Copyright 2004 The Deseret News Publishing Co. Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City) November 1, 2004 Monday Beware of growing U.N. I am concerned about the lot of my fellow Americans -- especially my fellow Utahns -- as I watch with fear and trepidation the ever-steady growth of the United Nations and the seemingly unlimited support it is receiving from our government. Are we not aware that this World Government was brought into existence by devoted members of the Socialist establishment immediately after World War II? The United Nations, the world's "greatest hope for peace," has conned the people of...

Published October 28, 2004 ASSOCIATED PRESS Justice Sandra Day O'Connor yesterday extolled the growing role of international law in U.S. courts, saying judges would be negligent if they disregarded its importance in a post-September 11 world of heightened tensions. In a 15-minute speech at Georgetown law school, Justice O'Connor made no mention of the health of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, who was hospitalized this week for thyroid cancer and is expected to return to work Monday. Justice O'Connor said the Supreme Court is increasingly taking cases that demand a better understanding of foreign legal systems. A recent example...

John Kerry believes it is better to sacrifice American lives for the United Nations than for the United States. If you don't believe me on this, perhaps you will believe a paper that endorses his candidacy – the Washington Post. Here's what a front-page Washington Post news story written by Helen Dewar and Thomas E. Ricks said on this point yesterday: Kerry's belief in working with allies runs so deep that he has maintained that the loss of American life can be better justified if it occurs in the course of a mission with international support. To justify that nearly...

ICANNFocus.org has a disturbing report on the latest steps the United Nations is taking in the area of Internet governance. The UN's World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) recently completed a meeting (PrepCom-1) in Hammamet, Tunisia in preparation for the second phase of the WSIS process. Following the meeting, the Secretariat of WSIS' Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) issued a statement discussing the organization's plans and goals.ICANNFocus.org says that means the UN-appointed group "will have, in essence, free reign to involve themselves in and make recommendations regarding virtually every aspect of the internet, including content."

Like most sane people, I have generally regarded conspiracy theory as an intellectual rat-hole that distracts from the real issues. But I have recently been forced to the conclusion that it is an encrustation of fantasy around real truths that cannot safely be ignored. I’m not about to tell you Martians shot Kennedy, so hear me out. To reach the bedrock of truth under conspiracy theory, one must dig away layers of nonsense and clarify some confused questions of political philosophy. But eventually, truths emerge without which it is impossible to understand the recent history of this country and the...

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker leads just one of nine separate investigations into a United Nations humanitarian program that may have enriched Saddam Hussein and UN officials. But Mr. Volcker's inquiry is arguably the most significant, as he heads the UN's internal probe into what some critics describe as "the biggest financial scandal in history." An estimated $10 billion was siphoned from the $65 billion Oil for Food program. Volcker recently finished assembling his investigative team and vowed to produce a "truly definitive report" in six to eight months. "The chips will fall where they may," he wrote in...

April 26, 2004 'Empire' -- A Losing Political Issue by Christopher PrebleChristopher Preble is a member of the Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy (www.realisticforeignpolicy.org) and the director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute.Not quite a year ago, when the euphoria over the U.S. military's sweeping victory over Saddam Hussein's armies was at its high point, Washington was consumed with talk of empire."No need to run away from the label," wrote Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations, "America's destiny is to police the world." Harvard's Michael Ignatieff agreed. "Imperialism doesn't stop being necessary," he said, "just...

Global Tyranny ... Bloc by Bloc By William F. Jasper The New American, April 9, 2001 The construction of a world super-state is progressing one chunk at a time with NAFTA set to become the “European Union” of the Western Hemisphere. “How do you eat an elephant?” asks an old riddle. The answer: “One bite at a time.” It is the same with any large task; successful accomplishment requires dividing the project into logical constituent parts and then systematically, incrementally proceeding, step by step, bite by bite. In the case of our elephant metaphor, that would mean skinning, dressing, and...

GLOBALIZATION´S DARK SIDE Would a One-World Government Protect Real Human Rights?LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE, Belgium, SEPT. 8, 2001 (Zenit.org).- The United Nations is embracing a type of globalization that would radically redefine rights and the power of nations. Here, ZENIT offers an adapted excerpt from an essay by Michel Schooyans, professor emeritus at Louvain University, on the problems of globalization.* * *Exchange and interdependenceThe term globalization has become part today of our current vocabulary. On a very general level, the term has, so to speak, two meanings: political and economic. The two meanings indicate that, on the world level, exchange -- something that ...

p20 The Foundations of Interplanetary Unity 1993 The evidence that Earth is being visited by at least one ET civilization is extensive both in scope and detail. In its totality, it comprises a body of evidence which at the very least supports the general assessment that ET life has been deteceted, that a vigorous program of research and serious diplomatic initiatives is warranted. Consider the following overview of facts: * There are numerous daytime and nighttime photographs and videotapes of clearly non-human spacecraft from all over the world; these films and videotapes have been evaluated and deemed authentic by competent...

