worldnetdaily.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are Americans headed for world government? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D. © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com A few days ago, eight black helicopters belonging to the elite Delta Force hit buildings in Kingsville, Texas with real explosives and live ammunition in a training exercise that scared local civilians. Similar events have occurred in Miami, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Washington, New Orleans, Los Angeles and other U.S. cities, including a Chicago suburb where they bombed an abandoned seminary. So what's the fuss about a military training exercise? Well, Tomas Sanchez in Texas is concerned, and he's no dummy. Sanchez is emergency management coordinator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and head of the military police unit of the Texas State Guard under the National Guard. He's also had 30 years service in Navy intelligence work with a top secret clearance, and he's one of the few people who've seen Presidential Decision Directive 25. Here's what he said about the Delta Force special operation: "The scenario if I were creating this ops plan [is that] martial law has been declared through presidential powers and war powers act, and some citizens have refused to give up their weapons. They have taken over two of the buildings in Kingsville. The police cannot handle it. So you call these guys in. They show up and they zap everybody, take all the weapons, and let the local Police Department clean it up." Sanchez and other military experts believe PDD 25 is the document being used to authorize such military action with the U.S., and he said, "It's a done deal. I think there's some UN folks involved in this thing too." Before you dismiss this as all part of some conspiracy nonsense, you should know that on February 20, 1997, Ronnie Edelman of the U.S. Department of Justice wrote a letter explaining the Clinton administration's views on the Second Amendment and handguns as follows: "The current state of federal law does not recognize that the Second Amendment protects the right of private citizens to possess firearms of any type." Relevant to the UN, when Boutros Boutros-Ghali was secretary-general, he supported the report of the Commission on Global Governance, which said: "We strongly endorse community initiatives to ... encourage the disarming of civilians." We also know that President Clinton has been deferential to the U.N., saying on Oct. 19, 1993, that his administration was engaging in a political process regarding Somalia "to see how we can ... do all the things the United Nations ordered to do." And U.S. Army Specialist Michael New was court-martialed several years later for refusing to wear U.N. insignia on his American military uniform. Are Americans headed for world government? Over a century ago, Cecil Rhodes developed a plan that would bring about a world government. On July 20, 1992, Bill Clinton's Rhodes scholar roommate, Strobe Talbott, wrote an article for Time, in which he declared: "Perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all," and "the case for world government" is "clinched." President Clinton made Talbott number two at the State Department, and in June 1993, the World Federalist Association gave Talbott its Global Governance Award for his article. On June 22 of that year, President Clinton sent a letter to the WFA noting that Norman Cousins, a past WFA president, had worked for world peace and "world government," and President Clinton concluded his letter by wishing the WFA "future success." All of this in no way means that the president and the U.N. are going to send military forces to your home to break down your door and confiscate your firearms. But the actions and quotations above are troubling and do not auger well for the future of our freedoms, rights, and national sovereignty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis L.

Interesting website for the World Federalist Association: geocities.com Only vaguely have I heard this group referred to before. Oh well, just another special interest group among thousands espousing their view of how they would like the world to be. I certainly don't agree with their view that we should be involved in Kosovo. I'd prefer to let the Serbs and Kosovars duke it out until they are so bloodied and tired that they realize they might just be better off burying their swords and getting along. We certainly don't need to be there. Let the Europeans strut their stuff and fix this problem. There are plenty of cultural antagonists killing each other around the world. Regards, Ron
