsMax.com Bush-Bashing Left Pushes Global Taxes Cliff Kincaid Exclusive for NewsMax.com Wednesday, April 10, 2002 WASHINGTON – Bush-bashing was on display Tuesday as activists from Germany, the U.S. and other countries urged international pressure on the Bush administration to support global taxes, the creation of more global agencies, and drastic cuts in American living standards in the name of "sustainable development” for the world. Hilary French, who runs "Global Governance Project” of U.S.-based Worldwatch Institute, suggested that Americans had to get over "the sovereignty thing” and embrace global taxes. She endorsed...

BANFF, Alberta, April 14 (Reuters) - The divisions between the world's leading nations over the Kyoto protocol on global warming deepened dramatically on Sunday, when an informal discussion on climate change ended in disarray with both the United States and Canada looking increasingly isolated. Washington has been relentlessly attacked since abandoning Kyoto last year but after environment ministers from the Group of Eight leading nations ended their 45-minute meeting it was clear European leaders were fast losing patience with Canada's dithering over whether to ratify the accord. Ottawa, which is under heavy pressure from energy producers and several powerful provinces...