NEA to target Republicans in 2004 Posted: August 20, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Back in 1984, when I wrote "NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education," my goal was to awaken conservatives and Republicans to the fact that the National Education Association had become a radical, leftist political organization using the Democrat Party to achieve its goals. For years, they had been using their extensive local influence to elect liberals and leftists to school boards, municipal governments, state legislatures, and the U.S. Congress. Back in 1967, five years after the NEA had become a labor union, the NEA's...

"Cannibals capture three hunters an American, a Briton, and an Israeli," begins a classic Israeli joke. The first two hunters make last requests typical to their nationalities, then it is the Israeli's turn. He asks that he be punched in the face. The surprised cannibal grants the wish, at which point the Israeli pulls out a gun, shoots the chief, and frees himself and his friends. The American and Briton, furious, demand to know why he prolonged their terrifying experience when he had the power to free them all. The Israeli replies: "What? Are you mad? The UN would have...

Transcribed manually from the magazine, The New American, the official publication of the John Birch Society ( www.JBS.org ), from August 11, 2003, pages 27 & 28 of the printed magazine. Regretably, this article is not 'on line'( I do subscribe & read the magazine ). The latter third is truncated for its predicatable redundancy-though I worked to avoid any change in tone, intent or meaning. [Accompanied by large photo of Mr. Bremer, with harsh facial expression, standing in front of a private contractor or governmental security agent, who is quite properly poised to employ his rifle ( his hand...

Blair maps out election battle Clinton and Blair will lead the centre left think session Recasting Britain's public services is the key to Labour winning the centre ground at the next election, Tony Blair has said. In a speech to a conference of centre left political leaders, Mr Blair warned of the risks facing Labour when it fights the Conservatives to win a third term in power. Mr Blair said his government had to battle against both the right-wing and conservative parts of the left-wing. Former US President Bill Clinton and South African President Thabo Mbeki are among those...

What Is The Pax Liberalis? The problem with political policies based upon ideologies is that they're based on ideologies. From Marx/Engels on the left to Rand/Hitler on the right, the futility of an ideologically-based political system has been proven time and time again to be both unworkable and dangerous. No matter how much force a government uses to impose it's political will on an unwilling segment of the populace, it will never achieve it's goal of total unity, because an ideologically based government lives in denial of a simple reality: that there is no such thing as a perfect system...

<p>Editor's note: The May edition of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine – titled "THE NEW WORLD RE-ORDER" – is a stunning expose of the attempts by globalist organizations, secret societies and others to subjugate American sovereignty to the rule of international law administered by the United Nations.</p> <p>Do you believe in conspiracies?</p> <p>Do you believe there are powerful people who conspire together annually to solidify their grip on world domination?</p> <p>Do you believe all of this happens in secret, with the quiet complicity of the world media?</p>

<p>Once again the future of Bill Clinton has become a hot topic that rivals — or perhaps supplements — "Plan Hillary," which now is being massaged by New York's junior senator. Keeping his plans as secret as the flight plan of a stealth bomber, Bill has been scheming to prepare his next leap into the spotlight.</p>

The United States of the World? Jim Reed, for CBC News Online | October 23, 2002 "The coalition will assume responsibility for the territorial defense and security of Iraq after liberation." -Zalmay Khalilzad, special assistant to U.S. President Bush On a recent visit to Costa Rica, a law professor friend shared with me her view of the growing international role of the United States. She thinks that history is leading us inexorably toward a world government. That government, she believes, will be led by the United States (assisted by Britain and Russia), in a kind of "Pax Americana." Her contention...

The Un-American United Nations (Millennium Version) by Steve Farrell (Nevada) Like many of you, growing up under the tutelage of the public school system and the big three television networks in the 1960’s and 1970’s, I recall the zealous and reverential treatment afforded the world’s eighth wonder: the United Nations. Its ideals, they said, were homespun American ideals. Its immediate mission: to perpetuate the same across the globe. Its ultimate objective: to bring an end to poverty, prejudice, conflict and war. Indeed, some envisioned and vigorously proclaimed future life under the United Nations as the last and highest stage of...

By Alex Kirby BBC News Online environment correspondent The world is now in earnest about working to end poverty, according to the United Nations official running the Earth Summit, Nitin Desai. He believes the meeting will succeed, despite criticism of its huge and unwieldy agenda. A decision by President Bush to attend would be "a very important indication of support". Mr Desai said the way the world was developing lent the summit an unmistakeable urgency. He was speaking to BBC News Online about a report, Global Challenge, Global Opportunity: Trends in sustainable development, published by the UN department of economic...
