I recently was sent this from someone who is on a Republican distribution list, and I am wondering what affect the 2000 elections will have-if what is written below turns out to be the truth?
UN's CHARTER FOR GLOBAL DEMOCRACY...THE "FINAL SOLUTION" FOR AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
By: Tom DeWeese

"The bedrock of every country's international relations must be the mission
of using the United Nations system as the machinery for working and acting
together." Shridath Ramphal, co-chairman, UN Commission on Global
Governance
"Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete, all states will recognize a
single , global authority and National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea
after all..." Strobe Talbott, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton
Administration
"It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by
individual nation-states, however powerful." Maurice Strong, co-chairman,
UN Commission on Global Governance
United Nation's leadership has made no attempt to hide its contempt for
American independence and national sovereignty. On September 6, 2000, The
United Nations will convene its Millennium Assembly in New York City to
restructure the UN in preparation for global governance.
On October 1, 2000 the Department of Justice, under Janet Reno is
schedualed to take control of military forces here in the united States of
America. ( See this URL:

The Assembly will bring together the largest gathering of world leaders ever
to meet under one roof. Their goal is to change the way governments operate.
The UN will be established as the central operating entity. All governments
will be redesigned to operate through the UN. Independent sovereign states
will essentially cease to exist. They will instead become "partners" in
global governance.
The UN's Charter for Global Democracy has been be created to essentially
replace the UN's fifty-year-old Charter. The Charter for Global Democracy is
written to establish the new procedures that will govern how nations will
interact with each other, as well as how they operate within their own
borders.
Republican leaders in the Congress, led by Senator Jesse Helms have demanded
that the UN reform itself or face losing U.S. support. Senator Helms' idea
of reform was to reduce bloated budgets,bureaucracies and wasteful paper
work. Instead, the UN has used the term "reform" to mean a stronger UN
that is "retooled" to become a global government. There simply can be no
other interpretation of the Charter.
We and everyone else lose our sovereignty
In September, when literally all of the leaders of the world, gather in
NewYork City for the UN's Millennium Assembly, they will meet for one
purpose - to change the world. Global Governance under the control of the
United Nations will be established. World leaders will vote to give the UN
oversight of all of the earth's land, air and seas.
They will vote to give the UN oversight of international conflicts. They
will give the UN the power to be judge and jury over violators of
international law.
They will give the UN oversight of financial institutions, commerce, trade
relations, labor relations, education and private property. Existing
national, state and local governments will remain to serve as conduits to
locally carry out UN policy. The Millennium Assembly is the final act in a
UN drive for power that began a decade ago. The UN has been preparing for
global governance over those ten years through a series of international
conferences, treaties and reports.
It's been five years since the UN released its blueprint for global
governance in a 1995 report called "Our Global Neighborhood." That report
detailed UN plans that will now be placed into action through the Charter
for Global Democracy which will be voted on and approved by the world
leaders at the Millennium Assembly. First, the Charter will change the
actual structure of the United Nations. Officially, it calls for the
consolidation of all international agencies to be placed under the direct
authority of the UN.
But Maurice Strong, co-chairman of the UN Commission on Global Governance,
issued a 95 page report in 1997 which outlined the steps necessary to
restructure the UN to fulfill its mission of global governance. That
restructuring would include eliminating the veto power and permanent member
status of the Security Council. Such a move would almost completely
eliminate U.S. influence and power in the world body.
Second, Strong's report calls for the creation of a new UN body called the
Assembly of the People. This new body is to become the real power of the UN.
It will be populated by hand-picked, non-government organizations (NGO's).
These groups are actually nothing more than activists representing private
organizations with political agendas. The UN is the only power than can
recognize and sanction an official NGO organization.
They do not represent average people. They answer to no one but their own
agendas. They will not be elected to this post by anyone outside of the UN
structure. Leading NGO's include radical environmental groups like the
Sierra Club and population-control groups like Planned Parenthood. Once the
