Obama to push nuclear disarmament
BBC News ^ | September 24, 2009

Posted on 09/24/2009 4:47:01 AM PDT by myknowledge

US President Barack Obama is to call for an end to nuclear arms and efforts to stop the spread of the technology behind them, at an historic UN session.

In the first security council meeting chaired by the US, Mr Obama will present a resolution seeking "a world without nuclear weapons".

The meeting comes a day after Mr Obama's debut UN speech, in which he warned of a nuclear arms race.

It also comes amid growing concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The draft resolution reaffirms the council's commitment "to seek a safer world for all and to create the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons," the Associated Press reported.

It does not specifically mention countries by name, such as North Korea and Iran, but reaffirms previous Security Council resolutions relating to their nuclear plans.

Iran's nuclear program has been criticized by the US and five nations who are set to hold talks next week.

Iran says its nuclear ambitions are for peaceful energy purposes, but others fear it is developing weapons.

Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation? WHat a pipe dream. BHO is living in a fantasy world, where Pakistan has been the heavy proliferator of nuke tech to the DPRK, who in turn, provided Iran and Syria with nuke tech.

Mr. Pres__ent, in the words of the greatest President this nation has ever had, “Trust, but verify.”

You, sir, are way out of your league. You are floundering in rough seas and have no hope of righting your flawed ship of state. This is not the time to fret over our nuclear stockpile; a stockpile that has served well as a deterrent force in a mad, mad world.

BUT, if you insist on traveling this path, “Trust, but verify.”

The idiocy of gun control applied to nukes.

“When nukes are outlawed then only outlaws will have nukes.”

I wish Obama would go back to what he knows.....organizing little communities.

When he takes on things like nuclear weapons, he looks positively foolish (not to mention putting us in danger)

rule #3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength."

The communist goals were entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69 Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35; January 10, 1963 From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen ).

BHOle is like every other candy *&^ academic liberal. He think we can talk our enemies into giving up. That’s how you solve problems in a classroom, you talk them to death. You never actually have to do anything. His speech yesterday was nothing but greenhouse gas.

From "45 Communist Goals":
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

'Goals' 4-45 can be found here or at many other sites through a web search for "45 goals":

Profile: Institute For Policy Studies (IPS)

IPS’s [Institute For Policy Studies] Washington, DC headquarters quickly became a resource center for national reporters and a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize. Cora Weiss headed one of the IPS's most successful forays -- into Riverside Church in Manhattan. She was invited there in 1978 by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin to run the church's Disarmament Program, which sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe -- in the name of "peace." In 1982 Weiss helped organize the largest pro-disarmament demonstration ever held. Staged in New York City, the rally was attended by a coalition of communist organizations. During her decade-long tenure at Riverside, which became home to the National Council of Churches, Weiss regularly received Russian KGB agents, Sandinista friends, and Cuban intelligence agents. Weiss became infamous for her role in the psychological warfare conducted against U.S. prisoners of war held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam War.

The Liberation News Service, which is a news source for hundreds of "alternative" publications nationwide (with antiwar, Marxist-oriented perspectives), was founded in 1967 with IPS assistance."

Obama and the case of the missing 'thesis'
By Jim Popkin, NBC News Senior Investigative Producer
July 24, 2008

excerpt:

The hunt for Obama’s senior “thesis” began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obama’s early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time “writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.”

Journalists began hounding Columbia University for copies of the musty document. Conservative bloggers began wondering if the young Obama had written a no-nukes screed that he might come to regret. And David Bossie, the former congressional investigator and “right-wing hit man,” as one newspaper described him, took out classified newspaper ads in Columbia University’s newspaper and the Chicago Tribune in March searching for the term paper.

Bossie came up dry, but said the effort was well worth it:

“A thesis entitled Soviet Nuclear Disarmament, written at the height of The Cold War in 1983, might shed some light upon what Barack Obama thought about our most pressing foreign policy issue for 40-plus years (U.S.-Soviet Relations),” he wrote in an e-mail to NBC News.

http://deepbackground.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/24/1219454.aspx
____________________________________________________________

Here is the passage from the New York Times that the above article refers to:

"He barely mentions Columbia, training ground for the elite, where he transferred in his junior year, majoring in political science and international relations and writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament. He dismisses in one sentence his first community organizing job — work he went on to do in Chicago — though a former supervisor remembers him as 'a star performer.'"

[snip]

"he [Obama] declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.

'He doesn’t remember the names of a lot of people in his life,' said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman."

In other words “unilateral disarmament” America will, of course, be the big loser and left defenseless against an every increasingly dangerous world. There is no doubt that the nuclear deterent is what has kept us safe for the last 60 years! If you want WWIII then disarm and see the sparks fly!

Our enemies will pretend to disarm, and then when we actually do they will destroy us in a single day.

Bet on it.

Suicidal.

It’s an elaborate ruse. Why can’t we hide our weapons in case they attack us?

The NWO plan is to disarm all the nations and arm the U.N. or whatever agency will govern the world “village”. That way they’ll have the clout to order all the nations to do their will.

It seems like we’re far away from that point in time, yet I’m being surprised more and more often lately with the swiftness of the movement of events.

I don’t believe Obama is being naive here. It is deliberate.
