Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
Gun Grabbers' Global Gestapo
by William F. Jasper
That the citizens of the United States of America are being
disarmed -- both as individuals and as a nation -- can hardly be
questioned. Succumbing to the siren promises of peace and safety,
we are giving up our weapons to Godless global planners, who in
turn are delivering us over to enemies -- both foreign and
domestic -- who despise the foundations upon which our beloved
nation was founded.
A major problem for the American people in recognizing the
terrible danger and treachery involved in our disarmament is the
fact that it has been occurring as a gradual process rather than a
single, discreet act. Domestic disarmament ("gun control") and
national disarmament ("international arms control") have been
proceeding simultaneously over the past 30 years, promoted by the
same subversive forces. The gun control "movement," if allowed to
succeed, will result in an unarmed American citizenry cowering
before street criminals and completely subject to a totalitarian
dictatorship run by even more dangerous criminals in Washington.
The arms control "movement," meanwhile, is pushing us ever closer,
and at an accelerating pace, toward a global tyranny in which
control over our military has been relinquished to an all-powerful
United Nations.
The central problem for the American people, however, in
recognizing the danger before us, is our collective blindness due
to the intellectual, moral and spiritual disarmament we have
already permitted. The popular notions that guns cause crime and
that armies and military weapons cause war -- and that the
solution, therefore, is to disarm completely individuals and
nations and transfer all weapons to a single governing authority
-- are frightening manifestations of the extent of that
disarmament. It is a sad reflection of the abandonment of the
Christian worldview, which holds that war and crime are caused by
men yielding to the sinful impulses of their fallen nature and
violating the laws of God and society. The solution then, is
two-fold: to work for the increase of virtue through the
conversion of sinners, and to establish and maintain a just social
order that recognizes the right, and allows the means, of both the
individual and the nation-state to self-defense.
Jesus Christ himself taught: "When a strong man armed keepeth his
court, those things are in peace which he possesseth. But if a
stronger than he come upon him and overcome him, he will take away
all his armour wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils"
(Luke 11:21-22). Obviously, it is important to be armed
physically, but trust in material arms is foolish if we do not
also "put on the whole armour of God" (Ephesians 6:13).
If we are to remain a free people, it is essential for Americans
to be both spiritually and physically armed -- as individuals and
as a nation. Unfortunately, we have allowed evil men to sow the
seeds of individual and national disarmament -- both spiritually
and materially -- for decades.
Global Gun Control
Many Americans undoubtedly were alarmed to read in their
newspapers on May 24, 1994 a story by Associated Press reporter
Charles J. Hanley on a new United Nations stealth gun control
initiative for the whole world. The AP article reported:
So quietly that even the gun lobby hasn't
noticed, the United Nations is beginning to
set its sights on global gun control.
The U.N. Disarmament Commission has adopted a
working paper, a basis for future debate, that
proposes fighter controls on the gun trade in
the United States and other member nations as
a way of combating international arms
trafficking.
That same day, the Washington Times, in an article entitled "U.S.
OKs study of U.N. gun control," reported on the same development:
The Clinton administration has agreed to
participate in a discussion of ways for the
United Nations to control the manufacture of
guns and their sales to civilians.
This represents the first U.N. effort to
foster regulation of the multi-billion-dollar
trade in small arms ....
The U.N. working paper declares that
governments individually are "impotent" to
deal with global arms trafficking and proposes
"harmonization" of gun control standards
around the world to make trafficking easier to
spot and prevent.
"The arms permitted for civilian use ...
should be subject to controls at all points in
the chain, from production and/or acquisition
up to the time they are sold to an individual.
From then on they should remain subject to
monitoring and control," the paper says.
Any "harmonization" would inevitably mean
tightening controls on the loosely regulated
U.S. gun business ....
