Yet these attacks were virtually ignored during the 2000 political campaign. This Phyllis Schlafly Report is the outline of a 40-page loose-leaf Briefing Book designed to help citizens explain these issues to elected officials and the media. President Bill Clinton made a speech to the United Nations General Assembly on September 22, 1997 in which he described the series of treaties he had signed and sent to the U.S. Senate for ratification as a "web of institutions and arrangements" that has set "the international ground rules for the 21st century." Clinton's treaties are chipping away at American sovereignty, our individual liberties, our freedom to govern ourselves and to raise and educate our children, and our national security. Many of these treaties also interfere with our land ownership and our private property. Each of these treaties sets up a new global bureaucracy with some kind of monitoring apparatus that would exercise some measure of control over American citizens, or our families, or our schools, or our businesses, or our use of natural resources and energy, or our land. International Criminal Court (ICC) — This treaty sets up an international court with the power to try individuals, in contrast to the long-existing World Court which can adjudicate disputes only among nations. The ICC would be extremely dangerous to Americans because Americans tried by the ICC would not have the protections of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights guarantees of due process. The ICC puts all U.S. servicemembers stationed overseas at risk of prosecution on trivial or malicious charges. Convention on the Rights of the Child — This treaty purports to give every child the right to express his own views freely in all matters, to receive information of all kinds through the media of the child's choice, to freedom of religion, to be protected from interference with his correspondence, to have access to information from national and international sources in the media, to use his own language, and to have the right to "rest and leisure." It would be harmful to all Americans, including children, because it is based on the concept that a child's rights originate with the UN Treaty itself or with government, in contrast to the American ideology that rights flow to the individual from our Creator. This treaty will gravely interfere with parents' rights to raise and educate their children. The treaty assumes that the UN rights of the child would be enforced against the parents, probably by government attorneys. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) — This treaty would be harmful to all Americans, especially women, who now enjoy far more rights than the treaty could ever give. It attempts to regulate our laws, customs, personal relationships, family education, textbooks, and wages. All this and more would be under the supervision of a committee of 23 so-called "experts." Kyoto Protocol to the Framework Convention on Climate Change — This treaty would require the U.S. to reduce our energy consumption to 7% below our 1990 levels, a tremendous reduction in our standard of living. Meanwhile, it would allow Europeans to evade reductions by averaging among the EU countries, and it would impose no limitations at all on 130 "developing" nations including China, India and Mexico. It would encourage U.S. fossil-fuel-burning plants to relocate to restriction-free countries, thus moving a million jobs overseas. Convention on the Law of the Sea — This treaty would create an International Seabed Authority with sovereignty over three-fourths of the earth's surface and the ability to impose direct taxes on natural resources. Decisions would be dominated by Third World countries. World Trade Organization — This treaty pretends to be "free trade" but is actually world trade managed by a supra-national body in Geneva that sets, administers, and enforces the rules. It includes a legislature called the Ministerial Conference, consisting of 135 nations each with one vote; an executive branch consisting of a Director-General and an unelected multinational bureaucracy; and a supreme court of trade called the Dispute Settlement Board that decides trade disputes in secret and whose rulings cannot be vetoed by any nation. The WTO has already ruled against the United States four times. Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty — This treaty would forbid us to conduct even underground nuclear tests, while we would not be able to verify other countries' compliance. Periodic, underground nuclear testing is essential to the maintenance of a safe, reliable and effective U.S. nuclear deterrent. Convention on Biological Diversity — This treaty is a plan to set aside half the land area in North America as "Wilderness" and much of the other half as buffer zones and corridors where human use by Americans would be severely restricted. It would put tremendous tracts of U.S. land under federal control, managed according to UN land use policies. World Heritage Convention — This treaty granted special powers to the UN agency called UNESCO to designate selected American treasures