Creeping World Government, Coming Soon To A neighborhood Near You

Ironically, it is the “selfish” North American timber industry that has been the most profound impetus for reforestation and management projects. In fact, the UN State of the World’s Forests Report (2002) stated that North American forests had increased by ten million hectares in the last ten years. Such statistics invite the question: why is the UN attempting to regulate US forestry?

Damn good question. Further, what does the un think they will do if they "feel" we are not abiding? Move our forests somewhere else? The un needs to get it's worthless a$$ OUT of the U.S.

[SirLurkedalot]

Not that soon. We still have our guns.

The agreement [UN - ITTA] purports to establish a timber market that is not only “fair” to all nations, but supportive of sustainable development ideals – that is, the environment should take precedence over selfish corporate concerns.

Ping.

That last for you.

Here, here....... time to kick those bastards out of our country!

My fervent desire is for the next four or eight years we (the federal government) begin to, and continue to, lock up these eco terrorists and their enablers.

Give them paper and pencil (w/ no eraser) so after they work at hard labor for twelve hours, 24/7, they may write their memoirs.

More UN takeover.

They own the politicians, rivers and parks and now they want
to make our laws, I call that a take over...........

clinton should be sent to live in a third world country, broke and hungry, then maybe he will see what he has cost this country, with his communistic plans.

Just as we used to have freedom of the individual to use his/her property freely, we used to have national sovereignty to decide for ourselves what is best.

Stop paying into the UN. Get the UN out of the US.

So the "selfishness and greed" of our timber industry has lead to a net increase in timber, [ignore that that industry was dragged kicking and screaming to that position]
while in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil, forests are being lost at rates that are not sustainable and the UN wants to potentially tell us what we can do or not do?
Can we tell this body to leave? Can we ignore them? Each and every move they make is designed to cripple the US, to handicap this country, to defeat this country's success all while praying we will willingly accept it and support those decisions that are NOT in our best interests.
It seems so obvious and is frustrating that its not clear to more people.

Time to send the UN and the Internationalists packing.

[Natural Law]

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

The UN needs to go.

Can you give us cites for that? Press releases from Greenpeace, RAN, Sierra Club, et al, don't count.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Preserving the environment is not the UN's goal, the environment is the excuse that will allow control. With control UN officials and their partners can divvy up the excess profits that result form the elimination of competition.

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

[hedgetrimmer]

Preserving the environment is not the UN's goal

Agreed.

To control WATER. That is the one and ONLY reason.

When Arnie turned control of 25 million acres over to the Sierra Conservancy a couple of days ago, he gave them control of 65% of Kalifornias water.
