UN Treaties Threaten
American Liberties

Globalization" is the trendy word of our times, and Americans should wake up to what it really means. It's not just finding all those made-in-Asia low-priced items in your local stores. Plans are afoot to use treaties to lock the United States into global networks that control not only trade, but judicial systems, military forces, "peace-keeping" escapades, national laws, and even governments.

Many are frank enough to say that they want to replace national sovereignty with open borders, not only for the transit of goods but also for the movement of whole populations. NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana boasted that the Yugoslav war in the 1990s moved us into "a system of international relations in which human rights . . . are much more important than sovereignty." Bill Clinton repeatedly talks about merging "integrated economies and integrated democracies" to "build a global system." The Declaration of Quebec City, signed by President George W. Bush on April 22, 2001, includes globalist language such as "commitment to hemispheric integration."

Our friendly-but-faithless European allies want to lock America into a political, judicial and military structure in which the United States would have only one vote. They already have conned us into joining the World Trade Organization where we have only one vote while the European Union has 15 votes and thus can manipulate the WTO's judicial system, which operates in secret, against the U.S.

The keystone of the globalists' plan is the International Criminal Court (ICC), which started functioning in the Hague on April 11, 2002. Accountable to no one, not even the United Nations, the ICC plans to prosecute crimes that have not yet been defined, in procedures that violate every U.S. constitutional safeguard.

Bill Clinton signed the ICC Treaty on New Year's Eve, but didn't dare submit it to the Senate for ratification. The Bush Ad-ministration has announced its opposition to the ICC, but the new bureaucrats in the Hague are claiming jurisdiction over U.S. citizens anyway. This puts every U.S. serviceman and woman, and even U.S. travelers especially if they are or have been public officials, at risk of being grabbed for trial by judges from nations hostile to the rule of law.

The American Servicemembers' Protection Act, which would protect our troops from the ICC, was passed by the Senate sponsored by Jesse Helms and by the House sponsored by Tom DeLay, but it has never become law.

The globalists' other plans to encircle the United States by treaty include:

  • A global tax levied by the United Nations on all international currency transactions, which would give the UN billions of dollars to promote world government.
  • An expansion of NATO by admitting countries from Eastern Europe, which will bind the United States to defend uncertain borders that have been fought over for centuries.
  • A global authority to control energy, with the power to reduce U.S. energy consumption and thereby our standard of living, to be achieved through the treaty now called the Kyoto Protocol.
