A new era of U.N.-U.S. relations? mvcf.com
The new administration, and the new Congress, should take a long hard look at what the United Nations is becoming. It is no longer a forum where sovereign nations meet to discuss their disputes; it is rapidly becoming a sovereign entity in its own right, with the power to compel once-sovereign nations to comply with policies crafted by the United Nations and its various subsidiary bodies. Students of the United Nations know full well that originally, the institution was conceived to be a world government, to which all nations would be subservient. .............................................................................................................................. The Cold War prevented this general and complete disarmament, until the Berlin Wall collapsed. The original objective -- world government -- is, once again, on the front burner at the United Nations. .............................................................................................................................. The Framework Convention on Climate Change, with its subsequent Kyoto Protocol; the Convention on Biological Diversity; and the Convention to Combat Desertification are three treaties which go quite far toward giving the United Nations jurisdiction over all the land and natural resources on the entire planet. ............................................................................................................................... The Millennium Declaration adopted by 160 heads of state and the U.N. General Assembly in September 2000, embraced virtually all the recommendations contained in the report of the Commission on Global Governance. Among those recommendations is the elimination of the veto and permanent member status in the U.N. Security Council. ................................................................................................................................ No longer can the U.N.'s steady march toward global governance -- world government -- be discounted as the ranting of right-wing zealots. The question now is what should the new administration and the new Congress do about it? The first step is to stop the denial, and recognize that the U.N. agenda is, in fact, an integrated, deliberate effort to achieve the world government it has long coveted. |