Assembly of the People is in place, groups such as these will meet and plan
UN policy to govern us all. Strong's restructuring ideas are represented in
the Charter for Global Democracy and will be voted on by the world leaders
in September.
A key issue of UN leaders is the need for more money. Almost every paper,
report and statement by UN leaders lament its lack of funding to pay for its
massive new roll in global governance. Of particular concern is the desire
for independent funding that does not rely on donations and dues from member
nations.
In 1996, then-UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali publicly suggested
a global tax to fund the UN. The idea was met with strong opposition from
the United States. The UN retreated from the idea and indicated that it
wasn't really serious. Yet again, the idea is included in the Charter for
Global Democracy.
Specifically, the Charter would give the UN domain over all of the earth's
land, air and seas. In addition it would give it the power to control all
natural resources, wild life, and energy sources, even radio waves. Such
control would allow the UN to place taxes on everything from development; to
fishing; to air travel (that tax is already collected); to shipping.
Anything that could be defined as using the earth's resources would be
subject to UN use-taxes.
The Charter also calls for the regulation by the UN of all transnational
corporations and financial institutions. In this way the UN would control
international markets and monetary policies. A massive tax called the "Tobin
Tax" has been suggested. This amounts to a tax or "fee" on every
international financial transaction. This one tax would generate an
estimated $1.5 trillion for UN coffers. For the average American it would
have a irect effect on pension funds, IRA's and personal investment
transactions.
Such taxes would be collected by the establishment of a global IRS.
Taxpayers in the United States well know the massive power held by our own
IRS. But with the establishment of such a global power there would be no
appeal to elected representatives. There would be no chance of public
hearings to hold the agency accountable. There would be no control.
Clearly, implementation of the Charter for Global Democracy would produce
massive wealth for the UN, resulting in the concentration of massive power.
Such power would be controlled by the establishment of an international UN
army. The army would answer to no nation. It would have the power to take
action in any nation the UN directed it to. The UN would have the power to
force nations to house the soldiers on their own soil. An international
police state would replace national defense forces. The UN army is one of
the main points to be voted on in the Charter for Global Democracy.
Finally, the Charter sets up a series of international rules based on
radical environmentalism that will control property and commerce. It will
require the enforcement of all UN "Human Rights" treaties, some of which
even dictate how parents will raise their children. To assure that these
international laws are obeyed, the Charter also calls for the establishment
of an International Court of Justice that will be compulsory for all
nations.
The United States Constitution guarantees everyAmerican the right to a trial
by jury; the right to face our accusers and the right to full disclosure of
the charges against us. Under the UN rules for the Criminal Court, none of
these are guaranteed. Most Americans believe that such a court is being
established to bring international outlaws like Sadam Hussein to justice.
That is not the case however. Under this new UN court, even private citizens
are subject to trial. Will the United States fall for the UN's trap? Will
our elected leaders allow the Charter for Global Democracy to usurp our own
Constitution?
The fact is many in Congress fail to see the UN as a threat. Ask your
elected representatives if any of this is possible and most will deny it as
simple paranoia from the "black helicopter" crowd. But every word of this
report has been taken from UN documents. The Millennium Assembly will take
place in September. The world leaders will be there. And the Charter For
Global Democracy will be voted on. What other conclusion can be drawn?
Others will count on the Congress to refuse to ratify such a Charter. That
is probably true. But there is another danger. President Bill Clinton has
already stated his support for the Charter. He has a history of ignoring
Congress and implementing his agenda through the use of Executive Order.

Several UN treaties have gone unratified by Congress, including the
Biodiversity Treaty and the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty. Yet, Bill Clinton
has already begun to enforce their provisions through Executive Order - and
Congress has taken no action to stop him. In 1776, with the stroke of a pen,
the Declaration of Independence marked the beginning of the greatest
experiment in national government ever conceived. Today, however, unless
Congress stands united - determined to block not only the UN Charter, but
also every effort to implement it - it will take only the stroke of Bill
Clinton's lame-duck pen to change our nation, and history forever.
