The IRS has never had a problem enforcing payment of taxes and if the U.S. signs a treaty agreeing to pay taxes to the UN taxes will be payed to the UN. The agencies of collection and enforcement are already in place.
Exactly, by threat of force; pay or go to prison.
...and if the U.S. signs a treaty agreeing to pay taxes to the UN taxes will be paid to the UN.
If the U.S signs such a treaty, the U.S. as we know it will have ceased to exist. This is the primary reason to reject liberals, socialists and communists (forgive the redundancy).
Right. And then we laugh mockingly at them, I followed you that far, then what do we do?
You seem to have missed some of the salient points of the article. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has already approved it under the stewardship of Sen. Lugar who refused to allow any dissenting testimony. When called the staff in his office replies "we are not allowed to comment on that subject." Sen. Lugar is pushing for Bill Frist to call for a unanimous consent vote on it. That occurs with a show of hands and no recorded vote IIRC. From there it needs one more signature, the Presidents.
As Frank Gaffney sees it the Pres. himself is probably unaware of the full scope of this treaty and it appears that members of his administration, including Dick Cheney, are in favor of it due to parts of the treaty that are quite attractive and even positive.
It is more than halfway accomplished with only three published articles about it. In short, now is the time to stop it or forever hold our peace and it seems that no more than half a dozen FReepers consider it the least bit important.
Cute isn't it? It's all about how you prefer your control . . . with a side of democrat or a side of republican?
They don't have to anymore - America is too polarized now. They do what they want all the time asking, "So? Who were you planning on voting for instead?"
All media is owned by globalists and their corporations - look at Murdock and Turner. Do we get the straight schtick from the right or left media - nopers. It the rich against the world.
We had better get urgent in our presentation and do it fast, so the public gets that this is NO joke.
Too late - the "public" will never see the light of this. However, individuals can do whatever we can to let people know on an individual basis and FR is probably as a good a place as any.
You're right. The good thing about a unanimous consent vote is that one dissenter, one nay vote, and it is blocked. FWIW I'll call Leahy and Jeffords on Monday.
As for Rush, I love him but he never touchs anything that smacks of "NWO", not usually. He does occasionally say something about giving up sovereignty to the UN so I suppose it's worth a shot. Hannity is the same I think. Who can guess what O'Reilly will think? If he decided it was an issue for him he would be a bulldog.
They are all worth a shot. I will compose an intro with links to send them in the morning. The more who do that the more likely they will see it and consider it.
Law Of The Sea By Dark Of Night By Paul M. Weyrich March 3, 2004
John Kerry’s Treaty - Outsourcing sovereignty
Would you care to throw us some opinions?
I predict the people will finally get it when Agenda 21 and all the other UN -American NEW WORLD ORDER SOCIALISTIC crappola is in full swing. Than the people will start in with comments like, 'why didn't somebody do something' or 'how come we never heard of this stuff before', bla bla bla.
It never ceases to amaze me at how our forefathers with no telephones, radios, internet, televisions, etc. etc. etc. were able to get the messages out to the masses and call forth the rallying cry to liberty.
I guess the difference with them back than and with us now is that they lived under the tyranny and that it was in your face out in the open. Whereas the people of this country (in modern times) have been way too complacent within their gilded cages for so long they could care less whether they actually have liberty or not. They (blindly) take it for granted as they go to the DMV to get their travel permits (aka drivers license). Pay their yearly tribute (aka, property taxes) to the STATE for allowing them to live in what they perceive is their home, and all the other UN -Constitutional licenses and permits they believe is necessary in order to carry out their lives in the land of the once free.
One of the main problems we have is the media and the courts.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes.
We are jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
Herein is where I believe the people will finally wake up. When they can't afford their big screen tv's, new cars, etc. Than they'll wake up but, by than it'll be to late.
Having been paying attention to what Colorado's senators are doing since we got married, my cowboy, I wonder if Senators Wayne Allard and Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who both received the 'Hero of the American Taxpayer' Award from Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, could be the dissenting voices we hope to hear on LOST? In order to be considered for this award, members of Congress must consistently vote with and represent the interests of American taxpayers. LOST is not in the interest of American taxpayers, to say the least.
Contact these two senators and others by this link.
Here is my letter to Sen. Allard:
To the Honorable Senator from Colorado, Wayne Allard,I understand that Sen. Luger has brought out of committee TREATY DOC 103-39, and that he has asked Majority Leader Bill Frist for a "unanimous consent" vote on this Law of the Sea Treaty.
As I read it, LOST gives the United Nations new power to subvert our Constitution, institute new taxes, and control sea travel, exploration and harvesting of resources within 12 miles of our shores.
Therefore in the interest of American Sovereignty and to deny the U.N. the power to tax American citizens, please be the dissenting voice for the American People in the Senate on this nightmare treaty, which President Reagan rightly assigned to the ash heap of history.
Thank you for your service not only to Colorado but to all of America.
To the Honorable Senator from Colorado, Ben Nighthorse Campbell,(I think there may be a glitch in his email program; I submitted this letter 4 times!)Congratulations on earning the "Hero of the Taxpayer" award from ATR! I am writing in reference to a new assault on the American taxpayers brought forth by Sen. Luger.
As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) has revived TREATY DOC 103-39, and has asked Majority Leader Bill Frist for a "unanimous consent" vote on this Law of the Sea Treaty.
As I read it, LOST gives the United Nations new power to subvert our Constitution, institute new taxes, and control sea travel, exploration and harvesting of resources within 12 miles of our shores.
Therefore in the best interests of America - to deny the U.N. the power to tax American citizens - please be the loudly dissenting voice for the American People in the Senate on this new form of taxation and backdoor thievery of American Sovereignty.
With many thanks for your service to America
