World Government is what the elites want

This is exactly what they want! How is it that none of us were aware of this Bill even being debated, much less passed, in the House today? Am I just slipping and everyone but me knew about it?!?!

And to think that with all of this dictatorial behavior, calls for proof of his origins are not crashing upon the White House like a hurricane.

But, that's silly to ask for the credentials of a man who can bankrupt and destroy everything Americans hold dear with the stroke of a pen.

What BO truly is, should be as obvious to these fools as someone grabbing them by both lapels and screaming in their face.

I had to get back up for some reason. Once I read the later posts here, I decided I had to read Christnotes.

This is today’s verse (KJV):

“During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Daniel 2:19-23

The Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters things are all diversions, perhaps in reality to these bills.

Re: Southern Sunshine's post: Looks like Bush was up to something too. From your post on p. 65 (emphasis mine): “XIII . C onsistency with International Law CMS Plans would be implemented in accordance with customary international law, including as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention, and with treaties and other international agreements to which the United States is a party.

Now look what the Heritage Foundation had to say 02/08/2008: The U.S. Senate has not ratified, and therefore the United States is not a party to, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, commonly known as the "Law of the Sea Treaty," or LOST. The Bush Administration's fiscal year 2009 budget proposal, however, requests nearly $5 million to fund the LOST organization as well as the international tribunal established by the treaty. The Administration's request is both fiscally irresponsible and opposed to U.S. national interest. If it is not withdrawn, Congress should reject the Administration's proposal and any other request to provide funding for international organizations of which the United States is not a member.

Question is: Why would the the words, "...CMS Plans would be implemented in accordance with customary international law, including as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention..., be included if we aren't party to the "Law of the Sea Treaty"?

Hmmmm....... " *********I tried to get the italics off from here, but was unable to********* Hmmmmmm.....is right.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1909569/posts

You are right, Bush wanted it ratified. As far as I know it has not been passed; however, it seems like it was referred to in the wording of Obama's Executive Order.

Yes, it is in Section II (iii)!!!!!!!!!!!! b) The United States shall promote this policy by: •

(i) ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative framework for the stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes that facilitates cohesive actions across the Federal Government, as well as participation of State, tribal, and local authorities, regional governance structures, nongovernmental organizations, the public, and the private sector; •

(ii) cooperating and exercising leadership at the international level;

(iii) pursuing the United States' accession to the Law of the Sea Convention; and •

(iv) supporting ocean stewardship in a fiscally responsible manner

So, yes,......he is by Executive Order PROMOTING the LOST Treaty.....and as I have read over and over, IT is NOT in the best interests of our country to abide by his treaty!...we are giving our sovereignty AWAY to the UN!

Thank you so much for the verse, combat boots. I’m going to have to sleep at some point and I think this may be what I need to get me headed in that direction:)

I found these on the Rules Committee web site per these 2 bills:

Amendment in the nature of a substitute that combines provisions of H.R. 3534, the “Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources Act of 2009,” and H.R. 5629, the “Oil Spill Accountability and Environmental Protection Act of 2010.”

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS IN PART B PROPOSED TO BE MADE IN ORDER
(summaries derived from information provided by sponsors)

Sponsor
#

1. Rahall (WV)
#13
(REVISED) (1) Makes a technical change. (2) Strikes “biomass” from the Renewable Energy Resource definition. (3) Clarifies that the Secretary of the Interior may enter into cooperative education and training agreements with safety training firms in establishing the National Oil and Gas Health and Safety Academy. (4) Clarifies that the Secretary is permitted to consult with industry representatives regarding training program curricula, but is not authorized to utilize industry representatives as instructional personnel for the trainings. (5) Imposes civil penalties on CEO’s who certify to false information about a company’s capability to prevent or contain an oil spill. (6) Establishes a Citizen’s Advisory Committee composed of non-energy industry individuals to assist the Gulf Coast Restoration Task Force in its work. (7) Clarifies that the Regional Assessment and Regional Strategic Plan created by the Great Lakes Regional Coordination Council shall include only renewable and not non-renewable energy resources. (8) Ensures that Gulf residents would have the right of first refusal for processing the claims filed due to the oil spill. (9) Replaces the requirement for dispersant manufacturers to disclose their product’s chemical formula with a requirement to disclose dispersant products’ ingredients. (10) Provides that discharges resulting from salvage activities consistent with the National Contingency Plan or as directed by the President are exempt from liability under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. (11) Requires redundancy in accident and spill response plans as part of the permitting process under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. (12) Authorizes a study of the economic, safety, and environmental impacts of requiring a relief well be drilled in tandem with the drilling of some or all wells. (13) Requires the GAO to complete a study to determine whether the reforms to the Department of Interior mandated in this legislation have increased oversight and decreased conflicts of interest within the department. (14) Includes in the Environmental Study an analysis of the cumulative impact of drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf. (15) Requires oil and gas companies to pay royalties on all oil that is discharged from a well, including spilled oil. (16) Directs GAO to study the impact of assessing a fee on the processing of oil and gas leases and using the proceeds to fund the gathering of baseline environmental data necessary for the permitting process. (17) Directs the Secretary of the Interior to arrange with the National Academy of Engineering to study and report to the Secretary regarding whether the accuracy of collection of royalties on production of oil, condensate, and natural gas under leases of federal lands would be improved by implementing certain prescribed measures. (18) Amends the liability provisions in the Oil Pollution Act to protect claimants from signing broad liability releases, and to clarify that the new cause of action under OPA for damages to human health does not supersede remedies under other federal law.
(20 minutes)

#72
Would ensure there is no delay in the development of ocean renewable energy resources, including offshore wind, in the establishment of the new Bureau of Energy and Resource Management.
(10 minutes)

4. Shea-Porter (NH)

Would ensure that the ethics guidelines required for certain Department of Interior employees are updated at least every three years. The amendment would also ensure that the best available technology for oil spill response and mitigation, and the availability and accessibility of that technology is part of the Offshore Technology Research and Risk Assessment Program. Finally, the amendment would require that operators annually certify that their response and exploration plans include the best available technology and its availability.
(10 minutes)

7. Connolly (VA), Holt (NJ), Welch (VT)

(10 minutes)

8. Melancon (LA), Childers (MS)

See post #60 above:

These are links to something I saw on John Hagee the other night.

Jesus told Peter, “Come.” Peter didn’t look at the churning waters about to sink his boat. He stepped out on the water and looked at Jesus. In these waters, we are never lost, no matter what comes. Not with Jesus Himself holding out His Hand to us.

Come quickly, Lord.
Amen.

Thanks, Combat_Boots, for staying up so late with us and doing the research. It seems like our only hope is that it will be defeated in the Senate NEXT WEEK....Massive amounts of people need to be informed. I feel that there is much work to be done....I would appreciate your help. In the morning, I will focus on organization. I think it is the 11th hour and time to get this information out to MANY others. Please private message me if you know how we can go about this. I hope we have better luck with this than the stimulus or healthcare deal! Good night everyone. Thanks for hanging in there. May God Give Us Strength and Bless Us All!
