Should U.N. Broker Return of Alaska to Russia?
By Cliff Kincaid | June 29, 2007
At a recent Heritage Foundation symposium on the Law of the Sea Treaty....Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy calmly and methodologically delineated the problems with the treaty, and how U.S. national security could be adversely affected...
Gaffney had complained about the treaty, formally known as the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), creating a global tax mechanism. Under UNCLOS, now before the Senate, U.S. corporations would be required to pay taxes to an International Seabed Authority for the right to exploit ocean resources, including developing sources of energy for the American people.
In a release,(House Republican Whip) Blunt declared, "More than 25 years ago, President Reagan refused to commit this country to a treaty that would've weakened our sovereignty at home, and rendered American companies less competitive abroad…We need all the energy we can get, whenever and wherever we can get it. Submitting ourselves to an unelected, unaccountable international ocean bureaucracy when it comes to distributing what American companies rightfully mine doesn't strike me as a good thing to do 25 years ago, today, tomorrow, or in the future."
Yet the Bush Administration is vigorously pushing the Senate to ratify the treaty creating this global socialist entity.
Not surprisingly, the major media are backing ratification. The bias is evident in stories in the New York Times,... "the United States is on the sidelines for the moment, as conservatives in Congress delay ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, which governs all claims."
UNCLOS "governs all claims?" Since when did a U.N. bureaucracy acquire such power? And why should the U.S. acquiesce in this power grab?

One must be ever vigilant with a Bush in the White House. It's time to start on the Senators about this latest Bush attempt to give away our sovereignty.
Given my last response I could not help but ping you to this thread.
I’m getting increasingly reminded of Deus Ex, and President Mead. The UN has no authority whatsoever and its long past time it left our soil.
The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty might seem to be not important, but it will loom bigger and bigger. It is part of this discussion.
Suppose this is what Bush had to agree to, to keep Putin from claiming his already purchased Saddam’s oil for rotten food program????

Par for the course for this transnationalist administration.
How can a contract made with a dead dictator have any force?
Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. It’s that simple. No governmental body holds authority over the US. NONE!
WTF is WRONG WITH BUSH??????
He wants illegal invasions from Mexico.
Give up our oil and strategic reserves in Alaska.
His advisors are idiots and he is an idiot for listening to them
This guy can’t get out of office soon enough and I am sorry to say I voted for him BOTH TIMES.
Other than the WOT, my vote makes me look like a complete idiot! Not that a vote for Gore or Kerry would have been smart either.
We have to stop introducing village idiots to politics.
Stupid choices lead to stupid voters.
If Russia did take back Alaska, at least the oil in ANWR, Bristol Bay, and NPRA would be produced helping the world oil supply.
For thought:
International Seabed Authority, an international organization purportedly related to deep-sea mining.
From Marine Exploration:
>>>LOST would limit and regulate shipwreck salvage in international waters.<<<<
This would limit exploration by contractors such as Odyssey Marine Exploration with the ratification of the UN Sea Treaty.
OMR has mined:

The Search For Nazi Gold <<-OMR featured in this one
>>>background: Nazi generals stole the holecaust victims gold at the end of WWII, and then fled. A boat carrying it was sunk off the coast of Venezuela.
Also, there has been a large amount of gold scavanger hunts since 1999.

What is the point of a war on terror that fights them over there instead of here when the people in charge want to give here away anyway?
We all pretty much knew this was coming, I’ve emailed all the talkies that I could and asked they bring this topic up, but nada. Who has taken W and who is this man in the WH?
1. He wants illegal invasions from Mexico.
2. Give up our oil and strategic reserves in Alaska.
3. His advisors are idiots and he is an idiot for listening to them
1. Who is to say what someone else wants?
2. Nobody is giving up any Alaska resources, they simply aren't being developed.
3. They are imbeciles, not idiots.
Speaking from under my tin foil hat, are we really sure this is the same Bush we voted for?
alaska?
give..it..to..canada
then..bring..canada..into..a..union
if..anything,..that..makes..more..sense
See we have NO clue what the Clintons promised Yeltsin and there is NO way that Maddie Half-bright did not know the world community was buying Saddam’s oil.... Remember the nuclear deal the Russians made with Iran, well old Saddam and the old man Assad of Syria were working to broker that same kind of deal if the Russians could take the oil cartel away from the Saudis.... Look how close Putin became with the oil man of South America??
And I suppose the Un would create a navy to patrol and kep sea lanes open and free of pirates. NOT
