Selling Ark of Hope through the classroom (UN Earth Charter)
CFP ^ | December 17, 2004 | Judi McLeod

Day after day in New York City, a small and strange procession can be seen moving along the pavement. While taxicabs whiz by and passersby move out of the way on Big Apple sidewalks, a handful of acolytes transport a large, hand painted box crafted from the wood of a sycamore tree. Make that "a sustainably harvested in Germany" sycamore tree. Dressed not in long flowing robes, but in average business apparel, the acolytes are garden-variety United Nations employees. There’s no need to hire Brink’s for protection and nothing but propaganda and hype worth robbing. The precious cargo of the box walked by the acolytes are the so-called Earth Charter, printed on actual papyrus and 300 small, handmade "tenemos" books.

The box is pretentiously called the Ark of Hope, a not very good knockoff of the biblical Ark of the Covenant, which contained the tablets of the Ten Commandments given to Moses.

Like so many things UN, the Ark and its Charter are cloaked in confusion and lost in long-winded ideology, described in ambiguous wordage.

Not for nothing was the first UN Secretary General Alger Hiss a convicted Soviet spy.

Pomp and ceremony have been part of the Ark of Hope since its inception.

Were it not for the fact that the Ark of Hope is being promoted full-steam, it would be easy to mistake it for something out of the movie, Lord of the Rings.

The Earth Charter carried about in the Ark was designed by two grown men, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan senior adviser, Canadian Maurice Strong.

Written up with 16 recommendations, placed in the Ark and promoted as something sacrosanct, artists took over. . . . .
