The UN, left to itself, will end up giving corruption and socialism a bad name. Joseph Klein has written Global Deception to show why. He pinpoints the UN's greatest threat in his subtitle: The UN's Stealth Assault on America's Freedom.
The corruption of the UN leadership, and its heavy hitter supporters such as Canadian oil billionaire, Maurice Strong, is a litany of hypocrisy on a par with the glitterati of Hollywood. "Do as I say, not as I do."
Most readers are aware of Kofi Annan, the pious critic of greedy capitalists, who plunged so deeply into the Oil for Food scandal that he smells like an Iraqi oil well. Perhaps not as many are familiar with Maurice Strong who wants Americans to lose millions of job and to live in poverty so that his earth-hugging theories can be imposed on America -- and the rest of the West. Strong is a Malthusian through and through who "knows" that it is impossible for Mother Earth to support as many people as are presently living. (Ever wonder why environmentalists don't want DDT used that could have saved the millions who have died from malaria?)
This has not kept Strong from investing in a robber-baron auto company in Communist China so that he can export SUV's at 30% under the competition now in the US. The Chery Automobile Company is a mega-polluter, but it seems to be OK if Strong is making money thereby.
The proper response to Maurice Strong's pagan religion spelled out in his Earth Charter is laughter -- more than any of the late night comedians can evoke. Strong actually cooked up a pompous ceremony for marching his Earth Charter into the UN's holies of holies in New York City. The Charter was contained in an Ark of Hope -- obviously for him, an improvement on the Ark of the Covenant which contained the Ten Commandments Moses brought down from the mountain. Strong's pollution-belching SUV factory in China violates his own Earth Charter. Do you suppose that New York Times investigative reporters are, gas masks at the ready, on the trail of this?
But as Klein points out in Global Deception, corruption and hypocrisy is not the greatest threat to America's freedoms. Rather, it is a very carefully developed stealth campaign to steal America's freedoms while we are not looking.
He provides a detailed account of how the pro-abortion forces are working through Non Governmental Organizations (NGO's) to lobby at the UN (which funds many of the NGO's) to advance socialism as the tyranny of choice for a world government run out of the UN.
After Klein reviews the workings of the pro-abortion NGO's, he ends up with a general game plan that is being followed in other areas such as guns. This is the heart of the stealth campaign against America's freedoms.
A favorite of the stealth campaigners is to have the UN set up "impact committee reviews" of a particular issue. These are not committees of an elected body comprised of popularly elected members. Impact committees, like the stakeholder councils which are used to strangle landowners' rights, produce self-serving statements designed to push legislatures, especially the recalcitrant elected bodies in the United States, toward the NGO's desired objectives.
A related tactic finds the NGO's "helping" legislatures produce the politically correct votes. This actually means that foreigners are lobbying legislative bodies in the U.S. We are supposed to accept that, but apologize for the "unilateralism" of the US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, when he criticizes the UN.
The end game is to capitalize on the growing menace to our freedom in the growing lawlessness of the US judicial system. Right now there is a lawsuit against a couple of federal agencies brought by two NGO's on an environmental matter. They got the case accepted on the basis of the unratified (by the US) Kyoto global warming treaty. This shows where this is all heading -- this is the kind of international "law" that US courts are willing to accept instead of the Constitution the judges take an oath to uphold.
Regarding firearms, the UN has been frantically seeking to disarm American citizens. Thanks to John Bolton at the UN, the US has refused to sign on to global gun registration treaties. But right now, the UN, working in cahoots with the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) has managed to dry up many gun parts coming into the United States.
This backdoor gun control has been pulled off in a truly stealthy fashion. Many firearms factories are in countries which ill advisedly signed on to a UN gun control agreement (the Small Arms Treaty). The Treaty enables the UN to require that ratifying countries and their firearms companies go through the UN as a clearing house for all small arms and ammunition sales. Having done this, the UN now requires that all transactions be done with Euros rather than US dollars. This has jacked up the price by one third for guns and ammo orders as far back as three years. The price increased because Euros are more expensive for holders of US dollars. This is a stealth attack worthy of currency manipulator and gun control fanatic, George Soros.
The BATFE has chimed in with further restrictions on what handguns can be imported. They can easily do this be simply changing the definition of what is a sporting arm. Since the BATFE has no technical manuals or procedures written down, they can be as capricious as they think they can get away with.
In a related arena, political correctness has probably driven the destruction by the US military of arms and ammo found in Iraqi caches. Much of what was found in these caches could have been sold to reduce the burden of the cost of the war -- and to lower prices in the US for those items.
We don't really need to reform the UN, as nice as that sounds. We need to leave the UN and remove it from any presence in the US. When the US needs to talk to other countries in any multilateral fashion, we can host a meeting of ambassadors from countries representing the Coalition of the Willing. That is true multilateralism, not the perverted multilateralism that the UN has come to mean. Think of UN-style multilateralism as a code word for Kofi for World Kleptocrat-in-chief.
Historically, think of the matter this way. George III's kleptocracy sought to sustain itself by assaulting the freedoms of English colonists in America. Kofi Annan is simply the political great grandson of England's King George III. Let's give Kofi a red coat and treat him accordingly.
"Famous Anus" should retire. He has a future handing out restroom towels in some nightclub..

