U.N. Constitution for the Oceans...a Done Deal

"...the treaty establishes for the first time a commercial venture called the "Enterprise" that will charge $250,000 for the right to mine the ocean sea beds. Since this a U.N. treaty, proceeds will go to the U.N."

This revenue stream will allow the U.N. to put money in the bank in order to expand it power and scope.

That's no good for us. Of course, leftists will love it.

Please provide a working link, or I will pull this thread, too. Thanks.

They will need it after we quit paying the dues and kick their sorry butts out of the country.

Hey. The UN goons need new black limos every couple years.

God owns the oceans.

Thank you. I made the change at the top of the page.

Expect piracy and "unlicensed" operations to happen if it ever becomes commercially viable. They oceans cover 70% of the planet. No way can they patrol all of it.

The UN will use this ill-gotten money constructively: to redecorate their offices and buy panties for their secretaries.

[freekitty]

You know, they need to put the Clintons behind bars so they will not be the fronts to whoever takes over the world.

IMO, it won't pass in the senate. Have you seen any credible source/speech that show that W is really supporting this treaty?

LOST is an extremely serious power grab that would weaken American sovereignty and transfer power to the UN and other international bodies.

Lugar is the key traitor here.

U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty Threatens U.S. Sovereignty

Big Trouble for Law of the Sea

A United Nations treaty awaitinag confirmation before the Senate, national security experts warn, would, if approved, cripple the U.S. Navy, empower potential enemies including China, make the nation vulnerable to submarine cruise-missile attack, and help terrorists. Nonetheless, momentum has been building stealthily in the Senate to ratify the treaty. And this time Republicans can't point fingers at their liberal Democratic colleagues or even at the former Clinton administration. The culprits behind the sneak move, Capitol Hill sources say, are senior Republican senators and key figures in the administration of President George W. Bush.

At issue is the U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), which has been in the works since the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and the so-called Non-Aligned Movement tried to use the United Nations to wrest control of the seas from the United States and its allies. Under LOST, a global U.N. agency called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) would take control of the world's oceans, seven-tenths of the earth's surface. The ISA would not be accountable to dues-paying members but would be a self-financing entity imposing a tax on countries that exploit natural resources on the ocean floor.


In 1982, President Ronald Reagan refused to sign the treaty, officially called the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS). But President Bill Clinton signed it in 1994, claiming that provisions that attack U.S. interests had been changed, and asked the Senate to ratify it.

Not really, nor have I heard him come out against it -- remember the ONE WORLD AND WTO AGENDA of the Bush dynasty. It is real and one of the reasons Papa is so buddy-buddy with Billy Boy Clinton. Anything with the UN in the middle of it, is trouble, because of who and what makes up the UN. There is much more to this ploy that has risen to the surface...

"I venture that since the Law of the Sea is a
done deal that this new agreement will be
made part of the Law of the Sea legislation –
or perhaps it will be the other way around.
Since "we the people" have become nothing
more than serfs with government collecting our
tax dollars and using them without
representation, it is our freedoms, using the
treaty's acronym, that have been LOST!"

A very true statement. When I voted for Bush, I was under the impression that he would put a stop to this kind of overthrow through international treaties. Sadly I was wrong.
From the Clinton administration right through the Bush administration our rights go marching right off the cliff. No difference in the two. Bush, Clinton Bonesmen for life.
And still no difference in the two. Clinton sold the American people out for campaign cash and Bush sold us out to cover Clinton's butt.

[PositiveCogins]

Bush will support it. Consider it a done deal. When has Bush ever refused to sign anything?

Another one of his massive failures in domestic policy -- TOTAL FEAR OF THE VETO PEN.

[penowa]

Just one more reason why it makes no sense to keep voting for the Republicans. Bush and Lugar have pushed this. More one world crap.
