Some of my favorites from The Earth Charter http://www.earthcharterusa.org/earth_charter.html

(Emphasis mine)

10. a. Promote the equitable distribution of wealth within nations and among nations.

b. Enhance the intellectual, financial, technical, and social resources of developing nations, and relieve them of onerous international debt.

c. Ensure that all trade supports sustainable resource use, environmental protection, and progressive labor standards.

d. Require multinational corporations and international financial organizations to act transparently in the public good, and hold them accountable for the consequences of their activities.

14. a. Provide all, especially children and youth, with educational opportunities that empower them to contribute actively to sustainable development.

b. Promote the contribution of the arts and humanities as well as the sciences in sustainability education.

c. Enhance the role of the mass media in raising awareness of ecological and social challenges.

d. Recognize the importance of moral and spiritual education for sustainable living.

16. Promote a culture of tolerance, nonviolence, and peace. a. Encourage and support mutual understanding, solidarity, and cooperation among all peoples and within and among nations.

b. Implement comprehensive strategies to prevent violent conflict and use collaborative problem solving to manage and resolve environmental conflicts and other disputes.

c. Demilitarize national security systems to the level of a non-provocative defense posture, and convert military resources to peaceful purposes, including ecological restoration.

d. Eliminate nuclear, biological, and toxic weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.

e. Ensure that the use of orbital and outer space supports environmental protection and peace.

f. Recognize that peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part.

Yeah, it was about that point (#10) that my radar started to go on.

All are important. But this one really stood out:

"16. f. Recognize that peace is the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part."

Did someone make a small mistake. What happened to our Creator, God? Ahhh nuts, I forgot, the New World Order, has a single New World Religion without Christ, Mohammad, Buddha, etc.! I wonder how that is going to be achieved?

I wonder if our benevolent "Bloviationg Fiddlers" in Washington knew about all of the above before they voted on S-2611?

Interesting. The Bible speaks of the world leader

"making war with peace."

A master at setting traps and springing them on increassing numbers of victims.