Someplace in my files I have a photo of the Ark as it was shipped down the Hudson River from where it began in Vermont with indoctrinated school children. If I locate it, I'll post it.
Maurice Strong and Gorbachev have the same philosophy.

We should become familiar with the Earth Charter, as it is the blueprint that has been set out for our future. My daughter received a copy in her political science class. It is intended to indoctrinate schoolchildren and churchgoers. It is passed off as benign interest in the environment. The document gets worse as it goes along. Look at the end for its restrictions on the use of the military. Click on "Read the Earth Charter" and "List of Organizations Endorsing the Earth Charter"
http://www.earthcharterusa.org/earth_charter.html
Try putting Mikhail Gorbachev in a Google search with "Earth Charter," "Green Cross," or "United Religions Initiative."
I started studying this a few years ago. Glad you are on board. The fact that your daughter received literature is very disturbing. This needs to be exposed big time. Is your daughter in HS or college? If she's in HS, have you confronted the teacher?
Recall what the UN did in Iraq when they encountered "stress"?
I know many who are familiar with "stress" -
Little creep Kofi was tooling around NYC with a gang of bodyguards illegally armed with HK auto-toys
The UN will push it just a tad more and they will feel "stress" and run for mommy
She received this from her commie college political science professor. Fortunately, she's a right-thinking young woman, and stands up for what she believes in class. Her final paper was on the International Criminal Court, which she criticized in flames. Her research and logic were unassailable, and she received an A, along with a comment from the commie prof that he wished she were on the other side of the issue.
By the way, ever since our church got involved with Purpose Driven Life (Rick Warren), things that sound like the Earth Charter have started creeping into sermons and messages from our Methodist bishop. We've also started receiving offering envelopes for some sketchy sounding stuff. One of the first lessons in the 40 Days of Purpose is to beware of dissenters of the program. Do you know anything about linkage of this program with the Earth Charter or UN lunatics?

I noticed collections for sketchy stuff from the Methodist Church about 40 years ago. Something about the collections taken up for the World Council of Churches didn't seem right, at the time I didn't know why. I kept seeing things that didn't seem right, finally about 20 years ago we walked away from the Methodist Church, now I see many things coming out of the Methodist Church that are definately not Biblical.
I can't directly link Rick Warren or any of his programs to the Earth Charter, or the UN, but I am a big time dissenter, as is my preacher, anyone bringing any of Rick Warren's writings into the Church would be immediately be shown the door.
COmbine this with the Agenda 21 bit and I would be real happy to just do away with the UN altogether.
Counter-UN bump.
Be sure to keep me informed if you find anything more on Warren.
This is a subject on which you are very knowledgable, even about the fact that it is being included in some churches literature without the churches having full knowledge of what the Earth Charter is all about!!
Nitnychik will be the one who knows all about it and I hope she sees your ping. It has been an 'ongoing' effort.
Hi, Smartie! How have you been these days?
Good emoticon: whistling in the dark
The Earth Charter is more insidious than may be obvious at first glance. It is a core document that underpins UN global conferences, so called "global civil society" and NGO's--non-governmental organizations. In our world, this is under the radar, but not in the parallel universe of the left.
Much of the document is vague twaddle, but there are some significant nuggets. My personal favorites (/s):
6b. Place the burden of proof on those who argue that a proposed activity will not cause significant harm, and make the responsible parties liable for environmental harm.
6e. Avoid military activities damaging to the environment.
7e. Ensure universal access to health care that fosters reproductive health and responsible reproduction.
9a. Guarantee the right to potable water...allocating the national and international resources required.
(My note: Ever wonder why the UN wants to get its hands on the fresh water of the Great Lakes?)
10a. Promote the equitable distribution of wealth within nations and among nations. (My note: from our treasury to theirs)
10b. Enhance the intellectual, financial, technical, and social resources of developing nations, and relieve them of onerous international debt.
10d. Require multinational corporations and international financial organizations to act transparently in the public good, and hold them accountable for the consequences of their activities.
16c. Demilitarize national security systems to the level of a non-provacative defense posture, and convert military resources to peaceful purposes, including ecological restoration.
16d. Eliminate nuclear, biological, and toxic weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
16e. Ensure that the use of orbital and outer space supports environmental protection and peace.
"Sustainability" is the benign sounding trojan horse that will give the globalists the right to decide how many children you can have, how health care should be rationed, who should die, how space and the oceans are to be controlled, how much the U.S. should be "taxed", curtailment of the ownership of private property, etc. The person behind the Earth Charter is Mikhail Gorbachev, working to defeat us by other means, and headquartered on our own soil at the Presidio in San Francisco. This isn't going away. We need to understand the plan, in order to fight the incremental steps along the way. Let's start with opposing the Law of the Sea Treaty.
I sell furniture to schools and it seems that most here in California are demanding 'green design' and sustainability in the materials and workmanship... or you can't even bid. Unfortunately for them most manufacturers are not willing to invest in the research/equipment etc... involved in working with new materials and finishes. AND... the client is not willing to pay the increased price! Seems we are at an impasse. Of course there are those manufacturers who are willing to prevaricate (lie) to make the client feel better.
I am not one of them... guess I won't be selling this market much longer.... : (
That's an interesting story. I never thought of school furniture as being harmful to the environment. Aren't trees a renewable resource? The tentacles of this movement are so numerous, it's hard to know where to begin to keep track of it.
