Should U.N. Broker Return of Alaska to Russia?
By Cliff Kincaid | June 29, 2007
At a recent Heritage Foundation symposium on the Law of the Sea Treaty....Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy calmly and methodologically delineated the problems with the treaty, and how U.S. national security could be adversely affected...
Gaffney had complained about the treaty, formally known as the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), creating a global tax mechanism. Under UNCLOS, now before the Senate, U.S. corporations would be required to pay taxes to an International Seabed Authority for the right to exploit ocean resources, including developing sources of energy for the American people.
In a release,(House Republican Whip) Blunt declared, "More than 25 years ago, President Reagan refused to commit this country to a treaty that would've weakened our sovereignty at home, and rendered American companies less competitive abroad We need all the energy we can get, whenever and wherever we can get it. Submitting ourselves to an unelected, unaccountable international ocean bureaucracy when it comes to distributing what American companies rightfully mine doesn't strike me as a good thing to do 25 years ago, today, tomorrow, or in the future."
Yet the Bush Administration is vigorously pushing the Senate to ratify the treaty creating this global socialist entity.
Not surprisingly, the major media are backing ratification. The bias is evident in stories in the New York Times,... "the United States is on the sidelines for the moment, as conservatives in Congress delay ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, which governs all claims."
UNCLOS "governs all claims?" Since when did a U.N. bureaucracy acquire such power? And why should the U.S. acquiesce in this power grab?

Because Alaska is connected to Russia, right?
It's the other way around. You cannot find a smart person in a pool of stupid ones. The country no longer knows what she is and, in this pool of people, we have a hard time finding a person that represents out views. The so-called conservative Bush is very much a socialist, who has increased the government by 60%, and a transnationalist that has erased our borders. The "liberals" are not liberals at all: they are a more militant wing of the socialist movement. Good luck to all of us in 2008 and even more so in 2012.
maybe..a..bad..processor.
or..a..bug
has..to..wait..till..I..get..back..to..America
Why does Bush spend so much time kissing KGB Commie Putin’s backside?
Ping.
I first found the Russia take over in a blog at:
Interesting blog, check the home page:

Give away Alaska? What the heck for?? We bought it from Russia and there’s no reason why we should have to give it back. It’s one of our key resources for domestic oil (’course the greenies won’t let us drill up there), and if we give it Putin he’ll take the oil for his own, adding to what he’s already getting from Antarctica, and we’ll be stuck relying solely on the Middle East. Man, Bush has really lost it since he got re-elected.
Why should we give Alaska to Canada? WE bought it, not them. And why should Canada be in a union? Why should any North American country be in a union? The last thing we need is the NAU, our equivalent of the EU. Worst idea I’ve ever heard. If anything, it makes no sense.
The ‘Law of the Sea Treaty’ has been on the administration’s back-burner since 2004, and it comes as no surprise that the president pushing for it now.
beats,,the,,assinine..idea..of..giving..it..up..to..putinites
Maybe this is why both Bushes are with Putnin this weekend.
Actually, I like “the decider” byte. It flys in the face of the effete eletists.
I always thought the “compassionate conservative” bit was a crock and, in essence pretty offensive, too. I’m a Christian conservative. Am I not compassionate by nature?
I think that Bush is a decent fellow and I like to give the President a bit of slack, but I’m out of rope these days.
Yeah, Mr New World Order and Globalist together are enough to scare the **** out of you. Put them together with Putin and a critical mass is reached leading to something terrible for America and her citizens.
I’m beginning to believe that Bush should be removed from office. He seems to only want to do our nation harm. He still has a year and a half remaining in his term. That’s way too much time for him to use to screw us all over.
Well, dude, if we returned Alaska to Russia, we’d have oil from there in no time at all, the Russians wouldn’t give a f&ck about gay caribou!
True, but the best option is to keep it for ourselves.
“As far as Bush is concerned, he wants to severely erode US sovereignty.” you said
I think the main influence behind this world government push is the Bilderbackers or whatever they are called. They have secret meetings. Their meetings include many top level bureaucrats and corporate leaders. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if Soros isn’t a member.
There is a group of world government initiators, with the help of the UN, putting together a plan for everything and everybody. They are planning what to do with our land, our farms, our gardens, our industry, our natural resources etc. They are planning who will have children and which ones will get an education, and which ones will dig ditches.
Trust me. These people do not have our well being in mind. They are only in it for the elitists who plan to share the rule of the world, as well as the wealth, with about 300 of their like minded cronies.
Way too much government policy comes out of those meetings. At least, it seems a coincidence that these hair brained initiatives tend to surface after one of those meetings. And I think they just met last month in Brussells.