Naturally, in the United Nations, where the vast majority of
member states are authoritarian regimes, "harmonization" means
that American citizens must yield their rights for the common
"global good." The UN Charter, of course, like most of the
national constitutions of UN member states, recognizes no
God-given individual rights and certainly no individual right to
keep and bear arms.
Bureaucratic Runaround
Considering the brazen assault this represents on a fundamental
human right and on American national sovereignty, it is
understandable that both the UN and the Clinton Administration
would want to keep this subversive initiative as quiet as possible
and would be reluctant to discuss it. Officials at the U.S. State
Department and the UN rebuffed repeated attempts by THE NEW
AMERICAN to obtain a copy of the working paper or to discuss it in
detail. First we were told that the AP and Washington Times
reports were erroneous and exaggerated, and that concern was
overblown. Unconvinced, we insisted we would like to judge for
ourselves by examining the document.
At State, after several office transfers, we were informed that
Ambassador Stephen Ledogar, the U.S. representative on the
Disarmament Commission, was out of the country and no one else
knew how to obtain a copy of the document. At the UN, after six
departmental transfers, we reached the director of the UN
Disarmament Commission, a Mr. Sohrab Kheradi, who informed us that
the report would not be released until mid-July. However, under
our persistent entreaties, Mr. Kheradi agreed that he would
arrange for THE NEW AMERICAN to receive a pre-release copy
forthwith.
Days passed, still no working paper. More calls to the UN and more
promises to send the report. Weeks passed. Finally, we reached the
secretary of the Disarmament Commission himself, Mr. Kuo-chung
Lin, who had been away on vacation. Mr. Lin assured us that the
concerns stirred by initial news coverage of the working paper
were "based on a misunderstanding" of the nature and significance
of the report. "This is only the report of the chairman of the
Working Group [on disarmament]" on the group's proposed agenda
"for discussion over the next two years," he explained. "It
doesn't establish any policy or have any binding effect." But is
it not true, we asked, that its purpose is to encourage the
establishment of policy that will have "binding effect"? No, no,
he laughed. Its purpose is simply to encourage "debate and
discussion."
Of course, as a UN official from Communist China, where debate and
discussion can land you in prison, and where unarmed dissenters
are unceremoniously squashed beneath the tracks of army tanks, Mr.
Lin's cavalier attitude toward attacks on the Second Amendment is
understandable, even expected.
High-Level Treason
The attitudes of American officials, who have taken an oath of
office to defend and protect the Constitution, are far more
troubling. Unfortunately, it will come as a shock to most
Americans to learn that the proposal and "discussion" of UN gun
controls applicable to U.S. citizens is not new. It is the
culmination of a program of national disarmament launched by U.S.
officials over 30 years ago. The program was unveiled at the UN on
September 25, 1961 by President Kennedy. Entitled Freedom From
War: The United States Program for General and Complete
Disarmament in a Peaceful World, this document is one of the most
revolutionary and subversive proposals ever put forward by any
government official. Incredibly, the program originally introduced
in this document became -and remains -- official U.S. government
policy.
In short, Freedom From War is a proposal for the complete
surrender of the United States armed forces to the United Nations.
It calls for a three-stage disarmament process leading to the
transfer of all national military forces -- including those of the
U.S. and the USSR -- to the United Nations, and the establishment
of a UN Peace Force as the unchallengeable global military power.
In its own words, Freedom From War (pages 18-19) states:
In Stage III progressive controlled
disarmament ... would proceed to a point where
no state would have the military power to
challenge the progressively strengthened U.N.
Peace Force ....
Pages 3 and 4 of Freedom From War list these "specific objectives
toward which nations should direct their efforts":
• The disbanding of all national armed forces
and the prohibition of their reestablishment
in any form whatsoever other than those
required to preserve internal order and for
contributions to a United Nations Peace Force;
• The elimination from national arsenals of
all armaments, including all weapons of mass
destruction and the means for their delivery,
other than those required for a United Nations
Peace Force and for maintaining internal
order...."