as World Heritage sites and to develop regulations and policies concerning their use. The 22 sites already marked by UNESCO include some of America's greatest treasures: Independence Hall, the Statue of Liberty, Jefferson's home at Monticello, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Chemical Weapons Convention — This treaty purports to ban chemical weapons, but the dangerous countries most likely to use chemical weapons (Libya, Syria, Iraq, North Korea, China, Iran and Russia) either won't sign the treaty or have indicated they will not be bound by it. The treaty is unverifiable and unenforceable, and so it increases, not eliminates, the risk of chemical weapons use and seriously damages U.S. national security. NATO Expansion Treaty — This treaty admitted three new members into NATO — Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic — and commits the U.S. to go to war to defend their borders, which ethnic factions have been fighting about for a thousand years and most of which were established as a result of bloody battles. United Nations Conferences United Nations conferences pretend to be democratic gatherings of diverse delegates from all over the world who hammer out their differences and agree on plans of action. On the contrary, the conference managers write the reports and recommendations ahead of time and then manipulate the so-called delegates to call it a "consensus." UN conferences offer grand opportunities for tax-paid bureaucrats to connive at ways to implement their leftwing, feminist, and wealth-redistribution agendas. United Nations Millennium Assembly, New York, 2000 — The UN Millennium Assembly and Summit adopted the Millennium Declaration, which contains plans for far-reaching "reforms" designed to vastly increase the power of the UN at the expense of sovereign, independent countries. These "reforms" include: creating a UN standing army, disarming nations of all conventional and nuclear weapons, forbidding the U.S. to build a missile defense system, encouraging the International Criminal Court to exercise "compulsory jurisdiction" over all states, setting up a UN Arms register of guns, imposing UN control over the manufacture and sale of all firearms, eliminating America's veto and permanent membership in the Security Council. United Nations "Reforms" to Steal U.S. Wealth — Radical plans to use the UN to force the United States to redistribute our wealth to Third World dictators originated with a 410-page report called Our Global Neighborhood, issued in 1995 by the UN-funded Commission on Global Governance. In addition to ambitious plans to restructure the UN and create a UN standing army, the so-called "reformers" want to lay a guilt trip on Americans for using so much energy and con us into reducing our standard of living and turning our wealth over to the rest of the world. The UN "reformers" want the UN to impose direct global taxes such as an international currency transaction tax. UN Conference in Rio de Janeiro, 1992 — This UN conference, called Earth Summit II, produced several agreements that encroach on our sovereignty: the Convention on Biological Diversity (Biodiversity); the Framework Convention on Climate Change, which evolved into the 1977 Kyoto Protocol; Agenda 21, which commits nations to set national goals for a global plan to protect the environment; and the Commission on Sustainable Development, which has resulted in many federal programs and regulations carried out without congressional action or oversight. UN Conference on Women in Beijing, 1995 — This conference featured Hillary Clinton as the media attraction, Madeleine Albright as the chairman, and the late Bella Abzug, a former Congresswoman, as the one who controlled the agenda. It was designed to promote the feminist agenda in the United States and worldwide. UN Conference on Social Development in Copenhagen, 1995 — This conference is noteworthy because its principal topic of discussion was the UN imposing a global tax in order to give the UN its own flow of money independent of Congressional appropriations. UN Conference on Human Settlements in Istanbul in 1996 — This UN Conference, called Habitat II, called for a global "right to housing" to be enforced by the UN. This was designed to make the United States feel that we should provide housing for people all over the world. Executive Orders President Clinton's good friend Paul Begala described Clinton's use of Executive Orders this way: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." Clinton has issued what the press has variously called a "blizzard" or a "blitz" of Executive Orders, grabbing new powers for the executive branch, making broad public policy changes, spending non-appropriated taxpayers' money, and even trying to restructure our governmental system. Clinton has issued nearly 300 Executive Orders. Some are unconstitutional attempts to expand federal power over the states. Some are attempts to implement Clinton's global agenda. Some are federal grabs of property that belongs either to the states or to private landowners. -> To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
